SHE SHONE JUST THE SAME. IIAT she shone in society, we all admit, Though but a pleb when she married— Not by her talents, or beauty, or wit, But the size of the jewels she carried. . . . “ A™AS is known by the company he keeps.” True, else why does he find it so hard to borrow money from it? A CARDINAL Stn—Painting the town red. A GREAT YARN—The Golden Fleece. A COACHING PARTY—The driver. HE introduction into the drama of the trousers schoo) of acting, by Mr. E. Berry Wall, is bound to elevate the stage just as surely as the costume drama introduced by Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Potter has done. Mr. Wall, we are credibly informed, possesses more pairs of trousers than he can count, though the circumstance that his enemies base this estimate upon a belief that he is unable to memorize the Roman system of enumeration much above a hundred is not to be considered. This much is true at least, that Mr. Wall begins his dramatic career under more brilliant sartorial auspices than any other debutant of the ancient or modern stage. His prospective artistic triumphs are sure to give impetus to the spectacular drama. . EVOLUTIONARY. E have received the following communication from the other side of the Atlantic : Rovat. PRINcEsS’s THRATRE, Oxford Street, W. Sole Lessee, . . Miss Grace HAWTHORNE. Manager, . 2. eee Mi WLW. KELLY, Lonpon, September, 1888. Dear Stx,—Kindly insert enclosed paragraph in an early issue of your paper, and oblige yours faithfully, W.W. Ketty, Manager. The “enclosed paragraph " reads as follows : “Grace Hawthorne has added another triumph to the already long list. Her grace and undoubted talent carry everything before them in the ‘Still Alarm,’ now being played to full houses at the Princess's under the able pilotage of Mr. W. W. Kelly, ablest of managers. The piece is a pronounced success and distinct draw to Londoners, During Miss Hawthorne's assumption of the reins of power at the old house, each new venture seems to make one notch more than its predecessor.” Lire always stands ready to perform trifling favors of this nature, particularly when they are asked with so much delicacy, and we are even willing to overlook the rhetorical deficiencies of the “enclosed paragraph” in view of its modesty of sentiment. If Miss Hawthorne continues under the able pilotage of the ablest of managers, there is no limit to the number of notches that may make one more than their predecessors in her career. . . . - is reported that the Hon. Thomas Porterhouse Ochil- tree will not accept a Congressional nomination, but has accepted the leading réle in a new tank drama. . . .
