Nothing ever comes of it.” A nicot is a man who is quite sure of something that he doesn’t know anything about.—Lippincott’s, Life's Musical Calendar Tuesday, March 18, Metropolitan Op- cra House.—A vaudeville performance of the star acts in the Metropolitan reper- toire in aid of the Emergency Fund.
