I spent an evening of delight— Of infinite, rhapsodic pleasure. -+-The plot?—I can't recall offhand— But say—the sets were simply grand! I tell you, I have not enjoyed So good a time since I turned seven. My spirits, I must say, were buoyed Up to the starry-vaulted heaven! -+-The author?—I forget it now— But, boy—those costumes were a wow! The gowns by Henri were divine, The rugs by Popoloff were stunning! The furniture by Smith was fine, The third-act lingerie was cunning! -.:The play contained much fluent writing? ses You should have heard us cheer the lighting! Max Lief. Why Not ? HE groom looked very winsome and petite in a wedding suit worn by his great-grandfather, with shirt, collar and cuffs to match. His trou- sers were caught here and there with safety-pins, and in his right hand he carried a peck of potatoes to give the minister. His hair was very pre arranged by Tony, the cut-rate barber around the corner, and, in the absence of jewels, glistened charmingly with vaseline. His whiskers were of light brown with uncut edges and his bridal handkerchief, prettily protruding from a pocket, was of pure white with robin's-egg blue border, from Wool- worth’s. Owing to the fact that the grand- father of the groom was six feet five and the groom five feet six, the trou- sers had a balloon effect quite in keeping with the times. They were charmingly held up by two little self- rising flower boys. Guests at the largely attended nuptials were w mous in their opinion that seldom. if ever, had they seen such a charming picture.
