MISS ANTEL BACK f AGAIN AT LYCEUM After three weeks absence from the Lyceum, Miss Dorothea Antel will resume her dutfes next week in a play especially provided for her, ‘“Lit- tle Peggy O'Moore.” Miss Antel ‘and her sister Irene were caHed to the ‘bedside of their mother on February 24. At that time there was little hope held for the recqvery, of. Mrs. Antel. THe journey of the two sis- ters to Cleveland, however, proved a happy one. Instead of meeting the Jnevitable the Misses Antel had the satisfaction of seeing their mother Who Makes Her Re-appearance Next Week at the Lyceum as “Peggy O’Moore”. fThe sight of her daughters, it . is belleved, brought ut a change in the patient’s con- ‘dition. 8o, after a goodly sojourn at ‘home, Miss Antel and her sister are ‘back in New Britain, ready to carry out their part in entertaining the public. 5 g Walter Naylor, head of the play- at the Lyceum, has selected a desirable vehicle to herald the re-appearance of Miss Antel. It is another “Peg O' My Heart.” The comparison is not objected to for it has never been alleged that ‘“‘Littl Peggy Q'Moore" latked distinction ' that it resembled “Peg” ‘at-the. e: penn of its own originality. } one loved {‘Peg O’ My Heast” and not | as real, so Wnlly sincere ‘and Jovably human, that one could no' mz‘lhtlp loving ‘her than one can oving the Violets and the wild- aawm that come, at spring.

Here is a little example came to my attention recently.

But I had no need to steel myult for Mrs. M, never mentioned the mat- ter to me. I fancied she had filled the. club up without my help, and thought no more about it.

Another such example is the way children’s sayings are spoiled in the telling. Not one person in ten re- peat's a: child's saying just as it was uttered—and so the flavor is lost, The uttérly false rumors that so often get afloat are an example of this kind of ‘inaccurate reportin.g Five or six people’s inaccuracies can entirely ' distort any act. Of course there is sometimes malice in such a distortion, but I think that is the ex- cepdon rather"thu the rule, OFAWIFE By ADELE GARRISON What Dick# Did When He Discovered Madge With Dr. Pettit, Reserved seats! Say! where do you th,Jnk you are? - You're lucky to be alive without spouting ' about -re- ved i AR , rather anaemic y ng~youth, whose truculence ‘was dnverse, pro| )n to. his dimen- mm‘v::"l‘;r Pettit-when:the ¢ phyaléian, proftered’ him fils: re- 'served seat ¢ ns, - I imagine Dr. Pettit, under all his prafessional calm, has a quick tem- per. I saw his fist clench’ involun- tarily at the ‘usher’s impertinence, then the fingers relaxed, and he said quietly to me: 7 “That is better still—we can sit any- where. we please. This little balcony looks pretty good to me.” He indicated a whole section of raised seats just at the left of the en- trance and commanding a good view not only of the speaker’s stand, but of the whole hall. Curicusly enaugh, the seats were empty. - The people com- ing in from the crush outside were hurrying‘as fast as they could toward the floor seats in the body of the hall. The usher who had spoken so im- pertinently stood directly in front of the little gate-like entrance leading to the section of Teserved seats. As Dr. Pettit and I started for the seats he stepped back and spread his arms, warding us away. “Can’t go in there,” he growled, “go on down in the middle of the' hall ‘where the rest of them are.” “What's the reason?” Dr. Pettit commanded. “I thought you said there were no reserved seats any more.” “Don’t give me any of your 1ip,” the | vouth repeated; ‘ tell you you can’t go in there.” Dr. Petth reachel out a sinewy hand, grabbed the vouth by the collar, and with a quick motion spun him around and gave him a shove which almost sent him on his face. Before the lad could recover himself the phyaician had seized my arm and hurried me into the topmost row of the section of raised seats. I saw the boy svhirl around and start toward us; then, as he saw many other peqple following our example, trooping into the section that we had already invaded, he scratched his head in bewildered fashion, shrugged his shoulders and turned again to his work. “Why do you suppose he was so determined we should’ not come up here?” I asked. *‘Oh a dozen reasons,” Dr. Pettit re- Joined, lightly.: “He may havq been instructed to’ hold, them for ' some political club; he may have wanted simply to display his petty authority, | or—why warry about the workings of such an apology for a brain as is possessed by the youth we have just encountered. Just watch this crowd; worth seeing, isn’t it?” It was indeed a sight worth - re- cording in one’s memory. From every entrance men and women were pour- ing.into the hall as if they were upon the crest of a steady, resistiess flood. A ‘Surging Mob. There was an open space, extending from the speaker’s stand clear across the hall, which was free of chairs. Into this went the more -enthusiastic of the crowd, and in an incredibly |short time it was packed -as closely as an experienced employe of a sar- dine canning factory could have done f{t, The rest of the chair space on the lower floor wes also quickly filled, and then the crowd started for the tiers 'of gallery seats which surrougded the i qfltn auditorium, I supposé it-really was a longer time, but it seemed only two or three minutes before every seat in the balcony and figor of the immense hall was filled and people, in deflance of all fire regulations, were packed in| the open space between the doar and the seats. Then the ingress of people cuud suddenly. “They have. el,;.d the doors,” re- mlrked Dr, Pettit, “and high time, too. Wonder where they’ll hold the overfiow meetings. There must be 20,000 people shut out.” I did not'want to appear nervous, but a very real fear at my heart made me put a tremulous question to my companion. “Suppose a fire should break out, ‘wouldn’t there be a terrible panic here?” Before -n!werlnx he turned and swept with a practical eye the gallery back of us, and a small, round en- closed space just above us at the right in which a band of musicians were stationed. When Dicky Appeared. “Yes, no doubt there would,” he Te- turned, “but there need be no danger for us. tI would be no task at all for us to scramble up into the band stand, and from there it is’ but a step to an exit. We could be out of the build- ing in a jifty.” ~ Reassured, and at the same time scoring myself mentally for my sel- fishness in being relieved at my own immunity from peril, when it might come so near to the others in the hall, I turned my attention to the brilliant, shifting, kaleidoscope of color and light before me. The vast auditorjum was .ablaze with light, glowing with flags and hanners. From the center of the great domed ceiling to every post supporting’ the galleries were strung lines of American flags swaying gently in the faint breese. The speaker’s stand, the musicians’ stand, the railings of the balcony, every possible place was swathed with tri-colored bunting. It was a scene never to be forgotten, and I sat re- velling in it. ° There were a few people in the speaker’s stand who kept standing up and looking toward the rear as if in expectation of some one coming. “They’re 100king for the President's party,” said Dr. Pettit. “Want to see them ?' He took a pair of field glasses from his pocket, and after adjusting them, leaned toward me and put them in my hands. As he did so his hands touched mine and our faces, of cot-u. ‘were close together. At this moment my eyes fell upon a man who was rushing wildly about the lower floor, gazing up at the occu- pants of the ralsed seats. His eyes met mine just as my hands and those of Dr. Pettit met in the transfer of the field glasses. It was Dicky! CAMBRIDGE’'S SHARE.
