Mr. McCarthy received a de- spateh from Mr. Morton, of the Palace ‘Theatre, London, setting forth the no- bie fact that Miss Loftus could op there at once. He also received a mes- sage from Mr, Tennant, of the Empire, bearing the same precious tidings. Miss Cissy smiled at both cables, She is anxious to conquer America, and her heart and soul are at present in that undertaking. Her husband ts still work- ing hard for Mr. Daly, who has treated Miss Cissy very nicely, He released her from her contract in the most graceful manner. Miss Loftus expected to head one of his companies, but as his two organizations are now merged into one the little lady felt very much perplexed. for she didn't want to play second fi die to anybody—even to Miss Adu Re- han.

One gentleman thought the spanking should be done by machinery. Whether his idea was to save respectable floggers from contact with the wretched crea- tures who beat their wives or to insert @ man in the slot of an active machine wound up for twenty-five, fifty or one hundred spanks, and let him take his punishment unheard and unseen, is not known. He may have thought, too, that there would be so many men to spank that manual effort couldn't keep up with the demand for spankings; and perhaps, too, he was thinking of the women who slug their husbands, and who would, of course, come under the spanking law ; Paddjing a la Brockway, though, ts the thing {f reformers in this line want to cure—or kill—the wife-beaters.
