—— LOVE'S GARD. This is one of the new songs Yvette Guilbert sings: HEN I go into the garden, W Into Love's Garden fair, The tygtle-dove, rhich croons ‘ of love, JBays, ‘Little maid, beware, Beware the spells of eventide, Of moon, and stars, and—much be- , aide,” ‘When I go into the gurden, Into Love's Garden fair. When I go into the garden, Into Love's Garden fair, Rosebushes tail are whisp'ring all, “Nay, do not fear, the risk is small.” ‘Be not afraid,” now croons the dove, “The world were too well lost for love,” When I go into the garden, Into Love's Garden fair. When I go into the garden, Into Love’s Garden fair, A step I hear, and blench with fear, And he—I know that he is near! ‘Phen would I fly, and yet remain, Each heartbeat gives me such sweet pain, When I go into the garden, ‘Into Love's Garden fair.

I won't say that the new Guilbert is “fair, fat and forty.” Say, rather, that she is plump, pleasing and pros- | perous. The rounded lines of her by no means bad figure were faithfully followed by a dress of blue silk and a coat of creamy lace, Her brown eyes lighted up the dead white of her face as she said: “Well, I am back, you see!” “What has kept you away so long?” I asked. “The sea,” she said in a tragic oh, so vairy much afraid!

No. Eleven pounds more, that is all.” I’m not very good at figures, but these did strike me as a trifle incor- rect. Madame put her chin in her hands and watched me narrowly for a moment. Perhaps she saw a trace of doubt, for she explained: “Before, I was not in my regular —what you say?—ob, yes, that is it—form. I was sick—oh, so sick, from that wicked sea!
