They were @ tit strange to us, but not un- interestin; We could at least appre ciate the “artistic temperament” and sympathize with the actress who found herself growing « trifle “wtaie” in her unchanging role of wife Then, too, it was a novelty to see the actor turning muardeman to test the faithfulness of his pretty wife It ten't every man who can do that, of course, when he's ie uncertain of his popularity at home.

But the ways of woman are past all understanding, Qnd by protesting her unfaltering love this one made the actor believe that what haa happened hadn't happened at all.
