Her concern for her daughter was further expressed in the chowe words: “This will ruin her social position.” Mothor she confessed: “Unfortunately, Once more as a Tama woman.” She was too funny for any further worde—a mother as Owen Davis made her. A four-handed quarrel made the young lovers amusing. Still more Snmising was the scene in which a willing co-reapondent threw herself into the arms of the husband nobly bent on divorcee. But this sort of “evi- dence” will not stand the test of daylight in a country house, though it has & gilded room. Even the Hattons, who have mado a specialty of Long Asland week-end plays, must have laughed in their sleeves at the prepos- ferous business conducted by Mr. Davis.
