—— a Ss and Gossip The E vening World Comics Good Evening! By BIDE When Julia stops a trolley car, It's quite a sight to see, She takes her stand beside the track So cool and carelessly. She bows 10 Jones, she smiles at Smith, Most pleasantly, indeed, And though the car be coming fast, She pays it little heed As it draws near, fair Julia turns And almost has a fit, Her parasol she wildly shakes, Her arms she waves at it. The car slows up, she steps aboard When finaily it stops, Then snorts: ‘What ails that mo- torman?” As in a seat she flops. OBSERVATIONS. Prof. Charles Rociet of Paris says all ghosts are dumb.

One was undoubtedly a soctety leader from Riverside Drive, New York, because he wore white socks. The other was older and complained of gout. “Ouca! My foot hurts,” he waid. But the younger man rushed to Nell. “TI have found you, my dear,” he said, Black Bart clouded up. “Who is this city feller?” he asked. “I am Reginala De Lancey,” eame the reply, in a high, soctety voice.

OUT OF IT— \UPID may have a right to run Cc rampant through the affections of human beings, but has he— Arch Selwyn asks--has he a ‘right to kick holes in a theatrical production’? The story is this: Adele Rolland, the Hattie in ‘*Part- ners Again,” went to Rochester Tues- @ay and mayried Clarence Levy. The Selwyns say she did not notify them of her plan and, as a result, they made no preparations to fill the Hat- tie role Tuesday night. When Miss Rolland had not arrived at 8 o'clock. the understudy, Babe Born, was told to make-up. At curtain time no Miss Rolland had appeared, so Miss Born went on and played the role very creditably. The news of the marriage reached Arch Selwyn yesterday and maybe he wasn't mad, He tmmedi- ately assigned the role to Clara Moores, who handled it last night and will remain in it for two weeks. After that, she will join a “Circle” company and another girl—not Miss Rolland—will be Hattie “Miss Rolland has as role—that of Mrs. Lev Selwyn last night. “Let her keep it She can't be Hattle in this troupe any more.” PEMBERTON’S FIRST.
