LENT CLOSE AT HAND
(ANNUAL FORTY-DAY ECLIPSE OF
SOCIAL GAIETY BEGINS
TOMORROW '
REST AND RECUPERATION
Days of Abstemiousness Will Be Ap
preciated by Those Inclined to
Embonpoint All Ready for
Federation Breakfast.
Lent which begins tomorrow, will put
a period to the social history of the sea
son 3201-1902. Originally, these forty days
were days of fasting and " prayer,
sackcloth and ashes. In these modern
times, however, they have come to be
regarded as forty convenient days for
looking after spring and summer ward
robes; for repairing the wear and tear
that the demands of the season have
made upon the complexion; for visiting
more summer lands'" and storing up
strength for the summer campaigns. So
ciety may not regard Lent is a religious
light, but it does admit the wisdom of
putting aside forty days in the year for
rest and recuperation. And even for the
society woman who is not a church
woman these forty days mean a period
J of abstemiousness—particularly if she is
* Inclined to embonpoint. For this latter
affliction St. Paul women seem appar
ently to have come to one conclusion, and
that is that nothing is so efficacious for
warding off corpulency as going with
out one's breakfast. A number of women
arc practicing this bit erf self-denial, and
all claim that they feel the better for it.
"1 drink a cup of black coffee in the
morning," said one woman the other day
after she had lamented the possession of
much "too, too solid flesh," "but I do
not eat anything, not even fruit, until
1 o'clock, when I have luncheon. I shall
keep this up during Lent, and I trust
that by that time I shall have lost many
superfluous pounds."
In view of the fact that the annual
breakfast of the Minnesota Federation
of Women's clubs is to be held tomor
row, it would seem as if Lent were to
be ushered in rather gayly for Minnesota
wemen, but the general protest made by
clubwomen, who are church women, will
surely prevent the establishment of any
precedent for holding the midwinter
meeting of the federated clubs in Lent.
It is understood that Mrs. C. A. Dibble,
Of St. Paul, who was asked to introduce
the newly elected president, Mrs. La
Penotlere, at the breakfast, declined to
do so because she is a strict church
woman. Mrs. C. P. Noyes, of the New
Century club, was chosen to act in her
place, but Mrs. Noyes was called out of
town, so the pleasant task has fallen to
Mrs. T. T. Smith, also a St. Paul
woman.
MOZART CLUB MASQUERADE.
Novel ries Que Effects Brightened
a Good Entertainment.
Creatore himself would have smiled
could he have been present at the an
nual masquerade ball given last night at
Mozart hall by the Mozart club and seen
the caricature of himself. One of the
best features of last evening's entertain
ment was a gipsy band of twenty-five
pieces, directed by ludicrous exaggeration
of Creatore, the director of Ellerys
Italian band. The impersonater, Charles
Eve, a very short man, dressed In a coat
with tails which nearly reached the floor,
a collar that enveloped his neck like a
board fence and possessed of arms fully
six feet long, literally reached over and
threatened to entirely wipe off the earth
the band closely huddled under his vio
lently gesticulating arms. While Mr. Eve
in no particular resembled the original
Creatore, even in his costume, yet any
one who had ever seen the famous di
rector of the Italian band would have
recognized and appreciated the burlesque.
The gypsy camp was a very pretty
feature of the evening's programme.
On the stage, which showed a pretty
camping ground with the tents in the
background, and a gypsy kettle over a
good flre, were fifty men and women in
the picturesque costumes of gypsies. The
color effect was strikingly brilliant. The
women wore tinseled crepe skirts and
suave jackets of contrasting colors,
scarcely two costumes showing the same
colors, white blouses and bright handker
chiefs pinned in their hair. The men
wore black velvet knee breeches, colored
stockings, white blouses, colored capes
and sashes and wide brimmed sombreros.
Singing a pretty Gipsy melody and danc
ing odd figures about the camp fire, the
effect was truely Bohemian.
<( A pretty scene for the onlooker was the
snow storm" waltz. At 10:30, in the
midst of a waltz, the lights were lowered
and snow in the way of feathers and
paper whirled all over the room from a
pretty bell-shaped affair hanging in the
center of the room. At the same" time
different colored serpentines were thrown
from all sides of the room, and calcium
lights played fitfully upon a scene of a
dreamy waltz.
A banquet was served in the dining
room to fully 300 guests and 1902-0 ball
was pronounced a brilliant success.
The floor committee included F. W
Steeg, Carl Scottl, Fritz Eve, William F.
Bertossi, Ernest Kulo.
The entertainment committee: Martin
Gieson, Emil Fraeger, Adolph Timm.
Arrangement committee: Frank Erling,
Adam Heck, Fritz Eve, P. J. Gieson,

Friday evening. Feb. 21, at Central Pres
byterian church. Mme. Blauvelt's tour
la under the direction of 0. L. Graff,
who has brought to the city Mme*. Lilli
Lehmann this season and some of the
most notable artists of past seasons.
Mme. Blauvelt is by no means a stranger
to St. Paul people; in. fact she has ap
peared here at frequent intervals evef
since she came into prominence as a sin
ger and she has a host of admirers. Since
her last local appearance, however, she
has enjoyed,, some, of her most notable
triumphs and her art has ripened and
broadened. Last spring she took part
in two memorial services for Queen Vic
toria, one given at Manchester by the
Halle orchestra, directed by -Hans. Ricb
ter, and the other at Queen's hall, Lon
don. 77 *
But a year or two before the queens
death Mine. Blauvelt sang for he*r at
Windsor and was presented by the queen
with a jeweled monogram medallion. Her
debut in Queen's hall, London, in sym
phony concerts was so successful that
ene was at once commanded to sing at
the first state concert of the season, be
fore the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Her popularity continues to grow in Lon
don and she returns there in the spring
to open the great May festival. During
the coronation festivities Mme. Blauvelt
will appear every week in a series of re
citals with Vsaye, Becker and Busoni.
In the autumn she has been engaged for
the great British festivals, among which
are the Norwich festival and the famous
Welsh festival at Cardiff. These en
gagements will be followed by a tour of
England and Scotland.
Choral Club's Concert.
Miss Sara Anderson, the soprano solo
ist who sings tomorrow night with the
St. Paul Choral club at their second con
cert at the Central Presbyterian church,
arrived in St. Paul yesterday. The final
rehearsal with the soloists for the con
cert will be held at the Central Presby
terian church from 11:45 until 1 o'clock
today. The sale of seats has been most
favorable and assures for tomorrow
evening's performance a large audience.
Hamline O O'clock Club.
The Hamline Six O'clock club will not
meet until Feb. 24, when the Hon. Hiram
F. Stevens will deliver an oration on
"Washington."
SWEET DESSERTS.
By Parker Quincy Adams, Copyright 1902.
In no direction has cookery auvanced
more rapidly than in the preparation of
sweet dishes for desserts. Under -.ie
general head of souffles, there are al
most innumerable dishes, and even sweet
omelets are now recognized as worthy
of attention.
A delicate combination, properly de
scribed as a souffle float, is made as fol
lows: Beat the whites of eggs until very
stiff, adding then one-half teaspoon of
sifted powdered sugar for each egg. Heap
these beaten and sweetened whites into
small flat-bottomed cups and stand in a
covered steamer over boiling water long
enough to cook them. When done, turn
from the cups gently, scoop out one tea
spoon from tne top of each white mound,
fill with a rich custard made from the
yolks of eggs and pour more custard
around the base. Whites cooked in this
way do not fall, so this dessert Is pe
culiarly fitted for serving cold. I prefer
an orange flavoring for the cus-ard.
Here is andner oainty but simple sweet
souffle: Melt two tablespoons of. butter
in a double boiler, add two tablespoons
of flour and blend well. Now add one
cupful of milk and stir until the mixture
thickens. Have ready the yolks of four
eggs and tour tablespoons of sugar beat
en thick until light; add this to the mix
ture in the boiler, also the grated yellow
rind from an orange and one-half salt
spoonful of salt. Cook ten minutes, or
until the yolks have had time to thicken.
Stand away to cool one-half hour before
serving, add the whites of the eggs, beat
en very stiff, fill Into a buttered baking
dish and bake in a moderately hot oven.
Serve wit._ a pudding sauce flavored with
orange. A lemon dessert may be made
in the same way as the orange by sub
stituting that fruit. '„
To make a chocolate souffle, melt one
tablespoon of butter in a "double boiler,
blend in two tablespoons of flour, add one
cup of milk and one-half cup of grated
chocolate (melted over steam or on the
back part of the stove), and stir until
smooth and thick. Now add the yolks
of four eggs and one-half . cup of sugar,
beaten together until very light; cook
until the yolks have bad time to thicken,
then stand away to cool. Half an hour
before serving add the whites of five
eggs, beaten until very ■ stiff and dry.
fill into a buttered baking dish and bake.
If you use thin granite ware or tin pans
to Irake in, they should be set In a ves
sel of boiling water, the water reaching
fully half way up the sides of the pan.
If you use a thick, heavy baking dish,
it will not admit of this treatment.
A macaroon dish may be made the
same as the chocolate by adding one
quarter of a round of grated macaroons
instead of the chocolate just before add
ing the beaten whites.
, prunes or any dry cooked fruit, or the
strained pulp of any juicy cooked fruit
may be used in preparing thes.. dishes.
TO WASH HANDKERCHIEFS.
Thf- following -method of laundering
handkerchiefs is highly commendable:
Place six drops of. bluing In; two quarts
of water, add a piece of raw starch the
size of a. filbert and let it dissolve, be
ing careful that none of it settles to the
bottom of the bowl. .The handkerchiefs
having been - washed and dried in the
usual way, dip each one separately in
the .water, moving it about a little 7to
make it thoroughly wet, and squeeze^it
as nearly dry as possible with the hands.
When all have been treated in this way
lay them smoothly In a towel and place
in the clothes basket. To iron them, lay
each one flat oft the board or table, make
a. fold two inches deep across the hand
kerchief, preset In lightly with the iron
and then make another fold across the
first. The handkerchief should then look
exactly as it did "-when purchased..
ST. VALENTINE GAME.
There could be no gayer plan for cele
brating the feast of good Saint Valentine
than an auction sale of hearts. Beyond
suspending a sheet in the center of the
drawing room, in case it is not convenient
to devote tw * rooms to your guests, no
arranging is uecrssary. -,
..« there are? two rooms employed let
the girls of the party all withdraw into
one of these, the men remaining in the
other. . '
The folding doors are closed or partially
drawn, and the girl whose heart is fir.-*t
to be auctioned is decided upon among
themselves. The men are kept in tot*>l
ignorance of the results of this decision.
Some one, who is a clever talker, then
mounts a chair, and, armed with a ham
mer, begins to auction off the heart of
the girl chosen. '
He does not describe her in such a way
that she can be recognized, but dwells
upon ii*:r particular charms. Her wit, if
f*e .is witty; her beauty, if she is beau
tiful; her vivacity, if she is vivacious,
and so on. .
V, ci £ is wares have been sufficiently
extolled he asK_ fir bids. Bids can only
be made by pounds or ounces- 'etcetera)
ot love, the man who would li'.o lo c.m
ture the neart offering no many poinds
or ounces for. It: This bidding continues
for about a minute, the heart going to th*.
nigncst biotcr.
As soon as the purchaser has been de
cided upon the man who wins is led ii to
the adjoining room and presented to the
lady whose heart he has won. The men
who were not purchasers remain in the
outer room and do not lea the identity
of the lady whose heart they failed to
carry off. .
Another heart is now proposed by the
auctioneer, and her charms described
This also goes to the man who bids high
est, who is promptly* admitted to her so
ciety. ... -.
The game continues until all the hearts
"ft v -been disposed? of, when, of course,
muhe young people will be together.
Ihe man who purchased and the girl
whose heart has been won become part
ners for the games-of the evening.
SOME PRETTY VALENTINES.
„2-f-?. are more valentines. Certainly
valentines are most attractive this year.
They are the prettiest little ones imag
inable for a cent. These are cards in the
f^-T" 1 °f small hearts, upon some of them
little Kate Greenway figures, upon others
single heads, but all very dainty arid
pretty. There are larger hearts of the
same style which are 2 cents, but not
half as attractive as the smaller ones.
An odd little valentine Is In the form of
a locket made of -cards and decorated in
the usual way, but having considerable
depth. Upon opening it one finds a douoie
beat and the picture. of a youth. These
costs 10 cents each.
It is a great heart year. There have
been hearts in everything, for some time,
and It is a poor girl who has not a heart
of some kind in her possession- in a bit
of jewelry, This popularity of hearts is
noticeable in valentines which have never
run so much into heart shapes ns this
year. In hearts of a large size are cards
at 5 cents each, which have the usual
decorations upon them with appropriate
text and on the outer edge a string of
little hearts. From these small hearts the
sizes increase up to an enormous red
heart covered with crimped paper and
with a big silver arrow piercing it. The
paper is arranged on the big heart,
which must be at least half a yard in
length, to make pockets, and it Is evi
dently Intended for a letter holder or
something of the kino. This is a valentine
which shows a large and warm heart in
the sender.
Attractive affairs in the way of inex
pensive valentines are similar to the
cards and sketches of different kinds
which have been popular within the last
year or so. They are of the style of the
little eunbonnet girl and her companion
and contemporary, the overall boy, who
have figured In so many ways and for so
many purposes. For the valentines there
are a number of reproductions of figures
in colors in this line, some a3 good, many
less satisfactory, but all with more or
less merit. These come - on. gray and
black cards, those -of medium size cost
ing 15 cents each. They are certainly in
finitely better than many things which
go by the name'of valentine. One little
sunbonnet girl, who with a pair of bel
lows is blowing upon a heart, is supposed
to say: "Cold* hearts must be warmed,
and I'm helping thee." __
In the realistic valentines there are lit
tle couples of different nationalities, little
doll creatures, which are good of their
kind, mounted upon cards with appro
priate words. "For instance, with one
pair of little negroes are the words: "Be
cause you make those goo-goo eyes."
APPETIZING DISHES.
Corned beef is sometimes very go •*■.-.,
though it is much oftener not so good.
The only sure way of having the kind of
corned beef that is desirable is to pick
out the pieces of meat and have it corn
ed. In cooking, it must first be put into
cold water and allowed to come slowly
to the boil, then simmered till tender.
Meat that is boiled rapidly is bound t >
be tough. Having lt correctly cookel,
there are several good mixed dishes that
may be made from it.
For one, put a layer of sliced potato
into a baking dish, add a layer of sliced
onion and season with salt and pepper,
■*-*ar:-.r.g the amount of salt with all due
reference to the saltiness of the heef, a
layer of which, sliced, should hi added.
Put in more potatoes, more onions and
more of the meat, sprinkling a litt'j f10..r
over each layer of the beef. Whei the
dish is full add some dots of butter, pour
in boiling water and bake.
Another way to vary corned '.eef, plain,
Is to ccok together two tablesuoonfuls
of butter, three tablespoonfuls flour and
season with cayenne, salt and the juice
of one-half lemon. Heat one semt put
of milk, to which has been added a bit
of onion and a sprig of parsley. When
seald.ng remove the onion and flow, -and
BIT the milk into the butter and ..our,
making thus a smooth white sauce. Have
the meat cut into small neat~p!eces and
add. Turn into small individual -.i.-hes,
sprinkle seasoned crumbs over the top of
each and brown in the oven.

"I am tired .of entertaining bachelors
who don't dance, won't talk and - actu
ally go to sleep ,s. hen. I invite them to
the opera," said hn energetic " society
woman the other day. "J invite them to',
them to task the other.day.- He is good
looking, eligible and amiable, ■ but the
laziest man that ever refused to 1 dance a
cotillon. -
" 'Algernon,' I said to him, 'don't you
know that every one in , the world is sup
posed to earn his living? Your object in
life Is pleasure, but you don't work even
for that. You are asked to ; dinner . and '■
you don't try to be wittyior funny or
even entertaining. You - just _g eat and

that; strikes your • sense |of humor. You
go to -dances,: but -you -* would- allow the
. room to ' be; full of ; wallflowers before you
would consent to dance, unless your
hostess expressly requested you to do
so. .Now, is that courtesy, or gratitude,
or manners? You know it isn't, as well
as I do. Maybe you think you're so at
tractive that people ask you out Just to
lcok at you. Well,' they don't.. They
' ask you because you are a bachelor, and
they are in hopes you will marry soma*
' one. It's my duty and every woman's
duty to make bachelors marry. You are
a social deadhead, my dear Algernon,
and most of your friends are just like
you, only worse.'
"And after that tirade, what do you
think he said?" demanded the woman in
dignantly. "He just remarked quietly:
" 'Then there's no alternative, if I un
derstand your meaning. It's "be enter
taining or" marr"y." In other words, pay
your fine or go to prison.'
"Conceited creature! I could have an
nihilated him!" _.
ALL-LACE FROCK.
, The all-lace frock has by no means
departed. Some of the gowns of this de
scription deserve the adjective of splen
did. The underskirt consists of endless
flounces of accordion-plaited chiffon, the
over-drapery of the lace being ofttimeS
mingled with mink or sable. The mixture
of lace chiffon and fur is an effective and
fashionable one for evening wear, says
the Philadelphia Times.
On the white satin and lace gowns
hand-painting or embroidery is frequent
ly applied, more often in the design of
roses than anything else. Indeed, the rose
is decidedly the most popular blossom
in floral garniture, ink roses nestle in
the soft ruches at the hem of evening
gowns of the airy, fairy kind. A pretty
idea is a white tulle dress Ith "checked
pattern formed in roses on the bodice
and above the double flounces of the
skirt. Such roses are frequently made
glistening with dewdrops and a touch
of pink or blue figures in the waistband.
The soft materials scattered over with
rose leaves are daintily picturesque.
Many picture frocks of the empire ord
er are seen, but in some of the latest
we seem to be treading in the footsteps
of the beautiful Marie Antoinette and
the ill-fated Princesse de Lambelle, par
ticularly in elbow sleeves and soft fichus.
LOOK AT POLLY!
The croakers' croaking-? but confess
The crowd wherein they .mingle;
One says that women marry less,
Because his sister's single.
Another cries that woman grows
Cold, hard (his sweetheart may be!)
Averse to children. That just shows!
Why, Polly loves a baby.
They say In sport she finds her fun,
She's manny and audacious;
Why, Polly wouldn't touch a gun.
And at a mouse—good gracious!
They find a freaky girl or two,
And generalize her folly,
Pretefiding its the modern view.
Such nonsense! Look at Polly!
IN THE SHOPS.
Some of the newest light gloves are em
broidered with gold and silver threads.
Huge collars decorated en the inside
with grilled cream lace, and continued
down the front in a jabot or ties like a
scarf. These are extremely becoming.
This decoration is also used on pockets

The girl petted a brown curl into place
back of her ear and looked about her.
\ Two seats ahead the manager, a fat,
overdressed man, lolled on the hard seat
of the day coach. One of his arms was
thrown over the ample shoulders of his
wife, ditto as to fat and over-dressing,
and the other thick-fingered hand was
on his watch. Ahead of them, two in a
seat, were the twelve chorus girls.
Across the aisle one of the comedians
sprawled in his seat, bright blue sock
showing above his tanned shoes that
had been newly soled. Back of her was
another comedian asleep, and on the
double seat in front of her Frank Raw
lins sat wide-eyed.
After she had looked at the tired faces
streaked with make-up which there had
not been time enough last night to re
move, she liked to let her eyes rest on
Raw-ins fresh face. He was such a
boy to be in a burlesque show. It seem
ed that his freshness and youth made
all the more glaring the paint and wrink
les on the faces of the others and that
his carefully kept clothes made their
shabbiness an affront to the eye.
"Sleep well, sis?" he. asked.
"Not very," she answered. "The train
rocked too dreadfully during the night."
"You'll get used to it," he said, with
comfort in his voice.
He pointed to the worn-out young
women who were sleeping ahead.
'But it's hard, isn't it?" she asked,
timidly. , ' -
"For some time," he said, and resumed
his occupation of looking out of the.win
dow. - " c - 7
"What -makes you stick to . it?" she
asked, determined not to let this chance
of talking to - him go. by.
"Money, or, rather, lack of money. The
only thing I can do is sing. There are
too many singers in New York and not
enough in the country. That's why I
am in the olio of the Happy Hazard Bur
lesque company, at the princely salary of
$20 a week and my board."
"Twenty? I'm only getting ten."
"That's .because managers can find
chorus people anywhere. It isn't so easy
to pick up good singers, who can go on
in the opening burlesque as a tramp
and in the afterpiece as a noble lord just
off his yacht to spend money. What got
you into the business?" -
"Hard luck," she said briefly. , .
"Too hard to talk about?" '
"Yes." . - - :.*->.- yyyy
."You haven't learned how to put the
make-up on," he said, looking at her face
critically. "You've got too much rouge
on your cheeks and not enough black
.under your efea. Rlack there makes them
sparkle and shine, and the 'rubes' always
like that." ■'•■'■■■** '•-.;,

NICE HISBAXDS, THESE.
Americans have not the . reputation of
Europeans for gallant speeches, yet there
are many occasions when they earn the
envy of the people who are more given
to saying pretty things. At a recent
private dinner at which Seth Low and
his wife were guests one of the diners
said to the new mayor:
"You must be proud to be the husband
of the first lady in New York."
"I am proud," said the mayor gallant
ly, as he glanced tenderly at his wife,
"to be the husband of Mrs. Low."
On a similar occasion recently the
American ambassador to the Court of St.
James paid a graceful compliment to his
wife.
It was an informal dinner, at which the
guests were intimate friends. Someone

"I've been in the business only three
weeks. Where are you going to stop at
in Newham?"
"I'll leave it to Sol. Every manager
knows a good hotel in every town. Poor
comedians often make mistakes. I was
thinking of the Grand. That's the one
he was talking about after the show last
night."
"The Windsor is better. I ought to
know, for I used to live in Newham."
The train was pulling into the station.
The company awoke. Some grabbed
hand satchels, holding their make-up
boxes. Others pulled their banjo cases
from under the seats and got into wrin
kled overcoats and raglans. The manager
checked off the names on h's fingers.
"All here," he said. "We stop at the
Grand."
11l carry your stuff up," said Raw.in
to the girl. "You look tired." They walk
ed up the silent, cheerless morning street
together.
"You'll let me call you 'Frank,' won't
you? she asked, as they trudged up the
hill past the gaudy billboards that ad
vertised them as part of a "glittering.

"You dnt have to say it unless you

"Lots of girls get Into burlesque cho

She* was not touching him and she knew
that she mast. She knew that in that
little town there was not a friendly face
for her. She wanted none in the com
pany except him. She tried again.
"I could have been riding in that car

"Follish to give it up. - Trouping's no

"Trouping's honest." * 7
"I've seen a Jot cf it that wasn't."
"If could have , done any better I
wouldn't be in it. But I couldn't. If
New York is no place for a singer. Frank,
it's no place for a raw chorus girl."
"Couldn't you break into any of the
Broadway shows? You've got a good face
and a good figure and yo;* don't booze."
She shrunk a little from the last worl, '
but he did not see it. He would not have
noticed if he had. No girl he knew shrunk
from the word booze or what it stood for.
"I couldn't catch on any place except
with this show," she said. "It was this""

He was getting Interested in her. She
was new to him.
"What made you leave this town?" h**
asked. "This seems to be a pretty good
sort of place."
"Because a man drove me out of it. Tils
father owns the. bank here. You can't
imagine how big a man is in a jay town
when his father owns the bank."
"You didn't owe him anything?"
"He wanted to own me. When I told
him to go he said he'd ruin me. He
talked and people believed him. When
I made up my mind to go to New York
and earn my own living he took me to
the station in his carriage. I didn't find
out till afterwards that he was showing
me off and that after I was gone he lied
about me. He'said .
"I don't want to know what he said
I krow what that kind of a man can
say." ' .--" - :'-.'''■.-. '■..--

DRAWING PUZZLE.
fellow in that company and that thS*
good fellow had strong fists.
The girl remained in her room till the
time for the company to go to the thea-'
ter. She went with Frank. At the end
of the first act she came to him, her
face white to the lips.
"He's out in front," she said. "He's
seen me and recognized me and wants'
me to meet him after the show. I know
what it means, Frank. I know that it
means that I won't have to troupe any,
more. I'll have a carriage of mv own,'
Frank, and I'll stay in this town to show
pec pie that I have grit."
"You're crazy." _
"I'm so tired of-this riding around and
dressing in dirty rooms and wearing
those things and being sworn at and
having no one care for me. I can slay
here and be a lady. I'm going to stay."
"Dike hell."
When the curtain went down and the
company was dressing, the boy looked
for the girl and could not find her. Tho
manager found that she was the only
one who was missing. The 'bus was
waiting outside. The curses of the man
ager and his wife, the star, filled the
dingy little stage.
"I'll fine that girl $10 for this," said
the manager.
"You'd better fine Rawlin, too," said
his wife. "He's gone."
The company climbed into the bus and
was driven to the station. The train
pulled in. They began to get aboard.
The manager said something to the sta
tion agent about having two missing
members of his company join him at the
next town, and something to he com
pany about heavy fines for tardiness.
The conductor waved his nand, the en
gineer put his hand on the throttle.
Slowly, ponderously the train began to
pull out. °
-Then there was a swish of skirts on
the platform, a cry of jump on quick."
and Frank Rawlin and the new chorus
girl threw themselves on the last plat
form. When they got into the car where
the company was the manager was still
in a profane mood.
"Where" ye you "been?" he asked.
Nice business, this jumping out just
before train time. I didn't know I got
my p_ople from an insane asylum."
Rawlin thereupon broke all the
rules that obtain in all good companies.
He swore roundly at the manager.
.After he had exhausted his ; vocabulary,
and that took time, he said that he
and the girl walked to the depot, which
was the reason that made them late.
Then he said to the girl, who was
crying softly:.
R "Remember you told. me not to let that
fellow speak to you. I hope that last
smash I gave him on the jaw broke his
face. ! •: __ . -*■
