Mrs, James Drown Potter promised to her husband just before her debut as a professional actress that she wouid never allow her mimic lovers of the stage to kiss her, That is what her acquaintances in society say and the story is circumstantially proven before ber audleoces, In the first play In which she was a heroine the courtship did not result in marriage, nor even in a sentimental surrender, and so the absence of kissing did not attract much attention. But it was different in the ensuing piece, There she was the intensely beloved wife of the hero, and al the outset they were represented as meeting after months of separation. They rushed at each other, as husband and wife might naturally be expected to; they embraced affectionately; they held passionate discourses for a quarter of an hour and then they reluctantly parted again, but neither in the greet- ing nor the good-bye was a kiss ex- changed. Mrs, Polter permitted a hug and a few caresses, but the lips of her supposed husband never touched her face. It was curious to observe how quickly the audience, even to the least sophisticated, took note of the lack of the reasonable action. The Baronets Bargain.

On the faithtiul Thursday the Baronet sat in his study all day, in feverish anxiety for rews that the marriage was an accom plished fact, As the day wore on, and no news was heard, he rang the bell and asked the footman whether the butler had” returned. “No sir,” was the reply, “But he took the check for £2009 “Yes, sir, and please, sir, he's took all the contents of the plate chest as well.” “Ah, that’s a bad job; but at any rate he has married Molly, the housemald?'’ “Oh, yes, sir, He's married Molly. But please, sir, he mentioned as ‘ow he’d got a wife and six children in the North of England.” ———— ss MAS A Sea Flower.
