But from cascade of favcurable cpening critiâ€" clams ‘to an empty house ten nights later is no far cry in the mcodern theatre world, and that was the fate of this particular play, as of many another.

The reâ€" mainder of her guests followed as gullâ€" ibly, and she imparted the news to Corrie made her second! call, and came‘ back to gather more information. There was leisure now to give it, for a few minu‘tes must pass before the auxiliary could.arrive. She was told in a very few words. "Simon was here lamentmg his dead play. You heard him? He saysâ€"â€"and it must be trueâ€"that no box was filled last Thursday. â€" I blames myself for not confirmingz everything to do with that very‘attractive American girl, but I was satisfiedâ€"I adimit it.

Unless," she added stranigely, "it is that I‘m getting old." Corric was in red, a vivid creature, pa‘nted to more than her usual flamâ€" boyance. She had enjoyed ‘her evening her company, and was in no mocd for sericus maiters; but when her grandmothéer tock her by the arm, and said in a low veice: "Get that American girl on the ‘phone, quick!" she did take instant notice.

Corrie departed. ‘Her 2randmother‘s was the administrative brain, and there was n other in ithe clique to match it; the fact that they all recogâ€" nized as much had been their safety and hers for eighteen months.

"What happened? Doesn‘t the old girl think we‘re capable of carrying 4 cff?2" lane there, im the shadow of the hedge." Graham fell silent, and they stood straining their eyes and ears. There was someone there, certainly; but the someâ€" one was as ‘well aware of their kncowâ€" ledge of his presence as they were of his stealthy approach. iEven now that htwyhadspdtmedhkn.ittwasmxpowble to keep him in sight, so dark was the nisht, and so sliently did he move.

When thare is a history cf repsaited sore thrcat, loss of appetite and energy, digestive disturbances, bronchitis, raâ€" tarrhal middle ear complications and enlargement of the glands of the neck, it is considered wise to remove tonsils.
