Welcoming the Actor.

A well-known society performer volunteered ,to entertain a roomful of patients of a lunatic asylum, and made up a very successful little monologue show, entirely humorous. The audience in the main gave symptoms of being slightly bored, but one high-, ly intelligent maniac saw the whole thing in proper light and, clapping the talented actor on the shoulder, said: “Glad you’ve come, old fellow. You and I will get along fine. The other dippies here are ? so dashed dignified. What I say is if a man is mad he put on airs about it!”—London Opinion.
