In a city bookstore the other day a prosperous-looking gentleman was turning over the books in such a visible state of dejection that another man asked him what was the matter. "Oh," he replied, "all men are Just natural-born blunderbusses where women are concerned and I freely admit that I'm one of the worst of the lot. I'm waiting to see if a man I know happens in here; If he doesn't I shall have to buy a young lady a 13 book blame It all. "Before Christmas I met the other man in here and he asked me to help him buy Miss Theodosia a nice book a $5 book. Then I blundered In, as usual, and told him not to buy her a book, because she had such an awful lot of books already to buy her a picture, or a handsome piece of bric-a-brac. Well, he took my advice and went off and sent her a picture the kind of etching or whatever it was that she doesn't care for at all. She happened to speak of It at my house and to wonder how it happened; so I had to blunder again and confess that my bad advice was behind the transaction. My wife, assisted by Miss Theodosia, read me a long lecture on the beauty of minding my own business, and I'm here right now with instructions to find that other man and make him send up the book In exchange for the picture. If I don't do that I'm to buy Miss Theodosia a nice ö book and take the picture myself. Rather hard lines for me, don't you think?" "No." said the other man cheerfully, "it serves you right."

If It is an old thimble that you have had around the house for a long time, and which you would not exchange for a dozen new ones, suspect her all the more. It is the fad in New York now to collect thimbles. Like all fads. It will probably run for a year before women and girls who get the thimble habit tire of it. Furthermore, It is the vogue to appropriate your friend's thimble if you cannot get it in any other way. You can atone for it by making a little present to her. Women are as chary of presenting their old thimbles as men are of giving away pipes that have comforted them in weary hours. But thimbles must be collected somehow. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbllt Is said to have the best collection of thimbles in New York, but with her It has bee n a labor of years. One of her thimbles originally adorned tbe finger of Wueen Elizabeth Of England. She has one that belonged to Queen Victoria, and one from the former Princess of Wales, now Queen Alexandra. The Ways of "Women. Philadelphia Record. "That's the limit." remarked a Dock street dealer in oranges. "I thought I had my wisdom teeth cut, but it seems I've still a lot to learn. It was this way. An engaging woman, whom I just know to speak to. came In here and told me a most appealing tale of woe jbut some charity with which she is connected, which is just now in the throes of a bazaar or supper. At the proper moment she sprang her need uin me, and declared it was up to me to donate a box of oranges. Resolving to do the liberal. I told her to take her pick and I'd Bead them up. She chose the finest to be found in the place, and I, having followed with a tag. upon which was my business j card, was in the act f attaching it. when j she purringly demurred, asking me if it would not be as agreeable to me to tie on Instead a card which she handed me. It was her visiting card, and she had written From' before her name. Now what do you think of that! I shall not advertise In that way in the future." On Good Terms. Philadelphia Post. A friend of mine had a cook in Chicago once with whom the assumption of equality was so tempered by politeness of speech that It became real charm. Mary and her mistress wer.- renl friends. I think that was i the reason the cooking was so good. I I must quote Mary s contribution to the dis- ! cussion. One day. when there was some talk as to what would be a suitable menu for that eveniug's dinner party: " I wish Mrs. X ." said Mary, 'that when you go out to dinner parties you could remember what you have to eat and tell me. I should like to try to ook new things here it" 1 only knew what they were. But you see I go out so little." Here's ti Man for Von. Baltimore American. A man in New York who was arrested for abandoning his wife, and ordered to pay her a week, claimed the wages of $12 a week she was earning as legally his, agreeing to pay her the So out of It. This might not come, morally or scientifically, within the range of the higher mathematics, but it showed a shrewd appreciation of the financial advantage on the side of the peccant husband, and also served as a discouragement to wives not to demand support from tluir husbands when able to support both themselves.

Hawtrey in "The Man from Blankley's 'There was a young man so benighted. He didn't know when he was slighted; He went to a party. And ate just as hearty As if he'd been really Invited." From ' Nonsense Rhymes." A charming entertainment is "The Man from Blankley's." the new comedy by F. Anstey, in which Charles Hawtrey and his company of London players appeared at English's last night before a large and delighted audience. It has been a long time since a modern comedy so original in construction, so clever in dialogue, and so capably interpreted, has been seen in this city. Monday evening local playgoers were treated to a fine performance of old English comedy; last night they were treated to a splendid presentation of modern English comedy. The former was representative of all that was best in the old school; the latter representative of all that Is best in the new. Both plays are comedies of manners and both plays are satirical. There are those who would scoff at the mere mention of Anstey's name in the same breath with Sheridan's, but nevertheless the modern English dramatist has written a play that deserves unusual commendation. It is a bright, cheerful piece, full of human nature j that has been turned to a humorous purpose; it Is bristling with real wit. while it is ouite remarkable in its exposition of types of character. It is true that the types re exaggerated, but they are based firmly Upon reality. Mr. Anstey has evidenced much knowledge of humanity in his latest stage story and, although the fun oftimes touches upon the limits of the grotesque, still it does not follow that the piny is false to the life it purports to reproduce. 4The plot of "The Man from Blankley's" is very slight, but the author has written his play so well that there is never a lapse of interest throughout the three acts, and the climax of the story is cleverly held in reserve until Just before the falling of the final curtain. Briefly sketched, Mr. and Mrs. Montague Tidmarsh, who belong to the commercial middle class of England, give an elaborate dinner in honor o." Mrs. Tidmarsh's rich uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel Gilwattle. The entertainers are superstitious folk, and, finding that there will be thirteen guests at the table, .they send to Blankley's establishment and engage a dinner guest for the occasion. Blankley makes a business of providing such emergency persons at a guinea the evening. As the company is about to go down to the dining room Lord Btarthpaffer appears upon the scene, and is supposed to be the man from Blankley's. As a matter of fact Starthpeffer, who is an amateur sciential, has been Invited to dine with a fellow-scientist whom he has never met, and who Uvea next door to the Tidmarsh's, and in the dense London fog has blundered into the wrong house. Was there ever a more delicious situation in any comedy than this? Such incidents navo been used by playwrights before, of course, but never in so plausible a fashion. At Tidmarsh's Lord Strathpeffer discovers Margery Seaton, an old acquaintance, acting in the capacity of governess. Through the long dinner his lordship, believing himself to be in the house of the scientist, strives to be agreeable, and Mrs. Tidmarsh, believing him to be nothing more than her hired guest, treats him as a servant. The complications are unusually amusing. Finally, when the tangle is In an almost hopeless state, the identity of Lord Strathpeffer is proved, to the amazement of the hostess, and the little love story of the play for the nobleman has been very much in love with Miss Seaton is brought to a happy termination. 4The play's first act takes place in the drawing room of the Tidmarsh house in Ledbury square, wherein assembles the strange company of dinner guests. The second act occurrs in the dining room. A large, round dining table, perfectly appointor, is In the center of the sage, and through the entire scene the characters sit at this table and eat what seems to be a real dinner of several courses. There is scarcely any action, and yet the interest of the audience is held because of the immensely amusing situation and the brightness of the dialogue. The third and last act occurrs in the drawing room. A curious feature of the play is that its entire action takes place In exactly the time covered by the performance. There is just one flaw in the piece and only one. But it is a flaw that could scarcely be avoided. The audience hears conversations between some of the guests at the table that are presumably not heard by the other quests. According to the old school of play-writing, this expedient is perfectly permissible. But it seems out of keeping with the realism of the rest of Mr. Anstey's comedy. The comedy is so good on the whole, however, that it is ungenerous; to find any fault with it at all. The acting of the play last night was of Such artistic finish that the performance would have been enjoyable even had the piece itself not been so delightful. Mr. Hawtrey's part is a modest role, comparatively, for a star, the character of Mrs. Tidmarsh. played by Fannie Brough, being of just as much importance. Mr. liawtry's portrayal of Lord Straffpeffer could not have been bettered. It was as perfect a piece of comedy playing as has ever been seen in Indianapolis He was always the courteous, well-bred gentleman, no matter how embarrassing the situation into which he was plunged and some of the situations were embarrassing in the extreme. His ease of manner, naturalness, and his splendid grasp of the humorous side of the character, made Lord Straffpeffer a most Intal asl Ins personage indeed. With only one exception the supporting players were in character parts, and every one of the parts was most admirably played. The one "straight" part was that of Margtry Seaton, the govtriuss, and this role was charmingly interpreted by Alice De Win toil, whose beautiful stage presence and graceful bearing made the heroine of the little love story a most attractive one. Fanny Brough, as Mrs. Tidmarsh, had really the most important role of all, and her performance was delightfully humorous from beginning to end. She is one of the most finished comediennes the local stage has ever seen. Fred Thome gave a portrayal of Mr. Tidmarsh that was very funny, and a capital bit of character acting was done by William F. Owen as the rich uncle. Gabriel Gilwattle. Equally good were Herbert Ross, Holman Clarke. E. A. Plumpton, Henry Stephenson, Arthur Playfiur. Maude Shelton, Addie Burt. Lydia Rachel. Ma bed Henry and Vere Gerald in their respective characterisations, and Beatrice Terry, a sweetfaced young girl, was very natural as the daughter of the Tldmarshes a little maiden who, quite unconsciously, stirs up a great deal of the trouble, that occurs. In fact, a letter company of comedy players has rarely been organized, and seldom has an audience been so thoroughly entertained as was the assembly of last night. The engagement was for the one evening only, and it was all too brief. Hail the comedy remained in Indianapolis for the rest of the wek the theater would have contained even larger audiences at the succeeding performances, for "The Man from Blankley's" is a play that will be talked about when many other comedies are forgotten. A Xovelty at the Park. A romantic "costume" play, in which an ardent love affair, gallant deeds and the clanging of swords hold sway this is the novelty of the season at the Park. "The Pride of Jennico" opened its first local engagement at popular prices yesterday. It is the same dramatic version of the popular novel that was used by that splendid heroic actor. James K. Hackett, for two seasons, and It is elaborately staged and satisfactorily acted. A characteristic Park audience witnessed Its first presentation yesterday afternoon. The first act of the play the stage version, follows the book pretty closely was filled with the ripening love of Basil Jennlco for the Princess Marie Ottillie. and as the curtain fell the general verdict of the audience was expressed in the one word, "poor." The second act was a continuance of the charming love st ry and as the curtain again fell without any climax aside from thj quarrel between the lovers. th Jurors pronounced the piece "rotten."

The the verdict changed to "better." The last act contained some exciting scenes and thrilling incidences and as the play came to a conclusion this was the general opinion "tine:" A Park audience craves the sensational and though "The Pride of Jennico ' is not a sensational play Its threatened failure is turned to success at the popular-price Indianapolis playhouse solely on account of the swashbuckling atmosphere of its two last acts. On the whole, it Is a far better play than is usually to be seen in the cheaper theaters and it is to be regretted that more plays like it are not prominent on the popular-price circuits. Its mission Is all for the good, for It shows the lovers of lurid melodrama, who are steeped in the blood-and-thunder, what a real play is like. Its present interpreting company Is a modest one. It is ture, but it Is better than the average organization to be seen in the sensational melodramas. Edward R. Mawson, who plays the character originally portrayed by Hackett. is an actor of intelligence, well fitted for Just such a role as that of Basil Jennico. Although not a handsome man, he is graceful in his movements and his voice is of exceptionally musical quality. His enunciation Is wellnight perfect and altogether his performance marks him as a player who has enjoyed good schooling. Helen Holland makes a pretty Princess Ottilie and acts the light er scenes quite charmingly. She is not strong in the emotional passages, but manages to get through them acceptably. The supporting players are, for the most part, adequate, although there is a tendency among them to shout their lines In an ear-splitting manner, Wilmot Williams as Ilaron von Krappita being the greatest offender in this respect. William Hawley is a good-looking Eugene von Rothenburg and tills the role in good style, while Helen Harrington plays the part of the Bohemian girl, Michel, in a way that wins the approval of the audienee. She looks her part perfectly. The minor roles are well cared for. "The Pride of Jennico" is well worth seeing and It will doubtless attract other theatergoers than the usual Park clientele. Its- engagement continues during the rest of the week. Theatrical Notes. "Florodora," which is in two acts and three scenes, offers advantages for picturesque staise settings, which Messrs. Fish er & Ryley were not slow to recognize. The first act has but a single scene, which is located on an imaginary island in the Philippines. The second act shows the exterior and interior of an old caxile in Wales, and 11 three settings are marvels of the art of the present-day scene painter. It is the costuming of the play, however, that made an inroad on the exchequer of the "Florodora' promoters. In the old days chorus girls tripped about the stage In cotton tights that cost a mere trifle, but in "Florodora" the girls are dressed in evening gowns, many of which cost at; much as 8500 apiece. It was an expensive hobby of the managers to Invest the money they did in the production, but results have proved the wisdom of th' ir judgment. 'iFlorodora" comes to English's to-morrow for matinee and evening performances. Word comes from New York that there is a big theatrical deal on hand whereby De Wolf Hopper, the operatic comedian, who was seen In Indianapolis last week in "Mr. Pickwick." will head one of the most important musical organizations got together in many years. This will be for an all summer's run at the Shubert Broth -i i" Qi ii rick Theater in Chicago. The 6huberts. together with Joseph Jrlsmer and William A. Brady, are interested in Mr. Hopper s tours for the next three years, and it is this firm's intention to surround the comedian with an all-star cast and present him in big revivals of "Wang" and "Dr. Syntax." two of his greatest successes. These productions being given In the summer time, it wo lid not bfc a difficult matter to gather together a magnificent company of leading opera singers. Klaw & Erlanger announce that a little later "The Billionaire" will resume its tour, which has been temporarily abandoned on account of the death of Comedian Jerome Sykes, and that it will f -dsh Its bookings through the South and West, as originally outlined. The big musical show, which aas to have played In Indianapolis this wtek. will, in all probability, be seen here in me spring. It is believed that either Dan Daly or Richard Golden will be secured to play the part creat-d by Mr. Sykes Dan Daly is the choice of the management, but It is said that his health is none too good and that up to this time he has declined the offer on the ground that he is physiclally unable to stand the strain of a long and arduous season on the road. At the close of the performance of "Nancy Brown" in Milwaukee the night before last !iu traveling men, who were holding a meeting in that city, .'.nd who had attended the Ierformance of the play, met Marie Cahlil at the stage door, unhitched the horses from her carriage and pulled the vehicle from the theater to the Plankington Hotel, where the actress was stopping. During the first act of the play Miss (.'ahill had Interpolated a cosatr song called "The Drummer" for the benefit of the traveling men. and. being culled Upon for :i . h. had iven a ' curtain talk " during which she incidentally mentioned the fact that she was afraid of horses. Hence the action of the Jolly drummers in pulling the earriage. 4 It Is finally announced that Fay Templeton is to return to the Weber 4 Fields
