man, -who, coining after the boy, got there just in time to receive her cuffs. The young man assumes a highly indignant air, stalks out of the room, returns with his hat in hand, and, with a stately bow, retires. The maiden begins to cry and gesticulates violently before her mother, intimating that she had driven him away. Old lady looks horror-stricken for a few moments, but, seeing the boy, she pounces upon him, and both of the ladies chastise him severely. The boy bawls loudly, and the curtain drops upon the pathetic scene.

A KESTATJKANT SCENE.

Several tables are spread and people may be eating at them or not, whichever is convenient. A pompous-looking man comes in and sits down at one of the tables. A shuffling waiter, who is constantly stumbling against things and dropping his tray, sidles up to him and puts his ear near the man's mouth. He evidently gets the order and disappears. The man takes up a bottle from the table, uncorks it, and smells its contents. He is seized with a violent fit of sneezing, "Waiter comes in with tray and plates, running against the sneezing head, drops his tray and dishes, and rushes out again in time to escape a vigorous kick aimed at him by the man^ who shakes his fist after him, and then picks up the dishes. The waiter reappears with a bowl of soup, and, timidly approaching, gets it down on the table safely and escapes. The man is about to eat when he suddenly throws down his spoon and beckons viciously for the waiter. The latter approaches very much scared. The man pulls a long hair out of the soup. (The hair should be thread, so that the audience can see it.) The waiter appears dismayed, rushes out and returns with the cook, who has her sleeves rolled up and carries a soup ladle. When she sees the hair, she shakes her head, denying that it was hers. A lady, evidently the proprietress, comes up and appears to insist that it is the cook's hair. The man, proprietress and cook begin gesticulating violently and pounding with their fists upon the table. The waiter attempts to put in an oar, but is silenced by the cook, who hits him in the eye with the ladle. When the row is at its height, a girl with her sleeves rolled up appears, dressed like a second girl in a kitchen, and, taking the hair, compares it with her own, to the satisfaction of all, especially the man who discovered it, who smiles and throws kisses at her as the curtain goes down.
