STAGE SUPERSTITIONS.
Every trade or profession has its own superstitions, but I think the stage is the worst of all. I remem ber who I was quite a novice on the stage ondenyouring to clean out my make-up box, as it certainly looked very dirty and untidy, when to my honor I heard about six voices in the tiny dressing-room yelling at me: "What are you doing? You mustn't "clean out your makeup box until the run of the piece is over."'
"It's very
unlucky added another girl. "It might get us all the sack. I couldn't help think big that if the show had a very long run my make-up box would he past cleuning.
Another time I had to walk up stairs on to a balcony affair to make my exit, when, I stumbled and feil. Feeling a most awful fool, I picked myself up and made as dignified an exit as possible. But when I got off one of the girly remarked: "Well, you are lucky A new con- tmct for you, dear." This was welcome intelligence, as our piece -was-coming-to-a-close."
FORGET THE SOAP.
SHOOTS LOVER.
Paris, July 16:—A 20-years-old Polish girl, Mile, Umiska, shot and killed her Polish lover in hospital here yesterday because, she said, she could not bear to see him suffer.
The man, M. Zoznowaki, des slowly dying of an incurable cribed as a Polish writer, was disease. When visiting him yes. terday the girl, taking advantage of the temporary absence of a nurse, levelled it at her lover's head, and took a revolver from her handbag, fired. He died instantly,
He suffered too much," the girl told the doctor who hastened In "I could not leave him like that, so. to deliver him from his sufferings I killed him. I would rather see him die at once than die slowly."
The girl is now suffering from a nervous breakdown, fi

"What a lot of cricketers, names begin with a haltch," remarked an Oval enthusiast to his companion, There's Obbs; and Aigand Endreny and Earnerand Owell.

Then, if you should leave a piece of soap bahinds in the dressing" Habel don't spell is name with room-while-on-tour, it means that you will make a return visit to that theatre. Dropping a brush in the dressing-room is supposed to mean Fresh work. Of course, it must be dropped by accident.
Once our dresser was missing when we had a very quick change to do, and one girl was, fastening another girl's frock up. I hustened to help the former and fasten her dress."No. no!" they both cried, **not threa'! It's awfully un- lucky!"
Of course, everyone knows the prejudice against whistling in the dressing-room. It is supposed to mean that the one nearest the doct will receive her notice, 1 Oddly enough. T have witnessed this come trie on more than one occasion.
