had tickled the; imagination ot the public.
Moit people,' at some period of their lives,
have had an opportunity of being amused
at the queer manifestations of human na
ture which the American boarding house is
apt to exhibit in kaleidoscopic variety J and
the janticipation of seeing these reproduced
and caricatured behind the footlights,1 was
novel and pleasing . But though the play
wai in many respects excellent' it was not
precisely what the audience, had come to
8se2 The droll . things with, . which board
ing house life is so replete, hold a second
ary place in the entertainment, being made
to form, as it were, the framework in which
the story of a sham marriage and its miser
able Bequel is set,-; There is, however,
quite enough in the piece that is funny and
laughable. The ludicrous makeshifts, the
shocking scandals, the sly flirtations,! and
the curious social' mixtures of which the
boarding house of the" period Is prolific,
were all Illustrated to the life."
