S How One Actor ? ' '. . Pat Up a Job on An' other One. , . . ThereHs a young actor in New, York antipathy toward that most delicate of tints pale pink. When it is referred to In; his presence' he becomes embarrassed and exhibits a strong inclination to slide through some Convenient crack In the floor. The tale that hangs thereby is a The young actor regards touching one.lady-killhimself as a of the deepest dye,, and, In the patois of the prof ession, "earns his.salary at Saturday matinees.". In the company with him is a comedian with a passion for the practical joke.' One day In a "facetious'; moment bo wrote what is known as a "mash note' to the young actor and signed a feminine name thereto. The bait was swallowed and the correspondence j between the flirtatious youth and his mysterious admirer kept the company in roars for- a week. Finally one of the letters from the fair one ended as follows: 4I shall be in a box at the matinee and shall wear a red rose at my throat. If you receive this, please have a bit of pale pink ribbon in your buttonhole. ' Yours from afar, Clarissa." ' Tho young man has the opening scene of the play, and at the matinee specified dashed on with .a pale ' pink ribbon adorning his lapel. X In the middle of his first speech he glanced at jthe boxe9 and discovered four women, each with a red rose ' at her throat and a deeply sentimental smile. Every one of them was decor atetl with a pale pink kn0t, bow or streamers. The young actor went all to pieces, forgot hhi lines and swore to have the red, red blood, of tbe man who put up the game on him. In the last act the victim has a very pathetic scene and was just in the middle of it when the leading lady's pugdog on the stage. His, little strayed tail was ornamented .with' funny, a big pale pink bow and his entrance had a most disastrous effect. Three scenes were cut bodily, and 'the. manager fined the young actor for breaking up the performance. He is still looking for 'Clarissa. Brandon rsiicksavo. !
