I was so struck by her beari:g and the
quiet elegance of her manner that it was
something of a jolt when the policeman
turned and asked me in a voice unmis

Competition is the life of trade and
it is also a great boon to shoppers in

very strong moral in a most entertain
ing manner. The play offers excellent
opportunities for several members of
the cast to distinguish themselves, and
a few of them more than make good.
