One thing that must irritate the stage heroine very much on these occasions is the way in which the snow seems to lie in wait for her and follow her about.

," she says (sadly of course); "I have many, many faults." We rather wish that she would show them a little more. Her excessive goodness seems somehow to pall upon us. Our only consolation while watching her is that there are not many good women off the stage. Life is bad enough as it is; if there were many women in real life as good as the stage heroine, it would be unbearable. The stage heroine's only pleasure in life is to go out in a snow-storm without an umbrella and with no bonnet on. She has a bonnet, we know (rather a tasteful little thing); we have seen it hanging up behind the door of her room; but when she comes out for a night stroll during a heavy snow-storm (accompanied by thunder), she is most careful to leave it at home. Maybe she fears the snow will spoil it, and she is a careful girl. She always brings her child out with her on these occasions. She seems to think that it will freshen it up. The child does not appreciate the snow as much as she does. He says it's cold. IT WASN'T TEARFUL OH NO SHE SAYS SADLY OF COURSE I HAVE MANY MANY FAULTS WE RATHER WISH THAT SHE WOULD SHOW THEM A LITTLE MORE HER EXCESSIVE GOODNESS SEEMS SOMEHOW TO PALL ON US OUR ONLY CONSOLATION WHILE WATCHING HER IS THAT THERE ARE NOT MANY GOOD WOMEN OFF THE STAGE LIFE IS BAD AS IT IS IF THERE WERE MANY WOMEN IN REAL LIFE AS GOOD AS THE STAGE HEROINE HE WOULD BE UNBEARABLE THE STAGE HEROINE'S ONLY PLEASURE IN LIFE IS TO GO OUT IN A SNOW STORM WITHOUT AN UMBRELLA AND WITH NO BONNET ON SHE HAS A BONNET WE KNOW RATHER A TASTEFUL LITTLE THING WE HAVE SEEN IT HANGING UP BEHIND THE DOOR OF HER ROOM BUT WHEN SHE COMES OUT OF THE NIGHT'S STROLL DURING THE HEAVY SNOW STORM ACCOMPANIED BY THUNDER SHE IS MOST CAREFUL TO LEAVE IT AT HOME MAYBE SHE FEARS THAT THE SNOW WILL SPOIL IT AND SHE IS A RATHER CAREFUL GIRL SHE ALWAYS BRINGS HER CHILD OUT WITH HER ON THESE OCCASIONS SHE SEEMS TO THINK THAT HE WILL FRESHEN IT UP THE CHILD DOES NOT APPRECIATE THE SNOW AS MUCH AS SHE DOES HE SAYS IT'S COLD
