MRS. VON KLEBS.

Then you are out of an engagement at present?

MAGDA.

[Murmurs.] Oh, come, come! [Aloud.] Yes, I'm a vagabond now. [The ladies look at each other.]

MRS. VON KLEBS.

There are really not many daughters of good families on the stage, are there?

MAGDA.

[In a friendly tone.] No, my dear madam; most of them are too stupid.

MRS. SCHWARTZE.

Oh, Magda! Enter Max.
