She Knew One When She Saw It.
The following is related as an actual occurrence during the presentation of "Virginius" by the amateurs of Macon. Those who have seen the play will doubtless remember the scene where the ashes of Virginia, who has been killed by her father, after which the body was cremated, are brought on the stage in an urn. A young lady in the audience turned to her escort with the remark: "That's a crematory."
"No," said he, "you are mistaken; that is not a crematory."
"Well, I say it is," she remarked; "I guess I know a crematory when I see one."
The curtain drops.
