Those who are required to share Mrs. Aria's friend ship with any unworthy new arrival that chances to read her reminiscences have declined, almost Without exception, to abet her disastrous habit of making new friends.

I am a place of entertainment, a point of pilgrim age like St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey, or the Zoo logical Gardens. I am the oldest inhabitant of the stalls, the lady Methuselah on the mat at the Box Offices, and as well known as the Tower of London.
