llliitrtrag Eeytxrt i ni 99 ea i X I 4 If if .ax J nrz49f, l g g , Q J Q'...-4V 'A .i THE UGLY LITTLE THEATER I am a man. If I were not-that is, if I were a woman-I probably would be sufficiently cunning to conceal the fact that I was quite con- tented with myself. I am not admitting that woman is not vain, she is, but she is also intuitive, she knows that when one wears a mauve frock one can artfully pluck a mauve lilac to arrange carelessly in one's hair as if one never imagined the ensemble was perfect Qespecially if one,s hair held elusive purple shadows in its plaitsj. D I am a man of spirit, or I would not take upon me as an immediate duty the one of patiently explaining why I am pleased with myself. And since the powers of deduction are undoubtedly the simplest means of saving me from the brand of conceit, I shall use them to place step by step, yet with respect for the reader's intelligence, those facts which prove I am without even a shade of personal vanity. I have no physical beauty: my hair, being a pleasant shade of tan or pale brown, does not harmonize with my eyes which are a pleasant shade of grey--sometimes changing to a muddy color, often called hazel. Neither am I tall and masterful, nor do I possess any of those subtle gifts that Heaven or Satan bestows on many comely male-beings. My secret of contentment is love-of Life and my little theater. These two are synonymous to me, for my theater is my life. Please, I am not garrulous. I merely wish to describe to you a bit of Life that God entrusted to me, seeming to say, This I give thee to mould. It is thine to make of it what you will. If only I could have heard the winds whisper His will, or could have seen His beautiful command in the subtlety of the mists! But there was no definite gesture-no material plan given meg I simply sensed my duty. But not alone. No, for never have I been more humble than when the first great realization came to me that God had chosen me as his servant but only because The Little Theater was mine! And when I saw the supernal wonder of the task set before me, I was awed, and afraid of my clumsiness. And so He gave into my hands an atom of the Kingdom, and the power. I shall tell about my reward, which was the Glory.
