The one who was a double- barreled widow—two wedding rings in stock—knew exactly why the man was there: “I can read his type like a book: you can’t fool me on men—there's a prosperous citizen who has been do- ing the primrose dally, until, feeling that the time has come to settle down and marry, is looking over price tags to see If he can stand the gaff.” “I think you are mistaken'—the dis- senting opinion was handed down by an obvious spinster—~maybe, heaven in its own good time will explain why nature is allowed to create ugly women—*I bet he's a good Christian who has stayed single because the girl he loved—name of Mary—died in their youth-time, and he s standing there wishing with all his poor dear heart that she was back and he could glve her every lovely thing. Why, 1 can almost hear him feeling ‘too late—too late." " “You poor simp, we’ll be too late, ourselves, if we don't hurry up.” So they hurried up. And when they were in their seats and had turned around to see what sort of house it was going to be, the first person they saw was the gray-sult man, tucking his panama under his chair. Humble pie may not be equal to the pastry mother used to make, but it ‘saves a lot of wear and tear on one’s immortal soul. Wherefore, the women admitted to each other that the man was neither a primrose ram- bler nor a mourner for Mary, but, most- likely, had been lojtering along because he was too early for the theater.

HIS is about the sand man—not the old fellow who puts bables to sleep—but his turbaned brother of the movies, who creates visions by sifting sand through his fingers, be fore an astounded audience of heroes, villains and plain extras; all of them standing a discreet distance from a cobra reared up by his side. The fingers are brown claws, and the sand nothing more than strands slipping to the ground to form a little pile, but the pictures are of a bigness that swallows the whole stage to make room for Innocence chained ir a dungeon, and a villain gorged with wealth—then it recedes into nothing- ness and the turbaned fortune telier is there with his little basket of sand, his cobra and whatever bakshish the crowd tosses his way. An idea that gives you a better one is always worth while. In this case, say, if you were not particularly in- terested in getting Innocence out of a dungeon and pursulng a malefac- tor of wealth, you could think up other sand pictures—the ones that hang on the cobwebbed walis of for- getfulness, except for the occasional times you take them down for an airing—like this one, that requires no sifting of sand through fingers, to vi sion it clear and true A blue sea billowing into a beach, with two soldiers drawing a line on the sand to let the breakers know just how far they are allowed to roll in.
