Saturday Night. Coincidences The other night in a newspaper office part of the name of the senior members of a firm whose advertisement that paper carries daily, fell from the press. It was then between one and two in the morning. The next day the news came. to the office that early that morning the senior mem- ber of the firm had died. A newspaper friend of mine who was night editor in that office told me that story the other day. What do vou think of it? That it is only a, coincidence? Yes, so do I—that is in the part of me that insists on looking at things sensibl But in spite of the wet blanket- ing of common sense, don't you just love coincidences? Don't yuo love to have them happen to you, to tell of them, and to hear about them. eryone Loves A Coincidence. I confess 1 do. And I think almost everyone does, for let such a story as that of the night editor be related in any company and immediately every one is ready to relate the coincidence that happened to him or his brother-in-law, or his cousin’'s aunt or his friend’'s friend. In our group it was the signal for the chronicling of half a dozen such stories. I'm going to give you two—the authorman’s, because it was the most dramatic, and my own, because I am the most sure of its absolute authen- ticity (no aspersions on the veracity of the authorman intended, but sec- ond-hand stories are never quite so unimpeachable as the first-hand wi riety). The Night the Fire Chief Died. The authorman told of the death of a man who had been fire chief of his city for many years. The night he died (the very moment, the auth- orman thinks, but is not sure—second-hand you see) something went wrong in the wire system and all the fire-bells began to ring out the death of their chief. The morning my grandfather lay dying we heard a crash in the parlor and rushed down from his bedroom to see what had happened. On the floor lay the picture of my grandfather which had hung in twin state be- side grandmother’'s for nigh on forty years. Grandfather died that afternoon. Of course a coincidence is nothing but a coincidence—according to Daniel Webster, two contemporaneous happenings, and according to common usage, two contemporaneous happenings between which there ap- pears to be some strange and miraculous relationship. Such dramatic happenings are merely a result of the working out of the law of permutation and combination. Pictures fall and people die every day. Once in a great number of times the picture of some per- son is due to fall on the day he dies. When that happens it is not a sign or a warning, merely a coincidence. And Yet, in Spite of Common Scnsc. That's common sense. And yet in spite of all it has to say, there is something about these strange happenings with their delicious suggestion of the miraculous, their thrilling hints at hidden forces that piques the ric curiosity in most of us. We know they are only coincidences, but we almost wish we didn't. And now if this chat moves you to contribute your favorite coinci- dence, be sure it will be welcomed and passed alopg. We don't have to believe in the miraculous quality of coincidences to like them, any more than we have to really believe In ghosts to enjoy a ghost story. el L for its presentation here a finely bal- anced cast.

The slangy forthrightness of Sig- nora Monti in keeping her “wop” to the “straight and narrow” and her distress at being pulled one way by her love for him, and the other by her utter exasperation, give play to some of the cleverest lines heard in a farce since ‘“Baby Mine,"” also Mar- garet Mayo's play.
