When, alter my experiment in smoking a vigarette to,please him he looked up with a' grave face and announced that he wanted to have a serious finan- cial discussion with me, I was fright- ened. I wondered if he were in any trouble about which he had not told me. My face must have told its own story” of anxiety, for suddenly Dicky laughed. B Not Ruined Man. *“Don’t worry,” he said gayly. “I haven’t lost my diamonds, and I am not a ru-ined man. You seem to have set vour heart upon that allowance thing, so I thought we would get it over with. How much do you want each week?” “Why, Dicky, how can I tell, when I have no idea what your income is. I know vaguely, of course, that yvou must receive very good prices for your work, but I have no idea of how much. you receive each week, month, and I must know that to make out my budget.” “ae Dicky Looks Mystified. “Your what?” Dicky looked mysti- Gied. “My budget,” I repeated, “my list of the expenditures I expect to make during the week, or month, and they must be based upon the amount of money I receive, and that in turn must be reckoned on your income.” “What piffle!” retorted Dicky, ow can you ever tell what unex- pected expenses you are going to have? guess my income will stand the strain. I'll tell you what, you tell me how much you have spent this last week, then I will make up the deficit. If you save more than $20 any week you must treat me to a lit- tle dinner. ' There's a sporting propo- sition for you, Will you take it?” .. Govern Expenditures. “Dicky,” I said in despair. “Won't you try to understand?

As a collector for an instalment house or an investigator of the income tax you ought to be worth your weight in gold. But you can’t drag any secrets from me, for there are none to drag. Sometimes my income is zero for week .or two——"" He paused dramatically, and looked at me closely, evidently expecting that I would show signs of dismay. But I knew him well enough to wait calmly for the rest of his words. “And sometimes I have had checks amounting to a thousand good iron mien between the first and the thirty- first.” It was my turn to look bewildered. “A thousand iron men?” I queried doubtfully. “I beg a thousand pardons. cxplain.

Now do you see why I can't tell you how much my weekly income is?” “I don’t see at all,” I persisted. “You certainly do not spend the whole thousand in the month you re- celve it.” “Oh, of course, I have a checking “I have a faint idea, Dicky, that jyour income would warrant the sirain of an occasional porterhouse and the elimination of corned beef from the menu unless you particular- ly wanted it,” I said, ironically. ‘“But why. don’t you give me some idea of what your income is? Then I could tell you what my budget would be.” .. Misgiving About Ability. I knew that I was irritating Dicky with his reiteration, but if I were to run my housekeeping upon an al- lowance basis at all I knew no other way then the one I had outlined. I had misgivings also about by own ability to keep within a budget, es- pecially with Katie in the kitchen. SEABOAR ‘The Progressive Rallway of the South Best Train Fquipment—Steel Coaches.

If I know that I can es- timate the year’s budget and thus fnd out about what the expenses of each week or month ought to be. “My yearly income, madam,” Dicky sprang to his feet and strutted across the room pompously, “is known only to the income-tax man. By the time I had it figured out for him I was at- tacked with amnesia, and I haven't remembered anything pertaining to money since.” “Do be serious, Dicky. me so. o n Dicky Evidéntly Subdued. Dicky came back to his seat evi- dently subdued. “I don’t mean to tease you, sweet- heart,” he said, “but it’s such a bore to me to bother about money. Earn- ing it and spending it, those are the only things I know about it. Four years ago my yearly income was so small I'd hate to name the figure— just enough to scrape along. Last year I pulled down about $6,000, T suppose, and this year looks as good or better.” “Why, Dicky!” I gasped. *“I never dreamed you Were So prosperous. You must have a lot of money saved vp or invested.” “Saved. Invested!” Dicky gave a short laugh. “Shows you don’t know much about yours truly. I always keep enough ahead at the bank so I won’t run short. I guess my balance is about a thousand, but I haven’t a penny anywhere else.” PO ‘Was Dicky Angry? was eloguent with my opinion of such prodigality, for Dicky looked at me curiously for a moment, and then, jumping to his feet, began to pace up and down the room, his head bent, his face grave. He was evidently ponder- ing some course of action. With the memory of his outburst the night before before me, I trem- bled as I saw his preoccupied face. Had I said too much? Was he angry?

For instance, the New York Tri- bune, so conservative in its criticism of the drama, broke all bounds in heaping praise on “A Full House.” This is how it started off a two column review of the farce: *“ ‘A Full House’ is frankly dedicated to the High Imp of Laughter, and it amply fulfills its dedication. It is farce, straight, unadulterated and un- ashamed.

HOLBROOK BLINN IN STRONG PLAY, FOX'S Holbrook Blinn, the Broadway fa- vorite will be seen at Fox's tomorrow night in “The Family Cupboard,” a powerful five act photo-dramatization of the famous stage play of the same title. “The Family Cupboard” is re- plete with stirring and heart thrilling climaxes and it is a film play that will meet with the approval of the Fox patrons witnessing any of the per- formances tomorrow. The Pathe News with its current evtns and some exceptional comedies will also be shown. Raymond Wiley, the marvel of the double voice, will sing several concert numbers in bari- tone and soprano which will add di- versity and entertainment to the offer- ing. Frederick Perry, the Broadway fa- vorite will be seen for the last times Four single reels of careful selection and chocked full of entertaining qualities frame the balance of the bill tonight. VOLUNTEER ORGANIST AT POLI'S NEXT WEEK Old-time plays, like old-time sonsgs, retain their favor with the public. Such a play is “The Volunteer Organ- ist,” a rural comedy drama that has a record of many years of uninter- rupted favor and success. It is in this production that the Poli Players will appear before the theater-goers of Hartford next week and its return will doubtless be welcomed by thou- sands. To survive for so many years, it is obviously apparent that ‘‘The Volunteer Organist” possesses un- usual merit, both in its heart interest and its scenic invesiture. Such is the fact, for the story is human, the characters are real and the various scenes of the play are really very pretty. The story concerns the peo- ple of Cambridge, Conn, a small hamlet not unlike many others of this country where the pastor of the vil- lage church meets with all sorts of obstacles. The play has moved the hearts of theatergoers for years and still has a wonderful grip upon its sympathies. Manager Neal Harper of Poli theater has engaged Hugh Mc- Hugh, the boy soprano of St. Joseph’s Cathedral, recognized as one of the finest boy sopranos in the state, as the special soloist and Master McHugh will be heard at each performance during the week. The play will be adequately mounted and staged un- der the direction of State Director Ritchie, who recently assumed that post with the Poli Players, this be- ing his first productjon here. Seats for the week are on sale at the box office.

By glving that attention to her work which many of the other giris in the office devoted to their clotaes and beaux, she has made her way into a very interesting and impor- tant position. She loves her work. She has her books and time to read them. She has a flower-bed which is the admiration of the neighbor- hood. She has several friends (of both sexes) in whose companionship she finds much pleasure. Some of ~ the money she saves by having plainer clothes makes it possible for her to take in the best that comes to the city in musie, lectures and the dramma. She it very fond of her sister's children and spends much time with them. A comfortable old age is practically assured her by a system of saving. Such is her life.

I used to think that was humor, but the other day I had a new light on it. I came out in the car opposite a Woman who is, I suppose, what is called an old mald. I don’t like that term because of the stigma of ridi- cule and reproach which has at- tached to it ““Maiden lady” isn't so reproachful, but it has too prim a sound, suggests mitts and hairclota sofas. Suppose, then, we say ‘‘bache- lor girl.” She Has Evidently Ceased to Struggle. This particular girl has evidently ccased to struggle. A few years ago she was unquestionably anxious to get married and acted accordingly. She was not a pretty girl nor a girl who took easily to style and small talk and sprightliness, and all the other tricks by which men are be- guiled. But she anxiously and pains- takingly tried to fit herself into the mold. She didn’t seem happy and I don’t think she was. The First Thing I Noticed Was Her Contented Look. But the other day when I saw her, the first thing I noticed about her was an expression of content and happiness.
