But he laid his hand on the back of the seat as if he were going to sit down, and, willy, nilly, I had to move over. The seats on top of the 'buses are narrow enough when two slenderly built people share them. I am slen- der, but Harry Underwood man, tall and massively framed.

I had made many trips on the om- nibus in the old cousinly days with Jack. Before we were married Dicky and I had taken two or three blissful rides upon this seat, or one just like it. The memory of those rides, the peaceful and the blissful ones, made this enforced one taken in the com- pany of a man I detested, even more hateful than it would have been or- dinarily. “How is Mrs. Underwood this morning?” I resolved to take the con- versation into my own hands, and keep it there. ‘“Very well, I thank you.” He put his finger in his mouth and mimicked a small girl repeating a first lesson in courteous answer. “I am so glad,” I said, ignoring his buffoonery. “I was so afraid she would be ill after her hard work last | night.” ‘“She was a bit upset after we got ' home, but she was all right this morning when she left for the studio.” | T wondered what business or pro- | fession this man could have to enable | | him to stroll idly down Fifth avenue ' in the late forenoon, while his wife | was busy at her studio.

Thank the shop girl who waits on you. Smile at the crowd instead of glaring at them.

If you haven't some of this spirit toward shop girl and crowd and friends and enemies, though you give far more than you can afford, though you wear out your scul and body in shopping tours, you have not Christmas.

To sing this music there is a quartet of superior vocalists, Vin- cent Sullivan, Leola Lucey, Nannette Tlack and Edna Whistler, and a great singing chorus of fifty. Walter Jones, the famous comedian, is the featured member of the cast and Eva Swain, the premiere danseuse from , the Metropolitan Opera House is an- other attraction with “Tit for Tat.” Oresta Vessella, who composed the msuic for the new musical comedy, will conduct the augmented orchestra at tonight’s performance.
