CAUSES OF WAR.
1hey Differ, IT Seems, and Here's
the Reason Why.

Did you know that the Virgins FAM
ny and the .Waggins family are no
longer on speaking terms?" said the
woman who had just run in for few
minutes to be neighborly and sociab1e.
No. answered the hostess. What
was it about?"
The same old foolish story. Their
children fell out and grew impertinent,
and then the parents took sides, and the
hrst thing anyone know there was a
general misunderstanding"
q How fooEshl 1 never could see why
people didn't have more intelligence
than TO do such things. By the way, did
You go to the theater last week."
Yes. Isn't that new star, Gerald
McStiggins, simply grand?"
Il can't say that think very much
of Gerald McStiggins.
Not think much Of Gerald McStig-
ginsi Well, 1 am free TO say that I
don't believe I ever knew what acting
was till I saw him. His voice is so me-
lodious and refined and the way he
walks is so graceful that l don't see
how anybody that is cultured could help
admiring him"
Perhaps he is to the liking of some
people," was the rather icy answer,
''but l never cared much for matinee
actors who had women standing on the
eurbstone to see them come out after
the show was over"
II never did such thing"
"Oh, I know you didn't; at least l
never heard of it. But you know great
many do Did you observe the work Of
Hamilton Fatz? He is my ideal of an
actor. He has such repose. There is
never any suggestion of self-conscious-
ness in what he does. and he isn't al
ways trying to impress you with his
personal beauty, either"
He's a perfect clown!"
Can it be possible that you are re-
ferring to Hamilton Fatz in such Ian
guage?" inquired the hostess, who was
getting red in the face.
Yes" answered the visitor, clutch
ing her parasol tighter. And l can
understand why Gerald McStiggins is
not more appreciated when public taste
is so impaired that people can be found
to run after a comic person like Mr..
Fatz."
Excuse me-" came the query, in
tones of subdued volume but terrible In
tensity; "but did I understand you to
say run after?
I'm sure don't know Wnetner you
understand me to say it or not. After
the opinions one hears expressed it's
difficult to know what some people un-
derstand and what they don't"
They were both standing in the mid
die Of the floor One held the parasol
with a grasp which threatened to break
it's ribs, and the other was nervously
pulling a lace handkerchief to tatters.
Just then the hostess husband entered.
Whats the matter?" he exclaimed
s. s'You seem excited"
'Oh, Mrs. Bingle was just telling me
that the Wigginses and the Wagginses
had quarreled.'

OF refugees who have fled in panic from San
