Woman. look at that" he exclaim-
ed with spirit, as he peeled off coat,
vest and collar and held out his necktie
at arms length.
Yes, l see. It's one of your old
neckties. It's frayed and soiled. You
hunted it out of the rag bag instead
of taking one from your drawer.
You've got at least six good ties. What

what else? Why, I could tell you
millions of things, but what's the use?
I'll only mention that I lost over 81 in
silver to-day through a hole in my
pocket. That hole has been there for
a week, but of course it was of no
interest to you. If I had the
ice pick and some strip of bark, I'd
try to mend it,"
DO l know anything about holes in
your pockets unless you speak of
them?' protested Mrs Bowser. You
know I'm always ready to mend and
repair at minutes notice"
Mr.. Bowesr sighed and shook his
head in a mournful way and walked
around, and the cat sighed and shook
her head and followed him. Presently
he stopped and said:
And my shirts-I buy thousands of

Are they sold to the junk dealer as fast
as buy them. or are they reduced to
rags through envy and malice?'
You've got six as good shirts as any
man ever wore, and if You'll find hole

no soul on earth to turn to, l tell
you he's danced in booth, he's sung

stop her. but she went on, with flash

resisted the disconnected little speech
but not the pretty face turned up so
appealingly to hls-a couple of coins
clinked into the shoe.
Edgar felt his cheeks burn, for TIE
theatre was his little world, and the
quick response of his comrades touch
ed and amazed him.
His wistful eyes followed Columblne
as she tripped from one to another

the side of the bench at last, he could
only stretch out his hands to the crowd
that pressed round. He tried to Thank

said Edgar Brooke, with the smile of
long suffering, to youthful inter
viewer. who was trying to pick up a
few crumbs of interest at the end Of
his long talk with the most inimitable
comedian of the day
Edgar Brooke glanced abstractedly
round his study and racked his brains
for suitable anecdote, but he eouldn
for the life of him remember at the
minute any of the antiquated theatri-
cal stories that every actor makes his
own.
The youthful interviewers eyes
wandered curiously round and fell on
quaint little pair of shoes which
were hanging over the oak fireplace.
Not dainty slippers, spangled and gay.
but just limp memento of the ballet,
with rounded toes, no heels and an old
covering of silk, worn and frayed.
They hung against the wall with
the little toes turned in, as IL their
dancing days were over, and they
were far too weary for a piroutte or
even the first position.
