his manager, who was standing In the
lobby OF the theatcr, and introduced
themselves as a couple OF actors Their
names were entirely unknown TO him.
and they had nothing TO show that
they were what they claimed to be.
Accordingly he refused 70 give them
seats, but they were persistent. One
OF the men in particular was offensive

managers nose and demanded who 1t
was that dared refuse him passes.

know who we are, eh? Well, who are

The manager. who feared scene.
handed over one of his cards and told
the men he was responsible and quite
willing to take the consequences OF re-
fusing TO give them seats.
A few minutes later the two men
came back to. the theater. One Of them
had written TPass two on the man
agers card. He presented the card at
the box Office. and it was promptly
honored. Then they went in.
When, half an hour later, the man

had been DONE he was at first inclined
to take some severe action, but later
he saw the joke ON himself.

The following Is a quotation from
sanslwit text dealing with the crea-
ton Of woman. and Is taken from The
Mystic Rose; A Study of Primitive
Marriage" by Ernest Crawley, M. A.:
In the beginning when Twashtri came
to the creation OF woman. he found that
he had exhausted his materials in the
making of man, and that no solid ele.
ments We're left. In this dilemma, after
profound meditation, he did as follows.
He took the rotundity OF the moon
and the curves Of creepers. and the
clinging Of tendrils, and the trembling
Of grass, and the slenderness OF the
reed, and the bloom Of flowers, and the
lightness Of leaves, and the tapering OF
the elephants trunk, and the glanced
Of deer, and the clustering OF rows OF
bees and the Joyous gaiety OF sum
beams and the weeping of clouds, and
the fickleness Of the winds, and the
timidity of the hare. and the vanity OF
the peacock, and the softness OF tue
parrots bosom. and the hardness OF
adamant and the sweetness OF honey,
and the cruelty Of the tiger. and the
warm glow OF fire, and the coldness OF
snow, and the chattering OF jays, and
the cooling OF the kokila, and the hyp
ocrisy OF the crane, and the fidelity OF
the chakrawaka, and compounding all
these together. he made woman and
gave her to man
But, after one week. man came tc
him and said: Lord, this creature
that you have given me makes my lie
miserable she chatters necessarily,
and ieasns me hnNnnl endnrance. never
