Not that L want to live forever but

Il believe firmly that there is always
room for the homely play which car
ries the laugh with it. People may
enjoy and laugh at musical comedies
and French farceS and society plays,
but, for all those, they will find place
for the home made play with the

time if a man has two sides to his ma
ture-a serious and funny Side-he
can make himself of much more value

people are missing the hat, but they
will get used to it. I hope, and like me

the trouble. and Mrs. Bowser explain

Il am sorry to say that Annie had

down his knife and fork
But accidents will happen, you
know
DO you know that an accident did
happen, Mr.. Bowser?''
''Of course. That is, a boy came here
with a note for Annie
Yes a boy came here with note
for her, but 1 have no doubt that it
was all planned out days beforehand.
The girl simply wanted an excuse to
get out of the house"
But why?"
why? Why? Because you were
grinding her under the heel of despot-
ism. Because never an hour in the
day passed that you were not remind
