with her again and we really and truly engaged
with diamond ring, and a gold locket with her
picture and twist of her hair in it. Of course she
didn't wear the ring where folks could see it, be-
cause we knew that her mother wouldn't stand for
it minute; but she had it around her neck on a
string. After that used to write to each other
regularly twice week. At least, wrote that often
until along in October when | made the Eleven and
was too busy. Some girls would have got huffy and
all that; but Doris has a heap of sense She wrote
regularly every Sunday, and 1 wrote whenever l
could find time.
Well, we kept engaged from that time on, with
one or two breaks. The first year l went to college
it got broken off somehow. There was girl at
New Haven named-but it doesn matter what her
was; l guess she's still there, anyhow. Of
course l never really took to her much; but she
was awfully good fun and all that and Doris heard
about it and got tearing mad She sent back every
thing Id ever given her, and all my letters, three
or four dozen of them | guess, and said l to
send everything of hers back. Well that put me
in bit of a hole, because I'd lost the locket some
how and didn't want her to know it. So l wrote
that my love for her still the brightest thing in
lite, and that matter how much she might doubt
me or how badly she treated me l would not give
up the precious mementos of a happier day-sorne-
thing like that, anyway. She didn't write again;
but she fessed up afterwards that she was diving
to make UP and have the letters back. ANYHOW I
dropped the girl in New Haven, and a month later
she engaged to Sud Folsom.

Prom, and made ten-strike with the fellows

After having successfully defended his
stage against the invasion of the attend
auce officers Manager Lotto OF the Los
Angeles theater met his Waterloo last
week, and the Wellington who brought
about his downfall was no less important
parsonage than Biddie, George Kun
keps dog. Biddie is a privileged charac-
r.
and she shares his dressing room. 1t was
this last hi bit that aroused Lotto's ire.
He declared that he was not running a
circus or a trained animal show, and
issued a formal order that Biddie should
be denied access to the stage.
The next night Biddie was on hand as
usual Then Lotto decreed that the stage
doorkeeper should lose his job II the Of
fense was repeated. When Kunkel ana
Biddie arrived at the theater that night
the comedian was Informed that the dog
wou.- have t. stay outside
Rut she didn't. Kurkel declared that II
Riddle couldn't go on the stage he
wouldn't. Moreover, he said that he was
ptage manager Of the company and that
he would run the stage as ne saw ny.
The def went, and the doorkeeper didn't
lose his job either. The entente cordlale
was badly disturbed for time. but Lotto
finally yielded and the dove OF peace re-
surned the preening of his piumage Bid
die and Lotto, however, no longer speak
as they pass by.
Sneakinr of the attendance officers,
they have kept discreetly away from the
los Angeles theater for the past fort
night. but they are biding their chance,
and doubtless Manager Lotto has not
seen the last of them
Humane Officer Reynolds, however, Wis
tied the theater Wednesday night. He
wanted to hear that verse in the Fairy
Tales song which related his experiences
with Daphne Pollard; and when little
Miss Daphne stepped to the center of the
stage to sing it there was no more inter-
ested man in the audience than the big
humane officer The verse was good
natured burlesque, Fortunately Reynolds
knows how to take a joke. even though
it is on himself and he laughed good
naturedly with the others.
Miss Lillian Albertsou, formerly leading
woman at the Belasco. has written to
Manager John Blackwood letter in which
she says that "The Silver Cir. has made
