covering of his face and showed her
the burnt-out bones beneath. The shift
from what she remembered him to
What he now appeared was too rapid
and considerable for her. , She found
herself looking at him through a mist
of tears-there in the heart of pub
licity, in the middle of the circle of
red velvet c%urtains,
He turned and saw her. h watched
a smile of the frankest pleasure rising,
as 1t were, to the surface of his weary
lreoccupation. Something had de-
liehted him. Why, it was herself-just
her being there! And she could only
helplessly blink at him. Was ever my
thing SO stupid as to be caught in
tears over nothing. For the next mo-
ment he had caught her. She knew
by the change of his look, i~nterroga-
tive, amused, i~ncredulous. He straight
ened and leaned forward.
Really" he said. you must remem-
Der that little nan has only gone out
for a glass of beer"
So he thought it was the tenor who
had brought her to the point of tears.
"Ah, why do you say that?" she
protested.
He continued to smile in|dulgently
upon her. would you really rather
believe it truce"

He brought the glare of his monocle
to bear full upon her. why not? 1t

So he had taken that side of it. BY
his words as well as his looks he re-
pudiated all the gallant show of ro-
nance he had paraded to her before,
and had taken up the cause of the
world as fatty as Harry could have
done.
"Oh, if to be sure is all you want"
she burst out; but you don't mean it!
Wouldn't o rather have something
beautiful o weren't sure of, nan
something certain that didn't NATTER
He nodded to this quite casually, as
if it were an old acquaintance.
"Oh, yes; but the time comes round
when you want to be sure of some
thing. The sun never sets twice alike
over Mont Pelee; but you car always
get the same brand of lager today
that you had the week before" He
looked at her with a faint amusement.
And by your expression l take it
you don't know how fine some of those
brands are. Life is not half bad-even
when it is only a means to the beer"
Under these garish lights, in the
middle of this theatre of people, facing
the bland, almost banal, stare of tina
monoele, it looked exceedingly prob
abe that, after all, in spite of her
dreaming, this was what life would
prove to be. But she hated the thought,
as she hated that Kerr should be the

have hated her ring if, after all it's

GAME OF MONTHS.

This game Is played as a sort of
dumb crambo." There is an audience
and thirteen actors. Or a few months
can be suggested, taking months con-
tanning notable holidays.
First comes before the audience the
little New Year. She announces that
her children are coming and TO him
who guesses the most names correctly
viii be given a prize.
Then comes January, with her hand
full of slips of papers, on which are
written good resolutions;" these she
scatters to the audience and goes off
Of course, the months must not come
in succession.
Next may come July, flaming HIM
self, and perhaps swapping a fire
cracker, or iii some other way, not so
plain, suggesting the day that gives
prominence to the month.
Then September, working hard for
Labor Day. or bearing a September
flower or>fruit.
November, with a suggestion of
Thanksgiving, and so on. Birthdays
of noted men may mark the month,
the actor saying or doing something to
recall the man.
The audience must write down who
number one is, two. and so on to the
end. Then comes the year, listens to
the reading of the slips and gives the
prize.

LECTURES WILL BEGIN
ON OCTOBER IL
Proposed Law Branch Would
Not Conflict With the
Local School.

Some thiRty university courses may
be offered in this city during the COM
ing scholastic year according to in
formation given out today at the head
quarters of the Newark University
Board, 70 Park place, which is CO.
operating with the New York Univer-
sity. 1t is the function of the local
board to decide upon the courses to be
offered, select the instructors to be
asked to lecture and to provide ways
and means of financing the courses. in
case the fees charged to students are
not sufficient for the purpose.
1t is expected that the various courses
will appeal not only to teachers and to
those gag in business, but also t.
professional men, to society and club
women and others interested in art,
literature, music, industry, education,
~eivies, journalism, the problems of gov
eminent, finance. law or other phases
of the university work. Indeed, some
OF those connected with the local move
ment, who nave already accumulated a
fair-sized collection of collegiate de-
grees, have openly declared the inten-
tion of enrolling in certain of the
courses, If possible. On the other hand.
the opportunity is afforded for a limi ed
number of special students" whose
scholastic preparation may or nay not
be up to university standards, to enroll
in certain courses, provided no credit
toward a degree is wanted.
Lectures Begin October IL.
The lectures will begin on October
II, except in the case of those sehed-
uled for Tuesday, which will begin a
week earlier in order to compensate
for the loss of time on the new holiday,
Columbus Day, October IL. The courses
extend over thirty weeks, with the
usual holiday vacations.
The courses for teachers are sched-
uled mainly for the afternoons, after
4 O'Clock, and for Saturday mornings.
The business and professional courses
will be given chiefly in the evening,
but some of these courses will be Of

BOOK READERS
VAST INCREASE
Those of Newark Library Have
More Than Doubled in
Past Six Years.

Considerable interest has been
aroused among Newarkers by the
twentieth annual report of the board
of trustees Of the Public Library, rel
Gently made public, through the fact
that Newark ranks third among the
great cities of the country in circula,-
ton per capita of free library books.
Within The past six years the circula-
ton has Increased from 357, 266 to $751;
900, indicating both a rapidly growing
public interest, spurred on by adver-
Using, ands q wise management of the
affairs of the library.
The people that are reached live in
the main within eight of ten blocks of
the Public Library. or the branches,
with he exception of branch No. l.
located in Mechanic street a step from
Broad, which, because of it's proximity
to the -Four Corners, reaches people
from all yer the city. The Public Lii
brary itself gets a great percentage of
the circulation in the northern and
northeastern sections of the city, since

tres. 8.
One of the most significant facts
noted by the library authorities about
the circulation of books is the great
aid rendered to school children, es-
pecially between the ages of eight and
fourteen, of foreign ~parentage, who
begin to read English as soon as
they possibly can. The majority of
these are reached through the school
room collections, of which there are
about $50.
Almost one-third of the books in cir
culation are taken out by students of
the public schools. The branch in the
high school, which is used exclusively
by high school students, has made
itself an almost Indispensable part of
the high school equipment. The differ
ent stations throughout the city are
continually gaining in popularity and
have proved to be me- of the wisest
innovations made by the library in re-
cent years.
Plans are being considered by the
officers of the library for the develops
ment of station No. l in Mechanic
street. Because of its location, it is ex-
pected to be one of the most efficient of
the branches, and in the near future
the number of books there will be
doubled.
One of the main reasons for the in
crease given in the report is the adj
vertising policy hat has been pursued
by the library in assisting the news
papers to print weekly statistics about
the library, and to furnish them with
any interesting facts that crop up in
the week.
