A young man in a responsible post

his employer for an increase in salary
the other day.
"Why do you want more than you've
been getting?" queried the boss.
well, I'm doing two mems work

month. I've got good many demands
on me that you don't know anything

I,know one Of them. anyway re-

you eating with her at the Waldorf

JUST A woMAn,s L,1rLE JOKE.
How 1t Led to a Suit at Law and
Serious Complications.

Mrs. Margaret Gatty, one Of Brat
tleboro's wittiest society women,
planned and enacted a joke; now she
Is the defendant in an action at law,
while the society of that Vermont city
Is awaiting with glee the outcome of
the affair, says the Boston Post.
1t all emanated from a bright idea"
conceived by Mrs. Gatty and few of
her society friends who had become
firmly convinced that James III. Hook
er, attorney and wealthy clubman, was
working altogether too hard and need
ed a little diversion to distract him
from the righteousness of so busy a
one day recently, while the young
attorney sat at his desk with papers
piled high on each side and an amount
OF work beside him that promised Ito
keep him. in his office into the wee
small hours of the night, the telephone
at his elbow rang.
Taking up the receiver Mr.. Hooker
listened to the apparently distracted
voice of Mrs. Gatty, one of his ac-
quaintances. Mrs. Gatty appeared to
be greatly overwrought and explained
that a dreadful attempt had just been
made to swindle her out of a sum of
money. that the alleged swindler had
left handbag behind, and would Mr..
Hooker come-up Immediately and open
che bag and discover, If possible, the
identity Of the guilty person.
The young lawyer hastily clapped
on his hat and fastened up to Mrs.
Gatty's fashionable residence.
He was ushered into the drawing
room and the bag was shown him.
Without further parley t. 9 lawyer
opened the bag and extracted q nice
yellow lemon. Then the light broke
upon the attorney and amid the tit
terings which emanated from different
reeesses Of the drawing room he
bowed and withdrew, after declaring
gracefully that he felt that the case
was settled and trusted that his client
would be no longer disturbed.
A little later Mrs. Gatty received q
bill for services made out in the usual
form. Under the conviction that this
bill was merely the humorous revenge
by Mr.. Hooker for the joke played
upon him the bill was pigeonholed.
Much to her CONSERVATION q sheriff
appeared recently at Mrs. Gatty's
home and served the papers in a suit
for fees due to Mr. Hooker for serv-
Ices. -"
The whole city Is interested in Law

lions have already been formed.

"Bright Eyes.

Bright Eyes is the booking for the
National Theater for the week beginning
December s. This new musical play is bS
the same authors as the Three Twins,
Charles Dickson having written the book
Otto Hauerbach the lyrics and Kari
Hoschna the music. The story is based
on the popular farce Mistakes WIN rap
pen" which was for several years a great
success. It closely follows that OF
the former farce, the only changes made
being those necessary in order to intro
duce the musical numbers.
The story is that OF Tom Genowin an
actor. who has written musical play,
and of his efforts and those OF his wife
to have 1t produced. The story itself is
said to be Interesting and logical as well
as humorous, and Hauerbachs lyrics and
Hoschna's music unusually tuneful ana
catchy.
Joseph NJ Gates. the producer of the
play. who also gave Three Twins" to the
stage, has furnished very elaborate
scenic equipment and has introduced a
number Of novel electric and mechanical
efYects. The east includes Cecil Lean and
Florence Holbrook.

cludes Nance O'Neil. Julia Dean. Charles
Cartwright, Bruce McRae. Dodson Mitch
ell. Leo Ditrichstein and a half dozen
other players Of national reputation.
1.-THE David Belasco Company" de-
clares Mr. Belasco. ..is an ideal organiza-
ton from which to draw casts for tn
production Of the four new plays which
/ shall henceforth produce from time 10
time each year. I shall feature no star
in The Lily Just as have featured no
star In rs Matrimony a Failure?' though
I shall not set these as any presidents
for myself in the future. Where l have
occasion to produce play which logic
ally calls for q star role, l shall assign
to that role an artistic adequate to Its re-
quirements. But, on the other hand.
when produce play like The Lily. a
play which requires even unto Its least
significant role the most finished artistry,
l shall require that all personalities be
subordinated, that all personal vanity and
egotism on the part of the individual
player be subordinated and made sub
servient to the greater interests of the
dramatic whole.
"As for The Lily itself. all I am now
prepared to say Is that 1t is an adaptation
from Messrs. Wolff and Leroux's Les
Lys' which as originally presented two
years ago at the Vaudeville Theater in
Paris took all France by storm. 1t IS.
1 believe, by reason Of its original and
naive theme, a drama which will arouse
much discussion. When it comes TO the
question of subject matter, I may say
briefly that that Of The Lily is too deli
cate and subtle to shadow forth in any
brief statement. Suffice to say that 1t is
a drama Of sex, but that the particular
phase Of the sex problem dealt with
represents a wide departure from that of
any of the sex dramas so called that
have gone before

ON the New York Telegraph


Columbia University boys have taken a
step in the matter of reform that will
meet with commentator. They have bar
red mustaches. When the college year
opened there appeared on the campus
many youths wearing small hedges on
their upper lips. much to the distress of
the smooth-faced. These mustached
youths gave themselves many airs and,
noting their number. decided that they
could not be happy until they had or
ganized q club.
They met, admired the hairy growth on
the upper lips of one another. formed an
organization bearing the simple name OF
the Order of the Petit Mustachios. Fool.
ishness? Certainly 1t was. and their col
lege mates soon let them know it, In
all the pride of joyous youth these with
the mustaches applied to the governing
body Of the university. the student board
for a charter. This serious organization
decided that the Order of the Petit Mus
tachios would mot benefit the univer-
sity."
The organizers stroked their petit
mustaches and disbanded. Now if they
will remove the hair from their upper
Inns all will be well.
