and entertaining as its title. 1t deals
with a theme that is daring and deli

problem In every day life. The author
MI. Pascoe, in his development of the
theme has produced characters and
situations that amaze one with the
wonderful frankness of the ~delineation
Avoiding the old well worn lines lait
down by most playwrights he has pro
duced a play that shows clearly his be
lief that there are men who are no
tailor dummies, heroes who can show
their manhood by nobler signs than
contempt for all decency, and heroine'
who sometimes blush and whose hearts
respond to the real passion that makes
the world go round. He evidently be-
lieves that our everyday life, the g
motions that constantly assail us, fol-
good or bad, the complex situationi
that constantly occur in the lives of al
men.and women form a good plot fo
q play. Mr.. Pascoe makes a most de
termined assault a common, tho unit
this time avoided, fault of our every
day life and the unusualness of THU
theme and his daring treatment of
has won for him a well merited sue

WOMEN IN WALL STREET.
They Are Good Winners, but Drown
Their Losses In Tears.


Their Losses In Tears.
10 many brokers women are hoo
docs, and some stock exchange houses
refuse absolutely to have anything to
do with the fair sex. The majority Of
brokerage firms try their best to keep
women's speculative accounts out Of
their Offices. Some houses are obliged
to take women's accounts as a matter
Of personal friendship, but they will
not open accounts for other women, no
matter how we'll they may be intro
duced.
Wall street men do not have a high
opinion of the average woman's bust
ness sense. Most women have an idea
that one needs only to get a "tip"
from some 'insider' in Wall street to
be sure Of making '*barrels Of money!
for new gowns. hats and jewelry.
The dictum Of Wall street is that
women are good winners. but bad
losers. 1t is difficult to reason about
money and business with an angry or
weeping woman. Her view of Wall
street and all it's works suddenly be-
comes entirely emotional, and only q
broker with infinite patience can calm
her. Many a time a stock exchange
house has taken a woman customers
loss rather than face her tears.-Strand

Just as we crowded about him to see if
he still lived, our faces as white as
his, the bell rang for the resumption

The last boy in was Walton. and
just as he fell rather than sat down in
his seat the master shouted, "Come
out here instanter"' He gave him a
fogging that made the fall from the
tree seem the lesser of the two evils.
