shaving the novelist asked him why
he did not sell the tickets given him

his plays were produced.
"To whom conld sell them?" asked
the author Of the "'rhree Musketeers
"Why. to me. II Won like" replied For
cher. And what would you do with
thcm?" asked Dumas. "1hats my
business" replied the barber. contin

One or, two are not sr'!i"ient for my
purpose" responded Porcher 81 must

simple yet practical reply.
Dumas at that moment WAS very
badly in need Of money. so h" ut on

shortly after this gave m shaving and

with other authors and quickly be
came rich.
