Say, you, Tommy Herkimer!" Miss
Clancy called threateningly. See
what you're doing to my wash!"
Tommy grinned up at her and gave
the fire another stirring. Great clouds
Of smoke and black smudges wavered
upward, seeking the chaste whiteness

Game

The man was going to get married.
He had sown his wild oats, and now
he meant to settle down. Well off,
good looking. first-rate sportsman, a
favorite with men and women alike.
the Fates spinning busily had smiled
upon him at birth and had woven only
gold threads in the wool of his life.
For years he had lived the life of
the smart young man about town. He
had done the same thing in the usual
way he had been neither very good
nor bad; in his own words, the favor
lite words of British youth, he had al
ways tried to play the game"
II was because he felt 1t incumbent
upon him to play the game that he
decided to tell the woman he was go
ing TO marry of certain newly closed
episode in his life. The consideration
that perhaps it would be as well for
her to hear the tale from him first
hand, instead OF embroidered with lies
on foundation of truth, as she might
hear 1t from some one else, may have
counted for something, too.
But the reason he gave himself as
he knotted his tie carefully before the
mirror on the fateful morning OF con-
fession was that he must play the
game"

MRS. HOOD LOSES
POINT IN HER SUIT
Allegation Stricken Out as
Scandalous and She Must
Give Husband Inventory.

Richard Haden Hood, the wealthy
his wife for divorce, and is himself
suing for $4,000 in personal property
in the Plainf1eld house, won a point
in his suit today. His victory was in
the form of an objection to certain
paragraphs in his wife's answer, and
Vice Chancellor Stevens sustained
Chauncey Parker, Mr.. Hoods attor-
ney, in each one.
The first paragraph that Mr.. Par
ker objected to referred to the suit
brought for divorce by Mrs. Frances
Sparks Hood in October 1912, and
which is still pending. 1t charges
undue relations with young woman
on a steamship and in Europe, and
Mr.. Parker asked that this be
stricken out on the graund that 1t
has no bearing on the present mo-
ton and was 'impertinent, scandal
Gus and irrelevant"
The vice-chancellor ordered this
done, and further upheld Mr. Hoods
attorney by ordering that Mrs. Hood
set forth an inventory of her house,
hold goods and her claim to title, in
asmuch as she will not allow her
husband to enter the place.
Hood says his etchings, paintings
bronzes. rugs and personal jewelry
are still in the house and that he is
excluded from getting possession of
them
George w. McCarter, in opposing
the motion, said Mrs. Hood had al
lowed her husband on one occasion
20 enter the hme to get his private
books and papers But the vice
chancellor held that Hood is entitled
to Mrs. Hoods reasons for excluding
him firm the house and on just what
she lays claim to these. He set Sep
TENDER IL as the date for hearing in
the divorce case
