time he met with the new tangled cleo
trio cigar lighter at hotel. Harold
appeared in the lobby with a Perfecto
He approached the cigar stand but
was slightly bothered at not seeing the
usual gas light burning like beacon
on one side of the case.
Instead a nickleplated disc greeted
his appearance. He pondered a mo-
ment and then per instructions struck
the unlighted end of the cigar against
the oval disc. A moments notice and
the cigar was burning.
There is some class to this kind

Although after four years travel

that there were a few frills in the

FRANCIS SAYLES
Francis SayIes Marries Olga
Worth and Real Love
Story Is Enacted.

Many prosaic persons believe there
is no longer any romance in the world;
that all the unusual love affairs of the
Twentieth century are conjured in the
brains of novelists. The old story of
the hero and the heroine is no longer
given consideration as being plausi-
BILE and to many romance has become
more of a business transaction with
none of the unusual elements.
But there are romances in the
world. The marriage of Francis
Sayles to Miss Olga Worth, leading
lady of the Sayles Stock company,
which has been playing at the Murray
Theatre this season, is the concluding
chapter of an unusual love story of
the stage. Mr.. and Mrs. Sayles were
welded this afternoon, only a few
friends witnessing the ceremony.
During the engagement here, Mr..
Sayles as leading man has wooed and
won. Miss Worth many times. They
have enacted the trials and troubles

out the little filtering glands: neutral

Chinese Music.

The Chinese have eight instruments
for making their ritual music-the bell,
the flute, the drum. the sonorous stone,
the fife. the plume. the shield and the
ak. The last three make no music, but
are used as decoration or emblem in
the musical ceremonies and are emu
merated as musical instruments. In
every ceremony there are always two
instruments Of each kind, sometimes
as many as four or six. never an odd
number. tn order to emphasize the
duality Of the Chinese people. For in
stance, one drum announces the be-
ginning of the music, and its mate
strikes the last note; one bell calls.
and its counterpart answers.
