can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does It SO naturally

The theater and supper parties were
to both occur in Broadway! All,
Broadway! 1t would be hard to leave

leads out Of the light into the shad-

1t occurred to Broadway Jones that
he might decently accept this invita-

would have would probably be not
quite to his liking. All, there were
crowds upon the tkoroughfare he
loved which were SO fully to his ik-

And then another plan flashed into
his mind. Why not give a farewell
supper? No one but himself would
know it was a farewell supper-all the
rest would think it just the best af-
fair of many fine affairs which Broad

which gave it would be paid undoubt-

would be better to make it a supper

called Rankin, and, to that staid serv-

turning to the study he took the poi

drawer had but one He refused again
