70 support herself she became n
model. The artists looked upon Emily
~ . ward and arranged to give her
enough posing to pay for her living.
I'VE often wondered how Emily
managed to exist before We found out
how poor she was and how much
every hour OF work she could GET
counted: for she was proud and would
not accept one nickel more than sbe
honestly earned.
emily had inherited from her own
mother Saratoga trunk. which was
the storehouse Of her treasures apd
no enormous that she could not place
1t In the hall bedroom which she
called home. For several years | al
lowed her to keep the trunk In my
studio. When she wanted any Of her
belongings she would come in and
greet me In most businesslike man
ner and hardly exchange a word OF
conversation while she rummaged
among her conglomeration OF odds
and ends.
AT eighteen Emily succeeded In
getting an engagement with road
company OF a musical comedy pro-
ducion. During the busy weeks OF
rehearsal her small savings went very
fast. Almost penniless she was forced
to borrow n quarter now and then:
TN she owed me about $l.25.
Before the company left town
Emily told me she would be unable
to pay her small debt until she
reached Buffalo. l asked her II she
was going to take her trunk and she
said she would leave II as security
for the 3l.25. ! begged her not to be
absurd. but without avail. And ac-
cording to her promise she sent me
the amount Of her debt from Buffalo.
"A short time later l received in
structions to express the trunk to
Chicago. Emily enclosed IS to defray
the cost Of shipping.
THE young press agent for the COM
pany had used his influence to have
the trunk sent to Emily at the theat-
rical managers expense. He had
fallen in love with Emily at sight:
had proposed to her In Chicago. had
been accepted in San Francisco. and
had married her in Seattle.
ION their return to New York the
newly wed couple came to see me and
invited me to share their first dinner
In the coy little apartment which
had n storeroom large enough to hold
the Saratoga trunk that Emily de-
ciared she would never give up."

Rarely do We md one with soul SO
dead who hasn't a hobby or isn't in
the process Of getting one. Too many
hobbies spoil the business broth. Yet.
again. there are good hobbies and bad

and vice versa. Therefore in double
harness, at least. a few general hints.
we'll considered. might avert unneces-
sary breakdowns on the marriage
roads. Some OF these timely ones are |:
Don't hope to keep hobby In which
you get all the pleasure and your wife
has TO do all the hard work. II your
hobby In cameras. don't let the extent
of your work be taking the snapshots
and let your wife do the develop

Don't spend all your money on your

wife's flower garden. II that happens

I Don't say "a married woman must
settle down." II Your wife wants to
take lessons In singing or dancing In
her spare moments. She may prove
a better companion than tho stay-at-
home wife.
Don't practice on the cornet for
endless hours Your wife may be fond
of REAL music. Take your hard
practising to remote part OF the
house.
Don't assert your authority II your
wife wants to join suffrage club or
nm anti suffrage society. She has a
right to her opinion and perhaps Is
not asked when you want to join
your lodge.
Don't have q collection OF canes,
and then make fun Of your wife's
weakness for new wells.
Don't insist Oh taking your wife 10
musical comedies. which are your
particular pleasure, and refuse to
take her to an OCCASIONAL problem play
on the ground that you need some
thing light.
And above all. ride your hobby and
don't let your hobby rtAs you.

tragedy: that on the day he was shot,
Fish. who was under the 1nnuence "
