MAKING A PLAY
How Mr.. Peple Found Material
for "A Pair of Skies"

How would YOU like 10 be the sweet
heart OF a young man who is half part
ner In perfectly healthy and successful
business and then visit his partners wife
to find that your fance was employed
there as n butler?
or. how would YOU Ike to be the wife
Of a young man who owns the other half
Of that same business. and find that be-
cause he has won in II game Of cards he
must conduct the entire business which
demands 50 much of mis- time that he is
| unable 10 be at home more than one or
TWO evenings each week;
Or. how would YOU like TO be the stenoe-
rapher in the offices OF the same firm
comprising the same two young men. and
have to resign your position because each
che SAYS he is the senior partner and each
! one will discharge YOU IL YOU show prefer
