POLL PLAYERS IN
 "A PAIR OF SYKES"

As New Years Eve is an evening of fun. the current attraction at Polls theater, "A Pair of Sixes," is an ideal one for the beginning. of the fun which will abound everywhere to- night. Without serious thought in it and built only for laughing pur- poses it is a comedy play that keeps the audience in a continued uproar of laughter from the start to the very finale. Those who want to start to- nights observance with a three-hour laugh will have the opportunity if they attend the performance at Polls. "A Pair of Sixes' is proving one of the most delightful farces that Poli patrons have seen and the manner in which they are receiving it is ample evidence of the manner in which it is being presented by the Players. Its story is funny and the situations which arise during the development of the story are hilarious. to say the least. Next weeks production, "Under Gov er,'' is one of the most successful plays ever written by the versatile and pro- life playwright, Roi Cooper Megrue. Tn the style for which Megrue is not ed, he tells a story of romance, secret service and smuggling that has never yet ldlleu Co grip dIl duuleHCe. L IT. der Cover" is me1Odrama with a good old-fashioned criminal story woven around the habit of a certain class of women and men smuggling goods through the customs and the fixing of the offense of grating and blacllmailing on a crooked official by the clevernes of the secret service. Incidentally a society girl is embroil- ed in the crOOker officials nisdoings which give an unusual savor to the piece. There are several big parts in the play. thus affording all of the favorites an opportunity to be seen to decided advantage. The play will be given twice daily throughout the week at the regular scale of popular prices.

After Christmas Jottings

There's one thing I've made up my mind to do before next Christmas. I wonder if you'll care to do it, too?
 For a New Years gift for myself I'm going to buy a little notebook, and in it Pm going to jot down the glove, shoe, stocking etc., sizes of the various people for whom usually buy Christmas gifts. I'm going to do that right now while no one suspects that I have any utter for motive in asking. I'm going to keep that little notebook in my shop ping bag, and then when I see a chance to buy a gift at a sale sha'n't be afraid to buy lest the size won't be right.
 I don't know how many times this past year I missed chances like that because l wasn't sure of the size. Sometimes I've spent perfect ly good money telephoning to find out, and other times even that wasn't possible. Of course you can't always exchange goods bought at sales and even when that privi- lege is allowed, the other sizes of the goods will probably be sold out long before Christmas.
 How About That Attic?

It arrived too late to be published before Christmas, but there's New Years Day still to come. don't approve of making this day to exchange gifts among friends. but this Cor any other day) Is the ideal time to share with those who are in want.

 Another thing that would be helpful is furniture in usable con- dition. There are so many attics filled with discarded but still useful articles, and so many homes needing chairs and tables and almost every thing else.'
 Tomorrow is New Years Day. Start the year right by getting rid of some of those things in your gar-e ret that are only impedimenta to you and that would be blessings to someone else. And if you want your New Year to be doubly blest by a good beginning, send a thaNs and hope offering of as much money as you can spare (and then some more) with them.
 Reading Together But Not Aloud.

 But she went on; We can't get along fast enough, reading aloud, and then it tires our throats Sp we divide the books into pairs and he reads one and the other. Then we exchange.

Why Dicky Quoted Jack. "Where have you been?"


 Dicky's tone was peremptory. had hoped to get back from my early t,ip to Mrs. Stewards home before he awoke, but when I entered our own door he was sitting by the win dow.
 "Out for a walk" I hated myself for the evasion, but I knew if l told Diclxy the truth, that I had made hurried trip to my old landlady's to prevent the possibility of her telling Jack Bickett I was married before 1 saw him myself, another scene would be the inevitable result
 "Humph!' Dicky sneered disagree ably. II suppose you are so upset over the prospective arrivel of that gor-that girlhood admirer of yours that you had to take a walk to calm your nerves"
 Dicky had started to say that gor- fila with the mumps,' which was the epithet he had applied to Jack when he saw his photograph. But evidently ho remembered my warning that if he persisted in using the phrase would cease to be civil to his friends.
 Aren't you being a bit idiotic Dicky?" I answered quietly as I went to my room to lay off my wraps.
 He did not answer, and when I re- turned to the living room he was reading newspaper. He was in dulging himself in a fit of the sulks, I knew, but I resolved to be as good humored as possible.
 Have you had your breakfast?" I asked, trying to make my voice eheery.
 "Yes," he answered, without rais- ing his eyes from the paper. I knew better than to continue the conversation. so I took up a book and sat down in a low chair to pretend to read, for I was too upset to settle to anything.
 How unreasonable Dicky was! He he'd expected me to admit Lillian Gale to my friendship, although gossip said that Dicky had been madly in love with her when he was younger, and that she was still interested in him. He. had been angry when he fancied that my manner was not quite friend ly enough to Miss Draper, the beauti- flu, girl whom we had met at Marvin, and whom Dicky had engaged as a model He had also promised to as- sist her with her art studies.
 And here he was sulking like a
  dine with the best friend my mother and had ever had, who had been in South America for a year, and did | not even know I was married! "Till I sec You." One thing I saw clearly. I must ] get Dicky to go away before I tele- 1 phoned Jacks hotel, or took any chance of his telephoning me. I could risk scene such as Dicky 1 might make.
 It was cruel of Dicky to be so ugly about Jack, I said to myself. It would be so pleasant for me if the 1 two men could be friends Katie's entrance into the living 1 hesitatingly into the room, as was 1 a favor.
 'I have cup of coffee for you, you ] come and drink it now" she said in- sinuatingly.
 No, thank you, Katie" I answered Perhaps after a while, but I could 1 not drink it now''
 You say you not here to dinner ?'' NO, we are both dining out" I answered, then with a sudden though turned to Dicky. You are going t, Mrs. Underwood's for dinner, are yo, not ?"
