drawers? had said grandly to Dlcky that l would dress in the bath room, but there was no place there to put my things. I had also said that 1 would rent room in the building for myself, but in my heart I knew that l would never do it. When Dicky, only a few evenings before, had proposed to turn over his hank account to me, I to take charge of all our expenditures, I had de- termined to run things as economical ly as possible. The added rental of another room was not to be thought of. I felt, too, that the purchase of a dressing table or chiffonier for my self would be an expense l would not care to incur.
 But, in the meantime, what was l to do With my things? As if in answer to my question, Katie ap- peared in the doorway.
 "Wot you doing, Misses Graham ?" she asked in wide-eyed amazement.
 "I am trying to decide where to put my things, Katie" I replied helplessly. "You see. I am going to give Mir. Graham's mother this room."
 'Where you sleep? Katie looked Delligerent.

"OUINNEYS' AT THE
 PARSONS THEATER
79zc,-

"Quinneys,' the play from the novel, took London by storm at the very time, in May, 1915, when Zeppelins were also trying to take it by storm. and ordinary theater audiences were exceedingly small. But possibly it was relief to war-bOund London to forget it's cares in the natural and delightful comedy of this human play. That quality of humanness, already discussed in regard to "Quinneys in novel form, has made it wonder fully possible to dramatize the book. The play opened an engagement at the Parsons theater this afternoon and will also be seen tonight and tomor- row night. It is to be presented by the original London company from the Haymarket theater.
 1t will be like Broadway trans planted to Hartford when Town Topics" the gigantic musical play from the Century theater, New York, is shown at the Parsons theater on New Years Eve and twice on New Years Day. The production is under the direction of the Messrs. Shubert.

The new character man, or at least new to New Britain, is MT. White, an actor of vast experience. He was the character man at the Lexington Ave nue theater in one of the best stock companies ever organized. He has recently closed as the Solicitor in Peg O. My Heart'' Mir. White can play the banker or the rube equally well.

"NEARLY MARRIED'

Nearly .Married' the New Year at traction at The Lyceum, is being re- hearsed with great care and fore thought. It is a very complicated farce and requires unlimited rehear- sals. Nearly Married is funny, it's situations complicated and absurd. The auto flight and the partners of a young divorced couple, eloping on their second ascent to nuptial bliss. is the keynote to sequence of com edy situations which gave the play its long run at The Gaiety Theater year ago Alfred Cross and Julie Herne as the young bride and groom, should be very funny as they both love comedy.

Tomorrow's Luxuries

A stenographer in a big business house told me this little incident the other day. The cashier was unusually anxious to get away promptly. "Im going to the dressmaker to- night she explained. If I don't, I'll have to wear a cotton waist to- morrow"
 Think of it! She'd have to wear a cotton waist to work. What a disgrace!
 Of course you may think that the cashier is simply one very foolish girl. But she is more than that. She is a straw which shows which way the wind is blowing. And it is both as- tonishing and alarming to see how strong that wind is A dear old lady was talking to me the other day about her grand niece.

POLL PLAYERS IN
 "A PAIR OF SIXES'

"A Pair of Sixes," the Edward Peple appearing this week, occupies a unique position among the current comedy successes. With a record of a years run in New York and correspondingly long runs in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and other large cities, this play has come to be known as "the royal flush" farce of America. Its title gives an inkling that a poker game plays 8 very important part in the story. Two business men are unable to continue, 8 poker game is played and a pair of sizes wins, the loser haV- ing agreed to become the winners servant for a period of one year. All sorts of complications arise following the installation of the losing partner as the others butler. Edward Peple has written many unusually clever lines and unique situations into the play. Mr. Gleckler appears as the losing partner and buetler while Mir. MacQuarrie is the other partner. Miss Farr is the buffers sweetheart. Helen Haskell, who this week joined the Players, plays the wife. All of the favorites have pleasing roles and assist in the merrymaking. Next weeks attraction Is Under Cover" Roi Cooper Megrue's melodrama, a play that has proven sensation wherever it has been presented and classed with the best "thrillers" of the day.
