But the announcement was not
g 81 Ms cLURe NEWSPAPERS SYNDICATE

| But the announcement was not
| made.
The Man was the most desirable
catch in town. Aside from this the
| heart of The Girl with the Clever
| Tongue was involved. She had made
up her mind from the first to ensnare
The Man, and now that she knew that
| mined than ever. She never doubted
| that she could, for it had been her
| pastime to bring men to her feet only
| to send them about their business
| again with her singing sarcasms ran
| king in their hearts.
The-Girl-with-the-Cle was
well aware that her large following of
admirers expected some definite con-
summation of the open court paid her
by The Man, and 1t stung her pride
that she had nothing to report.
He laughed at her clever sallies. He
enjoyed vying with her in her game
Of brilliant repartee. He was proud
of her popularity, but for some reason,
which The-Girl-with-the-Cl
could not understand, he did not ask
her to marry him.
Once in a great while it reached her
ears that The Man was still friends
with The-Girl- More-K Than-Clever,
but it gave her no concern.
"a man doesn't marry Oore!" she
remarked, and then made it a point tc
be little more scathing and personal
in her sarcasms whenever she CHANGED
to meet The-Girl-More-Kind- Than-Clev-
er.
The-Girl-with-the-C lever-Tongue had
not seen The Man for several weeks
when he invited her to dance. She
heard he had been out of the city.
Someone said that he had been to see
The-Girl-M ore-Kind-T han-Cleve who
had not come home from the noun
tains, but The-Girl-with-the-Cl Clever
Tongue hooted at the very idea. And
she made up her mind to put stop to
such rumors.
She put on the prettiest frock she
owned-the one The Man had so much
admired, and determined that she
would bring him up to the point of
asking her hand in marriage.
Never in all her life was she more
entertaining. Never more scintillat-
ing with wit The Man was frankly
delighted to see her again, frankly

NAY! DID you ever stray away from
- home of an evening and go to one
~ of those no rIor riofc9

NAY! DID you ever stray away from
home Of an evening and go to one
of those parlor riots?
Friend wife called it musicale, but
to me it looked more like a session OF
the Mexican congress in a boiler fac
tory.
They pulled it off at Mrs. Luella
F'rothingham's, over on the Drive.
| like Luella and like her husband,
Jack rockingham, so it's no secret
conclave of the Anvil Association
when 1 whisper them wise that the
next time they give musical evening
my address is Forest Avenue, corner
of Foliage Street, in the woods.
The Frothinghams are nice people
and old friends and they have more
money than some folks have hay, but
that doesn't give them a license to
spoil one of my perfectly good eve
nings by sprinkling a lot of canned
music and fricasseed recitations all
over it.
The Frothinghams have skeleton
In their closet. It's name is Uncle
Heck and he weighs 237-not bad for
q skeleton. Uncle Heck is Joe Nor
gan. His sole ambition in life is to
become politely picked and fall asleep
draped over a gold chair in the draw
ing room when there's high-class COM
pany present.
For that reason the Frothinghams
on state occasions put the skids under
Uncle Heck and run him off stage till
after the final curtain.
On some occasions Uncle Heck
breaks through the bars and dashes
into the scene of refinement with
merry quip and jest to the confusion
of his relatives and the ill-concealed
amusement of their guests.
This was one of those occasions.
Early in the evening Jack took
Uncle Heck to his room, sat him in
front of quart of vintage and left the
old geezer there to slosh around in the
surf until sleep claimed him for its
own.
But before the wine was gone Uncle
Heck put on the gloves with Nor
pheus, got the decision, marched down
stairs and into the drawing room,

Tongue who had stirred his sluggish
wits in order that they might follow
her swift flowing stream of repartee.
The Man sang her praises, declaring
that she was just the sort OF girl a
man needed to hold him up to MS
highest possibilities, and The-Girl-
e-Kind-Than-Cleve answered me-
chanically, bordering the strange
ways of life-and of men-in her
sweet and simple heart.
The Man had been paying court to
the-CleverTongue for SIX
months. She had kept him in leash by
the power of her wit and the charm OF
her vivacity, and she felt that MS
heart was an ally of his admiration.
They were seen much together, ana
the brilIiance of The Mans wit was
beginning to win an equal fame WIN

it was her cleverness which ne re-

charmed with her brilliance and her
beauty, and those who saw them TO-
gether at the dance were perfectly
sure that the matter of their marriage
had been settled and everybody said
that it would be a fitting and bril-
liant match.
When The Man and The-Girl-with-
the-Clever-Tongue reached the latters
home, the manner of The Man was
quite impersonal as he babe her good
night and his companion wondered
greatly as she went slowly to her
room. for she was perfectly conscious
that no one had been spared the hurt
of her sarcastic thrusts that her bril-
lance might carry The Man quite Oh
his feet that night.
A week later a friend met The Man
and congratulated him upon the an
nouncement of his engagement to The
Girl-More-Kind-Tha n-Clever, admitting
his surprise.

as good as engaged to The-Girl-with-

MOVIES" FAIL TO
 EXALT PATRIOTISM
ExpIoiters of Films Blame Censors and Latter Claim Producers Lack
 Proper Inspirati tion.

Paris, April 31.-Moving pictures have been unequal to the occasion, the press and the public declaring that they have done little to either portray or exalt patriotic sentiment. Ex- ploiters of films blame the censor, while the censor reports that produc- CTS of picture-plays lack proper in piration. Cinematograph directors gave a private view of films exhibited in other countries and even in some of the French provincial cities, but pro- hibited in Paris, to prove their case. Among the things to which the pre- feet of police objected were scenes of German prisoners captured in the Vinay Woods near Epernay, German prisoners at the camp of fingers, a French village showing tombs of Ger man soldiers after a battle, films de- picting the destruction Of churches and villages by fire and bombardment besides numerous picture-plays pre- senting soldiers and Red Cross uni- forms not in actual service.
 The general opinion of tl1e notabil- ities invited to this representation was that the censor was perfectly Justified in cutting out imaginary war and hos pital scenes, holding that they were unworthy to represent the heroisia and devotion of the soldiers and nurses. A contrary opinion was held, however, regarding certain films of actual happenings The result has been that government has authorized four representative cinematograph concerns to take moving pictures of war scenes at the front. In the mean time moving picture houses are de- pending largely upon old films to en- tertain their public, which is gradual ly growing smaller.
 French wit has always found a wide field of effort in the caricaturins of public officials of all grades and departments. Martial law has given latter their first oportunity to revenge themselves. Any film reflecting upon, belittIing or holding up to ridicule any functionary of the government is pit ilessly censored.
 The result of the limitations put up on directors of moving picture houses has been to give unusual prominence to American films
