 credit" for which he makes appeal in song and speech, for bringing to- gether an exceptionally attractive chorus and ballet, and it is asserted that the present seasons aggregation eclipses his best previous accomplish ments in this particular. Thirty-six "stunningly" pretty girls are said to have been secured, and the Reeves standard in the matter of costume equipment for them, it is reasonable to assume, has been fully maintained. The musical numbers for this seasons show have been carefully chosen. There will be matinee every day.

'There's one consolation about this weather" said the Lady-wh always knows somehow, as she laid down the afternoon paper and took up a palm leaf fan.

 How We Pat Ourselves On the Back

 The way we pat ourselves on the back over excrutiatingly hot weather is another interesting phase of hot weather psychology.
 When I was in a newspaper office l was surprised to find that the hot weather was often the lead story (that is, the story considered the most important and hence played so that when the paper lies folded on the newsstand it will be visible.) Ere quently there would be several pieces of news in the office that seemed to me much more important.

Why Dicky Did Not Relish the Ap- pearance of Dr. Petit Upon
 the Scene

the Scene.
 "Ah! Mrs. Graham, this is an unex- pected pleasure.'
 Dr. Pettft's eyes looked down into my own with an expression that em- rhasized the words he had just uttered. His outstretched hand clasped mine warmly, his impressive greeting embarrassed me a bit, and turned instinctively toward Dicky to see if he had noticed the young phy- stcian's extraordinarily cordial greet ing.
 But this I had no opportunity to dis cover, for as I turned a taxi drew up to the curb where the Underwoods, Dickv and I were waiting for the little Cresthaven Beach trolley, and Dicky sprang to meet Grace Draper and the Durkees-Alfred and his mother, who completed our party for the motor boat trip.
 'I am very glad to see you Dr. Pet tit," I murmured conventionally, then hurriedly: Pardon me moment, I must greet these guests. I will be back
 When I turned again to him after welcoming Grace Draper with forced frtendliness, and the Durkees with the real warmth of liking I felt for them, I found him talking to Lillian. "Of course I remember you, Mrs. Underwood" he was saying. "I never shall forget the skill and presence of mind with which you handled that baby in culvultions the night I first saw all of you"
 "That was nothing at an," returned Lillian indifferently, "just what every woman ought to be able to do.'' "But, unfortunately, few women l have those qualities in the degree you 1 possess them,'' returned the physician ] gallantly.
 well, Dr. Petit" Diclzy came up l at this juncture, "out for the day?
 His tone was cordial enough, but I, who knew every infection of Dicky's voice, realized that he did not relish 1 the appearance of Dr. Petit upon the 1 scene.
 "Yes, Pm going down to the shore l for a dip,' the young physician re- turned. And then without a trace of l the stiff dignity which I had seen in his professional manner he acknow- ledged the introductions which I gave | him to Grace Draper and the Durl1ees. l Both Harry Underwood and Lillian, l of course, needed no introduction to 1 linn.

The second event, 2:l8 class trot-
ting, for $1,000, was won by Ridge
mark, bay gelding piloted by Tray

heat and then took three first places
in succession. Truesada, a bay mare,
driven by Cox, was first under the
wire in the opening heat.

uled events in trot to lower the
track of 2:05A made by Goldie C last
Tuesday, and did it easily, covering
the oval in 2:0434.
