book of yours. I've often wondered
what you were doing out there and
asked TRULY O'Steen If you were so
lonesome since your wife went away
that it had gone to your head, your
mania being to go the ball games and
sit out on a bench in the sun putting
down funny looking things in that
book, which couldn't see what they

his clever and beautiful little wife,
Flora Parker De Haven, the stars in
the Bluebird Photoplay, The Wrong
Door," which comes to the Casino
theater on July 25th.. There was
nothing "up stage" about them.
There was nothing about them that
intimated that they were descending
below the level of their very proper
dignity in becoming affiliated with
a picture concern. They were reg
ular fellows" and showed so plainly
that they were real folks that 1t was
with sincere regret that the remain
ing Bluebird players saw them An
ish their feature and start away with
a machine-load Of trunks and bag
gage. When they arrived back at
the Bluebird studio to begin THE
Wrong Door," and also a longtime
contract for pictures with the Blue

tors who had enjoyed their former
short stay were as delighted as
though they had received an increase
in salary.

spot you generally try to be when
the bill collector comes around, and
the number of bottles you generally
crave on a hot day. Speaking OF bot
ties. l think if you made practice
of taking a bottle of Chero-Cola just
before YOU start to a ball game, 1t
would put you in a better frame OF
mind. and by the time you got out to
the grounds you would sit up kinder
close to me and forget that old book.
I'd be glad to divide my time with
YOU and also my Chero-Cola, for ev-
erv few minutes when I'm at a ball
game l drop a gentle hint about it
being so hot and "how dry Gam"

I'll let you drink half Of every bot
tie he pays for, but you had better
watch him, for he might send you a
bill for it on the first. l understand
he does send out little reminders
about jewelry and other things that
people buy and forget to pay him for,
and I'm afraid he has the habit so
that he might send you a bill for
about a Darrell of Chero-Cola If you
sit next to me-for that looks like
about your size.
