SIDE TALKS
Is He Mean?
BY RUTH, CAMERON

know of him,| have never even met him-but from what I know of his critic
 Criticisms often take half their significance from those who make them.
 And know perfectly well that this critics idea of meanness would be living within ones income and trying to save little.
 She isn't mean! Far from it! She spends every cent her husband earns, keeps him jumping to make more, and even goes into debt to trades- people.
 And not satisfied with living in that unnatural way, she must criticize other people who. will not.
 There are many people like her and they do much harm by the false standards they set. F They Owe Everyone But They Have
 A Good Time.
 know another couple who owe the dentist. the butcher, the grocer, yet go in for all sorts of good times. And when any of their friends will not join them, on the ground of too much expense, they say. "Oh be a sport''
 It's a good thing to be sport Gin (the best sense of this word); it is good to be happy, to live your life in- tensely while you can; but the un- obstrusive yet all important founda- tions of all these goods, the sine qua non is the common honesty of paying ones debts.
 I suppose I sound old fashioned but to me there is no meanness so dis honorable as that which carelessly and needlessly runs into debt.

"rlNE FEATHERS" IS
 GRIPPING DRAMA

The plot of "Fine Feathers" this weeks offering at the Lyceun, might seem commonplace at first glance, but Eugene Walter, it's author, handled it in such a delft manner that it holds the attention of the audience through out. The story deals with the evils of extracagance,-wom passion for finery. A pretty hat bought with the money that should have paid the butchers bill starts the mischief. It makes . man in very modest circum- stances want to give his wife the best that money can buy. His ambition is realized but in dishonest manner and all too soon he realizes that 'the wages of sin is death"
 "Fine Feathers is well presented by the Walter Naylor Players in delightful stage settings. The com- edy of the piece Is supplied by the hired girl who seems to have a mon- opoly on the expression, "Yas'm." Philip Quin is ali that his part calls for, successful business man who come out on top every time. Virginia Perry as the ambitious wife holks asitl

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

"aet in line or beat it. Take your choice quick!''
 Don't Get Frightened" Dicky had to obey. He had no other choice. Privately thought him rather childish in the side play in which he indulged. looking hxedly at tho officers number and then writing it down in his notebook. But of him, and we joined the rear rank of the massed people in line. It was perhaps i've minutes later that I turned my head to look back of me. What I saw frightened me. There seemed as many people back of us as there were in front of us. Inc stead of being in the rear of the tight ly wedged mass of people we were in the middle of it.
 ''Oh, Dicky!" I exclaimed. clutch- ing his arm. Look! s6e how n4any ; people are back of us. Isn't 'this dangerous?" Dicky turned, looked. and then scowled at me.
 Do you mean you want to get out of here?' he asked, and his voice and manner were distinctly unpleasant. I looked around nervously to see if any ] one near us had heard him. If you do, you'd better say so right away, so we may get out while we can.'' The last phrase of his little speech terrified me. saw as clearly as he
 did that in few minutes escape from
 the crowd would be almost impossible.
 But there was such latent scorn in
 Dicky's voice, such contempt for my
 lack of ''gameness'' in not wishing
 to finish something I had begun, that
 in spite of my real nervousness and fear decided to see the thing through no matter what happened. T was not aware that requested you. to get me out of the crowd.'' replied with dignity. TT simply asked if it were not dangerous
 "Al1 right, I'll forgive you this
 time" Dicky answered with one of
 his quick smiles. and then saw him

 followed his eyes, and saw two
 very pretty but delicate looking girls,
 looking appealingly afhim. One had
 only to look at them to see that they
 were of the frflly, helpless, clinging
 vine type which so appeals to mas culine protection. The faces of both wore a frightened look.
 Well! What do you suppose pos- sessed those girls to come into this mob? The asked himself. and, then he called across to them encouragingly:
 Don't get frightened. I'll see you through ;4
 I felt little pang at my, heart He had snapped at me when I had asked if the crowd were dangerous and here he was encouraging the unspoken appeal of these strange girls.

A young married woman in our town was telling me about her brother-in-law one day.

What Happened in the Throng Ina Tried to Get Into the Political
 Meetin0.

Tried to Get Into the Political
 Meeting.
 . Are all these people going to the Garden?' asked the question in amazement of Dicky as we left the subway station nearest Madison Square Garden. People were literally pouring into the streets leading di- rectly to the structure. t,ss
 ''Sure," returned Dicky. And there's more coming every minute. You see. it's so near election time that the people are pretty we'll excited about the political situation. and then. of course, any president of the United States is a great drawing card"
 ''Will we be able to get in?' I asked dubiously as we came into one of the blocks adjacent to the big structure and caught sight of the thousands of people massed in front of the en- t5ances.
 Wouldn't have . chance in the world If we didn't hold reserved seat coupons," Dicky replied. "Our tickets read Madison avenue entrance. That street, of course, will be kept clear of everybody but the holders of re- served seat checks.
 When we reached the corner near est the Madison avenue entrance, how ever, we found swaying mass of people extending from the doors clear to the corner. Three stalwart po- licenren stood at the. corner talking together. Dicky stepped up to them ,and dashed his precious seat coupons before their eyes.
 Gan you get us through 2" he asked. shade ipportantly 1t seemed tosme. Y These are reserved seat chacks.''
 sIsn't This Dangerous?"
 The onicex did not even look at Dicky.
 ,'rThat line right there.'' he said with . jerk of his thumb to the massed column of people, and went on talking to hfs brother officer.
 < Dicky's temper Is always hung upon . hair trigger, and this pEoved too much for him.
 .sDo you mean to tell me- he said angrily, '.that all the people in. that line hold reserved seat checks? It's impossible! The lines haven't been properly guarded, that's all. And they're not moving forward step. Why are not the doors open as they advertised they would be from o'clock on ?''
 The officer turned his, attention to Dicky with an ugly frown upon his face. I shivered 8 little. have 8 deadly fear of getting into any con- troversy with police officer, and think the man saw me. for his face relaxed. and slow grin crept over 1t. But his tone was truculent.
 See here, young fellow" he said, and there was the ling of conviction in his tones, you be thankful you're living tonight without worrying about these lines being properly guarded. Now toddle along and get in line or else beat it quick. Can't have you lettering around here. None of your lip, now" he exclaimed savagely as Dicl<y opened his mouth to protest.

WIVES

Solomon was right. A man
ought TO have a flock of wives
or none. Get a buch and they'll
fight among themselves and let
you alone. With only one you
never know what's going to
happen.
Solomon went the limit. He
got thousand. And it makes
Nat Goodwin sore every time
he thinks of it. He selected
them by the dozen and married
them en- masse. Whenever the
license clerk went home with
writer's cramp, his wife knew
who to blame. 1t go so bad that
when he saw Solomon coming
he hung out a sign: "HOW
MANY ?"
But Solomon was right. Even
he did wear a beard and bath
robe to the office. He was right.
