DOCKSTADER AGAIN
BREAKS into RHYME

Merriment prevailed at the lunch

when each member read or recited
verse about himself, bringing in
reference to his name or business.
Those who failed to make good"
were fined. William L. Dockstader,
of the Garrick Theatre, spun out the
following original lines and saved
himself from being fined:
I've been in the show business forty

Some folks think It is an easy life, and

It's the hardest task on earth

Then comes the mother with her SON

You couldn't make him laugh il you

WoMAN'S BIRTHDAY.

No matter If you are the best of
friends of a young woman-even
suitor-it is ofttimes very risky mat
ter to hint to her anything regarding
her birthday. A man may have the
best of intentions, his mind may be
bent upon making her a gift. She
may misconstrue the meaning of his
hint, imagining that he is prying in
to woman's secret as to how far she
has got on in years. A very young
girl Is proud to declare herself sixteen,
eighteen or twenty, as the case may be.
But when half dozen years are add
ed to that, she is not so glib OF tongue
in speaking of birthdays. She would
be more pleased at any other sort of
present rather than birthday gift.
Three-fourths of the men never
dream Of such a condition of affairs,
especially if they are sisterless. Not
one man In thousand would dream
of concealing his age. If a man has
been calling upon certain young
lady for some time and he has sent
her tokens of his good will at the
different holidays, he naturally thinks,
There's another kind of gift for me to
send her-a pretty little birthday to-
ken. She certainly has birthday
sometime in the year" He has heard
that box of bonbOns, books or flow
ers are appropriate for such an occa-
sion. Sweets do not appeal to him and
he hasn't time to rummage the book
store counters for an appropriate vol
ume. He hits upon flowers as just
the thing. Manlike, he bluntly asks
the question, what is the day it falls
on and how old she is. She admits in
some confusion to twenty-seven years.
He falls into the mistake many a man
has before him of declaring. Il shall
send you an American beauty rose to
commemorate each and everyone OF
your years." Hieing himself to the
nearest florist the next day, he gives
an order for 81 of the finest American
beauty roses obtainable to be sent to
Miss $3.50, leaving his card to be
attached. Quite unconscious of dis
rupting a romance, the florist, wishing
TO establish himself in the good Cruces
of the young man, adds half dozen
more roses for good measure. When
the 33 roses are received, the young
woman's anger knows no bounds.
This is a tact, way of informing

The reasons that have governed the
parting of lovers have been many.
Scarcely two are alike. But regret is
quite the same in all cases. Early
loves take deep hold upon the heart.
Others which may follow after are

If each weds another, old loves fade,
as do old photographs and dreams.
Newer interests elbow out old hopes.
A bachelor upon meeting an old sweet

had interfered, causing them to drift
