 The lieutenant picked up thin tin pipe out of the basket and held 1t up with smile.
 II haven't seen one since l was ten years old. It's a bean-shOOter, isn't it?
 Jane laughed delightedly. "Yes, it is. Do you think a small boy would like it?"
 If he doesn't. he isn't human, I should say"
 "Theres only one trouble about that, though" went on Jane, more sOberly. T never thought until after l had bought 1t, that his mother is in very modest circumstances, and buying beans for small boy to shoot into peoples eyes might not happen to be the way she would choose to spend her money"

It was early spring, but already there were signs that one young mans fancy had turned lightly to thoughts Of-very great admiration at least for the girl beside him.
 In front of them on the road stood a ear. Jane's, that had stopped for repair. Just as 1t happened, the lieu tenant had come along and offered to help mend the perfOra ed tire.
 Jane had accepted gratefully and now the car stood again ready for ac- tiOn. to use military phrase.
 There was really no reason why she shouldn't have gone ahead on her errand, but, when even the birds were fusSily choosing their mates, and the long day was theirs. why shouldn't they rest q few minutes on the log and talk awhile?

Just to ourselNes

It Is hard t0 he really just to our selves. A great many of us are more lenient with our own faults than with those of other people. while not a few censure themselves far more harshly for a false step than they would think of cenSuring another. What we should strive for Is to be neither too exacting not t00 lenient where our shortcomings are concerned. but to give ourselves the benefit of simple justice.

NEWS AND NOTES OF PLAYS AND PLAYERS -
G1

In the variety houses one finds many
English and several American artists.
The Argentinos especially are fond Of
shows on the revue order. Ziegfeld
FolIies, the Cohan Revue and the VIM
ter Garden shows should prove tre-
mendous successes.
or course, the motion picture has
done more than anything to acquaint
the South American with this country's
theatrical elect. Douglas Fairbanks,
Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Max
Linder and host of other stars are
more familiar than the mayor Of the
town. Western and cowboy pictures
never fail to please. The picture houses
are beautifully decorated, and their
orchestras are not surpassed by those
of the Strand or Rialto.
In Buenos Ayres there have been
several English theatrical companies.
and most of them have done well.
While the English population is small.
compared to other aliens, one would
be surprised at the number of Argen-
tinos who speak the English language
fluently.
From newspaper reports this is to be
lean season in the South American
republics, on account of shipping con-
ditions. The winters are raw and
damp, and all the coal is exported from
Wales. Only few days ago there was
report that corn was being burned
for fuel, but, in way, that will make
little difference to the South American
manager, and if the newspaper adver-
tisements ring true there will be as
much, If not more, amusements in the
gay Argentine metropolis than ever.
