His man Friday" interpolated Bopp.
That's the one. IL you don't count
the women and the dog there's six hu-
man souls on this island"
'-That won't make any difference"
came to the rescue. Every first

Evas at least. Wen have one Robin
son CrIlsoe and five Fridays"
That's a good idea" assented
Clair, enthusiastically following up. the
scheme with details. ''Pu get bell.
and whenever want anything I'll ring
for YOU
Fine" agreed Bopp. who began to
see possibilities in the scheme. Wen
get you lot of musical bells, SO that
the ringing won't annoy us any if you
keep it up for some time"
Maybe l could rig up an electric
chime" Kent suggested, with an eye
to mechanical details OF which he
alone was master. Wed each have
to have a number and only answer
our own note ON the chime. For in
stance, do would call for the gink
who was Friday No. /. That would
be the captain here"
Let me be Friday the thirteenth"
Bopp continued, land Jim, the galley
mechanic, can be Black Friday. Kent
you're Good Friday-you get a hot
cross bun. What shall / baptize you
Monty? l can't think of any more

LET me be Ash Wednesday, don't

BY this time we had reached the

Lucille greeted rs downstairs In the

Miss Dunmore is waiting for you
l looked around to see whom she
was addressing.

"Who is Miss Dunmore?"
''The lady whose life you saved. Do
you mean to say that you didn't REQ
Ognize her with those-things On2"
Il don't know what you mean"
"That's right" said Bopp. mo mao
ter what you say Wen all of us agree
that it's true. We men must stick to-
gether. Monty never saw the lady be-

This was especially despicable on
the part of Bopp, as he knew as well
as l did that the telegram had been for
the other Blaney whom Clair had spo-
ken of
How about this. then?" inquired
| Lucille sweetly, handing me a damp
newspaper clipping. She had that In
her hand all the time"
looked at it IN amazement. 1t was
my own criticism of "A production of
LAS You Like It," which had been
| staged the week before One para
graph was marked with a blue pencil
and read as follows:
The fashionable audience which assem-
! bled to see Miss Langland as Rosalind was
| obviously disappointed when the mana. e.
ment announced that Miss Langand was
| indisposed and that her understudy would
/ play the part. Before the first act was
! over, however, the discriminating ones In
| front knew that they had been present at
| the birtA-of a new star. The manage
| ment need never again offer excuses for
! presenting Miss Vida Dunmore as Rosa
| lind. The public had never dreamed that
/ Rosalnd could be as physically perfect as
| Miss Dunmore made us see her. Shake
! speaTe could never have written the part
/ had he seen Miss punmore's figure. He
! would have known that Rosalind in tights
could not for an instant deceive Orlando
/ as to her sex.
/ 1t is impossible to say more than that
! the part and the boots have never been
! more perfectly filed. Miss Dunmore comes

Their her Cousin Ethel nor her Uncle Jack
/ need fear that the family laurels will fade

! has the soft note of the thrush which
seems too sweet to be heard by an en-
: tire audience.

asm over a perfect bit of artistry.
Taken away from the context Of the
review, however, the paragraph did
sound a trifie euiogistic.
