my dear" she said. you carry your
self absorption too far. You are not
quite fair 10 yourself or to others
The matron and the girl were seat
ed in the library. The . o'clock tea
wagon was between them. Mrs. Liv-
ingstone slipped the tea daintily from
her cup: Cynthia had not tasted hers.
She was gazing at her companion, her
eyes wide and anxious.
Mrs. Livingstone was glad to have
this interview a. soon as circum-
stances would permit She had not
forced matters. but had bided her
time. It came this afternoon.
Dora had gone to a reception Tor
which Cynthia had also received
cards. But Cynthia. on learning that

her regrets. Mrs. Livingstone had an
influenza, which thought slight, red
dened her nose and eyes to an unbe-
coming extent. Therefore she con-
sidered herself housebound. At quar-
ter of five she had sent upstairs for
her niece, suggesting that they take
tea together by the library fire.
Without preliminary she preached
was her disappointment that Cynthia
should have declined this afternoons
invitation and that she eVinced such
an aversion for society.
Cynthia answered slowly and
thoughtfuliy. 7 do not mean TO be

NEW YORK. Oct 19.-When David
~ Belasco produces a play il is {
safe prediction that It is going to b
finished product. The last Belascc
offering. 'Daddies." is all OF that.
This is a comedy which shows how
completely two determined women
car disrupt an Organization OF five
confirmed bachelors, whose only ex-
cuse for having an organization is
that they are all scornful OF and
immune 10 the Vaccinations Of the
fair sex to entrap good providers
into the field OF matrimony.
When five men are graduated in
the same college class and take into
the world with them only one COM
mon impulse, namely. TO escape mar
rage at all hazards, they are likely
TO become so entirely men OF one
idea that in time no woman would
consider marrying them.
II is 70 prevent that awful fate
from overtakinE her son and his four
cronies that Mrs Audrey conspires
with her daughter. Bobette. to pro-
vide wives for. all the members OF the
bachelors club.
These bachelors fortunately are ali
blessed with a fair share Of the
worlds goods. and one Of the articles
in the constitution OF their club pro-
vides that any member who marries
must pay a fine OF $4,000 into the
club treasury.
First to Marry.
The play opens in the Audrey home.
where the son, Robert. has arranged
TO have the annual meeting Of the
bachelors club Before the session
is fairly under way BIZ Rivers, one
of the bachelors, throws a bombshell
into the ranks by announcing he is
going to be married to Bobette Au-
drey- He pays over his $4,000 and HIS
decision leaves the other members Of
the organization so weak that Mrs.
Audrey and her daughter succeed in
prevailing on each OF them 20 adopt
a war orphan
One OF the bachelors finally agrees
on the express understanding that he
shall have q boy Another agrees be-
cause he wants 70 prove his pet theory
that Il is no trick at all 10 manage
children. A third is really forced 70
adopt a girl. because she Is the child
Of a chum who has been killed in the
war. For her son Mrs. Audrey Sc

CLAIMED HE GAVE HER RING.

Dear Miss Fairfax;
1 am 10 and have been engaged
10 a young man for the past
month. Last time I was out with
him he inquired why I did not
wear his engagement ring. As
he never gave me a ring, 1t is
naturally impossible for me to
wear it. He says he gave it TO me
the night OF our engagement and
seems very much hurt that I
should say he did not. AS love
him dearly I should like to know
the truth, but cannot make him
understand I never received his
ring. Please tell ne what to do.
The Victim.
I should weigh very carefully the
question OF marrying lbs young man
who appears TO have been not al
there" when he fancied he gave you
an engagement ring. Or, perhaps, he
is sensitive in not being able to give
you one, and is trying TO bluff it out
with this absurd claim 1t all sounds
queer and 'fishy" to me. Do you
know anything about his people. whai
is his record and how does he stand
with those associated with him in
business? I should not be in too great
a hurry TO marry him.
