MEN, WOMEN
 AND THINGS

I closed my story about the snow on Thursday long before it started out for record After I got down on the streets I saw I had not done it full Just1ce' but as it was in the hands of the print CTS, l just let it go.
 I don't know whether the Snow King was peeved because I rather apologized for his not being able to make good showing on account of the earth being soaked with rain but do know that he got busy and in spite of the wet, just kept dropping flakes until the earth was carpeted with white.
 It was such dispriting afternoon that I went to the Lyric in nope that I might get cheered up bit, but the gloom had penetrated the inside, ana when the performance began half hour late, and then looked like it was going to be a picture show instead of vaude- vile, the audience got little inpatient and indulged in quite an amount of clap ping. stamping and whistling.
 After so long time, the show got under way. and opened with a real funny comedian, who took the crowd very much into his confidence and jollied 1t until the bunch of theatre fans got out of the dumps and began to smile and applaud Now, I know what 1t is to go up against a. congregation that is out of tune, and fight for attention, and l began to pull strong for the actor who was trying to get his act "over,' and he did. But this is not to be a story or the bill at the Lyric, but before pass on, must give funny incident. There was a wait between acts which was growing somewhat noticeable, when out stepped one of the players and said, Ladies ano gentlemen, kindly indulge the next team on the programme as they are gettine into their clothes" A fellow in the gal lerv looked on the bill to see who was tc annear and when he read that two oi the performers were women, he said IT a whisper that could be heard all oveI the building, 1T reckon we will have te wait on the women." The train from At. | lanta was two hours late, hence the de- l lay in opening the bill which is good 1 one.
 l I realized when I got outside that thu i Snow King had been busy and there was 1 a rush for automobiles and street cars i Living at Mountain Terrace and having ] had experience for nearly 10 years Wltl the service, I was not disposed to tak' any liberties with the schedule, and wen 1 to Saks old corner to catch one, but wal told by a friend that he had been waiting i for an hour and was kicking himself 10 having let two Highland avenue car go by. I walked slowly on up the stree and when I reached Chris friend Nor gan. who was wrestling with his For' said, If I get it going I will take yo' home" I thanked him and after so lon the flivver decided it would go or die and die it did later. but not before

 We passed some high-priced car stranded along the wayside. l dare sa if d proper census had been made of al the automobiles which failed to reac fheir destination it would sho'
 that several hundred passed tn night out in the open and far away fror ltheir garages. It was the graveyard fo
 many a make, and the costly cars had t
 rest contentedly by the cheaper ones.
 I saw quite number of snow battle on the streets while I was waiting fc
 a car There were a number of youn fellows who pelted the girls as the
 passed, but in quite a number of ir
 stances a bevy of lassies would figl back, and then there would be brett

 good humor.
