forecast of success for writer's, editors
and publishers, who will profit much
in the next few months.
Warning has been given repeatedly
against the folly of extravaganza, for
the stars foreshadowed financial stress
long before bankers began to counsel
thrift. Now it is prophesied that there
wilI be q serious veactton from che Sea

Scandals will be more numerous In
the coming summer than ever before

AN OFFENDING TITLE.

Before Jan Paderewski became prime
minister of Poland and while he still
devoted all his time to his piano he
was giving a series Of concerts in Lon
don He was haunted, while taking his
walks, by a certain tune then in vogue.
He asked his friends what 1t was,
but none of them would tell him. Final
ly, being determined to find out, he
grabbed newsboy who was whistling
it.
What is that tuner" he demanded
roughly The boy struggled, but would
not answer. Finally. he broke loose
and, from a safe distance, yelled back:
Get yer air cut"
And it was not until some time after
ward that Paderewski discovered that
the taunt was the name of the song,
and not personal remark as he had
at first supposed.-Boston Post.

BARRYMORE REBUKES ONE OF HIS AUDIENCE

New York, Feb. 1S.-John Barry more, star in The Jest" at the Ply mouth theater, last night dealt out a rebuke to somebody in the audience who interrupted the big love scene in the second act with an ill-timed laugh.
 The dramatic effect of the scene depends upon absolute quiet, especi- ally at the climax, when the slam ming of a door off stage alarms the lovers. So when a loud laugh broke the silence, Barrymore tore himself angrily from the embrace of the wom- an in the piece.
 Did you hear that noise?" asked the actress, repeating her lines as usual.
 :'Yes,' replied the star, with delib- crate slowness.
 1T heard that damn fool laugh and I heard the door close"
 The audience remained quiet and the actors proceeded with their lines. In a short time MT. Barrymore will be playing "Richard IIT' at the Ply mouth and then, without stepping out of character. he can order any offend CT taken to the Tower and beheaded.

 Opening with the matinee tomor- TOW, Robert Warwick will be seen in tho great play by Augustus Thomas, Tn Mizzoura." Lovers of the melo-. drama of the better sort will have a chance to hiss the villain in this pie ture. The evil one is played by Rob ert Cain and an exceptionally dastard- 1y rascal ne is. He has an unpleas- ant part to play and he does it with consummate skill, making the scenes in which he appears as Major War wicks antagonist the most thrilling in the picture. Eileen Percy is the leading lady. Robert Warwick is excellent in the leading role and the play is full of life and heart interest. It is the story of a gentleman" who was a. cad, of an uncouth sheriff who was a ''prince" and of u girl who was taught by bitter adventure to know the truth. The vaudeville acts will be up to usual high standard and the other pictures on the bill will make up performance the theatergoers of the city will not want to miss.

My Own RGcipCS,

From an old English cookbook comes the recipe for "Toad in the Hole" The name appeals to the imagination and when the dish is served there is nothing to be desired in the way of palatab bleness. As our cooks differ in the north, south and west, so the cooks of the different countries do things in different ways. Perhaps no other country has been so lavish in the use of foodstuffs as this one of CUTS, and by borrowing ideas and recipes we may be able to learn and profit.
