NEW YORK, Feb. kit was
only few years ago that a pretty
bright-eyed girl with curls came
Il New York and instantly became
one of the petted darlings of the
stage world. Now Lillian Lorraine,
the girl, lies in d private hospital
in a plaster cast and the medical
men say she will never walk again.
Her career has ended as quickly as
it began.
She expressed it to some friends
who called on her a few days after
she was taken to the hospital in
these words: Il guess II is the cur
tain for me-" The spirit of Lillian
Lorraine was the spirit of Peter
Pan. She never grew up. She was
reckless, young and bubbling with
| life.
My friend, William MacHarg,
wrote an excellent short story in
popular magazine recently. that
bore the. title, The Price of a
Party" Lillian Lorraine paid the
price. She had been out with a
group of gay companions. and In
stepping from an automobile she
slipped on the icy, pavement and
fell, breaking her spine in two
places.
She never had remarkable voice
nor was she skilled in dramatics,
| but she had beauty plus personal
magnetism. SShe. had a trick OF
throwing smilA at the audience in
such a way that every young man
present became a member of the
| Stage Door Johnny Club the next
night.
She was at the height of her ca
reer when she sat in a swing of
roses, and under the magic OF soft
stage lightning sang Row. Row.
| Row" Her last engagement in
New York was at the Midnight
Frolic, where the midnight sons
came to bid for her smiles and
bows.
The tables are grouped about the
stage there and it gave her the
chance for those intimate touches
that both young and old men about
town crave. She could call to them
by name or sing a chorus to them.
She was generous with her friends
and spent her big salary mostly en-
tertaining.
1t has been said along Broadway
that no one ever went to Lillian
Lorraine for help and was turned
away. 1t might be that she would
have to pledge jewel. but she was
unfailing. She had a wide &C,
quaintance among stage people
from the humblest chorus girl to
the greatest star, and to them she
was Lii"
The theatrical business in New
York is slowly becoming a vast
real estate enterprise. Producing
managers are buying theaters not
only here. but in all the other large
cities. OF course they do not put
up the money, but it sounds big
and that is the chief thing. 1t Is
said that office buildings and store
rooms in which a theater is located
become very valuable for rental
purposes; hence real estate specu-
lators will not hesitate to hack a
producer in buying theatrical prop
erty.

1t is the European idea and it pre-
vents guests from being stared at

by the horde of dobby Ioungers
that browse abouts New York. But
IL was a sight to see the Ritz foyer
when MRS. Harding was in town.
The President-elects wife occupied
the royal suite. The foyer was pack
ed with sob sisters, plain reporters,
special writers, news photographers
and magazine feature scribes. Mrs.
Harding wanted to avoid the press
her first day of shopping, and how
was a problem. for every door was
watched. The writer's had been
waiting about six hpurs-ahd all
the time standing.
Finally Albert Keller, the gem
eral manager appeared in the foy-
er. He asked that he be permitted
to serve the visitors a cup of tea
and bite of toast They trooped
into the cafe. And shortly after
they were seated a nonstop eleva-
tor rushed down from the twelfth
floor and Mrs. Harding hurriedly
rushed out to a waiting Limousine.
And in a few more minutes when
the news hounds heard Of IT the
chase vas on. Tea and toast were

A DOubIe-BarreI Fine.


Bernard Williamson, formerly of
Southwestern Texas, is sorry he did
not stay down there.
He neither admitted nor denied
that he moved to Washington to be
near a certain woman. Just the
same he came here and moved in a
house next door to her.
At first the doman refused to
even look at him. although they
went to the same school together in
Texas. Then, when she did notice
him, she told him outright to keep
stepping.
Later, it was testified, the woman
asked Edwin Simpson to see that
Bernard kept away from her alto
gether.
Accidentally or on purpose, Ber-
nard got too close to the woman in
picture show and when Edwin
saw him, he invited him out on the
sidewalk.
Bernard took the dare and went.
| They both got locked together and
stayed that way until the cops sep
arated them.
Edwin swore that Bernard hit first
and Bernard swore that Edwin hit
| first. The court hit them both at
the same time with a $40 fine.
P-tu: Out Goes Fire.
One day Dorothy Carter johnson
cleaned out her kitchen range and
started a new fire with some kim
ding wood
Her husband. Alfred. not knowing
anything abou this job, came into
the kitchen. He was chewing to-
bacCo and lifted the stove lid and
| went 'p-tu" right in on the fire
| and put out the smaH but strug-
Cling fame.
Twenty minutes later Dorothy
looked at what she thought was the
fire and she hollered. The fire had
gone out for a walk.
She asked Alfred to please not
do it again and started another fire
Then her husband came along again
with lot of wet paper he had been
using to wipe lather on after
shaving.
The pair had some words and, ac-
cording to Dorothy, Alfred threat
ened to stick her head in the rIre
and hold it there.
The way he said it must have
convinced her that he meant it be-
cause she had him arrested.
The court took his personal
bonds after, hearing him explain
that he did not mean what he said.
Harry Wrong all Around.
Harry McCleary is fond of ice
cream.
He said a mouthfuI when he sent
around to a corner fruitstand and
got ten cents worth.
He was just about to consume the
dishful when woman yelled to
him across the street. He left his
dish and went over.
When he came back neither the
dish or the cream was visible. He
didn't see dog of the mongrel type
licking his chops under the table.
Without a word he started up
stairs and pitched into Rufus Bar
ton, roomer, and started to thrash
him. Rufus was a good scrapper
and soon got the best of. his an
tagonist.
Harry didn't give the man time to
deny that he had stolen the ice
cream. He was too angry. But he
did have Rufus arrested for assault
when he Harry was to blame for
starting the fight.
The court looked at it that way
and let Rufus go on a plea of self
defencement."

so we assumed murder, and
found a man against whom there
was overwhelming CircumstantiaI
evidence. The only gap in the chain
was how he got out of the room
leaving it barred on the inside He
wasn't clever enough to see the OBJ
vious conclusions we'd draw from
the absence of powder marks and
fingerprints, but I'll have to admit
he showed brains in closing that
room behind him.
There was one door, and one
window. The door was locked, with
the key on the inside 1t was the
sort of lock that might have been
manipulated from the outside with
a pair of thin forceps, but there
were no scratches, even under
microscopic examination, to show
that this had been done Besides
there was much heavy furniture
piled against it on the inside. You
see, it was a door that opened in
ward
The window was securely fast
ened also, Dy nails. In the lower
sash a nail had been driven right
through the window frame at right
angles, into the groove in which it
was raised and lowered. A nail had
been driven similarly through the
woodwork OF the upper window
with the exception that it was driv-
en- downward at an angle of about
forty-five degrees. Neither window
could be budged until the nails were
extracted.
The window panes themselves
had not been removed. The putty
that held them in place was old.
There was no catch on the window
But as soon as l noted that the
nail in the upper window came out
quite readily-in fact it could be
pulled out with the fingers, but only
by some one inside the room, for
there was no room to slip jimmy
Up from the outside where the
frames of the windows camestogeth-

managed things.

Income Tax Facts You Should Know
Watch The Herald Growl

Study of the income-tax law
and regulations reveals interesting
phases with regard to allowances
for deductions.
For example, a woman who has
won a breach Of promise suit, or has
accepted out Of court a settlement
as heart balm, must include the
amount received in her i1come-taN
return for the year ls2O.( The Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue has de-
cided that such payments are within
the laws definition of income and
are taxable to the recipient for the
year in which received.
Payments Of alfmony. however. is
not taxable income; neither may II
be deducted in the return of the
person paying it.
The bureaus official ruling relat-
ing to breach Of promise suits and
settlements out OF court is as fol-
lows:
Damages in the form of yearly
payments throughout the life OF the
injured party. recovered through the
compromise of a threatened suit for
breach of promise or marriage, are
not regarded as a return of capital
since the benefits Of which the in
jured party was deprived were
merely antiCipatory."
Members OF labor union may de-
duct as business expense dues paid
to such organizations during the
year 1920 The Bureau OF Internal
Revenue has ruled that such dues
are necessary expenses incident TO
the earning OF their wages.
On the other hand. a member Of
a labor union who while on strike
received payments from the organ

for the year such items.

tual rate received. must be included
