A man writes me that although he
has been happily married for twenty
five years to most estimable woman
= whom he is devoted, he is tormented
by a longing to see once again his
FIRST love.
1t has been more than n quarter of
n century since he parted from the
sweetheart of his boyhood. and ,n all
that time he has never beheld her. or
held any communication with her.
lie doesn't know whether she is mar
ried or single. or where she lives. He
only knows that she lives enshrined
in the inner sanctuary of his heart.
and that she is eternally Turing him
to come back TO her. And he feels
this is disloyalty TO his wife, and he
doesn't know what to do about il be-
cause the older he gets the stronger
becomes thei urge of this youthful
passion.
This man thinks his case peculiar,
but il is an experience common to hu-
manity. Probably there isn't a middle
aged man or woman in the world who
hasn't some such romance laid away
in the lavender of memory. Always
1t is our early loves, our first loves,
that embody for us romance, and all
the beauty and the thrills that go
with youth, and as we get farther and
farther along The prosaic road of every
day life. this ideal of our boyhood and
Igirihood becomes more and more beau
tiful and alIuring.

WHY?
Why Do We Speak Of the "Ghost

Synonymous with the paying OF
salaries. not only in theatres. but In
many offices, this ression goes
back almost to the time Of Shakes
peare for its origin. At this time, or
a, least so the story goes. a certain
theatrical manager was very dilatory
in the paying Of his players. In his
company was a man whose principal
role was that OF the ghost in Hamlet
and. II this actors salary was not
forthcoming each Saturday morning
he would exclaim: Then the ghost
won't walk tonight" and, being in
dlspensfble. he was always paid, even
though some Of the others were forced
t. wait for their msney.
As time went on. however. the man
ager commenced to hold up a portion
Of the salary due. promising the bal
ance at the end OF the performance
ard trying to arrange matters 50 that
the actor would have to go on in order
to get the money that was owed nim.
The ghost retaliated by delivering a
few lines and would then pause sig
nificantly until he caught the man
ayers eye and saw that that worthy
had enough money in his hand 70 meet
the balance Of the debt. When the
other actors in the company discovered
/ the tactics which were being used

along all the woods folks to watch
the queer habit Mr.. Coon had, and so
the next day Mr.. Squirrel and Billy

he could hardly get down the tree

when Mr.. Coon came TO the woods
20 live, none OF the woods dwellers had

curious habit the Raccoon has OF
washing all meat before eating it.
ono day as Reddy Fox was trotting
through the woods he spied Mr.. Coon
with \ basket on his arm going to-
ward the river that runs through the
woods.
He did not see Reddy, and as Reddy
dearly loves 10 watch when he is not

Mouse Wore Diamond.

Some women may be afraid of some
mice, but when mouse gets civilized
and swagger enough to run around
wearing diamonds-well, the heroine
of this story tells it, and responsibility
begins and ends with her.
Miss Genevieve Allen of New York,
head of the abandonment bureau of
District Attorney Swans office, re-
turned from a vacation in Maine to
find mouse cavorting on the floor of
her office with diamond cleaning
from it's tail.
Miss Allen realizing, perhaps, that
she could never get away with the
story without something resembling
proof, caught that mouse. Whether
she did it with gas, hypnotism or
depth bomb may never be known, but
she got close enough to extract a,
diamond earring from the houses tail
though she let the mouse get away
without attempting to arrest it for
burglary The earring was turned
over to Acting District Attorney Ban
