THE DIARY OF OUR OWN SAMUEL pEPY,

September 17-Early up, and Mabel
took me for ride in her petrol-wag-
gon, and so to an inn, and had lunch
con with her and A. Hill, and / saw
Will Johnston there and his wife Irene
and Will tells me he holds no rancor
against me for that did not call q
ball out in his match with Will Tilden,
Will Johnston thinking it was out, but
l feeling certain 1t struck the line. So
to Germantown, and saw VIII Tilden
play Wallace Johnson, but it coming on
to rain, l to the train, and to New
York with A. Gibney, and cast dice for
the dinner reckoning, and I cast a 9
and he an II, which was a deuce set,
and l payed. My vito at the station
to meet me, and so home.
1S-With my wife to Bronxville. to
j. Kern's, and l played tennis with s.
Merritt the hockey player, and he
trounced me. SO to an inn with j.
Kern for dinner, very good, and home
early and read the first two stories in
IL. Walpole's Thirteen Travellers, the
first fine tayle, and so to bed.
1910 the Office, and all glad enough
to see me. Not irksomc to be, at work
again, albeit had liefer do no work
az all, and had l wealth enough, would
do none. Finished my stint, and home
to dinner, and SO to the playhouse to
see Bluebeard's Eighth Wife, by Charl-
ton Andrews that hath wrote MANY
verses for my repository Of rhymes.
During the rainfall that. as the head
line boys say, Halted Net Title PLAY
81 the Germantown Cricket Club last
Saturday, only one man remained in
the grandstand. Under an umbrella he
was reading book. The PHILADELPHIA
evening papers all wired the fact, and
Old Bob Sensenderfer, under the lash
OF bystander harassed by curiosity,
went up to the man, found out that he
was DR.. W. A. Rambo, of PHILADELPHIA,
and that he was reading Les Mise
rabies. "If you don't print this" Bob
wired his city editor, "The Coming
Tower will be off The Evening Bulle-
tin for life" "Tell The Tower"
flashed back City Editor Charley Israel.
"that we'd print it even il the book was
Something Else Again"
"rhe Foreign Policy Association. !"
The New Republic comments, "has
been one Of the most active agents in
the political education Of the people Of
the United States in respect to foreign
affairs" In spite of it's initials.
1t strikes us that most members of
the excessively human race are
equipped with only art-time-if anv
-intellects.
/ Frequently it is pointed out to a
colyumist that he must, of necessity.
enjoy vacation less than others. be-
cause the discrepancy between hi,
work and no work at all is less marked
is, in fact, so slight as to be indis-
cernible. The truth of which cannot
successfully be denied.
Wherever the holidaying colyunist
goes he is assured that there is ENOUGH
material in that town to keep him 90
Ing for year. And that he ought to
meet Jim Gazookus, who says one conf
cal thing after another. Concerning
the town, it is true; there is enough
stuff in any town to keep a commenta-
tor going for life. AS to the louuacious
and vaunted merry andrew, there isn't
a printable wheeze in a barrel of him
Besides, thrift is not one of our
columnar habits. In a month of er-
rantry, all we recall is that H. ". Lobb.
who owns hotel in Germantown, Pa.
ought to enter doubles tournament
paired with Robert W. Service.
And that if the Ku Klux Klan sue
ceeded in closing the Stock Exchange,
the banks, and the schools on the an
nivcrsary of the X. K. KS organiza
ton, they'd probably call it a Klcacle
holiday. F. p. A.
