LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COLT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT,
CARE OF THE SECRET
DRAWER

1 believe that l will be happier
than I ever was before when my
mother comes. I don't think there is
anything funny in those old jokes
and cartoons about a girl saying
she'll go home to mother when she
and friend husband have quarreled
It seems to me that Jack and
have become regular naggers. but I
can't be filed with love and joyous
ness right after Jack has called me
down for something I consider
trivial. beside the things that l know
he does every day.
Men have such good forgetteries.
I almost wish I were able TO take
out of its proper receptacle in my
brain the part OF my memory that
registers hurt and insert in its place
the kind of forgetterie that Jack
has.
At first after sending the bills to
the office. I expected every time
Jack came home to hear about them.
Particularly 1 expected he would
give some explanation about that
basket of flowers. but he was as
mum as an oyster for days. He
didn't even have anything to say
because I had allowed the grocery
bill to run two months.
When. however, the agent Of the
house had sent a collector twice for
the rent, I asked Jack about 1t. He
very gruffly answered that he would
attend to it.
1 asked him If he would also at
tend to the grocery bill at the same
time and then I mentioned that
wished he would give me an allow
ance and let me pay these bills.
You would have no worry then
Jack, except for your>own personal
obligations-hke sixteen dollars for
a basket of flowers.
The moment the words were out
of my mouth I knew 1 had made a
mistake and there would be no al
lowance for me.
DO 1 have to ask you, Leslie" he
f1ared. when I shah send a few flow
ers to a friend who is very i'll? II
is my money and my friend, you
know"
Not at ALL not at all, Jack. but
neither must you find fault with me
as you did moment ago because !
paid back my numerous obligations
to friends who had entertained me
since my marriage with q few lunch
cons"
But almost sixty-eight dollars
Leslie! Couldn't you have them tc
tea or something cheaper"
You evidently did not read the
bill carefully, Jack, or you would
have seen that I did give seven teas
and only four luncheons. l gave as
modest luncheons as I could possibly
do and the hotel took 10 per cent of
the bill If you will look at the florist
bill again, I think you will find that
any one of my luncheons did not cost
as much as your sixteen-dollar basket
of flowers"
Il am not in the habit, Leslie. OF
having my expenditures criticised"
Neither am L, Jack.
We'll. why don't you go some
where else? 1 am quite sure that the
hotel is the most expensive place in
town"
Simply because l haven't any
money and there is no other place IL
town where I can sign the check anC
nut the tip for the waiter on the bill.
Jack deliberately took his bill book
out of his pocket and, with a, colo

Mays Out of Majors Soon

New York, Aug. 3.-Carl Mays,
pitching hero of the 1921 world series,
is almost at the end of his career as
a big Lacquer.
A hero two years ago and a bench
warmer today, lucky to start a game
q That sums up the story of Carl
Mays.
Mays fate simply proves that base
ball is a mighty tickle playmate.
Last year the Yankees asked for
waivers on Mays. 1t was intended
to send him to the Pacific Coast
League in deal for Pitcher Jakic
MAY. All the major league clubs
waived except the Cincinnati Reds.
Failure Of the Reds to waive, alone
prevented Mays from being shunted
TO the minors last winter. That Is
almost certain to be his fate before
the opening of next season.
This year finishes Mays three-yelr
contract calling for $4,000 a year.
Right now Carl is getting big money
for acting as bench warmer and &C.
casional relief pitcher.
During the recent series with

of his pitching staff, was forced to

sounded the finish of bis career as a
