New York, Sept. 25.-Broadway on
matinee day. Rain pelting down.
The bargain day theatre prices at
tract largest crowds. New York is
thrifty.
Umbrellas look like gigantic mush-
rooms, sprouting in cold rain.
Taxicabs crowding for an inch OF
advantage. 1t took 40 minutes to
ride nine blocks in a street car.
Bubbling girls and matronly wo-
men dashing to the theatre. Ora
cious, how the mud puddles splash
those fashionable white stockings.
A sprinkling of men sneaking into
the theatre. Wonder why they aren't
working? Oh we'll, it's none of my
business. l am.
Pallid faced sylphs. with lips OF
vivid red. Seldom are they seen on
the street before the lights are
turned on for an evening of frivolity'
But the afternoon theatre lures them
from their apartment dens.
A night Waterman with sand in
his eyes.
Tonight on duty he'll make up for
the sleep he lost today.
There goes the head waiter of an
exclusive supper club. He is SO auto
cratic he snubs people willing to pay
convert charges. But he's all wet
Rain is a great equalizer. He argues
with the man in the theatre ticket
window-and gets put in his place
No wonder they cage ticket sellers
That's the first time !, ever saw any
body best head waiter in a word
| encounter.

"A man selling umbrellas for 81.

A blind beggar, wanting to cross
Broadway in the maelstrom Of traf-

Lost children usually are returned

And scores of them are picked up
by police every day.
But the identity of John Doe, No.
118, an attractive boy of three, who
was found three months ago wander

been determined.
For weeks he would not talk. But
now he laughs and plays.
When Robert Plaut Levy, %, went
before a Supreme Court Justice to
change his name, because he claimed
it was distasteful to him, he discov-
cred that the judges name was Levy.
But the justice merely laughed and
permitted him to change his monick-

"Come right in, all of you," said
she. II just wanted to see how
smart you were. OF course Tweeka
nose stole the sleepy sand. He loves
to tease the babies, the rascal, and
he has always been jealous of the
Sand Man. You'll find the bag of
sand right here"
She lifted loose board in the
floor and pointed down to the Gel
lar,
Jump down and get it," she said.
Down jumped Nancy and down
jumped Nick and down jumped the
Sand Man.
But no sooner had they all jumped
down into the Sour Old Woman's
cellar then she let the board fall
down into its place again, and there
! they were!
"Goodness!" said the Sand Man.
"Heres the sleepy sand all right
But much good it does me when
can't get out"
Don't worry" said Nancy. eve

That's right" said the Sands Man
in a relieved voice. "You and mick
can get out in fine shape. But
can't"
"Why" asked Nick. "Haven't
you any magic along"
LOTS" said the Sand Man. "But
somebody will have to stay here and
make noise to fool the Sour Old
Woman, or she'll know we have
gone. It's two o'clock now and time
for afternoon maps"
II have a plan," said Nancy ali
at once. "Nick and can take the
sleepy sand and sprinkle it around
while you stay here. Then well
come back and get YOU"
"That's fine idea," said the Sand
Man.
So the Twins took the bag OF
sleepy sand and away they went
right through walls and everything
in their magic shoes. And it wasn't
long until all the babies were asleep
The world was very, very quiet.
But the poor Sand Man was tired
He had had hard day travelling all
the way from Shut-Eye Town where
he lived, and with his hay-fever and
everything, he was worn out.
And instead of stamping around tt
fool the Sour Old Woman, he fell
asleep.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO RUTH BURKE,

My whole life, Ruth, is bound up in
John and my adopted son. Perhaps

would make John happier. l re-
member his telling me once that

have John go out Of my life, yet l

we have seemed to have lately.

strange that woman in my condi-
ton should morbidly think of leaving
her husband. Of course, with me,

I be dependent upon John for support.

II think" said another woman
about the table, "that it is because
we are less patient than our mothers

reached such an alarming figure"

CELLAR CLEANING TIME

With fall days approaching, the
Jones family gave thought to "put-
ting up fruit for the winter" and get
ting the cellar in shape.
1t was surprising how much junk
had gathered during the summer;
boxes in which vegetables had been
placed; odds and ends left by the
youngsters, all sorts of things.
Everybody should give thought
to the cellar at least twice year.
Boxes that may have contained de-
cayed vegetables should be cleaned
