trotted out on the floor with nary
bit of supper to refresh their weak
ened muscles. After looping about and
shooting baskets for practise, for a
few minutes, the contest opened and
the boys were thoroughly warmed UP
by the time it was over.
For the first eight minutes of the
first quarter the ball didn't smell the
net at all and the crowd went wild
when one team or the other missed
basket by scant ten feet. Just as
the bell was about to put an end to
the first round a basket apiece on each
team brought the scorer out of bed
to mark up a two-and-two score at
the end of the quarter. The second
chapter the Bensonites were little
hotter on the trail of the elusive
points, and they shared four field
counters and couple of give Always.
The soldiers, in the meantime, busted
themselves with counting up two more
deuces and pair of free throws.
The half ended with score of 1925
down in black and white.
The second half Hutch went in and
Castle took a position at forward.
This arrangement seemed to plug
along fairly smoothly and couple of
points were made in spite of the fact
that the Benson players didn't like to
see it done. The ten acre floor in the
Benson hall threw the boys off for
the first half but during the second
period the fellows got the old stride
and rolled in points repeatedly and
successfully. This would have been
fine but the Benson loopers were not
out playing chess in the meantime
and they did bit of adding among
themselves. This may have been the
reason that the third quarter ended
1917 with Redwood on the sobbing
end
The last term was reeled off in
short order and the boys were pretty
downhearted up to the last two minut-
es of play, when the other aggrega-

France and Spain Pay Tribute
To Washington Irving as Writer

tial quarter in 1924, today entirely
given up to business.
Irving moved in, partly to help
Payne pay the rent-in one of his
earlier letters, he reproaches him with
paying for empty rooms which you
do not occupy" Irving's brother also
came and stayed there.
But Payne had good reason for liv-
ing in the Rue Richelieu, and even
for quitting the fiat, at times. He
could not live on Home, Sweet
Home.'' although "all the others who
exploited it got rich" Charles kem-
BILE gained $4,000 by the copyright,
100000 copies being sold the first year;
but all he paid John Howard Payne,
its author, was $3.50 for song and
adaptation of "Clari, the Maid of
Milan" in which it appeared.
Payne earned his living by hack
work for the theater, between Paris
and London. He was back and forth.
In Paris, the Rue Richelieu began (aS
it still does) in the place of the re-
nowned French State Theater, where
he found a valuable friend in the
great actor Talma.
Also, the entire theater district of
the time was near.
Payne was seriously in love with
Mrs. Shelley-who long replied to his
numerous notes with MY dear sir

brought her six theater tickets at

He answered her criticisms humbly,

She counted on Payne's refined feel

without mercy. She let him write her
ardent love letters. And she made fre.

Of the party.
Irving was, undoubtedly, impressed.
So runs the Paris tradition. So it
appears between the lines of the cor
respondence, particularly the mass of
Payne's letters.
IRVING was at the critical age of
I 40, when men become newly i'm

the Paris-resident habit OF going about
much With the same few people, in the
absorbing yet cfrcumscribed Paris
round. Lovely Mary Shelley, alert,
appreciative, became more and more
the person.
Yet time came when Irving cooled.
| Perhaps he had q glimpse of Mary's
double-dealing with his friend. al
though women can be so subtle in
those matters.
Perhaps the vision Of himself as a
Paris fixture revolted the American in
that Paris and London were the only
spots to live in.

that time, saw the tendency in others,
and reproved it.

that as father was Uncle Saltonstall's s

not get any of it because his uncle
thought he had been drowned. So
went to Mr.. Culpepper, Mrs. Smiths

At this point Irving's treatment of
temptation was sudden and decisive.
Poor Payne fingered on, and-author

realized one of the fine things about
Paris-you can always flee to Spain.

against hope.

exactly as he left them, to blotter
pen and inkstand. Thirty years ago
I saw them. Each year, before and
since, a continuous stream of tourists
