garded as a "verifunny" musical
comedy, this product of the New

Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and
other metropolitan centers.

Ing and unique methods, fortified
with a physical bulk as big as his

of comedy and song.
Among a profusion of stage
celebrities IL to be listed Helen
La Vonne, Dick Bell, Bob Lively,
Alice Wood, Isabelle Vernon, Lou
Powers, Maude Allen, the Nc.
Cushion Twins, the twelve Kelley
Dancers and a host OF others. The
chorus, in overflowing number,
has been selected for the looks
and sprightliness ever exacted of
a Shubert production. In three
acts of impressive settings, the
show provides fifteen changes of
costume for the Woodworking en-.

The story of this hilarious
musicil comedy Is based on "Un
Bon Garcon," by Andre Bard and
Maurice Yvain. with rousing
musical score by the latter, who
composed the haunting Mon

by Fannie Brice. Yvain, called
the Irving Berlin of Paris, has

The number, however, which
has lifted this show to its pres.
ent heights is Lots Make
Whoopee," the work of Mann
Holiner and Werner Jansen,
which provides countless encores
for Billy House in a wildfire
second-act curtain. This song,
as much as any other factor, has
promoted "Whoopee" into a ma.
tional joy-word.

some time, have been essentially skull
caps. and the woman who has chosen
to wear her hair in curls at the back
has either had to let them struggle
down her neck or has had to crush
them under the confines of a hat that
took no notice of them. And the
woman who has chosen to wear her
longer hair in bun or coil has had
to content herself with bulge in the
back of her hat that looked like de-
formity.
Perhaps nothing will come of this
new hat from RebouX Perhaps it is

A clever interior decorator had among
his clientele in large city many who
lived In blocks of houses where the sun
did not shine in the front windows. He
conceived of a novel idea that robbed
the windows of their drab appearance
and gave them that element of smart
ness that the French call chic. PaSSerS
by were cheered by the gay colors
glilEpsed, and friends commented on
the attractiveneSS. AS 1t Is an idea that
can be carried out by home decorators,
am passing it along to you.
The sketch gives an excellent idea of
the scheme. AS you see, it presents an
impressioniStic window box abloom with
gay posies. There is distinctly mod
crnistic note in the decoration. Instead
If real flowers and foliage, imitation
board and colorful paint are substituted.
The box is placed inside of the win
dow. AS the artificial wood does not
have to be thick, the box can fit into
any window without infringing percep-
tibly on the sill, however narrow.
The arrangement of flowers Is such
that the height comes at either end Of
the box, and hence at the sides of the
window, leaving the glass unobstructed
ior looking through. Also the light is
not excluded. Another excellent idea
in this decorative scheme is that when
the window is raised no blast of cold
cir will freeze the simulated plants or
nip the buds.
10 make a window decoration of this
set, extra heavy cardboard can be used,
or a light WEIGHT artificial wood made

the design is drawn, following the plan

Is A Promissory Note Negotiable

$4,000.
For value received, I promise to
pay to Jacob Lockwood or order the
sum of $700. in three years from
this date, with interest to be paid
semi-annually. with the privilege OF
anticipating payment upon said sum
in whole or in part at any time.
DUDLEY TILDEN. a.
After receiving this promisSory note,
Jacob Lockwood requested Alfred RAN
dali to discount it for him. Alfred
Randall did so and thereafter Tilden
made him number of payments re-
ducing the amount to $500. When this
balance was reached, however, Tilden
refused to continue paying, asserting
that Lockwood had failed to fulfill the
terms of a contract that had been the
occasion for his making the note. Ran
dali reminded him that, as the note
had been properly negotiated to him
for value before maturity he was not
interested in any disputes between the
original parties regardless of the justi-
liability of any claims.
Randall had properly cited the law,
but it was found not applicable TO his
note, as he learned later when the
court rendered the following decision:
In order that promisSory note
may be negotiable one of the requisites
Is that both time and amount must
be definite and certain. This note is
certain on neither point because of the
privilege granted therein of anticipating,
payment. Accordingly, the holder OF
the note takes it subject to the claims
between the original parties"

It is a fairly fortunate day for facing

ones accounts. Deficits are supposed

The clergy may find congregations
inattentive or even critical under this
sway of the stars. Women may be less
responsive to religious admonition than
they were before the new year began.
Peace moves will be numerous, it is

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Keeping Appointments.

The most aggravating people in the
world are those who habitually show
up late for their appointments. There
are a few of these in the world. perhaps
5 per cent of the general population.
These few constitute two unique psyche
logical types. for which some explana-
ton might not be out of place.
According to that. versatile psycholo-
gist, DR.. Sigmund Freud, those who
keep their appointments on the dot are
nervous. A strange sort OF anxiety grips
them the moment an appointment is
made and does not release its hold
until the meeting is over. So they are
eager to get the business, whatever it
is. off their minds The Freudian theory
assumes indirectly. therefore. that since
the prompt are nervous those who are
not prompt are not nervous.
Freuds explanation does not seem TO
stack up with the facts. You can set
your clock by the coming and going OF
the levcl-headcd, prosperous business
and professional men in your COM
munity. Day after day they pass a
given point at the same time.
At least a goodly number OF those
who are habitually late at appointments
represent the very opposite of the
Freudian theory. Those who are not
prompt are the nervous critters. You
see this nervousness creeping out after
they get down to the business at hand.
IFS" and lands" come thick and fast.
They do everything to postpone deci-
sions. They feel exactly as you do when
you have an engagement with your
dentist, knowing that he has decided
to use the forceps. A contemplated
trip to the corner grocery store seems
to assume an Importance big enough
to prompt you to call up the dentist
to seek a postponement of your en-
gagement.
There is, however. another reason
why some people are habitually late
at their appointments. There is class
of self-appraised near-great. who feel
that they must impress their self-sup-
posed Importance upon other people.
The longer they can keep you waiting
the more kick they get out of it. While
there appears to have been little study
of this class usually politicians just
elected to office, the modern psycholo-
gist is tempted to say that these late
corners are suffering from feeling of
inferiority and that they compensate
for that feeling by putting the other
fellow. perhaps a whole audience, in
an inferior situation.

This is true of the hair tonic. also.

I keep the formulas simple deliberately.

H K-After you have tried good
tonics and other methods for improv-

had no success, you should consult a

such cases usually yield quickly under
the directions of a person who has
