' l found myself at the theatre.. There was a tall man, in a full-dress suit, with a high silk hat, swinging a cane nonchalantly, who left the stage-door and entered a little Ford. mlll1C1'C goes the hero now, said a voice beside me. Now, l had had a good many strange experiences that day and had withstood them bravely. Hut when I dis- covered that the dear, darling, wise, cute little hero was none other than F. Russel Gokey-the shock was too much. I woke up. Mmm STizvENs THREE GUESSES-WAS HE A SENIOR? Miss D--: This book tindicating a rather torn rol- ume whieh lay on the deskl must be yours, S--.

Avenue l was attracted to a gaily lighted house from which the sounds of merriment, music and laughter floated out upon the evening breeze. Irresistibly I was drawn towards it. The first thing I heard was a conversation in which the name Miss Yandervilt was mentioned quite frequently, as about to go abroad. But the thing that interested me the most was that her private secretary, Miss Virginia llarnes, was lo accompany her. I.ucky girl! Now, I tell you, I heard another voice say, which was strikingly familiar, it's necessary for the price of silk fo go up because of the shortage of labor and materials. I, being the biggest silk merchant in the country, ought to know: so don't try to argue. The biggest silk merchant in the country-Ted Ruckert-for it was no other than he! l ventured to look around, and immediately my eyes rested upon a group of men and women, in the center of which .vas a young lady. They were all beseeching her to recite some of the poems that she had recently written. Others were begging her to write a verse in their auto- graphs. And who was this popular poet? Peggy lleales. Over to one side of the room there was another gather- ing. which from all appearances was having a lively political discussion. Drawing near I heard an argument upholding the Democratic principles given by a man whom the people called The Ambassador. The refutation was given by a woman who was called The Speaker and who made little the Democratic platform and praised the Republican. Desiring to find out more about these two, I began to make inquiries. The man. I found. was the American Ambassa- dor to England, who had just returned from that country. t'Yes, but who is he? I asked. The great diplomat, Francis Dominick, was the reply. And who is the woman ? I questioned. I.and sakes! Don't you know her? was the astonished exclamation. XYhy, she's the first woman Speaker of the IIULISC of Representatives that we've had. That's Henrietta I.ist. Finding nothing further of interest. I passed out again into the night. Theatre-goers were just coming home, and from their remarks I gathered that they had just seen one of the best plays ever written and acted. just simply wonderful, words can't describe the play.' was one remark I overheard. I bet that the one who wrote that play will be one of the most successful scenario writers ever produced, said another. lly the way, who did write it? asked still another. Ruth Coyle, I believe, was the answer. Hut, exclaimed a girlish .voiee, wasn't the hero just too cute for anything ? just perfectly darling! was the next exclamation I heard. XVhat words of wisdom Howed from his mouth, and how he rolled his r's, a studious voice broke in. And wasn't he a dear when he ejaculated, 'Some- thing's rotten in the state of Denmark?
