I pueed back mid forth nerow, the

It all seemed like a fiendish dream
that was beyond reality. Each, minute

It was too much for me. I could
not Mtund the ntiffocnting agony of my j

I Kent and clung to him, crying bitter-

I routined now that he waa taking j

that thia waa the consequence of the

I waited a minute. At first I did

that I did not blame him.
Suddenly the telephone bell rang
loudly, and J struggled to my feet to
answer it. I felt ao weak and my
nerves wore broken and yet the sud

me with a passionate hope. It gave
me strength to answer it, strength to
forco my exhausted body into action
again. I run lied blindly down the hall
toward the telephone. The distance
never seemed so long and I thought
I would faint before I reached it.

In New York
NEW YORK. Jan. 21. The most
THtgar crowds in New York are the
first-night theater audiences, it seems
to me. ,

walk down the aisle. They slop to
greet ncqiiulntrnnnrcs already seated,

are In parties of four or more, keep
up a running conversation throughout
the evening. There is little consider
ation for others intent on observing
the performance.
Admissions to first nights are gen
erally higher than for other perform
ances. That Is particularly true of
'musical shows. This is so because
there is a certain clUpio which thinks
that It Is tho "smart" thing to at
tend opening nights.
.
First-night vulgarity Is also dis
played In dress. Last night I saw a
wiiinnn in a very decollete gown In
an upper box nt the Century. The
house was chilly and drnflv. While
the show was on and the house dark
she put her wrap about her, hut when
the lights went on during Intermission
she laid aside her wrap and began to
fan herself with an Immense red os
trich fan.
'And why Is It that women with the
ugliest bodies wear the scantiest
gowns? Most of the bare hacks T see
nt first-nights remind me of nothing
en much as great slabs of beef in
butcher shops decorated with fringes
of green or red.
Green, by the way, is far the most
popular color for evening gowns this
Reason.
These some people who disturb oth
ers by late arrivals create further
disturbance by early departures. They
must be on their way to some cabnret
or private midnight function. F.vi
dently they go to the theater simply
to any that they have been there.
