FLASHES FROM "STARS"
"It is an open question," says William Collier,
"whether the married man had best take tho
blame upon himself after a quarrel with his
wife and endeavor to smooth matters over
peaceably or not. Sometimes the wife Is so
snippy and Indifferent after the poor man's
efforts that he regrets having taken this course.
I know a young couple of the stage to whom
Just this sort of thing happened.
"They had been quarreling, and tho young
husband, regretting it nnd bnln anxious to
'make up,' brought a little gift for tho wife.
" 'Edna,' he said, 'come here. Aren't yoil
curious to know what Is In this package?'
" 'Oh, not very,' replied Edna, belligerently,
as she glanced at the package In question. 'I
rather think I can endure the strain.'
" 'Well,' he said, coaxlngly, trying to win her
to good humor, it's something for tho one 1 Iovo
best In all tho world. Now, guess!'
" 'Indeed!' sniffed Echia, as she started to
leave the room. 'I suppose, then, It's that pair
of new trousers you said you needed.'

the schools are made Into hospitals and ther
Is no money In the banks. Slio herself cannot

of deposits. She also says thoro is no way of
getting out of Paris, all the trains being used
by the Government. So I suppos that as soon
as sho can get away she will come over here.
For my own sake. If I wore not so worried for
my mother, and If I were sure sho was safe, I
would sacrifice five lambs to the gods, because
