FIANCEE, $18; 'BOSS' 1 CENT; HIS VALENTINE'S DAY COSTS Launcclot's Expenses Exceed His "Weekly Insult" by S3. Luuncclot McGlnnis Is a nice oung man. He's a clork In a downtown office, and for his labors gets 15 fifty-two times a year. Ofttlmcs Lancelot Is tempted to call this his weekly "Insult"; particularly Is this truo nround Valentine time. For Launcclot has a girl. She Isn't an extiavagant girl, but on Valentine's Day Cupid demands that nil thoso who feel the divine spark of lovo express It in some tangible way, nnd Launcelot's flnncce would be sure tn think he had hU eyes on thnt blonde office person who works side by side with him If ho didn't send her the customary lovo tokens. And so he's been saving up. Yesterday, with a determined air, ho sallied foith. This Is what he bought: Heart-shaped box of bonbons with an over-fed, under-dressed Cupid wielding a gilded arrow sportively on tho lid 3. Heart-shaped box of fragrant violets (enough to assure tho girl's friends that ho wns NOT making $15 per) $5. Two theatre' tickets $3. After the orgy of spending was over, Launcclot had $5 and some small change .remaining In his pocket. "Tho flvo spot will buy an nfter-then-tro supper," he said, and caressed the xmall change nftccttonately. Just then his eyo lighted on a Valentine It wasn't one Inspired by the god of love. It de picted a miserly, Silas Marner-sort-of-person and was entitled "The Tight wad." "Tho very thing for Old Scrooge" which was Launcelot's tender way of re ferring to his employer. "Maybe If f feud It to him he'll -Bee the error of his ways and shell out." Tho "Tight-wad" cost exactly 1 cent. Now Lnuncelot U no philosopher. He's a clerk. But taken all In all he has de cided thnt It's much less expensive to "sat sty the most towering grudge than the Grande passion. The girl knows nothing nf this, but she's convinced of Launce lot's love. DEER RACE RAILROAD TRAIN Animals Victors in Itun From Wis- sahickon to School Lane.

SlX Wr TJ CHINESE HEW YEAR CELEBRATED TODAY BY INDOOR SPORTS n i M - - ' Weird Music and Sounds of Revelry Heard From Chinatown's Back Par lors Joss House Deserted dongs clanged at brief, Intervals and Chinese musicians discoursed strange sounds In Chinatown's back parlors today, while the punk sticks that the enlightened use to drive away mosquitoes fumed thickly before Joss godsnil to celebrate tho Chinese New Tear, which reached hern yesterday and won't stop until mid' night tontght It la the fourth year of the Chinese Republic, and the CTSZd of tiia ancient dynasties, whichever you choose, though most of the Inhabitants of Chinatown like to think of the new republic designation ns the proper one. Chinese New Year's cards that can hardly be distinguished from your laundry tickets wero delivered by the postmen 'his morning. Tea, chicken yokamlne, Ahee nng (Chinese sausage) and many other things Chinese eat began disappear trig almost ns soon ns the colony looked out the windows nnd saw what sort of weather tho Now Year had brought. From 9th street to 10th on Race business has ceased. All the way from On Lonss delicatessen store, near the corner of 9th street, up to the King Wo Company's China and bric-a-brac emporium, shut tered doors proclaim a holiday. But the holiday Is largely kept Indoors. Tho last time thero was anything lively on tho stieets of Chinatown during New Year's parties a band of Tongs from New York fired off Roman candles and a revolver or two Into a parade marching under tho old yellow and black dragon flng. So now they stay Inside on Now Year's. PASSING OF JOSS HOUSE. This year the Joss Houso will have very little part In tho celebration, ac cording to Liang Chow, of tho Chinese Merchants' Association. He says the old religion went out with the new Re public and that now a Chinese has no religion, unless he's a Christian. Liang Chow Is not one. Tho Joss House, It appears has descended to a rather com mercial level. It Is ot 934 Race street up on the fourth floor. Slnco Its religion went out of fashion with tho coming of tho new Republic, the Joss House nunc out n sign to nttract visitors: "This way to the Chinese Temple." In the old days admission was difficult for the white mnn Four flights up Is a narrow passngo leading to a front room. A middle-aged Mongolian wearing n red sweater and n cap cnmo from a front room and waited expectantly. Overhead was a sign, "Flvo Cents to See." Ho took the money grate fully and you followed him Into tho front room. It was lined with gaudy clinlra facing a large flat table, behind which, In a deep recess, hung the picture of n long-mustached Celestial. The man In the red swenter and cap pays no at tention to visitors. Having got your ad mission, ho goes through the business with dispatch. WORSHIPING IN TEMPLE. On the flat table, ornately carved, lay a chicken, a red berry In Its beak. The worshiper lifted a cup of water from beside the chicken nnd poured a stream on the floor. Then ho hitched up hla trousers and knelt on a red pillow pre viously placed, bowing flvo times to the floor. Rising, ho reached out his hands toward the Joss and bobbed his head. A largo gong hung beside .the window, nround the corner from tho flat table. He walked around, struck It heavily with a mallet for two minutes nnd then sat In a chair and pointed at a sign overhead. It read: "Notice Bracelets, Incense, tea nnd ll-chestnut nro blessed by the Joss and nre called lucky charms." Today a few of the older Chinese are celebrating In the Joss House. To the faithful admission Is free. Horses nnd Hogs Saved From Eire Fire wrecked a barn at tho North Phila delphia stockyard.
