tory would doubtless haya been about a
transaction in second-hand automobiles

As It was, the occasion of the Sackottn'
party resolved Itself Into a somewhat
complicated nttalr, Involving, flrt, a Joke
on Freda. then a Joko on the Jokers.
and. ftnnlly well, really, about the onlv
person the Joke wasn't on, aa you will
roadlly see later, waa tha plumber.
It all began with Dlakeley'a not tell
bir Freda, definitely, aa he usually did.
that he would call for her, and tako hop
to Maud 8aokotfa. party, to whtoh they
were both Invited, Consequently. Freda,
ihrouded in her otd rose evening capo,
and looking plquaAtly charming: aa sh4
always did, Waited patiently for a half
hour or so for Olakeley. Then she tele
phoned hi houso and discovered that he
had left home a considerable time ago.
Perplexed. Freda started for Maud'a by
way of tho dilatory atrcet car. and ar
rived just in time to see Blakeley alight
from hi runabout and turn to assist In
her descent pretty llttto Bvclyn Mrvcy,

on tha scene.
So, at .the very start of the evening,
were assembled atl the olementa whtaa

or a play that will run two seasons to a
full house that IS. the eternal triangle,
with all its possibilities for loye, hatred,
jenlousy and compromising Situations.
.And, in addition, there was the plumbor.
N'pw, when Evtlyn Macy discovered
that the Sackettn actually hod doWn In
their cellar, on tho 'night of Halloween, a
perfectly good plumber, engaged though
he .was In discovering n dislocation in
a line of steam pipes, aha aaw in tha
olroumstance what no one elso did.
, To' Mrs. Backett It watf a marvel that
they had been able to secure any one
at all to work at that time of night
to Mr. Saokett It was Just another proof
of his luck that he had to havo n
8 lumber after union hours to MauiI
ackett It waa an unmitigated nuisance
to havo the tap-tap of his tools tra cl
ing up along the radiators and disturb
ing the Halloween atmosphere she had
contrived so skillfully to produce.
Dut to Evelyn well, listen as she ex
plains to the crowd, carefully choosing
a moment when Freda Is In the den talk

'Girls and 'everybody listen I When
Freda oomes back, let's do that regular
stunt of going down cellar with a mirror
and a lighted candle to discover the man
you're going to marry. We'll send Freda
first, and. believe me, Freda's so super
stitious she'll believe whatever she tees,

Announcing the Opening of
Tne
Little
Phunopaph
Shop
Wanamaker's Down Stairs Store
Featuring a Splendidly Built
New- Phonograph
L'Artiste at $90
which was specially pnduced, at our suggestion, by
one of the best makers of phonographs in America.
L'Artiste is of sound, solid construction and the
tone quality is exceptionally clear and pure, with none
of the disagreeable scratching sounds that are sa an
noying. It has an all-wood amplifier, which does away
with any metallic reverberation.
Another excellent point about L'Artiste is the
modulator, which regulates the strength of tone, and,
as it is on the outside, it can be adjusted after the lid
is down and the playing begun.
L'Artiste stands 40 inches high by 19 wide and
21 deep. The sides are solidly constructed and the
surfaces are finished with a fine mahogany veneer.
Inside there are wooden shelves for records.
The price is $90, which is remarkably low for a
phonograph of such excellence, and it is payable at
the rate of
$5 Down and $5 a Month
Or, if you prefer, you can take the first $5 out in records.
In the Little Phonograph Shop we will feature
OKeh Records
in which there is an excellent choice of vocal and instrumental numbers
double-faced and are $1 each.
