"PAID IN FULL" AT THE
"Paid In Full."
Harper's Weekly, in speaking ..f Eu
gene Walter's play, "I'.ii.t in Full,"
pays: "The third act of the American
play, 'Paid in Full,' which is prfs-nieii
at the Astor Theatre, is : fi.r v.liieli
the author, Mr. Eugene W.ilrr. de rc"
much commendation. The pl.iy. train
beginning to end, iseNtremely well d"ii"
both by playwright and- company, and
'with interest' might well be adilnl to
the title as an expression of what the
audience derives from it.
"The play deals with humble poisons;
humble, that is, in conipiiii.-uii uith tlie
'high society' folk one is accustomed to
see strutting through th- measures of
social drama. The reason for calling at
tention to Mr. Walter's third act is, that
he has made it just what it should ie
quick, alert, full of interest, and a strik
ing climax, of the play. Alter seeing it
there was a reasonable suspicion that a
fourth act might spoil tiie drama, at
least might de.-troy the force of the third.
However, Mr. Walter's fourth act does
not mar his play in any way; if any
thiugit adds hi ticji'iu i:lingliie strength
of the one which preceded it."
"Paid in Full" will be the attraction
at the Lyric on Thursday, Dec
.11, ew
Year's Eve. Wagenhals and Kemper
promise a fine production and a notable
cast of players. The play is in its sec
ond year in New York and has also to
its credit a run of over live months in
Chicago.
Power to Executive Elbows.
It Is generally conceded by review- j
ers of the great struggle between the
states that a strong man In the White
House In ISfiO might have saved the
country from civil war over the slae
controversy. Lincoln took the helm In
1SG1, and the guns of Sumter forced
him to act vigorously. For four yearn
he kept doing things to back up the
bold Initiative he had taken the mo
ment the flag was fired upon. Since
that era the demand has been steadily
growing for executives of strong per
sonality. Even governors who will do
lh'nzs are wanted, and the iaot xtir
tin;.' clectlon-i In the states often turn
rpon the personality of the candidal.
for governor rather than the claim: of
party.
A writer In the Atlantic Monthly tsil'.e
tho ground that the old school Uieorle
of government have been overthrow:,
and the tendency today is lo hold
president:? and governors responsible
for what legislators do or fail lo do.
While "executive aggression" U some
times condemned, it Is tilo bi t'.ily ex
tolled and by the very same voices.
In the long run the exe.-utlve who de
votes his energies solely to the good
of the state has the support of the
masses, for
;it heart the people are
not partisans. They want some sort ea up some very gay uinner some
of program put through and look to , where"
h f .i. , .i ii "I was going to dine with Boots
the man at Uie top to do It.
As to fourth class postmasters,
America is too easily an all around
winner to have a fourth class at any
thing. Bomethlng to cure that "misery In
tho back" caused by lifting the $8,
000,000,000 crop from the ground to
the granary would be more welcome
to most farmers than a dose of moral
uplift.
Haiti can muster a good sized army
at any time by simply drafting the
"generala" in the ranks of presiden
tial aspirants.

lioiiesdale merchants had a line Christ

that too large ; percentage of it came
from tlia. nougli. their local stores
si;:f.'ri:ig in consequence. Doubtless this
N in a measure true, but it is equally a
fact that our dealers suffered much
throiign oiit-i'!'1 buying. Many orders
were "v-nt off for g'id, especially of the
mote expvnshe kind, which could have
been placed here juM as satisfactorily
as to quality, and economically as to
prices. .So on the whole, what was gain
ed in one way was probably lost in an
other, and this brings us back to the
position taken by Tiik Citizen several
weeks' since, that the proper motto for
' the people, of the smaller towns especial
ly is to "buy at home." As to what
effect the proposed trolley service
, between Honesdale and Hawley might
have on the trade of the two towns,
there is little need of speculation just at
present. It is pretty evident at least
that the New Year shopping won't be
seriously affected by it. Here is the

goij at the West Hawlev station on
Saturday. There were also a large
number of tickets sold from Hawley to
Scranton during the week. .Most of
these people did their Christmas shop
ping in one or both ot the above places
and it is safe to say that many hundreds
of dollars were taken out ol town that
should have been left here. What seems
to be the trouble with the stocks of our
local merchants that they nae ceaseu
to appe;! to local buyers? Are they
shoddy, s-hopworn, too cheap or too
dear, too small or incomplete V What
ever the trouble, it is time for our local
merchants to sit up, or wake up, and
take notice. This is a matter that de
serves their serious consideration. Prob
ably never in the history of Hawley has
so much Christinas buying been done
out of town.
"The question naturally arises What
would a tio'.ley line between Honesdale
and Haw ley do to Hawley'."'
The Younger Set.

Selwyn stayed until he made peace (
with bis sister, then he mounted to the 1
nursery to "lean over" the younger
children and preside at prayers. This
being accomplished, he descended to
tho library, where Eileen Erroll in a
filmy, lace clouded gown, full of tur
quoise tints, reclined with her arm
around Drlna amid heaps of cushions,
watching the waitress prepare n table i
for two. i
He took the fresh, cool hand she ex- ;
tended nnd sat down on tho edge of i
her couch.
"All O. K. again?" he inquired, re
taining Eileen's baud lu his.
"Thank you quite. Are you really
going to dlno with us? Are you sure j
you want to? Oh, I know you've glv-

I think I'll telephone"
"Telephono him to come here!" beg
ged Drlna. "Would he come? Oh.
please I'd love to have him."
"I wish you would ask him," said
Eileen; "It's been so lonely and stupid

So Sclwyn went to tlio telephono

enraptured, ordered flowers to be
brought from the dining room and a
large table set for four, with particu

Mr. Archibald Lansing arrivnd very
promptly, a short, stocky young man
of clean and powerful build, with dark.

His manner with Drlna was always
delightful, a mixture of self repressed
Idolatry and busily nairc belief In a
thorough understanding between them
to exclude Sclwyn from their com
pany. "This Selwyn fellow here!" he ex
claimed. "I warned him over the
phone we'd not tolerate him, Drlna,
explained to him very carefully that ,
you and I were dining together In ,
strictest privacy."
"He begged so hard," said Eileen.
"Will somebody place an extra pillow
for Drlna?" 1
They seized the same pillow fiercely,
confronting each other: massacre an-
pcared Imminent.
"Two pillows," said Drlna sweetly,
and extermination was averted. The
child laughed happily, covering one
of Boots' hands with both of hers.
So you've left the service, Mr. Lan
sing?" began Eileen, lying back and i
looking smilingly at Boots.
"Had to. Miss Erroll. Seven million-
aires ran Into my quarters and chased i

L sample of how the wealthy grind

The child slipped her hand from his,
milling uncertainly.
"You don't mean all that, do you?"
"Indeed, I do, sweetheart."

"Only a private in the workman's

"I don't care," retorted the child ob
stinately. "I like you just as much."
"How tall you're growing, Drlna."
(cmarked Selwyn.
"Probably the early spring weather,"
idded Boots. "You're twelve, aren't
rou?"
"Thirteen," said Drina gravely.
"Almost time to elope with me,"
nodded Boots.
"I'll do It now," she said "as soon
as my new gowns are made If you'll
take me to Manila. Will you? I be

She caught Eileen's eye and stopped
short "I forgot," she murmured. "I
beg your pardon. Uncle Philip."
Boots was talking very fast and
laughing a great deal. Eileen's plate
claimed her undivided attention. Sel
wyn quietly finished his claret The
child looked at them all.
"By tho way." said Boots abruptly,
"what's the matter with Gerald? He
came In before noon looking very
leedy." Selwyn glanced up quietly.
"Wasn't he at the office?" asked Ei
leen anxiously.
"Oh, yes." replied Selwyn. "He felt
a trifle under tho weather, so I sent
him home."
"Is It the grip?"
"X-no, I believe not"
"Do you think he had better have a
tloctor? Where Is he?"
"He was here," observed Drlna com
posedly, "and father was angry with
him."
"What?" exclaimed Eileen. "When?"
"This morning before father went
, rlowntown."
Both Selwyn and Lansing cut In cool
ly, dismissing the matter with n care
less word or two. and coffee was scrv
'ed, cambric tea In Drlna's case.
"Come on." said Boots, slipping a
bride rose into Drlna's curls. "I'm
ready for confidences."
"Confidences" had become an estab
