FOR AN AFTERNOON AT PLAY

Mrs. Oldway Made Up Both as to Mind and Costume to Enjoy Little Driveroion. It was on one, of those rare occasions when Mrs. Oldway tore herself away from her domestic duties to seek amusement in the neighboring town, and, dressed in her best, she stood on the" roadside, waiting for a trolley car to take her to the moving -picture show. “Are you going alone, Mrs. Oldway?” some one asked. “I presume I am,” she replied with the additional elegance and condescension of manner which she always put on with her best gown. “My daughter Eleanor has the supper dishes to wash, and it is hardly impossible that she can complete her task in time to take the car with me. But I never repine at loneliness, and these moving picture shows get one’s mind so excited that one can’t hardly help thinking of anything else. Last time I attended one there was quite a crowd, for it was bargain day at Rockville, and the country people had come to town to advantage themselves of the opportunity to purchase cheaply. I had to stand through the entire performance. But I never minded. I find these little driversions greatly relieve the monopoly ” Here the trolley car arrived and whisked Mrs., Oldway ofT to her “little driversion.”
