V., and Harry Frankel who is home on a vacation, will take part. The best local talent in the city is taking part in the rehearsals.

BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER. CHAPTER XX. (Copyright, 1915, The Star Co.) The day after Mrs. Simmons' party Isabel Hamilton took her evening
dress out to be cleaned. The young
woman in charge of the cleaning and dyeing establishment promised to have the gown satisfactorily renovated within ten days. It woud cost two and a half dollars. "It's a bit hard on John," Isabel reflected, "but he offered to pay for the
damage. Now I will get new evening ; gloves, as he told me to." j She went down town and got the: long gloves. She winched as she j learned the price. They were four i dollars and twenty-five cents a pair. She bought them at a shop at which John had allowed her to open an ac- j count. "Have them charged," she told ' the clerk. I But she did not wait for the arrival ! of the bill to inform John of what she , had done. She did wait, however, until he seemed in a particular genial mood. Then she remarked: "It was sweet of you, dear, to offer ' to pay for cleaning my light blue gown, and for the new gloves to re-: place those we ruined the night we i wetn to Mrs. Simmons'. The dress ' will be done in a little over a week. It : will cost two-fifty." i "All right," John rejoined pleasant-; ly. He thrust his hand into his pocket and drew out the money. "I may as well give it to you now, so that you will have it when the dress comes in." "Oh, thank you, John," Isabel said. "But," regretfully, "the gloves cost almost twice as much. I had .them ; charged." "Twice as much!" John repeated.!
"You mean to say gloves are as expensive as that?" "Indeed they are," she told him. "Long evening gloves such as I need
with that blue gown cost four-twen- j ty-five. And they are cheap at that, j You see now why I was so distressed . when I ruined the other pair." "Great Scott!" John exclaimed.! "Were the others ruined beyond re-
pair? Can't anything be done with them?" "I'm afraid not," she returned doubtfully. She had not thought of this possibility since John had promised her a new pair. "And anyway, it's too late now, for I have had the new gloves fitted to me and have ordered them sent home." He Asks Isabel to Discharge Cynthia.
"Well I suppose it can't be help-;
ed." the husband remarked. Isabel laughed. She had gotten off more easily than she had feared. "Yes," she said, "they come high
above the elbow but we must have j them." John smiled at her little joke, then : looked gravq. "You might have wait-: ed until you really needed the things i before getting them." j "I didn't dare do that." Isabel explained. "For some occasion might arise when I would want them within a few days. As for the dress I have two others that are all right for small evening affairs but the blue one is the only really handsome and elaborate evening gown I have." "I see," her husband agreed. "And we must do some entertaining soon. By the way, you will give Cynthia no- , tice when her month is up, won't you?" ! "I'll see about it," the wife evaded, i
"If I have a plain talk with her she may do better." "I doubt it," John demurred. "And remember to explain to her that if she wants to stay she's got to cook better than she does now. By paying $5 more a month you might get a first class cook." "I don't want to pay more," Isabel objected. "I can't. Can you?" "I cannot," John declared with finality. If he could pay for entertaining his friends, he might pay for a servant, the woman mused. Yet she would not "start anything" by discussing this now. He had been good about the gloves and gown, so why argue? She found it hard to refrain from argument, however, when, a few days later, the evening mail brought her a letter from Ida Ferris. She read it in the living room where she and John sat together. She looked up from it with happy eyes. "Dear," she said, "isn't this nice? Ida Ferris wants us to dine with her next Wednesday evening a week from tonight. I'm awfully glad that my dress will be ready by that time, and that I got my new gloves the other day." Her joy was not reflected in her husband's countenance. "Wednesday?" he repeated. "A week from tonight?" He hesitated as if disliking to dash her expectations. "Isabel, I declare it's too bad, and I'm mighty sorry, but I have another engagement for that night an engagement I made only today." He Refuses to Break His Own Engagement. Her face fell. "Oh," she lamented, "that's too bad! But can't you break it? Is it business?" "Well, no," he explained, "not ex
actly business but it simply cannot be broken. It is at the club. A chap who used to be one of us, and has been living in France, is to be in New York for a few days, and we are giving him a supper at the club that night. I have promised to be present, and, of course, to do my share." "There will be a lot of other men there," Isabel argued. "Surely you can be excused." "No, I can't," he insisted. "The fellows would have a right to be peeved with me if I did such a thing after telling them I would surely help them do the honors." "But Ida is having this dinner especially for us," his wife said. "And as her husband is going away on a business trip the very next day, and will be gone for a month, she can't put it off. Which place would you rather go to?" she asked suddenly. The man flushed. "That is not the question," he parried. "No matter where I wanted to go, I must keep my promise already made." "And I promised Ida we would dine with her any night she would set." Isabel said. "So I am breaking my promise if I don't go. I really believe," accusingly, "you don't want to go to Ida's." "We won't enter into any dispute, my dear," John said, picking up his paper. "I simply cannot get out of this

NEW HAVEN, May 27. In the last three years 442 persons were killed and 394 injured on the right of way of the New Haven railroad, the company announced today. In a majority of cases these persons were not tramps. They were using the right of way to make a short cut, or boys or young men stealing rides on freight trains. The heaviest loss of life was in the summer months.

"STAR The Pocket-Pal of All Good Fellows"
Men Who Chew Are Men Who DO
TMjjO men more fully enjoy the jolly companionship of good chewing tobacco than the foresters who conserve America's standing timber. These big, brave, brawny men, as ready to fight a forest fire to a stand-still as they are to take a twenty mile "hike" in the dead of night, are STAR pluggers as well as STAR chewers. They find STAR mighty pleasant company when they're alone and when they meet a traveler they're glad to pass their plug to him. They know that STAR is good for one and better for two.
Each STAR plug is thick with a thickness of long lasting, mellow chewing leaf that just suits to a "T" the taste of Americans. Each STAR plug weighs a full 16 ounce pound, every time. Each plug is made clean and kept so; a STAR plug won't dry out like a thin plug and the taste lasts. It will just take you but a few seconds to cut off a chew of STAR and
get it into your mouth to understand why STAR is the leadir
brand of the world.
