"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. Strange how ninny explanation of things said or written do not explain) LYRIC, DECEMBER 31st. Buy at ii iu true it is that meal is another man Home. "what is onenian's s poNon." While lioiiesdale merchants had a line Christ ina tra lc, t'.ie si.iwlev Times intimates 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 I plaint of the Times : A I,,.,,, 1'II ll, fj I I,. ..... .I..!,. 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. 'i outbuild from iiugeUi 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 when Nina rescued me. Poor Boots! I 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 Eileen reclined with her arm around Drlna. to Ho In bed with a red noso and fishy eyes and pains la one's back and limbs. Please do let us have a party." So Sclwyn went to tlio telephono add presently returned, saying that Boots was overwhelmed ana would be present at the festivities, and Drlna. enraptured, ordered flowers to be brought from the dining room and a large table set for four, with particu lar pomp and circumstance. Mr. Archibald Lansing arrivnd very promptly, a short, stocky young man of clean and powerful build, with dark. keen eyes always alert and humorous It 1 I ... I uJ3 our uit iuc vjav ui uugUiur un der bis dark mustache. 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.

That's L sample of how the wealthy grind ihc noses of the poor, Isn't It, Drlna?" The child slipped her hand from his, milling uncertainly. "You don't mean all that, do you?" "Indeed, I do, sweetheart." "Are you not any more, then?' a soldier lieutenant i shp Inquired, horrl- lily disappointed. "Only a private in the workman's battalion, Drina." "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 '.leve my Aunt Alixe Is there" 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."
