“ The proudest moment of our lives had come!” “It was our home I There were two glistening tears in Mary’s eyes, yet a smile was on her lips. I knew what she was thinking. “Five years before, we had started bravely out together. The first month had taught us that two cannot live as cheaply as one. “Then one night Mary came to me. ‘Jim,’ she said, ‘why don’t you go to school again — right here at home? You can put in an hour or two after lupper each night while I sew. Learn to do some one thing. You'll make good — I know you will.’ “Well, we talked it over and I took up a course with the International Correspondence Schools. It was surprising how rapidly the mysteries of our busi¬ ness became clear to me. In a little while, an opening came, I was ready for it and was promoted — with an increase. Then I was advanced again. There was money enough to lay even a little aside. It certainly was a lucky day for us when I sent in that I. C.

It’s in the air. ^ And so are hubbies whose wives have new hats on the brain. Terrible to think what a poor meal ticket has to produce now¬ adays! But here’s a laugh on the other side of somebody’s face. None other than Harry Langdon, who is no more a husband than my Aunt Emma, has discovered, much to his sorrow, that it’s pretty hard for a man of his demands to save on the overhead. Harry ordered three hats for himself. Count ’em. One. Two. Three. Now guess what the amount of the invoice was. You can’t. Well, you can’t be blamed, for blimey if it wasn’t $120. Yes, sir. One hundred and twenty dollars for three hats — forty iron men apiece — made to order (the hats, not the money) — and if you don’t believe us, ask Harry’s press agent, he’ll make you believe anything. Well, well, if money talks, Har¬ ry’s certainly talking through his hat! ooo AND speaking of golfing, here’s a rich item we ran across. It reads: “Farrell MacDonald, the star' clown in ‘The Four Devils,’ is a noted humorist off the screen, except when fishing and golfing.” And we suppose when Farrell plays golf and fishes he just hu¬ mors himself along. <xx> STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGE¬ MENT, CIRCULATION, ETC., REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS OF AUGUST 24, 1912, of FILM FUN, published monthly at New York, N.
