Several recognized me. Sent out a few cards to friends and one to mother. Thursday. —Bad day. Could not take any pictures. Loafed all day, played cards, and wrote a few letters. Too bad the weather man is not more kind to me. I want to work. Thursday.— Had an exciting experi- ence today. A young lady That was as far as I got, for just then the door opened and Eaiie Wil- liams came over to the table where I sat. I looked up, embarrassed, mak- ing no attempt to conceal the truth. He looked at me curiously, and I could not tell whether he was angry or just sorry. For a moment neither of us spoke. "I see you are copying from my private book," he said quietly, then sighed. "But you said I might look at all the books and do anything I liked," with a pretense of wounded pride. "Did I?" he said thoughtfully. "Perhaps I did—I never thought of those—how stupid of me! Well, I guess there's no harm done; but you wont print any of it, of course?" he added, looking up anxiously.

We'll go over to the Imperial and have a bite, and then take in a show." "Is it necessary to go over to New York to get something to eat and to see a show?" I asked, being a loyal Brooklynite. "Oh, no; I frequently dine in Brooklyn, and sometimes in the cheap restaurants," he replied; "and, if you say so, we'll patronize home in- dustries tonight." And we did. And—would you be- lieve it ?—I did not say a word about diaries all evening, and neither did Mr. Williams. He probably forgot. He is such a whole-souled, generous, good-natured, sensible fellow that it would be a pity to take advantage of him. Perhaps I should not have handed in these extracts from the diary of one of the greatest photo- play artists on earth, and probably the most popular one. But Mr. Williams did not tell me not to, did he?
