For some lime he devoted his time to newspaper work, until 1010 when he developed the immortal characters, Potash and I'erlmuller. Montague Class has also written many plays and books, among the latter lat-ter being "Uis llonor, Abe rot-ash," rot-ash," one of the most successful success-ful of the dozen of books about his loquacious brain-children. Mr. Glass, readers may be intersled in-tersled to know, is married and at present lives in the south of France. By MONTAGUE GLASS "AJy niece gut married last niglit to Has Treuniann but he don't luve tier," Abe l'otasli announced the otlier day. "Why, I thought lie was crazy about her!" Morris I'erlinutter ex-liaiiueo. ex-liaiiueo. "What uiaUes you think thai lie don't love her?" "Will, he was thirty years old last week." Abe said, "and Will Duranl, the uulhor of 'The Ten Best Philosophers Philos-ophers of V.1SI,' says thai it's Impossible Impos-sible for u nmn of thirty to fall in love or for a woman neither for that matter." "And how old Is tills here Will lmrant ?'' Morris asked. "1 don't know exactly, but 1 suspect lie's twenty-seven or twenty-eight," he replied, "which when he gets to be about thirty himself, Mawruss, he'll Hive out auother statement pushing the uge limit live years further, so that by the time he's seventy, y'under stand, he'll say that no man over sev nily-live can fall in love, and If he's Ind-riddeii at that time, he'll be bold In;; hands with the trained nurse and li'llins her confidentially that he Meant eighty-live." "Maybe you're right, because 1 don't know what the age limit for philoso jiliers is when it comes to falling in love," Morris said, "but 1 do know that many a millionaire of sixty or over has fallen so dangerously in love villi a prima donna of forty-live that liis relations have been thinking of jietlinj; out an Injunction to prevent the millionaire's fortune from being jiassed on by the prima donna to hei next husband or anyhow to the Casino at .Monte Carlo." "I'.ut you could't call that falling in love exactly so far as the prima donna don-na is concerned," Abe remarked. "Why not?" Morris asked. "Which I ain't no author of 'How to De a Philosopher iu Ten Lessons,' or any iich hook as. that, y'understand. but in the same time, Abe, I don't see no reason why a prima donna of forty-five forty-five shouldn't fall In love with a mil lionaire of sixty-seven not If I was on the jury which was trying the breach of promise case anyhow!" "I'm what this here Will Durunt 'a!ls falling In love is where a man or woman couldn't eat or sleep for fear of losing the party of the second part," Abe said. "In fact what this lu re Durant said was that any man ik woman couldn't show that true de votinn which Is the equivalence of falling iu love unless they was under thirty." "Well, that only goes to prove that lmrant may be a first class. A-nnm-lier-nne philosopher but that he ain't practical, because, Abe, (lowers, tlie-ayter tlie-ayter tickets, meals In restaurants end automobile riding has become so expensive nowadays that a man un ler thirty ain't got the money to show true devotion," Morris declared "Von can't show true devotion with one box ot mixed chocolates and bon bont every Saturday night In these times Abe. otherwise somebody over thirty will come along and show truer devo th n with a ten-dollar pair of seats for the Follies and dinner at a Park a-.-nue restaurant before the show in d how is a young feller of less than n : rt.v going to meet such competition u: iess he forges checks on his em pi-., vers or something?" There's a whole lot In what vou sav." Abe agreed, "although you are tapirs about falling In love from the s; .mtlpoiiit of n business man and aot n philosopher." "Maybe I am," Morris said, "but -- i-n people in love are more business-I:' business-I:' e than they used to be. Abe, ind j,,u'd be surprised at the number of romantic young Indies under thirty v.-ho, when they have fallen in love with a young man and then discover that he ain't got the price of n square-out square-out solitaire engagement ring, fall im mediately out of love again." "Then you don't agree with Will IHirant?" Abe asked. "1 don't say that I do, and I don't suv that I don't." Morris concluded. -But to my mind, Abe, nothing makes man look so youthful and loverlike In the eyes of a beautiful young L-lrl. than when he comes round to see 'ier villi a spray of orchids In one hand mid a square-cut six-carat solitaire diamond ring In the other." ) 1828 by the Bell Synrtlnnto 1"C.) |
