FOR CHARITY
THE ELUSIVE SIkPENCE Business was brisk at the entrance to the concert chamber last evening and the programmes for “Daddy Long-Legs” sold as quickly as the girls could hand them out. One little girl was selling like a machine. Suddenly her hand slipped and the silver she was holding scattered to the floor in a metallic shower. Youths, admiring and otherwise, assisted in recovering the elusive silver. One sixpence had rolled across the mat and was missed by the collectors. But not by one man. He fixed it with a firm stare from where he stood on the footpath outside. As soon as the programme seller turned her back he shuffled inside, snapped up the sixpence, and wandered across to view the exhibited photographs of the players. Then he wandered out into the street again. “Daddy Long-Legs” was a charity performance.
