It hurt his class pride and his personal y self-esteem that she should take pleas- ure In the man's soclety. Bee never had been well-broken to harness, He set his thin lips tight and resolved that he would stand no nonsense of this: sort after they were married. If she wanted to flirt it would have to bé with.some one in their own set. Beatrice could not understand her- self. She knew that she was behav- ing ‘rather Indiscreetly, though she did not-fathom the cause of the restless- uess that drove her to Clay Lindsay. the truth is that she was longlng for an escape from the empty life she was leading, had heen seeking one for years without knowing it. Surely this round of soclal frivolities, the chatter of these silly women ana smug tailor- made men, could not be all there was to life. She must have been made for something better than that, And when she was with Clay she knew she had heen. He geve her a vision of life through eyes that had known open, wide spifces, clean, whale- some, and sun-kissed. He stood on his own feet and did his own thinking. Stmply, with both hanas, he took hold of problems and examined them stripped of all trimmings. The man was elemental, but he was keen and broad-guuged. It amazed her one day to learn that he had read Willlam Jumes and understood his philosophy much better than she did. There was in her mind no Intention whatever of letting herself do any- thing so foolish as to marry him. But there were moments when the thought of it had a dreadful fascination for her. She did not invite such thoughts to remain with her. For she meant to accept Clarendon Bromfield In her own good time and make her soctal position in New York absolutely secure, She had been In the fringes too long not to appreciate a chance to get Into the social Holy of Holles. . . . . . A bow-legged little man in a cheap, wrinkled suit with a silk kerchiet lkuotted loosely round his neck stopped In front of a window where a gir! was selling stamps. “I wantta see the postmaster,” E “Corrid'y'right.

Since the sport has become so popu- lar, there is little room left for the cumbersome pathing outfit >f yester- year. The comfortable form fittirg Buit, cut wide at the shoulder to in- gure freedom of arm movement, is the the order of the day. While the fashionable sct experi- mented with bathing suits of woven materials, during the past Palm Beach season, this was but aflare f fashion, that soon gave way to the welcome return of the knitted suit. The non- clinging and non-chilling qualities of knitted material now leave the knit- ted bathing suit unchallenged in its field. In addition to suits ot one color, some of which bear embroidery vary- ing from pure geometrical designs to conventional sea sul glects. there are two-color effects. -Here we Have a most attractive example, made of pure worsted. The skirt is laced and allows for fullness. The up'{)erpartnnd the knickers are of a different color and may be had in cardinal, Kelly green or sand combination. A tations afford colorful and pictur- esque backgrounds. The large and notable cast was selected with a view to both ability and type, It is headed by Jean Paige as Betty Malroy and included Maclyn Arbuckle as Judge Price, Ernest Torrance as his friend Ma- haffy, Earl Fox as Bruce Carrington, the riverman who loves Betty; Arthur Carew as Colonel Fentress, the “heavy”; Horace Braham} (Charles Kent, Charles Eaton as the boy Han- nibal, ‘Robert Missach, George Ban- croft, Peggy Shanor, Lillian Van Arsdale, Mrs, Marry Curen and the six Curren children, and many others. “THE DEVIL” AT THE GRAND THEATRE AGAIN TONIGHT Suave, bantering, cynical; clever, crafty, with subtle innuendoes, “The Devil” ensnared an artist, a model, a banker and his wife in a diabolical plot to overcome Truth with Evil. “The Devil” was one of Mr George Arliss’ greatest stage char- acterizations. As portrayed on the sereen, it is a character delineation to live and roll down the vears of photoplay history as an interpreta- tion without par.

To say that is is a most unusual production is’ putting ir. mildly. It is one of the finest productions we have ever seen, and when it is shown at our favorite theatre we will go see it again. That’s how good we think it is. The story is wonderful. The star, Florence Reed, is also wonderful. All star cast. Story has punch and is elaborately produced. Artistically fit is far above the average, but its entertainment value is what impressed us most. W. K.
