The dual personality has. its inception, "and Judge LeGarde, with distorted coun- tenance and the carriage of a thief, suddenly becomes metamorphized into a being of the underworld. He steals’ out of his house, and ‘on' his ramblings through the city ultimately finds him- self the habitue of a den known as the “Lame Duck.” Each night this same impulse steals over him, and each mornihg finds him unconscious at his desk, restored fo his original personality.

The story of “Hypocrites” briefly told, is' as follows: Gabriel, an ascetic monk of olden times, with infinite tofl and midst deepest secrecy, perfects an image of “Truth”—a beautiful woman. The, unveiling is made & fete day, and all ;gather, to listen to, the address of the abbott, who little dreaming of what Gabriel had been working at for so long, consented to unveil the statue, The covering is, pulled aside and there stands a ‘figure of “Truth.” The consequences of the unveiling are most . ‘disastrous to ‘Garbriel—the the ESTY” again as the minister of a modern cnurch.’ The same ideal light shines in his eves. He is still seeking “'Truth’ and his congregation is made up of the very same people,”who in the long ago stoned him to death. Left alone after service, the minister finds a newspaper, ‘dropped by = member of the choir, which contains a reproduc tion of Faugeron's painting: “The Truth.” Stirred by the picture, the minister fails in a reverie. He be- comes Gabriel again, and attended by “Truth” with her mirror, visits the various scenes:of the story. Truth with ‘her wondrous mirror showing him the real actions of the characters, What tales does it unfold?. A political orator haranguing the crowd, and while the poor dupgs are applauding the scamp, Truth- flashes her mirror and the orator is seen in the : back room of a gin mill' raking in: the “graft” that:is.being brought in to him by his scoundrelly henchmen. ‘At the same time you will be.given the opportunity to see the ‘“Base Uses” to which live is far too . oftén ‘turned. monks _and populace rusi upon him and kill him. . After a lapge of thousand years or so, we see Gabriel ; * ‘Home Does the American ‘hugband get a &quare. deal? Sometimes he does. someétimes he doesn’t. Mrs. Thetta Quay Franks, who propounds the startling question, ‘answers 1t herself when she says that unless the wife is as efficient in caring for the house and in spending the household allow- ance as the man is runniig his busi- ness and in earning the . money to support the home the husband is de- cidedly not geetting a square deal. The one thing which ‘is. needed is efficiency. Mrs. Franks, ¢yho ‘is the author of “Efficiency in the House- hold,” lectured on this subject before the Housewives’ league today in New York. There is one excuse for the house- keeper who has not taken her work serously enough, according to Mrs. Franks. Traced back far enough, the real fault rests with the men. “Women have looked upon house- work as inferior work until recently, and all too many do so yet. This is Lecause of the attitude of men, years ago, when they refused to give higher Then again it would make them neglect - their homes. Women felt they had to cnoose between: being housekeepers and having professions, But as a mat- { ter of fact the highest proiession a woman can practise is that of keeping house. That is because the modern | housekeeper must be - scientific and anust give thought 1o her work. - The Housewife's Duties, “To be a good lousekeépeg:tequi constructive genius and riginal Aork outside the home.-may bheconie xoutme, but a housekeeper always has emergencies to ‘face. There is net much originality required;. for in- stance, in pounding a typewriter day after day. The housekeeper on the | other hand, must watch constantly to sée what the state and the city are doing ‘which touches the nome, like laws in regard to adulteration of food and weights and measures. “It should be:a “'pleagure for a woman to plan meals; For instance, 1, have shown that it 'is possible to mnake out menus.for a year, providing simple, appetizing food at a reasonable cost and with no menu being repeated _ within {hrce weeks. For variety in iood is an essential. “Housekeepers should give attention (o _the food provided for their ser- vants. I have heerd charming ,intei- nt women say; ‘I have no idea “vhat my servants.eat! . They should not say that any more than they should say they ‘do not know what { their children eat. , “In a household where the mistress does not' know what the servants eat it is probabble that there 1s one of the . 1wo extremes—either the ¢gok feeds | them “on cold scraps ileft ff’gm the ig bills | Because she prepares; expensive food.

Such are the thoughts.that are forced in the mind by this ywonderful photo- 1 play, which make you hate nypocrisy. i Making. that they were well tiken care of it would go along way toward solving the servant problem:. The ‘'bread- maker, as well as the bread-winner of the household must be cared for. No human being does good work if un- healthy or unhappy. Good, nourish- ing food is one of the essentials if a person is to be healthy and napsy. “I don’t see how any one can be surprised that girls hate to go into do- mestic service if they feel they are looked upon as the broom or the dish- cloth is. If a housekeeper is actuated c¢nly by self-interest, she should care for her servants in an intelilgent man- ner. - What Eficiency Is. “Efficiency means one has learned the wisdom of being orderly. It doesn’t make any difference whether the efficiency is in the office or in the home. It comes as the result of ex- perience and of an inquiring mind. Unless a woman has it her husband does not get a square deal. American women are just as capable of being efficient as women of any other nation. | That is proved by their management | of charities, women’s clubs &nd pa- triotic and civic societies. They have ! proved themselves full of executive ability and initiative. But many wo- | men do not use these qualities in the mangSement of their homes. “Human nature has not changed since the days of the wise and foolish virgins. Some provide oil for their lamps and some do not. For my part I have always felt sympathy for the foolish virgins. = Just a word in time from one of the wise virgins, and they ! might have been prodded on, so they, too, could have enjoyed the wedding ! feast. On the.same principle, today, thee cannot he too much preaching of the need of efficiency in the house- hold. | “A man prepares for his business in life seriously.

So the womun who is ignorant of how to buy for:her household wastes not only her hus- band’'s money but committs aciv wrong. You often hear of the clever- ness of the French woman in bemng able to 'utilize all left_overs from the table. I ‘think' the Italian methed much better, however, They have few left-overs, because they market so carefully and know just hew much to buy for each meal. “Some women, of course, who are home keepers also work outside the, ! | ana company home. There is no reason, to my mind, why they should not do so'if. they want to. But certainly unless a woman is truly different she will not be able to run a' house and work at anything else at the same time. ““A woman should arrange a system which fits the need of her househoid. Aftér -a time she should be able to ' find one which is satisfactory. she has, the actual directing of the hougsehold requires very little time.

THE FASHION SHOP. FINE AT KEENEY'S Local vaudeville devotees are en- thusiastic over The Fashion shop, the sering novelty, which Keeney's is offering as its big attraction this week, The aet has been aptly described by the booking agent as “a paradise of fair women in the perfection of ap- parel before a stage setting of superb splendor. “The exhibition lives up to ihese claims and thus far has satisfied the most discriminating of the patrons of the local playhouse. Displaying the gowns and millinery, all of which are of the latest style and the last word in fashion creations, are sixteen handsome yYoung women, led by the noted beauty Mabel Gray. In the latest Parisian and New ‘York models they. make a stunning appearance, cuptivating the males in the audience by their grace and style and bréeding envy in the hearts of the ‘Young women who igaze oni them. # The Fashion-8hop is the latest inmovation in vaudeville achieving a success and the enthusiasm. with which it is re- ceived everywhere indicates that it has entered the field to stay. ‘With this big attraction are a series of other high class variety show acts.
