Dicky's voice startled me into a realization of ‘my surroundings. I had been so absorbed in the problem of whether I should or should not accept Lillian Gale as an intimate that 1 did not know that the curtain had fallen on the second act of “Rosemary” nor did I kpow how tae act had ended. bit, My problem was still unsolved. I wel- comed the diversion of a turn in the fresher air of the lobby. As we passed up the aisle I felt a dden tug, then an ominous ripping. ‘he floating chitfon overdrapery of my gown had caught on a scat. As Dicky vent to release me his face ‘showed consternation, Almost a length ‘of the dainty fabric trailed on the floor. I have schooled myself in self-re- pression for many a weary year. I feared my gown, in which I had tak- en such pride, was ruined, but I would not let any one know I cared about it, I gathered it up and smiled at Dicky. “It really doesn’'t matter,” I said. “If you'll leave me at the woman's dressing room I think I can fix it up all right.” In the Dressing Room. Dicky drew a relieved breath. His heartily murmured, ‘“You're a thor- oughbred for sure, Madge,” rewarded me for my composure. I was just woman enough also to be comforted by the whispered comments of two women who sat just bchind the seat which caused the mischief. “Isn't that a shame, that exquisite gown?” and the rejoiner. “But isn’'t she game? I couldn’'t smile like that —TI'd be crying my eyes out.” Dicky left me at the door of the dressing room, pressing a coin slyly into my hand. “You’ll wan to tip the maid,” he |explained, aad I blessed him for his thoughtfulness. I had been too absorbed in my gown to taink of anything else. An obsequious maid provided me with needle, thimble and thread. She offered to mend the tear for me, but I had a horror of being made con- spicuous by her ministrations. “If you'll just let me have a chair in a corner I shall do very nicely,” I told her, and was at ‘oace snugly ensconced near one of the mirrors, be- hind the very comfortable rampart of an enormously fat woman in an ex- aggerated evening gown, who was de- voting- much ' pains and ‘cosmetics to her complexion, She looked as if she intended to remain at that particular mirror all, the .intermiesion. I hoped she would stay there, despite the daggers’ looks she was receiving from other complexion repairers who covet- ed her place, for she was an effectual shield from curious eves. The Gossiping Voices. To my joy I found that the gown was not ruined, and that it could be repaired without much expense or trouble, - Even.the temporary mend- ing I was doing disguised the break. I was so interested in the mending that I was completely lost to my sur- roundings, but the sound of a famil- jar name brought me to with a jerk. “Did you see the Dickybird and his marble bride?” A high-pitched vet rather sweet voice asked the question, and a deep contralto answered It. ‘‘Yes, indeed, and I saw the way Lillian Gale was rushing them. For my part I don't think that's quite clubby of Lil. Of course she's got into the way of thinking she has a first mortgage on the Dickybird, but she might glve that beautiful bride a chance for her life before she fore- closes.” “What's the secret of Lil's attrac- tlon for /Dicky Graham, anyway the soprano voice queried. ‘“She's a good seven years older than he is, and both her pasi and her youth are rather frayed at' the edges, you know." “Ioove’'s Young Dream.” “Oh, love's young dream, and the habit of long association,”' returned the contralto. “I'v heard that Lil was Dicky’s first love. She was a stunner for looks ten years ago, and Dicky was just young enough to be swept off his feet.”” “That must have been before Lil married that unspeakable Morton, the fellow she ‘divorced, wasn’t it" inter- rupted the soprano. “Yes, it was,” the contralto an- swered. “I don’t know whether Dicky has been in love with Lil all these years or not but he certainly has been her best friend. And now comes the news of his marriage to somebody the crowd never heard of.” “Well, I think Lil may say good-bye to her Dickybird now,” returned the first speaker. “That bride is quite the prettiest piece of flesh and blood T've seen for many a da: “She's all of that,” agreed the other. She holds all the best cards, | but you'll find she's too statuesque ! and dignified to play them. I saw her i face tonight when Lil was talking to | her, She’'s not accustomed to Lil's { kind, and she does not like her frfiena- | ship with Dicky.” | “You can't blame her for that,” in- terjected the soprano. “I am sure I would not like to see my 'husband dancing attendance on Lillian Gale.” “No, of course not,” the contralto replied, “but she will be just fool enough to show Dicky her feelings and Dicky who is the soul of loyalty to his friends, will resent her attitude and try to make it up to Lil and Harry by being extra nice to them. It's too bad. But then, these marble statue sort of women always sacrifice their love for their pride or their fool notions of propriety.” “It will be as good as a play to watch the developments,” the soprano commented. *“‘Come on, we'll be too late for the curtain.” Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast I°ruit Omelet Potatoes au Gratin Whole Wheat Muffins Coffee Tomato Lunch Celery and Meat Salad Buttermilk Bread Cocoa Dinner Soup Crecy Braised Beef Mashed Potatoes Spinach Lettuce .French Dressing Chocolate Blanc Mange Coffee Butlermilk Bread—Use buttermilk which is not too sour.

It is the Big Four at- traction for this week and its popu- larity as a romance should make it attractive to devotees of the silent drama. The play in its dramatized form was fascinating and as a screen offering it is even more acceptable. It should be an excellent feature and a2 magnet Oof exceptional drawing qualities. Mary Pickford will be on-tonight's bill. The popular screen artist will be seen in “Fanchon the Cricket,” pic- turized by the Famous Players com- pany. Pickford scenarios are the big “THE GREAT RUBY” AT FOX’S TODAY Today's program at Fox's is made up of that element of drama that will appeal to everybody both young and old. Each and every attraction has the proverbial punch in its story and Jjust abounds in thrills and sensations. ‘The Great Ruby,” the great Drury Lane drama made so popular both here and abroad with its sensational scenes and action will hold stellar position on the big photo-play bill. This photo-play is one that will keep the spectators on the tip-tae of ex- pectation, for the unsuspected happens in every scene. Aside from the great balloon scene, in which the immense gasbug is shot down by guns and comes to earth a wreck, one of the mast interesting moments in the play is the one in which Lady Garnett, walking in her sleep, steals the ruby in place of a rose her lover had placed in the drawer of the cabinet. “The Great Ruby” will. no doubt be as popular visualized for the screen as it has been on the speaking stage, for the action of the play is admirably | suited for film adaptation. “Neal Of The Navy,” the great American serial story now in its sec- ond chapter will alsd be shown. “Brute Man" enters upon the scene this week making this episode start- ling in the extreme. A Charlie Chap- lin Comedy with many surprises and big laughs invites many feet and other comedies fill out the balance of the program. The vocalists this week are artists of rare ability. ““The Stradelli Four™ composed of two men and two women have framed a completely new reper- toire of songs which they will render for today and tomorrow. Two quar- tet numbers and two solos will com- prise their offering and the lavers of good singing will be afforded a real treat. BY POLI PLAYERS The 500th anniversary week Poll’s theater is drawing capacit audiences and the current attraction, “Sky Farm.” is provinz one of tle most popular rural plays during the time that the present I'layers have been here. “Sky Farms,” occupies a unique place among rural dramas, its intensely human holding it throughout ‘the plot, until the final line of the play. The speclalties that are introduced by the Players are novel, the barn dance be- ing hilarious, while the other fea- tures are entertaining and decidedly pleasing and amusing. The play will be repeated twice daily throughout the recital cf the week at the regular scale of pop- | ular pricess For traction the Poli nounces the Rupert Hughes Pullman carnival, ‘“‘Excuse Me,”” unquestion- next week's at- tably one of the funniest farces that this well-known playwright has ever written.

It will be skown at Keeney’s tonight and tomor- row. Clyde Fitch’s great play, “The ioth and the Flame,” will divide top position with the Selig masterpiece on Friday night and will be the feature of Saturday’s program. This wonder- ful drama is said to be powerfully pre- sented on the screen. The vaudeville show this week has many good features. Richards and Brandt offer a European novelty in which they introduce some clever hand balancing; Taber and Claire en- tertain pleasingly with songs and dances and Lavigne and Inman pro- vide mirth with their rural sketch: “Sally’s Visit” The act is well staged and Is presented in clever style. COHAN’S PLAY AT LYCEUM TOMORROW George M. Cohan's “Seven Keys to Baldpate” will be acted at the Lyce- um Thursday evening, September 30th. The play which varies between farce and comedy met with instantan- eous success in New York and Chi- cago where it had an uninterrupted run of ten months. Mr. Cohan calls his unique work a mystery farce, the adjective applying to a succession of strange and highly mysterious events that transpire in an old inn on top of a mountain during a terrible winter's storm. When you are told that Bald- pate is the namne of the mountain inn and that the old caretaker . of the place hards the hero ‘‘the only key to Baldpate,” you may get a remote no- tion that the other six keys are going to turn up in quite a mysterious way.

TREGResAR Misch SToRE| 687-685 MAIN STREET HARTFORD l Open Saturday Evenings Outgrowing Things ‘When you were a child did you ever have Algeritis? I fancy you did, for it is a disease almost as common to childhocd ae the mumps or measles. Rare indeed is the chill who escapes this mania for devouring whole the stories of Dick, the Newsboy; Tom, the Bootblack, and all the rest of Mr. Alger's miraculously fortunate heroes. For some reason my mother objected very much to my reading these hooks, and just when the disease was raging at school and I had coms down with a violent case, I was forbidden to read any of them., Of course I was most resentful. “You just wait!” I threatened. I'm twenty-one, I'm going to buy every one of those bocks and read them through.” 3 When I Could, I Didn't Want To. I saw “Tom, the Bootblack” in my small nephew's room the othsr dag; the prophecy came back to me and | smiled to—and at—myself. You see, I've been twenty-one longer than I care to think and I naven't read one of Mr, Alger’'s hooks yet. . That's the way of life, isn't it? y Once on a time there was a little girl who loved to make that faseinate ing confection known as snow ice-cream. Whenever the fresh snow fell, she used to beg her mother to let her make a plate of it. Now that was before the days when germs were the bugbears they are today, so this little girl's mother used to let her make as much as she could spare the milk for But the {amily was larg® and milk was scarce, so that was never half so much as the little girl wanted. ILdike everyone else, the little girl sud- denly grew up and found herself in & home of her own. One day the first snow fell and the little girl remembered. “I'm going to make snow ice~ cream,” she said, “and just think! I can make all I want!"” What Was Left Out of the Ice-Cream ? So she mixed the snow and the milk and the sugar and the vanilla and then she tasted it. “It doesn't.taste right,” she said. ‘“There must have been something else that I used to putin.” And she thought and thought, but she fouldn’t remenber what it was, and she never eould remember, 80 she never made it again. Are you wiser than she? reader friend?

There was a worm in the bud, a fatal error in the premises.” There is a certain sadness about the way we are pushed willy nilly out of our childhood’s dreams and desires, isn't there?
