He read it through, his face growing angrier at cvery line. When he had finished he threw it on the floor. “Well I guess not,” he exclaimed. “I know that club game, it’s the limit. There's nothing in it. They'll pay only a beggarly sum, and you'll be tied to that same afternoon once a week for a year. Suppose we had something we wanted to do on that day We would have to let it go hang.” “I suppose if we had something we wanted to do on a day when you had a commission to execute you would leave your work and go,” I answered quietly. “That’s entirely different,” returned Dicky. “I'm responsible for support of this famil You are not. All you have to do is enjoy yourself and make home comfortable for me.” We were interrupted by the door bell. Dicky went to the door while I hastily dropped the portieres between the living room and the dining room. I heard Dicky’s deep voice in greeting. “This is good of you, Lil" and Lillian Gale came into the room with outstretched hand. A Surprising Ally. “Perhaps I shouldn’t have come so soon,” she said, ‘but you see I am bound to know you, even if Dicky does spirit you away when we want you to join us.” She threw him a laughing glance as she clasped my hand. “I am so glad you have come,” I said cordially, but inwardly I fiercely resented her intrusion, as I deemed it. But what was my horror to Dicky say casually: “Youve come at a most opportune time, Lil. Madge has had an’ offer from some woman's club to do a lecturing stunt on history, ker special- ty, you know, and she wants to take it. I wish you’'d help me persuade her out of it.” “I cannot imagine why we should trouble Mds. Underwood with so per- sonal a matter,” I heard myself say- ing faintly. Mrs. Underwood laughed boister- ously. “Why, I'm one of the family, my dear child,” she said heartily. Then she looked at me keenly. “I might have known that one man would have no chance with two wom- en,” Dick growled. His tone held capitulation. I knew I had won my battle. But was it my victory or this woman’s I so detested? “Don’t let this lad bully you,” she advised, half-laughingly. ‘“He’s per- fectly capable of it. I know him. By all means accept the offer if you think it's worth while. All these husbands are a bit archaic yet, you know. They don’t realize that women have joined the human race.” “Come, Dickybird,” she rattled on as she saw his darkening face. “Don’t be silly. You'll have to give in. You are just fifty years behind the times, you know.” During the remainder of Mrs. Un- derwood’s brief call she ignored Dicky and devoted herself to me. There is no denying the fact that she has great charm when she chooses to exer- cise it. Dicky, however, appeared en- tirely oblivious of it, sitting in moody silence until she rose to go.” Dicky Not Beaten. ought to preserve that she carelessly advised, as he hear "“You grouch, SEABOAR The Progressive Rallway of the South Best Train Equipment—Steel Coaches. ¥ree Reclining-Chair Cars, Observation and Pullmans.

Dicky stopped suddenly in ‘nis pacing, and coming swiftly over to me, dropped on one knee beside my chair and put his arms around me. “Sweetheart,” he said softly, “I don’t want to quarrel about this; nor do I wish to be unreasonable about it. But, really it means an awful lot to me. I don’'t want you to do it. Won't you give it up for me?” I returned Dicky's kiss, and held him tightly as I “Dear boy, I'll think it over very carefully. If I possibly can I will do as you wish. But remember, I say if 1 can. I haven't made you a definite promise yet.” “But you will, T know that's my own dear girl. Good-bye. T'll have to rush back to the studio now.’ Dicky's tone was light and confident as he arcse. Life always has been easy for Dicky. I heard him say once he never could remember the time when he didn't get his own way. GREAT FITCH DRAMA ON KEENEY SCREEN it surprised Clyde Fitch’'s great play, ‘Moth and the Flame,” will he the big screen attraction at Keeney's tonight. It is perhaps the most powerfol drama produced by this versatile author and in its picturized form it is gripping The play is recognized as a big “movie” fea- ture and it should prove a good draw- ing card here. is acted by the leading artists with the Famous Players company. The Edison, Biograph and Vita- graph companies also make contri- butions to tonight’s program. Be- sides the headliner there will be two other good dramatic screen offerings and some comedy films of high class. Coupled with the picture attrac- tions is a vaudeville bill of exceptional merit. It is topped by Richards an?! Brandt, European gymnasts, who do a number of ditficult balancing feats. They have a fascinating specialty and it goes big every day. “Sally’s Visit” is the title of an ex- tremely funny farcical skit, presentel by Lavine and Inman. The sketch is of a rural type and and the comedy opportunities are big. The song num- bers introduced during the progress o the act are well rendered. Taper and Claire entertain with songs and fancy dancing. They hav, a lght and pleasing specialty in which they show marked ability. Fads and Fashions l Bordered veils are popular. Crow’s blue is a new color in satin. There are gardening gloves of cre- tonne. Even the new fur coats flare a good deal, Ribbed silks will be used for eve- ning gowns. winter will be Neckwear for mostly high. the The peg-top skirt is revived to a slight degree. The bell sleeve is accepted with enthusiasm. Fur buttons are the latest touch on suit coats. Delightful Short Sea'l'npc Affording Pleasure and Rest !

Brady, Ltd., ever had in his long ca- reer as one of the foremost theatrical producers in this country. It began its run at the Playhouse with only fair business, which grew in leaps and bounds to such an extent that when only a few weeks old seats were selling months in advance, a record but few attractions could boast. This is the play that had the novel ex- perience of being first acted before the prisoners of Sing Sing prison Christmas day. By a special ar- rangement Mr. Brady took the com- pany to Sing Sing and on an impro- vised stage gave two performances of the play. “Sinners” is not a crime play, al- though many of its characters fulfill the title. It depicts certain phases of life in the incandescent district of New York where wealthy men de- vote their time and energies to having a good time. Into that life wanders a guileless New England girl and the drama tells the story of her adven- tures and her escape from the pitfalls set for her, The first act transpires in a New York apartment and the other three acts have a New England homestead for their locale. Mr. Brady has assembled an un- usually competent company for. the presentation of ‘“Sinners’ at the Lyceum Thursday evening. Seat sale will ‘'open Monday night at Crowell's. COMMANDS RED CROSS DOGS IN GERMAN ARMY RAULEIN FREDA MULLER * Ranking as a captaln in the Ger- man army, Fraulein Frieda Muller has charge of all the German Red Cross dogs in the eastern war zone. Marvelous stories have reached Amer- ica of the segacity of these animals in searching for and succoring wounded men. Other armies than the German are making use of the trained dogs, but the Teutons have seemingly brought the training of the animals to a higher point than have any others. REAT WILLIAM A. BRADY PRODUCTION THAT COMES TO THE SSWIN LYCEUM, THURSDAY NIGHT, O CTOBER 7. l How We Hate To! “What is the answer to problem 281?” is a typical example of the kind of question a school book publisher often receives. Now this man publishes dozen of arithmetics, algebras and geometries, and the question might refer to any of them. Naturally it is impossible to answer the question until a stenographer has corresponded with the questioner and found out in what book her particular problem No. 281 is printed. “I suppose they think their book is the only one the firm gets out,” was the gocd-natured explanation of one commentator, “Think! They don’t ever do that. If they did, they would know bet- ter. That's just what the trouble is,” was the less kindly comment of another, Not Because We Don’t Know Any Better. It is antonishing, isn’t it, how often we say and do foolish things, not because we don’t know any better, but because we don't think any better. I was walking the other day with the postmaster of a summer resort at which a number of people considered by themselves at least to be of rather more than average intelligence spend their summers. He held u a post card. It was stamped but not addressed. “Isn’t a day passes he said, “that I don’t haul something like that out of the mail. Some- times they’'re stamped and not addressed and not stamped and sometimes they're neither. And then again, they're addressed to this postoffice in- stead of the place they're meant for. Beats all how people that look in- telligent can do such foolish things.” The Poor Elemmr Man. The other day I stood in an elevator waiting for it to start. The elevator man was chanting in a loud, clear voice, “Stops at all floors from first to fifth.” A woman paused in the doorway. “Does this stop at the third floor?” she asked. “Someone has said ‘Thinking is just what nobody wishes to do,’ " says Dora Melegari. ‘““These words hold the explanation of the insufficiency and mediocrity of human existence, for truly nobody wants to reflect. How many, even intelligent men and women, live without ever perform- ing this function.” With My Letter Friends. Question—Do cardes of invitation to an At Home requre an answer of acceptance? I have not been accustemad to that form of invitation and do not know the correct thing to do.—A Country Subscriber. Answer—An At Home card in a wedding invitation requires no ac- knowledgment outside the reply to the invitation. A separate At Home card should be acknowledged either by appearing at the At Home or if vou cannot go by sending your c¢ard on the day of the At Home. Send as many cards as there are hostesses. For instance, if one woman gives the function for another send two cards. include several single reel and dramas. At the Monday the management announces another “Chocolate Day,” boxes of bon rons being given to each woman attend- ing the performance. comdies matinee AMUSING FARCE AT POLI'S NEXT WEEK One of the most amusing of ent day farces is Rupert screamingly fuuny play, Me,” described .by the author as Pullman Carnfal” and by the pre ana public one of the best farces of a decade The action of the play takes place on a Pullman car, bound for Reno from Chicago- In the pro- duction in which the Poli Players will appear at Poli’s theater next week, the original Pullman coach will be used, for it is a very necessary fea- ture to make the play a success. This is one of the most ingenious stage settings that theatergoers have seen. The story centers about scveral couples, sdme bound for the divor colony of Reno to be separated fr their “‘other halves” while also num- bered among the passengers is a young couple who are eloping. There ‘is the very important character ot the negro porter, and Poli patrons will welcome the appearance of Forrest | Seabury in this role. Mr. Hollings- worth and Miss Long will be the eloping couple. Mr. Ellis will present the well known “souse” part and the other members of the company will be seen in prominent parts which give them ample opportunity to dis- | play their talents along farcial lines There will be the usual two parfor- mances daily throughout the week. i Sunday evening benefit concert wil! be featured by the appearance of Alice Brady in the three-reel Knick- erbocker feature, “The Cup of Chancé.” One of the famous Cutey series of Biograph comedies, called, “Insuring Cute another picture on the program and other subjects pres- Hoas_eiold él'otes By keeping household supplies always on hand a great deal of the sense of rush and weariness is saved.

EMMY WHELEN JOW AT FOX'S Emmy Whelen, the charming Vien- nese actress and recent star of “Mar. rlage a la Carte” in Charles Horan's play of pecullar problems and tense situations, “When a Woman Loves, "’ will be the feature attraction at Fox's tomorrow night. “When a Woman Loves” is a dramatic gem of more than passing worth., Its many pe- culiar angles of femininity make the production interesting in the extreme, It is in five acts, two hundred and twenty-five scenes, with a goodly por- tion of highly dramatic moments. The Pathe News with its current events, which has been temporarily shifted for the Sunday patrons will also be shown as well as some real good comedy features that will add great diversity to the offering. The Stradelli Four have an excellent com- tination of high class numbers which they will render in a truly concert way. “The Regeneration,” dramatization of Owen Kildare's famous book: “My Mamie Rose,”™ picturized by the Willlam Fox forces, will be shown for the last time to- night. The story is replete with stir- ring situations and terrific climaxes o that keep the spectators’ eyes riveted to the screen. You see McGurk's Suicide hall, the terrible gang fights, the slums of the Bowery, the charac- ters that frequent the various dives and best of all you get an excellent view of a burning excursion boat, where the picnickers are making merry. It is a production that is playing return dates wherever it has s0 far been shown. the photo- By DOROTHY CLARKE My dear, I'm simply worn to a shred Ever sifce we've been in town I've sort of felt as if I had to do everything all at once .. 1 had tea at Sherry's with Jack and the brute made me walt for an en- « tire half hour But I wasn't sorry, because I. saw some awfully good looking new things One in particular was a blouse worn with a Beaver trimmed brown velvet suit, «* The collar and deep yoke of the blouse were of white satin, the line around the ghoulders Was marked by a band of beaver and be- it was Blege colored chiffon. « The yoke opemed in fronmt Where a cream color lace jabot was inserted White satin buttons were used on the high rolled collar and down the front of the Jjabot, +...
