As soon as Dicky had left the house after our argument over my pro- posed club position, T called up an employment agency asking that a cook be sent to me. This done, I cleared away the dishes and washed them, and prepared a dessert for dinner. Then finding the want ad- vertisement of the Sunday papers, I looked carefully through the columns headed ‘“‘Situations Wanted, Female.” “Cook, German-Hungarian, first- class, wishes position; sleep home, best references, 967 East One Hundred and Twenty-seventh street basement.” This appealed to me for two rea- sons, one that the woman offered ref- erences, the other that she would sleep at home. Our apartment was too small to house a maid in addition to ourselves. If I were obliged to rent a room in the building for her it would add more than I cared to pay to the cost of her maintenance. “Cook, good all-around ° private family sleep in or our, references, 564 East One Hundred and Sixth street.” This also appealed to me, but T; could find no 'other items in the column which looked even passible. I clipped the advertisements and fastened each neatly to a sheet of notepaper. Then I wrote beneath each one: “Please call, Thursday or Friday. Ask for Mrs. Richard Gra- tham, apartment 4, 46 East Twenty- ninth street.” I addressed the envelopes properly, inserted the answers in the envelopes, sealed and stamped them, then ran out to the post box on the corner with them. I walked back very slow- 1y, for there was nothing more that needed to be done, and I could put off no longer the setting of my problem. i 1 locked the door of my room, pull- ed down the shade, and exchanging my house dress for a comfortable negligee, lay down upon my bed to and Good Vaudeville IDENCE” veritable hotbed of lis and excitement. “THE GODDESS” e latest chapter of the story you like so well.

I tried to put myself in Dicky's place, and to understand his reasons for objecting to my earning any money of my own. I sat upright in bed as a thought flashed across my brain. Was that the reason? Were his objections to this plan of mine | what he pretended they. were? Did | he really fear that T might have un- pleasant publicity thrust upon me, and that some of our pleasure plans might be spoiled by the weekly lecture engagement? Or was he the type of | man who could not bear his wife to have any money or plans or even thoughts which did not originate with him? The Postman’s Ring. T resolved to find out just what motive was behind his objections. If he were willing that I should try to earn money in some other way I would gladly refuse this offer. But if he were opposed to my ever having any income of my own the issue might as well come now as later. A loud ringing of the doorbell awoke me. For a moment I could not under- stand how T came to be in bed. Then |1 do a New Orleans heading, and a date three days before. “Always Your Jack.” “Dear little girl,” it began. “‘A is a long time between letters, it? But you know I told you when I left that the chances were slim for getting a letter back from the wild territory where I was going, and 1 found when 1 reached there that ‘slim’ was hardly the word. 1 wrote You twice, but have no hope that the letters ever reached you. But now I am back in God's country, or shall be when I get North, and, of course, my first line is to you. I am writing this to the old place, knowing it will be forwarded if you have left there. “I shall be in New York two weeks from today, the 24th. Of course, I shall go to my old diggings. Tele- phone me there, so that I can see vou as soon as possible. I am looking forward to a real dinner, at a real restaurant, with the realest girl in the world opposite me the first day I strike New York, so get ready for me. hope you have been well and as cheerful as possible. I know what a struggle this year must have been for you. “Till I see you, dear. Always your, “JACK.” I finished the reading of the letter with mingled feelings of joy and dis- may. Joy was the stronger, however. Dear old Jack was safe at home, But there were adjustments which I must make. I had my marriage to expiain to Jack, and Jack to explain to Dicky. Nothing but this letter could have so revealed to me the strength of the infatuation for Dicky which had swept me off my feet and re- sulted in my marriage after only a six months’ acquaintance. Reading it 1 realized that the memory of Jack had been so pushed into the back- ground during the past six months that I never thought to tell Dicky about him. “SINNERS” AT LYCEUM THURSDAY EVENING It is an interesting fact that since the present season opened not a single manager or theatrical magnate has been heard to declare that ‘“the war and the moving picture houses have killed the legitimate drama.” In the early fall of last year we had a succession of half done offer- ings, and people refused to go *c see them. This season the percentage of really good, competent, interesting things has been exceptionally large. William A. Brady, Ltd., one of the foremost - theatrical producers in America, alone having several first class “hits,” one of them being “Sin- ners,” that remarkably clever drama by Owen Davis which will be seen at the Lyceum Thursday evening: “Sinners” has been playing to capac- ity audiences everwhere since leaving New York after its run of 321 per- formances at Mr. Brady’s playhouse, Where it proved to be one of the Breatest successes in a season when it was noted that only the best could T remembered. After the deliberation of my quiet hour, when I had deter- mined to find out just what was Dicky’s motive in opposing my de- cision to earn some money of my own. I found I was shaking with a netrvous chill. I had lain down and pulled the covers closely around me in the endeavor to get warm. T must have fallen asleep. Throwing off my negligee and put- ting on a little afternoon gown, I twisted up my hair into a careless knot and hurried to the door. The ring had been the postman’s. The afternoon newspapers lay upon the floor. With them was a lettér with my former name upon it in a hand- writing that T knew. Tt had been forwarded from my old boarding house, Thé superscription looked queer to me as if it were the name of some one T had known long ago. ““Miss Margaret Spencer,” and then in the crabbed handwriting of my dear old landlady, ‘“care of Mrs. Richard Graham.” I opened the letter slowly. éoby’s C})nsolidatéd Schools of Dancing Bristol, Manchester, Rockville, Britain and Hartford, Conn.

The action of the play takes place on a Pullman car, bound for Reno. In the production in which the Poli Players will appear at Poli's theater this week the original Pull- man coach will be used for it is a very necessary feature to make the a succe: This is ingenious stage settings that theater- goers have seen. It is a strongly con- structed car with its various apart- ments, built exactly as the Pullman coaches which are in regular use. Poli patrons will welcome the appear- ance of Forrest Seabury in the role of the negro porter. Mr. Seabury is said by those who have witnessed the rehearsals to be the equal of any actor who has played this noted role. Admirably gifted to present a char- acter of this kind, Mr. Seabury seems destined to score an individual suc- cess in the play. Harry Hollinsworth and Billy Long will be the eloping couple; Mr. Ellis will present the part of the ‘“drunk” and the other members of the company will be seen in parts which give them ample op- portunity to display their talents. ‘““Excuse Me" will be one of the lead- ‘ing productions of the fall season. | For the matinee this afternoon the management announces another “Chocolate Day,” boxes of Park & Tilford bon-bons being given to each woman attending.

The sweater looked so well— worn with a homespun skirt of some sort of brown mixture and a black velvet Tam o' Shanter.

It is in three acts. The author is Edward Peple, who has already won a high place among American dramatists by his other great successes, “The Prince Chap” and “The Littlest Reb- el.” He has written an amusing story and developed it through three acts of the most am. ng comic situa- tions and in a spirit of humor that never lags.

The boy began throwing dirt again within a minute. “Albert did you hear what I said?” demanded his mother. Albert “had heard of course. He had heard similar threats a great many times before. He was only five, but he knew that his,mother was one of those people whose words are not to be taken at their face value. They are to be discounted. He Is Used To Her Threats Albert’'s mother is continually threatening him with punishment. She makes all manner of dire prom- ises. “Why don’t you put him to bed?” 1 asked, as Albert threw dirt the third time. “It's so hot indoors,” she confessed. “I' don’t want him cooped up in bed all afternoon. Albeft's mother suffers 'from a very common fault. Speaking quick- ly and without thought, she says things she doesn't mean. Albert, at five, has no difficulty in analyzing that trait. The fault is not a rare one. Far from it. Truly, talk is cheap. We make statements that our friends, unless they are unduly credulous, promptly discount, as Albert dis- throwing dirt house and put Is Cheap counts his mother's. Talking Because It's Too Much Bother To Think When we get angry we deliver ultimatums that are the forerunners not of instant action, but of other ultimatums. We hear a great aeal and believe very little. Someone has well saild that we talk, because it's a bother to think. It would be a fine and splendid thing if we should each of us say what we mean and mean what we say. It would automatically act against rash promises and rasher statements. It would put the spoken word on par, It would put a curb on casual conversation that would do much to end chaos and confusion —and quite likely conversation well—for some of us. Don’t Belleve Everything You Hear The trouble is that we learn our lesson early, like Albert. At five, Albert has learned a great truths He has received an impression that will stay with him through life: “Don’t belleve everything you hear.” I wonder, what, if any, would be the effect of a decision on the part of the trustees of the coming gen- eration to make, in dealing with the Alberts and the Albertas, a consclous and conscientious effort to keep the spoken word at par, by considering what they wished to say and, having said it, standing to It, no matter how great the inconveni- ence? O who disagree as to the relative im- portance in the conduct of a pros- perous patent medicine business,' and they decide, after much squabbling and irritation, to sever their business interests. But .their partnership agreement does not provide for any method by which they can end their relations Their lawyer is called in, but they decline his various businoss ideas and he finally suggests the in- expensive method of playing a show- down poker hand to see which of the partners will have control of the business, as well as the direction of the other partner's affairs. A pair of sixes wins, and the winner obtuins the services of his partner as a butler in his household for one year, under an ironclad agreement by which not a word of explanation shall be made nor an order violated, without the payment of so many fines that the loser would be bankrupt. After the butler is installed in his menial du- ties, he is almost driven frantic by a homely old cockney housemaid, who pursues him with her attentions. To make matters worse, his sweetheart arrives as a guest in the house. He cannot explain for fear of the fines which would sacrifice his interest in the business, and the wife of the win- ner sympathizes so openly with the unlucky partner that her husband be- comes jealous. This amusing condi- tion of affairs develops the most hil- arious fun and twisted situations, which are finally straightened flu(} through the cleverness of the loser's sweetheart, who ultimately plays *he Fish is boned. is much more delicate if it y to do by cutting the fish in half, running the knife close to one side of the back- bone, then with the fingers lift the backbone from the flesh; the rib bones will come with it.
