Seats at Dickinson’s Mat., REVELATIONSOF A WIFE By ADELE GARRIS0ON There’s More Than One Way of Say- ing What You Mean, Smiles on my slips, which I forced to remain; tears in my eyes which I dared not shed—these marked the delicious little dinner which Katie served Dicky and me after my mor- tifying financial experience. The knowledge that before the evening closed I should have to tell Dicky I had paid his long ignored bill to Turaine Bros., and brave his certain wrath for meddling in his affairs, weighed heavier upon me each mo- ment. That I must also confess that the paying of the bill had left me penniless, and must ask Dicky for more money, no matter what mood he might be in, humiliated me almost beyond endurance. ‘‘Missis Graham, you not eating one thing, what's the matter? Ain't it cooked the right way?"” Katie’s worried voice brought Dicky to his feet with a start. He had been in such gay spirits, and so absorbed in his rattling amusing account of the day’s happenings that I had been able to conceal from him my real feelings by smiling at his nonsense and pre- tending to eat. At Katie’'s words he came around at my side of the table. “What's the matter, sweatheart? Aren’t you feeling well? our home evening contrasted with my knowledge of how I soon must spoil it He went to the telephone and took down the receiver. Then I heard the ing half-conversation which al- ways falls to the lot of the outside listener, “Yes? Dicky never answers ‘‘Hello"” over the telephone, but always says “Yes ” with the rising inflection. It is one of his mannerisms which I like. “Oh, Lil, “Great.” “OH, yes, she’s feeling bully. Had a bad headache yesterday, but she's ail right today.” Lil Has a “Part, “Didn’t need you. Why should we gend for an amateur like you when You're sounding fine.” house.” for it. Ask Madge. She'll vouch for my ability as a nurse.” “Why, I don’t know. ticular. Why?” Then there was a long pause in Dicky’s end of the conversation. Even at my chair at the farther end of the rocm I could hedr the raucous tones of Lillian Gale's voice as they struck against the sounder of the telephone. I could not distinguish what she said, Nothing par- I have always despised the women who employ the feminine wiles of tears and pretended illness to wheedle concessions from their husbands. I shall never judge them again. It took my will power to keep from bursting into tears at Dicky's tender words. How I longed to plead a severe head- ache or any other illness to yield to the petting and tender care I knew would follow, and to tell him of my troubles when all of his protecting chivalrous nature was aroused, and it would be impossible for him to be angry. But it is as impossible for me to do any of these things as it would be for me to offer Dicky an unsolicited caress, I think sometimes of the name the women in the theatre dressing room applied to me the night Dicky and I went to the revival of ‘“Rose- mary,” the night I first learned of my ‘husband’s long and romantic friend- ship with Lillian Gale. She Hides Her Feelings. “The Marble bride,” the woman had £aid, half contemptuously., 1 know that the name fits me in many ways. My real feelings are hidden deep be- neath a hard crust of inherited will power and coldness, and yvears of bitter training in self-control. S0 my voice was steady, my eyes tearless as I answered Dicky's ques- tion, “I am quite well. Please don’t worry about me, but finish your din- ner.” “Then something is troubling you. ‘What has happened?” “No, Dicky, don't get excited Nothing In particular has happened. I have been a little upset over some- thing today, something which I will tell, you about after dinner, but T re- fuse to spoil this delicious dessert with anything troublesome.” 1 tried to make my tone gay and careless, and I must have succeeded, for Dicky attacked his dessert, a macaroon pudding, with gusto, much to the delight of Katie, who evidéntly considered it a masterpiece. To please her I managed to choke down my portion, winning Dicky’s approval at the same time. “That's better,” he said heartily. Glad you could eat something. Shall we have our coffee in the living room?” ‘We daid this occasionally, lighting the gas grate and sipping our coffee before it. “Mighty poor substitute for a log fire, but unfortunately they don’t put old fashioned fireplaces in most apart- ments,” Dicky commented when we had settled ourselves before the grate and Katle had served our coffee there. “It is very cheerful, I answered. “It is when there's a bully little wife to share it with a man,” re- turned Dicky tenderly. Dicky always calls me “little when he is in a ten- der mood, although I am quite above the average woman in stature, within two inches of his own height, in fac “I thought of asking you to take a little stroll with me tonight,” Dicky went on, “but it’s too comfortable Tight here at home. I feel at peace with the world tonight.” The ringing of the telephone bell punctured Dicky’s words. He was visibly annoyed, but to me the sound was a relief. Anything was better than Dicky’s child-like enjoyment of even as it is,” TUDY ACCOUNTANCY IT IS AN UNCROWDED PROFESSION THERE IS AN NUSUAL DEMAND FOR THE UNUSUAL MAN Enroll at Once and Begin Tonight Class Starts 7:30 .MOCQA 9 New Britain, Ct. but she was evidently very enthusias- tlc about something, for she talked very fast, and her tones showed ear- nestness. “Well, we're very comfortable where we are, thank you, but I'l] ask her.” Dicky put down the receiver and stuffed one of his handkerchiefs into the transmitter. Then he walked over to me, and standing with his back to the telephone, spoke In almost a ‘whisper: “Don’t let her hear your answer, Madge. Lil says a gang just dropped into the apartment, and she wants us to come over and halp entertain ’em. There are not so many of our own crowd, more that theatrical bunch that she trains with sometimes. I know the kind of party it will be, so many different kinds of drinks that Wwe won’t be able to find our own house tomorrow morning unless the taxi driver takes pity on us. But it will be a novel experience for you if you want to go. What shall I tell her?” “You draw such an alluring picture, Dicky,” T whispered back, smiling up at him, “that you real tempt me. But you must decide. I'll go if you want to, but 2 “But you're not exactly crazy over the proposition,” he said gleefully. “Are you?” I countered. “With a home evening like this as en alternative? I should say not. It's bully fun at Lil's, but it's comfy home here.” Dicky Settles It Himself, He went back to the ’phone, took the handkerchief out of the trans- mitter with a merry glance at me, and began his excuses. “I say, lady, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak over here. Madge sends her love and says she’d love to come, but she has just re- covered from one of the worst attacks of headache she ever had in her life, and she’s afraid a night of dissipation would bring it back again. Sorry old girl, but better luck next time. We'd better break her in by degrees anyway. You know that crowd you've got there tonight is—" Here Mrs. Underwood evidently in- terrupted, for Dicky listened with a broad grin on his face for a minute or two, then exploded in a hearty laugh. “All right, we'll just do that. If You need bail before morning call me up. Good-bye.” He hung up the receiver and came over to me. “She says the party will be going till morning, and if we change our minds we Tun over any time.

WOMAN WEAK, RUN-DOWN Finds Healthla_Simple Tonic People in New Britain will begin to believe us when we say that our de- licious Vinol is a wonderful tonic and strength creator. Here is another case where it has proved its wonderful power to over- come weak, run-down, nervous, anaemic conditions. “I was run-down, nervous, and could not do my work without being entirely exhausted, and would often faint without any apparent cause. The doctor said I was anaemic but failed to help me. My husband brought home a bottle of Vinol and I began to improve after taking one bottle, and after taking four bottles it has built me up so I can do all my housework without help. I recommended Vinol to a neighbor, who says her doctor ap- proves of it and said ‘Vinol is a won- derfully good tonic.’” Mrs. Bessie Hering, West Philadelphia, Pa. We recommend Vinol to our cus- tomers as the greatest strength cre- ator we know—due to the extractive medicinal elements of fresh cod livers, without oil combined with peptonate of iron and beef peptone, all dis- solved in a pure medicinal wine.

It is not a white slave play, nor is it a ‘“red light” drama, but it does discuss graphically and dra- matically the feminine desire for finery and its acquisition, and dis- closes in no uncertain way the dan- gers attendant thereto. | night and said, | swer would have come back, | as a flash, i hands were filling in, pro tem. | again there were those who had | be just MRS. CREAN SINGING BEN BOLT AT FOX'S When George Du Maurier wrote “Trilby,” it took the world by storm, becoming the best seller of the times, and up to this present day that popu- lar novel has not decrease twenty per cent. in sales value. “Trilby” was first presented on the stage in London in 1895, where it met with great success. It has been revived, both here and abroad, at least once every two years. Now the ,world will see this mags terpiece in new form and it will be presented at Fox's today and tomor- row as produced by the World producers. When this production was presented at the 44th Street thea- ter, New York City at big prices it was lauded by press and public as being the best five-act feature eyer produced.

Mrs. Mary T.

In conjunction with this Film | most wonderful production and the much looked forward singing of Mrs. Crean, there will be the latest chap- ter of “The Goddess,” a Chaplin com- edy and other good single reel come- dies. ) Burton, the famous comedy song- bird, will be heard all this week in a repertoire of comedy and dramatic numbers which have made him fa- mous.

For no one knew just what ‘‘Search Me” was all about. There were some who, after the first act, wagered it was a comedy gone astray; others ventured it was a tragedy. Some, in- deed, were of the opinion that about one-half of the cast had been left in the last town and a number of stage Then an inkling that the actors were getting ready to go out on strike. Yet, withal, no one knew just what was the trouble, and if you asked, the only consolation was “Search Me!" As a matter of fact there were many present Saturday night who would cast aside the ‘‘Search Me!"” title and add some one of the follow- ing, obody Home,” *“Good-Night," “The Chauffeur,” or “The Night- Mare.” Figuring that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, these habitues of the Lyceum have advanced the theory that earch Me” under any other subriquet would s,—well, we will not say it. And yet from what has been dis- covered since that fateful, fitful, Sat- urday night when ‘‘Search Me" beg- ged entrance into our little circle, we should “Don’t Blame It All On Broadw As a show “Search Me” may have been a good one. other hand, it may have one. There could be no indifference about “Search Me.” But we did not see the play. All we saw were the actors,—actors and actresses who had been told that “Search Me” was on its last legs; that it was growing weak; that it would never get out of New Britain alive. And knowing the play was about to pass into the pearly beyond, the actors, likg real good actors, decided to make the death a merry one. And they did, for themselves. Out front no one knew just what was happening, and it was not until the last act, when the “Good- Night” scene took place, that the reg- ular customers made the discovegy, or realized some ten regular actors were stranded. But then it is not such a long, long way to Tipperary. We herewith present a list of the survivors of the ill fated “Search Me,” which went down off the coast of West Main street, Saturday, Oct. 16, at 10:30 p. m., after striking the Ly- ceum rock: John Raymond, Lionel St. Clair, Rollo Lloyd, Curtis Cooksey, Phyl Birkett, Daniel Pennell, Sydney Stone, ¥Fred Graham, Clarence Heritage and Nellie Dent. “FRECKLES” AT POLI'S THEATER THIS WEEK aside from “Freckles’” has heen a memory to Hartford for several years but its beautiful nature story is stiil potent enough to attract attention as a sage production, and the play, pre sented twice daily this week I the Poli Players, will doubtless be very popular.
