Later | the | By ADELE REVELA TIONSOF A WIFE GARRISON i “I Shall Pay, Out of the Money Shall Earn.” I am bowed to the earth with shame when I think of the moment when I flung into Dicky’'s face tht money which he had tossed me so contemptuously a moment before. Dicky was so angry because I had paid a long standing bill of his that he appeared to have lost the instincts of a gentleman. But that was no reason, I told myself a moment after my outburst, that I also should return to the primitive in my method of dealing with an unpleasant situation. I had risen from my seat when I threw the bills at him, and I faced him with a feeling at my heart I did not recognize. I could have struck him to the groumd in that moment. The next I was so abased in spirit at the exhibition of temper I had given that I would hawve given anything to get anywhere out of sight or sound. I stooped mechanically, picked up the bills, folded them, and laid them[ upon the table near'us. Then I spoke, and, my very voice was new to me, hoarse and trembling from the effects of the rage which had so shaken me. “I truly beg your pardon, Dicky.” I realized that I had used the old childish phrase my mother taught me. “I am very Sorry, very much ashamed that I did ‘that. But I do not think you realize how you humiliated me when you flung that money in my lap with such sneering contempt in your manner.” “How do I look when I sneer? This way?” and Dicky twisted up his face grotesquely. I stared at him in amazement. Every trace of his anger was gone. He was adopting his usual method of disposing of a quarrel, do- ing some silly or fantastic thing, which cleared the atmosphere, and which also, I shrewdly suspected, ap- pealed to him in that it enabled him to avoid an apology. He put out his hands and grasped mine. “You are super-sensitive, Madge, and I'll be hanged if I can get some of your viewpoints, but that’s no reason why we should spoil our even- ing over old Touraine and his bill It's paid now, and there will be no more, I promise you to disturb your iron sense of justice. A You may wear the flowers and eat the bon bons I bring you without a qualm.” He could not or would not grasp the fact that anything deeper than the mere non-payment of the bill lay be- neath my resentment. It was partly this, partly something within me that . makes it impossible for me to:fkiss and make i up” ‘imme- alately after a quarrel, as many women do, that made me withdraw my hands. - ‘Please sit down, Dicky, and let me ‘talk to You' seriously for a few rminutes,” I pleaded, “There are some things I'must tell you, some things we must settle together if we are to have any peace. I detest this bickering. I believe much of it could be avoided if we could decide finally as to some things this evening.” “Aren’t You My Wife?” Dicky sat down with such a re- signed and bewildered look upon his face that I could have laughed if I had not been in such deadly earnest. “Shoot,” he said laconically; then with a twinkle in his eye, “I bey your pardon, I forget your training. Please elucidate.” I ignored the pleasantry. I did not know how long Dicky would listen to me, and T wanted to waste no words. “Dear boy,” I began, “won’t you talk over with me the amount of money you can afford to spend upon the housekeeping, and then hand me that amount each week upon a cer- tain day?” . “Well, T'll be rupted himself with a blow fist upon the table. ‘“Have letting you get short of money? in thunder didn’t you ask me more ?” “You don’t understand,” I patiently explained. “I have more than enough with these 1 indicated the bills I had laid on the table—“to last an- other week. But I cannot bear to |come and ask you for money, Dicky, as if T were a child or a servent.” “Can’t bear to ask me for money ‘What nonsense is this?” Dicky’s voice held much indignation. “Aren’t you my wife, and isn’t everything I had just as much yours as it is mine?” “That i what I thought when T 1aid the cleaner’s bill,” I interrupted demurely, “but you didn’t agree with me.” “That's I Dicky inter- of his I been Why for altogether different proposition. You shouldn’'t take { things out of my hands,” Teturned Dicky shortly, “but you ought to know that I'm only too anxious to lavish everything I can get on vou, and then you talk about hating to ask me for money? That makes a fellow feel fne to hear his wife of three weeks { handing out a line of talk Hlke that. You must love me a lot if you feel that way.” The Quarrel Made Worse. “Dicky, can’t you really understand an ing yourself to what I am saying?” I | demanded. “Suppose it were you who | were managing the house and I were earning the living. Would you like | to come, to me for everything?” “You are supposing the most arrant ! nonsense. It has nothing to do with the case,” Dicky replied, arrogantly. “Look here, Madge, do you realize ' where you are drifting? You'll be the most rampant feminist going if you don’t look out. Two or three days ago you sprang that nonsense about earning the equivalent of a servant, or something like that: I'm glad you seem to have forgotten It, and new vou come with this rot about * pot wanting to ask me for money. Do my feeling, or are you wilfully blind- ! ycu think I'm going to be niggardly and dole you out a quarter at a time That isn't the proposition at all, but this allowance business looks to me just as if your wife was some kind of a hired housekeeper. How can vou tell how much you’ll need each week? Lots of unexpected expenses come up. I know you. If you had an allow- ance you'd deny yourself everything so as to keep within it!” Evidently Dicky stopped talking cnly because he was out of breath. I seized the opportunity to try to clinch my argument. “Dicky, you must listen to me,” I said firmly. “I am in deadly earnest both about an allowance, and about earning some money to pay the maid. I have not forgotten that at all. u simply have waited until I could talk to vou about it. I want to know whether vou object to my taking that study club’s history class one day each week, because you fear it would inter- fere with some of our pleasure trips together, or because you object to my earning money in any way. If it be simply the interference, I will try to find some other way of earning the money."” “The devil you will!” Dicky sprang to his feet. “Dicky!” I exclaimed. “Never mind the French. If you can’t stand a mild word like that 3you’d better go up and take vour seat at the right hand of Gabriel or Abra- ham, or who ever runs the ranch, right away. But let me tell you one thing: you will earn no money outside. I will not have it. Do you hear me?” I closed my eyes for an instant to gather strength for the answer I knew I must give Dicky. Then I stood up and faced him. To Lil's, of Course, “Let me understand you fully. You will not plan for a regular housekeep- ing allowance, nor will you give your consent to my earning money “You are eminently correct in both suppositions.” “Then, do you hear me,” I aid icily. *This money,” picking up the bills which I had laid upon the table, “I shall use. When it is used up I shall arrange to have the tradesmen’s ills sent to you for paymeht. Katie's wages and any incidental expenses, including my clothing, T shall pay out of the money I personally earn.” I faced him steadily, waiting for the outburst I knew would come. Dicky never was taught to control his temper when he was a child. As a result, when he does give way to it he is positively terrifying. He stood glaring at me, his face reddening, his hands clinching and unclinching. Then with a sudden oath, he snatched the nearest thing to his hand, a cut glass vase of mine, one of my treasures, and dashed it against the hearth of the gas grate, shattering it. The sound of the breaking glass seemed to bring him to himself. I could almost see the words of apology trembling on his lips. But he did not utter them. In- stead, he set his lips, and went into hie room, where I heard .him rushing around like mad. I sat motionless gazing at the shattered vase, waiting. In a few minutes he came out of the Toom in his evening clothes, with his high hat and stick. Without a word or a glance at me he went out of the (living room, closing the door ofter with a slam. Where had he gone? soul gave me the answer. To Lillian Gale of course. My prophetic “A FOOL THERE WAS” SHOWING A. . uX'S Theda Bara, will be shown today at Fox's in her greatest success ‘A Fool There Was,” dramatized from i Kiplings “The Vampire.” In mak- ing this scrcen ve n several tinct rovelties have been introduced, mos. siriking of which occur in the introducti n of the various charac- Mi, known her remarkabe dis= ters. s for powers is seen lit- | erally at first as the “Rag and a bone ,and a hank of hair,” of | poem.

The | rose gradually becomes flery scarlet and then dissolves into a splash of crimson blocd. Quite as effective is the introduc- tion of Edward Jose who enacts the | vampire’s luckle:s victim. He is seen at fi st in the prime of a vigor- ous, healthy manhood. Gradually, as the grip of the siren tightens on him and his will and purpose sapped by drugs and drink, and wiles of his evi’, enchantress, features become lined and worn. palsied hands feebly reach out the woman who has made him hers.

These pictures are the first which show the explosion of shrapnel and high explosives and in one of the pictures the onlooker sees one of the big thirty-centimeter guns in action at the forts of Przemysl. Immedi- ately following the explosion the onlooker sees the effect—the shrap- nel breaking in the air and hurl- ing its shock into the trenches of the enemy.

You see the deadly action of the German war machine. You see what forty vears of prepara- tion have accomplished. If you have pro-German sympathies you want to see what Germany is doing.

Har- ris will present “Some Baby,” a new three-act farce by Zellah Covington and Jules Simonscn, revised and staged by Percival Knight and with the same brilliant company of fun- makers that will be seen at the Boston, immediately after this engagement. Tuneful ‘“‘Adele,” one of the pret- tiest light operas that has been seen here in a long time, will be sung at the Parsons theater again this even- ing. Charming Myrtle Jersey has the title role and the company is a well- balanced one. It includes Dorothy Petts, a Hartford girl. No finer actor nor more enjovable play than Cyril Maude and “Grumpy,” first half of next week will be seen in Hartford this year. Mr. Maude's superb characteri~ sation of the title role served to make thie plece one of the most pronounced successes that ever endured for a full geason on Broadway.

More than twenty song numbers are introduced and all are part of the story. The best known of these is the Adele waltz song which has gained a wide vogue and is a popular orchestra number both here and in England. The scen- ic and costume equipment is said to be as handsome as any ever used in musical comedy. “Adele” which comes to the Russ- win Lyceum, Thursday, October 21, was originally produced at the Long- acre theater in New York and scored a hit of such proportions that it re- mained there the entire season. The company that will present it here is the only “Adele” organization in existence and comprises an attractive list of well known singers and come- dians among them being Myrtle Jer- sey, Clara Palmer, Fred Frear, Felix Haney, Charles 1{3@}!’5,‘ Maurice Lavigne, Sidney DaMes} Jules Epail- ly, Dorothy Betts, Elsie Burt and the famous “Adele” chorus of prima don- nas.

If you tried to get close to her you felt as if you were sliding off some hard, slippery surface. She made me think of beautiful shiny cold things, like enamel and diamonds.” The cynic laughed heartily at this characterization, but aven without knowing the particular jlady in question, I thought it very I clever. You see I know other peo- ple whom it fits. Don’'t you? People whom we would like ever so well if we weren't somehow held off and repelled by that peculiar hardness.
