Morning. ‘What are you going to do, Madge? ‘Why the uniform?” " Dicky looked lazily up from the Sunday newspapers, which were strewn around the couch in the liv- ing room where he lay stretched at ease. It was Sunday morning, Dicky’s “lazy time” of the week. The &Sun- day morning before this I had sat near him in the big chair, also read- ing, and we had promised ourselves that this would be our weekly cus- tom, ‘neither of us having much clination for church. But this morning, with the expec- tation of guests in the evening, T knew that there was work waiting for me, so as soon as Dicky was thoroughly absorbed in his papers. I had slipped into my room and put on one of my kitchen aprons. A sense of unfamiliarity came to me as I buttoned it, for T had not worn 1t since Katie had taken the helm of the kitehen. I had hoped that Dicky would not notice my absence, but he saw and called to me as I passed through the living room on my way to the kitchen, “I must prepare those salted -al- monds for tonight, Dicky,” I replied. “Bother the salted almonds. I told you to get those that were all ready. Can't Katie do them?” “Katie has all she can do,” T ex- plained patiently. ‘“She has the din~ ner to prepare, and then this after- noon she will polish up the furniture a bit.” i Dicky gave a groan of pretended dismay. “Don’t tell me, Madge, that you're one of the women who start to clean- ing house every time they expect guests,” he began. “I used to vow that never, never would I marry one of that stripe. "It takes all the com- fort of having anybody come to the house to have everything so stiff.” I wanted to remind Dicky of his diatribe of a few days before, when he had hurt me immeasurably by his criticism of the disordered living room. But I had learned that incon- sistency of speech was one of Dicky’s chief characteristics. The opinion he expressed one day he was likely to contradict the next. So I skirted the topic carefully. Tete-a-Tete. “We're not going to clean house, Dicky—nothing that will disturb you a bit, But I must prepare the al- monds myself. It is a tedious job and I want the time after dinner free from the sandwiches and the table. Youwll run out this morning and get me a few flowers, won’t you?” “Sure,” agreed Dicky, byt there's no hurry, is there?” “Nene at all,” I assured him. “All right, then; T'll go after a in- PARSONS’ EATRE—Hartford and Satunlay; Nov. 12-13 (Matinee Saturday) Presents a:Rlay Crowded with Laughs— “A' FULL HOUSE"” By Fred Jackson. - s, 25c to $1.50; Mat- Seat Sale Wednesday. while.” He resumed his reading and I went to the kitchen. “Please get me the nutcracker and the almonds you brought home last night,” I told Katie. “I will crack them here on the end of the kitchen table. Be sure that you have plenty of boiling water in the teakettle by the time I finish them.” “All right, Misses Graham. I feex.” Katie was bustling around the kitchen, getting the breakfast dishes out of the way with more than even her usual rapidity of movement. I sat down at the table and began cracking nuts. It was a slow job and I had finished only about a fourth of them when Dicky appeared at the door. “I've come to Thelp,”” he nounced, but I saw Katie's look an- of dismay at the tiny kitchen she must get dinner. “Go back to your reading,” I com- manded gayly. “I don’t need you. Besides, there isn't room for three of us here. l\ano hasn’t room to turn around as it i ‘That’s easily remedied.” Dicky caught up the dish of nutmeats, the bag of uncracked nuts and the paper strewn with shells where I was work- ing and carried them into the living room, I trailing behind him uttering futile protests. As he reached the ta- ble the paper slipped fronX his grasp and the shells flew in every direc- tion. “Dicky!” I gasped. ‘“Why on earth did you bring all this stuff in here? ‘“You don’t suppose I meant to drop f the blasted stuff, do you?” demanded Dicky, and his voice held a hint ot| anger that 1 promptly heeded. “Of course not, Dic I soothed, ‘‘and, as long as the mischief is done, we might as well finish them here. T'll get another nutcracker and the folding sewing table from my room.” “You get the nutcracker and I'll produce the table,” said Dicky, grand- ly, and in a few minutes we were seated opposite each other, amicably cracking the nuts, while Dicky talked of everything and nothing. “You're not half listening to what I am saying,” Dick said, accusingly, “and I want you particularly to hear this. Youw'll have to hear it some time, so you might as well before you | meet her.” “Meet whom??” I was curious at | once. “Besgs Marsden.” Dicky stopped and flushed a bit. He appeared at a loss for words. Dicky, of all people! I interrupted him breathlessly. “You don’t mean Elizabeth Faulk- ner Marsden? “The same,” said Dicky .dramati- cally. “You don't know her?” | “No, but I have read many things she has written. She is terribly ex- treme, and I cannot agree with all she says, but her style is wonderful, and many of her arguments are sound. I shall be so glad to meet her.” “Will you? I wonder,” muttered Dicky. Then he spoke rapidly, bold- 1y. Wwhere “Bess not only has terribly extrne | views, but she put them into pr tice. She believes that if a mag woman have mar and find they no longer love each other, cannot hold them, and they are to form ties elsewhere.” Hard To Comprehend. “You mean?” I felt breathless, as if | I were running. 5 ‘“Well, among people who do not| know her she observes the conven- | tions. But among us it is generally understood that she and Payt Atwood are something dearer than friends.” | “Why don’t they marry?” I felt as if I knew, yet dreaded the answer. “Because, unfortunately. Paul hgs a wife who will neither make life bearable at home nor give him a di- vorce that he may find happiness elsewHere. The Atwoods have a child, too, which complicates mat- ters.” “Oh!” All my repugnance to the whole affair was contained in the lit- tle exclamation. I felt stifled. I wanted to be alone, I got up blindly. “Please pardon me a few minutes.” I said. “I will be right back.” anda that laws | free If you are handy with the needle and imagination, much richness may be added to the taffeta evening dress by embroidering here and there a flower in threads of gold Tickets Early for “Foot- ‘ ball Night.” he Volunteer Organist” , 10c, 20c.

The skill with which the pictures are posed, the excellent fitness with which each type of character is cast, the amazing daring displayed in the fighting scenes and, above all, in the bull-fight, moments of breath-taking realism and marvelous photography, deserve nothing but the hightest praise. Theda Bara’s wonderful ' “IN OLD KENTUCKY” ON BOARDS MANY YEARS “In Old Kentucky’ is announced as the bill at the Lyceum on Friday and Saturday of this week. This popu- lar play, so vivid and full of life, has now reached its twenty-third year of Josph Sullivan as “Colone] Sandusky” and Louise Murray as “Madge” in “In Old Kentucky.” unparalleled across on the American stage, never failing to draw crowded houses from one end of the country to the other. Age cannot wither nor custom stage its infinite variety. Whitten by C. T. Dazey, has created for itself a name and fame as a meritorious stage offering second to no other drama now cur- rent. For the forthcoming engage- ment here, a splendid company will appear, including Miss Louise Mur- ray, Miss Grace Fine, Miss Marion Langdon, Joseph Sullivan, Bert Thompson, Paul Hamlin, Conried Cantzen, and Harold Russell. The big and elaborate scenic production, prepared for the Boston theater en- gagement, will be used. The picka- ninny brass band, always a unique feature of the presentation of this play, will add to the merriment of the occasion. “THE WIFE” PLAY AT POLI'S NEXT WEEK The popularity of rural comedy dramas of the right sort is evidenced at Poli's theater tais week where the Players are presenting “The Volunteer Organist.” The various characters are unique and serve to present the Play- ers in a light that not only pleases but entertains the audiences. Mr. Hol- lingsworth is again seen as a country parson and Miss Florine Farr the new leading woman, s his swectheart.

STOREY AND MORENO IN BIG FOUR FILM Tonight’s feature of the motion picture program at Keeney's, ‘‘The Dust Of Egypt,” a seven part Vita- graph film, with Edith Storey and Antonio Moreno playing leading roles, promises to be one of the best “movie” treats given local Iovers of the silent drama in a long time. The story is one of uncommon inter- est and the picturized version is in- tensely dramatic, The piece was staged before the camera on an elab- orate scale and the production is said to be one of the most expensive in this enteresting company’s list. The picture will be the big attraction to- with John Barrymore in the title role, will probably prove a strong competitor for'first honors The Vitagraph special will also be ' shown Friday. Another feature for tomorrow and Saturday will be Myrtle Stedman in “Wild Olive.” Promi- nent among the vaudeville performers are The Four Aerial Wizards and The Smiths, a quartet of variety en- tertainers. The act of Roy and Stan- ton also gives satisfaction. “OVER THE WIRE” 7 T VR LR e ) By DOROTHY CLARKE I've just spent some more and who | From linoleum you'll see Gold Dust causes the dirt to flee.

We were reading in the newspaper the other day a letter from a woman who was telling how difficult it was to live on eighteen dollars a week. She told of various hardships (the chief one seemed to be dodging bill collec- tors) and ended plaintively, “And I never had a hat that cost more than twelve dollars.” Never But One Hat That Cost Over Seven Dollars- The visiting lady was greatly amused at that. “I never had but one hat that cost more than seven,” she com- mented. “That cost ten, and 1 felt fearfully extravagant when I bought [it. Yet I don’t think my husband ever | made less than thirty dollars a week, cven when we were first married.” And, as I happen to know, he makes at least double that now. And yet she conslders ten dollars for a hat “fearfully extravagant.” That's a study in standards for you. She Had Wanted a Magazine Sub- scription All Her Life. A magazine agent was telling me about her work. “I feel very proud of what I've accomplished today,” she said. “I persuaded a man to let his wife have a subscription to my maga- zine. I happen to know she's been | wanting one for years and years—she’s a woman I know personally—but he didn’t think it was necessary. Poor folks? Hardly! You wouldn’t think so if you could see their house, but he just doesn’t consider magazines a necessity or even a justifiable lux- | ury" As I listened to her I thought of a little house where the bookcases are overflowing with books, and the tables are thickly littered with a delightful (‘ disorder of magazines. This house is rather shabby, and so are the master What Are Necessities ? and mistress, and I heard the mistress eay the other day when a friend of hers was bemoaning the increased price of her favorite talcum, “I nev- er bought a box of talcum powder in my life.” Well Off, But Too Poor For a Specialist. Not long ago a neighbor’s baby was very ill. Thinking to be helpful, we told her the name of a specialist who in a similar illness had saved the life of a friend’s baby. ‘Oh, I guess Dr. L-— is all right,” she sald, naming a gen- eral practitioner of moderate prices and no. great repute. And neither trained nurse or speclalist did they employ, though the baby hovered at death’s door, and is still puny. And yet they have twice the money of the friena for whose child the specialist in question had been called into con- sultation. Only they aren’t the kind of people who spend their money for that sort of thing. Nothing reveals anyone's charac- ter more surely than the taings for which he will and will not spend money.
