I cannot, I cannot!” Face downward upon the bed in my room, where I had thrown my- self when I fled from Dicky's revela- tion of Blizabeth Marsden’s domes- tic problem.. I repeated these words over and over to myself like the patter of a .prayer, Theoretically I have always he- lieved in larger freedom, greater op- portunities for women. My mother was a suffragist in the days when the fight for suffrage meant something. But of the other issues which women have been facing in these strange latter days I had no conception. When I was 4 years, however, another woman, my mother’s most intimate friend, had run away with my father. I have never seen my father since. I do not know, nor do I care, whether he be living or dead. But to me the very name of a wom- who could claim as her lover the father of another woman’s child has always been anathema. Yet . here one of my husband’s friends, who has to be my own guest, was such a woman. I thought of Lillian Gale, with her sensational di- vorce record, and her constant as- sumption of being Dicky's best friend. And these two women Dicky evidently meant to be my associates in my new life. It was unbearable! I told myself as I lay fighting out my battle. But, unbearable or not, T did not see any way out. They were to be my guests in a few hours. The laws of hospitality forbade my being any- thing but cordial to them in my own home. I made a sudden, swift compromise with my own soul, and hurried out before my courage should leave me I found him still assiduously shell- ing the almonds, but his face looked troubled. I laid my hand on his shoulder, and at the touch he drew me down to the arm of his chair. | “Dicky,” I suppose my voice trem- ! bled, for the grasp of his arm tight- ened around me as if to give me courage, “I am going to be very frank with you. I cannot pretend to you that I am pleased with the thought of having Mrs. Underwood and® Miss ‘Marsden, especially - Miss Marsden as guests. But I can prom- ise you that when I am with you, | Katie put her head in at the door the shelling of the almonds. Dicky and I had spent so much time in our discussion of the personality of the guests who were to come to our chafing dish supper in the evening that I had hurried him out after the flowers I wanted, not wishing to wait until after dinner, when there might not be so good a selection in the shops. “Right away, Katie, I have just finished the last one. Come and help me take them into the kitchen.” Katie came toward me, but as the caught sight of the shells strewn all over the rug, she stopped short and pointed her finger dramatically at the disorder, “Who did dot?” Her tone was injured, almost in- solent, but T knew that she was jus- tified in her anger. She had worked hard the day before to put the apart- ment in immaculate order. “I am very sorry, Katie, Graham upset the. paper of shells as he was bringing it in here. If you will ‘sweep rug I will help you dust and polish the furniture over again You will not have to spend much time, just see that no dust remains on any of them after the sweeping.” If Katie be easily angered, she.is also just as easily mollified. She caught up my hand and held it out admiringly. . “You not get dot hand all black for tonight,” she said. ‘“Meester Gra- ham, he always upset things, I used to dot. But when folks come you not want your hands like maid’s, you be lady.” “All right, Katie, thank you,” I answered, going into the:' kitchen with the dish of shelled almonds. Kate followed, frankly curious. “How you feex dose amonds?” she asked. “I no know. My other laéy she always get dem by the delicates- sen: You feex yours yourself. Her tone' was admiring. I felt my self-respect as a hostess and house- Wwife coming back to me. The Silken Square. “First put them into a bowl boiling water, I directed. . brought out a yellow cake bowl and offered it to me, “That will do nicely. Put the nuts in, and cover them well with boil- ing water. ax I sat in the living room finishing | but Mr. ' of | Katie | ‘One of my most cherished wedding presents was a beautifully embroid- ered bedspread and set of pillow cases and sheets, the gift of a semi- :invalid friend whose lonely leisure hours were brightened by her skill in embroidery. I had another set which I had embroidered myself, but which was much less beautiful. This I decided to put upon the bed in Dicky’s room, reserving the exquisito | 8ift for my own bed. I reasoned that the men whom Dicky might take to his room would never notice any- thing, while women would b both more critical and more appreciative. A cedar chest, one of the few ex- travagances of my life before I met Dicky, stood under my window. I raised the.lid and took from the chest the bed linen, I treasured so carefully. The set of napkins, and the centerpiece and doilies which I ,intended to use upon my table, lay next below. As I lifted them out I saw a queerly figured square of silk which Jack had once brought my | mother from India. ‘IN OLD KENTUCKY” OPENS HERE TONIGHT ‘ Theatrical managers and playgoers Lelieve the sun will never set for “In Old Kentucky.” Its vogue year after year is one of the wonders of stage- land. This is the 23rd season for this remarkable play on the American stage. To celebrate this wonderful achievement—almost without parallel in the history of stagedom—the present tour (1915-16) will be made with many special features added to j mark in a fitting manner the success attained during twenty-two vears of uninterrupted stage presentations. ‘The cast announced for this season ic headed by Miss Louise Murray, who although a newcomer in the role, is a most capable and talented young actress. The pickaninny band will be bigger and funnier than ever and a Lrand new and splendid scenic equip- ment will be provided. “In Old Ken- tucky,” will be presented at the Lyceum tonight and Saturday, with | Saturday matinee.

To me it was no laughing matter that we were dis- cussing: I.tried to get away from the | encircling grasp of Dicky’s arm, but it was too strong for me. “Don’t be angry at me for laugh- ing, sweetheart,” he said, “but the idea of Lil or Bess wanting to meet your friends, or to do any of the ordinary social stunts women do is the funniest thing I have stuck yet. cooking lesson. I reflected that this ‘'was one reason that made so many ! of these raw immigrant girls so efl- cient, their childlike enthusiastic in terest in any new problem of their | ‘work. |1y “They have to stay in the boiling water until the brown coats will rub off easily.

Isn’t it awful the trouble it is to get servants nowa- days? No, the baby is named after his aunt on the father’s side. Is it true they are going to wear hoops | again?’ Wow!” And Dicky doubled | over in enjoyment of his own imita- tions, If I had not been so angry I would have laughed also, for Dicky has a trick at mimicry, but I was bitterly offended. I wrentched myself iree and stood up. “Will you kindly tell me why you should expect me to show any cour- tesy to your friends when you sneer at mine in such brutal fashion?”. “What do you mean?” sprang to his feet 1n amazement. Then a flush spread “Oh! I say, Madge, that as any reflection friends.” “You said you had to laguh at the idea of those women wanting to meet my friends:’’ Dicky grinned again. “Madge, if you could hear the venom drip from the words ‘those women,” you would agree that I had .cause for thinking you were insulting my friends, in- on your stead of the shoe being-on the other | foot.” “First, I apologize for everything I said, or didn’t say, for what I meant or didn’t mean, for living, in fact,” sald Dicky playfully, but as he saw my face quickly chaiged his tone. “Let’s clear up one thing,” he be- gan. “If you have any kind of iéea floating around Dicky | over his face. | I didn’t mean ; | “Spread the towels over the table, !and call me when you find that the i brown coat on the nuts is loosened,” | I said, as I left the kitchen and went | to my ‘room.

But I have an ideal of my own, and you ought to know who answers the description—unless you go smashing it with all sorts of foolish prejudices.” His tender voice, his ardent eyes pointed his words with meaning. ‘Woman-like, much of the bitterness I felt began to melt away. I asked | myself flercely, and with a sense of humiliation, if the real root of my prejudice against these women might be my fear that Dicky admired them and wished that I were as brilliant, | as attractive and as unconventional as they.

No less than four offers were made lew The Judge Ta Can you imagine anyone better qualified to talk on the causes of di- vorce than a judge who has tried hundreds of cases? 1 cannot. And that is why I feel I have something of unusual inter- est to offer you today. Among my | letter friends, I am proud to say, is a judge, and for your benefit and mine he has set down some of the conclu- sions which have crystallized in his mind during many years of experience in hearing and weighing both sides of matrimonial tangles. “You wished for some of my con- { clusions as to the divorce problem. I have tried hundreds of cases and in answer to similar inquiries I have always said that I have no solution to offer. Each case is sui generis. There are no generalizations possible, it seems to me. One cannot point to any similar series of acts or omis- sions for a considerable number of cases and say, ‘Here is the cause.’ There have been nearly as many causes as cases before me. Common Sense Badly Necded “Yet, after all, perhaps one con- clusion can be drawn. It is that if good common sense were used by both parties to the contract there would be fewer cases of divorce. “I used “to think this common sense should be exercised in the choice of a mate, that is, before marriage. I still believe in‘that, but mismating is not nearly so bad as lack of com- mon sense, want of tact and judgment after marriage. Dangers Of Tl-Advised Joking. “Lately in several divorce cases I have had in my attention strongly to Manager H. H. Frazee for the English rights to “A Pair of Sixes,” during the first week of its run at the Longacre theater, New York. He declined them all, as he wished to make the production in London him- self. It was already arranged to pre- duce it last month, when the war Interferred. Arrangements for its production had already been made in Paris, Berlin, and the other Euro- pean capitals, and Australia, but they nccessarily, have been postponed for the present, There is no doubt, how- crer, that in due course of time, the farce that has made the theater- goers of this country hold their sides wivh laughter, will make ite laugh heard around the world. It will be seen at the Parsons theamr‘ Iks On Divorce drawn to the ill effects of a perverted sense of humor. Two cases last week showed the evil at joking or jesting on delicate subjects. In each case what one says was a mere joke later becomes the source of deep suspicion. Alleged jokes about attentions to er from persons of the opposite sex mvay be tolerated sometimes, but when there arises the least trouble the ag- grieved partner reflects upon those supposed jokes and begins to suspect they were more in earnest than in jest, especially if the least jealousy is aroused. In the cases last wgek the parties, especially the husbands,®had said too much about intending to pay attentions. to another woman, about liking such others or seeking such or regarding it easy to replace the spouse they had, etc. Religion and the sanctity of the marriage rela- tion are unsafe subjects on which to jest. How Accumulated Little Things Cause Divorce. pe “I have noticed also that many little things showing want of taste or of tact or both are passed without remark at the time, and later, when troubles arise, all such incidents are assembled and then they loom moun- tain high to the agsrieved spouse.” The divorce problem is one of the greatest questions we have h y us today. And so long as hu \ nature remains human, we shall have it with us, no matter how We “settle it” by laws.
