' ews for Theater Goers and REVELATIONSOF A WIFE By ADELE When Dicky had told me he had just had a telephone message saying that Bess Marsden would not be able to come to our litiga chafing dish supper because of her brother's illness in Chi- cago, my first feeling was that of re- lief. I had so dreaded to meet this woman, of whose life I disapproved, that the postponement of the ordeal appeared to me very much as I imag- ine a reprieve must to @ condemned murderer. I suppose my face must have flected my feeling, for the scowl Dicky’s face deepened. “You seemed so pleased over your escape that it would be a pity not to gratify you further,” he said slowly. “I think I had better telephone Lil and the Lesters and call the whole ‘thing off for tonight."” T had a strong inclination to say curtly, “Pleare yourself,” and thus get rid of the whole uffair. T understood Dicky's explosive temper well enough by this time to know that any irritat- ing remark of mine at this juncture would result in his ®¥:lephoning his prospectixe guests to stay at home, re- gardless of what they might think. But my priGe urged me to save the situation at all costs. The Lesters, whom I had never met, might accept whatever excuse Dicky might choose to give, but I knew that Lillian Gale would realize the true situation in a flash- She would know tthat Dicky and I had quarreled over our guests and I ‘was horribly afraid that she would re- on TONIGHT AND TUES, Willlamx Farnum In HE ; SIGN OF THE CROSS” Jictor Moore In “CHIMMIE FADDEN" THURS.

I told myself ficrcely. I real- ized that T would do almost anything to keep her from guessing my dislike of her, for fear she might call “dis- like”, “Jealousy.” So I put down with an iron hand my inclination to say something irritating to Dicky, and thus at onesstroke elim- inate all possibility’ of ever having to entertain Lillian Gale. Instead I forced a smilé to my lips, and all traces of annoyance out of my voice. ‘Don’t be absurd, Dicky,” T said pleasantly. “You are imagining things, I certainly am not pleased to learn of Miss Marsden’s tirouble, and you sure- ly are festing when you speak of do- ing =0 discourteous a thing as recall- ing your invitations for tonight. I nev- er should be able to face Mrs. Under- Wwood again if you did a thing so hu- miliating to me as that.” ‘T don’t think that last possibility would cause you any very great grief,” muttered Dicky, but I knew from his face and manner that 1T had won, and that he would soon be over his irritation. “By the way, Dicky,” T v glad of GARRION } from the cupboard a large, dark brown jar of the very coarest kind of a kitchen crockery. “The very Ghing!" He held it off admiringly. ‘Come on Madge.” “Dicky!” I protested, for I could not believe him serious. “You don't mean to put those beautiful flowers in that coarse kitchen crock.” ‘Just wait until you see them in it,” he said. “You are blinded by preju- dice. A brown dish on the kitchen shelf, a common brown dish is to you, and it is nothing more.” The parody of the quotation stung me more than I was willing to admit even to myself. I had always quite prided myself upon my taste in ar- ranging things. It seemed to me now as is Dicky put my opinions to one side as it they amounted to nothing. Household Notes Cream soups are in place only at luncheon. It is always a poor plan to bribe a child to do things. Heavy salads are better served with light luncheons. Potatoes or hominy should never be used when a cereal appears. With fat meats, fresh vegetables and tart flavors should be served. A very practical way to finish a floor is to paint it with linseed oil. One starchy food and one acid food should be served in every din- ner. If fried foods, like fritters or griddle cakes are served, an acid fruit should appear. Lemons are so unexpectedly useful | that the well-equipped pantry is never without them. The bone should be left in a roast, it will help to keep the juice in and will add flavor and sweetness. Don’t forget to close the refriger- | ator door each time you use the box, | the ice will last much longer. Never make a guest fecl that the | entire family has been incon- | venienced by the arrival of an extru | one. : In winter a substantial breakfast is necessary as the body fires are al- ways at low ebb in the morning. Oysters chopped and served in the gravy of a particularly juicy porter- house steak, are very delicious. If dumplings are kept boiling steadily from the time they are in the pot until they are taken out, they will be much lighter. Do not take the lid the opportunityy to ask him question, “did you get the flowers “Right here,” Dicky's voice was pleasant as he sprang to his feet and handed me an enormous box which lay on a chair near him. “F hope they will suit you.” “Suit me!” I exclaimed. T had un- done the box and uncovered a great cluster of golden daffodils and snowy narcissus, with the feathery green of the maidenhair ferns completing the incarnation they seemed. “They are exactly what I want against that rath- er dull green of the dining rodm pa- per.” “You have an artistic soul,” com- men<2d Dicky idly, and I felt my face flush. I knew he meant nothing by the remark, but I am both foolishly sensitive and self-conscious, and it flashed over me that I had been prat- ing of color tones and combinations when my knowledge of such things was nothing compared to that pos- sessed by my artist husband. “Will you arrange them for'me?"” I asked, to cover my confusion. “Sure,” assented Dicky heartily. “They won't take any arranging. They should be put in something as care- lessly as possible. Do you want it done now ?” “Why, I suppose they ough® to be put in water, and then I can put them in here until after dinner- When I ar- range the table for tonight it will be a simple matter fo set them in there. Or do you want some of them here?” “I don’t think so,” returned Dicky “Flowers for a table where people are to eat are a necessity, but it would look too much like a formal function %> have them scattered all over.” “Common Brown Dish.” “That is my idea, exactly,” T agreed heartily. “Now what shall we put them in?’ Dicky's glance swept “Nothing here,” he said. “I removed several horrors belong- ing to the woman who rented us the apartment,” I returned. ‘One of them is an imitation cut glass vase, an im- mense thing, but I am afraid it is the friendly the room- tomorrow are “The Pitfall,” a em feature; “The Chief Inspector,” Interesting Blograph drama and @ Tenderfoot’s Dream,” an amus- | comeay. he bookings for the week include OF Moore in ‘‘Chimmie Fadden,” finesday and Thursday; the Essan- Special, “In The Palace Of The 8, Thursday and Friday and Pickford in “Little Pal,” Friday _Saturday. - There will also be 800d vaudeville attractions. dish of dry grated cheese on table i{s convenient because many ple enjoy the cheese over soup, , boiled macaroni or plain lettuce only thing in the house big enough.

There are plenty of tense situations in the five act drama, “The Bludgeon,’ by Paul Armstrong which is now playing at Foxs. Behind the dramatic eplsodes of the play is a story of love, social ambition, and the whole group of passions which naturally surround a woman wh) endeavors to live be- yond the means provided by her hus- band. Kathryn Osterman, the star of the play, as the wife, finds in this drama plenty of scope for her histrion- ic powers, and uses them to the ut- most. Between the opening scenes in the little cottage where she, her hus- band, and their small daughter are living, and the finale, where they have returned to the cottage as to a haven of rest, there is a constant succession of incidents every one of which tells its story and enforces its moral. A Chaplin comedy, and several oth- er single rcel comedies and dramas will augment the stellar attraction. Elizabeth Cutty, the singing violin- ist recently of the Six Musical Cuttys will be the attraction all this week. Miss Cutty possesses a rich soprano voice, singing all of the popular song hits, and she is an equally good vio- Her offering is a most delight- ful and entertaining one. Some gowns are accompanied by the chemisette of net and the high collar.

Long cords and tassels s a tream from the ends of the round muffs, White and color are usually' com- bined in the smartest new waists. Detachable fur collars and cuffs are a good idea for one's winter suit. Maline and metal are the accept- ed materials for evening or ‘‘dressy” hats. There are some siuts with coats cut to hang straight from the shoul- ders, ‘While some frocks declare a waist line, others equally fashionable have none. Balls and pompons are made of fur; they are a jaunty trimming for the new hat, Flesh pink, used discreetly and in small touches, has an excellent effect with dark blue. 2 Unless you are tall and slender, | be careful how you place trimming on the bottom of your skirts. Things running round the skirt tend to thick- en the appearance. It is fitting to have especially de- signed undergarments to wear with the evening dres: The camisole and petticoat combined and made of flesh-colored pussy-willow taffeta is perhaps the most satisfactory. The young girl’s school dress may be lengthened by setting in, halfway up the skirt, a broad band of con- trasting material; repeat this same material in a quilting around the bottom of the skirt, put a touch on the waist and you have a very chic little frock.

This afternoon, for instance, I must go to town with the lamp for my coffee percolator. It refused to light this morning and I went to all the shops near home in hope of getting it fixed. It needs a new wick, one man told me and he told me that there was just one place to get it, and that means a trip into the heart of the city. 1 spent more than an hour this morning, and even now the end is not in sight. Like as not the man in town will send me somewhere else. They always do. What Would The Efficient House- keeper Do? “Now what I want to know is what one of those women who preach efficiency in the home, with a hard and fast schedule as its basis would say to that?” The other evening I had one of “those women" in to dine. I put the question to her as it had been put to me. “I would have unscrewed the lit- tle iron frame that holds the wick, raised the wick up, and then filled in the bottom of the holder with ab- sorbent cotton,” she said promptly. “It would have taken perhaps two minutes, probably less. The next time 1 went in town I should have gotten a new wick in case of a fresh emergenocy.” “But,” 1 protested, taking my friend's part, “you know how to do those things. It's part of yoor business. But how could she?” She Read the Directions, “I know how simply because I read the directions that come with the various articles I buy. That is something few women will take the time to do. “If it is an article that it to re- main in daily use—such as yoyn» friend’s percolator—I file' it away in a drawer that I keep just for the purpose. The moment the perco- lator refused to light I should have gotten out my directions. You will find, nine times out of ten, when they accompany some nationally ad- vertised article, that these directions cover almost every contingency. would have discovered that the lam needed a new wick. Incidentally, as a matter of efficiency, I should have had a new wick at hand.” Will You Be Efficient or Haphazard? I told the lady with the perco- lator lamp this, “Well, of course that's only instance,” she said. Of course it is. But life is sind= ply a series of instances which can be met efficiently or haphazardly. In the meantime I'm going to pass the advice of the efficiency expert along. Read your directions and file them away when they concern an article you use every day. Perhaps then your schedule be easler to hold to when plece of household apparatus wrong.
