By ADELE REVELATIONSOF A WIFE GARRISON Harry Underwood Makes a Bet With Himself. “Oh! Mrs. Graham, how perfect- 1y exquisite!” “Mrs. Underwood, while removing | her wraps in my room, had caught‘ sight of the embroidered spread and pillow slips I had put on my bed in Lonor of my guests, After her ulti- tum to my husband and hers about | drinking anything before the arrival i CT OF UNION- VERDI ISM. solaced themselves with cigars, and ‘had conducted her to my room.

You simply can’t get work like this in the shops, unless you pay not only what the work is worth but profit enough | besides to enable the proprietor to | buy an extra car or so.” “I do not think she would care to do the work for money,” I began with a touch' of hauteur. How darc this| woman talk of employing a friend of | mine? Why did'she assume that the donor of the exquisite gift would be | willing to work for pay? Then a| touch of sanity come to me. To Lil- | ilan Gale everybody worth while was | a worker. She marketed her own brains and she never thought of some | other woman not being willing to | earn money by her skill. I knew that my invalid friend would be very glad of a liberal commission like this, | and I put my pride and temper in my | pocket. . A Contrast in Husbands. “But I shall be very glad to ask her,”. I went on, lamely enough. “Her strength is limited, and she never has taken any commissions.

They would be so good- looking, don't you think so?” “Yes, indeed,” T returned. “Shall we join our hosbands?” “In just a minute,” she replied, tak- ing a lipstick, a tisy pot of rouge and a powder puff from the dainty satin bag she carried and proceeding to touch up her face.

It dcesn’t harmonize with your eyes and your mouth. They were meant for kindness, not ~eveiity. If there is any way that I can show you I am hum- bied to the dust for coming here with Dicky the other night just name it. T'll do any penance you say.” “You must be mistaken, Mr. Under- Woo0d,” I strove to control my voice, “I bave no grudge whatever against you, 80, you see, vou are absolved in ad- vance from my penance.” “WIill you shake hands os it?” He put out his large, white, beautifully formed hand and grasped mine before I had half extended it. 00d erc I felt myself flushing hotly. Of all the absolutely idoltic things in the world, this standing hand in hand with Harry Underwood in a formal pact of friendship or forgiveness or whatever he imagined the handclasp signified was the most ridiculous. He was§quick enough to fathom my dis- taste but not generous enough to re- lease me. Instead, he clasped my hand tighter, and, bending slightly, so that he could look straight into my eyes, he said lazily smiling: “You are the most charming pre- varicator I know. You come pretty near to hating me, little lady. But you won’t dislike me long. I'll make a bet with myself on that.” ROBERT MANTELL IN SCREEN DEBUT Robert B. dramatic and Shakespearean Mantell, the Americy actor celebrated foremost the day of makes his screen debut at Fox's to- morrow and Saturday in ‘“The Blind- | ness of Devotion” supperted by Gen- evieve Hamper and an all star cast of Fox favorites. ‘‘The Blindness of Devotion” combines beauty, love, ha- tred, revenge and action.

Come on, let’s see what the boys arec doing.” “The boys” looked exceedingly com- fortable, oking vigorcusly and dis- cussing the merits of two boxers Mr. TUnderwood had recently seen. entered the room both men, of course, sprang to their feet, and I had a mo- appearance. Dicky is slender, lithe, with merry brown eyes and thick brown hair, with a touch of auburn in it, and just enough suspicion of a brushing each day trying to keep it down. Harry Underwood, taller even than Dicky, who is above the med- fum in height, is massive in frame, well knit, muscular, with black hair tinged with gray, and the blackest, most plercing eyes I have ever seen. I was proud of Dicky as I stood look- ing at them, while Lillian exchanged some merry nonsense with Dicky, but I also had to acknowledge that Harry Underwood was & splendid specimen of manhood. A Strangely Compelling Personality. Af if he had read my thoughts, his eyes caught mine and held them. To PARSONS’ THEATRE—Hartford Friday & Sat., Nov. 19-20 (Mat.

Therefore, when you get a bad cough don’t proceed to dose yourself with a lot of drugs that merely “stop” the cough temporarily by deadening the throat nerves.
