It’s simply perfect.” Lillian * Gale’s merry voice inter- rupted her husband’'s declaration to me that I hated him, but that he would make me like him. As he stood’ looking'down'at ‘me ‘,his hand clasping mine so tightly that I could not pull it away, . his.brilliant eyes, with the lazy, appraising look I deo- tested his challenge. I told myself that I did hate him, and that I never, would change my. feeling. Lillian’s nonsense ~was a welcome diversion. With clever mimiery she had struck the attitude of a nervous photographer just ready to close the shutter of his camera. Dicky stood just behind her, also smiling, but while Lillian’s merriment evidently was genuine, I detected a distaste for the proceedings behind Dicky’s smile which I knew was forced. Lillian slipped in an imaginary plate, then springing to one side stood pretending to clasp the bulb of the shutter in her hand, while she count- ed: “One, two, three, four, five— thank you!” “Now if you will just change your expressions,” she rattled on. “Harry, why didn’t you take both her hands? Then if Mrs, Graham will, smile a little, we will have a sentimental gem or if she makes her expression even a trifle more disapproving than it is, I can label it, ‘Unhand me, vill- fan’ " “I never take a dare,” returned her husband, and snatched rhy other hand. But I was really angry by this time and I wrenched my hands away with an effort and threw up my head a trifie haughtily, although for- tunately I was able to control my words: “Do you know, people, that there will be no food for you tonight un- less I busy myself with its, prepara- tion immediately? Mrs. Underwood, won’t you entertain these boys a nd excuse me for a little while?” ‘Welcome Aid. “I know a better scheme than that” Harry Underwood’s voice broke in. “Lil can entertain Dicky and I‘ll help make the sandwiches. I'am probably the best cutter of sandwiches :bread in the state. Earned my living at it for five years once.” His .voice held a touch of cynical amusement. I divined that he was en- joying my evident dislike of him im- mensely. I could not fathom the man. I was beginning not only to hate him, -but.for. some vague, -unexplained- rea- son almost to fear him, “You are altogether too eager,” his wife said brusquely,‘with the rought | | and ready good nature which appears | o be one of her strongest attributes. ““Mrs. Graham isn’t used to your lit- tle ways, aid you would scare her to death. You’'ll just sit down here my bucko boy and keep Dickybird com- pany and I will help Mrs. Graham myself.” \ “That will be awfully good of you’’ I heard myself saying. “Dicky tells me you are B sandwich expert. Let me get.you an apron.” “My hands always feel powdery af- ter gloves.” she answered. “Give me the apron and I'll wash up a bit.” She disappeared- into the bathroom and I reflected upon the strangeness of the situation. I had resented Dicky’s praise of Lillian’s sandwiches. I had insisted upon making . them myself, and here I was genuinely glad to have her with me in the dining room. Of course, my real reason for wishing her with me was my fear that he' hus- band might otherwise insist upon helping me- But when one woman has genuinely welcomed another for whatever reason, it is not so easy to go back to any first dislike of her. I still distrusted Lillian Gale. Sha puzzled me in many ways. I disap- proved of many of her actions. -But 1 I found to my surprise that the active dislike of her I had felt ever since I first met her in the theater had been much modified by the incidents of the afternoon.

I went into the dining room and put on the kitchen apron I had taken off when I heard the voices of my llan appeared arrayed in the apron 1 had given her. | table and surveyed it with approving eyes. “What ripping sandwich Where do you want me to begin? Shall I slice the bread while you fix up the stuff to spread inside?” “If you please,” I replied. “I see there are two or three things I have still remained on the table and Katie appeared. “Oh, yes, Mi I like.” “See that you behave yourself and Mrs. Graham will probably let you stay with her,” Lillian returned brusquely. I saw Katie’s face cloud, and I hastened to give her something to do. . But I was bewildered and dismayed, “Bring me those biscuit cutters I bought the other day and that bottle of tiny onions you bought last night.” “I got no onions, Missis Graham,” Katie said in evident alarm™You no tell me to get onions.” I had my mouth open to reprove her, but I did not utter any wérds of censure. This was no time, I said to myself, to stir up any lurking re- sentment in Katie’s bosom. So contended myself with saying: “I really don’t remember, Katle, thought I mentioned onions. Bring me the cutters and that bottle of mayon- aise dressing. I shall have to do with- out the onions for the caviare. suppose.” s Underwood, I here, ‘What Dillian Said. “Indeed you won’'t,” Lillian sprang “Harry, tessen four blocks down and bring back one of those bottles of tiny on- Yes, they are open, too, by the time you get there. will not take the Dickybird with you- You will go alone. I know you lads. It you start out together you wouldn’t get back here until it was time to serve the rarebit tonight.” I heard a laughing remonstrance from Dicky, a deeper growl from Mr. Underwood and then the closing of the door and the swish of Lillian's skirts as she came back to the tabie. }'I did not wonder, I -told myself, that i she had made a success of her pro- fession. She had the most dominant personality of any woman I had ever seen, “I am glad of a chance to send Harry away, for I want to explain to you about him.” She stopped with an embarrassed {flush. I gazed at her in amazement- Lillian Gale flustered! I could not be- ieve my eyes. “You are not used to us or ways, or I shouldn’t bother to tell | you this. But I can see that you are much annoyed at Harry, and I don’t !blame you. But you mustn’t mind him. He is really harmless.

' MISS MAY ROBSON TO PLAY HERE SOON Thanksgiving day, matinee and night, Miss Mary Robson will appear at the Russwin Lyceum in her famous play, “The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary-" Miss Robson appeared as Aunt Mary at the Garden theater in New she | York three seasons ago, where made a pronounced hit, received the most enthusiastic criticism from the whole New York press and remained six months. She then went to the Studebaker theater in Chicago for a | three months' engagement, where sho continued her succ since then she has been throughout the northwest and to the Pacific coast, playing everywhere to packed houses. She has just finished an eighty-nine weeks’ engagement to an enormous success. All who do not see Miss Robson in this role will miss a rare treat. The play tells the story of a rich maiden lady who once had a love story of her own, but whose heart is bound to her nephew at college, who is a little wild, but not more than the ordinary young man. He is unfor- tunate enough, however, to become involved in a number of scrapes, one | of which is a breach of promise suit in which the nephew is blameless. The ' exposure causes the aunt to disinherit '‘him and he hurries off to New York, where he falls in live with a splendid girl, and where finally the aunt fol- lows him. She is treated to a dinner by the nephew’s college chums, and whirled about town in an automobile, and introduced to the roof gardens and their popular places. The sport completely wins her from her country life, and reconciles her to the mar- riage of her nephew with his sweet- heart. May Robson promises a ve: strong supporting company and most elaborately and staged production.

The picture is valuable as a lesson in history, for besides the decisive battles of the Civil war, Lee’s surren- der to Grant, Sherman’s march to the sca (one of the finest pictures), burn- ing of Atlanta, the assassination of President Lincoln and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan are among the inci- dents pictured, and here it might be well to state that some of the most wonderful and reckless riding is shown by hundreds of these daring horsemen.

PICKFORD FILM"AS “In the Palace of the King,” great Essanay photo-play Pal” as the feature of the program is perhaps one of the presented in tnis city. Five thousand people and 2,000 hcrses were used in presenting the piece before the cam- era. There are over a thousand spe- cial settings and thousands of magnifi- cent costumes. It is a wonderful film and should be seen by every pho- to-play devotee in the city.

She Won't Give Prizes. She made me think of a friend of mine who refuses to give prizes at her bridge parties. Instead she gives dainty favors to each player. “You see,” she says, “someone has to win and someone else—perhaps two or three people—have to be bitterly dis- appointed. I hate that, so I can’t bear to have a prize.” A college professor whom I used | to know discontinued the contests | which had been a part of his course because he couldn’t bear to have the defeated suffer disappointment when they had worked so hard.

Walk down the street: successful shop.

Even suppose that Socialism, with its blessed promise of the elimina- tion of industrial competition, should some day come true. Would there not always be other competitions of one sort or another? Two men, for instance, love the same woman. Both can’t win her. > Don’t Forget The Contest With Your- self, Contests and competitions are part of the warp and woof of life. Never- theless it is possible to give them too great a power over one. We need to remember that the competi- tion with ourselves is just as import- ant as the competition with others In other words, if we thought more of the game and less of the prize, life would hold fewer disap- pointments for us. Both sides could not win the prize, but both could have the supreme satisfaction of hav- ing played the game squarely and to the best of their ability. And isa't that satisfaction one of the few real realities of life? 7 Co you see a admire its the program to the two hours of fined and entertaining attractions.)
