I discovered this fact when Katle, my mald of all work, uttered a frightened little cry at the sight of Mr. Lester coming through the door, and then stood, like a statute of fear, gazing at him. Lillian was standing at my when the Lesters came in. With quick, unobserved whisper to me, “Get Mrs. Lester in your room quickly,” she moved swiftly to Ka- tie’s side, Dicky said afterward that the muttered “Hush! Come with me,” with which Lil propelled Katie to the kitchen, was regular third-act-to-the- rescue stuff. I could not see what she was doing, however, for I was . too busy trying to obey her whaispered in- junction. side a .. It was a hard .task, however. Of course, T had to walt until Dicky had introduced me to both Mr- and Mrs. Lester. As I murmured the conven- tional things and started to escort my guest to my room, Harry Underwood barred the way. “Nay, nay, my child, you do not pass me this way without a word or look that I may cherish,” he said grandil- oquently to my guest. Mrs. Lester dimpled and giggled. “You awful man. I'm not ' going to talk to you at all tonight. Frank says you are a bad man for little girls to know.” “Please unsay them croo-el words,” he burlesqued, and then turned to me, as he saw me trying to draw Mrs. Lester toward my room. “Aha, my proud beauty; vyou do not like to hear me make pretty speeches to another. shall humble your pride yet."” He bowed mockingly, and I reached my own room with Mrs, Lester. As [ crossed the threshold I drew a deep breath of relief. The danger of an unpleasant scene was over. Katle was safe in the Kkitchen, where, if I guaged Mrs. Underwood’s powers cor- rectly, she would soon be reduced to sanity, while my guest all unsuspect- ing, as I hoped, was removing her wraps I ... that hectic past of hers? there must be. “Why don’t you telephone now and satisfy yourself that the baby is all right, and instruct the maid to call you if she sees anything unusual about her " I queried. . “Tell her you are going to telephone every little while. Then she will be sure to keep on the job,” cynically suggested Mrs. Underwood. o w “Oh, that will be just splendia,” chirped Mrs. Lester. “Thank you so much Mrs. Graham, Where is the telephone ?"” “Dicky will get the number for you,” said Mrs. Underwood, ushering her into the living-room, I heard her shrill voice. “Oh, Dicky-bird, please get Mrs. Lester’s apartment for her. She wants to be sure the baby’s all right.” Then I heard a deeper voice. “For heaven’s sake, Daisy, don't make a fool of yourself. The kid's all right.” That was Mr. Lester's voice, of course. Neither the ones of Dicky nor Harry Underwood had the dis- agreeable whining timber of this man’s. Lillian's retort made me smile, was so characteristic of her- ‘“Who unlocked the door of your cage, anyway? Get back in, and if you growl again tonight there will be no supper for you.” As she spoke she hurried back to the door of my room, which I was Jjust leaving. She made an almost imperceptible gesture with her hand, and I obeyed the silent signal, going back into the room with ‘aer. § “I sent her to the telephone be-| cause I wanted a chance to speak to you alone,” she said. “You'll have to settle Katie. She’s crying out there; says she doesn’'t want to wait on ta- ble if ‘Meester Lestairre is dere.’ 1 don’t know but it would be a good idea to send her to bed; say she has a toothache, or anything else conven- ient. We can wait on ourselves; it will be lots more jolly, and avoid any unpleasant possibilities. I wouldn’t want Daisy to suspect anything.

I had to go to a club meeting this afternoon, but I really expected to get away in time to meet you for tea......Lucille was there; she al- ways seems to be wearing something new every time I see her time it was a perfectly charming blouse, made of ivory color satin and Georgette crepe The satin form- ed a deep yoke which was outlined in skunk fur; below this was a full blouse of the crepe The sleeves were also of the crepe, gathered very full and ending in a lace frill... The same kind of lace was used crosswise in the front and for a huge wired collar A band of skunk ran around the neck and continued down each side of the front......

During that time he employed a small army of men and women to get the desired | results. Over eighteen authorities were consulted to get the proper atmos- phere into the scenes in which Pres- ident Abraham Lincoln appears. The great majority of these authoritics agreed that as near as the time of the assassination could be set was 10:13. This calculation is based upon most authentic reports of the hour that John Wilkes Booth entered Ford's theater on the fatal night. It was a brilliant spring night in Washington, but historians record that just before the shooting the temperature fell quite a bit. This detail is covered in the picture when you note President Lincoln change { his position in the box and slip =« warm cape over his shoulders. Another detail in the Ford’s thea- ter scenes fixes definitely the facts of the actual shooting. Contrary to current opinion the president was not shot from the stage. The picture shows the action as it has auther- tically been reported by a majority of the authoritative writers on the subject. OPEN A CHARGE ACCOUNT ter Goers and Women Readers " FOR THANKSGIVING?

Very Few People Tell Downright Lies. However, I have learned a lesson. All is not incredible that sounds s&. One's experience is just as apt to be telling the lie as one’s friend. A great many people exaggerate or smooth things off; comparatively few tell downright lies. When anyone says a thing which seems incredible to you, it may be that your experience is too limited for you to understand it. Or it may be thWt circumstances which appear to con- tradict the statements are false. Ap- pearances are deceitful, and even fig- ures, which should be the most exact and coldblooded things in the world, are said to lle.

With My Letter Friends. Question—Don’t you believe that most people have true love mates and that they generally meet sooner or later, and when'they do meet, if mar- riage should be the result, would not that be the happiest union ever? And don’t you believe that where truo love exists, there is scarcely a sacrifice too great for either one to make fi the other or a fault too bad for one to overlook in the other? Answer—Personally I don’t believe that there is only one true mate for each individual, but rather one type with which each type will be happiest As to faults, love does help a lot; but remember that some people aren’'t ig enough even under the influence of the greatest love they are ‘capable of to overcome their own faults or bear That is what a friend of mine fre- quently says afterwards when she has heard anyone make a statement which seems improbable to her. Whenever I hear her say that, I think of a decision I made when I was a very small girl. I decided a little comrade of mine didn't tell the truth. You see she told me two things that no one could believe. One was that she had twice sat up until half-past eleven. Now the latest I had ever sat up was ten o'clock, and that only SOMETHING NEW iat res o el FOR LYCEUM GOERS Of course, I had grasped the sig- nificance of Katie's frightened cry. I remembered the night she first came to work for me, her terror at sight of Dicky, and her sudden flight. We had brought her back, and Dicky had learned that the reason was in such fear of him was on account of the money he had given her with which to pay @ bill, when she was maid of all ‘Werner's troupe of trained horses will be the vaudeville feature of the program at Keeney's this week.

Among the motion picture attrac- tions tonight and tomorrow will be Charley Chaplin in his latest come- dy, “A Night at the Show There will also be the Edison drama, “A Child in Judgment and other high class photo-plays.

Lasky will contribute “The Clue” with Blanche Sweet on Friday and Saturday. The portions of Ford's theater shown in the story are exact repre- ductions of the surroundings on the | night the president was assissinated. The actual distances were faithfully followed in the scene even to the twelve foot leap which Booth made from the box after firing the fatal shot. All the reproductions for this scene were vouched for by eye wit- nesses of the tragedy, who retain vivid recollections of what happened that night. “Then you know?” I asked. “About Frank persecuting Katie when she worked in the apartment? Of course, I rather suspected it at the time, but I didn’t think he’d carry things far enough so the girl would have to run away for fear of him.

And then she,k turned from the mirror with an appealing little smile. “I'm afraid I shall be very dull to- night.

This girl we have appears very competent, says she is used to babies, but I just can't help being as nervous as a cat.” “Are you still worrying about that baby?”” Mrs. Underwood's loud voice sounded behind us. “Now, look here, Daisy, have a little common sense. You have had that maid over a year; i she has been with your mother and you since the baby was born; there's a telephone at her elbow, and you are only five blocks away from home. ‘Wasn’t the child well when you left?"” “Sleeping just like a kitten,” the proud mother answered. “You Jjust ought to have seen her, one little hand all cuddled up against her face, I just couldn’t bear to leave her."” Over Lilllon Gale's face swept a swift spasm of pain.
