The spring flowers in the old earthern jar which Dicky 'ndad brought from the kitchen in spite of my protests, really were very pretty in the center of the table. The piles of sandwiches which I had made looked extremely appetiz- ing, flanked as they were with dishes You Lillian and I had prepared much pains. Dicky stood at the head of the table, the chafing dish before him. It was connected to, one of the electric light sockets, and the water beneath the blazer was bubbling merrily. He held in his hand a large spoon, with which he was stirring some butter which he had put into the blazer. At his right, little Mrs. Lester with so watched the proceedings with much interest. Next to her Harry Under- wood lolled indolently against the table, I came next, not having been able to escape from this arrangement of seats any more than I had from | his companionship during the evening. Mr. Lester sat upon my other - side, while Mrs. Underwood, between Mr. Lester and Dicky, completed the cir- cle. “Hush!” Harry Underwood lifted his hand. “We forget that Dicky can only cook these oysters properly when there is complete harmony in the cir- cle. Who will lead in prayer?” I suppose my face reflected the dis- \aste I felt for his remark. Anything approaching irreverence displeases mo intensely, for Lillian Gale quickly came to the rescue. “Shut up, Harry,” she said forcibly, it’s inelegantly “Mrs. Graham isn’t used to that barroom brand of conversa- tion you are handing out.” “All right, sweetie,”” her husband grinned provokingly at her across the table.

I touched the bell with a feeling of nervousnoss [ could not conquer. T was afraid something might have hap- pened to the oyster juice, but more than anything else I feared that Katie might do, or say when she c¢ame into the room and saw Frank Lester. She had promised to control herself, hut 1 knew her impulsive temperament, and I trembled as I heard her foot- steps. As she came into the room, Mrs. Underwood asked Mrs. Lester something about her baby, thus di- verting her attention. I stole a glance at Frank Lester. He was bantering Dicky, seemingly oblivious to Katie's presence, but I noticed that his face w red. ‘Will you bring the oyster please, Katie?” T said quietly. I was proud of Kate in that moment | Not a flicker of an eyelash, not a | glance betrayed anything but the cor- rect attitude of a well trained maid. She vanished without a word and re- turned in a moment bearing the bowl of oyster juice. ““Ah-h!” Harry Jnderwood heaved a deep sigh. “The’ country is saved. Dicky, I warn you that if you don’t pull that oyster stunt pretty soon I shall begin on Mrs. Lester.” Nobody paid any attention to him. however for Dicky had added the lem- on juice to the butter, and was stir- ring it with the air of a Druid per- i forming one of his rites. He finished the blending and then picked up the bowl of oyster juice and poured its contents slowly into the mixture already in the chafing dish, stirring carefully as he did so. ‘When he had stirred it to his own satisfaction, and it was bubbling, he relaxed his intent look, and turning to us, said: “Who was kicking about the red pepper? Do you really think I had too much in the last time " “That was only Harry, Dicky,” Lil- “Fix it up the way you always do, only hurry, for we are all starving.” “Why don’t you begin on the sand- wiches, then?’ ““No, Dickybird,” Lillian returned with an affected air of martyrdom “‘Not a morsel shall pass our parched lips until you are ready to eat too Perhaps that will hurry him up a bit,” she added with a wink to the rest of us. A"Y‘nend_v in a minute, now,” said Dicky encouragingly, putting in the oysters after he had carefully seasoned the mixture in the chafirg dish with salt, black pepper, paprika, and just a dash of cayenne, ‘“Are the hot dishes ready, Madge?" . Madge's “Rarebit Martyrdom’ I touched the bell again for Katice and at a signal from me she brought the hot soup plates, the only suitable dishes T had in the apartment, and placed them before Dicky.

I had never eaten oysters prepared anner, and I had to admit that Dic was justified in his boasts to me of his culinary prowess. They were delicious, and the plates twere quickly emptied. “More,” said Harry Underwood la- up his plate. “Down in front, Oliver Twist,” re- turned Dicky- ‘Don’t you know my rule yet? Only oue helping of oysters for otherwise you wouldn't enjoy the rarebit. You will observe that the chafing dish is going. But it will be re- turned again presently, and vou can put in your time at those sandwiches, if anybody takes too many of ’em, I'll take the plates away.” “Stingy, stingy,” mocked little Mrs. Lester. ‘Still the rarbit is worth it. T never used to like them until T ate Mr. Graham’s.” Katie had removed the chafing dish and now she brought it back again and connected it with the electric light socket.

I had thought that to grip an audience, to melt it to tears with pathos, to thrill it with high heroic sentiment, required the spoken word and the magic of the human voice. “‘“The Birth of a nation’ disproves ithis theory. Her a war play, the like of which never has been present- ed on any stage before, that played upon the heart as upon a harp of a thousand strings; that worked the audience up into a perfect frenzy; that mingled pathos and humor, trag- edy and glory; at which people wept and laughed, and yet not one word was spoken on the stage.” Seats for the week’s engagement are now selling at the Fox theater box of- fice, which is open from 9 a. m. to 9:30 p. m.

I never realized before what a wonderful thing water was. In fact I don’t sup- pose I ever gave it a thought. I had to go a hundred and forty miles into the desert to find out that good, fresh water, a thing I'd alw; taken for granted before, was really something to be pretty thankful for.’ You've Got to Take Some Things for Granted. Of course it is inevitable that we should take things for granted most of the time. You can’'t be thankful for all the good things of life all the time. But can’'t we stop once in a while and remember to be thankful for some of the accustomed things of life? This man’'s experience in the desert threw him forcibly into a new rela- tionship with one of the accustomedl things and he saw it from a new angle. --—-D > E T MAUD ALLAN PLAYS IN KEENEY FEATURE Maul Allan, the international dan- suese, plays the leading role in the be one of the features of Hindoo , Russwin Lyceumn, of this week. ally, the concerts are limited almost entirely to charitable affairs. Pad- erewski, who is making a tour of this country this season under the direc- tion of C. A. Ellis of Boston, was pe- culiarly hard hit. The disarrangement of his plans for 1914-191 nd his great financial from the war were of least account to him. He had planned to come to America in Jan- uary, 1915, and after thirty concerts to return for the summer to Australia, where he had not been in ten years. The Australian tour was banished with the declaration of war by England, but long before that Paderewski had given up all thought of playing in concert at all. His entire time was being given to helping the millions of suffering Poles who dwell in Prussian, Austrian and Russian Poland, where the war has raged most bitterly. REVIVED COMEDY AT LYCEUM THURSDAY losses A strong minded maid -from the country, connected with York’s ultra-fashioned families, taken on a slumming tour by college boys, forms the unique basis for the plot of | the revived comedy, “The Rejuvena- tion of Aunt Mary,” which May Rob- son will be seen in at the Lyceum, Thanksgiving day, matinee and night. The supporting company includes Jack Story, Paul Decker, Paul Horn- ing, John Rowe, Wiiliam J. Dyer, George F.

The big special for Thanksgiving is perhaps the most sensational film ever shown in New Britain. It is a five Vitagraph biue ribbon feature, Man Who Couldn’t Beat God.” In this picturization Maurice Costello and other eminent stars in the film world are seen in important parts. On that day ‘“The Rugmaker’s Daughter” will again be shown. Other features will be the Essanay western comedy, “It Happened in Snakeville” and a Kleine-Edison star attraction. Friday and Saturday, ‘The Clue” with Blanche Sweet in the lead, will be shown- Werner’s troupe of educated horses tops the vaudeville bill this week. It is a great act and is atracting general attention. There are some other good specialties on the bill. MARY MILES MINTER IN CHARMING PLAY “Emmy of Stork’s Net,”” a five part picturization unfolding a story of the mountains, produced from the novel of the same title by J. Breckenridge Ellis, opens a two-day engagement at Fox’s this afternoon. Not since Mary Miles Minter met with such sweeping success in the title role of “The Lit- tlest Rebel,” in which she starred with William Farnum, has she had a part so well fitted for her bewitching and entrancing personality, as the little mountain girl. Augmenting the Mary Miles Minter feature are the latest chapter of “Neal of the Navy” and several single reel comedies. Miss Josephine Davis, the ragtime melody queen, will sing a new ar- rangement of melodies that will be highly delightful and entertaining. MAY ROBSON AT PARSONS’ THEATER An admirable company will sup- port May Robson in her big revival of “The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary"” at the Parsons theater this afternoon and evening.

The Accustomed Things Such experiences do not often comes but one can accomplish much the same result by an effort of the mind. And today is a good day to make it Suppose We Paid to Look at Sunsets. “If we were charged so much a head for sunsets,” says Stevenson, “or if God sent round a drum before the hawthorn came in flower, what a work we should make about theif beauty.” And again: “The attention which a wood fire demands,” says Charles Dudley Warner, “is one of its best recommendations. We value little that which costs us no trouble to maintain. If we had to keep the sun kindled up and going by private cor- porate action or by act of congress, and to be taxed for the support of customs officers of solar heat, wg should prize it more than we do."” Be Thankful for Your Mother's Love and Tell Her So. The accustomed things of life—sun- shine, flowers, sunsets, a mother's love, friends, books, appetite, the zest for work, sleep—what wonderful, beautiful things they are!
