News for Theater Goers and Women Readers By ADELE GARRISON “Will my baby die, doctor?” The woman from across the hall knelt by Lilllan Gale’s side, I had seen her look with aversion at Lil- lian’s rouge and dyed hair as she rushed in. She had held out her arms for the child, but Dr. Pettit had pre- vented the baby from being disturbed, by an authoritative gesture. “I do not know, ” the young phy- sicilan answered gravely. “I hope not, but I have only just this minute ar- Tived.” The father broke in excitedly at this juncture. “Susie, what did you mean by bringing the baby into another apart- ment? Why did vou not telephone for Dr. Matthews, and to the theatre? You had our number. I gave it to you before you went out.” “Oh, I did, sir. He didn't take sick but a few minutes ago—stiffened out like this. The said Dr. Matthews went out of town today, and I thought ‘the baby was going to die. Oh, dear! Onh, dear-” Dr. Pettit straightened himself to his full height. “Sir,”” he addressed the baby's her. “if it had not been for the prompt action of some one in this room, your child would not be living It has had a very severe con- vulsion. The hot water immersion given promptly hag saved its life for the time. If you wish another phy- sician, please call one at once. It is my duty to tell you, however, that your baby needs skilled medical at- tention right away, and I will not leave it until another physician ar- rives. If the baby had not been in such é@anger I would have enjoyed seeing the man from the other apartment quiet down. He was like a strutting turkey cock that has just received a douche of cold water. “We do not wish to call any one else doctor,” he said, humbl Matthews is our family phy He is out of town, and we know no one else.” " “Very well, then, T will take the case till your family physician returns. First we must get the child into its own bed, I must examine it.” ‘Wanted—Mrs. Underwood. Mrs. Underwood rose, so carefully us not to disturb the baby in her arms. Both father and mother rushed | those awful thaings and I was able to help her. The mother is no good at all, one of those emotional women whose ideas of taking care of her baby is to shriek over it.” Her voice held no contempt, only a | great weariness. I felt a sudden rush of sympathetic liking for this woman, whom I 'had looked upon as an ene- my. What Dicky Said. “What can I get you, Mrs. Under- wood?” I asked. “You look so worn out.” “If Katie coffee,” she returned practically, us warm it up.” I felt a foolish litle thrill of house- wifely pride. A few minutes before her appearance T had gone into the | kitchen and made fresh coffee, antici- | pating her return. Katie, of course, I ad sent to bed after she had cleared the table and washed the silver. I had told 'ner to pile the dishes for the morning. “I have fresh coffee all ready,” said, “I thought perhaps vou like a c ;g Harry Underwood sprang to his feet, 'l carry the tray for you.” I thought I detected a little quiver of pain on Mrs. Underwood’s face. Her husgband had expressed no concern for her, but was offering to carry my tray Truly the tables were turning, I had suffered because of the rumors I hail heard concerning this woman’s regard for Dicky. Was I without meaning it, to cause her annoyance? “Indeed, you will do no such thing.” L spoke playfully to hide my real in- dignation at the man. “Dicky is the only accredited waiter around this house.” “Card from the waiters’ union right in my pocket.” Dicky grinned, and stretched lazily as he followed me to the kitchen. We served the coffee, and Lillian and her husband went home. As the door closed behind them Dicky came over to me and took me in his arms. “Pretty exciting evening, wasn't it, sweetheart?”” he d. “I'm afraid you are all done out. He drew me to our chair and sat down together. I found myself crying, something I almost never do. Dicky smoothed my hair tenderly, lently, until T wiped my eyes. Then his clasp tightened around me. “Tonight taught me a he s “Sometimes T have dreamec of a little child of our own, Madge has not thrown out that “let T might .

The mother, evidently forgetting \\nr aisapproval of Mrs. Underwood’s ap- pearance, began to cry hysterically, and tried to embrace her. But Lillian, cbeying the physician’'s orders, was already at the door of our apartment. “Stop it,” she said, roughly, but kindly. “Show me where the baby’s bed is, and if you want me to I \vill stay until you can get a nurse here.” The father neard her words. “Do you wish a nurse, doctor?” “I think it would be advisable for a day or two at least until we see what the developments are.” “Do you know of any? one we had is ill.” Dr. Pettit wrote something swiftly | | | T don’t- The PARSONS’ HEATRE—Hartford ¥ Tonight at 5 ' Mme.

Ask for Miss Sutton. 1f sae cannot come, any one from the same apari- ment will do.” He turned and walked swiftly into the other apartment. Harry Underwood reached out fhis hand for the card. “We'll do all the telephoning from here,” he said kindly. “Go on to your haby-" “And if there is anything vou nced in our apartment, or anything we can do, just call on us,” Dicky said heartily I picked up the hot water bag which I had prepared for the baby and whaich Lillian had dropped as she carried the child into the other room. “Will you take this into Mrs. Un- derwood? She may need it." “Out of Danger,” “Thank you. Won’t you come over, also, Mrs. " He hesitated. “Graham,” T supplied. “No, I should only be in the way, I think. I have never seen a baby ill before. But if you should need me for anything, do not hesitate to call me.” He hurried out and I sank into a chair, overcome by the events of the evening. But for the presence of the foot bath of hot water, which Katie was even now 1emoving, there was nothing to indicate that our little sup- per party had been disturbed., And yet Death had hovered so closely over the little baby which ha dbeen rushed in- to our apartment that we could almost feel his tangible presence. “Done out, old girl?” Dicky beside me, Harry Underwood was at the tele- phone, getting the number Dr. Petitt had asked for. “No, only terribly worried about the baby-" “I know. Tough, isn’t it?" It seemed a week, but it was in real- ity only two hours later when Lillian Gale appeared, heavy eyed and dishev- elled, her gown splashed with water, her rouge rubbed off in spots, her whole appearance most disreputable. “The baby?” we all asked at once. “Out of any immediate danger, the doctor says. The nurse came an hour ago, but the child had two more of stood | just then how his arm on my shoulder. | But I would rather never have a child than go through the suffering thore poor devils had tonight. It must be awful to lose a baby.” I hid my face in his shoulder. Not even Lo my husband could I confe: the touch of the naked child had sent a thrill of longing through me for a baby's hands that rigid little body of that other woman'’s should be mine. | Menu for Tomorrow v | Brcal‘l'ast Fruit Broiled Bacon Baked Potatoes Parkerhouse Rolls Coffee Lunch arley Broth Baked Apple Patties Cookies Tea Dinner, Turtle Bean Soup Roast: Pork Baked Cabbage Pickled Beets Celery Mayonnaise Wafers Cheese Orange Meringue Pie Coffee Baked Apple Patties—Take from the bread dough, when ready to mold into loaves, as much as would make ¢ne small “brick” loaf.

HIS LAST DOLLAR FEATURE AT KEENEY'S | Frohman's picturization of the famous play, “His Last Dollar,” will be the big feature of the photo play program at Keeney's tonight and to- morrow. In the production David | Higgins, who created the leading role, will be seen in the part which he rlayed on the legitimate stage for many vears. Wednesday and Thurs- day Charlotte Walker /will be seen in the Lasky play, “Kindling.” It is a great emotional drama from the pen of Charles Kenyon, The Big Four contribution this week will be: “The Crimson Wing.” featuring E. H. Calvert, which will be shown on Thursday and Friday. This play is a war romance and is shown in six parts. Friday and Saturday,, the Paramount company will present Violet Heming in “The Running Fight.” ‘Whitney's Dolls will top the vaude- ville program. This act is a big musi- | cal comedy with pretty girls and claborate scenery. Charles Barney and company will present the dra matic sKeteh, “His Last Drink.” There will be two other good acts. | “HELP WANTED” AT POLI'S THIS WEEK “Help Wanted,” Jack Lait's drama, in which the Poli Players will appear this week, opening with today’s mati- nee, tells a wholesome lesson. Mr. | Lait based his play upon truths that were disclosed investigations in some of the larger cities. The scene of the play is lald in what is described as “a modern business office,” presided over by a man of wealth and social | position, who has a weakness for pret- | ty women. A ‘“help wanted” adver-' tisement in a newspaper brings a pretty young girl to his office to ap- ply for the place of stenographer. Mr. Scott, the business man, is struck by ' her beauty and her youth. He lays his plans, just as he has many times before, but the timely interference of his son saves the g The author says that his character of the business man might be one of hundreds about the country and that his entire story is based upon what investigations have proven to have occurred in many offices. The force of the play lies in its situations and its theme “Help Wanted" an indictment against immoral business men and a to girls iplaced in a position similar to the one which faced Ger- trude Meyer after she became Scott's stenographer. Clergymen have der clared that Mr. Lait has performed a great public service in presenting the play and they have urged work- ing girls and their mothers to see it. The production made a hit in New York and other large cities and it is now reduced for stock production, the Poli Players being among the first in the United States to present it at popular prices. in is lesson or | percorns and cook for an hour longer. ! “OVER THE WIRE” | By DOROTHY CLARKE I met Marjorie’s sister as I hurryine home, yesterday ...

Sonata in B minor mix | PADEREWSKI WILL PLAY IN HARTFORD Paderewski will make one of his rare visits to Hartford next Wednesday evening, December 1st, when he will give a recital in Foot Guard hall. He is' starting now on a considerable tour under the management of Mr- Ellis and it promises to be the old ofttold story of huge and wildly enthusiastic audiences wherever he may play. The history of music contains no parallel to the triumphs chat this extraordin- ary man has had in Europe and Am- l erica. For over a quarter of a cen- tury now-—close on to thirty years— he has been a unique figure in the world of music—an almost unusual figure in the worla of intellect. This Vvear his appeal to the affection and sympathy of his public is stronger than ever for he is playving under a tre- mendous strain caused by the condi- tion in which his native country, Po- land, finds itself. A most ardent pa- triot, Paderewski has taken deeply to heart the ditress of his fellowcoun- practically since the war began 1 ian armies fi entered Poland their way to Ga- licia, he has worked unceasingly in the effort to raise funds to relieve the wide-spread distress. A comsiderable part of his private fortune vanished with the sack of Poland, while a very large part of the remainder he has given to the relief funds and he has been instrumental in raising thou- sands of dollars from other people. The condition of Poland is veritably an ever-present night-mare to him and he lives under this unceasing strain. Tt is possible that the whole result of this has been to make his art richer and more beautiful than it was before. At any rate, those who have heard him play this year v that never have his trymen and | performances seemed so charged with intense emotion. The sale of tickels which has been in progress at Watkins Bros. indicates that his hold on Hartford is as firm as ever and that a typical Paderewski audience will listen to his playing. The program he has arranged for the con- cert is one of great interest. It is os follows: I.Sonata, Op. 5 Allegro con brio Agagio molto Allegretto moderato Prestissimo Impromptu, Beethoven 1 . Schubert Liszt Op. 1V. (a) Ballade in F major (b) Impromptu in F-sharp major (c) Two Mazurkas (d) Two Etudes o Chopin (b) KEtude in C major (c) Va .

Easy Going People And Hard Going People. lady, restlessly, about said There's e going people who take life in a pleasant, happy-go-lucky way and let other people do the worrying —and quite often the work. And on the other side, there's peo- ple who make hard work of life, who carry yesterday’'s and today's and tomorrow’s burdens on their shoul- ders and darken the day with their groanings that can be uttered. Would they could not! There's people who are bright and amusing and intensely alive, but who become wearing because of this very intensity, after awhile. And then there are people who are 80 quiet and generally negative that they are never wearing—and also never interesting. There's people who will do angs thing in the world for you, but who want to take their payment in man- aging your affairs, And there's people who would never think of trying to manage your affairs or of helping you either. The Last By Which The New Is Tried And—— There are people who never can see the good in anything mnew, who never want to try any experiments. And at the other extreme are peo- ple who feel sure that any new scheme must be better than the exist- ing order of things. The world is a big place and full of many kinds of peopler Of course it would be fine if there were moré people who were in the golden mean between extremes. But at least it's a comforting thought that people aren’t all alike, especially when one has just been exasperated by one type of fault.
