Be- New or Theater Goers and Women i REVELATIONSOF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON A Busy Morning. It was almost noon when I awoke Monday, the day after our little chafing dish supper. For a moment I could not separate the real events of the ‘night before from the troubled dreams which had filled the hours since I went to bed. ! had dreamed of babies, all long, gruesome visions of dead babies, terrifying dreams of trying to save dying children. “Dicky!” I called his name loudly as I could. To he rose from a my bed. I had not seen him when T awoke. ‘‘Are you still bewildered?” he asked playfully, vet with an anxiousg look. “I was beginning to be afraid you were going to be ill. You've been having nightmares evidently, talking n your sleep of trying to save somo child. I've tried to waken you two or three times, but you wouldn’t budge.” “I remember now,” T said. “The maid from across the hall ran in here as last night with that baby in a «con- vulsion, and Mrs. Underwood had brought it out before the doctor ar- rived, Have you heard this morning how the child 2 “No. Only awoke an hour ago my- zelf. Been watching you since. Do you feel like getting up? Katie has Lreakfast ready, I think, and I ought to be getting over to the studio.” “Oh! Dicky, I's so sorry to have kept you waiting. Run along now, and I” be ready in no time.” “Don’t hurry. There’s no life and death matter waiting.” T slipped on a negligee and break- fast cap, stocki and Japanese house_slippers, bathed my face and hands and came out to the breakfast table. I did not feel comfortable, for i always tub and dress completely before breakfast, but I did not wish to keep Dicky any longer. The Baby Better. ““You ought to wear that rig oftener Madge.” Dicky’s tone was admiring. “You look ripping in it.” “I'm glad you like it. ribly sloppy in it.” Katie brought in the things, her face beaming. “Dot bhaby, him better.” “That's good,” Dicky said. “How ¢id you know?” He winked slyly at me. “Dot girl, dot Susie, across hall, she bring back hot water bag early dis morning, say much obliged, baby better, tank you. Den she hurry back queeck.” . “Rather discourteous way to treat us, don't you think, dear? T should have thought the mother would have Lrought the bag herself and thanked ug for our trouble.” “Don’'t be such a stickler for the proper thing, Madge. Perhaps she thought you might need the bag. They probably are pretty well upset, you krow.” I did not answer. T did not wish to argue with Dicky, but I had an in- ward conviction that the people across the hall were snobbish and ill-bred. T resolved, however, that a lack of courtesy on their part should not make me forget my own training. I meant to go to the door later in the day, and ask after the baby. By the reception I received I could judge whether I should offer any further courtesies. “Well, good-bye, sweetheart.” Dicky swallowed the last of his coffee hurriedly, hastily—and I feel almost as per- functorily—took his hat and and went to the studio.

T suppose I shall have to ler.” across my surprise But the “woman from i ball” was walking rapidly away, her: face aflame. t | What a Thoughtless Walk Brought ' Madge. 1 T had walked a long way from the door of my apartment before I re- covered from the shock of my neigh- tor's insolence. Of course I realized that she had no idea I could overhear her words v-hen she had said to her maid: “Oh! that woman from across the hall, T :bpose 1 shall have to see her.’ Jpon thinking it over, I wa ashamed of the childish had made me walk away from my neighbor’s door without waiting for the maid to come back with the| grudging invitation to come in. I should have waited in a dignified manner and declined the invitation, saying that I only wished to inquire ; after the baby's welfare—which was the truth. But theinsolent, drawling words had made me so angry that I could not| have controlled my feelings if I had niet the woman who uttered them. To think that this woman whose baby had been brought almost dying into my apartment the night before, | when she was absent, shquld consider it a bore to meet me! Why, if it had not been for the; skill and promptness of Lillian Gale, | and the assistance all of us had given | her, the baby might now be dead! 1 felt that I had read her and her husband correctly the night before ! when I thought them snobbish and ill-bred. “Look out, lady! Why don’t you look where you are going?” A policeman’s hand grasped my | arm and swung me out of the path of an automobile ’bus, I looked around startled. T had been so ab- scrbed in my angry thoughts that T Biad not noticed in the least where T vas walking. Here | was in the mid- dle of Fifth avenue, its many vehicles of all kinds darting up and down! i “Don’t you ever do that again. You ! might have been killed.” I The officer’'s voice held a note of auger, for which I did not blame him. | 1f anything had happened to me, he | probably would have had to bear part of the blame. “Where do you want to go any- way?” he grumbled. Evidently he | Cid not intend to lose sight of me until 1 should be started safely on my way. I searched my brain wildly for an arswer. Where did I want to go? If T should tell this solicitous policeman the truth, “Anywhere, for a walk,” I; felt that he would lpook upon me With suspicion, The sight of another automobile "bus lumbering up the avenue gave me an ir spiration. “T want to take a bus,” I sald. “All right, lady, I'll take you over to it. You want to remember next time that they stop on this side of the street.” “Plenty of Room.” He stil grasped my arm firmly as if he suspected me of an intention to run away from him. I entereq the | bus and sat down. Then I had a sud- den thought, Why not ride outside? It is one of my favorite summer diver- sions, the ride on the top of the big 'bus, although I had .never ridden there in the winter time. But the day was unusually mild, almost like spring although it was January, and I was warmly clad. Indeed I had found my heavy long coat Vvery oppressive in my walk. It would be just the thing for a ride. As 1 paid my fare, I spoke to the ccnductor. “Is there room on the top?” He grinned widely. “Plenty 100m, lady.” When I climbed the winding stairs tc the top, I found his words were orly too true. One man, enveloped | in a big fur coat and smoking vigor- ously, sat in a rear seat. The rest of the seats were empty. A Surprising Meeting. T would have turned and gone down again, but I did not like to face the conductor’s wide grin, so I walked calmly to the front seat of the 'bus, always my favorite when I can get it, ! and settled down to enjoy my ride. | All the world and his wife appeared to be on the avenue. My seat on the front of the 'bus was like a box seat in a theatre. From it I could look dcwn on the people below. I could see beautifully costumed women in automobiles and on foot, and jostling them closely came numbers of other wemen in the cheapest kind of cloth- ing, yvet all of it carefully imitating the costlier attire. No place for real shabbiness on the avenue! Plenty of shoddiness, plenty of cheap imitation, but I did not see a single person whose dress showed real poverty. | of | there, and you ought to have | point, By DOROTHY CLARKI My dear, I am so tired! .... oe How I wish I had been as sensible as you were and not gone to the dance last night!

S —————— e nized him with a queer little sinking feeling at my heart. 1t was Harry Underwood. My dislike of this man was becom- ing almost an obsession. It was not lessened by the unreasoning little fear that crept over me whenever I saw him. Ae he saw me, his face lighted up with a smile which, even in the face of my aversion to him, I had to admit ‘was charming. He took off his hat and bowed to me, then with a swift measuring glance at the distance be- tween him and the door of the om- nibus, started toward it. I had a feeling of panic. Ewvidently he meant to mount the steps of the 'bus and share my ride.

POLI PLAYERS MAKE HIT IN “HELP WANTED" Miss Florine Farr, the clever lead- ing woman of the Poli Players, made another hit yesterday in the first per- formance of the week of “Help Want- ed,” a New York play, in which she portrays the part of & pretty stenog- rapher who nearly falls into the clutches of a middle-aged busines man who tries to take advantage of her innocence. The vehicle is a prob- lem play of a rather light type, which, though it contains much that is sug- gestive contains nothing that is of- fensive and no lines or situations that are used for other than a moral pur- pose. The players carry their roles well ‘and made a hit with the audi- ences yesterday. Uric Acid Poison Undermines Health Rheuma Drives it from the System and Eliminates Rhecumatism. ery since Rheuma has been sold in this vicinity, the sale of this mar- velous rheumatism remedy has been steadily on the increase. This is due to the fact that Rheuma is guaran- tecd to eliminate rhecumatism or money back. It cleanses the system of uric acid poison. .

ST TEA R aders Your Most Important Friend “If a man does not make new acquaintances as he passes through life he will soon find himself left alone. A man should keep his friendships in constant repair.”—Johnson. If we worked as hard to make and hold friends as we do to gain material advantage, how much more some happiness we should probably get out of life. Every once in awhile it comes to me how much of the happiness of life rises from congenial companionship. You go to some function. The col- lation is excellent and the entertain- ment of the best. But you do not meet anyone who counts and you do not have a particularly good time. What a Difference Just a Few Friends Make. A few nights later you are bidden to some affair where the entertain- ment is not elaborate and the party of the simplest. But you meet two or three congenial friends, o0ld or new, at once into a companionable group, you fall into a fine humor of laughter and good talk, wherein, exhilirated by the atmosphere of friendship and appre- ciation, you all rise far above your daily selves, and you go home glow- Ing and alive. And nothing material has made the difference, just friend- ship. What would a jest be without a congenial friend to share it with? “You could read Kant by yourself,” says Stevenson, “‘but you must sha ¢ a joke with someone else.” M)now l Breakfast Fruit Creamed Eggs Lyonnaise Potatoes Coffee Pop Overs Lunch Mince in Timbale Cases Cake nanas Cocoa Dinner Cream of Tomato Soup Beef Cannelon Brown Gravy Sweet Potatoes Corn Fritters Endive French Dressing ‘Wafers Cheese Corn Starch Blanc Mange Coffee Cream of Tomato Soup—Cook to- gether one-half of a can of tomatoes, one clove, one slice of onion, one-half of a teaspoonful of salt, one-half tea- spoonful of peppercorns and one sprig of parsley for twenty minutes, then rub through a sieve and return to the fire.

Good news travels fast,” and the many bad back sufferers in New Eritain are glad to learn where relief may be found. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan’s Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with this tested rem- cdy. Here Is an example worth read- ing: Mrs. Helen, 526 Church St., New ritain, says: ‘““One of my family has found Doan's Kidney Pills good for kidney trouble. There is no better medicine to be had for pains across the small of the back; it always brings relief. It is a pleasure for me to recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills.” Price 50c at all dealers.

How much pleasure is it to go to the theater alone? “I think I en- joyed talking that play over with you more than I did attending it,” a wom- an said to me the other day. “You see I had to go alone and there was no one to compare notes with.” What would a success be without ag friend to tell it to? All joys are doubled and all sorrows halved by sharing with a true friend. As Johnson says, we should keep our friendships in constant repair, but there is another corollary to the im- portance of friendship that he does not mention. Is Your Husband or Friend ? - In choosing a mate, one should keep one's mind constantly on the enor mous part friendship plays in life and be sure to choose a potential friend. “What nonsense!” says the young person. “As if one would choose a wife or husband with whom one could not be friends. If it only were nonsense! But it isn’t, as the older folks know by sad or glad experience. The possession of a true congeniale friend in a husband or wife is a a blessing that will give all your days, sad days and glad days, a savor and a sweetness that nothing else in the world can impart. Don’t let the mating instinct swerve you from the consideration of this most important point—would he or she be a congenial friend if there were no other attraction between you?
