BRITAIN. DAILY 'HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 2), 1915, l — REVELATIONSOF A WIFE By ADELE Bad news Dicky ? We were seated at the breakfast table, Dicky and I, the morning after our trip to Marvin, from which I had returned weary of body and sick of mind. Tacitly we had avoided all discussion of Grace Draper, the beau- tiful girl Dicky had discovered there i and engaged as a model for his draw- ings, promising to help her with her art studies. Btu because of my feeling toward Dicky’s plans breakfast had been a formal affair. Then had come a special delivery letter for Dicky. He had read it twice, and was turning back for a third perusal when my query made | him raise his eyes. “In a way, yes,” he said slowly | Then after a pause, “Read it.”” e held out the letter. It was postmarked Detroit. The writing reminded me of my mother; it was the hand of a woman of the older generation. “My darling son,” it hegan. “Edwin has just decided to go over to the other side to help in the relief work. The wealthy men who are sending a corps of physicians and nur- ses from here are insisting that -he must head the expedition. Of course, Harriet will not let him go without her. You know Richard.

And of course T know that you would not allow me to do it even if I dared try the experiment. I never have seen your wife, but from what you have written me T am sure she is a very sensible woman, and that we shall get on very well to- gether.

T knew that Dick’s mother and sis- ters had spoiled him terribly when they all had a home together before Dick’s father died.

I knew and that Dicky’s mother and sisters disap- proved of his marriage to me. n one of Dicky’s careless confidences T had gleaned that his mother's choice for him had been made long ago, and the marrying a friend of his sister. 1 felt as if T were in a trap. have to live and treat with daugh- terly deference a woman whom T knew so disliked me that she refused to attend her son’s wedding was un- thinkable. On the other hand, T knew that there was no other way out of it. I could no more refuse to receive Dicky's mother than T could have de- serted my own. Ph to Mask Feeling.

But the cutting little remark, “T room in the same house for a daugh- ter-in-law and a mother-in-law,” rankled even after T had composed myself to speak calmly to Dicky con- cerning the letter. T had no doubt which of us wonld be forced out of the house if there ever came a clash between us. T never could come between Dicky and his mother. T would not do it even if T could.

In the picture, it is made of fawn colored broadcloth with trimming of blue fox fur. It is a very beautiful cos- tume and a very smart one, and it also may be added that it is a very simple one and easy to make, for the coat consists of only a blouse to which the circular eplum is attached. The skirt is made in two pieces and is semi-circular in shaping. No garments could be easier to handle and it would be impossible to find anything smarter or handsomer in effect. Asa matter of course, the costume could be copied in a great many different} materials, in velvet or in velveteen, in silk} and in satin and in the satin-cloth as well as in plain broadcloth and atso in the rough-finished suiting materials that are such favorites with the younger con- tingent.

His transitory flight from the honorable young chemist to the grief-stricken, half mad drunkard, was a masterly piece of acting’ and The Hamilton Spectator last week writing about “Too Many Cooks, said ‘‘Alfred Cross was particularly good as Albert Bennett and his com- edy playing was grisp, natural and wholly enjoyvable. That the papers of the Canadian city agreed on “Mr. Cross” rendition of his role in “Under Cover‘ in which he opens his engage- ment on Xmas afternoon at the L. ceum theater, can be proved by the following extracts from the Dominion cities leading journals. The Specta- tor said “Alfred Cross as Stephen Denley” of the U. S. Secret Service had the big role of the play.” while “ The Herald” stated that Alfred Cross as ‘‘Stephen Denley,” gave a powerful interpretation. This popu- lar young leading’ man with the ut- most care goes on week after week running the gamut of drama and farce.” BIG ATTRACTIONS AT PARSONS’ THIS WEEK Dwight Elmendorf will appear at the Parsons Theater this evening under the auspices of the Hartford Grade Teachers’ club, and deliver his illustrated lecture on “Norway, ' the Land of the Midnight Sun.” Mr. Elmendorf secured many beautiful views of that strange and picturesque country, which he has colored him- self, and he will also show a series of motion pictures. one of which de- | picts a whale hunt, with the actual capture of a whale.
