(They made me forget the rearrangement cf my personal belongings which I room to Dicky’s mother. She had Just” bluntly uttered them, and had prefaced them with the remark that Dicky should have been the one 'to give up his room for his mother’s comfort. H She had left the room before I | could reprove her. To tell the truth {1 did not feel like criticising her. I was too busy asking myself the ques- tion which she had answered in the affirmative. Was I “too easy” with Dicky? During the few weeks of our mar- riage I had learned , that life with Dicky would have to be a series of compromijses. Our lideas and ideals were as far apart as the poles. We had had many unpleasant clashes. I asked myself again as I had many times before, why we could not get along better together? ‘Was I “too easy ” -Or, on the $'her hand, had I not deferred enough to Dicky’s whims? separation would be the only logical isgue if we kept on in the way we were going. - That -thought terrified me. No matter. how Dicky and I differed, he was my husband, my own man, and I loved him. I could not help Tesenting his ‘selfish attitude in the matter of the room, but he had yielded to. my wishes in some of the things we had quarrelled over, It was a small thing to do, I told myself, to give up my room for a few months. Womanlike, T hegan to re- gret the cutting words I had used to Dicky when I told him T would resign my room to his mother. After all, Dicky needed a place to himself more than .I: He was an artist, tempera- wental, -high-strung. His work made him -intensely 'nervous. -He: really cught to have a nook all to himself from which he could bar out every- body any time.he wished to do so. {‘He has his; studio. You: have no placeiatiall? & ] The little devil that I can always depend upon to put some irritating thought into my mind whispered thése words into my ear. But I paid no heed to him. Instead I rose, and going to the door, called Katie. ‘“Will you help me get this trunk into the dining room?” I asked when che had hurried into the room at my summons. “Sure.” Going to the trunk, started to lift it herself. "Stop, Katie,” I said, horrified, for the trunk was heavy. “I asked you to help me, not to do it all yourself. Wait, I will take the trays out and lay them on the bed and then we can get it in easily.” The trunk was one I had owned ‘n my teaching days. A quilted cushion pad covered its top. held in rlace by tiny tacks. Over the whole I had thrown ' a ' cover of gayly fiowered chintz. Two or three pillows covered with the same chintz trans- formed the trunk into an attractive seat. I knew that with the advent Dicky’'s mother I should practically have to live in my trunk. So I de- termined to put it in the dining room under one of the windows where, it could masquerade as a window seat. Katie lifted the trays to the bed, then we carried the trunk to place I had selccted in the dining room. T put the trays in place, closed the ‘runk, then carelessly threw over the ‘top' my chintz cover. But I as quickly snatched it off again. The groundwork of the chintz was blue, of a hue that jarred when contrasted with the green of the din- ing room. terial for ‘another cover and pillow tops. she A Brave Clash, Katie stared open-mouthed cover which I had thrown chair. “The color of this cover doesn’t look well with the color of the dining room walls,” I explained patiently. “I shall have to buy and make new ones.” Katie sniffed. “Too much work, too much worry, too much money, just because one old woman come,” she said. “Katie!” My voice must have been harsher than I knew, for Katie fairly jumped as she heard it. “Don’t ever speak that way of Mr. mother again.” Katie tossed her head. Her cheeks flushed. I knew that she was angry. “Maybe you no want me to stay till | she comes,” she said maliciously. I know that she realized just what a predicament she would leave me in if she went away before I had pre- at the over a POLI'S THEATER, Hartford Week.

But I had seen the quick tears | { little fit of temper would quickly sub- side. I turned toward my room to see Dicky standing just inside the | outer door smiling at me.

'I knew also that he had returned in a good humor, instead of the angry mood in | left the breakfast tal meet his attitude with which he had T resolved to one as kindly. “Aren’t you ing Tom’ at domestic tragedies?” I asked gay “But now that you are here, won’t you have a cup of tea with me before I go shopping? Tl ,speak to Katie.” “You won't speak to anyone but me,” he said tenderly, as he caught me in his arms. “You won’t have to | go shopping, at any rate for any ! changes in the apartment. I know I was a selfish brute this morning, but why. under heaven do you take that high and mighty martyr-tone with me when we have any discussion? Tt drives me nutty.” | He gave me a tender little shake, { then drew me closer to him. “Mother will take my room,” he said. “It's larger than yours, So some of my traps can stay in it. She’ll be glad to have them. Then there’s that hall closet. I see there’s practically nothing in it. I can hang all my clothes in there.” “You will do no such thing,” T flashed indignantly. “Truly, Dicky, T den’t mind about the room, and I am . awfully sorry I was so horrid this | morning.” i “Oh, I'll forgive you,” {with meek grandiloquence. “But | you’re not going to give up your room ! to mother because you are going to share it with me.” I stared at him in amazement. Only two hours before he had been insisting upon his own room and his own bed. He flushed a trifle at my look. “I guess we're not so pampered that we can't live as the majority of | people do,” he said. “Of course, T'll ! get the couch-bed for the | room, anyway. It will come in handy 'if any one should be ill. But you won’t seriously mind sharing vyour ,room with me, will you, Madge?” | “Not very much,” I replied happily. I did mind, but I would not mar Dicky’s enjoyment of his own self- | sacrifice. He evidently quite fancied | himself in the role of the martyr. Be- sides we had weathered another ! threatened quarrel. I thanked my } stars for that. | DOUBLE BILL SCORES AT POLI'S THEATER The introduction of Robert P. Gleckler as the new leading man of the Poli Players and the double holi- day bill has served to draw crowds to Poli’'s theater at each performauce ! this week when theatrical managers . looked for one of the poorest business | weeks of the year. Mr. Glecker has jumped into popularity with the theatergoers who have already seen him and it is the consensus that he is one of the most accomplished actors that Mr. Poli has introduced to his local theatergoers. “The Blindness of Virtue,” which is the afternoon at- traction, closes its run tomorrow aft- ernoon when the final opportunity will : be given to see this remarkable moral | play. On Saturday afternoon the Players will present “Fine Feathers,” the play in which they have been ap- pearing every evening this week. Those who have witnessed both plays this week declare that the final test to which the Players have been put each of them is accomplished and talented. The management announces as | next week’s attraction. *“A Pair of Sixes,” a farce that is still appearing in the $2 theaters with unusual suc- cess. A Christmas tree will be ex- hibited Monday afternoon and eve- ning and Tuesday afternoon when Santa Claus will distribute gifts to the children. | | | KITSON TO OPEN NEW ) | | Prof. James F. Kitson, the popular dancing instructor, announces today that beginning next week he will con- duct a dancing class every Tuesday night at the Bungalow, teaching the waltz, one step. fox trot and other ball room favorites. Prof. Kitson conduct- ed dancing schools in New Britain for thirteen consecutive years, last winter excepted, and during that period gained an enviable reputation as a master of the terpsichorean art- His school at the bungalow is expected to prove popular. Beginners’ class will convene at 7:45 and advanced class at 8:30.

FISKE AT LYCEUM SUNDAY Mrs. Fiske, who was engaged es- pecially by the Edison company to | verpetuate in film her famous imper- | sonation of Becky Sharp, has somc interesting things to say of her ex- perience before the motion picture camera. “The picturing of ‘Vanity Fair’ is cspecially interesting to me,” says Mrs. Fiske, ‘“because of the artistic problems that it presents. Every problem solved in any art means just | £o much advancement, of course. In | the picturing of Thackeray’s novel the | | problems are not of a physical nature —in which direction the makers of pictures seem to have gone as far as is humanly possible—but they are the far more clusive problems of bpre- senting emotions, wit anq satire with- cut the spoken word, “I think that we have accomplished | a great deal in this direction in .the ‘Vanity Tair” picture, and that &nd director, the atmosphere of the time and place has been quite won- | derfully preserved. “Frankly, I believe that the riotion picture, as a medium of ar- | tistic expression, is stil] in its forma- Xti\'c state.

Its possibilities reach beyond .the boun- | daries of the imagination. That is why it is so fascinating to the artist. It is a new road, pressing further.and further through a wilderness of gerat possibilities and at every step one is likely to meet with some new and delightful artistic adventure.” “The Little Tease” and ‘‘The Diving Girl” are the other features. {LYCEUM PLAYERS' CLEVER SECOND MAN When on Christmas afternoon Al- fred Cross opens at the Lyceum thea- ter in “Under Cover”, by Roi Cooper | Megrue, the cast will contain a young man of remarkable personality in the general make-up of Ralph Collier the clever second man of the organization. Mr. Colller graduated from the Am- | erican Academy of Dramatic Arts, | then followed engagements in ‘“The Butterfly on the Wheel,” Mt. Vernon Stock company, etc. Last season Mr. Collier was with George Nash in “The Three of Hearts” at the Astor theater. Then he went to Salt Lake City for the summer season, where he played all of the second business in a remarkably fine compa “COUSIN LUCY” AT PARSONS’ CHRISTMAS Hardly a better. Christmas attrac- tion could have been selected for the Parsons theater than that of Julian Eltinge, one of America’s most ad- mired stars, in his latest musical com- edy success, “Cousin Lucy.” It is de- i clared to be the best vehicle that Mr. Eltinge has ever had; and that is say- ing a good deal, as A. H. Woods has always provided a sure-fire hit for this unique entertainment. The company numbers thirty-five people, including Dallas Welford, Jane Oaker, Mrs. Stuart Robson, Austin Webb, Mack Smith, Edith Hanbury and players of such calibre. The producer has spared no expense in mounting the play. The costumes alone represent a money outlay of $25,000. The seat sale is now in progress for this en- gagement. If a meal is not well cooked and attractively served, there is a chance that effort and money is wasted. as no family will relish the food, and, even if eaten, it will not be so nourishing.

One tea-gown, in particular, I certainly will have to have copied for me—it was called “Moonlight.”” The foundation of . this or Theater Goers and Women Readers gown was a long, clinging slip or robe of silver cloth weighted in the hem to confine it around the feet; it was bought in at the waistline by a rope of jade beads that clasped and hung down the front. The over drapery hung short in front, but end- ed in a train in back; it was open over the arms, merely being caught at intervals by ornaments of moon- stones surrounded by rhinestones. The drapery was of midnight-blue creped chiffon over violet chiffon. The color effect was exquisite ,of the moon veiled by clouds.

Cream of Carrot Soup—Scrape four large carrots and grate them; add one pint of boiling water and one small onion, sliced, and simmer for half an hour, then press through a sieve. In the meantime scald one pint of milk and thicken with one tablespoonful of butter and two tablespoonfuls of flour rubbed together to a paste. Add the pulped carrot, season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for five minutes. ALL SIGNS POINT TO SUCCESSFUL SEASON Manager Lynch of the Lyceum has used every effort to make the produc- tion of “Under Cover” a success for its opening here Christmas day. It will have the atmosphere it requires and be played by a competent company. The members of the company came together on Saturday and on Monday evening every member was well versed in his or her part, assuring good performances on Monday, Which should go far toward establishing the same large business the early part of the week as the stock company at the Lyceum in their most prosperous times enjoved he latter part of weeks recess of a play. All signs point to- ward a remarkably prosperous season for the Lyceum. All is in readiness for the opening performance and it will be a wonderful disappointment if the company of 1916 doesn’t make 2 great record.

IDE ® RUTH ¢ m— TALKS CAMERIN = Her Terrible Mistake { “Listen, wife. “All right,” “Hurry!” ) And they ran. When I caught up {with them, she was panting and he { was laughing derisively. “There isn’t 'a car within a mile of us,” he sneered. The noise which she took for a car had been the rumbling of a big auto- | truck. Wasn't that a ridiculous and un- necessary and disagreeable thing for her to do? You don’t see anything so ridicu- lous or so unnecessary or disagree able about it? You think it was just a mistake? Well, so did I, but I was adopting the husband’s point of view and try- ing to translate his derisive laugh. Funny, Isn’t It, How We Let Our- selves Get Irritable? It's queer, isn’t it, how easily people get into the habit of being irritable about little things like that? I know a man whose wife suffers from the nervous habit of saying just the opposite of what she intends to say. ‘When she means to say hot she is likely to say cool. When she starts to say she bought some meat from the butcher she will often say from the grocer. She usually calls children by each other’s hames. casionally this makes it difficult I hear a car,” sald the said the husband. | | Oc- dinary interest and although the theatrical business is naturally qull during the week preceding Christmas there should be capacity houses on both days the picture is to be shown. Another feature for tonight is Mary Pickford in ‘“Rags.” and dramatic sensations of the ' day, with Pauline Frederick in' the lead, will be shown at the theater Friday and Saturday. The management announced today that it has closed a contract by which the Keeney theater will be able to her | “Sold,” ome-of the greatest literary | understand what she means, but nine times out of ten the context makes her meaning perfectly plain. The rest of the family use their brains to find out what she means, and answer ac- cordingly, but whenever she makes one of these mistakes in talking to her husband, he immediataly picks her up on it and either complains irritably or laughs derisively. One of the Greatest Happiness Destroyers. I think this habit of being an- noyed at little slips and mistakes, of being always ready to pounce upon them and to upbraid those who are responsible, is one of the greatest happiness destroyers in the world. And, like most happiness destroy- | ers, it is entirely unsocessary. A change in the attitude of mind is all that is necessary to get rid of this waste of happiness. Make up | your mind that instead of !'ell.l“llll your housemates’ mistakes and care- lessnessesand slipsand occasional fail- ;ures«n foresight as something to be pounced upon and fussed over, you 11 take them calmly and give the rbearance you would like for your- self. If your housemates do not instific- tively understand and respond, tell them what you are trying to do and ask a like forbearance. Then if you don’t enjoy the atmos- phere of peace and goodwill that re to | sults, go back to the old way.
