With her elbow resting on the arm ¢f her chair, her chin cupped in her hand, her whole body leaning toward the warmth of the fire, she sat g: | ing into the leaping flames as if she Were trying to read in them the riddle of the future, 1 patiently waited on her mood. | That she would open her heart to me | further I knew, but I did not wish to disturb her with either word or movement. “I knew you would be like she said at last. *“Almost any woman would have gone off on an emotional tangent over this story of miine, especially when it so con- cerned. hersclf. But you know enough to keep still when you see a situation that no words can help. It's a rare gift, my dear. Cherish it.” My face flushed with pleasure at her words of praise, but my only answer was a low, sincere ‘‘Thank vou,” at which she nodded and fell silent again. ‘I _might this,” other well begin at the be- ginning.” There was a note in her voice that all at once made me see the long years of suffering which had been hers. “Only the beginning is =0 commanplace that it lacks inter- est. It is the record of a very mediocre stenographer with aspira- tions.” That she was speaking of herself her tone told me, but I was genuine- ly surprised. =~ Mrs, Underwood was the last woman in the world one would picture as holding down a stenographer’s position, They Met in Paris, “I can't remember when I didn't have in the back of my brain the idea of learning to draw,” she went on, “but it took years and vears of uphill work and saving to get a chance. I was an orphan, with no- body to care whether I lived or died, and nothing but my own efforts ta depend on. But I stuck to it, work- ing in the daytime and studying evenings and holidays till at last I began to get a foothold, and then when T had enough put by to risk it 1 went to Paris.” Her voice was as matter of fact as if she were describing a visit to the family butcher shop. But I visual- ized the busy, plucky yvears with their reward of Paris as if I had been a often sold anything was the woman Who was so calmly telling me the story of those early hardships. I Knew that the dominant member of that litle group of strugglers, the one who heartened them all, the one who would unhesitatingly go hungry her- self if she thought a comrade needed it, was Lillian Underwood. THIS QUAINT MODEL IS FROM LONDON Thi: cloth, cut with a round yoke, a braided spetator of them. “Of course, by the time I got there I was almost old enough to be the mother, or, at least, the elder sister of most of the boys and girls I met, and I had learned life and experlence in a goad, hard school. Some of the youngsters got the habit of coming to me with all their troubles, fancied or real. 1 made some staunch friends in those days, but never a stauncher, truer one than Dicky Graham. I started in surprise. Dicky told me of his studies in Paris, and of the gay, careless time he spent there, but he had never mentioned Mrs. Underwood as having been one of his circle. As I thought of it, I remembered that Dicky, aside from praising Mrs. Underwood as a ‘“bully good scout,” and characterizing her as ane of his oldest friends, had said very little about her to me. Mrs. Underwood saw the move- ment. She turned and put her hand on mine, smiling half-humorously, half-tenderly. ‘Tell me, dear "girl, when you were teaching those history classes, did any of your boy pupils fall in love with you?” I answered her with rassed little laugh. Her question called up memories of shy glances, gifts of flowers and fruit, boyish con- fidences—all the things which fall to the lot af any teacher of boys “Well, then, you will understand me when I tell you that in the studio days in Paris Dicky imagined himself quite in love with me.” There was something in her tone and manner which took all the sting out of her wards for me. All the jealousy and real concern which I had spent on this old attachment of my husband’s for Mrs. Underwood vanished as T listened to her. She might have been Dicky's mother, speaking of his early and injudicious | fondness for green apples. | “I shall always be proud of the! way I managed Dicky that time.” Her voice still held the amused ma- | ternal note. “It's so easy for an | older woman to spoil a boy's life in ' a case like that if she’s despicable enough to do it. But you see I was | genuinely fond of Dicky, and vet not the least bit in love with him, and I was able, without his guessing it, to keep the management of the affair in my own hands. So when he woke as the boys always do, to the | surdity of the idea, there w: nothing In his recollections of me to epoil our friendship. “For Offense and Defense.” “Then there came the early days of had an embar- York in my line.

New Britain. Nevertheless, this won- | derful drama of detective life will be | presented at th Lycum nxt week, with | all the incidentals that went to make | up the original cast. There will be the dictaphone as originally used hy the celebrated Detective Burns. Then there will be depicted the famous haunt of the counterfeiters and the murderers and all the other details ' that go to make for thrill and realism. “The Argvle Case” is one of the greatest murder mysteries ever pre- sented on the American stage. Tt taken from real life, being the case of millionaire who was murdered for money. 1In its very essentials it all the ear-marks of a mystery and for this reason, even the most analy- tical of minds cannot solve its story until the very last act. There are four acts in the p nd during that | time the audience is kept guessing as to who perpetrated the deed. At the end of each act every person in the audience will draw a different con- clusion. Alfred Cross will play the import: role of the detective. As Asche K ton he will have opportunities never presented to him since his coming to Britain. Mr. Cross has played this part before and will be able to give a production the like of which has seldom been seen in this city As next week marks the farewell ' appearance in New Britain of Mrs. Adelaide Hibbard, the popular char- acter actress of the Alfred Cro: Players, elaborate preparations are | being made to give this star a good send-off. On Tuesday night auto- graph pictures of Mrs. Hibbard will be ' given to all the women who attend the | performance, and on the opening night the society folk plan to give her a | great ovation. She has been given a | great part in “The Argyle Case.” Oth- | ers who will be prominently featured in this cclebrated play are Florence | Hart, Julie Herne, Philip Sheffield, Trederick Smith, Winifred Welling- ton, and Miss Dorothy Munigle.

Every Mother An Adjustment Bureau " t this under the constant strain of the fear of being scolded. Every mother is an adjustment bureau of domestic complaints. The woman at the ad- justment bureau in the big shop has i no sinecure of a position, but she does not have the same nervous strain. To ! be sure, people are sometimes cross to her, but it doesn’t matter so much, be- cause they are not the people she cares about. At the mother's adjustment bureau, on the other hand, the com- plaints are all from those she loves the best and whose disapproval hurts her the most. And mothers, some- how, never get used to being scolded, which, as I have remarked before, is incomprehensible, because they get so much practice in endurance. t | The epitaph over many a tired little mother who folds her weary hands and succumbs to some minor disease might well be “‘She gave daily of her oil the machinery of family had none left to save herself time of need.” T Co vitality to life, and in the THIS FLAPPER WEARS A BECOMING GOWN THE VfiLEDJCTOEIflN Here is a model of a The material with fine val.
