RBRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1918. A STORY YOU CAN BEGIN AT ANY TIMB Her Side---and His Marital Huow Cora and David Temple Solved Their By ZOE BECKLEY Problems Woman and tl;e Personal View Cora Temple sighed. It was indeed a hard problem David put to Jier Few women are pliblic sgirited by nature. Their very position as the mother of the world malkes them instinctively self-protective and protective of thoge who depend on them. ~ It was difficult for Cora to-feel Intimately concerned with the dishonest building code the Rourke outfit-want@d her husband, as architect, to help them put through. d Of course if it did mean, as David insisted, the injury and possible death of the poor tenants of the tenements built under its faulty provisions, it would be a horrible thing to let pass. But would it really mean that? Might not David be mistaken? Might not his knowledge as an architact make him take an exaggerated view of the danger? Even if there was danger, was it David’s duty to go out re- forming the world? There were bound to be wicked people always, no matter how hard good people tried to purify things. Wouldn't it be enough if David just re- fused to have anything to do with the horrid code and set about making his living without the aid of these vile politicians? Wasn't a man’s duty to his wife and to himself and to the present rather than to a vague public and a more or less distant future? Cora was not a selfish woman. But she was tired. Tired of experiments. Tired of jerky ambitions that kept them forever climbing ~ and falling, climbing and falling. She was not a human barnacle, either, clinging unpro- ductively to her hardworking mate. On the contrary, she had offered to help .very actively and substantially. She could not help thinking now, and with a vague impatiense, of the chance to earn $35 a week which had been offered her by the real’ estate man. David would not let her do salaried work for a lving. Yet he kept dragging her through these unpleasant experiences, these heights and depths of financial prosperity—all because he was fanatically ambitious. Cora checked her thoughts, her face flaming with a shamed blush as she suddenly realized the crass selfishness of her reasoning. It was base. It was unworthy of her. “I wouldn’t be one of those women,” she told herself with a mental shalke, “‘who don’t pay their carfare if the conductor misses them. Or holds out her income tax because she ‘doesn’t know anyvthing about laws and hates ‘em anyhow.’ And yvet laws do seem so remote to us women,” she went on with a sigh and a worried frown. “It isn’t David’s business to go trying to reform the building laws while we live on the little surplus of money we managed to save out of the Colony Park wreck. It isn’t fair. Oh, how T wish he'd let these big schemes alone and be content to take a comfortable job! Cora propped her chin on her hands and gloomily regarded her husband as he sat on the other side of the living room table. It occurred to her all at once how pale he looked under lamplight: A rush of pity and of loving sympathy overswept her. “Oh, I know you're right about it, Davy,” she cried, going round to perch on the arm of his chair. “I'm a selfish pig! I'm overtired. I walked too far tod and T helped Lizzie iron, and I'm making over my blue foulard and——" David looked up with a rueful smile. “Dear Kiddie,” he began, “this scrimping and pinching won’t last long. I'll find a way out. But you do see, don’t you, that I can’t let them get away with that building code? I'm not guessing at results, dear. I know what would happen. Why, we'd be watching the papers every day for news of some tenement fire or collapse.” Yes, ves, Davy dear; I see it now. You are right. T saw only the side, the close-up view.

THEDA BARA IN “HER DOUBLE LIFE” The attraction for tomorrow and Thursday at the Fox theater will be “Her Double Life,” a masterfilm pro- duction from the Mr. William Fox stu- dios, featuring the famous woman of the screen, Theda Bara. This is the story of a woman who deliberately takes the place of another, she be- lieves dead, and is called to {after she has fallen in love with man who has befriended her, which makes Theda Bara’s new play one of exceptionally gripping heart-interest. Miss Bara plays the part of Mary Doone, who begins life at a disadvan- tage, as a child of the slums. She works her way to a high position in London society—then comes the dis- covery, and all is over. The ing cast in this feature is of all star calibre, and includes the greatest of all screen villlans, Stuart Holmes. The | other attractions for these two days ! include the ninth chapter of Gloria's Romance, featuring Pathe Weekly, ““See America First” travel films and the George Ovey comedy entitled “The Rookie.” a few people were not being able to see at Fox’s yesterday, due to a mix-up by the express office. Manager Melarkey haq another film shipped out of Bos- ton yesterday afternoon and positively states that the feature ‘is at his thea- ter now and will be shown both after- noon anl evening.
