Ever since she and David had left Colony Park under the cloud Carter Brett spread over David’s reputation the Temples had lived in anxiety and strain. Bravely had Cora borne her part. wdfastly had she kept in David’s innocence of blame for the factory collapse. Cheerfuily ) returned to sacrifice and plain living. Well had she done her sl of “mix- ing” with the awful Rourkes and Donnelys. But now, when suddenly the light had come in the form of Brett’s proof that David was guiltless of the ctory disaster, Cora realized how much she longed for the returp of suc- cess and prosperity. She was alone one evening, David being in and other leaders of the Citizen’s party,” when Beth Woodford called. “Oh I know you didn’t expedt me,” she bubbled. “You think I left vou alone in your adversity, only to come again when things are bright. Well, maybe you're right, Cora. I do lovesuccess.” i “Everybody does,” said Cora, her mind full of her own perplexity. “That’s why I'm feeling kind of sick over Dave's determination not to go ba to Colony Park, but to stay herc and enter politics instead—some important office the reform party wants to boost him into.” What!” squealed Beth. “Not go back to Colony Park! Whatever David Temple thinking of! Isn't that just like him—absolutely imprai cal! Men are all alike—so visionary. Itg us women who are practical. always say- @ Beth babbled her caustic little platitudes, mere fact that Beth Woodford, sclfish and prone to sI . invariably was, feit it a disaster for them not to return to Colony Park in itself made Cora begin to think it was the wrong thing to do. “You know, Beth,” she broke into the middle of a sentence ruthlessly, “we women so often sec only the immediate results of a thing instead of the ultimate good.” “Oh, bother the ultimate good!” plustered Mrs. Woodford. “You talk like Tom. I've been through torments of woITY ever since we were married be- cause Tom always worked for the ‘ultimate good’ when what I needed was clothes and food and house rent.” “Tom is a pretty successful lawyer,” smile at Beth's “torments of worr: “But he has worked himself to death to be one,” he’s never home, and as grouchy as a bear over everything I suggest. T was just crazy to go out to the Grand Canyon this year, but Tom was chained to his stupid desk as usual. I often wonder if it's that new red-headed girl he’s got down there or whether i “Oh, cut it, Beth. You've talked that way for fifteen years, and Tom a perfect lamb. You never appreciated Tom. You don’t understand him any more than a rabbit. By the time Dave and I have been married fifteen vears I want to be able to say I had a hand in whatever success he has made. I wouldn't be a drag on him for anything in this world.” “I suppose I've been a drag on Tom! Well, I haven’t! I've been a good wife. I've done everything I could to spur him on to make money. And let me tell you, Cora, money is what counts most.” “I don't agree with you,” Cora defended, her best self awakening. “Money is only worth while when other things are there ahead of it—com- radeship first of all. Usefulness—that's another thing more important than money. I'd rather be the wife of a man who has done something to help people, as Dave is trying to do, than of—well, any man who is rich and nothing more.” “Oh, very well, my dear; if you prefer running with a lot of dirty, long- haired fanatics to making a big success among nice people——" Cora laughed. “You wouldn’t call Dr. Hartley and his sort dirty, long- haired fanatics, Beth, if you saw them. They're the finest men I ever met— and among the richest,” she added with a sly smile. When Mrs. Woodford had gone Cora stood a moment thinking. m glad she came said. “She has decided me! Just as the anti- suffragists converted me to suffrage, Beth has shown me by her futile argu- ments where my place is. I'm for Dave and the Citizen’s party fight—with all my heart!” belief she her had conference with Hartley T Cora hardly listening. The p judgment as she suggested Cora with an inward napped Beth. “And Polite Cowards so much as my best one.” Second, “No, I shall not come again. I can’t afford it. I can get just as good work done elsewhere for a fair rate.” Now wouldn’t it have been fairer and squarer anq franker and healthier all around to have told her why? Wouldn’t it have been better for my soul and hers? There such a thing as too much frankness. stantly Politeness is an indispensable thing. It oils the machinery of daily living. Our constant contact with each other | would bring friction far morc often | than it does if it were not for the oil of politness. And yet there are times when po- liteness makes cowards of us all. I went to a new stenographer the other day. When I had finished my dictating and come to pay the bill, she over- charged me. Her flat rate was a dol- lar an hour. I had dictated an hour and a quarter. She charged me a dollar and a half. I asked why and she said, “‘Well, when we work hard and accomplish a good deal we usually charge more.’ “I Sece,” Said the Blind Man, But “Oh, yes!” said I, like a polite cow- ard, “I see.” I didn’t see at all, not in the sense of being satisfled. “Come again,” said she. “Thank you,” I heard myself say, ing other people a piece of their minds that you wonder if they can have any left. Such A Thing As Being Too Com- plaisant. But there is also such a thing as keeping your mind too much to your- self, being too complaisant. People who are to complaisant en- courage injustice and overbearing ways in other They grow cowardly and mealy mouthed. And quite frequently thev store up an unhealthy accumulation of resentment in their hearts because they don’t give their feelings the vent of occasional plain speaking. Incidentally I have often noticed that the people who treat outsiders | in this complaisant way are likely to take it out in too much plain speak- ing to their housemates. That, of course, is true to type. For the coward is usually a’ bully, when he dares to be. e e o 1 didn’t mean either of those state- ments. What T should have said if I hadn’t been inhibited by the cowardice of politness was: How I Should Have Answered Her. First, “I don’t think you accom- plished such a great deal. You did not accomplish any more than several other stenographers I've had and not Hawley, as Marion Barstow is in- fluenced by her parents to marry Sir Rankin Chatsworth, an English earl, although she is in love with a younger man.

I laid my face against his cheek, hifted my arms so that no weight should rest against his bandaged shoulder, which, at my first glimpse of it, had caused me to shudder involun- tarily. “If you only knew how awful I felt about this,” Dicky murmured, con- tritely, and, as I raised my eyes to' look at him his own contracted as with pain. “It's a fine mess I've brought you inta by my carelesssess this summer, but T swear I didn’'t dream—" I laid my hand on his lips. “Don't sweetheart,” I pleaded. “It is enough for me to know that you are fe in my arms.

EXCELLENT COMEDY 0za Waldrop Wins Favor in Ed- ward Peples’ Latest Work If it is true, as has been said, that entertaining men and women is one of the greatest heights to which one can reach, Edward Peples has reached the pinnacle.

The plot centers around Martha Mayhew who does not share the strict relig! father, a Quake the old school, who believes in ruling with a hand of brass rather than by love. Martha is not orthodox. She cannot bring herself to believe that it is any more sinful for her to sing than it is for the woodthrush outside her window to burst forth in carol. Her ‘“sinfulness” is the cross of her father’s life and in order of her evil spirit he decides to wed to Friend Aaron Quane, an elder in the society of friends, a man of the scarecrow type. But Harry Shirley, scion of wealthy Philadelphian, in- tervenes, and- they elope on the e set for Martha' marriage to Friend Quane, who is forced to accept some rough handling from Harr; Shirley before they can make the! S The pursuit of both by Shirley’s fath er, Col. Henry Shirley, and Martha's father, the rage of the Colonel on child has run away with a “tall, bony, straight up and down Quakeress” whose feet “are that long” and the meeting of all in- partics in Lion, furnish a lively third act dur- ing which each of the principals ha excellent opportunity to display histronic talen The reconciliation in the fourth ct and the softening of the Quaker's hard heart, conclude a very pretty comedy. Too much cannot be said for Miss Oza Waldrop, a mite of a maid whq assumes the role of Martha with a charm and simplicity that win her in- a comedy in the life of a tween life and death.

I knew that later I would hav face my own soul in a rigid inquisition as to how far I had been to blame for this tragedy. I had been married less than a year and yet my husband was involved in a harrible complica- tion like th But my brain was too exhausted to follow that line of thought . I was content to rest quietly on my knees by the side of Dicky’s bed, with his hand in mine and my eves fixed on his | white face with the long lashes shadowing it. At first T was perfectly comfortable, then after a while little tingling pains began to run through my back and - limbs. I dared not change my position for fear of disturbing Dicky, so I-set my teeth and endured the discomfort. The sharpness of the pain gradually wore away as the minutes went by, | and was succeeded by a distressing | feeling of numbness extending all over 1y body. Just as I was beginning to feel that the numbness must soon extend to my brain, the door opened and some one came quietly in. My back was to the door, and so careful were the footsteps crossing the room that I could ot tell wha the newcomer was until I felt a firm hard gently unclasping by nerv ous | | fingers from Dicky’s. Then I looked up into the solicitous face of Dr. Pettit, How is it that you have been left atone here so long?” he inquired, in- dignantly, yet keeping his voice to the professional low pitch of a sick {room. He put his strong, firm hands under my elbows, raised me ta my | feet and supported me to a chair, for | my feet were like pieces of wood. I | could hardly lift them. | “How long have you been kneeling | there?” he demanded. “You would Lave fainted away if you had stayed | there much longer.” | “I do not know,” T replied, | “but it doesn’t matter. Tell | my husband all right, and how is he hurt?” faintly, me, is badly | evil but stant favor. Miss Waldrop has a winsomeness and reetness that arc certain to carry her into the hearts of all audiences who may be so fortun- ate as to see “Friend rtha.”” In a word, she was born for the part. As the gay, dashing, debonnair Tfor- ry Shirley, whose main object in life is to catch a fox or flirt with a pret- ty girl, until he meets Martha and becomes more settled, Reginald Den- ny is very acceptable. Walter Walk- er, in the role of “Friend Godfrey Mayhew,” father of Martha, gives an ideal delineation of the strict pavent, alsciplinarian from head to foot. The same can be said of Miss Mabel Burt, the sweet mother of Martha, who does not agree with her husband in all his Interpretations of good and who is forced to bow before his will until at last outraged mother- hood asserts itself and she bids her husband deflance rather than be sep- arated from her child. The path is open for Miss Burt to exaggerate her role but to her credit it can be sald that she is not guilty of this high crime of stagecraft. Carleton Macey offers a fine “Aaron Quane,” the irascible Quaker >lder who sees evil stalking all around waiting to gobble up the, frail and tip- pant. Charles Stevengon also per- forms acceptably the task of wearing tho clothes and spirit of Col. Henry Shirley and his jocous friend and companion Judge Carnett, brought in- to the flesh by Walter Howe, is an- other character well done. Many laughs are furnished by Miss Jossie Brink and Miss Ida Mulle in the respective roles of “Friend Ara- bella Neeks” and “Friena Ruth Grel- Jett,” unattached spinsters who will not remain long in the state of single Dbliss should “Friend Aaron Quane” falter for a moment in his determina- tion not to take unto himself a third | wife unless it be Martha. The work of Jack Raffael as “Tcb Fox, proprictor of the “Sisn of the Lion,” is also worthy of notice. From a mechanical standpoint, the comedy is well presented. The scen- ery is effective, although in only the Jast two acts is the director allowed much latitude, the scenes in the first two acts conforming to the ideas of Martha’s father.
