EVELATIONSOF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON }low Lillian Cared for Madge to Save Her From Nervous Breakdown. There was more than the ordinary colicitude of a physician in Dr. Pettit’s vaice as he ordered me to lie down because of - my nervous ex- haustion, saying: “If there is no 01\?, else to take care of you, I must do it.’ He had found me kneeling by Dicky’s bed. I had been in the same position ever since I had entered the room where Dicky lay wounded by the treacherous hand of Grace Draper. The almost hopeless condition of the girl had kept every one else In Lillian Underwood’s apartment busy. When Dr. Pettit raised me from my | kneeling posture and supported .me to; a seat I was almost in a collapse. Even through the numbness that enveloped me, something new, vital, insistent, in the physician’s voice and manner beat upon my brain. - It puzzled me. Dr. Pettit’s manner was that of a man caring for a woman | who had no other protector. And yet‘ he had just sald that Dicky ‘‘would be all right in no time.” There alsa had been an expression of indignant | pity in his eyes when he had raised me from Dicky’s bedside. All at once the answer to the riddle flashed upon me. The young phy- siclan must have put the worst possible construction upon the even-i ing’s tragedy. He must believe that| Dicky had nat been the innocent ! victim of the girl’'s mad rage; that in- stead the girl had been Dicky’s victim and had attempted to kill him when he had tired of her. If Dr. Pettit believed this, he must aiso belleve that Dicky was lost to' me forever and that in the course of time 1 would free myself from a husband who had praven so faithless to me. This, then, was the reason of this new note in his attitude toward me. I felt a shiver of horror at his mis- understanding of the sltuation. It seemed a sacrilege in the presence of Dicky’s narrow escape fram death to have to consider even the probable opinton of any other man, Tomorrow Burton-Holmes Travelogue I felt as if I could not bear to answer him, even to raise my eyes to meet his. T do not know how long the intense silence would have cantinued. Just as I felt that I could not bear the situation any longer Lillian TUnder- wood came into the room, bringing with her, as she always does, an at- mosphere of cheerful sanity. “What is the matter?”’ she gsked. Her tone was low and guarded, Dut in it there was a note of alarm, and the same anxiety shown from her eyes as she came swiftly toward me. “Don’t Be Childish.” “Mrs. Graham is in danger of a nervous collapse If she daes not have rest and quiet soon,” Dr. Pettit re- turned gravely. “Will you see that she is put to bed at once? Mr. Gra- ham will do very well for a while alone, although when you have made Mrs. Graham camfortable I wish you could come back and sit with him.” Lilian put her strong arms around 1me and led me through the door into the outer hall. “But who is with Miss Draper?” I protested faintly as we started down the stalrs toward the first flaor. “Her sister and one of the best trained nurses in the city,” Lilllan re- sponded. ‘‘Besides, Dr. Pettit will go immediately back to her room.” “But Dicky; there is no one with Dicky,” I sald, struggling feebly in an aitempt to go back up the stairs egain. “Dan't be childish, Madge.” The words, the tone, were impatient, the first I had ever heard from Lillian toward me. But I mentally acknow- ledged their justice and braced my- self to be more sensible. “Dicky is absolutely all right,” Lillian went on. “He probably will sleep for hours, naw that he has seen you and his mind is at rest. Besides, Just as soon as you are resting com- fortably, I will go back to him. have had Betty fix up a cot far Katle just outside your bedroom door. Then if you need anything she can get it for you.” She hurried me through her won- derful white and scarlet living roam with its crimson draperies and iInto her own bedroom, the one which I had once likened to the heart of a rose, so exquisite was it with its rase- iined walls and hangings. She put me into an easy ochair and then touched a button which must have communicated with the kitchen, for Betty appeared almost immedl- ately. In “Her” Room. “Bring me a glass of mulled wine us soon as yau can get it ready,” Lilllan directed. “Let Katie change in your roem to a wrapper or something easy to lie down in and then send her here.” As the woman disappeared, tarned to me with a tender smile. “Now to show you what an excel- lent maid T am,” she said. She undressed me as tenderly as if I had been a sick child, took down she my hair, brushed and plaited Bettie, with Katie, wide-eyed svmpathetic, in her wake, appeared| with the glass of mulled wine, which Lillian held to my lips until T drained it.

Mar- garet Case, a young New York sten- ographer, about to marry a young man who turng out to be a thief, is arrested as an accomplice, convict- ed, serves part of her time and then breaks the parole on which she is released. She goes west and there marries the man who has employed her as his stenographer. He is called to New York to occupy an important post as general manager of a railroad. His wife goes with him. The husband is striving to put behind the bars a boy who has robbed the railroad com- pany. A detective comes to his house to talk over the boy’s case, sees his wife, recognizes her as the conduct betrays to her husband what has happened and the whole story of her former life is revealed. In the meantime the governor of the state arrives to ask Mr. Lake to drop the case of the young boy. Now the husband consents to discontinue all request story. Messrs.

IS FOX’S FEATURE No story was ever more interesting than “Hulda From Holland,” featur- ing and -written especially for Mary Pickford, which will be the attraction at Fox's today and tomorrow. The ac- tion opens in picturesque Holland and shifts to New York, when, on the in- vithtion of her Uncle, a typical Penn- vania Dutchman, Hulda brings her three little brothers to the land of opportunity. Although there is a great deal of tender appeal in Miss Pick- ford’s little Dutch girl, there is very much that is comical in her inter- pretation of the role, and there are many delightful little episodes in | which the three adorable children are seen with the star, that will un- doubtedly malke the production rank as one of Miss Pickford’s greatest con- tributions to motion picture humor. In addition to the Pickford feature the Triangle piays will present their great star Bessie Barriscale in ‘The Payment.” This feature deals with the career of Phylis Page, the am- bitious daughter of a small-town mill- worker, and aims its blow at the dis- loyalty of married men who bargain with strugglish girls. Phyllis Page in the story reaps a reward from her sacrifice—she attains distinction as a portrait painter—but when true love does come she finds it obstructed by memories of the past. “Skirts,” a two-reel Keystone comedy, and the Burton-Holmes Travelogue will make up the balance of this program. As usual, on Saturday, the performance at this house will be continuous from 2 to 11 p. m. THE GLOBE TROTTERS ON GRAND PROGRAM Many theatergoers who have hith- erto cared nothing for burlesque are attracted to the Grand theater, Hart- ford, to see “The Million Dollar Dolls with Lew Hilton. Those who have seen the show, which is at the Grand for the balance of the week, agree that the critics were right when they sald “The Million Dollar Dolls” is one of the best burlesque shows ever seen anywhere. There is a snappy line of music, the dances are put on twith | a vim and the chorus leaves little to be desired for grace and beauty. Besides Hilton, Slim Kellan is fur- nishing much of the genuine comedy work, and Alice Lazar, the good looking prima donna, is a capable woman for this work. Grace Sey- mour is doing clever stunts as the soubrette, her song, “In the Movies,” Deing particularly catchy. Savo, the juggler, Is doing his part well this week, and Bob Ferns in the black face part demonstrates unusual abil- ity. Next week the Grand presents the “Blutch” Cooper production, “Thel n.‘ and | B had ‘ B brief directions for my care if I should | o helped me into bed and drew the ex- | | said, | | with an uneasy remembrance of a talk | |8 told me once that you had prepared | f§ Lillian bent over me again, her eyes | § whose quarry he has long been seeking.

Personally, I can scarcely a more worthy one. A logical mind is one of the most precious possessions one can hae. A TLogical Mind Better Than a Memory. as busy mothers are so imagine “zood A good memory is a blessing but a logical mind is ten times more val- uable. Memory deals only with the past, a logical mind deals also with the pres- ent and the future in their relation to the past. A memory deals with fact, but a log- ical mind deals with big truths he- hing these facts. The logical mind is narrow mind. Prejudices place in it. It is the open mind.
