Here is one: “I have often wondered if you could help me solve some of my life prob- lems. I am quite aweary the last few vears trying to make the ends meet and at the same time give my two girls and two boys at least a high tchool education, keep them all well, fed and clothed: The Movies Are Few and Far Betwen. “I pay eighteen dollars rent, fifty dollars coal bill, average fifteen dol- lars for medicines and doctor, pay church dues, buy school books, spend a quarter now and then for carfares, or parks or movies (which are few and far between) all on a fifteen-dol- lar income. “Keep in mind that there are two others in the family that have to wear some kind of clothing. “Also when the muslins, linens, bedding, carpets, etc, wear out, where, oh, where would you get the wherewithal to buy others?

Courting a continuance of thes once tropical display of affection, she enters into a plot tc arouse those emotions by entering into a harmless flirtation with Antheny Schmalz an elderly millionaire. The princess has a double motive for this. Her friend Grace Holbrook, has been induced to become engaged to Schmalz, for rea- sons of convenience, and Pat, rather than have Grace sacrificed to a man that she cares nothing for, sees a way of estranging the two and making a better match for Grace. In this she is aided and abbetted by Bob Darrow, a sort of adventurous friend of Young Tony Schmalz, who is In love with Grace.

A Good Soap For Baby Skin A good baby soap should contain soothing, healing dpmpcrtics to pre- vent the rashes and chafings to which babies are liable. That is why so many physicians recommend Resinol Soap. “I am sorry, mother,” he said, with dignity, “that you should imagine me capable of counting on your inability to go with us. I simply did nat think anything about your heart attacks in connection with the mountains when I thought of the trip. At that, I be- lieve you will find that you could go with safety if you consulted medical authority. From all I've learned, Madge's mother had a very serious condition of the heart, much worse than yours.” “Oh, of course,” my mother-in-law interjected, tossing her head, while I mentally scored Dicky’s foolishness. He ought to have known better than to compare one old woman’s ailments with those of another. “We won't go up very far,” Dicky went on, happily oblivious of his mother’s gathering frown. “We'll take the day boat up the Hudson, which is simply wonderful naw, with the trees all in their autumn coloring, and go up to Kingston. There we can take a train to the mountains, and little too old to be taken around any- where as if I were a child.” I thought mischievously that that was just what she was, a child, and a fearfully spoiled one at that, but Dicky's voice held a masterful note in it that I had never heard him use toward his mother when he replied. “A Spoiled Child.” “You know, mother, that we Would not allow you ta stay in a house alone by vourself.

If there isn’t, just name a hotel in the city that you l’ke best, and T'll get you a room and bath there for the week that we're He rose abruptly and left the table, giving her no chance to reply, but his mother caught at the opportunity to cast a barbed shaft at me. “How Richard has changed since his marriage!” she said grimly. “A few years aga he would have cut his right hand off before he would have addressed me in that insolent manner only a few miles up there is some of the prettiest scenery and one of the bulliest trout streams that you could want. I'll bet you anything that if you get Dr. Pettit's opinion he'll say it will be perfectly safe for you to go.” “No, thank you,” snapped my mother-in-law, “I don’t need either a jackanapes of a doctor or an ir- responsible lad like you to tell me the condition of my heart. I know all about it, know just what'I can stand, andmountain trips are not one of them; besides, the accommodations up in those places are frightful unless you go to one of the expensive hotels, and there you have to dress so much that it’s no vacation.” “No hatels for me,” Dicky declared, “I'm going to a farmhouse that I know of on the bank of this stream; best eats to be had anywhere in the world. You can wear a flannel shirt and trousers tucked in yaur boots all day long.” and put aside my wishes as of no ac- count.” Then she, too, rose from the table sbruptly and swept haughtily out of the room. I put my head down upon my arm and the angry tears that I had tried to repress in her presence came thick and fast, but I did not weep long. I heard a hasty step be- hing me, and Dicky’s tender, master- ful arms drew me to my feet, and I telt the coolness of his handkerchief dabbing at my eyes. “You little idiot,” he said, giving me a shake, “if I catch you crying again over mother’s nonsense I'll— T'll turn you over my knee and ad- minister a good old-fashioned spank- ing. You take her too seriously; she’s just a spoiled child.” Remembering the way in which Dicky had preferred his mother's wishes to mine when she first came to us I felt with a little grateful, selfish thrill, that his marriage had changed Dicky.

Ba.kel “PRINCE OF PILSON” FINDS FAVOR HERE “The Prince of Pilsen,” Pixley and Luder's tuneful musical comedy, played at the Russwin Lyceum last evening before a large and respon- sive audience. ‘“The Prince of Pil- sen” will always live in the hearts of those who are fond of good music, clean comedy and a large chorus and the reception given it last evening was proof of this. Edward T. Mora did well as Carl Otto, the prince, and Charles Horne, as Hans Wagner, the Cincinnati brew- er and pseudo prince, also filled his wart acceptably. Walter James, the dashing American lleutenant, sang well. George Charles Horne stood out as Arthur St. Johns Wilberforcs, Lord Somerset, the English dandy, who had a horror of work and pov- erty. George L. Meyers was prominent as Francois, consierge of the Hotel In- ternational at Nice, where the story of the comedy was unwoven. Mr. Meyers, in comparatively a minor role, was really the best in the cast and he was ably assisted by TIrene Duke, the French maid. Estelie Birney as Mrs. Madison Croker, a New York widow whose horizon in life is rimmed by one revelry after another; Eldora Stanford, as the daughter of the Cincinnati citizen, thy Delmore, the bellboy, was a viva- cious bit of humanity. It is unnecessary to comment on the singing. The vehicle, in this re- spect is without a superior and the music was well handled. The costumes and stage were far above the ordinary, VETERAN PLAYERS MAKE POPULAR HIT The Five Boys in Blue, aged war veterans, who have been entertaining the patrons of Keeney’s all week with their pleasing musical novelty, will bring their New Britain engagement tc a close tonight. The men have been extremely popular with the au- dience all week. They have added a patriotic flavor to their act and they have secured a firm hold on the sen- timental admiration of the audiences. Members of the quintet are all veter- ans of the Civil war. They are grey and bent of figure but as entertainers they prove that they are anything but stale. They deserve a warm farewell when they make their last appearance tenight and the Saturday playgoer viill no doubt see that it is accorded to them. Lovers of classical music and oper- olic vaudeville specialties will find rauch to enthuse over in the act of Leona Gurney, a dainty singing com- edienne, who is playing at the thea- ter this week. Leona is interpreting the prison scene from “Faust,” play- ing both Mephistopheles and Mar- guerite. She sings in impressive fash- ion and the audience during the week has gone into estacies over her work. Among the motion picture offerings tonight, the second spisode in the Vit- agraph serial, “The Scarlet Runner,” s expected to be conspicuous. “The Nuremburg Watch,” is the title of the chapter. Earle Williams, the screen’s settings and Marie Badwin a Vassar girl, all won friends in the audience. Doro- | Tost handsome actor, will be seen in tho leading role. AL K. HALL—BUT NOT J: BARLEYCORN Al K. Hall in the ‘“Maids of Amer- ica” will be seen with a big company all next week at the Grand theater. Its a wonderful show, a regular bur- lesque show- Bobby Barry is there, too. He plays opposite Hall in the roles, replacing Don Barclay. Bobby is the son of the late Billy Barry and is well upholding the traditions of his illustrious father. Norma Bell, one of the real beauties of the bur- lesque stage,”is the prima donna. Among the supporting players will be Joe Weston, Tony Shane, Harvey Brooks and Miss Alfaretta Symonds. There will be a big bunch of dancing beauties. Tonight is the last oppor- tunity to see Etta Pillard and George Stone in the ““Ragdoll in Ragland,” show. It’s worth seeing and shouldn’t be missed by lovers of good burlesque. The chorus is unusually good this week and the entire production is one of the best of the Columbia circuit- Mushrooms are most delicious when allowed to simmer in their own juice ang a good amount of butter.
