Under Walter Stedman’s. feet was & litter of bits of torn paper and broken rn‘ltchstlck . The rug was scuffed and crumpled from his fidgeting fzet. The adver ng “copy” he was trying to write was black with sav- @zely crossed out and rewritten lines. His hair was a mess of disorder with much running of his fingers through it. He was chewing his lip as he sat at his typewriter. And every now and then he jumped to his feet to pace the corridor outside his office. He did not know there was anyth ing out of the usual with him. He laidhis mood to tiredness and overwork. Ordinarily Wait drew the blinds downcver his nervousness and kept it with in so that to the world outside heseemed always even tempered, withou t ‘‘nerves.” But today @ thousand picayune things pestered and harassed him. He feit like flying away into space somewhere—away from the office, away from his home, away from everybody, cven Janet. The head of the advertising firm for whom Walt Stedman worked as writer came into his office and noticed the signs of tension. He glanced at the much X'd and crisscrossed ‘“copy”which ordinarily came fluently and neatly from Walt's machine. Mr. Holmes was an understanding and sympathetic man. He saw that “Walt was tensed up and that he did not know it; and even that knowing it would not help him relax. “Our Beecher signs have gone up all over the city today,” he said Findly- “I wish you'd take my car and let me know how they look to the rian in the automobile, Stedman.” Walt scrooged himself tightly into the corner seat of Haines' machine and tried to get “impressions” of the signs. But all he felt was a con- sciousness of unpleasant effort and strain without any useful result. His employer’s kindly device for getting him to relax was not succeeding. At b o'clock Walt met Janet in her office in the tenement commission- er's department. She, too, looked as though she were under a strain but was trying to hide the fact with a quick smile as he came in. Walt kissed her tenderly, then asked quickly: “Anything the matter, Janet?” She looked up, startled. Her smile faded. “No, not a thing: Why do you ask ” “Oh, because you seem—you look a little tired or worried.” To Walt’s dismay a look of hopelessness came over.Janet's face. She urned to the window, gazing moodily out on the dusk-mantled city. Walt struggling against vague unease, put kis hands gently on ner shoulders to turn her to him. She did not move. “What is it Janet? What is troubling you?” he asked, his voice a little sharp. Janet was silent. Walt insisted on an answer. “Oh, it’s nothing, Walt; only a feceling of bafflement, of defeat for the 1 oment!” she exclaimed. “Here was I. unconscious of anything wrong, try- ing my best to appear cheerful, and only to be told I look funereal and cross and old. Oh!” She moved her shoulders impatiently. ‘Walt stepped back with amazement. “Why, Janet, I didn’t say anything like that,” asked what was wrong.” “It amounts to the same thing,” Janet said miserably. They kept silent. Nor did they say anything all the way to their little apartment. Once inside the door, however, Janet turned to Walter and turied her face in his bosom. Neither knew the reason for the serange tensed, cdge state they were in. But they thought they knew. “I am already getting on his nerves,’ Janet whispered to herself mis- erably. “If we feel this way only a month after our marriage,” thought Walt, “how long will our happiness last?” he protested. “I only moody nerves-on- For the Newly-Wed “Great Goodness!” said the Author- | Man to a newly-wed neighbor of ours, ‘“didn’t you hear what your wife said?” “No,” said the newly-wed neighbor, placidly removing his pipe, “was it anything important?” “I should say so,” said the Author- Man, “she said her new hat wasn't becoming.” “Well?” said the neighbor. “Well?” echoed the Author-Man, ‘don’t you know she’ll be telling you that you said her hat was a sight?” “But I didn’t say anything of the sort,” objected the neighbor. “You didn’t deny it,” broke in his wife, They Store Them Up Against You. “Aha!” said the Author-Man, tri- umphantly. “What was I tellmg you?

She disguises herself, in such a way that no one would suspect her of being beautiful. This is done in her nevertheless. a role that gives her excellent oppor- tunities, and she makes the most of them. A specially engaged cast in- cludes Gladden James, Kate Lester, Eric von Stroheim and Herbert French. For the two days the Par- amount Plays will offer the celebrat- ed Broadway favorite Mae Murray, in “The Big Sister”” This is distinctly a drama, dealing as it does with the thrilling experiences of a girl whose joverty places her in the power of a notorious under-world character. Scenes on ‘‘The Great White Way,” and the all night restaurants are featured in this picture. “She Loved a Sailor,” by the Keystone comedians, and the Paramount Newspaper of the screen, the Pictograph, will also be seen on the program for these two days. SPECIAL FEATURES AT GRAND THEATER Another Max Spiegel show will be seen at the Grand theater this week to celebrate the jubilee week, open- ing at today’s matinee “The Spiegel Revue” will be the attraction. In this show, Max Spiegel gives bur- lesque a mammoth production with ten massive sets of scenery and an elaborate wardrobe. Mr. Spiegel last year astonished producers by the magnificence of his ‘“Merry Round- ers” production but, never satisfied with what he has done, this ambi- tious burlesque magnate has built his new show on a scale which easily eclipses last year’'s production. He gave his personal attention to the staging and was asslsted by Thomas Grady. He retained George Totten Smith to provide a book, and he had the music written by Ruby Cowan and J. Strause. His casts is com- posed of such well known burlesque people as Bllly Mossey, Midgie Miller, TFolly Follette, Ben Grinnell, Callahan Brothers, Leo Nadell, Josephine Younge, Marie Allen, Ann Statler, Dinkie Dare and others. A large chorus forms an important part of the organization. The piece is in two acts and ten scenes, the settings covering a variety of environments. There are also two big electrical novelties. One of them 1is called “The Fashion Girl” and shows Marie Allen in a series of poses. The other is “The Smiling Moon"” in which a girl’'s face appears in the moon, fur- nishing an electrical revelation of great beauty. The scenery was pro- vided by P. Dodge Ackerman. Five special nights will be given way of extra features. be given daily.

Lillian held me off from her and looked me over critically when I was to start. “You’ll put all their eyes out,” she said, extravagantly, as she kissed me, “Don’t let that old Smith cat put any- thing over on you today.” I could not help smiling at Lillian’s disrespectful allusion to the august secretary of the Latus Study club.

But it was about the only penalty of a very pleasant and lucra- | tive position, so T resolved to ignore her unpleasantness as much as pos- sible. As I entered the club rooms, which were already well filled with women, I heard a unanimous gasp of astonish- ment.
