Janet had often wondered just when a bride stopped being a bride and became a wife—just a plain, everyday wif She felt she knew now. It was when the first “cold’” words passed between herself and her new hus- band. It was when they could look at each other with hostile eyes over some trifile. It was when each could be interested in outside things— things that seemed more important than each other or their home, “I hate it! I hate ®!” cried Janet’s spirit within her as Walter sat on either side of the living room table on a certain evening. Walter was really reading; Janet only ‘pretending to. “Must it come to all of us this detestable change from the honeymoon to married life?” But no sooner had she thus silently rebelled than a swift thankful- ness filled her mind that at least she had her work. She needn’t be like the majority of brides turned into wives, who have no resources beyond themselvés and their four walls. She had a whole splendid life outside her home. She had friends. She had freedom. She would make that an antidote for this unpleasant transition from high romance to plodding matrimony. “We've been too much together,” grown accustomed to each other, Marital Problems she and she reflected more calmly. “We've and the novelty has worn off. It hap- pens to every couple. Only most of them don’t know enough to apply the remedy—or are afraid to.” As if reading her very thoughts, ‘Watler suddenly laid down his news- paper, knocked the ashed meditatively out of his stubby pipe and said slowly: I know what's the matter with us, Jan, we need a vacation. That is, you need a vacation from me. Men are commonplace brutes. They view the waning of a honeymoon and the rising of practical married life as a matter of course. But you women sort of take it to heart. It catches you in the emotions. It spells tragedy to you. Now you've been sitting in that chair an hour pretending to read the ‘Ladies’ World,' but really reading your own heart—a married woman's world of disillusion. Isn’t it true, dear?’’ Janet was silent—both surprised and her feelings. He went on in a kind voice: “Tell you what let’s do—let’s put our theory in practice. My bachelor quarters, vou know. I'll take a sneak over to that little old room of mine on South Washington square for a few days and give you a chance to turn arcund, get acquainted with your new self and view me in per- spective. ~ What say, girl?” And he gave her a big, boyish hug, hold- ing her off afterward at arms’ length and looking good-naturedly touched at Walt's insight into into net's heart instantly warmed to him. Her mind reacted pleasantly to his suggestion. It would be nice to have a little spell of solitude and —and space! A chance to do exactly as she pleased without deferring to some one else.

SINGER’S MIDGETS AT THE LYCEUM “Lalli” the large English bull pup that won three prizes at the Phila- delphia horse show this season, be- longs to Baron Leo Singer, owner of the famous Singer Midget troupe “DATLIL” Famous English Bulldog Singer’s Midgets- Pet of which is apearing here at the Russ win Lyceum every afternoon and eve- ning this week. The pup is a great pet of the troupe, and despite what would be termed his ugly and feroci- ous appearance, ‘he is as gentle as a kitten. The bull and his friends made their appearance on the streets of New Britain yesterday, and everyone that chanced to meet the imposing stranger gave it a wide berth. The midgets, together with their pet, made a very odd picture, as the bull weighs more than the heaviest members of the troupe. Twenty-five other the show, but none of them appear on the stage, all of them being pets of the various members of the troupe. Baron Singer bought the prize bull for 4,000 marks in Brussels, Belgium, but would not part with him now, as he has become so firmly attached to the midgets and the rest of the com- pany. FILM MAKES STRONG PLEA FOR DEFENSE dogs accompany Introducing one of the most thril- ling and spectacular motion pictures ever produced, Keeney's will present as its big attraction this week, “The Fall of a Nation,” the great photo drama, which was shown for over months at the Liberty theater in New York, the patrons, paying from $1 to $3 for tickets. While the pic- ture is the mecst expensive film ever hooked for New Britain, since ‘“The Birth of a Nation,’ the management has decided to continue popular prices during the weck and there will be chbsolutely no advance. The play was written by Thomas Dixon, Victor Ierbert preparing the music. It is s daring spectacle picturizing the hypothetical invasion of the United States Dby over 100,000 Imperial troops, armed with the latest inven- {ions of war. It is the one big ap- peal for preparedness and it fairly astounds the audience by its realism. Big hattles trenches on Long Island are shown, thousands taking Lart, the defeat of thé American armies and the final saving of the country by the women. The piece was staged by the Vita- graph company and the actors in- clude such celebraties as Arthur chirley, Lorraine Huling, Percy Stan- ding and Flora MacDonald. Not a singlc detail that would tend to malke it successful has been omit- ted and it is one continuous thrill. It is described as “a bugle call to arms for naticnal defense” and can- not but stir the true feeling of Americanism and preparedness. Seven reels of film is required for the play and on account of its length the management has decided to have it started in the -afternoon at 3:30 and in the evening at 8:30. This will be the first time the pic- ture will be shown at popular prices and crowded houses should be the rule daily There will be a vaudeville show and the usual film features in addl- tion to the great spectacle. in TRIPLE FEATURE AT FOX'S THEATER The first of the new triple feature programs to be offered at Fox's will be ushered in with the“matinee per- formance to-day. To show the Tri- angle and Paramount features on the Program was quite an achievement in the amusement line, and adding to the above array the product of the Fox Studios, malkes the offering at this House one of exceptional merit and the greatest pregram offered any- where at the price. The selection of features on the first program contain the names of stars well known and liked by all photoplay fans. The Par- amount will offer “The House of Lies”, with the celebrated Broadway favorite Theater Goers and Women Readers The theme of this master-feature deals with the falsity of society, its inconsistencies and its shames. As the name implies, it is the abode of artificiality, of pretence, or vain striv- ings but in all these things it only ! portrays what is so often a true con- ) dition of the society devotee. Amid these surrounds developes an amazing character—a beautiful woman whose experiences are so startling, so interest compelling, that her strange course of conduct is intensly baffling until the dramatic denoument. The Tri- angle will offer their two youthful co-stars Mae Marsh and Robt. Harron in “The Little Liar”. This is the story of a little boarding house who is con- sidered thoroughly bad because she insists on telling her dreams aloud to her friends. Rcbt. Harron plays the part of a newspaper reporter in this feature, a reporter without note- book or pencil. The added attraction for these two days will offer the pa- trons of this popular play house the Mr. William Fox Feature “The Two Orphan’s”, featuring Theda Bara and an all star cast headed by William E. Shea and Jean Southern. This fea- ture has had such wide publicity on the speaking stage that a description is hardly necessary. In the making of the photoplay great care has been taken to preserve the heart-interest of the spoken piece. The balance of the bill will present the Keystone players in “The Scoundrel's Toll” and the Paramount Newspaper of the screen “The Pictograph”. The performance at this house to-morrow (election day) will be continuous from 2 to 11 p. m. with election returns being given in the evening.

We offer ourselves and our services in the cause of good govern- ment-we are American citizens interested solely in the honor and security of our common country. The only badge we wear is the flag of our forefathers, and our principles and ambitions are theirs, moulded in the fine tra- ditions inspired and glorified by their valor and sacrifice. We uphold and defend that ideal of nations which demands self-respect, and w may ithout which the respect of other nations never be commanded. We maintain that the rights of every citizen are the obliga- tions of all citizens—that each generation must sustain the pride of the Republic. We live to perpetuate for our sons the principles for which our fathers died—we would not be less than our fathers, that our sons may always be their equals.
