A STORY YOU OAN How Cora and David Temple BEGIN AT ANY TIME Her Side---and His Solved Their Marital FProblems By ZOE BECKLEY “The Power to Dear Girl: What an illuminating ex- perience it is to be away the first time from one’s other self. Here wa I, sure that I was a self-starter in my daily life, independent of any one for comfort, advice a™l care of my innards and out'ards. And so I was, up to a few months ago when I mar- ried you. But now-— I was awakened this morning by an infernal buzzing in the kitchen. I had Keard that buzzing before, I sup- pose, although it never before pene- trated my thoughts. I had a vague memory of you stirring every morn- ing in answer to that buzzing; some muffled words down the dumb-watier shaft—and some necessary nuisan of a chore was performed, I suppose. But this morning I realized that buz- zer was wired to my ear drum. T had to do something about it. I did not know a thing what to do; and want- ed to know less. T tried to ignore it, but the darn thing lost its temper and declared it would keep up buzzing all winter. So 1 had to get up and ask it what the simp blank it wanted. | It seems that the Jjanitor insisted | on my sending some meat down or the butcher wanted to send some gar- I forget which—there were several buzzings. I couldn’t think of the first thing to do, so T longed for vou and swore at the man below. It was not his swearing up at me in re- turn I minded as much as his being right and my being wrong, as 1t proved. Then T remembered the typewritten list of instructions you left pinned up on the door of the dumbwaiter. After that everything was plain sailing un- til Katie came in and took the house off my head. Both before I remembered that list and after, T realized how much I had learned to depend upon you for little inconsidered things that very quickly make themselves the clamoring nui- sances of life, is left unconsidered I read my morning paper as usual | on the train and tore half a dozen clippings out and stuffed them in my pockets as per habit to read to you at night—things in the day's news I wanted your assistance in swearing See Ourselves” bered you would not be home to see them tonight. So I send them with this letter. ! You would imagine I'd forget you as soon as I struck the office. But for some reason, more things came up in the copy I was writing on which I wanted your opinion that ever before. The woman point of view. Gosh, I never till today realized how much this civilization of ours depends on the woman. So T am sending you the enclosed advertisement, with a pe- tition of your comment on the marked paragraphs. I plugged hard all day and felt pretty fagged. The thought of a quiet little dinner at home, with you bust- ling about in the kitchen and nothing for me to do but make the salad dressing, seemed good to me—while the thought lasted. I took dinner ant. Hitherto, Tony Pagani, with Ma Pagani's won- derful ravioli and broiled chicken, and the little half-portion fireplace by the side of our table, and the gang dropping in. Never did I think of it as “‘restaurant.” Tonight it was worse than restaurant; it seemed a lunch- room with marble morgue floor and pay-as-yvou-exit attendance. How could your trig little presence have hidden all this from me before to- night about Pagani’s restaurant? You know, before my train was out of the station of Hill Farms yesterday 1 felt I wanted you to be golng back with me. It seemed such a perfectly bromidic reaction that I swore I would not follow it up with the usu- al “you-don’t-know-how-I-miss-you- dear!” kind of letter. T haven't writ- ten anything of the kind,-have 12 T am asking because I am afraid to re. read this letter lest T find that I have not written once “I miss you'; so it must be that I don't! But— I want you to fill your letter as full of yourself as I have filled this one with myself. Tell me of every breath vou breathe, every thought you think, every nice thing you do for people about you—I can just see you doing them! I want to have you as near me as writing can bring one. For while T don’t miss you, I “could do” very at Pagani's the place me restaur- ant funny at; your woman's point of view; and what on earth is ‘“mole-dved kit coney,” Then I stuffed the last them into my vest pocket I remem- of | well with the feel of my arms about vou.

And T liked her the better for it. Ivery man (and woman) is divid ed into two selves, the self that doesn’t want to do the things it ought, and the selft that wants them done. The self that wants them done is the master, or should be. In too many of us it is only the master in name, a master who weakly suggests that this or that ought to be done, but doesn’t insist upon it. The Sclf That Wants to Dream When One Should Think.

Perrin BIG HOUSE LAUDS “THE RED WIDOW” Never since they made their debut have the members of the Musical stock received a more generous recep- did mid-week perform- ance of “The Red Widow.” A large audience, in a mood for fun, had its appetite for laughter satisfled and crowded houses will probably be result for the remaindér of the week as news travels fast. Walter Wills, in the role of Cicero Hannibal Butts, of Yonkers, where his corset facto located, had his au- dience holding on to the sides of the seats. His delineation of the giddy American temporarily detached from home ties was his best work of season. Miss Georgia Campbell makes a striking “Red Widow," queen of the Nihilists, whose single aim is to re- move from its earthly dwelling soul of the czar. One of the real features of the week is the dancing of Miss Leona Court- ney, who makes the most of her first opportunity to demonstrate her grace and versatility. Miss Courtney is a genuine “butterfly girl” and is to be congratulated se- curing her name to a contract. Miss Courtney is ably ed this week by Lee Daly. William Meehan chief of police; George Bogues as the soldier of the czar; ag the secret service man; Ralph Sip- perly, as the brains of the plot to kill the emperor—all contribute to a per- formance that establishes beyond doubt the ability of the Lyceum Players. Sunday night Anita Stewart will be shown in “The Combat,” nine reels of thrills, at the Lyceum theater. e Combat” is an Ince production and that is all that's necessary to about it.

As the man turned and climbed the bank quickly, Mrs. Allis drew her in- evitable knitting from a beaded she carried on her arm, and seating herself at the foot of the gigantic oak began to knit as composedly as if that were the sole object of her life.
