In spite of himself he could not help thinking of his situation and Janet's. Though she had declined Roy Nicoll’s magnificent offer of the editorship of “Woman,” Walt knew that the battle betyeen Roy Nicoll and himself for Janet was only postponed. Indeed, Walt felt it his duty to urge his wife to accept Roy's offer, although it meant the active beginning of the grim struggle between the two men. Walt had foreseen the struggle and was anxious to close in. He knew, in fact, that the contest was on even then, whether Janet was working for Nicoll or not. Nicoll's offer of life, sponsibility, attractive reward and power had been made. Janet knew just what it would bring her. Wheth- er she accepted it eventually or not, she would not be able to keep her mind from comparing what Nicoll of- fered with what Walt offered, What would Walt be able to offer as his bid? The ultimate answer to that lay with the fates which had bestowed on him whatever of talent and character he had as a writer. If talent was hi he would win out against Nicoll's money. But what if he should fail— if he could not support himself with his writing? Would Janet's love be equal to clinging to a failure? Already her love for him was taxed, he felt. Women have always been so used to looking to their men for fi- nancial support that the ability to furnish a woman with home, clothes, food and comforts has become the measure of a man’s worth in the eyes of most people. He was letting Janet work for her own living! It was true that Janet demanded it as a right; that she had always assurd him she thought not a whit less of him for letting her share the expenses of their home. But what was her. real feeling, down in the depths of her heart, unplumbed even by her own searchings? Did it sap a little that fundamental admiration activity, re- Dollars and Love ~ rof a man which lies close to the heart of a. woman’s love for him? Walt writhed on his bed with agony of determination that he would suc- ceed and end the need for such gues- tioning. He fell upon his writing with the passion of a man swimming for his life. It was not the method of a man who coddles his talent. When his mind balked, as it sometimes did, Walt flayed it and forced it to do his will. Sometimes it did; sometimes he only shattered his nerves in a vain assault on a temporarily exhausted i body and mind. Some of his writings sold. them came back again and again. With each rejection Janet supplied the cheer and encouragement which the rejection slip took away. As with most beginners Walt's progress was slow. His little bank account, out of which went half of the household ex- penses, dwindled. Walt watched Janet sharply for signs of the effect on her. He thought he saw subtle differences as the re- sult of the slow progress he was making. Before they were married she used to say to him: “Walf, you know so much, I stand absolutely in awe of your mind! Its bigness frightens me.” Walt would reply with a laugh: “When you come to know it better you won't feel that same way about itr Now that she had seen story after story of his come back rejected how did she feel about it? Certainly she no longer told him she stood in awe of his mind. Often she disputed his judgment even on things of which he was supposed to know more than she, on his own specialty. At first Walt only missed the flattery to his mind which her former attitude paid. Now he caught himself wondering: If she as less in awe of his mind what other change was there in her feel- ing toward him? Then cne day when she came home from the office, she sald: “Walt, my positioh with David Temple ends next week!’ a More of Honor to Whom “It isn’t fair to bring children into the world when you can’t do any more for them than she can,” I heard a woman say yvesterday. One often hears that sort of thing. And to my mind it has some justifi- action TF—and thereby hangs my tale. If “not doing any more for them than she can” means that they will lack for food or clothing or a rea- sonable education or a decent herit- age of health and charaoter, I agree that there is some reason for the statement. Though one feels less certain about even that, when one thinks what children so handicapped have sometimes accomplished. A Wicked Thing to Say, But if ‘“not doing any more them than she can” means what did in this case, it is a foolish, most wicked statement. These parents are people of refine- ment in rather narrow circumstances. The mother looks after her three children herself and does her own work. The children must wait on themselves, must find their own amusement and generally develop self-reliance. The oldest hoy earns money by doing errands, the oldest girl has to do her share of the house- for it al- Honor Is Due. pick up his own toys. Let’s Look At The Credit Side. Now for the credit side: They have enough to eat and warm, reasonably attractive clothing. Their mother can always find time to love and talk with them.' They never go to bed without hearing a story from father or mother. No educational oppor- tunity is missed for them, for some- how their wonderful mother con- trives to find means for such things. They will probably go through high school and possibly farther. To my mind that is a picture not of an unfortunate, but of an almost ideal childhood. What Are The Realities? And to say that it isn't fair to call a child into it, is to say that luxuries and pampering and superficial com- forts are the realities, and character and education and refinement do not count. One thing I don't deny—that it's hard on the mother. The child's is wrestea for him out fibre of her being. Pity the mother if you will, but not the child. And vet you have no right to pity her. She's too wonderful for that. Honor her, rather. Never will you more truly give “Honor to whom work, and even the littlest hoy must honor is due.” ey iy Menu for 'E‘omorro'v"v—} Breakfast Fruit Boiled Eggs Pulled Bread Coffee !

In a few words, “The Gingerbread Man” is the last say and large audiences daily are endorsing this ovinion.

Wayne, Ind. 3 SERIAL STAR IN BIG FILM FEATURE Edna Mayo, who achieved great prominence in ‘“The Strange Case of Mary Page,” is to share the place of distinction of the Keeney program during the last half of the current week. She will make an appearance in the great drama, “The Return of Eve.” The play is said to be one of the most stirring features released in a number of weeks. It should prove a big attraction and the Keeney management Is anticipating large audiences during the next three days. Charlie Chaplin continues to be a powerful magnet in this city. His latest comedy success, “In the Rink, is attracting immense crowds every da; It is the funniest film produc- tion in which Chaplin has been seen and it is witnessed by laughing au- diences wherever it is shown. The picture will be kept here for the bal- ance of the week because of its popu- larity. Mabel Nestor's birds are also prov- ing popular. In Miss Nestor's col- lection are a number cf tropical birds of beautiful plumage. The young lady has succeeded in training them to do a number of things and their tricks are most interestingly per- formed. O'Dor’s dogs are different from the usual canine act and the act in which they appear is making a pronounced hit. Tt is particularly popular with the children. The Ronda brothers have an acrobatic specialty that finds favor daily. VALESKA SURATT ON FOX’S SCREEN | § i | That the five cent matinees are | growing in popularity at Fox's thea- ter is proved by the capacity crowds that have frequented the playhouse during the current week and owing to the great number of children who have attended the matinees during their vacation from school the man- ager of the theater announced today that the price of children’s tickets at the Saturday matinee will be reduced to five cents to enable the young {folks to see the hig show at Fox on their Saturday afternoon holiday each week. So beginning Saturday of | the present weel the price of admi at the matinee will | b Ic i n | i slon to children | be five cents. { There have been a number of ! { changes in the Fox theater program | during the past week. A flrst class orchestra has been added to the show and the new management promises | that other surprises are in store for | the Fox patrons in the very near fu- ! ture, | Miss Valeska Suratt in the absorb- | ing drama, “The Victim,” a Tox | production ,is the headline feature in | the show tonight. In “The Vietim” |} Miss Suratt plays a part something unusual for her hut she has never been cast to a better advantage. In 5\ the part of the girl who suffers for | jher father’s wrong doing, Miss Su- ratt shows her greatest dramatic abil- ity “The Trapper” continues to hold the center of the stage regardless of the other change of program and this popular local feature will remain in the show for the balance of the pres- ent week, closing Saturday night. Tomorrow and Saturday, Triangle presents Miss Bessie Barriscale in “A Corner in Colleens,” a romance of ! Treland in five acts, written by Gard- ner Sullivan. a w 1 o ir a @ a h h h b a Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach e diseased portion of the ear.
