I love books. clothes average mine? I love out-of-doors. I know that friendship and love, tranquil mind, an uncovetuos ciation of beauty wherever humanity, in art, or nature, and an altrulstic interest in the world's brogress are the realities of life. I know that clothes are not onc of the vital realities. I know that if T can wear becoming, clothing, that is about.

Or, I meet women to whom pretty and fashionable clothes are the impor- tant things of life. And as if I had been exposed to a contagion, I catch the ‘fever of the desire for pretly things and all that my mind says forgotten. The Thought of Clothes Intrudes on Everything.

It explained my consequences with which she had staged the attempt Yo steal the pic- tures and the half-mocking defiance with which she had greeted our dra- matic discovery of her plan. The woman’s insolence and tri- umph were almost more than 1 could bear, although I was but a compara- tive onlooker of the tragedy. For tragedy it was. hours before Mrs. Cosgrove had voiced to me her joy in Dicky's revelation that the pictures in her parlor, painted years before by her brother, TRobert Savarin, were worth at least$50,000. tragedy of that brother, who for many vears had been mentally unbalanced and hidden from the world and cared | for by her and her family, She had been so pathetically grate- ful for the assurance I had given her that her conviction of her brother's returning sanity was well founded, had builded such high hopes for future, with only one shadow darken- ing the rosy dream—_that of the oxist- ence somewhere in the world of the woman who had married TRobert Savarin and ruined him.

The picture is regarded as one of great importance as it marks the scor- ing of a single triumph by Pauline Trederick, one of the world’s most celebrated actresses. Miss Frederick makes a most pronounced hit in the production. She has a role fitting her like a glove and she acts the part admirably. The picture is expected {to be a big addition to her long list | of screen achievements. Tonight's program will be headlined by “The Call Of The Lumberlands,” | with Dustin Farnum playing the lead. This picture has been extreme- ly popular with the city’s ‘*movie” | devotees who have been taxing the capacity of the theater during the last two days. TFarnum admirers who have not seen it should be on hand this cvening when it is to be shown for the last time in New Britain. As the beginning of the week of January 22 approaches the ‘“movie” fans are becoming restless in anticipa- | tion of an opportunity to see the | sensational film, “War Brides,” in which Nazimova is to be scen. The film is booked for Keeney's for next week and it will be shown at every performance for days, according {o the plans of the management, There is a good vaudeville bill of- fered every night. “THE GREAT SECRET” ON FOX'S SCREEN One of the biggest shows of the season is in at Fi today and to- morrow and a large crowd attended the first matinee to see the Francis Bushman and Beverly Bayne Se- A feature of this kind running from week to week is bound to be a big attraction as many will wish to follow it through the entire run of fifteen weeks so all are anxious to see the first chapter and form their opinion of the story. .

She ht her face in the curtains of the win- dow, pretending to be looking out. Walt was racked with pity. He went to her and took her gently by the arm. “Listen, Lucy little woman—!"
