A STORY ¥OU OAN BEGIN AT ANY 1TIME Her Side--and His How Cora and David Temple Solved Their Marital Froblema By ZOE BECKLEY Druging . the Mind With Work Action—departure from home, the railway journey and the excitement of new surroundings—had so occupied Janet Stedman's mind that she had little chance to realize her new out- look. Her first stop was a city four hours from New York, where she was to speak before a woman’s club. Her work had been laid out for her. Roy Nicoll had seen that interest in herself and her subject had been well aroused, and that the assistance of committees and individuals awaited her. It was not until Janet made ready for bed the night before her first address that a reaction set in. A sudden mental picture of Walt, of her home, of Nicoll, of the office, spread before her, banishing sleep. Try as she would, Janet's vision strained into the darkness toward her husband. Where was Walt? What was he doing? With whom was he and under what circumstances? Was he thinking of her? Missing her? Or was he content with his freedom, for- getful of all else? No, not of all else, for there was Lucy. He could not be forgetful of Lucy because she was his partner in work, and work was life to Walt. ‘Work, work, work! That must be her life, too, Janet realized. And now and love so far out of reach, she be- gan to questfen whether work was, after all, a panacea. To a woman, anyhow. Then to the office flew Janet's thoughts and, via the office, to Nicoll. ‘What was she to do about Nicoll? And exactly what was the problem he was bringirg into her life Soon or late, Janet knew she must face—some- thing? She had not heretofore al- lowed herself to analyze just what. Yet now, of all times when she pas- sionately wished to be free for the business in hand, the torment of her tangled life-threads must urge itself ‘The more she tried to stop thinking and woo sleep the further sleep re- treated. The panic-feeling that over- takes the human mind in the night- Yet in the morning work was await- ing her! She must be in condition to meet it. She niust be. At last, she ceased fighting against sleeplessness. And, in the relaxation that followed, she actually fell asleep. Janct awoke late and had to hur- ry to keep her engagement at the Wo- men’s City club. All her reserve force went into action, putting her success- fully through the ordeal. At least no one knew at what expense to her ner- vous system the charming Mrs. Sted- man, of New York, editor of “Wo- man,” maintained her poise, her ani- mation, her grasp of subject and her smiling acknowledgement of the re- ception that followed her talk. Jan- et's appearance at the City club was a fair illustration of woman’'s endur- ance and will power. When it was over and she was in her hotel room again she sought the usual woman's refuge—tears and tea. Despite her triumph, Janet spent another racking night. When at last she slept, it-was to dream Incessantly of Walt and Lu in a complex maze of events which when morning came Janet couldn’t even remember. Iier itinerary called for a journey of seven hours to the next city on her route. A delegation of well-meaning ladies saw her off at the station and hoped she could make another visit on her return trip. Her return trip! Janet sat limply in her pullman chair and thought of the ordeal she must pass through before there was a “‘return trip.”” City after city. Hurry and more hurry. The constant strain of speaking from plat- forms and of chatting to individuals afterward. The never-varying need for concentration. Instead of beckon- ing alluringly to Janet, her ambition seemed suddenly transformed into a goading force, relentless, pursuing. Her thoughts, moreover, would not stay upon her work but kept turning backward to her home and her hus- band. She began to see that if her speaking trip was to be kept from hu- miliating failure, she must throw oft these obsessions and cleave whole- heartedly to the work in hand. ‘watches, when cold and darkness drag resistance to lowest ebb, gripped Jan- et now. Her body seemed one bun- dle of pulling, twitching nerves. Her eyes would not close, her ears could not stop out a thousand little, peck- ing noises that came from nowhere and everywhere. When Janet reached her hotel a thick letter and a telegram awaited her, both from Nicoll. The letter she laid aside to read later. The unpunc- tuated telegram said: ‘‘Splendid work proud of you am coming on business meet you this evening your city. R. Nicoll.” -lsu) TIs there anything harder than keep- ing your mind on your work just be- fore a holiday, especially a big one like Christmas:or a summer vaca- tion?” a friend of mine asked me just before Christmas. 1 agreed with her then that noth- ing could be harder than keeping one's mind chained down those last few days. But since Christmas I have! changed my mind. I have remem- bered that there is something even harder,—putting one’s mind back to work after a holiday season. It should be 80 much easier to go to work after a few days’ rest! And it is so much more difficult! Your Mind Is Like a Sick Child Who Has Been Spoiled. One’s mind is utterly unmanage- able. It has been indulged and spoiled. It turns distastefully from everyday tasks.

The longer and more important the holiday season the harder it is to go to work again. 3 | After a holiday like Thanksgiving | one usually loses a day getting back into the routine of work. Getting Down ORf That Excitement. After the Christmas holids it talkes at least two or three days to, get down off the peak of excitement, | get the reaction over with and get into the work-a-day mood again, And after a summer vacation,— well sometimes 1 think I will never take another because work seems so much harder when 1 get back. of course that is sheer may make the days direc \ them harder but they make the long run easier. You may feel a great lassitude in the weelk following your vacation but after you get over the lassitude you will begin to feel a new endurance, —that is if it was the right kind of a vacation. The Good Effects Come Tater. | T had a better vacation than usual last year,—more outdoors and more of it, T mean. Tt was very hard to get to work afterwards but this win- ter T am feeling the good effects in many ways, For one I need a little less sleep. Queer, isn't it, how we human be- ings shrink from work. And yet| without work we would be miserable. | Have you not noticed how those who | are not impelled to work by neces- | sity create obligations for them- selves such as social engagements, | and keep themselves happy by think- ing these are things they have to do? | Peak of for Theater Goers and Wom “LEAH KLESCHNA” AN EXCEPTIONAL WOMAN There is perhaps no play on the American stage today possessing the same intrinsic dramatic qualifications as those set forth in the five-act drama, ‘“Leah Kleschna,” presented this week at the Lyceum by the Wal- ter Naylor player: Surely there is none on the bogrds now that contains | such intense moments, such powerful situations. “Leah Kleschna,” aside = from its dramatic value, contains a story that is of more than human interest. ‘Written in novel form it commanded the attention of the literary. world. | Its author, C. M: S. McClellan, took a story from actual life in Paris, wove it about With an atmosphere of contrasts, .and clothed it in absorbing interest. | There is food for thought in the play, “Leah Kleschna.” 1In the title role, Miss Virginia Perry has the one big opportunity of her career in New Britain. Supporting her, Philip Quin is seen in a role ideally adapted to. his style of acting. These two form the strongest contrasts in the play, the man raised in all the refine- ment of Parisian aristocracy, the | woman born and bred to the life .of o great city’s underworld. That there should be a strong attraction be- tween two such persons is but the in- evitable working of the law of op- posites. Orrin Burke as the cleverest thief in all Paris, as the villianous father of “Leah,” is seen in a type of old-time character acting that does the Reart good. Ralph Murphy, al- terhate! leading man of the = Navlor players, has a part somewhat differ- ent from his usual work; but he plays it with the finesse of 6ne born to the life. : | JOHN BARRYMORE IN PHOTOPLAY LEADER John Barrymore, one of the most popular stars in the legitimate and a film notable of recognized, abilit is to be seen on the screen at Keeney's during the last half of this week in “Nearly A King,’ a Paramount re- lease that is receiving wide attention. The picture has made a big hit in the metropolitan centers and it starts on the circuif this week. The leader' of the program tonight is Anna Held in “Madame La Presi- | dente,” a Parisian society drama. The play in its picturized form has been well received by the Keeney audi- ences during the past two days Topping the vaudeville bill Magda Dahl and Signor Constantini leading a band of Italian mus ans. Mlle. Dahl is a talented singer and her part of the program is mighty entertain- ing.

Nantucket, Jan. 31.—The steamer Tampico, which left Beston last night for Newport News, ran ashore on the southerly end of Great Point Rip, off Nantuckeet early today. *The Coskata coast guard crew boarded the steamer and reported that she was leaking slightly, but in no immediate danger.

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipat tion, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom- ach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well- known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins . well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ybowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimen- tary tract, before putting more food into the stomach. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a soyrish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your-sys- tem of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac- cumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, | cleansing, sweetening and purifying, | S0 limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. LS
