SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1917, ' A STORY YOU CAN Huw Cora and David Temple BEGIN AT ANY TIME Solvea Their Marital Problems By ZOE BECKLEY Not many days after the Stedmans’ return to their home and their re- gained love and harmony, Janet was at Her desk in the publishing office 1 of ‘Woman.” Her resignation was in Nicoll’s hands and she wanted to leave everything in order. She was an- | noyed at the interruption of her tele- I phone, “It's Lucy—Lucy Benton,” said the voice on the wire. ‘an you spare me ten minutes, Janet? And of course Janet could, and did. It was with interest and delight that she held out her hand to a quite dif- ferent Lucy than she had ever seen. There was a poise and confidence in her manner that had not Been there before. Lucy was quick and crisp and smiling. Yet there was some- thing back of the smile that spoke of no mere superficlal effusion. Lucy Benton looked somehow victorious. “Janet,”” Lucy began, “take a good dook at me. Am I different?"” “You certainly are. You look as if something splendid had happened to you,” said Janet, eagerly hoping that something had. Lucy winced just a txifle, but con- tinued briskly: ‘‘Well, it does amount to that. I'm going to be married.” She disregarded Janet’s gasp and her gesture of limp astonishment. “It's time,” she went on. that I ac- quired some commonsense. And I thing I've got it at last. I've beep through a hell of torture, Janet, since that—that night. I had either to kill something or let it kill me. We fought it out. And I won.” Janet knew she referred to her love for Walt. She knew with all a woman's”instinct for appraising love that Lucy Benton had indeed won a victory—perhaps the greatest of Yhich human kind is capable. She wanted to take Lucy in her arms, but dared not for fear of a mutual break- down. Tears would have ruined everything. She reached over silent- ly and gripped her hand instead. There was the vestige of a tremor @ebout Lucy's mouth as she went on with, quickened manner. “Funny isn’t it—me married and away from the artist bunch, and all that? Keep- ing a big home for a big man with two big boys? Out in Oregon, too! There was never a time when I didn't know old Tom Haskell. He’s one of those dear, rough, loyal chaps that BY RUTH “Men fear death as if unquestion- ably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the great- est good.” ) The Lady-wholalways-knows-some- how read that quotation aloud to us the other night as we sat around the open fire. “And when one adds to that,” said the Authorman, “that many people claim to be sure that for them, at least, {t does mean the greatest'good, isn’t it strange how universally it is dreaded?” “I'll tell you something,’ said the ‘Wants-to-be-cynic with unwonted ser- iousness, born, I fancy of the union of 'flrqli,zht and Sunday evening “what I'm honestly more afraid of than dying.” “What?” Afraid That He’ll Be Afraid. That sometime I shall be put in a position where I ought to sacrifice my life and that T'll hang back for just a second and it will be too late. T can’t imagine anything worse than that.” “Nor I,” said the Authorman. “T'll wager almost every man has that fear in his heart.” N\ If One Escaped Forever. “It's queer, isn't it,” said the Cynic “when you think of it calmly, that anyone can make such a mistake. If one could avoid death indefinitely, if people never died except by accidents, vou might see how anyone would shrink from such a sacrifice. But when it simply means dying glorious- ly at one time or dishonoring oneseli then and dying ingloriously, ignom- inously forced to it, a few vears later, !ho\\' can there be any choice? They say death is a debt you pay to nature, but if you give your life in some | splendid way it's a gift you make to the world instead. And who wouldn'? rather make a gift than pay a debt?” “Hear, hear,” said the Authorman Daniel come to judgement.” “‘Clut it,”” said the Cynic, “you know | that's the way you feel Why the Young Are So Fearless. “There's one thing,” said the Lad “that always puzzles me, and that | why, as we grow older we grow to dread death and love life more. And vet the young have so much more reason to love life.” ‘“’Cbat's not so hard to understand,” said the Authorman. “The reason ' the young .don’t dread death is be- cause they don’t believe in it,.—for themselves. *“A simple child its breath And feels its life in every limb. What should it know of death?’-" “Hear, hear, said the Cynic. “Oh dear" shuddared Molly, i that lightly draws ar A Hard Row to Hoe fall in love with you when vou're fif- teen and keep on being devoted till you marry, and then take a quiet sneak oft somewhere—mining or something. “Regular story book stuff! Haven't laid eves on him for twelve years. We've—we've both had our troubles since then. And now, just as I am fighting my way through this—this— er—anoying little episode,” Lucy grinned and hurriéd on, “back comes Tom with his eternal offer. . 5 Only this time, Jan, I nearly scared the life out of him by sayving yes. Tell me, do you think marriage can be all right without love?" “I honestly do, Lucy,” answered Janetiearnestly. ‘“When you have re- spect and liking, vou can make a suc- cess of it without love. | Especially, dear, if you have work, too. And you say there's a big house to keep and boys to look after?” Oh, not only that,” sald Lucy, ‘“‘but I'm going on with my drawing just the same. Tom says they have mag- azines out on the Pacific coast that need illustrations and covers just as ours do here. Why, Tom'd let me take in stoops to scrub if T wanted to.

But the hardness of it is saving me. In a couple of years I'll come and visit you—you and Walt. Walt will be; famous by that time, mark my words. The new book’s finished, you know. It's a wonder. . . .

'Women are for Theater - Goers and Women Reader By ADELE As my mother-in-law paused for breath in her tirade against Robert Gordon, the elderly man of mystery, whose admiration for me, as expressed to her, she so strongly resented, Dicky spoke, coldly, judiciously “Is that all you have to say mother?” he asked. e She looked at him in amazement: “Are you lost to all decency that you do not resent such exh-avagxmtl praise and admiration of your \\'\f(‘.; from the lips of another man?” she demanded, and then in the same breath went on rapidly: “But that is not all, What crazy jdea the man has in his head I dl): not know, but he talked largely of : millions, with no one to leave them to, of Margaret’s being the only link be- tween him and the friends he loved so dearly in his youth, and of his desire to see her take the place in the world to which she is entitled. Whether he means to turn over some of his millions to her now, or will them to her at his death I do mnot know.” g “Of course that is utter nonsense,” said Dicky frowning. ‘“You must have misunderstood him, mother.” “I did nothing of the kind!" re- torted my mother-in-law. “And I certainly did not misunderstand him when he wanted to know the date of your return, and Margaret's favorite flowers, and all that vet, so he could | get one of the private rooms of the Sydenham, have it decorated with her favortte fl rs and colors, and give a supper Party there to welcome her home.” 5 “What!” Dicky exclaimed, and al- though I did not speak, T was equally astonished at the vagaries of this mysterious man, Dicky Not Wholly Displeased. “I thought that would astonish you, Richard!”’ my mother-in-law returned, with a grim, triumphant smile. “You know now why I left the Sydenham without waiting for your return. I could not stand the man’s wild talk any longer, 1 felt that it was an insult to you.to remain where I could gee him.” As she closed with a virtuous sniff cloquent of a painful duty well per- formed, Dicky threw back his head and laughed loudly. Both his mother and T gazed open-mouthed at him, but while she was evidently horror- stricken at his temerity, my heart | leaped with relief that he was taking her revelations without the anger I recognized now as an asset and not {a liability in wartime.

Sothern, and Tdith Storey, the versatile star, is Mr. Sothern’s owa choice of the play which he wished to make immortal. The story, which takes place at the time of the trouble between the Cath- olics and the Huguenots in France while ¥Henry IlI reigned, calls for a | number of fencing scenes, in which Mr. Sothern partigipates. ( These scenes are correct to the mi- nutest detail, for this worid-renowned star is a master in the art of fencing and superintended the directing of these scenes as well as taking part. The swords are the pattern used during the reign of Henry ITI, and the methods employed at that time are also shown. Mr. Sothern offers sev- eral examples of clever shieldine and defense which are sure to arouse the utmost enthusiasm on the part of his audience. This celluleid immortalization live for years to come and find place at the lead of film n.asterni for it gives to the mass the favori characterization of on~ of the greates: actors the world has ever recognized. Fdith Storey, who plays wita Mr Sothern in this produetion, has a role remarkably fitted to her type, and one would think the part created for her benefit, so aptly does she carry each and every scene.

But when' you feel it in- cumbent upon you again to defend my honor, don't take it to heart quite so tragically. That poor old duffer at the Sydenham doesn't mean any harm. As near as I can find out he must have been head over heels in love with Madge's mother when she was a girl. And I am sure I don’t wonder at him if Madge looks as much like her mather as the old boy says she does.” He stopped to blow me a kiss, which I returned regardless of the icy look With which my mother-in-law was re- garding me. “Of course, he's probably getting into his dotage when he talks about leaving his money to Madge, but his private supper party wasn't such a bad idea. In fact, I don’t know but I would have enjoved that muyself. 1f the lonesome old chap wants to spend some of his extra mazuma giving parties for Madge because she looks like her mother I don't know as I have any kick coming.” Madge Refuses to Explain. How grateful I was to Dicky for this little speech he will never know, T knew that he distinctly did not relish his mother’s revelations concerning the elderly millionaire’'s extravagant admiration of me, and his extraordin- ary plans for my entertainment and future. But he had kept his real thoughts to himself, and had ranged himself against his mother for my sake, Her next words shattered all the relief § had felt at Dicky's champion- ship of Mr. Gordon, ‘‘Richard you are less!” she snapped. “The man may have been in love with Margaret's mother, I do not doubt that he was, but have wou never heard of such men falling in love with the daughters, of the women they once loved hape- lessly 2" “Don’t make the poor man out a potential Mormon, mother!” Dicky jibed. i “Jeer at your old mother if you wish, Richard,” his mother went on icily, “but let me tell you that Mu, | Gordon i: madly in love with Margaret and if you do not look out yvou will have a scandal on your hands. “You are going at bit too far in your excitement, mother,” Dicky sald sternly. “You may not realize it, but you are insinuating that there might be a possibility of Madge's returning the man’s admiration.”” “I am not insinuating anything.™ his mother weturned, white-lipped with anger, “but I certainly think Margaret owes both you and me an explanation of the untruth she told us at the perfectly hope- | must say in my absence. e Suffragists Place Themselves REVELATIONS OF At the Government’s Disposal GARRISON supper table the night vou introduced , Mr. Gordon to us.” 1 sprang to my feet with my cheeks afire. “Mother Graham, I have listened to you with respect as long as I can,” I exclaimed. ‘‘Whatever else you havp - to say to my husband about me you ¢ 1t he at any time wishes an explanation of any action of mine he has only to ask me forat." ! ADVANCE SALE FOR NOVEL PLAY HEAVY Winding up the busiest week at the Lyceum since the Walter Naylor players came to New Britain the per- formance of “The Misleading Lady” tonight is expected to draw forth an audience that will tax to the utmost« the capacity of the house. Every line of this play is a leader for better things to follow until the curtain drops on a scene that is novel in play construction. Miss Virginia Perry in the leading role plays the part of a i fickle young lady who does not know her own mind,” who flirts with all & men, who makes each one believe she loves them, Who plays ¢ne against the other. In essaying to play the leading roles in a play written by a guest at the same house party she i attending this falr young malden succeeds in adding one complication to another until she drives the object of her wiles to desperation. He kid- naps her. After a wild ride in an automobile she finds Therself im, prisoned in a mountain hunting lodge, chained to the wall, her admiret faunting her, and her friends on a wild search for her deliverance. It ig at the hunting lodge that the really strange character in the play is in- troduced. ‘‘Boney,” an escaped lun- atic who imagines he is Napoleon, has taken possession of the lodge even be- fore the maid and the man arrive. Ralph Murphy plays this character. Philip Quin is cast in the role of the gentle abductor. Next week the Walter Naylor play- crs will attempt their most elaborate production since opening in stock at the Lyceum. *The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” the play written by Eugene Waltor from ‘characters drawn by John Fox, Jr., who 'also wrote “The Little Shepard of King- dom Come,” will be the attraction. As the beautiful girl, June, Miss . Vir-, ginia Perry will have her greatest chance at character portrayal. Miss Perry, a native of Virginia, knows the people who inhabit the Blue }Rldsg mountaing’ It is in such a setting that June was found by Johkn Fox, Jr. She * is true;to life, and Miss Perry wilt have no difficulty in presenting a peft fect picture of this character. The southern dialect comes natural to the ieadimg lady of the Naylor players aznd will be greatly appreciated by all those who have earned to” know ity lilt. Miss Dorothea Antel has also L:een cast in a role which promises her ample opportunity to display those charms of acting which endeara her to audiences in other cities. Wal- ter Naylor, whose artistic touch 18 noticeable in all the stage settings Qs B the Lyceum, promises to live up to | his reputation as a producer of dis- tinction and give as ideal presenti- tion of “The Trail of the Loneséme Pine.” The popularity of the play is attested by the jgreat number "ot advance orders for seats Monday night. o i NAVASSAR GIRLS TO SAY ADIEU TONIGHT Although capacity sudiences have been the rule'at Keeney's all we!k. \ there arc probably some people -in the city. who have not attended. of the performances given this v% They should visit the playhouse o night when the last opportunity .ot hearing the concert of the Sixteen Na- Vassar girls will be given.
