Megantic. En Route for Tother Side. Dear Janet—Forgive me sailing without a formal good-by to you, will you? And accept my apologies for not answering your dear, fine letter. You see, you took s0 much off my mind by sticking to the job that I just rose up like a balloon set joose. Theréd was the Meguntic sailing right away. Here ‘was I anxious for a holiday. So I just slid out. B i Things began to happen as soon as 1 got on board. One of the Belgian re- lief commission made me accept an appointment on the staff. That means mountains of necessary, absorbing, hu- mane work. T'll send you several ar- ticles on the work for the magazine. A submarine chased us. Nearly a whole day we lived in our life belts and hung around the lifeboats. It helped to pass the time away. A Dutch,capitalist made me a prop- osition for the rights to a Holland edition of our magazine. We're wrest- ing now for terms.. I think I'll l&nd him with his shoulders to the mat. T'll cable when I've closed the deal, and will write immediately after. Cargan, the buyer for the most ex- clusive importers in America, is on his way to Paris to bring back the latest Tonight and Saturday. Mary Pickford in “LESS THAN THE DUST” in fashions for the wives of our multi- milllonaires. I commissioned@ him to write for us what the Parisian women of average means are wearing. Miss Helen Garvin, a regular good fellow, besides being one of the best newspaper correspondents in the game is going to visit the prison camps of warring countries for a newspaper syn- dicate. I've arranged to have her do work for us at the same time. You see, Janet, I am already full up with things to do and think of every minute of my waking time. It will be still worse when I set foot on shore.

' ‘he general committee sent word it has received urances - to 5. eftect from- all the+: belligerent. ocoupying Poland. committee | I find that I've taken on more work Janet I almost forgot to reply to your let- ter, which I seem, in my rush of de- parture and frenzy of new enterprise, to have mislaid. ButN\ remember your saying something about keeping up friendship. Great Boott, yes, and again ves! By the way, sketched to me the outline of a serial story she has placed with an agent. I think so well of the idea that I am asking you to give it your earliest con- sideration when it comes to you, as it will next week. If you cable me that it’s all right, I'll close in with her on this side. I am to meet her from time to time during her trip. How far away in time and space seems New York and all that went with it only six days ago! Although we are still a day away from the con- tgent aiready the shadow of a world of war has envaloped us. One's own affalrs become so dwarfed in import- ance beforo these millions upon mil- lions of supreme tragedies we. are nearing. One feels shamefaced to think how much this or that turn of affairs troubled one back in that lana of peace. Tomorrow when I arrive where death now wears the most fa- millar aspect and mutilated survival is the greater tragedy, any personal concern short of these ill seem even more trifling. Let me hear'from tims to time how you and Walt are getting along. The office will send me weekly reports of the magazine. f By the way, will you get hold of some of Miss Garvin's work and send me samples of {t? S8incerely and always wishes, with best ROY NICOLL. “He is already forgetting me!"” Janet whispered to herself, her eyes shining with glaliness. “I hope Miss Garvin thi I can do in an ordinary day. And ‘I'm Supposed to be on vacatibn! is good enough for him!" she added with just a touch of wistfulness. SIDE TALKS BY RUTH So Why We have a new by-word in our fam- i1y circle. It ,was supplied by the little who lives around the corner. Her mother told us the story. little girl is five and even more cun- ‘ning than that, of itself, implies. I'rom the moment she wakes up in . the morning until the moment she drifts away Into dreamland at night, she throws off quaint, delightful, little re- actions on life like sparks from a pin- wheel. One Little Girl Didn’t Know What God-bless Meant. The one in question came just be- fore that last moment of drifting off. She was saying her prayers. She had | saild the immortal prayver of childhood and added the immortal petition to “bless Papa and Mama and make me a good girl” (by the way, another lit- tle girl who had been repeating these same petitions for a year or so startled me one night by asking what ‘God- Bless' meant, an interesting commen- tary on the way thelittle folk repeat the sounds we tell them to say with- out knowing half the time what they mean). ® “Is that all?” eaid har mother. Miss Five-Years has a way of adding pray- ers of her own inveniion. I'm No Happier When I Whine. “No,” she sald, “There's some miore tonight.’” And then she went on, «“Please, God, keep me from whining. Im no happier when I whine, so why whine?” And that, as you may guess, girl is our g family by-word. ‘Was ever the philosophy of life bet- ter expressed in a nutshell? Did ever wise man say more in so few words than this baby? Again and agaln we find it coming to our lips,—usually, of course, for some one else’s benefit. Such is human nature! BETTER THAN CALAEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the sub- stitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re- sult of Dr. Edwards’ determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. 30 do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets take. its place. s Most headaches, “dullness” and that 1azy ‘feéling come from constipation and a disordered fiver. Take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets when you feel “loggy” and “lieavy.” Note how they “clear” clouded brain and how they “perk up” the spfir- The ! OCAMERON Whine? Some one worries unnecessarily. . “Oh, Lord, keep me from worrying. :I’'m no happier when I worry, so why | worry?” says some one else. I'm No Happier When I'm Cross" One housemate lets herself be irrit- able. ' “‘Oh, Lord, keep me from being cross. I'm no happier when I'm cross, 8o why be cross?” suggests the one who has been scolded. . So simple, and so profound! Common sense and the secret happiness wrapped up together! And all out of the mouth of a hahy. Perhaps you will be glad to know that we have no copyright on this. You may have it, too. Better still, do more than that! Pass it along. of TWO BIG FEATURES ATTRACT TO KEENEY'S Large crowds continue to enjoy daily the big film features and the vaudevi]le attractions at Keeney's and the capacity of the theater is being taxed every evening. Numhered among the big offerings of the week 18 Mary Pickford in the $800,000 photoplay, “Less Than the Dust.”” This is the most wonderful screer drama is which the dainty lit- tle actress has appeared and .t delights her many admirers. It {8 an extra feature of high merit and it has prov- en a big box-office winner during the week. The Pickford film is not, however, the only big photoplay offering. [or lonight and tomorrow the manage- ment offers the Paramount feature, “Out of the Drifts,” Marguerite Clark starring. Leading the vaudeville performers this week is Corse Payton, one of the country’s best known actors, who I3 n.w appearing with Edna May Spoon- er «nd other capable assoc.ates in Wi lard Mack’s clever drarmmtic sketch, “Don’t Weaken.” Mr. Payton has been well recejved all week. STEP LIVELY TO GRAND THEATER Manager D. D. Scullen believes this week's attraction, “Step Lively Glrls,” at the Grand theater is notable for more features than generally are roasted by a burlesque production. Aside from the clever comedy work, the singing and dance numbers and the elaborate scenic effects, the show carries one of the prettiest choruses in hurlesque. Features of the “Step Lively Girls,”” are the Carlo, the beach at San Diego the corset shop number. The come- dians, Rich (Shorty) McAllister and his tall, glim friend, Harry T. Shan- non, give good comedy. Diek Knowles, | Fred Dotson, Tille Cox, Maudie Teath and Mae White are among the jtae_ 105 and 25 3 box, All dryggistsy | PrinCIPY Miss Garvin has RUSH FOR SEATS AT LYCEUM HAS STARTED With the announcement that next week marks the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of the first theatrical perform- ance at the Lyceum has come an av- alanche of orders for seats. All those who witnessed the opening perform- ance of the Lyceum twenty-five years ago are expected to be present on next Monday night. At that time “Diplom- aoy” will be staged. This is the same drama that played at the Lyceum upon the opening night a quarter of & century ago. The Walter Naylor Players plan one of the greatest stock productions ever given in this city. Mr. Naylor in- sists that next week must be an ab- solute reproduction of ‘Diplimocy,” not one detail being omitted. To this end he has secured the script of the play used in revival two years ago by William Gillette. He will cast the members of his company in such a fashlon that will bring them near to the first picture. The part played by Rose Coughlin at the Lyceum a quar- ter of a century ago, Countess Zicka, will be given to Miss Virginia Perry. It is one that demands careful read- ing of lines and at times heavy act- ing. Miss Perry has demonstrated that she is capable of taking good care of the trust imposed in her. Beauclerc, the part always played by ‘Willlam Gillette, will be in the hands of Phillp Quinn than whom there is no“better student and reader of lines in stock. To Ralph Murphy will go the part of Count Orloff, who figures extensively throughout the play, In the revival of “Diplomacy” at the Em- pire theater, New York, two years ago, Marie Doro was cast as Dora, the ingenue lead. Miss Dorothea WAntel, who has once before demonstrated her ability to deplot youthful and inno- cent characters to perfection, will be cast as Dora. Miss Margie Dow will come into her own again next week, as she will have a great character part in the role of the Marquise de Rio- zares. On his trip to New York last week Mr. Naylor secured the services of a Young actor to play the part of Julian in ‘“Diplomacy.” This man is Smythe Wallace. During the rehearsals Mr. Wallace has displayed such adaptabil- ity that it is* the Intentlon to make him a permanent member of the Nay- lor Players. He will make his initial appearance on Monday night, the start of Jubilee Week at the Lyceum. “CIVILIZATION” TO COME HERE AGAIN At Fox’'s tonight and tomorrow Miss | Clara Williams will appear in the Tri- |angle Fine Arts drama in five acts | “Three of Many',, Mrs. Vernon Castle {in the secgnd chapter Jf the popular serial which opened last week ‘Pa- tria” the new - Vogus comedy, the Hearst-Pathe’ News and Hughie Mack in the Greater Vitagraph comedy, ‘“Hash and Havoc”.
