But she’s one of those dreadfdl people that make you feel as if you were talking to a blank wall hecausc thev never listen to “T told him I should go crazy I had to have that women in house all the time,” said my neigh- bor. “That woman” was an accomoda- tor whom her husband hadf wanted shoulders for a few months, o very pleasant el i “Well, she was in here the other o never lived }day She hadn’'t been here since she e e ety “moighbor. | “I-ve | cume to help me out when mother el e was sick and she asked how mother ffwas and I started to tell her, but I could tell right off she wasn’t listen- ing and in a minute she broke out, ‘Had that davenport co\ered havent you?” hen she asked how old the chfl« dren were now and before.I could answer, that blank look came over her face and I saw she was looking at the place where we used to have the piano,—we've moved it into the Lall., That's the way she is all the time. Perhaps I'm foolish to mind i but it makes me dreadfully ner- vous.” ’ A Great Many of Us Are Foolish That Way. Perhaps she is foolish to mind, but Im afraid a great many of us are foolish too. In a country town where I used to visit there was a woman whose sit- fting room window -commanded a view of the main street. Everything t.hu went on she saw.: If you were ith hcr when anyonc puud She Wasn’t Listening At All. Flowers For Easter There should be no doubt about the quality of flowers or plants you send youf friends for Easter. Not only is quality guaranteed but prampt delivery ' as well. An order placed with us for flowers or plants will be delivered when you want it. VIETS’ down that street a blank look would come over her face and conversation would be suspended until she had mentally placed the passerby and decided what his or her errand was. Naturally people did not greatly en- joy these conversations. It Doesn’t Seem Possible and Yet The “Goldfish” has also met this type of persons. He concludes a pro- test against them with the follow- ing incident which seems a trifle ex- aggerated,—but you never can tell. “I know a woman,” he writes, ‘‘who, never pays the slightest attention to anything that is being said to her, being engrossed in a torrent of ex- planations regarding her children’s education and various diseases. Once a bored companion in a momentary pause fixed her sternly in the eye and said distinctly, ‘But 1'don’t give a D—about your children.’ ‘At which the lady smiled brightly and replied, “Yes, quite so. Exactly. As I was saying Johnny got a- ' ASK FOR and GET Horllck’ Malted Mllk Substitutes Cost YOU Sama Price. BOSS LUNCH BISCuIT “LITTLE GREY LADY” AT THE LYCEUM ‘This week the Walter Naylor Play- ers are presenting “The Little Grey Lady,” one of Channing Pollock’s most charming plays and at the same time one without a hero. Evi-: dently Mr. Pollock -does not consider it heroic for a man to face his guilt and take the consequences, but the author, must be taken ‘literally for it would be absurd to say that the.play is without a heroine. The fortitude, and quiet bravery of ‘“Anna Gaéy” is— heroism of the greatest type. The locale of the play is in the treasury in Washington, D. C., and this set- ting is certainly most appropriate at this timie. Miss Perry will be seen in a role altogether different from afy which she has taken to the pres- ent time and is sure to win approval. The Ante] sisters, Mr. Murphy and Mr. Quin will all be seen to good ad- vantage in this play, | WILFRED LUCAS IN “JIM BLUDSO” FILM ‘Wilfred Lucas,’'the star of “Jim Bludso”, picture play. made from the famous poem by John Hay, which will be seen at the Fox theater, has pre-- viously appéared in the leading roles’ of four noteworthy Triangle feaures— “Acquitted,” *‘Hell to Pay’ /Austin”, “Rummy”’ and “The Microscope Mys- tery.” In “Jim Blud.so" he 1s said té have one of the most powerful roles ever- allottéd to a screen star. Not only does 'he, as engineer of the Prairle Belle, “hold her nozzle agir the bank till the last galoot’s ashore,” but he also has many other stirring adven- tures. A remarkable feature of the play is the complete destruction by fire of the PrairieiBelle, the Triangle-Fine Arts studio having purchased a river boat and burned it to the water’s edge in the production. Still another re- markable scene is the inundation of a Mississippi River town by flood after the bursting of a levee. Water is seen pouring down the streets in -streams and coming up to the second story Avindows of the houses. Lucas is sup- ported by a noteworthy cast, includ- ing Olga Grey, Sam, de Grasse, Wini- fred Westover and Georgie Stone, Triangle-Fine Arts noted child actor. “GOLDEN CROOKS” AT GRAND THEATER A week of .solid enjoyment is promised by Manager D. D. Scullen of the Grand theater, with the com- ing of “The Golden Crook” company. This production by Jacobs & Jermeon, called the “Barnum & Bailey of Bup< lesque,” offers many novelties. En- tertainment of high gquality is fur- nished by the extravaganza. Billy Arlington, with his interpretation of a tramp character, heads the cast. He is surrounded by a large roster of principals, including Frank Dobson, Wleanor Cockran, Dolly Meedon and *he Pall Mall Trio, the Jast giving u fine vaudeville act. A big French ballet will be one of the novel m- bers. There has bheen a generous outlay of money for wardrobe .and scenic effect and the chorus is above the average. 5 OWEN MOORE PLAYS IN FEATURE PICTURE “A Coney Island Princess,” with Irene Fenwick and Owen Moore play- ing the leading roles, is tao be the photoplay feature.at Keeney's during the first three days of the week.

Suits Top Coats Hats and Shoes Furnishings B AT PV o REVELATIONS OF A By ADELE GARRISON H\dn' Madge Made the Best of an Odd Situation of Mother Graham's Making. ‘“Well, children, have you made any plans for Dicky’s birthday yet?” I nearly, fell off my chair in aston- ishment at tWe friendlincss -in ' my mother-in-law’s tones. She had been sulky ever since we had come home from our autumn outing in the Cats- kills, a sulkiness caused by her re- Sentment of what she chose to con- Sider the indiscreet interest taken im me by Robert Gordon, the mysterious millionaire whom I had discovered to be an old friend of my parents. I shrewdly suspected, however, that her continued resentments were more be- cause Dicky chose to take my part in the matter against her, than because of any real feeling taward Mr. Gordon. Nearly a year's experience, however, had taught me how best to manage my mother-in-law. When she in- dulged herself in one of her frequent “tantrums” 1 adopted a carefully courteous, scrupulously formal atti- tude toward her, and dismissed her from my mind. Thus I saved myself much worry and irritation, .and d prived her of the pleasure of a quar- rel, something which I knew she would be glad.to bring on sometimes for the sheer pleasure of combat. Her question was s6 sudden, her cordiality so surprising, that I could frame no answer. Instead I looked helplessly at Dicky. To tell the truth, I rather distrusted this sudden amiability. From past experiences, I knew that when Mother Graham made a sudden change from sulkiness to cheerfulness, she had some scheme under way. Dicky’s answer was prompt. “That’'s entirely up to Madge, mother,” he said, and smiled at me. “We Shall. Be Delighted.” I smiled back at him with proper wifely appreciation of his courtesy, but I had hard work to conceal the malicious amusement that lay beneath Ever since the mass meet- ing at Madison Square Garden when I had been so nearly hurt and Dicky had acted in such a boorish manner to my rescuer, Dr. Pettit, my liege lord .had been on-his very best be- havior. He was like a small boy try- ing to propitiate a stern teacher. Although his mother tried hard she could not keep the acerbity out of her tones as she turned to me. She always rcsented any deference of Dicky to my opinion, “Well, as Richard has no opinion of his own, what are your plans, Mar- garet?” 3 “Why, 1 have made none so far,” 1 stammered, wishing with all my heart that I had madec some definite plan for the holiday. I could.see from my mother-in-law’s manner that she had some cherished scheme in mind, and my prophétic soul told me that it would be something which I would not particularly like. ““Good,” she returned. shall not be interfering with any plan lof yours. 1 have already written to { Elizabeth asking them to come out here for Dicky's birthday. This is an awful shack, of course, but it is the country, “Then 1 if it is cold.” Dicky turned to her abfuptl brow stormy, his eyes flashing. “Mother, do YOu mean to say that | {posed visit- of> whether it Fould be wnventemfl% 1 trod hea%ily on his'toes under table in the vain hope that I wonld: be able to stop him from sayl fi{ words which I kKnew would inflameH mother's temper.

You tell me-how many there are so can arrange for beds and plenty ’of bedding. This is g, rather dnu:htfl { house you know.” & “I am better aware of that than ; are,” she returned, ungraciously ing no response to my proffer of hos& pitality. Then she turnéd Her nth”h- tion to Dicky. “Richard,” she said sternly, * never been compelled to consult any- body yet, before inviting guests to my home, whether it be a permanent . a temporary one.
