EASTERN MILLINERY CO. 223 MAIN STREET, NEW BRITAIN What Great Change Has Come Into Lillian Underwood’s Life? “Did you hear fgrom the Under- woods? Are they coming?” I asked the question of Dicky be- fore he fairly got off his coat. “Don’t know,” Dicky returned. “Lil wants you to call her up. I don't think she’s quite up to her usual self, her voice sounded queer some way, sort of constrained. Did you wet hold of the Durkees?” “Yes, and they're coming. Mrs. Durkee was lovely about it She sald some friends who were to dine with them had disappointed them and that this | clever | if _they hadn’t received our invitation she and her son would have had a very. quiet, rather lonely dinner at home. “Well, if the Underwoods come that'll make six of us beside mother,” Dicky returned. “We will probably have a great deal better time than if Elizabeth and her brood had ar- rived on schedule.” “That was a rotten deal of Eliza- beth’s at that,” Dicky went on, ‘but I'm not surprised. She always was ike that; perfectly irresponsible bout keeping engagements or hurt- ing people’s feelings. Queer, too, for she's a gréat deal warmer hearted, naturally, than Harriet.” I nodded. I remembered very dis- tinetly Dicky’s sister, Harriet, the big, brilliant, handsome woman, who made such an efficient helpmate for her distinguished surgeon husband, Dr. Braithwaite. “Harriet 1s as cold-blooded as a fish,” Dicky continued, “about any- thing thdt doesn't concern that be- Joved husband of hers, but she'd die the death rather than play a trick such as Elizabeth has treated us ta today. How does mother feel about it?” he asked abruptly. “I'm afraid she's terribly grieved over it,” I returned, “But she has been very brave, and, Dicky, she was exceedingly sweet about having the Underwoods and.the rest invited for tomorrow. Do go up to see her r:ly:ht away. I think.it will please her.” Lillian’s Cryptic Words. “I know somebody else who's sweet about things, too,” my husband re- turned, giving me a swift embrace and a tender kiss before bounding up- stairs to his mother’s room. 1 turned to the telephone, with my heart brimming with happiness. Dicky’'s tender approval always means much to me, And my contentment was not lessened by the knowledge of my mother-in-law’s softened feeling toward me. Lillian’s voice, however, made me forget all my contentment, and filled me with misgiving. It was _tense, totally unlike her usual bluff, hearty tones, and with an undercurrent in it, that spelled tragedy. “What is the trouble, Lillian?” T, asked, as soon as I had heard her greeting; “I krow something is the matter by ‘vour voice.” “Yes, there is,” she replied, “but nothing of which T can speak over the 'phone. Tell me, aTe you going to have any strangers therc tomorrow ? 1 couldn’t get anything definite out; of Dicky."” How like Lillian the bluff, honest speech was, Almost any other woman would have hypocritically assured me that nothing was the matter. But ! not Lillian Underwood! “Nobody but the Durkees” T as- sured her. *They have already promised to be here. But, Lillian, vou surely must get here as soon as Vou can. T shall be so worried until 7 see you. Tf you don’t get here early tomorrow morning T shall come in after you.” “You couldn't keep me away, you By ADELE GARRISON blessed child, if you are going to have no strangers there,” Lillian returned, “I dom’t mind the Durkees. But I need you, my dear, very much. Now I must tell you something—don’t be shocked or surprised when you see me, for I shall be somewhat changed in appearance. Run along to Dicky now. I'll be with you some time to- morrow forendon. Good-by.” Robert Gordon ’Phones, I almost forgot to hang up the tele- hone receiver in my bewilderment. ‘What trouble could have come to Lillian . that she needed me? She was the last person in the world to need any one, I thought—she, whose sterling good sense and unfailing sood-nature had helped me so many times. And what change in her ap- pearance did she mean when she cautioned me against being shocked and surprised at seeing her? My anxiety concerning Lillian stayed with me all through the even- ing. I awoke in the night from troubled dreams of her to equally troubled thoughts concerning her. And my concearn was complicated by a message which Dicky received the next forenoon. We had barely finished breakfast when the telephorme rang and Dicky answered. ‘Hello,” I heard him say; ‘Yes, this is Graham. Oh! Mr. Gordon! how do you da ™ My heart skipped a beat. Robert Gordon, the mysterious elderly man, reputed to be a millionaire, who, because he had known my mother, had shown such an unaccountable interest in me! “Why! that's awfully kind of you,” Dicky was sayving, “but we couldn’t possibly accept, because we have guests coming ourselves, We expect to have a regular old-fashioned coun- try dinner here at home, But why do you not come out to us? Oh, no, you wouldn’'t disturb any plans at all—they’'ve been thoroughly upset already. We had plarined to have my sister and her family, six in all, spend the week with us, but yester- day we found they could not come. So we're inviting what friends we can find who are not otherwise engaged to help us eat our dinner. You will be more than welcome if you will join us. All right then. Do you know about trains? Yes, any taxi driver can tell you where we are. Good-by.” NAYLOR PLAYERS IN DRAMATIC TRIUMPH ‘The Walter Naylor Players are pre- senting a very pretty rural play, “Dust of the Earth,” which contains a great deal of the humor and pathos of a paor child’s life. Miss Dorothea An- tel as “Nellie” is very winsome and lovable and is able to move the strongest to tears with the realistic impersonation of her role. Miss Perry as her haughty cousin, Miss Dow as the mother of ‘Elizabeth’” and Miss Irene Antel as ‘“Arabella,” the village gossip, are all very well cast and deserve great credit for the ex- cellent interpretation of roles. Mr. ‘Wallace as the hero of the story should be accorded great credit for his excellent work. Ralph Murphy, as “Jerry,” plays the part of a coun- try lad admirably, Mr. Quin as a loyal darky servant is able to show more of his good character wark, Mr. Beecroft as the village parson, Mr. Hamilton as a father and Walter Naylor as a poor old man who has lost his memory are very well cast, and everyone deserves credit for their interest in making thig play the suc- cesg that it is, f ; \ $4.95 MISS SPRINGTIME.

SIDE TALKS Living Too Soft Did it ever occur to you.that char- acters need exercise as well as minds and bodies? And that when they don’'t get fit, they, like the minds and bodies, grow soft and flabby, and break down un- der any strain? Once upon a time there was a sweet hard working little music teacher. j She ‘was very conscientious with her music and her pupils and very self denying in her habits. She had high ideals of conduct and held herself rather closer to them than most of ' us do. And Onc Day the Prince Came. Then one day the Prince ! And as he was a veritable Prince { among young men, possessing good family, good looks, a good disposition and a good business, we ull expected them to be happy forever after. Which they were for a time. The good business grew better, the little music teacher had a house, a machine, secrvants, lovely clothes. There was no more hard work for her; no more nced to sac- rifice herself, nothing partictlar to bo conscientious about, nothing to keep up to the mark in, in short,—no rough edges on life. The Kind of a Life We All Crave But— It was the kind of a life we all crave,—and the kind of a life so few of us can stand. ‘The littlc music teacher couldn’t. She got out of the habit of denying herself anything, and when circum- stances threw her into contact with a very .Interesting and fascinating man, and she found that his society began to mean much to her, she was not capable of denying herself that dangerous pleasure. And so she gave herself more and more of it and told herself lies about it’s being no harm and about her hus- band being so wrapped. up in his work that she was justified,—a thing she would once have been incapable of doing. Then came the inevitable crash with broken lives and trust and faith inextricably splintered about. She Says She Couldn’t Help It. The little music teacher says it was a grand passion and that she could not help it. It she had been the same woman she was before she lived too soft she could have helped it. But she wasn't.
