Arylur Si., Hartfora, *Phove Ch. 1141:3 REVELATIONS - By ADELE “I Think He Makes Lillian Perfectly Miserable.” I did not dare to loak at my mother-in-law as Dicky came toward us after answering Robert Gordon’s telephone- message, From the one-sided telephone con- versation I had gathered that Mr. Gbrdon was to be our guest for Dicky’s birthday dinner. My Mothers in-law’s prejudice against the rich man of mystery who had displayed sueh an interest in me was most in- tense—indeed, the remembrance of her last display of temper concerning himfi, just after we returned from the Catskills, was fresh in my mind. I fully expected that she would de- nounce Richard for inviting Mr. Gor- don to the house, 2 But either she had forgotten her grievance against him or her disap- pointment over her daughter's com- ing had had a softening effect upon her, for she made no sign that she had even heard the telephone conver- sation, but sat calmly looking over the morning paper as if nothing un- usual had occurred. I think Dicky was a trifle afraid, also, of his mother's verdict, for his attitude was elaborately apolegetic as he explained his invitation to me. “Your friend, Gordon, has just got- ten in from one of thosé mysterious voyages of his to parts unknown,” he sald. “He was delayéd in reaching the city, only got in last night, too late to telephone us. Seems he had some cherished scheme of having us his guests at-a very special blowout. Wouldn’'t mind going if we hadn’t asked these people here, for they say his little dinners are something to dream about, they're so unique. Of course, there was nothing elsé for me to do but to invite Him out. I thought you wouldn’t mind.” i In Dicky's tone there was a dobt- ful connection which I read correctly, He knew of my interest in the elderly ‘man of mystery who had known my Pparents so well, and. I was sure that he thought I would be overjoyed be- cause he had extended the invitation. I was,glad that I could . honestly disabuse ‘his mind of this idea, for I had a curious little feeling that’ Dicky disliked more than he appeared to do the attentions' paid to me by Mr. Gordon. 0 \ Dicky Didn’t Know. . “Of course you couldn’t do any- thing else, Dicky,” I returned heartily; “you had to invite him. But I'm || awfully sorry he had to choose this day for -his visit. It's too late to get hold of Lillian now; she's probably started by this time, and I expressly promised her that there would be no_one here but the Durkees.” Dicky gave me a quick glance of inquiry, .and then, evidently satisfied that I meant exactly what I said, drew a long breath which my imagination fancied was one of relief. “Why, what's eating Lil,” he said carelessly, “that she can’t stand the presence of strangers? She's usually keen on having a crowd. “She’s in some trouble,” I explained, “which she couldn’t tell me over the She wanted to be sure there needed me, and warned me not to be shocked or surprised at her appear- Dicky’s face clouded. Y saw that my news had troubled him, as I was sure it would, for I knew his very real affection for Lillian Underwood, the woman who had made such a ‘wonderful sacrifice for his sake. “I wonder what's up,” he said, worrled. “Come to think of it. Lil hasn’t been in her studio for a week —but then, she’s yery irregular there anyway, does a lot of her work at home, you know. And when I last saw Harry, about three nights ago, he was in a devil of a mood, licking up highballs and swearing at the world in general.” “Poor Lillian!" I sighed, with a awift- mental vision of what her life with Harry Underwood must be. Dicky looked at me curfously. “You don’t altogether approve of friend Harry, do you, Madge?” he said, after a pause. “No, I don't,” I returned, spiritedly. “I think he makes Lilllan perfectly miserable at times.” “Oh, I wouldn’t go as far as that,” Dicky returned easily, “Lil's pretty well able to take care of herself, and Harry isn’t the worst fellow in the world—aen angel of light compared to the article Lil drew out of the grab- bag when she tried marriage the first time. Harry has his faults, but at least he's 2 human being, which is a long sight more than the other chap was.” } “I agree with Margaret,” said my ———————————————————— $100 Reward, $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that sclence has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh.

Ripley Art Co., BRANCH STUDIO mswmmsc,.xewpnmn.oonn.] /] 0 i DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1917.; \ OF A WIFE GARRISON mother-in-law abruptly rising, “there are few more detestable men in the world to my notion than Harry Un- derwood. Of course, you have to in- vite him here if you entertain his wife. But you mark my word, Rich- ard, you will some day bitterly regret that you ever brought that man into your home.” i A Strange Shock. My mother-in-law swept majestical- ly out of the room, Dicky waited until she was well out of earshot be- fore indulging in ‘the fit of laughter which I had foreseen was coming when his mother made her dramatic prophécy. “Gee! mother’s a cheerful lady to have about the house,” he saild, when he had finished chuckling. *“Do you suppose she'll treat Harry to another of her tantrums?” he asked, anxious- ly, & moment later. “No, I don’t think she’ll do any- thing worse than treat him with the frigidly she always uses toward him,” I replied. “Oh, well,. he’s used to that” Dicky returned, in a relieved tone. ‘At any rate we’'ve got to take what- ever comes Now. It won't be long now before they arrive.” And, indeed, it was less than an hour before their taxi swung into the driveway. Lillian’s head and face were so swathed in veils that I did not realize what the change in her appearance of which she had warned me was until I was alone with her in my room, which I intended giving up to her and her husband while they ptayed. Then, as she took off her hat and veils I almost cried out in aston- ishment—for at my first, unaccus- tomed glance, instead of, the rouged and powdered face, and dyed hair, which to me had ‘been the only un- pleasant things about Lillian Under- wood, the face of an old woman looked at me, and the hair above it ‘was gray! WITH THE MODELS! “Henny and Papa With the Models” is a funny scene that.takes place dur ing the action of Rose Sydell’'s fa- mous “London Belles,” the attraction all this week at the Grand theater. Papa finds that his son knows a lot of things about home life that he hadn’t eyen dreamed existed. Henny, in this case is Johny Weber, the fea- tured comedian with the Campbell show, and he is playing in unusually fine form this season. The two-act burletta, “A Trip - to Washington,” serves to introduce many clever vau- deville speclalties and the.costumes worn are a work of art from the best known Parisian modistes. Cornell, the famous hall singer appears this season, and Miss Rose Sydell herself, is person- ally present. Miss Pullman brings down the house with her clever work. The Gayety Trio, Lew Thall and ‘William Campbell, are others among the principals. THE GREAT RAPOLI A SHOW IN HIMSELF A vaudeville show in himself is a fitting characterization of The Great Rapoli, who is appearing at Keeney’s this week in the heddline act. Rap- oli does a number of things in clever style. He is a cartoenist, a juggler of skill, an impergonator and a mu- siclan, displaying efficiency in each. His act is one of the best attractions seen here in months. Another en- tertaining specialty is the piano and singing number- given by Hendrix and Padula, a pair of entertainers of con- siderable skill. The Musical' Kleises also - contribute considerable toward: the success of the show. . Topping the photoplay program for the balance of the week will be “The Victoria Cross,” Lou-Tellegen play- ing the leading role. There will be other film attractions. Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast.

OH, COME SEE PAPA ; “THE DUMMY” NEXT ON LYCEUM STAGE From a Broadway theater at two dollars a seat, te stock at fifty cents in two years is a very unusual record for a real metropolitan success. How- ever, that is precisely what Mr. Nay- lor has done with “The Dummy.” Founded on the “Barney” which ran in Collier's Weekly, unusual play by Harriet Ford and Harvey OHiggins, enjoyed a long, successful run at the Hudson theater in New York. The Dummy is enjoyable because the authors have veered off at every possible opportunity from the groove worn well by all the many crook plays of this and other seasops. 'The play takes unexpected turns and is lighted by a shrewd and pleasant humor. It is a crook play in which the crooks are not so very crooked after all There is not a revolver shot or so much ds a dictograph, but just a small messenger boy from down Hudson street way in hot pursuit of some kidnappers because he wants to make a showing as a “detectuf.” Mr. Naylor says Lyceum patrons will like “The Dummy” better than ° Rolling Stones and there is every reason to believe it. i If one lfkes to see a beautiful play which is at times so pathetic as to bring tears to the eyes of the strongest and then again so humorous so as’to make the most blase of theatergoers smile. Don’t fail to see “The Dust of the Earth.” It is a play in which old childhood days are renewed and one that makes you wish you were a boy or girl once again. A play such as this is seldom seen acted as realas- tic as this one is and all the credit is due to the actors and Director Nay- lor for the excellent manner in which the play is produced, - Sunday evening *“The Glory of Yo- landa” will be shown at the Lyceum featuring Anita Stuart. Don’t fail to see this extraordinarv nhotovlav showing how the Great White Flame of Purity burned in the Soul of a Russian dancing girl. “A DAUGHTER OF THE GODS” AT PARSONS stories this Ninety per cent. of the multitudin- ous scenes of Willlam Fox's’ picture beautiful, “A Daughter of the Gods”, the “stills” 'or stationary pictures, would t‘rnish fit canvases for the art galleries of the world. The painter who could have conceived, set and 'executed in oils a scene from mer- maid bay, an interior of the sultan's palace, shewing the bath and beauties of the harem, Miss Amnnette Keller- mann wandering like a lost Eve in thé woodland or the multi-colored battle scene before or the burning of! the Moorish capitol, would have taken Frances | his place with Turner for color, Van ‘English Music | Dvke for costume, Whistler for fea- ture, Raphael for form. It is sincerely hoped that an inven- tion will be made which shall serve to perpetuate such valuable ribbons of film as go to make up “A Daughter of the Gods.” Imagine our delight if we were given to see the original models of the Venus de Milo, the Apollo Belvedere, the Winged Victory and other standard examples of an- | tique art, in natural, out-of-doors ac- tion in and about the seashore, the groves, the temples of old Greece! If one or two thousand years from today the, descendants of what are now Am- erican school children could besshown the film that was produced simultan- eously with a year of the great Euro- pean war, it would throw consider- able intimate light on the progress at- tained in the“twentieth century. Who can say but that in two thousand years America will be the Greece of antiquity ? If you think your soul and senses deserve a rare treat, a Jjourney through Elysian fields in commemor- ; ation of this holiday season, take yourself to see “A Daughter of the Gods” to be shown at Parsons’ thea- ter, Hartford, for eight days, start- ing Good Friday. You will take home with you a se- ries of mental images which will lift you above the humdrum of every day life for weeks to come. Matinees will be given daily. Coats are mostly straight in front, but backs are almost sure to be flaring.

If you knew that if you let your- self be mean or selfish or sensual or grasping or unamiable, you would have to wear a sign in big letters, branding you as such, don't you think it would maké you a little more careful of your character? Well, to many folks, the peopla who deserve it do wear just such a sign. Four of us sat opposite a couple lon the trolley the other day. I saw each one of my companions | lglve them a swift glance. When we lgoz off the car, someone said “Too | bad that nice-looking young man should have a gir] like that!” Her Face Reeked With Meanness. “Yes,” said another, ‘“her whole face simply reeked with meanness.” “I don’t think I ever so so many mean lines in so young a face,” said the third. Evidently to these three people (and to me) that girl was as plainly tagged as if she had worn a sign about her neck. “When sin is in the soul,” some- one has said, “it leaps out upon the face." And that doesn’t mean just sins like murder and adultery, means any crookedness of the soul. How many people one knows whose sour souls have leaped out on their faces and written discontent there in big, ugly letters! “Discontent” Was Written on His Face When I shut my eyes and recall to big it mind a man whom I have not seen for years, two things leap out at me, —the ugly lines from nose to mouth and those between the eyes. Both: testify to his miserable dissatisfac- tion with life. Fretfulness puts crows’ feet all over a face far more surely than age ever will. ! Sensuality, however well-hidden the possessor thinks it to be, will carve deep and unmistakable lines on his face. i Unbridled selfishness will eventual- ly make the loveliest face mean and ugly. Are You Willing to Be Marked. Most of us have unbeautiful ex- pressions now and then. It is only when the unbeautiful is the-habitual trend of of our souls that it marks it- self permanently on the face, Of course, the converse is true, and a sweet face /s one of the rewards of a beautiful life. Are you willing to have your char- acter carved on your face? The very deep collar is not chic; new dresses are finished in some in- teresting flat and simple fashion around the-neck.
