Lillian Underwood looked at wanely from beneath the crown of gray hair which had sb astonished me When she removed her veil. She had warned me over the telephone not to be surprised or shocked at any change in her appearance, but I had never dreamed of so comlete a meta- morphosis as that which I saw before me. I had never seen. Lilllan Underwood before without a most atrocious make- up of rouge and powder, and with her hair ‘dyed ‘a ‘yellowish blonde color. My first glimpse of her face had made me catch my breath, it was so like that of an old woman. But as I looked more closely I saw that it was not age but suffering that had chiselled the liries of \her countenance. There were the re\'nnznu of great youthful beauty in Lillian’s face. Nay, more, there were wonderful pos- sibilities when the present crisis i her life, whatever it might be, should have passed. But the effect of the change in her was staggering. “Awful, isn’t 1t?” she sald, coming jup to me. “No, don’t lie to me,”,as she saw a confused, merciful denial rise to my lips. “There, are mirrors everywhere, you know. There's one comfort, I can’t possibly ever lock any worse than I do now, and when' my hair gets over the effect of its long years of dyeing, and my present emotional crisis becomes less tense I probably shall not be such a fright. But, oh, my dear, how glad I am to be with you. I need you so much just now.” She put her head on my shoulder as a homesick child might have done, and I felt her draw two or threé long, shuddering breath: the dry sobs ‘which take the place .of tears in the rare moments when Lillian Under- wood. gives way to emation. I stroked her hair with tender pitiful fingers, noticing as I did so what ravages her foolish treatment of her hair had made in tresses that must once have been beautiful.’ Originally of the blonde tint she had tried to preserve, her locks were now an ugly mixture of dull drab and gray. As I stood looking down at the head pillowed against my shoulder I Tealized what me T if 1 Fsiz 1 f ! ’ Starting Good Friday, April 6.

FIRST"TTME HERE of the Stupendous’ New Yorn -3 JCCESS ths transformation in Lillian must, mean to Harry Underwood. “Rough on Harry.” He it was Who had always insisted that she follow the example of the gay Bohemian crowd of which he was| a leader, and disguise her fleeting youth with dye and rouge. It was to please him, or, as she once expressed it to me, “to play the game fairly with Harry” that she outraged her own in- stincts, her. sense of what was decent and becoming, and constantly made up her face into a mask like that of a woman of the half-world. No one could deny that'it disguised her real age, but her, best friends, including Dicky and myself, had always felt that the real mature beauty of the _woman was being hidden. #“Of course, this is terribly rough on Harry,” Lillian said at last, raising her head from my shoulder, and speaking in as ordinary and unruffled a tone as if she had not just gone through what in any other woman; would have been a hysterical burst of tears. “It really isn’t fair to him, and under any other conditions in the world 1 would not do it. He’s pretty well cut up about it, 8o much so that ‘he cannot alvays control his annoy- ance when he is speaking about it. But I know you will overlook any little outbreaks of his, won’t you? He wanted to come down here with me, you know he's always anxious to see vou, or I would have run away by myselt.” X Her tone was anxious, wistful, and my heart ached for her. I could glhess that when. Harry Underwood could/not * control his annoyance’” he could be very horrid indeed. But I winced at her casual ‘remark that her husband was always:anxious to see me. Harry Underwood held in re- straint by his very real admjration for his brilliant wife had be annoying enough to me. I did not care to think what he might be when enraged at her, as I knew he must be now, Nothing of my feeling, however, must T betray to the friend who had come to me for help and comfort. I drew closer the arms that had not yet released her. Katie’'s Plercing Wail. “Dear girl,”” I said softly, ‘“don’t worry any mbre about your husband or anything else, just censider that youw’ve come home to your sister. I'm going to keep you awhile now I've got you, and we'll straighten everything out. Don’t even bother to tell me anything about it until you are fully rested. I can see you've been under some great strain.” “No ‘one can ever realizé how great.,” she returned. ‘“‘You see—"" ‘What revelation she meant to make to me I did not then learn, for just at that moment a knock sounded on the door, and in answer to my “come in,” Kattie appeared. “Mister Graham, he say to tell you Missis Durkee is here,” she began, and ;hen with one wild, searching look at Lillian she threw her apron over her head with a plercing wail Used as I was to Katle's vagaries, I stood helpness before this display of temperament. But Lilllan, who had known Katie in the old days when she did the housework in the studia apart- | ment which Dicky ‘shared with three | other artists as irresponsible as him- | self, threw me a Teassuring glance. | “Just a manifestation of that queer superstition of hers,” she said, and going over to the girl took down the apron from her face and seéized her hands firmly. “What is all this noise about, Katie?” she demanded sternly. B “Oh, Misses Underwood, does witches got you, changed you into old vomans!” Katie wailed, and I noticed that she kept her eves care- | fully averted from Lillian’s as if she were in actual terror of the older woman. I saw Lillian wince, but she did not remove her clasp of the girl’s hands, and her voice was even and controlled. ‘Katle, sometimes- wou are so silly 1 wonder the fool-killer'doesn’t catch vou,” she said, and 1.saw with a breath of relief that with unerring in- stinct she had struck the right note with the girl. “I have not been well, and T am not going to fix my hair any more. I would rather have it gray. So run along now and stop being so foolish."” BRYAN A VOLUNTEER. Offers to Work With Red Cross or Y. M. C.

Please quroll me ag a private “THE' DUMMY" OPENS ] MONDAY AT LYCEUM ‘ | The Walter Naylor Players produc- tion for Easter week will be the great metropolitan success. “The Dummy” by Harriet Ford and Harvey O'Hig- gins: This dramatization should prove to be a treat for local theater-goers as it had a very long run in New ! York and is certainly a -very novel | play. N H Tonight is your last chance to see ! The Walter Naylor Players admir- able performance in “The Dust of the Earth.” This play has been quite popular with the general public and is certainly worthy of the praises of the people. At times you are on the verge of tears then again you are almost splitting- your sides with laughter. The roles are played very realastically and oné imagines him- self way back in his childhood days ‘when he sees Jerry and Nellie at- tempting to solve a cigarette. Sunday evening the A Lyceum will show “The Glory of ‘Yolanda” fea- turing Miss Anita Stuart. A story of a Russian dancing girl who made her way to the Russian Imperial bal- let through the influence of the grand duke, but when the grand duke ban- ished her lover to Siberia she gave up all her fame and glory and went with her lover happy and ready to stand the test of her affection. THE GREAT RAPOLI . SHOWS VERSATILITY Another capacity house is expected at Keeney's tonight when the vaude- ville performers . who have been ap- rearing during the week will close their engagement. The act of The Great Rapoli continues to. attract wide attention. Rapoli is the most versiitile entertainer to appear here in months.’ He has been a big hit every night. Hendrix and Padula alsg find favor for their singing’and the Kleis family .of musicians make a good bid for the plaudits of the audience. The photoplay feature tonight will the “The Victoria Cross,” with Lou- Tellegen in the leading role. “BON TON” SHOW AT GRAND NEXT WEEK. Nowhere is there an attraction which has been more successful in its own line of burlesque’than has Rose Sydell's “London Belles,” which is playing an engagement at the Grand theater. This company has a decidedly novel way of presenting the two-act burletta entitled A Trip to Washington.” The comedy is of the rapid fire\delivery and Johnie Weber, who heads the comedy department, is noted all over the country for his re- freshing humor. A myriad of pretty girls appear in the chorus and Rose Sydell herself is with the show. Next week’'s attraction will be the “Bon Ton"” show. This production has met with unusual success about the Colum- bia .circuit and reports from Boston are that it has had a record breaking week in that city.

ESTABLISHED 1780 T0 DROP TANZER GASE District Attormey Marshall Decides Not to Prosecute Further Charge of \ N Perjury Against Young Woman. New York, April 7,—Charles H. ‘Wax, produced by the government in the Rae Tanzer case as the mysterious Oliver Osborne, created another sen- sation in the Yorkville Court yester- day by volunteering to furnish $7,500 cash bail to answer a charge of grand larceny. Following 'his offer, Magis- trate Murphy held him without bail as a fugitive from justice from Oregon. Wax's court appearance followed the decision of the United States dis- trict attorney's office to drop the cases against Miss Tanzer and her counsel, Max and David H. Slade, growing out of her breach of promise suit against James W. Osborne. As- sistant District Attorney John C. Knox moved before Judge Cashman that he be discharged from custody. The mo- tion was granted and Wax was ar- rested on the larceny charge. Mptions dismissing the indictments against Miss Tanzer and her counsel are expected before H. Snowden Mar- shall quits office as district attorney later in the month. The remaining case, that of Safford, the hotel clerk convicted of perjury in swearing that it was James W. Osborné whom he saw with Miss Tanzer in a Plainfield hotel, is now before the Circuit Court of Appeals. The cases have cost more than $100,000, according to es- timates made in the federal building. | TO RELIEVE ENGLISH WARSHIPS American. Vessels Will Do Patrol Duty in West Atlantic. Washington, April 7.—Allled war- ships patrolling the Atlantic coast willj be sent to the European battle fleets, now that German merghant ships in American ports have taken over. All the Allied vessels may not be taken away until the statys of the Austrian merchant ships finally is de- of been termined, but it is the intention the Allied governments to remove them eventually. Their places prob- ably will be taken by American nava! vessels. Steps also have been taken toward ! withdrawal of British naval patrols in the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic, the work being turned over to the United States navy. Some of the British ships may be kept for a time at the station at Kingston, Ja- mica, but eventually the United States is expected to take over all patrol work on this side of the At- lantic. F.

DORCHESTER, SIDE TALKS' BY RUTH Homely and Therefore Nice “She’s terribly homely, but she's nice,” said Molly, the little stenog- rapher lady. “Why do you say ‘but’'?” said the Authorman. “Well, why not?”' said Molly. “I think ‘and so would be better, said the Authorman. ‘“She’s homely, and so she has to be nice.” “Why ‘has to be'?” It’s Not An Accident That Homely Girls Are Imteresting. “To make people like her. Did you think it was by accident that home- ly girls are apt to be the most inter-’| esting and the best mannered and generally the nicest. The way I've doped it oyt is that they have to be if they want to be liked, and being human beings, they do.” Molly considered. “You mean that pretty girls are never interesting or nice and that homely girls are never disagreegble. Of Course Some Oases of Homeliness ; Are Ingrowing. “Not at all,” said the Authorman, “I said ‘apt to be.’ And I don't mean that the homely girl consclously thinks things oyt and says ‘I've got to be amusing and interesting and tactful, if I'm going to be liked.” A few of them do but the most of them Jjust go in that direction unconscious- ly. ' Circumstances push them that way. Of course, some of them don’t have the sénse to go where they're Pushed. They're the kind = whese homelinéss grows in on them ang sours them. As for pretty girls, now and then you find one who is nat- urally too sweet tempered or clever to be spoiled by her own prettiness, but the most of them think it's enough -for them to be pretty and just lle back on it. That's why it isn't usually the prettv women who 'are the best at holding their husbands.’ Pretty Girls Make the Oynic Tived: “‘By George, you're right,” broke in the Wants-to-be-Cynic. ‘“There’s noth: ing makes me 30 tired as one of those pretty girls who make a busi- ‘ness of being pretty. They expect everybody to kneel down and wor- ship them and -they're about as fin- teresting 6 unseifish as these little pink pigs that are being fattehed for the market. When anyone tries to introduce me to one of them I always refuse. RPrettiness is all right in jt- self, but it takes an exceptional gifl, ar you say, not-to be spoiled by it. “Something like the rich man and the eye of a needle,” suggested Molly. ““I suppose masculine approval stands for Heaven in your simile,” said the Authorman’s wife scorn- fully. e “I've usually found it so,” said the Authorman quite unperturbed. m——‘—-—w " _PROTECTION!
