Theatergoers and Women Readers Use More Domino Granulated Sugar and Increase Your Working Power Many practical tests of the value of sugar in lessening fatigue have been made in both the French and German armies, and by the Department of Agriculture at Washington.- Sugar constitutes only 5.4% of the average ‘diet, yet it furnishes 17.5% of the total energy in it. “‘Sweeten it with Domino”’ Granulated, Tablet, Powdered, Confectioners, Brown REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON 3 How" Mother Graham Rase to a Pleasant Opportunity. “Where are you going, my pretty maid?” Harry Underwood sprang to his feet as I entered the lving room. Of course, Dicky and Alfred Durkee did the same thing, but it was Mr. Un- derwood who with his long stride advanced quickly in front of the others and barred my path, looking down at me with the indefinable look in his brilliant black eyes that always makes me shiver. “To kiss Mrs. Durkee, sir, she said,” I answered in as mocking a tone as his own, and courtesying low, sprang aside more quickly than he thought possible and lightly dodged the out- flung arms with which he had mudel a barrier against my passing. The light, mocking elusion was part of the treatment of Harry Un- derwood that I had long ago outlined for .myself. He was Dicky's sest friend, the husband of my dearest comrade, Lillian. To take seriously, or to show offence at the burlesqued admiration which he constantly of- tergd be MINERS BesTt Cocoa thought ot | unless I wanted a rupture between the two families. “Foiled again, Harry,” 1 heard Dicky say as I reached Mrs. Durkee’s side and apologized for not having come sooner to greet her. The light laughter which accompanied his re- mark grated on me when I con- trasted Dicky’s indifference to the badinage of Harry Underwood with his foolish jealousy of any other man who evinced the slightest interest in me, “Lucky Mrs, Durkee!” Harry Un- derwood returned extravagantly, and my greeting of the pretty, motherly, little woman whom I genuinely liked, was marred by the consciousness that the man I unaccountably feared was kwatching my every movement. I did not allow myself to dwell upon the vagaries of Harry Under- wood, however. I knew that if I would save Lillian pain I must quietly ,warn Alfred Durkee and his mother, as well as Dicky, of the radical change in her appearance, her trans- formation from a comparatively young woman to one of apparently advanced vears. | Little Mrs. Durkee proved her pos- i s on of the poise and good, sense 1 was sure she had, when, upon hear- ing my news, and caution to evince no surprise at seeing Lillian, she neither exclaimed nor questioned me concerning Lillian's Teasons _ for ranishing her atrocious mask of rouge and powder, ‘What Harry Said, fred to me while you speak * she said quietly, and as I crossed the room to where the three men were standing I blessed her for her thoughtfulness. “I wish to speak to yvou seriously, 1 said, trying to make wmy voice gay and careless, “and Mr. Durkee, you are wanted at your mother’s side.” Harry Underwood flashed a shrewd, understanding glance at me, a look which follawed me as I stepped aside with Dicky, and which changed into mocking, bitter smile as Dicky, un- ble to control himself at my news, sounded a long whistling note and then, before I could stop him, de- manded loudly: ‘“What the Sam Hill did she do that for?” “Your query is a perfectly logical one, my voung friend,” Mr. Under- . wood sneered, and I had never heard ' his voice so unpleasant. “And I can give you the answer, pronto, She had the world can better sati o g o 1o eat. i MINER'S BEST*—a i £ - two reasons, one because she wanted to make a billy goat of me.” “Oh, don’t Harry!” a plaintive voice sounded from the doorway, and T turned to see Lillian and my mother- in-law entering the room. I could not believe my ears. Surely { that sad, pleading voice, with almost a touch of timidity in its tones could not belong to bluff, hearty Lillian Underwood! Lillian, who was never at a loss for a witty, caustic answer, and toward whose clever tongue her husband had always shown a great deal of cautious respect. What experience had come to this dear friend of mine, strong enough to change her so? " Harry Underwood paid no attention of A Body Builder *MINER'S BEST" is both Nourish- ORDER of Your GROCER W. H.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, —————————————————— to her protest, but twisted his lips into a maddening sneer. “Quaint effect, isn't 1®tr he drawled, lazily waving his hand to- ward Lillian’s hair, which, without the dye she had used for so many vears was an ugly combination of b g Y ule ke a rag carpet, only the old lady wears it on her head instead of standing on it.” I had suspected before that Harry Underwood, when really angered, had a cold ferocity of temper which was to be dreaded. But I had not dreamed that he would dare to make sport of his wife in the way he was doing. I saw Alfred Durkee and his mother flush in indignant embarrassment, noticed the angry gleam in Dicky’s eves, and the involuntagy clenching of his fists, which told me that his friendship for Harry TUnderwood would not stand another slur-against Lillian, and then my mother-in-law, cold, majestic, saved the situation by taking advantage of her privilege as an elderly woman. How He YLooked. “Mr. Underwood,” she said, leav- ing Lillian and walking up to him with a steely glitter in her eves, “‘will "you kindly escort me into the library? I have something to say to vou.” There was nothing, of course, for the angry man to do but to offer her his arm and accompany her. I could not help but smile to smile to myself as he went out, for he looked like a refractory boy being escorted to the woodshed for summary discipline. In a frantic effort to gloss over the situation I plavfully caught the hands of Mrs. Durkee and Lillian. “ Come and see the chrysanthe- mums Dicky brought for my table,” I said. 8 They were really beautiful yellow blossoms which Dicky had risen early to get from a néighboring greenhouse, I knew that my husband liked me to appreciate my evidence of his thoughtfulness and I was rather elaborately exhibiting the flowers when the sound of a taxi turning into | the ariveway drew our attention to the door. When a moment or two later, Robert Gordon, our last dinner guest, appeared, followed by Jim carrying two immense flower boxes, my heart sank. If he had brought chrysanthemums, any they were fined than the ones Dicky had given me, I felt that I would not give much for my chance of a cheerful dinner. “THE DUMMY” MAKES HIT AT LYCEUM It is seldom that a play which scores a great success in New York is available for stock a year or two later and only the persistent efforts of Mr. Naylor made it possible to secure “The Dummy" for production in New Britain at such an early date. The Walter Naylor players have made a splendid record in the production of new plays,—plays that had proven real metropolitan successes, but ‘“The Dummy” is one of the:newest. It is the cleverest and most up to date of so-called crook plays. As presented at the Lyceum this week, it is proving one of the most enjoyable plays of the current season. .

SUITS COATS TRIMMED HATS SKIRTS WAISTS HEAEsAR Misch STore S8Y—693 MAIN STREET' HARTFORD - - SIDE TALKS | BY RUTH ‘We fell into an interesting discus- | sion the other day about words that sound like their meaning. Take for instance the word ‘“‘mur- mur.” There surely cannot be any doubt that that words sounds like the thing it stands for. The “mur- { mur of voices,” the “murmur of wa- | ters,”” how wonderfully you can hear | them in that single word! | “Bubble” is another such word. It | seems to me that both the sound and motion of gurgling water are caught and imprisoned in those two syllables. Words Can Sound the Way Things Look. Both these cases are cases where the word stands for sound. But the relationship between the word and its meaning is not confined to sound, by any means, Take, for example, the word “twin- kle.” Don’t those syllables in some marvelous way sound just as the twinkling of a star looks? : Then there’'s the word “stifle.” Can’t you feel a sense of smother and repression right in it? Doesn’t “Rough” Sound Rough? Or take the words “rough” and “smooth". Isn’t there something in the sound of each that suggests the quality it denotes? If you told someone who did not know our lan- guage that these two words stood for the two qualities, dont you think he could guess which was which? It +would be an jnteresting experiment. “Gruff” is another word in which sense and sound are perfectly wedded. Can you imagine “gruff” meaning soft voiced? 1 certainly can’t. N And doesn’t “silky” sound the way silk feels to you? Could “leer” ever mean anything pleasant, musical though it is? Or could that fine old Saxon word “stink” 'possibly mean fragrance. Of course the inevilable question pops up,—*“Isn’t it because these words are associated with their mean- ings that you think there is something in the sound that suggests the sense?”’ It is Hard to Discntagle a Word From Its Association. It is of course, difficult to disen- tangle a word from its assoclations but I have been aware of that danger and have tried to avoid it. The ele- ment of association may-have some- thing to do with my feeling about these words but it is not the whole cause. I left out several in which I thought sound and sense were allied, because I could not be sure how much asso- ciation influenced me. My favorite word ‘‘serene’” for instance; it sounds serene to me but I could not be sure I wasn’t prejudiced. Er—————————————— NAGLE SANITARIUM AND PRIVATE HOSPITAL. 80 CEDAR STREET. NEW BRITAIN.
