REVELATIONS Why Lillian Asked Madge to “Play Around” With Harry Underwood. When Lillian Underwood shudder- ingly dropped the gorgeous chrysan- themums which Mr. Gordon had brought me and went out of the room I did not have to speculate upon the reasan for her action. For I had seen the diabolically cruel thing her husband had done, ‘With an evident wholesome fear of my mother-in-law, who but a few mo- ments before had sternly rebuked him for his discourteous comments upon Lillian’s altered appearance, he had uttered no word that might . wound Lillian. But no insuit shouted from the housetops could have been more scathingly cruel than the manner*in which he first swept me with an ad- miring glance as I stood with my arms full of chrysanthemums, and then, turning to his wife as she held up the rare wine-and-gold blossoms, loaked her over, critically, cuttingly, disparagingly, finally turning away with an almost imperceptible gesture of disgust. Now I know from my study of Lillian and from what Dicky has told me of her that she must have been a rarely beautiful woman in her youth, and that beside her I would have made & very humble appearance in- deed. But I am years younger than she, and in a fllmy, summery gown donned to do honor to my guests, I knew that I was looking my best. ‘While Lillian, who for some reason I could not fathom, had discarded the rouge, powder and dyveing of her hair, ‘which she had always used, appeared years older than she really was, and almost ugly on account of her hair, which the dye had leq a_ horrid, streaked, drab color. I think I “saw red” for a moment. If ever through'the dislike and fear I had always felt for Harry Underwood there had crept an. indefinablé re- sponse to the undeniable fascination he can exert over any one when he chooses, it dled when I .saw his mockery of Lillian, A Of course, for Lillian's sake I knew that I must not notice the incident in any way. But I think Mr. Underwood must have read the contempt for him that blazed in my eyes, because when Lilllan and Dicky came up to us again he sauntered over to Alfred Durkee and engaged him in conversation, ap- parently taking no interest in the ar- rangement of the flowers which she ‘was superintending. “There! those are perfect,’” Lillian said at last, stepping back from the last brown jar she had retrieved from Katie's Kitchen, the only thiags in the 7 NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD.

Less than a year ago it was having a successful run at the Longacre theater in New York. house deep enough to hold the royal long-stemmed blooms, “Magnificent!” DicKy said, and if his tone was constrained, only Lillian and I guessed it. “This is awfully good of you, Mr. Gordon, to dress up our old shack in this way.” How Tdllian “settled” Dicky. “It is you who are good to let me Join your gathering,” Mr. Gordon re- turned, and I saw that for the moment the danger of a breach be- | tween the two men which I had | fearea was over. “However did you manage Dicky?” 1 whispered to Lillian a moment later under pretext of putting away some magazines displaced by one of the flower jars, “Read him the riot act in a whis- per,” she returned coolly. “But he's only quieted temporarily.

Do you like to get souvenir post cards from people who are away on trips? A few weeks ago I took a brief vacation with a friend. I found, by- the-by, that there is no time in the year when a few days vacation will yield so high a rate of interest in in- creased efficiency in work and in the great business of being happy and making others so, as at the fag end of winter. To return to the main road, we were engaged one day in the occu- pation (once a pastime, but now, to my thinking at least, rapidly becom- ing a burden), of sending post cards to our friends and ‘relatives. I Wondered Why She Left Her Best Friend Out. “Aren’t you going to send one to Grace?” 1 asked, mentioning a mu- tual friend. “No,” said my frien “I'm not.” E kinder.

NO PLOT, BUT A RIPPING GOOD SHOW There isn't any semblance of plot to “The New Bon Ton Girls” at the Grand this week.

STRONG BILL ON SCREEN AT FOX'S At Fox's tonight Miss Ethel Clayton in “The Web of Desire”, the World feature, (Brady made) is the headline feature of the program. Miss Clayton is a popular star in New Britain and the crowded houses vesterday proved her popularity in this cit There are many other features in the week end show at Fox's including Mrs. Vernon Castle in “Patria”. Mme. Petrova will be the star in the Metro feature Sun- day night, *The Waiting Soul". Stu- art Holmes, the popular Fox star, will be the attraction Wednesday and Thursday in “The Derelict”. The big gest of all big pictures will be played at Fox’s mext Friday and Saturday, 1 “The Barrier”, by Rex Beach, a pho- tqdrama in nine reels. The New York critics say it is better than “The Spoilers.” Some of the best comedies have been booked for the ¥ox pro- gram and they are making a great hit with the patrons. Mr. and Mrs. §id- ney Drew in the Metro Drew come- dies have been added to the Monday and Tuesday show. The Hughie Mack Vitagraph comedies have become a permanent part of the Friday and Saturday program. Harry Watson in the Klein-Edison comedies entitled “The Musfy” Suffer” comedies has been contracted for, for three weeks that the Fox patrons may pass their opinicn on them. Mr. Watson was the principle comedian with “The Ziegfleld Follles” for four years. This s the biggest engagement a com- edian can secure. He has a national reputation as a comedian. If he be- comes popular at Fox's he will re- main in the Friday and Saturday pro- gram. 1If not every available come- dy will be offered until the patrons are satisfied. There are no reserved reats for the Sunday night performance and there will be no advance in prices. Spinach cooked, chopped, seasoned and’ molded is extremely wholesome served with an egg sauce.

When the children were small and I never could get away, my cousins were always sending me cards from this place or that, saying how lively it was and what a good time they were having. It used to make me just crazy when I'd been up half the night with a sick baby and had a long tiresome day to face, to have the postman hand me a cdrd with a picture of some perfectly beautiful ‘place on it and .a tantalizing descrip- tion of what they were doing.
