I felt so strongly on the subject that I said: “If you want your daughter to be in an atmosphere where good clothes, money and going about are looked on as the onmly things worth- ‘while, and to be in danger of devel- oping into that kind of a girl, yes,” “Do you mean to say -that you think all the training I have given her would count for nothing?"” “No, that's why I only said ‘to be in danger! " “You, think she’d be as easily in- fluenced as all that.” Is ‘There Anything Harder Than Not to Be Influenced. “Easily! I don’'t know of anything harder than to be constantly with a group of people and not be influ- enced by their ideals. Even after your character is formed it's hard, and at her age it's next to impos- sible. It's the group consciousness, and only the ultra strong can resist it. How can she be with them with- out thinking the things smart that they think are smart and the things funny that they think are funny and the things worthwhile that they think worthwhile?” Ferdinando Brothers Dance Orchestra Holmes & Hoffman’s APH- 21 SATURDAY EV'G, ALL REED INSTRUMENTS Banjo Quartette, Sax0phone Quar- tette.

She Really Asks for Advice “There’s something in that,” said my friend thoughtfully. She is one of those rare people who do some- times ask for advice for some pur- pose besides the desire to have their own views confirmed. That is one reason why I spoke so frankly This is another: A young girl of about twenty, a girl brought up in a home where ideals of truth and the square deal prevailed; asked to use my telephone one day She first called up a woman at whose house she had a business engagement, told her she had to go to the doctor's, and broke the engagement, though it was plain to seec it was inconvenient for the woman. Next she called up the hair dresser and made an gppoint- ment for the hour at which she had said she could not possibly keep her business engagement. That Was Her Idea of Smartness. As she hung up the receiver, she turned smilingly to me. “Some little prevaricator” she said in evident de- light at her smartness. - £ That was what living constantly with a group of girls with certain | ideals of what is smart and what is funny and what is worthwhile, had | done for her. Now I don’t think I'm a prig but I must say that didn’t appeal to me. 1 never worry if L have a little rash or other eruption break out—I just put on a bit of Resinol Ointment.

Dull care rapidly makes its flight when the curtain rises on the first act and finds no place in | vour mind for that evening. In the production of “A Pair of Queens” the ‘Walter Naylor players have estab- lished a precedent for late metropol- itan successes. Miss Dow unquestion- ably has the best role of her local en- gagement. As a servant in the Cran- by household and an advocate of sys- tem in the home she is irresistible.

No matter how You struggle against it, you cannot escape me.” Harry Underwood's brilliant black eves looked down into mine, his gayly mocking voice sounded in my ears. I had just told him that he was to take me in to dinner and we were leading the way into the quaint dining room of the old Brennan house. “Do I look as if I were struggling?” I laughed back, and saw a sudden expression of bewilderment in his eyes, followed instantly by a flash of triumph, Everything that was cattishly feminine in me leaped to life at that look in the eves of the man whom I detested, whom I had even feared. I could read plainly enough in his eyes that he thought the assiduous flat- teries he had always paid me were commencing to have their result, that I was beginning to recognize the dan- gerous fascination he was reputed to have for women of eyety station. I had a swift, savage desire to avenge the wonren he must have made suffer, to hurt him as before dinner he had wounded Lillian, his wife, y dearest friend, because at last she had chosen to be herself and to put aside the ‘mask of rouge and powder and dyed hair behind which she had hid- den her real countenance for so many years at his behest. A curious feeling of fréedom crept over me, freedom to do exactley as I pleased for at least this one evening. Dicky, himself, by his demand that I take some other dinner partner than Mr. Gordon, had thrown me into Mr. Underwood’s company, while his smiling assumption that I heartily dis- llked Mr. Underwood had goaded me into planning to make him change his mind on the subject. The Spirit That Stirred. As for Lillian, I had guessed shrewdly long ago that wherever Lillian Underwood’s heart was it was not in the possession of this man to whom she was bound, with whom she had always played the game of life fairly and squarely, no matter what treatment he accorded her. Only a few moments before, wearied of his cruel gibes at her appearance, shrink- ing from the repetition of them, she had asked me to amuse Harry and to divert his mind from his grievance. T . knew that Lillian would understand | and would not care to what extent I . FERDINANDO BROTHERS DANCE ORCHESTRA, COMING SAT. EVE, HOLMES & HOFFMAN HALL. FERDINANDO BROS. REED ORCHESTRA HERE There’s a real treat in store for dance lovers Saturday evening when Ferdinando Brothers dance orchestra makes its first appearance in this city at Holmes & Hoffman's hall. ‘To dance to an orchestra composed of all reed instruments is indeed a treat but that’s what this organiza- tion offers and its just this sort of music which is all the dancing rage in New York and the larger cities. Not only does Ferdinando Brothers dance orchestra feature reed instru- ments but its worth the price of ad- mission to dance a fox trot or one step to the banjo quartette which is an added feature and still something else that is always a hit is the saxo- phone quartette, the only quartette | of saxophones playing at the mmlon! dollar pier the past summer. In Hartford Ferdinando Brothers dance orchestra is well known, many New Eritain dancers have enjoyed fits music before but never has it been able to appear in New Britain. Sat- urday evening will be its first time here. \ The newest dance hits and the sweetest of Hawaiian melodies are included in the program. Concert is played from 8 to 9 and dancing until carried on an apparent filrtation with her husband. Sa instead of turning an impassive face to Mr. Underwood’s next speech 1 listened with just the hint of an elusive mischievously smile twisting my lips, “No, you don't look very uncom- fortable. You look”—he caught his breath as if with some emotion tao strong for utterance, and then said a trifle huskily: *“Will you let ‘me tell you how you look to me?” I had to exercise all my self-control to keep from laughing in his face. He was Such a paseur, his simulation of emotion was so meélodramatic that I wondered if he really imagined I would be impressed by it. “Don’t tell me just now,” I softly. *“Wait till after dinner.” “Afraid?” he challenged. “Perhaps,” I countered. He gave my hand lying upon his arm a swift, furtive pressure and released it so quickly that there was no possibility of his being observed. I had no time ta rebuke him, had I been so disposed, for we had almost freached our places at the table. I do not remember much of the dinner over which Mother Graham, Katie and I had worked so assidously, That everything went off smoothly, as we had planned, ‘that from the Casaba melons which were served first, to the walnuts of the last course, everything was delicious in flavor and perfect in service I was gratefully but dimly aware. For I felt as if I were on the brink of a volcano. Not because of ‘Harry Underwood's elaborate show of at- tention to me to which I was pre- tending to respond, much to the dis- gust of my mother-in-law, but on ac- count of the queer behavior of Robert Gordon. Lillian, who was making a piti- fully brave attempt to bring to the occasion all the airy brightness with which she was wont to make any gathering favored by her presence a success, secured only the briefest re- sponses from him, although he had taken her out to dinner. Sometimes he made no answer at all to her re- marks, evidently not hearing them. What Harry’s Whisper Caused. He watched me almost constantly, and so noticeable was his action that 1 saw every one at the table was | aware of it. It was a gaze to set any one's brain throbbing with wild conjectures, so mournful, so elusive it was. The fantastic thought cros- sed my mind that this mysterious clderly friend of my dead mother’s lookea like a long famished man com- ing suddenly in sight of food. By the time ‘the dinner was over ‘I was intensely nervous. Katie served us our coffee in the living room, and { when I took mine my hand trembled | so that the tiny cup rattled against | the saucer. I rose from my chair | and walked to the fire place, set the cup upon the mantel and stood look- ing into the blazing logs Jim had i heaped against the old chimney. My | guests could not see my face, and I hoped to be able to pull myself to- gether. “Ready to have me tell you how vou look to me, nmow?”’ said Harry { Underwood’s voice, softly, insidiously {in my ear, I started and maved a little away from him, which brought me neare: !to the fire. The next moment I was i wildly beating at little tongues of flame running up the flimsy fabric of my dress.
