Madge Missis Gra- tress and maid until we are doddering old women, I do not believe T’ll ever be able to cure her of the habit of calling me excitedly whenever ashe has anything to tell me. It is nat that she is disrespectful, or that she does not wish to take the trouble to come to me—she always travels alh the way to wherever I am before de- livering her message—but she invari- iy her approach with the g of my name in varying degrees of loudneds, I frowned as I rose, for I feared that she would waken Dicky. It was the day after his attack of lumbago ~—we had summoned a physician after all, who had quickly diagnosed his mysterfous attack of pain, and pre- scribed not only for it, but for his burns from the raw turpentine with which § had bathed his back by mis- take and he had spent rather a sleep- fess night. I knew that he was sleep- ing eoundly, and I went quickly to the door, and put my finger to my lips as Katle reached the top of the statrs. “ dear., again!” sweeping bow in which S s Toow forast !’ 5he | more than a hint of malicious mook- #aid in a stage whisper that.I was whimsically sure could have been heard in Crest Haven. “Is Meester Graham asieep?” “Yes, he-is,” sternness, ‘and you must be careful not to waken him.” “I *s’pose he so mad by me he want to firp me,” she -sald lugubriously,’ forgetting her errand in her reme: brance of the day before when she very | !

Bvaryone loves courage Especially physical courage. There is no quality in the world that more | quickly starts the quivers of admira- tion. | '“Greater love hath no man thsn this that he lay down his life for & friend,” and he who attests his wil- Jingness £6r the supreme sacrifice sets the ‘aliords of all our hearts a-thrilling. Moral courage, the courage tha ®raves the danger of ridicule scorn instead of physical danger also has its meed of admiration,—not so universal but none the less precious because rarer. The Courage That Won't Be Dis- \ Couraged. But the courage that to my mind deserves the greatest admiration of Comrade. The courage that sets its teeth after each new difficulty, and then smiles. The courage that turns its face resolutely toward the sun of hope and optimism. The courage that consumes its own amoke. “The Courage That Just Won't Get © ‘Souwr. - The courage that refuses to be made sour and bitter, no matter how grevi- ous the disappointments. The courage that cures its own de- pression by cheering up someone else. The courage that doesn't eventually give out but no matter what happens, | “keeps on keeping on.” ‘There are times in every man’s life when the hand of fate seems to be against him. He faces down one dis- $ppointment only to find another wait- ing for him. It is then that the weak man or woman begins to whine, in his heart if not aloud. His mouth droops at the corners and his shoulders sag and he makes acrid comments on his neighbor’s prosperity. Are You the Captain of Your Soul. But it is then that the strong man shows forth in all his strength as the man who ‘“can’smile when everything goes dead wrong.” The man who wishes gains abso- lutely nothing by whining. He doesn’t escape any hardships or disappoint- ments. He simply robs himself 'of the one good thing his trouble should have brought him,—the proof that he is indeed “the captain of his goul Courage, comrade, if going wrong. This is your chance to show your merits. You are the one for whom this was written. Don't whine. Don’t lose your grip. things are Just grit your teeth and keep on kesping NEW MODEL FOR A DELECTABLE SUIT YOUTHFUL\LINES. The round, flat neck of this Russian blouse stamps it as a new design. The fabric is tan broadcloth, much trim- med with stitchery in black, tan and white silk. ¢ FERRIS WHEEL GIRLS IN NO{’EL SPECIALTY Introducing a new act of novel type, the Ferris Wheel girls are ap- pearing at Keeney’ this week and are attracting general attention. The young ladies do a series of acrobatic stunts while on a revolving ferris Wheel and introduce several clever trapese tricks. Their act is - prettily arranged and it hould be a success as & vaudeville attraction. Harvey, a pair 8f high class enter- tainers, have a song and plano act that is exceptionally good. The Great Richards does a novel butterfly dance. Topping the film program for to- night, Friday and Saturday, will be “The Wax Model,” a Paramount pro- duction in which Vivian Martin plays the leading role. There will be sev- eral other good photoplay features. NANCE O'NEIL IN “THE FINAL PAYMENT” Action is the key-note of “The Final Payment,” the Fox festure for today, and from the very beginning when the hero falls overboard in the fight for his life against his enemy’s dagger, and continues the fight as they floynder-about in the deep waters until the final swift blow of retribu- tive justice, excitement marks the whole production. Nance O’Neil Broadway's favorite emotional actress, plays part of a simple Itallan girl, the fisherman’s sweetheart, and her remarkable success in the role is an- other tribute to her versatility. . The breesiest gshort subject seen In many moons is the two-reel picture taken from a Black Cat story, “Al- ladin’s Lamp.” | It is the story of a young man who finds himself in the position to put through a big and very profitable business deal, but in conse- quence of & long run of hard luck, he lacks the proper apparel in which to meet his prospective ‘“good angel.” The manner in which he acquires the necessary dry gqods makes up one of the most logical and at the same time unexpected plotas that has ever been condeénsed into two reels, Other short subjects, including the popular Pathe News, completes the program. The feature for tomorrow and Sat- urday is “Forget-Me-Not,” in which the beautiful Kitty Gordon stars. It s sald by those who have seen this pic- ture and compared it with some of her other famous characterizations, that never in her ceveer has she heen given such opportunity to display her tal- ents. And it i{s safe to say that she has never been known to neglect an opportunity. | Household Notes | Deon’t rely on inspiration in the get- ting of meals; it is far better to plan definitely. Bread to be wholesome for any member of the family should be thoroughly baked. Turpentine will destroy many of the insects that are objectionable around the houses.

The nawest sports blouse is made of men's silk shirting. Picot-edged velvets appear on the dressier types of hats. A new velling has a design made of ostrich feather flues. short- Plain white cottons and linens are favored for wash skirts. Garden hats are trimmed with veg- etables made of ribbon. Metal grays and olives promise to be still more fashionable. Hair-lace edging reliéves the sever- ity of the tailored hat. The reversible satin coat will be the fashionable summer wrap. A hat of purple and a navy blue dress make a pretty combination. Lingerie dresses are very frilly and very necessary to the fashionable ‘wardrobe. Many summer evening dresses are made of black tulle, over white or sil- ver foundations.
