ADMISSION 50c LYCEUM THEATER THIS EVENING, MAY 29, 8 REVEI.ATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON Why Madge Felt stnn;a!y Annoyed | &t a "Phone Message From Dicky. “That you Madge?” Dicky’s voice came over the phone from the city, holding a note fa- miliar to me. It is one that always creeps into his voice when he some favor of me which he knows is unreasonable, “Yes,” I answered, smiling to my- self. “What is it, dear?” ‘“Would it ,put you out very much [1£: I brought a man home to dinner and to stay the night?” . “Why, no,” I answered momptly, although I was not especlally joyful at the prospect, “Do I know him?" “No, but for that matter, neither do I. Met him at lunch today, and he seemed to take an ynaccountable in- terest in yours truly ,especially when I began to tell him about our shack [there. Guess he wants to get a place in the country. “Anyway, you know me. The bril- liant thought struck me that it would be. a good idea to show off beautiful loving wife and country home to lonely bachelor, hence my invitation, which he grabbed pronto. So do your prettiest, sweetheart. We'll be thére about 6 o’clock. Hope it won’t in- convenience you. So long.” I hung up the receiver with a dis- tinct feeling of annoyance at Dicky. It was not the first time he had | ‘Dhoned to tell me he was bringing a guest to dinner, but always before it had been some one I had met at least once. And there was something about Dicky’s meeting with this man and the circumstances of the invitation that made me dread to meet him. He must be a Tarely critical person, indeed, “for Dicky to, wish to “show off” his home to him. I knew Dicky weli enough to detect under his non- sence a real desire to have the house, the dinner and my own appearance as creditable as.I could make them. Of caurse, the first consideration was the, dinner.. I knew if that went off well the rest of my problem would be easy. Katie always . keeps the house in exquisite order, for she is the ' kind of woman who's never happy un- less she has & broom in one hand and a dusting cloth in the other. I knew that if I ‘personally attended - to the roam the guest was to occupy, the ar- rangement of the dinner table and such flowers as I wished to get," Katie would do the rest. I sat down in my big fireside chair and planned the menu. ‘What Madge Planned, Oysters, of course, for anyone com- ing out to dinner on the south shore of Lang Island would expect oysters “fresh from the bay.” I could send Jim to the harbor for them any time during the forenoon. The rest of the dishes I picked be- cause of Katie's proficiency in cooking them. Her cream of celery soup is always excellent, and I have taught her to.roast fowl according to an old recipe of my mother’s, until they would—-as Dicky says—make a man forget his home in the enjoyment of their lusciousness. For vegetables I planned scalloped potatoes and new snap beans. 1 decided not to have a fish course, and, as it was so late in the winter, to have a spring salad of watercress, cucumbers and chives, with a French dressing. Then one of Katie's des- serts, with cheese and coffee, would complete a dinner which I felt reason- ably sure would appeal to any hungry man, even if he were as critical as Dicky’s manner indicated, As I neared the kitchen I heard Jim's voice, roughly tender. “Never mind, kid, don’t you care, it willcome out right never fear,” and Katle's subdued sniffle in return. I s#opped outside the daor, not wishing to intrude upon them, wondering vaguely what was troubling Katie. Then I heard the outside door close, and the clatter of pans upon the stove, and knew that Katle was at work again. 1 saw traces of tears upon her face as I entered the room, but decided to ignore them, especially as I saw Katie keep her face averted from me as much as possible. She evidently. did not wish me to know she had been 1 made my voice as brisk and matter-of-fact as possible, sus- pecting that the stimulus of a dinnes for a guest would do her good. “Mr. Graham has just telephaned that he will bring a man home for dinner to- night.' He will stay all night and be here for breakfast in the morning.. I want an especially nice dinner, with one of those delicious pink puddings of yours, you know the kind you made for Mr. Graham’s mother the first dinner she ate with us.” What Afls Katie? It was an unfartunate reference. Katie’s face hardened, “ know,” she said, “dot time ‘water got in one side, she find out, no touch. I no like dot old womans— hope she not coom back for long, long time.” Of course, I should have reproved the girl, but I knew by the traces of tears on her cheeks that she was upon the verge of an emotional outbreak, and that would mean perhaps a spolled dinner; certainly an impair- ment of her usual efficiency. I skirted the question carefully. “I am sure no water will get on the pudding this time, and it is such a pretty one, I am especially anxious for you to make it. Have Jim kill a couple of the best chickens for roast- ing, and send him for three dozen oysters—that will be enaugh for you and Jim, too.” “All right, I feex,” Katie returned. “Vot vegetables and salad?” I told her, and gave her all the di- rections she needed for dinner. She assented with her usual willingness, but the note of enthusiasm with which “Kie-Yie-Yie! Get Me ‘Gets-It’ Quick!” 2 Drops Make Corn “Fall” Off! T've joined the Never-Again Club. Never will_I use anything for corns but ets-It.” Put 2 drops of ‘Gets-It' on, and from that second the corn begins to shrivel, 5 oo'cmtrotm. LAST GHANGE !!!

As I went upstairs to prepare a room for the guest, I wandered again what was the matter with Katle, TWO SHOWINGS OF “THE WHIP” TONIGHT That no exaggeration was made in the prophesy that “The Whip” would take New Britain by storm, was proved beyond the shadow of doubt last night, when hundreds of people stoad for hours in the steady down- pour of rain awaiting their turns to see the photo-play that is the talk of the town. Within the theater. the huge crowd that packed the house was aroused to a continuous pitch of en- thuslasm and frequently expressed it§ excitement in hearty applause at the vivid train wreck, the wild race be- tween automobile and train, the neck and neck horse races, and the many ather hair-raising incidents. For the accommodation of the hundreds who have been turned away for lack of room, as well as for those who have been prevented by the weather from seeing this masterpiece of the screen; the management has arranged to give two showings of “The Whip tonight, beginning at 7 and 9 o’clock respec- tively. Another big picture will head the bill for Memorial Day and Thursday. “The Silent Lie” is the title, and it is a big powerful tale of a woman's unique vengeance. The ‘story is laid in the fascinating northwest, the coun- try of eternal snows, and the natural scenery of the locality presents a most effective background for a story of unequaled heart-appeal and origin- ality. The fact that “The Silent Lie” Wwas written and directed by Raoul ‘Walsh, who is a brother of “Smiling George.” and the most effective di- rector on _the Willlam & Fox staff, should be sufficient guarantee of its merit. Mr. Walsh directed “The Hanor System,” and many other big popular productions. The progran will be augmented by many other pic- tures, including the Pathe News, and a snappy Fox comedy. The show will run continously on Wednesday, from 1:45 to 10:30 -and hond;y prices will prevail. LIBERTY BOND FOR PATRON OF KEENEY'S A free chance on a fifty dollar lib- erty loan will be given to every man, woman and child that attends Keen- ey’s this-week.” This is a gift of the management, and when Friday night rolls around, somebody. will be the The feature film, for tonfght is the famous Jesse L. Lasky production of “Fach to His Own-King | most actor of Japan, Mr. Sessue Hay- akawa, was secured at great expense for this film and it is absolutély with- out hesitation that film critics all over the country advise theatergoers to attend. The box office reports this photo drama is the biggest drawing card of the season, and already the management has started dickering for other Hayakawa pictures so that the admirers of this clever oriental actor will not be disappointed. THe ever popular “Purple Mask” still holds its own in the popularity contest. The lovers of the mysterious certainly are given the treat of treats in this episode now showing. The cli- max is reached and all those people that have theories about the outcome should not let this opportunity slip by to strengthen or undo their ideas. Friday and Saturday of this week, the famous Broadway hit of the year will be shown. The Pathe production of a ‘“Neglected Wife” will start at this time. The three acts of vaudeville is up to standard, and that is enough in it- self to start a rush to the box office. COMPOUNCE SEASON -OPENS TOMORROW The season at Lake Compounce will open on Memorial Day and the management has had a carps of busy workers engaged for the past several weeks in getting the pleasant sum- mer resort in readiness for the day. The big added attraction this year will be the new roller coaster, which has been installed just north of the casino. It is one of the finest in the country, giving a ride over a half a mile in length. The framework has been completed for several weeks and the machinery is now being installed. It will be ready for the opening on Memorial Day. All of the other attractions will be retained for the seeason and will be in full operation on the opening day. The fleet of boats have been thoroughly averhauled and painted, the seats and lounging places through- out the park have been put in first class shape, the bowling alleys have been renovated, and the bath house has been, put in readiness for this popular sport On the opening day a concert will be given by the Bristol City Band and there will be set fireworks in the evening. Dancing will be enjoyed at the pavillion afternoon and evening. Leke Compounce is located in the centetr of the busiest cities in the state and will prove a popular amuse- ment giving pleasure ground during the coming season. The proprietors, Plerce and Norton, have already made & number of bookings for picnics and parties. People who know the convenience of collars and cuffs fastened to the dress with snap fasteners instead of basting thread will never return to the old way. Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast.

Jet and iridescent beads are still used on dark serge or gaberdine. Cherry-red ribbons tie the collars and cuffs of a pretty ecru dress. The general tendency continues to be for simple and straight dresses. Foulards with polka dots and small squares are especially in favor. Sheer black muslin embroidered ‘with red dots makes a most effective hat. A white tailored linen blouse is more becoming if bound in blue or rose. 5 For seashore wear there are pretty beach capes in dainty evening shades. Very wide and softly folded gir- dles are used on the filmy summer Married Wome The man who sells is an important factor in. any business. But not so important as the man who buys. At least 80 & business man told me re- cently. In the business of married life, in nine cases out of ten, the women are the buyers. One often hears married =women complaining because their work is so monotonous and uninteresting and wishing they could go into -business where they would have some chance to use their brains. Yet in the majority, of cases these ‘women are not using their brains in their share of the world’s business. In Fact the Small Income Is the Hardest to Spend Wisely: To spend even a small income in the wisest, most efficiant way is truly a task for all & woman has not only of brains but of character. Take the brain side of it first. A first class buyer, the kind who if she were a man would be offered positions by other houses, will know the value, not only the price, of all she buys. In the matter of food she will ‘understand cuts of meat, she will know about the food values of various articles, she will see every- thing she buys instead of shopping by telephon It is not the people who have the least money who buy most carefully. A settlement. worker told me of a woman who had six dollars a week to feed a family of five on and in- cluded in her budgst a.head of let- tuce & day (ninety per cent water) The Woman Who Fills, Not Just Holds Her Job. In the mattei of dry goods she will also be enough of a judge of Thaterials not to be at the mercy of the clerk. She will'know sleazy goods, she will be able to detect the shod. diness that so often lurks under the gloss of attractive styles. ' She will know at what shop éach article can be bought at best advantage. These ' are & few,—just a few,—of the ways'in which a ~woman who wants to fill her job of ' buyer, not merely hold it by virtue of the mar- riage service, will use her brains. ° The world’s war has been extended This war must be won. Every American must do-llis part. Two billlon dollars must be raised by June 15th. Here is what you can do—only do it noW' ‘ . o n in Business Now as to ‘character- The wemsn ' who buys to the best advantage must have self restraint. She must what she needs most and be able ta steer a straight course towards It despite all temptations. She Just Went on a Spending Ip-h A dear little married friend of showed me a most attractive table she had bought. It was gain, it was pretty, it was nice have- But she 'needed so many ¥ of every kind more! “My husband -\fi I shouldn't have bought it. He's al. - ways finding- fault with what I buy,” she pouted. - . Poor little lady! I know just how it was. She has to scrimp and save all the time and she fell in love with this and knew it was a good value and 6 just went on a spres and bought it} % And that's' where character comes in. —_— .
