REVELATIONS % at Madge Found in Dicky’s Chif- fonier and What She Feared. As I picked up the kodak picture that I had found in Dicky's chiffonier drawer which I was clearing out for the use of the guest he was bringing home with him, I hdticed an inscrip- tion beneath the figures of Dicky and the two pretty girls, “Rescuer and rescued, Dicky- bird, Edith and Leila, President' speech, Madison Square Garden. I drew in my breath sharply. At my first glimpse of the kodak print I had told myself that it was probably some picture taken in the days be- fore Dicky met me and -that the only question that needed to trouble me was, why he preserved the memento? But the sight of the inscription and my consequent study of the pretty faces turned up to my hus- band’s brought back most vividly to my mind one of the most humiliating experiences of my life. Again frightened and almost un- able to breathe from the pressure of the crowd around me, I stood by Dicky’'s side in the mob surraunding Madison Square Garden on the night of the pre-election speech of the president of the United States. I saw him nod reassuringly in answer to the frightened glances of two girls whom KEENEY’S July days is this simple model, ‘up in green and white plaided the plaids being accentuated ih' a fine black stripe.

I'll zee you I had contrasted his manner toward the two girls, who were distinctly,| pretty and of the'frilly clinging type, helpless type, with the rude way in which he had greeted my frightened exclamation at the pushing of the crowd, but a few moments before. I had thought that the cup of my hu- miliation was full then, but when a little later Dicky had dashed to the rescue of one of the girls who had been thrown from her feet and in doing so had become separated from me, leaving me_alone in that awful mob, I learned what humiliation and terror as well really mean, - I could hear again ‘the shriek of one of the girls, “Dicky, they're kill- ing EAdith!"” So this was “Edith” whom Dicky had told me when I had first seen the girls, that they were art students fram Virginia who had a studio in the same building which housed Ditky. He had spoken of them nonchalantly, with almost a paternal air. A Harmless Prank? “They're F. F. V's and all that sort of rot,” he had said. “Think they're studying art ,but they'll never amount to a hill of beans at it. Mighty nice girls though. Every man and woman in the bullding looks out for them. Regular Babes in the Wood, they are, both of them. We all wish ta tl Lord some nice man would come along and marry them.” “Both of them at once?” I had asked in a banal attempt to hide the depression of spirits I had felt at his courtesy to them, his discourtesy to me. The stirring events which had followed my visit to the garden had banished the girls efféctually from Thy mind until the sight of the foolish little picture with Dicky evidently: posing as-the hero rescuer with the adoring rescued. girls at his feet, brought it all back to me. Of course I realized that the stan- dard of the studios was not the Puri- tanical one which my early training had given me. The kodak print was a harmless bit of sport, & prank such as might be played any day with no thought of harm. Yet I knew that in my own girlhood I would never have allowed a photograph to be made of myself and a married man unless his wife were Included in the picture or knew about it. But I told myself that T must get rid of those old ideas and adapt myself to my husband’s widely differing ones, And yet! A In Receptive Mood. " T¢ it had 'not béen for the. provi- dential nearness of Dr. Pettit in the mob upon that night and his acci- dental discovery of me, I would prob- ably have received serious injury, un- protected as I was in the mad struggle to get into the building. I recalled Dicky’s abominable behavior to both Dr. Pettit and myself when he finally found his mad jealousy of the young physician, 1 wondered what Dicky would say it he found in my possession a photo- graph of Dr. Pettit and myself en- titled, “Rescuer and Rescued.” Then the little leering, mocking devil on whom I can always depend for diabolical suggestions when I am in a receptive mood, whispered two startling words in my ear. “Why not?” FIRST SYMPHONY CONGERT The New Britain Community Orchestra .40 PLAYERS Mr. Joseph C.

FRANK BLANCO’S ROYAL I TALIAN BAND “THE SILENT LIE” HEART GRIPPING FILM Filled with unusual situations, tense with dramatic incident, and supported by the incomparable scen- ery of the land of . eternal snows, “The Silent Lie” held the huge holi- day audience at Fox's yesterday spell-bound from beginning to end. To be sure, something out of the or- dinary was looked for in this most recent product of Raoul Walsh, but all expectations were surpassed at the startling story of Lou, the little girl of the frozen north, whose un- scrupulous step-father, half-crazed by the infidelity of Lou's mother, viciously determines to avenge him- self on innocent Lou, as the repre- sentative of all woman-kind. To this /end he forces her to deal faro in his gambling house, and by compelling heér to mingle with men and women of the lowest natures, attempts to undermine her moral constitution. She secures temporary protection, however, by means of a -small ‘weapon secretly given her by one of the pitying dancing girls, and, . es- caping, is caught alone in a terrific blizzard out in the desert of snow. To its very last scene, the picture is of the kind that keeps an aundience worried, wondering what Hhappens next. Miriam Cooper, the: star of “The Honor System,” does splendid work in the role of Lou. The Pathe News shows ,mam,’ incidents of pres- ent interest, in { particular giving many scenes of patriotic receptions given to General Joffre on the occa- sion of his recent visit to the larger cities of this country. Seyeral other good short subfects round out a bilk of unusual merit.

I am thinking especially of disap- pointments and mistakes, ‘While I was housecleaning the other day I came upon an old ‘copy of my college magazine, in which was print- ed the class poem of which I was the author. ‘As I looked at it I remem- bered with a rush what was at the time one of the bitterest disappoint- ments of my youth. I was a wery poor writer, the editor had not been able to make out my scrawl, and when the college magazine came out, the poem over which I had tolled so lov- ingly was garbled in several places. |- There had been one phrase in it which the college professor whose praise was my highest guerdon had said was really good. And that. phrase was changed! And Now I Cpuld Smile, I had been fairly frantic when I first got that magaszine. The little changes made me say such absurd things! And of course I couldn't go around explaining to everybody. As I sat on a trunk in the attic turning the pages I could remember all my impotent indignation and hu- miliation. And yet, instead of sighing I was smiling. For all the sting, all the humiliation, had gone. It didn't seem anything to regret, just some- thing to smile at in the tender way one smiled at all memories. It Is Harder to Forgive One’s Own Mistakes. That was a disappointment. Mis- takes are not quite so easy to for- glve because there is a mixture of self-blame in them and nothing is more exasperating than one's own stupidity. The hands we lose be- cause we didn't have the cards, never rankle like the hands we lose because we_played them foolishly. But even mistakes begin to fade into harmony with the pattern if you give them a decade or two. “I was foolish but I.learned a good lesson,” A BACK TO ROBUST STRENGTH Are ‘you losing your grip on things?
