I applied the liquid preparation which Lillian Underwood had left in my chiffonnier drawer to the faint patches of flame color just below my throat, reminders of the burns I had recelved at Dicky's birthday dinner, and which I was afraid would spoil the effect of the dinner goawn I had put on in honor of the guest my hus- mand was bringing home. Then I stepped nearer to the mirror to view the effect. It certainly dis-; guised the faint acars, but to my dis-| may 'I gaw there was such a difference between the . color of the preparation and the natural ting of my own skin that I must either remove what I had put on or cover my entire throat, shoulders and arms with the stuff.

I became more nervous with every jpassing minute, and when I heard the roll of a taxi below, having come up on a train 15 minutes earlier than the one Dicky had mentioned over the telephone, I ! gazed at the ghastly image of myselt in the mirror with a feeling of horror, “For the love of Mike, Madge, what the devil does this mean?” | Dicky burst into the room,.his face like a thundercloud. I knew, . of course, that he must be angry and i disappointed at my failure to meet and greet his guest below stairs, but the absolute aversion on his face as he looked at me made me shiver. Censure and Pralse, “Have you gone out of your mind?" he demanded. “Do you think I'm going to let you come dawnstairs looking like that? What in thunder ever possessed you?

Now tell me quickly how to get this blasted stuff off!” i “Oh, Dicky, if you only could!” I said brokenly. “I was afrald the scars 0f my burns would show above Ithls gown ,and then when I had begun to fix it all over alike.” I think Dicky heard the tears in voice, and realized that if I could not /| keéep fram weeping he would have a Ted-eyed wife to introduce to his new acquaintance. At any rate’ he | changed his manner instantly. “Goose!” he said tenderly, ‘“‘those You're foolishly sensitive about them. Here, tuck these towels about your gown and give me some cold cream. I'll get this stuff off in a Jifty.” And then, Dicky, smiMngly, ten- derly remaved the horrid ghastly mess with cold cream, wiped the -flesh carefully, and then dusted rice, powder over the exposed surfaces as skilfully as a lady’'s maid could have done. ‘“There!” he said, stepping back and surveying me, “you.- haven't a trace of a scar, And my eye! what a scrumptuous gown! Come give me a kiss for reward, and let's go.down- |’ stairs to our guest. I guess "you wan’t put his eyes out!” he finished extravagantly, and I knew that Dicky ‘was doing his level best to restore my equilibrium. His kiss was hurried, though ten- der, and then, seizing my hand, he started for the door. But I stopped him, noticing _for the first time that two florists’ Boxes lay uon the bed ‘where he had tossed them when he came Thought. “Whl.t are these, Dicky?” T asked. “By Jove!” Dicky stapped short and began to open the boxes: “Lucky you saw them. This bix box is for you, from Drake ,and in the smaller one is something which I hope will go With your gown, from yours truly.” He had opened the smaller box first and was holding out to me an ex- quisite cluster of creamy orchids ! deepening to gold at their throats and shot with rose. He laid them against my gowm-and gave a little sigh of catisfaction. I knew that his artistic . instinct was pleased, and I rejoiced, | for few things annoy my tempera- ' tints in clothing or furnishings. “Oh, Dicky! how perfect, and how dear of you.” I pinned the flowers to my gown and turned to find Dicky lifting from the other box a wonder- ful cluster of pink roses, ke certainly knows what's what,” he remarked. ‘These are sure the real thing.” N He held them off, admiring ‘them, then turned to me. “Hold out your arms,” manded. I did so, and he laid the lightly against my left arm. “There!"" he said, and again I heard the note of artistic satisfaction in his voice. “I guess that's not bad, eh? Came along.” I hung back for an imperceptible moment. I did not want to go down stairs like a debutante with my arms full of flowers. I resented the touch of flamboyance in Dicky that would wish such an exhibition, I knew, however, that it would be useless: to expect him to understand, so I fal- lowed him slowly down the stairs. But underneath everything else I was conscious of a disturbing little thought. I knew that in the course of frequent studio amateur theatricals Dicky must have used cold cream and cosmetics, But the perfect ease with which he had acted the part of lady’s maid in the completion of my toilet troubled me. he com- ASK FOR and GET Horlick’s | mental husband more than jarring | of marble that legves a lasting T ewywys~|SERIES OF THRILLS IN “WOMANHOOD” Some reasons for the remarkable success of Commodore ; J., BStuart Blackton’s soul-stirring drnm-, Wi manhood, the Glory of a Nation starring Alice Joyce and Harry Mo- rey with an all-star Vitagraph cast ‘which is shown Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Lyceum theater.

He owns & complete train of cars, forty wagons, and horses and animals enough to stock a circus. When asked as to Whether he has circus ideas. for com- |. ing seasons he replied, in the nega- tive, excepting as a part of a carnival. In restrospect he sees the circus fad-. ing, in view of the fact, that popular prices and short performances have driven the higher priced stars and purveyors backward, undoubtedly pioneered by the moving picture craze. Mr. Sheesley’s intention is to combine certain circus features, dem- onstrations of physical fitness such as ° will encourage healthy exercise, edu- cational features, and wholesome comedy that will drive away dull care. A week in a town is none too long as it gives an opportunity to be- come acquainted, and if the show is clean and Wworthy will make lasting friends. His company. is so large that it takes a lot of money to pay its ex- penses and a community rather bene- fits by its presence rather than be- coming poorer as much money is set into circulation. His wild animal features are a nro treat as Mr. Sheesley has spent small fortune in securing strange n.nd accomplished animals which consu- tute his thesplan force of beasts. ANIMAL STATUES IN SPARKS’ CIRCUS Sparks’ circus, which is billed to give two exhibitions here Thursday, June 14, has many novelties and new features this season, among which is the justly famous Woodford's Ani- 1 Statue. display consists of snow-white Arabian stallions and pedigreed white English setter dogs: There are three of these acts, exactly alike, one in each ring, and from an artistic sense easily hold the position of the most beautiful display of the entire circus program. A number of different famous hunt- ing scenes, and the wardrobe, trap- pings and paraphernalia being in the purest of white give an appearance im- pression of beauty with the audience.

It means of course, the peculiar antag- onism which, because of their diffec- ev¥n simultaneously with love. As a mate to this phrase I suggest “maid antagonism,”—the peculiar an- tagonism which subsists , between women and their domestic helpers. Surely you have noticed how many ‘women seem almost to hate their girls and live in what is close to a state of petty warfare with them, Their conversations with each other about them is usually one long string |._ of fault finding. They Are As Critical As They Dare Be. | ‘Towards the maids themselves their manner is a combination of the for- bearance imposed by the fear that if they 'lose one they will get something worse, plus as much criticism as they dare to give. Some women nag thelr maids just as they do their husbands—only & lit- tle more circumspectly because a lu.la can fire up her job. Of course with the average mald there is plenty of room for improve- ment but this fretful habit of picking on them is not the way to inspire it. 1 suppose part of the trouble is that whereas the man in an office who commands other meén has usually climbed up from the ranks, and knows what it is to be commanded, the wom- BARA IN “HEART AND SOUL” AT FOX'S What is without question the big- gest and most spectacular feature in ‘which the ever-popular Theda Bara has yet been presented, is “Heart and Soul”, the picturization of Sir Rider Haggard’'s well-known and justly famous novel of the Hawaiin Islands, “Jess’’. This vehicle which heads the Fox bill today and tomorrow presents Miss Bara in a‘type of picture to which she has hitherto been a strang- er. Formerly, she has starred in pic- tures that relied solely on dramatie value for effect. In ‘“Heasrt and Soul”, however, she is supported, in addition to the powerful heart-interest plot of thé plece, by & stupendous and elabor- ate production, upon which money was livished with absolutely no re- strictions. The resylting feature is a icent dramatic, spectacular masterpiece of the screen, the un- doubted orisis of her career.
