TEL. 900 SIDE TALKS A Thin There are some people who seem to place their hopes of Heaven in other people’s failure to keep true ta ideals. A queer depository, ism’'t it? And to my mind about as. safe as a card- board box would be for a safety vault. Perhaps you don’t at once recog- nize the type I mean. I mean the sort of person who ex- plains his failure to become a Christ- ian by pointing to somsé of the people ‘who profess to be Christians and don’t do the name any honor. “What do I want to belong to the church for?” he will say. ‘Look at Mr. M. Did you ever see a meaner skinflint? And he's a deacon. No, thank you. I've no use for such hy- pocrisy.” She Might Be Glad if She nwm Gossip. Or a woman will say, “When I hear some of those Ladies’ Aid women glad I don’t belong to As if that were anything to boast about. She might well be glad if she didn’t gossip, but she probably does. Only she feels she has a license to do 80 because she has never been will- ing to place the frestraint of a public pledge to higher ideals upon herpeif. Not to fall below ideals because you haven’t any. is no particular credit. That's No Reason You Shouldn’t Try. Becausé people who profess to be Christians aren't all they should be, REVELATIONS Excuss j doesn’t justify you one bit for being afraid to even try. And it is furthermore greatly to your discredit to persistently judse any movement by those who dii grace it instead of those who honor it. In my morning paper the other day I noticed that the Executive Commit- tee of the Russian revolution posted a proclamatiol condemning acts of violence supposeda to be committed by revlutionists. ‘‘Only ' madmen or enemies of national liberty are cap- able of such revolting acts which might compromise the Russign revo- lutio; sald the placard, and went on to appeal” to the people to pre- vent a repetition of such acts, re- membering that the high ideals for which they stand mltht be Judnd by them. ‘Why Not Judge the Onuse M Those ‘Who Homor It. Every cause from Christianity down has within its ranks those who disgrace it one way or another. To judge the cause by these few is like judging &, beautiful garden by a few weeds. And to think that you are excused from pledging yourself to the ideals for which any great movement stands, because some who have pledged themselves fall, is the pet- tiest and most childish- form of nl( blind- toldlng OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON MWhat Madge Really Feared Most of AlL I do not believe that ever in my life have I felt so utterly helpless as I did when I finally hung up the tele- phone after my controversy with the manager of the Crest Haven Taxi company, in which he had reiterated his inabjlity to provide any convey- ance for Dicky through the terrible drifts which were piled between our house and the Crest Haven . railway lon, I walked to the door, and opening it, faced for a moment the full fury of the storm which dashed the snow into my face so strongly that I could hardly stand against it. The porch was piled with drifted snow, and drifts gleamed whitely' everywhere against the dim light thrown out by the street lamps. “Missis Graham, are you crazy?” Katie pulled at my dress, and fairly dragged me through the door into the shelter of the hall, closing the door with difficulty after her. “You got noting on your head, no coat, dose slippers on feet. Vot you want to do? Keel yourself?” “Ohy Katie.” I clung to the girl in helpless desperation. “I don’t know what to do. I can’t get any word to Mr. Graham, and the taxi company won't do anything to help me, just say their taxis are stalled on account af the storm." “Dot Jim, he could go down to his brudder, get & horse, but it three miles down dere, and Jim he got so bad cold—" “That is not to be thought of, Katie,” I Teplied promptly, and was glad that she had no way of knowing how strong a temptation her proposi- tion was to me But Jim had narrow- ly escaped a serious fliness in the at- tack of grippe he had had, and send- ing him out in-'the storm was out of the question. “Oh, vell”—Katie's tone held all the m\ldity with which the foreign peasant mind faces physical tasks. “It bad storm, but Meester Graham, he not babee, he not be keeled if he do have to walk. Marvin, now, dot dangerous, railroad track and lake and brook and no bridges, but. Crest anen, all streets, houses. And it not He no freeze. Oder way I xueas. 1 tink he have vot you say— a hot neck by time he gets here.” What Katic Meant. For a moment I was bewildered by the girl’s queer expression, and then as the meaning of her wards came to me, I could not repress a smile, worried as 1 was, “You mean Mr. Graham's expres- sion ‘Hot under’ the collar,” Katie?” “Yes, dot's it,”” Katie returned, but with. no' answering chuckle . such as| usually occompanied one of her at- tempted witticisms, ‘The thought crossed my mind that I had not heard ane of Katle's irrepressible contagious gligsles for weeks, and I mentally re- solved that when Dicky was safely home again I would find out the reason for Katie's lack of spirits, “I am afraid he will be pretty angry Katie,” I said, “but it cannot be helped. Tell Jim to be eure to keep the fires going so that the house will be warm at 2 o’clock. Leave the tea kettle on the back of the stove, and lay out as good a lunch as you can. I will fix up something in the chafing dish if he’s extra hungry, and have some hot coffee ready at any rate. You-and Jim do not need to stay up. I am :ohu— to.try the livery stables| now.” Katte dep‘md and I spent the next hour at the telephone trying to peumo the proprietors of uvcrv | stables, grocery. stores ‘other and tablishments to furnish me a -!e!ch for the last train. I even called up the local fire and police departments, to hear polite voices express every shade of astonished amusement at-my request. A Last Effort. Then as a last resort I sent two telegrams addressed to Dicky, one to .| the Flatbush station, Brooklyn, and the other to the Pennsylvania station, New York, with requests that he be paged just before the last train ,and, humiliated but desperate, called the taxi company again, hoping that the night man instead of the manager would be an duty. My wish was granted, but I am sure the manager would have been meanly gratified if he could have heard my humble petition to his as- sistant. 5 “This is Mrs. Richard Graham,” 1 explained. “Mr, Graham is coming to Crest Haven on the last train and expects a taxi to .meet him. I will pay you the same fare you would re- ceive for the trip if you will meet him at the station, explain to him that the taxis are sot runnming, and tell him that I asked you ta take care of any bundles he may have, until to- morrow."” “All right, Mrs. Graham.” The answer came back cheerily. “I'l do the best I can.” Not until I had hung up the re- ceiver upon this final feeble effort to save the situation did I face the real reason for my frantic efforts. I realizsed thati while I was deeply con- cerned for the physical inconvenience, the possibility of taking a sever cald, which Dicky might meet, yet ‘over- shadowing ‘these fears was the dread I had of his anger when he should find that he had to walk from Crest Haven through the snow home. THREE REAL STARS ON FOX PROGRAM It is not often that two pictures which present three of the greatest stars in filmdom, are in one show, but such is the case at Fox's theater for today and tomorrow. Clara Kimball Young, the greatest emo- tional actress of America, 1s too welt known to require any introduction and the same may be said of her co- star, Earl Willlams. Suffice it to say, then, that her present vehicle, “Her Mistake,” is considered one of the best bits of work that she has ever done. Her riva] for feature honors on the program is Stuart Holmes, the most famous villain of the films. Holmes 1s the Theda Bara of the male sex, and as-a ‘‘heavy” there is none equal to him. In “The Broadway Sport,” however, his role is a little different than from his previous pic- b plays the part of a poor 111-constdered bookk in a‘ small- town flour mill In the first part of | the picture, and his characterizstion marks him as one of the most ver- -uh performers of the screen. Hezekiah Dill he robs a couple of burglars of their spoils, and, over- come by & vision of the wonders he could accomplish with sa much money on the great white way, he affords one of the sprightiiest fivgy reels of rapid fire action imaginable. A scene of hystérical comedy occurs when he réturns to the small town to claim:the lady of his heart, and, ‘seeing a wedding in progress, kid- naps the bride, and finds her to be a spinster who had set her cap for him months before and lost. A number of other good ghort sub- ‘round out a bill of exceptional merit. GENEROUS WELCOME 70 NEW ORCHESTRA Community Players Make Impres- sion on Enthumsuc Audience “To the victor belongs the npolh" describes perfectly a notable success scored in the local musical world last evening. The event was the first Symphony concert given by the New Britain Community orchestra in the Grammar school hall under the di- rection of Joseph Clair Beebe, con- ductor. From the time the first number, Sixth Symphony—(Surprise) by Haydn, was rendered unti] the time when the strains of the “Star Spangled Banner,” which was ' ths grand finale, reverberated through the hall, the audience was enthusi- astic over the entertainment and generous in their applause, one in- dividual applauding before a number was finished. g The success of the Community ‘orchestra seems assured. Started by ‘Willlam C. French, principal of the Grammar school, with a few of the best musiciang who were willing to offer their services gratis for the sake of their art and that New Britain might not fall behind other cities in the realm of music it would seem that after last night's performance their hopes’ are to be realized. Not & elip was made last evening, at least, none that the casual observer could discover and the numbers were ren- dered with clock-like precision and In & manner that showed the result of sacrifice and hard work in preparing for the event. In- keeping Wjth the work of the Community orchestra was the man- ner in which the soloists rendered their different numbers. Miss Veron- ica Bolan, harpist, and Frederick W. Latham, baritone, were the two chosen to complete the well-balanced program. Both of the performers are well and favorably known for their musical talent, Miss Bolan being a harpist of exceptional ability and Mr. Latham ‘a fine baritone with a strong and finished voice.

Clowns? Yes, do: of them! The circus will arrive in forty double-length railroad cars early to- morrow. The young boy and the old boy will be on hand to meet it and witness the picturesque scenes of de- trainment and the march of man and beast to the show grounds. A swarm of advance representa- tives, making certain that no detail for the reception and tenancy of the cirqus has been overlooked in the ar- rangements which began weeks ago, réached the city today. The trémen- dous quantities of food required must await the arrival of the institution, an abundance of wholesale water must be in readiness, tentative loca- tions must be selected for the score of tents, big and little, heavy planks are needed for the ‘safe and expe- ditious unloading from the cars of the great chariots and tableau floats. The Sparks Cireus parade will: amase all onlookers, it is confidently promised.
