That is why. Because the the “you’ or “I" of the future is al- ways another person to us. Likewise the “you’” of the past.

'As I write there comes to; me a far more beautiful expression of this same thought. Do you remember it in Charles Lamb’s essay, ‘New Year's Eve.” Let me find it for you. “If I know aught of mywelf,” he writes, “no one can have less respect for his present identity than I have for the man Ela.

I dropped my snow shovel in a panic where I stood just outside the front gate of the old farmhouse at Marvin when I heard the loud pound- ing of Dicky’s fists ufon the dining yoom door at the other end of the house. The fear of his anger at having to walk from Crest Haven through the bliszard rflppq: me anew. It had sent me out Into the swirling snow ‘with the hysterical idea of digging a path to meet him, and it now prompted me to run anywhere into the drifts away from him. Then I pulled myselt together, picked up the shovel ,and hurried back to the house, scoring myself flercely not only for my lack of con- trol, but for my senseless timidity. It was not my fauilt, I told myself, that Dicky had been compelled to walk from Crest Haven. If the taxis had not been stalled by the blizzard the one I had ordered would have been at the station to meet him. I knew that in his foolhardiness he would have preferred his original plan, to walk the sharted distance from Marvin, but even the thought of his anger did not make me regret that I had frustrated that dangerous jour- ney across deserted fields, raliroad tracks, beside the lake and brooks. So it was with head up and shoul- ders braced to meet a torrent of in- vective that I unlocked the dining roam door and confronted ‘a most pitiable looking figure. ._ Dicky was covered with snow, and I could see that the drifts through which he had ploughed had come up his waist. Hjs arms trembled ‘with\exhaustion, and I 4id not won- der, for he had carried through those drifts, not anly the larme package of heavy antiques, but a bundle of all the New York BSunday papers—I might have expected that, for when- ever Dicky and I came out upon the| 2 o'clock Sunday morning tredn he invariably carried 'all the Sunday papers home with him. Then, on top of the heap a florist’s box smote reproachtully. . He had brought me flowers through all the storm! owihg him as I did I wondered that he had not flercely thrown them away when he first faced his long walk. A Silent Dicky. His face was dripping with per- spiration, but I did not dare to say anything or to offer to help him in any way, for his first look at me was one 80 black with anger as to make my fear of one of Dickys scenes come back to me. I wish I could get over myy. dtead of Dicky’s tantrums. I ought to realizo how evanescent his apasms of temper are, but I find my- self shivering at the prospect of ane, as if I feared an actual blow from Dicky. I stepped quietly aside as he en- tered, and .he walked past me tb the Mving room, where he sank into a chair before the fire, which I had kept up. The chair was one which I had recently bought, upholstered in English chintz, and I was afraid that the melting snow from Dicky’'s clothing—for he had not remaved a single article—would ruin it I opened my mouth {involuntarily to protest, then quickly closed it again. Tt was no time, I decided to speak of | anything. Going into the kitchen I put the coffee-upon the back of the kitchen stove that it might keep warm with- out boiling away, then went slowly back into the living room and sat] down in.a chair on the opposite side of the fire from my husband. He had not yet spoken a word. I knew he was almost too exhausted to speak, for his breath was ocoming in great labored gasps, and he lay back.in the chair like . a man spent with running. How I longed to help him out of his wet things and into the dry bathrobe, slippers and other necessary olothing I previously had brought downstairs ,and which were qocupying the chair next to Dicky. But I knew better than to open my mouth. How It Ended, I do not know how long we sat prospect of his tirade when he should recover his breath. But all at onoe the absolute ludicrous- ness of the situation struck me, and to my horror I realized that I could not control a smile at the ridiculous picture we mad I knew that a smile would only fan Dicky’s wrath, but I could nat help its appearance. To my great astonish- ment and joy, however, there was an answering sheepish grin on Dicky's face, & grin which widened and broadened until he flnally, gave a shout of laughter. “It's a darned good thing for you I couldn’t get my breath to speak when I first came in,” he said st last, and .I realized that Dicky's sense of humor had conquered his temper, womething which I had seen happen more than once before in our life to- gether, and I drew a long breath of relief. “If you'll get into your dry thln:l. I sald, indicating them, ‘I'll have something good and hot to eat and drink by the time you are ready.” “That sounds like regular stuff to me,” he answered, getting up from the chalr, then at the dismayed gasp I gave, he glanced at me sharply. “What's the matter?” he demanded, and then answered his own question as his gaze fell upon the delicate colorings of the chintz streaked and discolored with the melted snow from his clothing. “Gee!” he exclaimed regretfully, “That's a blasted shame. Why the dickens didn’t you tell me to sit in another chair.” “I didn’t think it was exactly the diplomatic thing to do just at that ’ moment,” I replied demurely. Dicky stared, then laughed uproari- ously. “Seeking the cyclone cellar, eh?” he slyly said, and then he grabbed me in a big bear hug, oblivious, man- fashion, dripping upon my gown, “Sweetheart, you're the best little scout going,” he sald. “As a matter of transpartation schedules I still in- alst you're a fiivver, but in all other ‘ways you certainly a regular guy.” And, woman lil I treasured the careless, slangy words in my heart.

Chambers, which wag directed by 8. Rankin Drew, starring America’s daintiest actress, Anita Stewart, are remarkably vivid and realistic, For the realism of this picture, which is the attraction at the Lyceum theater today and Saturday, the Vita- graph company erected a French village In their immence open-air studio. Here cobble stones were laid for the street, skirted on either side by the rough sidewalks before the quaint two-story houses with the gable roofs. In the center of the pub- lic square they placed the fountain which sings a happy song of peace and contentment in the first part of the picture as it tinkles into the large stone basin. , Then the neighboring country was searched for rough market wagons, such as the French peasants use on market day when they bring their goods into town from . the country. [Elventually it {wgs found necessary %o build them from a valuable model A large flock of sheep was then in- stalled with the old shepherd and his crook. Hundreds of extra people were dressed as French peasants, and they may be seen strolling arm in arm and in groups as they buy and sell goods, But the enemy is merciless in its effort to gain victory and suddenly the peacefu1 inhabitants are startled by the bursting of a shell in the village square. Furniture dragged from the houses is placed on either side of the foun- tain forming a barsicade. Now one house falls; then as it catches fire the flames extend to the next building. The girl Philippa, played by Anita Stewart, is in terror lest the house which holds the proofs to her right- ful heritage—nobility—be destroyed before she can enter the wine-cellar and obtain the precious papers which are concealed in a safe. Toward the house she runs as though on wings. and it is only by the merest chance that she reaches it in time to claim what is rightfully hers, that his wet clothing was! ‘DID YOU SEE HER NEW VEST AND BELT?

Undoubtedly one of the primary causes of the at- tention it has attracted is the fact that the star is no less a person than the world-renowned Sarah Bernhardt, who has for years been the idol of every theater devotee in the civilized world. This is Madame Bernhardt's latest picture, and will probably prove to be her last, as her condition during the past winter gives promise of but little histrionic activity in the future. “Mothers of France” has received more criticlsm of a favorable nature than any other film of its kind has ever been known to receive. The New York Journal says of it: “Probably no greater lesson has been shown since the war began than the heart-rending five-reel feature, ‘Mothers of 1'rance’.” It scored a great success at the Rialto theater in New York. - The theme of the plot is the loyalty and patriotism SIMPLY SAY “HARGE IT A DOLLAR A WEEK PAYS YOUR BILL NO “EXTRA" COST SUMMER OF ANY KIND WAISTS: Dresses, Skirts, Shoes, {Eto.
