N News For Theatergoers and Women Readers REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON Why Mulge Was Really Worried Over | With real pleasure that I went about Dicky's Perplexing Moods. “What are you going to do today?" Mrs. Durkee’s soft voice came over the telephone, cosily comfortable, full of friendly neighborliness. ! “I hadn’t planned anything especial, | why “Then come on into the city with me. I haven't a thing to wear, my winter things are simply rags, and they're showing some wonderful spring hats and suits at Hambels. I'll take you to lunch at the dearest little tea room I discovered the other day; it's my party today, understand, and then if we're not too tired we'll telephone the boys and make them take us to dinner and the theater, al- though I'm really not fit to be seen.” ‘‘Poor Flara McFlimsey of Madi- son Bquare,’” I mocked. Mrs. Durkee’s merry laugh came over the telephone. It is one:of her chief charms, a girlish, bell-like peal which just suits the dainty, childlike personality of the little woman, “That's just what Alfred called me this morning. But I don’t care,” defi- antly. “My things are rags, and I might just as well get new spring clothes now as later." “Even if the snow is two feet deep in places?” I could not forbear teas- ing -her. ‘ “Even if it were nine feet,” = she flashed back. *“T believe you're trying to get out of going with me, and I'm not going. to let you get away with it. Put on your things and meet me at the 10:21. Dicky's gone hasn’t he? I waited until I heard that 8:15 pull out before ‘phoning you.” Madge Agrees to Go. A ers. he's gone,” I returned, “and I shall be very glad to go with you. I really ought to be looking at s g things myself.” “Of course you ought,” shé re- turned, as I hung up the telephone re- ceiver after assuring her again that ‘I would> meet her at the 10:21, I smiled at the complacent sureness of her tone. To Mrs, Durkee’s mind clothes are a most ‘ important section of the uni- verse. I do not mean that she is foolish or extravagant—in fact, -she is a most careful buyer, but I know no one who gets more genuine pleas- ure out of pretty frocks ‘and ' hats than she does. She has exquisite taste in selection ,and a pronounced ekill with her needle, so that her pur- chases always set 'off the dainty pret- tiness upon which age seems to have no effect. She must be nearly 50, old enough to be my mather, but no one would ever guess her real age within 10 or 15 years. I am génuinely fond of Mrs. Durkee. .| She 1s one of the most restful, com- fortable persons I know, and it was CUTICURA HEALS YOUNG BABY'S RASH In Three Weeks. Itched and Burned.

BERNHARDT “Mothers of France” SUNDAY ONLY VIOLA DANA IN THE UNUSUAL 5-PART FEATURE ! GEOR%E WALSH “SOME BOY” EXTREE!! MONDAY AND TUESDAY my preparations ta meet her. The little trip she proposed was just the thing I needed, 1 decjded, to stir me out of the rather lethargic con- dition of mind into which I had been drifting. The week following Dicky's walk from Crest Haven through the blizzard had been a stormy ane, and I had been compelled to stay indoors a great deal, always a bad thing for me, as my health and spirits are greatly dependent upon an abundance of outdoor air. Is There a Reason? ‘Then, too, there was something about Dicky’s behavior that made me vaguely uneasy. He was unusually preoccupied, and spent a great deal of time in his studio bedroom. That he wrote voluminously and also made. a large number of seemingly useless jsketches I knew ‘from the condition of his waste basket each morning, for it was filled with small pieces of paper, which I could see without any particularly close scrutiny to be parts of manuscript and sketching paper. True, when Dicky is in the throes of planning his illustrations he is always preoccupied, but there was a vague something about this absorption of his which was different, or so my imagination fancied. And I could not get out of my mind the kodak print I had found by accident in his chif- fonnier, the print of Dicky taken with “Edith and Leila,” the two pretty Virginia art students whom he had saved from being crushed in the crowd at Madison Square Garden upon the night of the President’s speech, The ‘engagements with art-editors,” necessitating Dicky’s presence in town until the late train, still kept, up. He’ stayed in the city two or three even- ings each week, and I had grown to dread the sound of the telephone bell because I never knew when the mes- sage would be one from Dicky saying he would be detained in town until the last train. I had laid awake for hours only the night before trying to satisfy myself with plausible explanations for Dicky’s behavior, but to no avail. As a consequence I felt unusually tired and @&ispirited, and seized upon Mrs. Durkee’s invitation with alacrity. 1 would put all my worries out of my mind, I resolved, and devote the day assidiously ta shopping, hoping that the arduous feminine occupation would tire me physically enaugh to enable me to sleep, dreamlessly, some- thing I had not done for weeks. BERNHARDT LEADS - PROGRAM AT FOX'S Had Bernhardt been present in per- son at Fox’'s last night she could scarcely have been accorded a more memorable reception than that which greeted her screen representation in “Mothers of France,” a picture that will linger long in the hearts of New Britain audiences. Her initial ap- pearance was the signal for a great outburst of prolonged applause, and j at frequent intervals during the re- mainder of the picture she was hon- ored in a similar manner. The Divine Sarah, as she is affectionately known to her millions of admirers, will with- out doubt go down in theatrical his- tory as the greatest actress of any na- tion that ever trod the boards, and, al- though she is past seventy, she com- pels her audience to forget the fact, particularly in her emotional scenes, which are absolutely incomparable and perfect. The play opens with a pleasing pic- ture of conditions in France prior to the out-break of the world war, and shows Madame Bernhardt as a weal- thy French land-owner of charitable disposition and lovable nature, whose husband and spn are officers in the French army./ Then comes the ca- tastrophe, and the most striking con- trast ever conceived is depicted in the following reels. Parts of the dra- ma were actually enacted iin the trenches and on the battleflelds of the French front, and cannot be sur- passed for vividness. To lend variety to the bill, the pop- ulor comedian, Musty Suffer, drinks a cup of “youth-juice,” which is guar- anteed to Thake one younger at the rate of ten years per drop. When Musty emerges in sox and rompers, and is adopted as a forlorn orphan by a pretty girl, complications ensue that are among the funniest of his adven- turous career. ‘The latest edition of the Pathe Weekly and other inter- esting short subjects complete the bill, ‘The (utun for Sunday is the spe- clal five-part. Metro feature “Lady Barnacle. Among the other num- bers will be a western picture, “Ari- son: a travelogue, “Through the ‘West Indies,”” and a three-reel drama, “The Old Fogy. 'Great interest is aroused at the an- nouncement that Mondays program will include “Some Boy,” which is the latest vehicle of Smiling George BEAUTIFUL EVENING GOWN FOR SEASON CLASSIC LINES. ‘Turquoise blue velvet overhung by chiffon of the same shade and cloud- ed about the shoulders with white tulle like a mist makes: a -gorgeous frock for evening wear.

STELLAR FEATURES COMING TO LYCEUM | Among the big features booked for. the Lyceum theater appear the names of the famous Broadway' comedian, George Cohan, in a picturization of his famous stage success, Jones,” and also Ameri Douglas Fairbanks, in Again.” Never before have these two big features been shown at pop lar prices or any of the features t! Lyceum has shown in the past. Don't wait until your friends tell you that the Lyceum shows the best there is in photo-plays.—Come and see for vourself. Watch for the dates of the showing of these two features. On Monday and Tuesday of next week the Lyceum will present New Britain’s most popular screen star, Clara Kimball Young, in her late photo-play, “The Price She Paid. This photo-play is considered by crit- ics to be one of the best pictures that she has cver starred in. The Lyceum is the#only theater in the city that will show Clara Kimball Young in all her latest releases. For Sunday evening the Pathe Co. presents A. H. Woods’ famous stage success, “The Challenge,” featuring Helene Chadwick and Montague Love. A five-part drama of a real magyand a real woman, the kind you like to know. The remainder of the program will consist of a surprise worth while spending the evening. ~ The Lyceum knows the public of New Britain demand good feature photo-plays and the managemént in- tends to show them all.

SIDE TALKS Taking Stock Springtime is with ys—in other words the time of housecleaning, the time when one finds out what is in one’s drawers and what has gotten tucked away in one’s closet and cup- board and gloryholes during the year. ‘Women who so arrange their work that they never have to do any spe- clal cleaning (they really do exist, for I know one or two. Yes, as you sus- pected, they live in small houses and have no families to apeak of) avoid the difculties of the housecleaning season but they also miss that pleas- ant excitement of rediscovering one's possessions. We have ' already Te- trieved a missing part of the ‘ice- cream freeger and a collar that has been hiding on me for some months. Housecleaning, Domestic Stock-Teking Houpecleaning has its faults but it is a kind of domestic stock-taking, and as such ‘has its place in the scheme of things. Which brings me to the analogy I want to draw. Why wouldn'{ the spring also be a good time for stock-taking in character? In a most interesting book for “the ambitious woman in business” the au- thor includes a self-analysis chart which employers present to their em- ployes. The latter are supposed to mark themselves in the various sub- jects and then to mark themsaelves again a year later.

A personal stock-taking would in- clude self-questioning as to whether one had formed any new good habits? Any bad anes? One's worst faults— — 3 have they been overcome at all?
