This announcement will interest many women here, for it is said that the present high-heel footwear is put- ting corns on practically every wo- man’s feet.

ANITA STEWART IS FEATURE AT FOX'S For uniformity of merit and well- selected subjects it would be difficult to surpass the offerings on the Fox program for tonight. Heading the bill is Anita Stewart's latest Vitagraph masterpiece, ‘The More Excellent Wa,; This is a big five-part drama of tr.m?dolu heart appeal in which Miss Stewart plays the part of a young orphan girl who is loved devotedly by a man of sterling qualities and splen- did mecral fibre, but who is attracted to a weak, dissolute whiskey flend. The tale of her marriage with the former, the early repentance, and the sudden termination of her affair with. the lat- ter when she discovers that ke is using her as a tool in working the downfall of her husband makes one of the most gripping productions with which this dainty and most populpr star has ever been associated. Running a close sec- ond for the headline honors is the added feature, “Love’s Sunset,” in ‘which that empress of the emotional screen, Clara Kimball Young, stars. -She is supported by an able cast, head- ed by the virile Earl Williams. The comedy feature is a two-reel Fox-film cdomedy, “A Six-Cylinder Courtship.” Tom Mix, who appears in this picture, 1s one of the cleverest riders and rop- ers that the West has yet produced, and the speed with which he conducts his rapid-fire wooing, together with numerous ludicrous and hazardous situations from which he extricates himself results in one of those rip- roaring pictures that convulses an au- dience every minute. The Florence Rose models present the latest styles for summer and early fall as they are being shown in the more advanced metropolitan shops. Arrangements are practically com: pleted for the monster patriotic dem- onstration to be held at Fox's on Fri- day evening, in conjunction with uu great five-reel preparedness photoplay “The Eagle’'s Wings,” which is to be presented under the auspices of the MULTIGRAPHS LETTER Fao-simile of Typewriting dome ta 1, 8 and 8 colors With signaturea Letter Heads Printed.

The act is a novelty and it has many features to commend it to a variety audience. The other big number on the bill is the posing act of the Ex- celsior models, a group of young ‘women, who do some remarkable tableau work. It is a pleasing act and the audience likes it. John F, Clark, a monologist who was enter- taining the 'public when ' Noah's ark ‘was started, pleases with his witty sallies an few moss covered stories. *The oplay headliner for the balance of the week will be the Lasky film, “Unto . Those Who S8in,” the popular screen star, Blanche Sweet, playing the leading role. Tomorrow ; and Saturday there will be new chapters in “The Neglected Wife.” LUFBERY LEADER OF YANKEE FLIERS FIGHTIN G IN FRANCE ———— e Adjutant Raoul Lufbery of New York, premier ‘““ace” and fighting air- man of the Lafayette escadrille, re- cently brought down his eleventh “official” enemy plane in a single handed fight against five Germans. It took the New York fighter just twenty-five shots to shatter the wings of the adversary plane nearest to him, the German whirling down from the 15,000 feet altitude to death. He ex- changed shots with. the remaining four- and then when more Lafayette filers came to his rescue the enemy lqurtet hurriedly sped away. Lufbery was .the guest of the | French general commanding the Sixth 'army, to which the Lafayette esca- drille will shortly be attached. The latest exploit of the Lafayette squad- ron as a whele was a remarkably suc- cessful bombing expedition over enemy reserve barracks at a pdint six miles deep in the German lines. The entire éscadrille flew at an altitude of & bare 500 feet, disregarding anti- aircraft guns and fired their machine suns and dropped bombs upon mill- tary establishments, roads and bat- teries with good effect. \ GORGEOUS INDEED.

Logxflwoon, City Hall *Phone 606-3 REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON , Who Ultimately, Paid for the Coveted Hat? The afternoon following my &Hmpse of my husband ‘and the girl from ' Virginia—whose name I knew only as “Edith”—in the suit depart- ment at Hambel’s dragged miserably for me. Mrs, Durkee tnllowod my purchase of a hat with two for herself, and then I went wearily with. her .up to the suit department again, where she insisted upon my selecting a spring .suit, The only one I liked in the shop was a midnight blue serge, with vest, collar and pocket linings of cream color embroidered with tiny corn flowers. The price tag attached to it was a fairly reasonable one, and I took it, “Oh dear!” sighed Mrs. Durkee in the fitting room, while the worn little seamstress took my measurements, I don’t want to bother you, but I can't help but think how well that blue hat with the cornflowers upstairs would go with this suit. It's made far it.” ¥ “I know,” I said, for the same idea had come to me, “but ‘it. can’'t be done, my dear.” I spoke lightly, but with real regret behind the gayety. “I wish some old “uncle or re! I never heard of—so I couldn’t be really sorry—would die and leave me a lot of money.” Mrs. Durkee said childishly.. “Then I'd buy evbrything pretty in the shop for you and me. It's horrid to have to count the cost of everything. I started, so violently that the | needle of the seamstress pricked me, and I gave an involuntary little shriek. 1 was ashamed of myself when I saw the poor little sewing woman’s pertur- batién, but glad that Mrs. Durkee would attribute my start to the acci- dent instead of to her words, ‘Why Not Buy It? For her naive wish had recalled to me the fact that I did have such a relative, although neither Mrs. Dur- kee nor any one else save Dicky and the Underwoods dreamed that the rich, mysterious Broadway ‘“‘Quester,” Robert Gordon, was in | reality my long missing father, Charles Robert Gordon Spencer. Just before he had gone away to South America, he had left me a bank book with money - for' ‘“any emergency or wish of mine.” I had put it carefully away, for I had not needed it' while with Lillian, my own savings being enough for my simple wants, and since th-.\umo the happiness of my reconciliation wm: Dicky had put it completely out of my mind. But the money was there, it was mine, and there was enough of it to make my purchase of the hat I wanted a modest matter. A sudden resolve came to me, a re- solve that I am afraid had its hidden roots in resentment against Dicky, gladness that I had the refuge of a father’s purse and protection. I wauld purchase the hat I wanted so and pay for it from the money my father had given me, But I was reluctant to let Mrs. Durkee know of my change of pur- pose. ¥ had a dread of any comment; even from so friendly a heart as hers. How to slip away from her long enough to purchase the hat was my next problem. Unconsciously she played directly into my hands, . “The Sale Is Made.” “Gracious, ‘it's after one o'cloclt® she said, looking at her wrigt watch. “You must be nearly starved. Wi go to that tea room I spoke of at once. But do <you suppose you ' could wait until I go over to the men's department? I must see about som pajamas for Alfred, past even his mother “Go_right ahead,” I said heartily. “I'll go up into the women’s waiting room and freshen up a bit. You can ] come there when you've Ilnhhed your errand.” right; I won't. be but . as she hurrigd away. When she well out of sight I, too, hurried making my way back to the milli department, - As I crossed the floor of the French section. I met the pretty saleswoman who had sold ‘'me my black and vhlt. hat. “I have changed my mind about’ that blue hat,” I said. Then, as T ° saw her look of dismay, I added, T do_hope it isn't sold. “Not yet, but I'm afraid it will bp in another moment,” she said regret-" fully. ‘That saleswoman there is: trying it on that pretty girl's head this minute, right over there. Her husbang or lover or ther, whoever he may be with her “evidently -ap= proves of it very much, se I am afrald the sale is made.” I knew what I should see befors I turned my eyes in the direction she’ indicated. Fate certainly had'. re- served inquisitorial tortum for me'. upon this expedition. For beneath the beautiful hl,t ‘which I wanted so much shone the girlish, coquettish gace of “Edith,” - while’ beaming down “upon her in pln.ud approval was my husband. SIDE TALKS 9 A Man’s I heard several men taunting an- other ‘man the other day because he had taken a new stand on some na- tional question. “You don’t talk much the way you used to talk,” they said. “That's all rlxht " said he, changed my mind.” “Thought that was a woman’s pri- vilege,” said they. “Jt's ' a woman’s privilege to change her mind without any logical rea- son,” said he, “and a man’s to change it becatise he has seen good reason to and isn’t too pig headed.” I didnt like his inference that all feminine changes of mind are illog- fcal. That was unfair. But I did like his realizing that it is a man's privilege, noy his shame, to change his mind for good reason. More Than a Privilege, An Honor. Nay, it'’s far more than his. privi- lege, it's his Guty and his honor. Incidentally he had changed to my. side of the fence on this particular question. I wonder if I wowld have felt the same admiration if he had changed to the, other side. I hope 0. Or should I have wondered it unworthy motives had" influenced him. I hope not. But what ever personal feelings may intrude themselves, there is no possible doubt that ™ it 'is’'a mark-of aistidction not a disgrace to be able to change one's mind. True Consistency. It is unlikely if. not. -impossible that one’s first convictions on all sub- jects should be perfectly right. And so it is unlikely if not impos- sible that the man who always stands stanchly by his = original opinions and makes a point of never changing his mind, should be right. True consistency does not mean keeping true to opinions but to prin- ciples. If new facts prove your opin- fons to have been wrong, true <con- sistency will oblige you to change them. Didn’t Just Like the Sound of His Voice. I have read of some great man, I think it was John Fiske, the tribute that “he always said a thing because he though it was true, never made the mistake of thinking it was true, because he had said it. ‘That is the error into which it is 50 easy to)fall, to say a thing, like the msound of it, pledge your alle- giance to it, and go on saying it, whether right or wrong, the rest of your life A man's changes of mind, if they are the right kind of changes, are the merks that indicate his growth and 3 “Ive /very w®oft, drain, then Privilege. progress just as the circlep Inflln!l the growth of a tree.
