He and Alfred Durkee had just come into the waiting room of the Pennsylvania station to meet Alfred’s mother and me after our day’'s shopping tour, “‘Here they've been trotting around { all day, and they look as fresh .as daisies. Wonder what we'd look like after chasing around shops all day.” “Better mot imagine it, Dicky- bird,” Alfred Dufkee drawled. “En- too painful to contemplate, Well girls!” he bowed merrily to his ,mother, “Where do you want to go? ‘Cabaret, table d’hote, or lunch coun- ter?” “Lunch counter!” sniffed Dur- kee, and then .she laughed errily. It is amusing to watch Mrs. Durkee When her son is bantering ht She always takes his jésts seriously for about half a minute. Then as his real meaning dawns upon her, her eyes sparkle and her girlish laugh rings out. “Please, kind gentlemen, no caba- ret,” I begged. “Let's go where we can get something decent to .eat and then be allowed to eat in peace, “That’s right,” chimed in Mrs. Durkee. “At those places they whisk your plate away.from you before you've fairly looked at it. But I want a place with a good orchestra,” she added decidedly. “I Hke to listen to music while I eat.” “Aren’t we refined?’ = mocked Dicky. “I guess it will have to be Broquin’s,” he turned to his friend. “Broquin’s it is,” affirmed Alfred Durkee. “And if we're going, let’s start.” “I'll run on ahead and comman- deer a _taxi,” Dicky volunteered, and We were soon on’ our way to the res- taurant which held such painful memories for me, I had been able to repress a start when Dicky named Broquin’s. But every beat of the taxi’s engine helped to bring back the dramatic moments rs. restaurant when Jack Bickett, my brother-cousin, and I dined there to- gether for the first time after he re- turned from his long South American ') trip. ‘.I&t‘y' have used “Neutrone Pre- scription 99” and found it there with } the punch that kills Rheumatism. “flu““l‘ TYPEWNITER €0 WG fiartford.

I had married Dicky during Jack's nce, and Jack, the anly brother I ever known, had not known of) the marriage when he asked me to dine with him. Because of my cowardice I did not tell him until forced to do so by his revelation of his lang concealed love for me. I could see his striken white face again as-I spoke the words, “I am married Jack. I have been married over a month.” “There Is No Constancy—" . ‘Then the Tevuision cams and I al- most laughed aloud as I thought of all the remorse I had upon Jack. He had gone to the. war be- cause of me, but had found his real fate in a French hospital in the per- son of Katherine Sonnot, the little nurse who was my friend. His face these days was far from grief-stricken, it was radiant with happiness, and I knew that Jack's only feeling toward me was that of a brothe; I had & Tude suspicion, too, that his brotherly affection was somewhat held in ahoek by his pretty little flancee, and I could not blame her. “Men are all alike,” I whispered to myself banally. “There is no con- stancy in any of them,” and the memory of my husband’s face smil- ing at “Bdith,” while he bought her a costly hat in Hambel's but a few hours before, gave me & quick stab- bing pain. But I allowed no hint of my feel- ings to escape me. I laughed and chatted, drawing all of them into the conversation which I Xkept as far away from our shopping experience of the afternoon as possible. It was no part of my plan that Mrs. Durkee should mention Hambel's prema- turely, ————— SAYS THE DRUG IS 5 AN ETHER COMPOUND Just a few drops loosens any comm 80 it lifts out with- out pain. You simply say to the drug store man, “Give me a quarter of an ounce of freesone.” This will cost very littie but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from one’s feet. A few drops applied directly upon & tender, aching corn should relieve the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all-can be lifted out with the fingers without pain, This new way to rid ome’s fest of corns was introduced by a Cinecinnati ¢ man, who says that while freecone is sticky it dries in s moment, and seems to- simply shrivel up the eorn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. . Don’t let father die of infection or Tockjaw from whi g at his corns, but cut this out make him try it. BOS LUNCH mte' OF A WEEj— So I talked of the weather, the ad- Joining " houses in Marvin which we and the Durkees were thinking of purchasing—oh, the mockery of it now, when in all probability the next few hours would see Dicky and me at the final parting of the ways!— even retailed at great length our ludicrous experience of the night of the blizzard. A Very Different Magge. Dicky frowned a bit at that reminis- cence. I knew he did not quite fancy my description of his ploughing through the drifts laded with bundles, | which because of his anger at the' snow-stalled taxi he had childishly re- fused to surrender to the garage man. But all that was pretty and malicious in me enjoyed his embarrassment, and I purposely spun out the story until after we had reached Broquin's. As 1 took my seat at one end of the wall tables upon which Mrs. Dur- keo insisted I had a sudden tragic glimpse of the difference between the warm-hearted impulsive girl who had come there with her brother-cousin, mistaken as slie had been, and the coldly cynical malicious creature I felt myself to be. It wasas if I had etherized my better self. THE YANKEE PRINCE ON LYCEUM SCREEN \ In keeping up with the progres- sive policy, the Lyceum presents on tonight, Friday and Saturday, Geo. M. Cohan, the famous Broadway comedian in “Broadway Jones.” Ever since the early days of the maving pictures, Geq- M. Cohan has been ap- proached by various moving picture companies with flattering offers but it was not till & few months ago that he finally decided to branch out into this field. At the head of his own company he commenced activities in the motion picture art, with the same enthusiasm and energy that has marked his success in theatrical. Se- lecting “Broaway Jomes" conceded to be his bigmest stage success and which was written and produced by himself, he makes his bow as a movie star and that the film version of this ®lviay will even score s greater suc-, cess than the original play is freely predicted. Also 'on the program will be the “Black Cat Stories” which are wvery good. These are all finished stories, well worth while seeing. Now the Lyceum has their = cooling system in operation you could not spend a warm afternoon or evening in a 'better place. Matinee, 1:30; even- ings, 7:00 p. m. Saturding continuous from 1:30 to 11:00 p. m.

I should think it would make you just wild.” The Lady smiled gently, “I didn’t do all the work nor half of it, but even so, why should I be wild about what other people did or didn’t do?" “Why?* said the Authorman’s ‘Wite, “Because it was outrageous the way they phirked.” “But 1 gldn't do any more than I wanted to,” said the Lady, ‘“so what diftsrence did it make to me what they 4aid? How did it hurt me if they shirked? If I had shirked that would have been another thing, That would have hurt me.” It Would Certsinly Have Annoyed Her. The Authorman's Wife looked per- fectly unconvinced. ‘“Well,” she reiterated, hate made me just wild Doubtless it would have. And yet, as the Lady said, should it? by Why do we trouble ourselves so much about whether other people do their duty or not? Why such a pother about our neighbor’s - righteousness? After all it isn’t our affair. We really don't bhave to keep him up to the mark. Not One’s Brother’s Critic. Being one’s brother’'s keeper means being his helper, his friend, not -hi critic. It does not mean that one ought to constitute oneself ‘inspector of beams in one’s brother’s eye. After all, the only person you need to be greatly concerned to keep up to the mark is yourself. ‘The chief person whose character you are developing by your daily ac- tions is yourself. ‘The one person whose respect it is supremely important you keep is IS IT “JUST A COLD?” New Britain People Should Ask Themselves This Question. Don't say: “It's fust a cold.” It may turn into backache, rheu- mfle aches, achy joints Or ,other serious sickness that comeé from weak kidneys. Colds are due to congetion. Congestion makes the kidneys over- ‘work to filter the blood. Colds often leave the kidneys weak. First break the cold; Then use Doan’s Kidney Pilis to avert the kidney dangers.

The -one person you will certainly have to live with until death you part (and presumably for- ever after), and whom 'therefore you most desire to make into an honor- able, livable person is yourself. ’ As for the rest what they do,— well here is a little story which 1 read a few weeks ago and have thoughit of perhaps a hundred times since. A Blacksmith and a Philosopher. Frances Elwell, the Concord sculp- tor, was brought up by an uncle who was & blacksmith, and a philosopher. Someone had treated him very un- fairly and the blacksmith had ‘re- fused to retaliate. Several of the village people felt s0o hot about the matter that they went to him ana protested, saying, “If I you™were I'd | have the law, on that scamp or I'd g0 and knock him’down.” TNe blacksmith drew himself to his full Meight, and towering over his anvil, answered: “Sirs, in time he will have his re- ward, in time I will hatve mine.” . | | PETROVA THE STAR ON FOX PROGRAM A drama of unique construction and unparalleled intensity is ‘‘Black But- [ terfly”, the big five act feature of the present Fox bill in which Madame Olga Petrova, the peerless ‘* Rpesian actress stars.

A secondhry feature of the - pro- sram, but one of surprising interest is the two-reeler “Our Fighting Forces”.
