T felt it actually did scorch me, and crossing swiftly to Lillian, knelt down Dbeside her. With a little sigh she turned and put her cheek against mine, her arms around me. For fully five minutes T knelt there, then she rose abrupt drev me to my feet and put me in ¢ Chair close to her own. 1 saw that she had not shed tears, but her eyves were glittering w ith (*f(,‘llr‘lnr"fl. on each check glowed a spot of ved, an unbecoming flush which re- minded me unpleasantly of the rouge she-was wont to use in the old days. “Don't mistake my feeling, Madge she said slowly at 1 “In one way this thing comes as a hlessed relief.

Dicky how Lillian and sympathy—ye; help—had put Harry Underwood on his feet after an almost disreputable husiness co on his part. Lillian had never even hinted at the money part of her help to her husband, but Harry himself, had told Dicky of it in the early years of their marriage, would ers: any and 1st. had heard from encouragement even her financial “But there t one question be- fore me,” she said. “T would be glad to divorce Harry, 1 have no qualms on the subject at all, but have I the right ta bring any more unpleasant publicity THEATER ALL THIS WEEK Showing JULES VERNE’S Under the Sea Entitled 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA In 9—Big Reels—9 Nothing like it on earth. ’Nuff Said 10c Admission 1(Q¢ Story upon my hend, and because of me to my baby girl?” As the full import of Lillian's dilemma burst upon me I felt my heart stop beating for an instant. It was too horrible this alternative which Harry Underwood’s request had before her. him to his marriage ties, she was put to a woman of Lillian Underwood's pride, of holding a man bound to her who had ceased to care for her, But, if she did divorce him, she would again be pilloried in the public eve, in only lesser degree than she had been when her first husband, Will Morton, in order to gain his own freedom and in revenge for her de- fiance of him, had branded her by an ust suit for diverce. She was an illustrator and adver- tising jingle writer of national fame. her fair game for the newspapers, it were not for the war with monopaly of the news columns, her trouble would be the basis of first page features, and the theme of women writers’ comments. And even with newspaper conditions as they are, T knew Lillian could not entire- ly escape that cruel notoriety, I knew the woman at my side well enough to bhe certain that no con- sideration for herself would touch her. She wauld give Harry Underwood the boon he so insolently asked in a moment if it were not for her little daughter. But to keep the breath of scandal from Marion, the child whose companionship she had sacrificed vears before because her high sense of honor compelled her to save Dicky from her husband's vengeance, the child who had been so lately restored to her, she would fight Iike any roused tigress for her young. “I told vou I had lost my sense of values,” Lillian went on drearily e want to play the game fairly with Harry, and of course, T don’t want to stand in the way of the girl's mar- riage to him—that has always seemed to me to be a particularly mean- spirited thing for an injured wife to do. But I can’'t drag little Marion through the mire of a suit for divorce, Tell me, Madge, what I shall do?" I could not speak for a moment in sheer amazement at Lillian's attitude. That Lillian Underwood, upon whose brave, buoyant spirit T had always leaned, should be helplessly appealing to me, bewildered me. Then my in- dignation at the whole cruel proceed- ing broke its bonds, and I sprang to my feet, my cheeks blazing with anger. “Iree! Free-' “Play the game fairly with Harry!” 1 echoed, and I knew that all the pent-up dislike and contempt I had suppressed for Harry Underwood threaded my voice. “You've been do- ing that for too many vears already. And not only with him, but with | evervhody else. You have never con- sidered yourself for an instant. But you are going to begin right now. Harry Underwood isn’t worthy of even a second’s regret or consideration { from you. And as for the girl!” My voice broke as I remembered all the misery Grace Draper had caused me. “I know.” Lillian put her hand upon mine. ‘She deserves no mercy from either vou or me. But I am so dazed, so wearied of it all that T am glad to have you make my decision for me. ““To tell the truth,” she said, “T am probably doing both Harry and the Draper a favor by refusing to divorce him. If Harry had his freedom he | probably would marry the girl, and in a year or twa they would hoth be | keenly regretting being bound to cach jother. And Harry knows that except for the mere legal formality he is as free from me as I hope I am from him.” She flung out her arms with a ges- ture as if she were casting away Teavy burden, Free!” she whispered.

On the same program will be a famous Black C(at story, entitled “The Rainbow Box" also “The Amer- jcan Girl” and the Lyceum weekly showing the news of the day. Don’'t forget, Saturday afternoon the L. ceum takes moving pictures of those who attend the performance. So bring your family and get in the movies. Next week the Liyceum of- fers some great stars, Bessie BRarris- cale in ““The Snarl,” on Monday and Tuesday; Henry B. Walthall in “The Saints’ Adventure,” on Wednesda | and Thursday, and Friday and Sa urday, Elmo Lincoln in “Might and the Man.” The lLyceum always has a variety show which is bound to please all. BARGAIN PROGRAM AT FOX'S THEATER Today and tomorrow are bargain idays at o Two big attractions { have been engaged for the big dou- ble-value program, the first and fore- most_of which is the initial episode of “The Fatal Ring,” the big new serial picture produced by the Pathe Company as a worthy successor to thelr recent great serial success, “Patria.” Pearl White, the star of “The Fatal Ring,” is too well known to need an introduction, as she will be well remembered from having played the leads in all the biggest rerial pictures, particularly “Pearl of {the Army,” “The Perils of Pauline,” | “The Exploits of Elain,” and ‘“The Iron Claw. Miss White is universally recognized as the most papular and daring serial actress in the business. She will be supported throughout the serial by J. Warner Oland, of New Britain, who won such great com- mendation for his characterization of Baron Huroki in “Patria.” As to the picture itself, it is easily the most ex- citing, daring and elaborately staged serial that has ever been produced by any company. Many of the metro- politan daily papers are running the { story now in installment form, As an extra added feature of the tar program will be shown the powerful five-act drama, “The Crim- son Dove” is a big virile tale of mis- popular star of ‘“The Whip” and many other big successes, is support- ed by Carlyle Blackwell. *The Crim- .son Dove,” in which June Elvidge, the guided love, romance and adventure, packed to overflowing with exciting incidents and gripping situations. The scenes are laid in the social circles of a big metropolis, in the under- world of New York, and in the tough- est mining camp of the west. The latest issue of the Pathe News will also be shown. Rusty irons should be heated, rubbed on a piece of beeswax tied in linen, and then with a coarse flannel cloth sprinkled with household salt. This will give a polish like glass. PATHE SERIAL ADDS STRENGTH TO BILL Interest continues unabated among the city’s photoplay lovers in the big Pathe serial, “The Neglected Wife,"” which has been attracting nation- wide attention since its release a few weeks ago. The film is on the tho serial attractions at Keeney's and it is drawing big audiences on Friday's and Saturday’s, the days on which the various characters are shown. The seventh episode in the thriller is promised for tonight and tomorrow. Another feature of the program for these days {s the Lasky production, “The Spirit of Romance,” in which Vivian Martin plays the leading role. The vaudeville offerings include The Electrical Wizard, the Three Mc- Connell sisters and Botelli, the acro- batic wonder. Ground rice is excellent for clean- ing white cloth. It should be ap- plied with a piece of clean white flannel, left for two or three hours, and then well brushed and shaken. TWO DAYS MORE TO SEE WONDER FILM With the booking of “Twenty Thou» sand Leagues Under the Sea"” at the' Scenic Theater caming to a close, New Britain has only two days left to see one of the greatest photo dramas ever filmed. This picture is adjudged by critics to be without the slightest doubt the most unique in the history of the cinema. Five vears ago it would not have, been thought possible to film this great classic from the pen of Jules Verne, one of the world's most ime aginative authors. But the progress of the motion picture art has net only made it possible but has opened up new vistas, new fields, for those engaged in the business. Today and tomorrow are the last days of the masterpiece in this city. Capaciy' houses, which have been the rule all week, are expected to continue. Stewed flgs are deliclous served with cream. To stew figs, first stew them until tender, and for one pound of fizs add one-fourth cup of sugar and let simmer six or eight minutes® SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON Madame’s Classes A n:ost interesting scheme came to my attention the other day. It was put into practice in a city some distance from here and whether there is anything of the sort in this city, T don’t know. But I think there should be and that is partly why I am writing this. A woman who used to live in our neighborhood was visiting here re- cently and appeared at one of our little social functions in such a smart pretty little frock that we all com- mented upon it. When she lived here she used to have quite a little trouble with her clothes. She is clever with her needle but not quite clever enough to turn out a perfectly right gown. She Made It And She Didn’t Make It. “Did you make it yourself?" asked. “I did and 1 didnt,” she said. And then she told us about scheme. It seems that in the city where she now lives a French dressmaker has opened a new kind of classes. At least they are mew to me. Perhaps vou have heard of them before. There must be six members in the class and each pays a dollar and a half for a day's class. The six mem- bers come to Madame’s establishment, each bringing with her material for something she wants to make. we the Madame then plans each garment and * supervises the cutting and fitting. Madame Supervises. women themselves do the work Madame’s supervision. In the rooms are several machines for the class's use, and as I understand ft, one sewing girl who will assist (for extra payment) if desired. “It is perfectly wonderful,” said our old neighbor, “what we can gat done. One woman brought a dress and a blouse and got them hlocked out so that she could finish them at home. And another got a silk suit started. I think she is going to go one more day. There are so many of us who can sew well enough but who can’t plan a really smart dress or get the lines just right. I think it's a wonderful scheme."” Her Gowns Were The Real Testimonial. The under Her tribute to Madame's scheme was enthusiastic enough but the con- trast between the gown she wore and the gowns she used to wear was even more of a testimonial. To any potentinl Madame, or to any energetic group of womg¢n who can persuade some clever dressmaker to become a Madame I pass along this idea. So far as I know it isn't copy- righted.
