We ali turned and looked at ber in amazement. But she was in no- wise abashed, she only blushed and dimpled’ as she elaborated her the- ory. “Do you know what I think?” she began. *“I think some woman W quarrelling with her sweetheart, and they wandered up here because it is lonely, and then one fired at the other and it came through the door. She looked around as she' finished with such a pretty naive air of cock= sureness that we all shouted with laughter. The men had come back from their search of the grounds, with the report that no one was in sight for rods aroundd, and I think we were all glad of the relief from tension that little Mrs. Durkee's ex- planation gave us. I had heard her theories of things expounded before. Whenever any experience of life is related in her presence she, generally propounds some perfectliy absurd explanation and sticks to her theory with pretty persistence. I never have been able to determine whether she is dee| enough to realize the absurdity of her remarks and to make them purpose- ly in order to raise a laugh, or wheth- er she really is as naively foolish as she sometimes appears. Whatever the solution, she didn display any particular resentment at our laughter. In fact she laughed merrily with us. “You'll see!” she said, pouting prettily and pointing a dainty fore- finger at Dicky. ‘“You laugh at me now, but you'll find out that I'm right.” She turned to Lillian, and there was a little gleam in her eve that warned me to look out for the little stileito thrust, which the women of Mrs. Dur- Lee's dainty, child-like, wholly fem- e type know so well how to give. “But where is your little daughter all this time?” she asked sweetly. afraid leave her all Mrs was to If Lillian winced under the implied taunt that she had left her place at her child's bedside to rush down and ‘“manage’” things, she did not betray it. “Oh, lightning never strikes twice in the same place,” she said w'th a carelessness I knew was assumed. ‘‘Besides, she isn’t alone. I sert Katle to her as soon as I came down, and as Marion is sound asleep I am sure she won’t miss me.” Glances That Meet. If T had needed any assurance as to the character of Robert Savarin's feelings toward Lillian I would have recelved full confirmation of it dur- ing this little dialogue hetween the two women. He had laughed as heartily as any of us at Mrs. Duriee’s nonsense, and I had seen him smile with genuine masculine adroiration at the attractive picture the iittle woman made with her pointirg fore- tinger and her pretty poutinz. But at -her question concerning Marion, T saw him start quickly, and look at her with a close inquiring scrutiny which changed to cold re- sentment as the fact that she meant the question to annoy Lillian struck his quick perceptions. Then his glance sought Lillian’s anxiously, and I saw him smile to himself with an admiring, triumphant tenderness at the apparent nonchalance of her re- ply. I knew he was keen enough to dip beneath the surface of her words and to see the passionate love and tender care for her little daughter which lay there, together with the comprehending, forgiving tolerance of Lillian's attitude toward Mrs. Durkee. I had a further glimpse of_ this attitude of Lillian’s later in the eve- ning when the Durkees had- gone and Dicky had shown Mr. Savarin to his room.

She belongs to the class of women who believe a lady doesn't act in emer- gencies if there's a man present to do her thinking for her. “I generally go on the prnciple, vou know, that the person who thinks fastest in any emergency should be privileged to speak first. Of course she resented the fact that I usrped her darling son’s masculne preroga- tive of dominating things. But she will have forgotten all about it by the next time we meet and I never ex- \pecz to think of the incident again.

ANITA STEWART TOPS News For Theatergoers and Women Readers HONEST ADVERTISING 3 | - SMART SILK DRESSES LOTS OF TUB SKIRTS SILK SPORTS SKIRTS SUMMER FURS FOX FILM PROGRAM One seldom sees such an array of alent in all departments as is present in “The Message of the Mouse,” which is the feature of the Fox program for tonight and tomorrow. First, the dainty star, Anita Stewart herself, is beyond criticism, as her place in the hearts of the American public is too strongly established and any picture in which she is to be seen is sure to be one of the best. As to its direction, it is only necessary to state that it was produced under the personal super- vision of Commodore J. Stuart Black- tan, the man who is responsible for “The Battle Cry of Peace,” and “Womanhood, the Glory of the Nation.” And when we add the fact that the author of “The Message of the Mouse” is none other than George Randolph Chester, the famous novelist who created “Get-Rich-Quick Wal- lingford” and many other entertaining characters, it can be readily under- stood that in the present picture there is to be found every possible qualification required for a ripping good piece of work. The story is an unusual one, dealing with the conditions in the United States after the war. It tells of a plot by five European ambassadors to di- vert fifty billions of dollars from American banks and industrial institu- tions to their own countries, with the result that jurope is assured of restoration, while our own country writhes in the grip of panic, bank failures. and industrial paralysis, at- tended by riots and blodshed. Another exciting adventure of that beloved bandit, Stingaree, will also be shown. In “The Poisoned Cup.” Stingaree has a lively time at a little informal dinner party to which he has invited himself, during which he causes a great deal of consternation by toving with arsenic in his tea, and then offering it to the wife of the man who put it there. A rapid-fire two- reel Fox comedy and the latest issue of the American News Weekly are among the other supporting pictures. RUSSIAN CROPS FAVORABLE. 29 Districts Classed as Satisfactory. Prospects in Petrograd, Aug. 1.—According to local reports to the ministry of sup- condition of crops in 29 governments, including all western and central Siberia, is satisfactory, 18 govern- ments mixed, two governments uncer- tain and six governments unsatisfac: tory. The report of the International bank says that rains in south Russia have improved both winter and spring crops, giving reason to expect a par- ticularly good harvest in the dis- tricts between Kharkov and Melitopal, also the district on the coast of the sea of Azov. In the Volga provshces con- | ditions are mixed. In the southwest it is generally expected the crops will be above average. COURSES IN CITIZENSHIP.

BY RUTH CAMERON bl et All Tommyrot, and Yet The other day, on the trolley, T found myself admiring a man who sat two seats dawn. He had an aquiline nose, excellent teeth, bright dark eyes, heavy brows and iron grey hair. It is a type I always admire. I felt sorry I couldn't know him. And I wondered how he happened to have married (as he evidently had) the fat commonplace looking woman beside him. And then suddenly I had a revul- tion of feeling. Why Did I Want to Meet Iron Grey Hair and a Straight Nose? “Maybe he’s just as commonplace as she is,” I reminded myself. ,'Why on the face of the earth should we base our desire to know people or our interest in them on the fact that their hair or eyes are a certain shape, or their teeth even? When you can for a few minutes shake off this delusion of the impor- tance of personal appearance, you are simply astounded at the power any- thing so unimportant has over almost everyone. A Good Good Figure May Mean Health Even the power of the form to at- tract seems more logical and sensible for a good figure may at least mean good health. But the shape of the features, the color of the eye and of the hair, how can one place such weight on them? If it were a question of expression and of lines, that weuld be a totally different thing. That's the soul and character look- ing out through the face. We do well indeed to notice expres- sion. That means something. A dis- contented mouth, pleasant humor lines about the eyes, all slant up, a mouth that droops at the carners, a restless roving eve, these are all good or bad signs in the matrimonial weather bureau. We Marry the Color of an Eye or the Shape of a Nose. And yet it is only the few who notice them at all. At least, not while they are young. Someone has sald one reads a baok for the story when one is young, for the characters a little later, and when one has fully matured, for the com- ments, the touches of philosophy. So, in the face, we notice color first, then shape, and only after we have matured do we begin to notice the all important signs of character. After all, isn’t it a wonder, not that young folks marry as helter skelter as they do, but that they don't make a worse matter of it. j force still facial lines that | distributing centers - ARMENIAN RACE IS FACING EXTINCTION Few Who Are Left Will- Perish Unless Relief Fund Is Rushed From America. Below is the latest word regardinge the situation in Turkey. It comes in a letter to the chairman of the Ameri- can committee for Armenian and Syrian relief. The writer is speaking (of only one relatively small section of the field of need. His suggested $150,000 must be multiplied many times to enable the committee to reach all parts. The demand is in- describably great. . “We cannot impress upon you too strongly the need of prompt action if the remnant of the Armenian people is not to perish. It seems a fGrrible thing to sustain them thus far and then let them die through neglect. 1t is possible that your com- mittee think there are not means of distributing relief since the ambas4s sador came away, but I want to as? sure you that it is not so. There are members of the American embassy in Constantinople and are working with and through the Swed- ish . legation which now has charge of American jnterests in Turkey. They may be reliéd on to see to the wise and careful distribution of all funds. The bhanks here have correspondents e in Constantinople so the funds sent here can be transferred by wire and become immediately available. “We do not think our missionaries remaining will suffer bodily harm, but living conditions are growing steadily worse and they must have large in- crease in funds to make up for the high prices of food. They can all do ¢ relief work if they have the money and we can get the money to them but not unless your committee re- sponds to urgent appeals of our com- mittee. In each station which our people have left they have arranged with responsible people to look after relief, so that funds will not be mis- applied, and there are yet thousands of Armenians who have no place to 100k for help but to the American Mis- sionaries or their representatives. It they are sustained they will form the nucleus for a strong and helpful ele- ment in the country when the time of reconstruction arrives, as their recup- erative powers have proved wonderful after every previous massacre . “Weo want to make it as_clear as words can do it that at leAst $150,- 000 per month is still needed for re- lief work; that the Constantinople ” committee will be able to forward it to the fleld and will see that none of it is mis-applied; that the customary in the 1nterio are, with unimportant exceptions, still supplied with a sufficient force Zfor making the distribution as usual.” g ¢
