Robert Savarin Some Hope in His Despair of Lillian. I have never seen a sadder face than Robert Savarin’'s as he finished telling me of his early hopeless love for Lillian Underwood, when, as a girl, she brightened with her pretty fresh enthusiasm his dingy studio. lit by dancing sunbeams, flowed be- my face. I must not stay longer at your home,” he said at last, measuredly. I turned to him helplessly, for I did not wish to forestall his confidence. “You mean—"" “That the sight of Mrs. Underwood has brought back to me tenfold the feeling with which I once regarded her,” he said tensely. “And the strength. of my will is broken. I can- not be near her and not let her know how I feel toward her. She isn't free even to listen to me. Therefore—it is better—that I'go away.” He stopped and gazed down the stream again, while I wrestled with the temptation to urge him to stay at any cost, and to reveal to Lillian everything he had told me. For, despite- my Puritan training, or perhaps, queerly enough because of it, I have no sympathy with, no rever- ence for the marital tie which binds Lilllan and Harry Underwod to- gether. Lillian had married Harry Underwood before the death of her first husband, the unspeakable Mor- ton, whose unjust divorce of her had shadowed and branded her life. The later marriage was, as I knew, simply one of convenience and of comfort. In the real, true sense it was no mar- riage at all, although Lillian had played the role of devoted wife as whole heartedly ‘as she did anything entrusted to her. 5 And Harry Underwood had reward- ed her years of care and tenderness by deserting her when she brought home her child from whom she had 80 long been separated, calmly re- questing in a letter from South Amer- ica that she divorce him. This Lil- lian was determined not to do, be- cause of the stigma that would attach to little Marion were her mother again to appear in divorce proceed- ings, but secretly I did not gee how she woud be able to avoid 1t. .. If Harry Underwood was determined to drag her through the divorce court he would do it, especially when urged on, as 1 was sure he was, by Grace He gazed down the stream, which neath our feet as we stood upon the old bridge, and in his look was such anguish of régret that I turned away “Perhaps you can guess now why NeWS For =REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Ry ADELE GARRISON | Why Madge Felt That She Must Give | power. Draper, who had fled to him in South America after her last mad attempt to win Dicky from me. What Madge Said. I took a sudden resolution. I could not bid Robert Savarin to stay but I at least could give him an inkling of how matters stood. When I had told him Lillian's story, I had’stopped with her husband’s desertion of her. I had sald no word of Harry Underwood’s coldly cruel proposal of divorce. “There's something I think you ought to knew before you fully decide to go away,” I said timidly. He turned to me quickly. “Tell it to me at once” he said peremptorily, and I saw that his'teel- ing for Lilllan was so strong that in discussing any matter concerning her he lost sight of the courtesy of speech due any one else. I told him in as few words as pos- sible of Harry Underwood's demand for a divorce, Lillian’s refusal to give him one, her reasons for her refusal and my conviction that some way in deflance of all law and reason, Harry Underwood’s indomitable will would find-a way to bring Lillian to his terms. He listened quietly, and only the clenching of his nervous fingers into the palms of his hands betrayed the agitation he must have felt at my recital. At its close he was silent for a long minute, and then he cried out flercely, passionately: “If She Could Only— “If she could only care for me, I would feel that I had the right to fight her battles for her! But as that is impossible, I am tied, impotent!” “What makes you so certain that it is impossible?” 1 asked, my heart beating wildly with the daring of my own question. But something quite outside of myself seemed urging me on to say thinga I had thought not to utter. “What do you mean?” he counter- queried, whirling and seizing my arm in a grip that hurt. \ “Nothing,” I said, ‘“only that I think you under-estimaté your own I know that Mrs. Underwood remembears your early friendship with much pleasure, and—I do not sée why you shouldn’t try to win her.” He held me by the arm, looking at me steadily for a minute. I knew that he was looking into some possibility of the future. At last he loosenéd his grasp and spoke slowly, heavily. “I wish I could believe you, but I cannot. No, there is but one thing I can do for Mrs. Underwood, and I hope I shall have strength given me to do that thing when the time ' comes.” IDE TALKS ' BY RUTH CGAMERON A Pair of Silk Stockings The authorman’s wife was most in- dignant. “No wonder,” she said, “that ,you can't get a good old fash- joned servant when people like her spoil them so.” What do you think the “spoiling” was? Her neighbor had given her maid a pair of silk stockings for a birthday present. “No wonder fussed the authorman’'s wife, they are encouraged to like they put on airs,” “when that. | Such an unsuitable present! Half a dozen cotton ones or a good apron would have been much more uulu- ble!” The good qualities but there when she makes me very cross. this is one of them. She’ Dosen’t Like To See The Mald Have Nlce Things. She loves silk stockings and wears them as often as she can, afford it? Why shoulan’t the maid do the same? And anyhow it is not a ques- tion of affording when a thing is a birthday present. I am afraid the authorman's wife simply resents the maid’s having the same sort of pretty things she has herself. And there are few things that exasperate me more than this at- titude. Many people seem to think that be- cause folks are poor ‘they ought not to care what they wear if only it is clean and whole. Their ideal poor person is “poorly but neatly” dressed and thankful for any garment they authorman’s wife has many are times And graciously choose to donate to however old and ugly it be. She Was Through With Them. One of these ‘“‘gracious givers"” told me one day that she was through with a certain family forever. It is a family in which there are two pretty young girls who have to turn most of their earnings in to the fam- ily purse on account of their father’s illness. The gracious giver had do- nated an old coat of hers which she expected the younger girl to wear. “And do you know, I don't think she ever put that coat on! I saw her going to town in a thin cheap little suit all winter. Of co e that coat was a little out of style but it was warm and of good material. The pride of these people! Well I shan't bother myself with them any more.” I Knew That Coat When It Was . Young. If the coat was any sample of her bothering I don’t think they will greatly grieve. I know that coat. It began to go out of style three years ago and she practically stopped wear- ing it. Since then she has kept it in the attic “in case I should want it some day.” She might just as well have given it away while it had some semblance of style, but she wouldn’t give. while there was even a remote change of her using it. And yet she calls her giving char- ity! Truly such charity is a cloak for a multitude of sins! her, “WOMAN WHO DARED” OFFERING AT FOX’S One of the most unusual pictures ever produced is the proper descrip- tion of “The Woman Who Dared.” the big seven reel drama which is the feature of the present Iox theater program. It is out of the ordinary from start to finish, in characteriza- tion, theme, plot construction, photo- graphy and direction.” Its story is new, clever, and intensely interesting, and there is not a dull moment in the entire hour and three quarters that the picture runs. Beatriz Michelena, the charming star, plays the part of a daughter of a royal family who Is forced, for her country’'s sake, to contract a royal marriage, against the dictates of her heart. The sit- uation is a familiar one, but her ac- tions and plans, and the way she ex- | picture has progressed very far, it i seen just why she is called ‘The Woman Who Dared.” The scenario of the place was written by C. M. ‘Williamson the well known contri- butor to high class magazines. On the same programse is a surpris- ing episode of the further adventures of that belovdd scamp, Stingaree, in which the hero of this popular series amuses himself at the expense of a Wax Works proprietor. The latest issue of the American News Weekly is. also shown. Tomorrow's feature will be the big new world novelty dramatic production, “The Price of Pride,” in which that excellent palr June Elvidge and Carlyle Blackwell are starred. The fifth chapter of the Fatal Ring serial will also be shown. Arrangements heve been made to secure as an added attraction for next week a return engagement of Theda Bara's greatest six-reel drama, “Under Two Flags.” This will be ecutes them to accomplish her ends, i shown in conjunction with another are far from usual, and before the five part feature. 1017, —— OPENING OF GRAND THEATER SATURDAY ‘The Pirates’ Midnight Revel” is a sensational finale of act one of the production to be given seven days, commencing Saturday evening, August 11, at the Grand theater by the Rose- land Girls, one of the best burlesque efforts ever put forth by that veteran producer, James E.

He calls them “Conservation cartoons.—You supply - the imagination, we furnish | the words.” A space is ruled off in the Times, about the size -of the ordinary news- paper cartoon would occupy, headed “Conservation Cartoon.” In the cen- ter of this space is placed a block of print, which describes what the car- toon would have been if it had been there; and the reader is supposed to agine the cartoon as he reads the text. This text has to be graphic, and it is. Schermerhorn knows how to make it so. We are assuming that he writes the text. He does, or he has succeeded in training some other per- son to write them as he would. Here is the text of one of the car- toons without design—just words, within the frame where the cartoon would have been if it had been drawn instead of written: The Ship of State has come to a dead stop in a sea of perplexities, “as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean.” She is loaded with unregulated food for Uncle Sam and his Allies. The craft is not becalmed, for there is & controversial gale blowing, bois- terous enough to mend her scooting. There’s the rub—too much controver- sy, too little cor.cord. Meanwhile, two low rakish crafts, “Hunger” and “High Prices” are descried hovering dead ahead of the motionless vessel. But Captain Wilson is equal to the emergency. Patience has ceased to be a virtue. He has the three re- calcitrants lined up before him and is making them walk the plank. In other words, he is shipping the shipping board. But he is not a stony-hearted disciplin- arian. As each one of the three ob- structionists reaches the jumping- off place Cap. hands him' a letter written in his best style and com- mending him to anyone he may come in contact: with on his way down. These cartoons that are not car- toons are signed “U and Us,” and un- derneath the frame of this one runs this caption line: *“The Captain—Now’ Every Man to his Post, or he’ll get the Plank and a Fervent Epistle, too.” This is a clever idea; and Schermer- horn thought of it! He has demon- strated again that he is clever and re- sourceful, and that he knows how to keep his paper bright and different.
