Dicky’s childish. “getting even” shadowed the rest of the day for me. But I don’t think my husband would have been much gratified if he had known just why I was depressed. The personality of the unknown woman telephoning me at Dicky’s behest did not annoye me at all Neither did the message she relayed to me with such evident malicious enjoyment, for Dicky had already threatened to cut Lilllan’s dinner, and I was very sure that a whole- some fear of Lillian’s wrath would keep him from carrying out his threat. The thing which stung e, how- ever, carrying its barbed dart into the secret recesses of my soul, was the fact that Dicky could do so caddish a thing as to take some other woman into his confidence regarding his plan to tease me. The - malicious enjoyment in the girl’s voice as she relayed the mes- sage showed me only too plainly that Dicky must, have confidence in her, and the realization that he had done so made me fairly ill. There came into my mind again, as it had come many times before, Je- rome’s famous adjuration to women, “Heaven help you, madam, {f your husband does not love you because of vour foibles instead of in spite of them.” I, paraphrasing-it, felt that 1 indeed needed heaven's help, for this wasn't the first time that I had been compelled to assure myself that I loved my husband ‘in spite” of some revealed defect in his charac- ter. My common sense told me, how- ever, that there was no use brooding over the matter, and I put it out of my mind as soon as I could. ‘Why Mr. Savarin Hesitated. Robert Savarin went directly to his room when we came back from our walk, pleading fatigue. At luncheon he was pale and distrait, and I saw that his highly organized nervous system had been affected by the strain of the past few days: I knew that his revived love for Lilian, which he, considered hopeless, had caused him poignant misery, and I wondered if he might not still be worrying over the reappearance of Mrs. Allis, the woman who ‘had once called herself his wife, and while doing so had wrecked his life. My question was answered by one from him. Just before we arose from the luncheon table he asked in what News " For OF A WIFE = By ADELE GARRISON he evidently meant to be a careless tone, but which my ear recognized as tense, strained: “How are you going to the station this afternoon when you go in to Mrs. Underwood’s dinner?"’ “Why, I hadn’t thought about it,” I answered. “The Durkees are going also, you know. We shall probably get a taxi and all four go to the station together.’ “Isn’t there some station on soms other llne that we could reach by taxi without too much inconven- jence?” I considered, trying to mlce from expressing the felt keep my surprise I “Its No Use—" ‘“Hempstead, on the main line, is only three miles from here,” I an- swered at last. “The two lines don’t join until get to Jamaica—is that right?” “You are corréct.” “Then may I ask that we go to Hempstead?” he said earnestly. b don’t wish to alarm you unduly, but I feel a bit uneasy about your going to the places you are accustomed to go, for the next few days.” “You don’t accept the theory of the others, then, that the shot the other night was fired by the escaped luna- ic who roamed through the village * I, asked quietly, although I was in reality much upset at this recurrence of the fears under which I had la- bored. “I don’t know what to think,” Rob- ert Savarin returned gravely, “but I know that the woman who once bore my name is a very vindictive person, nd that she will stop at nothing to e revenged upon any one she fancies has thwarted her. If Mrs. Under- wood’s theory be true that she has added the use of drugs to her other vices, she is indeed a desperate and a dangerous person, and you cannot take too many precautions.” “I" will do_exactly as you request,” I returned, thoroughly frightened. The matter was easily arranged, al- though I had to quiet Mrs. Durkee’s curiosity rather peremptorily, and the journey to the city ‘held no incident out of the ordinary. But when we reached the taxi stand of the Penn- sylvania station * a slender velled figuré appeared at my elbow as I was stepping into-a car, and a voice mur- they mured mockingly: “It's no use trying to fool me, you see. You're only wasting your time trying.” — BY RUTH Nothing makes me more impatient than to hear middleclass (I refer to incomes) people complaining their heads off about the high Cosl of liv- ing §l'hf:s cost of living has become al- most as much a commonplace as the weather nowadays. Wherever people meet it comes to the surface as nat- urally as “Well, is this hot enough for you?” or “Isn't this a fine morning?” Of course it is exasperating (to put it mildly) to see the purchasing powers of one's dollars steadily low- ered. It is very trying to have to got along with last year’s motor car instead of buying a new one. Or to have to stay in a big comfortable airy suburban house with every con- venience instead of going away to the shore. How Can They Be So Smug? But what gets me is the smug way these people are aroused to no feeling but pity for themselves by these con- ditions. How can they be so utterly indifferent to the fact that what to them means fewer luxuries means un- derfeeding, if not actual starvation, to many? How can they forget what it must mean to the man bringing up a fam- ily on fifteen or twenty dollars a week (to say nothing of those who receive less) ? He just got by. before by buy- ing only the cheapest cuts and living in a tenement. But what in Heaven's name is he going to do now? Will He Watch His Children Starve? You'll cut down. But he can't. CINEMA SPECTACLE COMING TO FOX'S Announcement has just been made by the management of Fox's theater, that the newest, biggest and best photo-spectacle novelty from the ‘William Fox studios will come to New Britain for a four days’ run on Mon- day, August 27th. ‘“Jack In the Beanstalk,” which is the name of the picture had its initial presentation in New York city two weeks ago last night, and it is due for a long run their, turning thousands of people away from every performance., Al- though the New York prices run up to a dollar, the picture will be ex- hibited to New Britain audiences be- 13 no doubt that “Jack’” will bo a new kind of mensation for this city, for during the whole ten reels, which is the length of the picture, the spac- tator lives in an enchanted land, and every c¢motion that Jack and the SIDE TALKS CAMERON We Must Do Something ‘Well, I suppose he’ll watch his chil- dren starve. The cost of living has meant some deprivations to me. But when I catch myself complaining about it in that self-pitying way I hate myself. I shan't suffer (in all human likeli- hood). No one who belongs to me or whom I know intimately will really suffer. I Want Them to Complain More. 1 said it made me impatient to hear middle class people ocmplain- ing about the high cost of living. What I meant ivas that I objected to the self-pitying, utterly selfish way in which they complain. I want them to complain more, not less. I want them to do more than complain. I want them to be filled with a burn- ing indignation which will make them read and study.and talk and try to understand thig thing so that they can put thelr influence and thelr suf- frage behind some force that will het- ter things. The public opinion of the big steady middle class is the greatest force in this country. Let us not be content to groan about the high cost of living as we do about the hot weather. Let's go without food a day if necessary to make our- selves understand what some people are suffering and to fill us with right- eous indignation instead of fretful grumbling. \ . S T— fairy princess feel, is right into his own being. Forget, for a couple of hours, that you ever ‘were unfortunate enough to grow up, and get back into the inno¢ent spirit of childhood with the greatest ‘kid- dle” plcture ever concelved—the Peter Pan of the screen. fore any other place in New England gets it, and the prices will be only ten and twenty cents. It would be difficulty to describe “Jack in the Beanstalk.” Everyone remembers the advehtures of this valiant little hero, and his magic es- capades up the trunk of the mam- moth vegetable. It i{s childhood's favorite tale. And in its screen ver- slon it is even more fascinating, not only to the little folks, but to grown- ups, as well. It is staged as only a Fox production can be staged. There are 1,300 “kiddies" taking part, to- gether with hordes of horses, cows, and dogs, and in addition there is a real giant—the biggest that could be found,-—who actually measures eight feet and six inches in height. Thero transmitted —— ‘DUSTIN FARNUM AT FOX THEATER TODAY Good news for local movie-fans is found in the announcement of to- day’s Fox feature, which is the tri- umphal and long-wished-for return of that whirlwind hero and screen idol, Dustin Farnum, in the latest and best punch-production that will last forever, “Durand of the Bad-Lands.” The name is ¢nough to guarantee ac- tion of the stand-up-and-fight type, and the magnetic personality of thg star is ail manifest in this new ve- hicle, in which he plays a daring, devil-may-care two-handed outlaw ot the West, and three lovable kids. Enough said—the picture talks for itself. And another thing: Charlie Chaplin is going to do his bit to make the show a little better than' even the Fox standard. For he is here with his millfon-dollar feet and three-cent moustach in one of the funniest two- reelers he ever made, ‘“The Bank.” A Metro comedy, in which the laugh- getter of a different kind, Ralph Herz, appears, will-be shown, as will the entertaining and instructive Ford ‘Weekly. MARGUERITE CLARK IN KEENEY FEATURE America’s most popular screen star, Marguerite Clark, will be seen at Keeney's on the first three days of the current week, the captivating young actress making her bow in the Froh- man picturization of *“The Valentine Girl”” The special feature for the last half of the week will be the Lasky film, “The Girl at Home,” with Viv- fan Martin and Jack Pickford heading the cast. Other attractions during the week include a new chapter in ‘‘The Voice on the Wire' "Wednesday and Thurs- day and the twelfth episode in “The Neglected Wife” scheduled for Friday and Saturday. In addition there will be the regular Universal releases and some high class vaudeville acts. RICHARD'’S CIRCUS VISITS THIS CITY One of the most brilliant and clean cut circus parades ever exhibited on the streets of this city heralded this morning the arrival of the . T. Richard's Supreme Show of the World. All that was claimed was shown free on the streets and the new and spark- ling wagons, the well groomed horses, the floats of red and gold showed bet- ter than words can tell that the new circus venture is indeed worthy of a place with the great circuses of the world. The parade started from the shaw grounds on Stanley street and passing through the main thoroughfares, was reviewed by most of the local residents and many visitors from out of town who expressed their approval. or course all of the children far miles around were on hand and their gleeful laughter and Ohs! and Ahs! of sur- prise and delight gave proof enough that a real, big circus parade was passing. Nearly a mile in length the parade showed besides the wagons and floats, 150 horses, a herd of huge elephants, many camels, zebras and sacred cattle from ‘India. More than 200 men and women robed in magificent costumes took part on horseback and atop the wagons while military bands, band wagons and compressed air calliopes provided lively music. Many clowns enlivened the stately procession. The show grounds gave added evi- dence of the completeness of equip- ment and efficiency of the organization of the new circus. There was a big crowd to watch the tents being erected and shortly before noon when the side show opened there was a rush for the ticket booths. The first performance started at 2 o'clock and when the en- trances were thrown open one hour be- fore a real crawd had collected to visit the menagerie before entering the main show tent. . The performance, up to the time of going to press was one of the best ever seen in this vicinity. There will be another performance at 8 o'clock this evening, the doors opening at 7 o'clock.

So to start the new week right, the Lyceum will present Bessie Barrigt cale Monday and Tuesday in “Baubs of Bluec Ridge.” Bessie is no stranger here, mirer: The ston with each new appearance. as the name implies, deals with life in the Blue Ridge moun- tains. It is a wholesome picture, full of action and intensity,—but is not sensational. This is the principle upon which the Lyceum has succeed- ed in so short a time. The manage- ment believes in clear pictures which can be shown to people from six to sixty without a blush. BURLESQUE RESUMED AT GRAND THEATER A crowded house was the testi- monial paid the management of the Grand theater, Hartford, Saturday night when Solly Ward opened the season with the “Roseland Girls.” The Grgnd theater is on the Columbia cir- cuit, which represents all that is best always adding to her many ad- in burlesque. The ‘“Roseland Girls"” is a show filled with bright and catchy songs, lively music and plenty of humor. The girls are young and pretty and the best week in the history of the house is expected starting tonight. Every- thing is new and altogether it is an A No. 1 performance. FRANKFORT BOMBARDED. Frenth Aviators Retaliate For At tacks on Nancy. 104 Paris, Aug. 13.—Two French avi- ators dropped bombs on Krankfort- on-the-Main, one of the most impor- tant cities of the German empire, having a population of more than 300,000.
