T don’t think one of the guests at Lillian Underwood's dinner in honor of Robert Savarin will ever forget the picture Lillian made at the head of the table, framed against the aus- tere background of the dining room she had remodelled in imitation of an old monastery refectory. “Perfect!” breathed Cousin Jack to me—I was his dinner partner— as his eves travelled over the tables with Lillian's old silver and rare china and glass relieving their sombreness to the gracious hostess in her striking costume. “Old Lil's struck 12 this time,” murmured Frank Lester at my other ide. “Of course she'd want to do something special for Savarin—he's the one best bet socially just now. Think how many hostesses would give their eyes to be in Lil's shoes to- night—and she’s certainly succeeded. “The old boy is pleased, too, you can see that. Just give him the once Mrs. Graham; he can't make s behave when he looks at old ay! What'll you bet he isn’t getting sweet on he “Oh, hush!” I whispered in an agony of nervous fear that some one would hear his flippant chatter. “I'll shut wp,” Mr. Lester returned aggrieved, ‘‘but any .one that's got eves can see how the old gent looks at her. Pity Harry Underwood couldn’t get some fever down in South America. He's a good scout, Harry is, and I like him, but I don’t think he’s made Lil's life particularly bliss- ful, and she deserves something good out of life if anybody does.” Could Everyone See? T forgave Mr. Lester’s cheap flip- pancy because of the sincere ring of liking in his volce when he spoke of Lillian. But I couldn’t help smiling cynically to myself at the inconsist- ency of the man. He was notorious n his circles for his neglect of his I noted, had lost the infantile OF A WIFE GARRISON guests at Lillian’s table were her tried and true friends, I didn't like the idea of having thém realize the depth of Robert Sovarin’s feeling for her. I am not naturally quick of thought and I cudgled my brain wildly for some apropos question Which I could put to Robert Savarin, com- pelling his reply, and taking his eyes from Lilllan’s face. But before I could make my brain cells work, Lil- lian herself met the difficulty. “Have you told Mr. Savarin yet of vour latest protege, Ella?” she asked of Mrs. Watrous and a note of laugh- ter ran beneath the words. “Not yet, Lillian,” Mrs. Watrous re- turned defiantly, “‘but give me a chance to open my mouth and I shall do so at once.” We all laughed, for any one ‘had ever known or heard of Mrs. Watrous was acquainted with her penchant for picking up all sorts of impossible persons in whom she thought she discerned the spark of artistic genius, and trying to develop their possibilities. That most of her swans turned out sooner or later to be particularly stupid and often un- grateful geese troubled her not at all. I had alyays had a shrewd suspicion that the pose of Lady Bountiful rather appealed to her vanity. How Lillian Managed. “Silence on the side lines!” Lillian commanded gayly. “Go ahead, Ella.” And while Mrs. Watrous recited a really iteresting tale of the young Italian lad she had discovered making burnt match sketches on a fence— she is a clever reconteur, and inter- ested not only Robert Savarin, but all the other guests—I paid a mental tribute to Lillian. I knew that she had recognized the look in Robert Savarin’s eves, knew it by the flush of her cheeks, the light in her eyes. Of course she could not realize the full depth of the feeling he betrayed as could I, whom he had taken into his confidence, but she had seen enough to realize that the man who had unknowingly won her girlish adoration, was usually interested in her. who HIS HEART BADLY| AFFEGTED “Fruit-a-tives” Soon Relieved This Dangerous Condition 632 GERrrARD St. East, ToRrONTO. “For two years, I was a victim of Acute Indigestion and Gas In The Stomach.

LAS’I—‘ SHdWING OF “THE SOUL OF SATAN” Gladys Brockwell, the winsome Fox star, hag certainly added materially to her laurels by her splendid work in “The Soul of Satan,” in which she ap- pears at Fox's theater this evening for the last time. It is.the story of a woman’s temptations, and shows in a graphic manner, the way an innocent can be used to further disrep- without being aware of their intent. Miss Brockwell por- trays the role of a simple ‘country miss, who, through the narrow-mind- edness and suspicious nature of her father, is conipelled to marry a swindler with whom she had had no intimacy save that of dancing with him at a country “hop.” She is girl utable schemes, preparatory pret hours.

Even though all the his she had done at my home, but in any emergency I saw that she was the same clever woman of the world whose aplomb had so often won my admiration. Fathers an The other day in the trolley I saw a little group that set my heart strings singing. It was just a father and his two boys but they were evidently going off for some kind of a picnic together and they were having such a happy time. The youngsters were screwing around to look out of the window and laughing and chattering. And it was | Oh father this” and “Oh Father | that” and it was very plain that the biggest boyv of all wasn’t having the least jolly time. The Gold Mines In His Pockets. I could just visualize them reach- ing their destination and father dig his hand into those trouser pockets that seem to vouth a gold |.mine without bottom, and digging | out nickels and dimes galore for pop- corn and flying horses and chewing gum and Ferris Wheels.

The Beautiful Friendship of Father and Son, I have heard it claimed that the love between father and daughter is the most touching and selfless affec- tion in the world. But I like as much to see a father and a grown son who have passed that almost inevitable period where vouth and age stormily clash, and have come into the quiet, happy harbor of a deep and enduring Jfriendship. Such friendships have their begin- nings in such childish adventures as I witnessed the other day. Blind in- deed the father who too bus; too careless or too salfish to cultl- vate the friendship of his children before a wall of formality and re- stry t and self consciousness has grown up between them. dered to snare in any way that might attract him. It is a big virile picture with a moral lesson for parents and daughters. Charlic Chaplin never fails to make audience shake the rafters with their laughter when he sets his mind on it, and in “Work,” the two-reel subject with which he entertains to- night, he certainly lives up to his reputation. There is also a most in- teresting and instructive travelogue issue of the Ford Weekly, and several other comedy numbers on the pro- gram. Tomorrow’s feature will be the much heralded and extraordinary Blue-ribbon up-to-date drama, ‘‘The Stolen Treaty,” in which the popular Earl Williams is starred. In this, the latest and most successful production from the Vitagraph studios, is to be found a startling exposition of the methods pursued by the United States Secret Service, but the main plot evolves about a wonderfully clever and romantic love affair. an « t b IRWIN’S “MAJESTICS” PLEASE AT GRAND That burlesque performances with- out the usual attempt at plot are pleasing was shown at the opening performances of Fred Irwin's “Ma- { jetics” at the Grand theater yester- day and last evening. At the outset, a member of the troupe announces that this year’s show is along: some- what different lines and subsequent results prove the truth of the state- ment. For two hours and a quarter, an audience small and rather cool in applauding several clever jokes and tuneful song numbers, was treated to a first class vaudeville show.
