PRIVATE was laughing like a boy at some of the sallies which Dicky, Alfred Dur- kee, Lilllan and Mrs. Watrous were gracefully tossing across the table to each other. Lillian was too good a hostess not to include the rest of her guests in tht general conversation, but of course, as at every dinner, we were generally divided into - talkers and listeners, and I had noticed that of the quiet ones my brother-cousin, Jack Bickett, and Dr. Petit, across the table, were the most silent of the 12 guests. Katherine Sonnot, my brother- cousin’s flance on the contrar}{, was entering into the spirit of the affair with zest. Always a remarkably pretty girl, Katherfne was like a re- gal little marquise in a flowered rose silk with a filmy overdress of the | same tint. I knew that she had bought the material at a bargain- counter-basement sale, and had lab- ored many nights when tired out from her day’s work to make it, knew that it was her one good evening gown. and my heart thrilled with the genuine liking and pride I had.always felt for Katherine, But there were hectic little spots of color on her cheecks, a ‘fevered little glint in her eyes that spoke of some inward excitement which was finding relief in the gayety at the table. And, glancing from her face to that of the stern set ofie of my brother-cousin, I knew there was trouble somewhere, and resolved to find out what it was and if possible to remedy it. I had watched for the opportunity to put my question to Jack when both my query and his answer would be unob- served by the rest of the guests. He started perceptibly at my mur- mured words, but his - face as he turned it toward mine wore the im- passive look of an Indian. It was a look to which I was well accustomed. I knew it was the mask with which Jack always hid any strong emotion— behind which he endured any suffer- ing. An Obstinate Jack. “Why do you ask?” he parried in the same low tone that I had used. OF A WIFE GARRISON : “Because 1 know something is wrong between you and Katherine,” I returned decidedly. “Neither of you is happy right now, and you ought to be the happiest people in the world.” “That shows how little you know about it,” Jack returntd with a tone as nearly approaching curtness as he had ever used to me. ‘Katherine ap- pears to be happy enough tonight— you surely cannot find any flaw in her spirits,” he added after a minute. There was a hint of bitterness in his tone that made me wonder if Jack, my cool,’ staid brother-cousin, could also have within him the capacity for ridiculous jealousy that Dicky pos- sessed. “That shows how little about Katherine—or any I rejoined tartly. “Of course, to all outward seeming, Katherine is en- joying herself immensely, but any one who really loves her can see by the look in her eyes that she’s suffering. “If she is, it isn’t on my account,” Jack returned stubbornly, and the voice was that of an obstinate, sulky child, while his mouth set in a thin, tight line which angered me. “It's your own fault, then,” I re- torted sharply, “for if ever a girl idol- ized a man, Katherine had that feel- ing for you.” “Perhaps After Dinner.” He opened his eyes wide and looked at me as if he had never seen me be- fore. “It isn’'t like you to be shrewish, Margaret;” he said disagreeably, “and I think you'll find you are mistaken about the lady’'s real feelings.” There was an unpleasant note in his voice, and I realized that things were more radically wrong than I had thought. I realized something else, too, with a little flush of humiliation at the times when I had contrasted Dicky’s behavior with my brother-cousin’s unfaiing courtesy. Jack, too, could be brutally discourteous when he chose, I saw, and with the seeing felt a repentant yearning for Dicky. “Look here!” Jack said abruptly, and there was something peremptory in his tone. “I think I'll tell you all about this thing. Then you’ll realize better what you are talking about. “Not now,” I cautioned heneath my breath, as I saw that our dialogue was attracting the attention of the other diners. “Perhaps after dinner.” “All "Jack did not finish his answer, ‘for pealing high above the merry voices of the diners came an imperious ringing of the doorbell, you know woman—"" SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON . Let’s Find It. Once upon & time we had two work- «men in the house making some re- pairs for us. We had made certain plans and something in the construction of the house suddenly loomed up in the way of these plans. “What shall we do?” I said to the carpenters. Said one carpenter, “I don't see any- thing we can do. That wall is in the sway.” There Must Be Some Way. Said the other: *“There must be some way ta get around that difficulty. Let’s see if we can’t find it.” And presently he did. The other day I met that second carpenter on the street. He is a mas- ter builder now. He has five men workjng for him. The first carpenter is one of them. Do you wonder? I don’t. That little incident was so perfeoct- 1y typical of two ways, the right and the wrong, the conquering and the lying down way, of meeting difficul- ties. People Who Lie Down Get Walked 2 Over. 1f you lie down in front of difficul- ties they will always walk right over vyou and by and by you will be tram- pled flat and then what earthly good are you? ‘Whereas everytime you conquer a difficulty you grow more confident, more caurageous, more resourceful and more capable of meeting the next difficulty.

BRYANT WASHBURN AT THE LYCEUM For tonight and tomorrow the Ly- ceum ~spresents the popular screen idol Bryant Washburn in “The Man ‘Who Was Afraid.” This is a feature that the entire family should see. Just at this time when the draft talk is on the lips of everyone and thou- sands of boys in the country will leave their homes to join the colors, the Essany Co. has put out this pic- ture, the theme of which deals with a boy who was afraid and quit his company at his mother’s behest, dis- covers he is a coward. Despising him- self, and stung by the sneers of his friends, he re-enlists. Risking his life to save his friend he finds he is a coward no longer. ,On the same bill is “Do Children Count ” which is making a hit every week.

For next Monday and Tuesday the Lyceum announces a showing of New Britain’s popular leading man, Kenneth Harlan in “The Flame of the Yukon.” “THE STOLEN TREATY” AT FOX'S THEATER The big new Vitagraph-Blue-rib- bon feature picture, “The Stolen Treaty,” in which the popular Earle Williams stars, will head the Fox pro- gram for today and tomorrow. It is a picture that is worked out along highly original lines, and will be a revelation to those who are not fa- miliar with the operations of the | United States Secret Service, as it deals with'the unadvertised methods of this organization. But the politi- cal side of “The Stolen Treaty,” al- very realistic, is only incidental the picture, which is mainly cerned with an unusual, romantic and adventurous love affair. Co-star- ring with Mr. Williams is that new beauty, Corinne Griffith, whose work as the unsuspecting tool of the Se- cret Service who saves a matter of fifteen million dollars for the govern- ment is something well worth seein, Preparations are being made for the presentation of the big William Fox Standard production, ‘“The Spy,” in which Dustin Farnum is starred. It w¥ll have its primiere at the Globe theater New York next week, and will come to New Britain for three days the week after. “MAJESTICS” MAKE HIT AT THE GRAND to con- Beautiful stage settings are dis- played throughout the action of Fred Irwin's “Majestics” now playing a week’'s engagement at the Grand thea- ter. The sets were some of them evi- dently painted by a Futurist—they are very odd. The exterior of Churchill's restaurant at midnight is one of the striking effects. Among the comedy hits are the “Eat and Grow Thin” beauty parlor. Florence Bennett, Paul Cunningham, Lyle LaPine, Roscoe Ails, Flo Emory, Doc Dell, George Leon, Charles Tyson, Ruth Barbour, Louise Pierson, Eleanor Wilson and May Belmont are among the princi- pals. The musical hits include “Much Obliged, Broadway” and the “Reduc- ing Rag”. Sartorially, the production has been dressed with fine taste, some of the wardrobe creations being unique and all of them being beauti- ful to behold. though remarkably true to life, and- Theatergoers and Women Readers Whittall Anglo Persian $62.00 Reg. $82.50 Value SPECIAL SALE. .. 9x12 9x12 Whittall Teprac Wilton Reg.

Church Bowling Parties. (From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.) The Rev. R. H. Kirk, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church of Mec- Keesport, favors bowung in churches. Twenty-two mem 3!"4 have agreed to buy material for two alleys. Members of the church who use the alleys arp to place a certain amount in a “kitty box’ until the cost of the alleys has been met. Thereafter the “kitty box" is to be used only when it is necessary to raise money for repairs. l ’ Household Notes_’ It is better to have too little than too much vinegar in the salad dress- ing. The cold water method of c{n..' ning is said to be good for very sour fruit. Bread pudding is greatly improved by the addition of raisink or currants. — O Children may “have iced sassafras tea if denied the ordinary iced tea of their elders. Berries may be washed, drained® and dried on a cloth in the sun or set over the range. Now is the time ta plant spinach seeds if you wish that vegetable early in spring. ‘When washing neckwear the ad- dition of ammonia or borax to the’{ water will make articles white. Tomatoes filled with minced pine- apple, celery and chopped nuts mixed with» mayonnaise ‘are delicious. Pack glass and china in hay that is slightly damp. This will prevent the articles from slipping about. Apples, cored and filled with chop- ped dates or figs, then baked, make an excellent breakfast dish. Parsley and sweet herbs should be gathered on a sunshikiy day when full grown if they are to be dried. Choose the summer meals with a deliberate view to economizing in fuel and thus avoiding the overheating of the house. To dry green peas, shell them, soak in cold water one hour, boil two min- utes, drain off the water and dry near the fire. When making tea the quality of the tea will be improved if the tea pot is rinsed out with hot water just before using. ) Never paint the flower pots for house plants. It closes the pores of the pot, which are essential to free passage of air. In boiling steak or chops the fir sometimes dies down too quickly. When this happens sprinkle a little granulated sugar over the coals. This intensifies the heat and from the sugar imparts flavor to the meat. delicious
