Form Leagues Now AETNA BOWLING ALLEYS gotten rid of his sulkiness toward me wieh his ebullition of temper concern- ing Dr. Pettit, had kept us royally en- tertained as only Dicky can when he is in a good humor, It was late when he finally went to his room, but I knew from the look in Katherine’s eyes that tired as she was she wanted to unburden her heart to me before she slept. At Lilllan Un- derwood’s dinner in honor of Robert Savarin I had noticed the boorish manner of Jack Bickett, her flance and my cousin, toward her, and later guessed that the reason for his actians was his jeealousy of Dr. Braithwalite, Dicky’s brother-in-law, the head of the hospital unit to which Katherine be- longed, and because of whose work here she had come back from the front. Katherine’'s answer startled me. She turned from the mirror in front af which she had been braiding her long, beautiful hair for the night, and sank to her knees at my side and burst into tears. I put my arms around her, drew her close, and tried to apologize. “Why, Katherine, I didn't mean to make you feel like this. I never should have asked you that question, but I thought you wanted to tell me all about it.” Her answer came brakenly. “Don’t. I do want to tell you, but please let me cry—it's the first time.” I said no more, only held her closer and smoothed the satin softness of her brown hair. The words, “It’s the first time,” struck a responsive chord in my heart as I gazed down at her. I, too, knew what it had been to repress tears, knew also what it meant to a woman in trouble to have somewhere in the world another woman’s shoul- der to “cry on.” When she finally dried her eyes, she sprang up with the pretty impetuous- ness I had always loved in her. “What a fool I've made of mysel: she said practically, going over to a stand in the corner and pouring cold water into a basin. As she bathed her eyes and face she gave a little sardonic laugh. “Tell me, Madge,” she said, “did you ever see a woman who couldn’t cry becomingly? I've read of them, but I've yet to mee one, and I've cer- talniy watched all varieties of weeping females.” ““There isn’t any such article,” I re- joined, and then I drew up a chair near mine, afraid lest the bitterness of her tone meant that she had drawn an armar over her intended confidence. But she sank, obediently into # when she had finished bathing her face, and clasped her hands around her knees. “There's only one thing the matter, she said, ‘‘and you couldn’t help seeirg what it was the other night at Mrs. Underwood’s dinner."” Katherine Explains. “You mean that Jack objects to Dr. Braithwaite’s work taking so much of your time?” I replied, temparizing, for I did not wish to put my real con- viction into words until Katherine her- self should give me the cue. “I mean that he is actually jealous of Dr. Braithwaite himself, imagines that the physician is in love with me and that I am more interested in him than I have any right to be.” She stretched her beautiful arms above her head with a gusture of im- portant irritation, 7 “Sometimes I think all the business and professional world ought to be divided like a Quaker meeeting, the men on one side and the women on the other,” she sald with a tinge of bit- terness. It seems almost impossible for a man and a woman to be asso- clated closely in any business or pro- fession without causing unpleasant comment or actual trouble if there's a nhusband, wife or a flance of either on earth. “And it's so unjust,” she went on. “You see, in this particular case, I Happened to, do my work in the waite, and he was kind enough to re- mark it, and gradually to give me the most responsible work he had.” “Of course you just ‘happened’ to do vour work well,” I put in affectionate- 1y, for I knew Katherine's reputation as one of the best nurses in the city. A little moue was the only indica- tion that she heard my interruption. " “And then Dr. Braithwaite’s wife fell {ll. Of course you knew .about that,” she continued. “To My Sorrow. ) I nodded. Dicky’s sister had indeed been taken ill shartly after she had gone to Paris with her big surgeon husband. I had wondered often how the physician had gotten along with- out her, for her efficient care of him and his absolute dependence on her had aroused my admiring wonder when they visited us before sailing. especial way that suited Dr. Braith- | o~ e A A A e P e e A News For Theatergoers and Women Readers e e e A A e REVELATIONS OF A WIFETHE CH By ADELE GARRISON ‘““Well then, of course, you know how dependent he always was upon her. And the thing that worried her most in her illness was the fact that she could no longer loak after him. So she asked him to select a nurse to come to the apartment, and look after housekeeping, servants and Friend Husband especially while she was ill. “And he elected you " I asked. “Yes,” Katherine returned soberly, “much to my sorrow.” “THE SPY” OPENS AT FOX'S SUNDAY Tomorrow is the day that ushers in the big William Fox production that - has taken New York by storm, “The Spy,” a super-de-luxe standard Fox- ! Farnum picture in which the hero- idol of the screen, Dustin Farnum, plays the principal part. The nature and mission of “The Spy” should not ! be misunderstood. It is not one.OE those well-meaning, but unentertain- ing films that are put out on every subject under the sun, and have ab- solutely nothing to recommend them but the fact that they are timely. Nor is it an attempt to commercialize the world war by resarting to artiflcial means of arousing patriotic enthus- jasm. ‘“The Spy” does not make so light of the American flag as to use it merely as a theatrical property to stimulate applause. The Fox Film Corporation holds the national colors in-too high esteem for such methods. On the other hand, *“The Spy” is a vitally important message to every man and woman in America. Condi- tions are revealed which exist in every city and town in the country, and there is no reason for supposing New Britajin to be any exception. Inci- dentally it may be stated here that we all deeply appreciate the fact that thousands of Americans of German birth or descent are giving the United States their undivided loyalty. This play, of course, does not refer to them in any way, and the producers would feel keen regret if it were to be misinterpreted by any such citi- zens. But the type of residents to which our feature DOES refer is the class which, under the nose of the American Secret Service, is constant- 1y seeking opportunity to transmit in- ‘jurious information about the activi- ties of our government to that of our enemies. There are some who pass upon this thought lightly, feeling that of our enemies. There are some who it does not strike home here. But it does! For it is a positive fact that there are oven ten thousand German spies operating on this side of the At- lantic today! And our government i1s only now commencing to fully real- ize that before Germany can be con- quered in France, she must be con- quered in the United States. “And “The Spy” is the picture that is des- tined to arouse the officials of every <ity in which it is exhibited to a keen sense of their .duties. It reveals In a’ startling manner some actual and amazing information regarding the enety police system in this country which has never before come to light, and is just now shown at the insist- ence of George Bronson Howard, who on his recent return from Ger- many, was bursting with indignation at the attitude of the Teuton govern- ment officials, who have been laugh- EF CHARM OF LOVELY WOMAN Soft, Clear, Smooth Skin Comes With The Use Of “FRUIT-A-TIVES”.

Montreal, Sept. 1.—Sixteen hundred rifles, thousands of cartridges and several sticks of dynamite were found in a vacant house in Chateaubriand street yesterday by the police . and Secret Service Agents detailed here to watch for plots among opponents of the conscription law. One man was arrested. Other small stocks of rifles of a model discarded by Canadian forces early in the war are said to havo been found by the authorities, with quantities of ammunition and dyna- mite.

The ugly spirit created by the pros- pect has been inflamed by the arrest of several anti-conscriptionist leaders on the charge of having conspired to murder Lord and Lady Athelstan and their daughter in the Carterville dy- namite outrage, and the police expect further trouble and perhaps some bloodshed in the cities and towns.

Ray in the “Clodhopper” made a great hit at the Lyceum yes- terday at both performances. By the !crowds that turned out to see thi picture it is easily shown that Mr. i Ray has many local admirers as well ! as admirers all over the country. They ido not make a mistake, as Chas. Ray lis classed as one of the most famous |stars of filmdom. Tonight is your {last chance to see this ‘popular star in “The Glodhopper.” On the same bill is the great Keystone comedy, | “The Dog Catcher’s Love.” For Mon. iand Tues. the um presents Dor- |othy Dalton in “Wild Winships Widow,” a Triangle play by John Lynch and produced under the super- | vision of Thos. Ince. 1t is a sprightly comedy of Virginia, and is beautified by such scenes as that of the Hunt Club Ball, the hunting expedition with the members of the party on horse- back and in tallyho and the lovely grounds surrounding the southern mansion where Morley Morgan pays ardent court to the dashing widow. The star is supported by a capable cast ineluding Joe King, Rowland Lee, Lillian Hayward and Alice Taafe. “SELF-MADE WIDOW” [ They ON FOX'S SCREEN Alice Brady has done more to in- crease her already great popularity by her splendld work in “The Self-Made * which is the feature of the present Fox program, than any of her previous achievements. Ta begin with, the story of the picture offers her a decidedly unusual role, that of a simple country miss—who, by the way, is not as simple as they try to make us think. She is brought to New York, under promises of marriage, and de- serted. It looks like tragedy, doesn't it? But in reality, it is the jolliest kind of comedy, for she straightway makes up her mihd that if she can’t \ be a wife, at least no one can stop her from being a widow. And all would have been well, if the man whose wife she was supposed to be had not come to life, and found her in full charge of his household. The best he can get out of his own premises is a position as gardener. But he takes it, and makes the most of the situa- tion. Then the fun begins, and it doesn’t stop until some of the most original and laughable situations con- ceivable are met with. Pearl White, in the eighth and best chapter yet of { “The Fatal Ring” encounters new and extraordinary dangers, and is given new opportunity to show what a plucky girl she must be in actual life, to take the desperate chances she does, merely to entertain her millions of admirers throughout the world. There are a number of other excep- tionally good films on the program, including the latest issue of the Pathe News, a Big V Comedy, and a laugh- getter from General studios. SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON Alarmists There are certain people who al- ways make out every calamity, every impending trouble, every minor mis- hap as worse than it is. These aré the people who tell you that Mrs. So-and-So is very sick, that she ate something poisonous and the doctor hardly things she will live when, as a matter of fact, Mrs. So- and-So has merely had a severe but hot at all dangerous attack of indl- gestion. Little Always Magnify Any Household Upset. These are the people who, when anything goes wrong in a household always magnify it in telling the other members about it. The roof leaked in the thunder shower a.nd they think the guest room ceiling is ruined. The guest room ceiling turns out to have one or two minor disfigurements on it. The butcher didn't come and there isn't a thing in the house for supper. Of course the house yields up a per- fectly good suppér when properly coaxed. She (the alarmist is a ‘“she” this time) knew it would, but she liked to give the alarm first.

It turns out to bhe the chicken pox. “1 Have fome Bad News to Tell You" A favorite trick of one type of alarmist is to say, “I have a Dpiece of bad news to tell you,” and then, after your heart has dropped into your shoes to tell you something un- pleasant but minor compared with the spectres her words conjured up. Of course after you get attuned to the alramists your heart gets over the trick of going into your boots every time they announce a calamity. You get attuned to .them, you learn to discount their alarms and wait for second reports from the front. They Are Like Clocks Set Fast. And the funy part of it is that you are apt to over discount them. TIt's like putting a clock fast and then depending on its being faster than it really is. And so the alarmists over-reach themselves and defeat their own ends. Whatever those may be. I could never quite make out myself.
