'\ GRAND HARTFORD ALL WEEK STONE and PILLARD with the “SOCIAL MAIDS” MATID SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON ( Just Poor The other day I sat down to write a letter and found myself shrinking from the process more than usual. “Now why is it?” I wondered as I took up my pen. And then I knew. 1 had a poor, scratchy pen ‘and an ink well so scantily supplied that I Lad to keep dipping my pen. Consciously I had forgotten the de- fect or I would have remedied it, but subconsciously the sense of my poor equipment haq been a factor in my disinclination. I think a subconscious sense of in- adequate equipment is often a fac- tor in @ne's dislike of a task. The Man Who Hates to Carve. Take the case of the man who hates to carve."

And then there's never wants to about the house. Perhaps he too is handicapped by inadequate tools. A g00d sharp saw and axe might be a valuable investment for his wife to make. the man do any little who job Needles Too Small For the Thread. I know that seme of my childish dislike of sewing came from the fact that the needles my mother gave me were always too small for the thread (from my point of view. I realize now that it is the sign cf a good needle- woman to sew with needles so small that it is a struggle to get the needle threaded, and of a good house- keeper (o wash dishes with water so hot that you cannot bear your hands in it.) To my natutal disinclination to sewing was added a dread of the initial struggle with the needle. Sometimes it is one’s physical equipment which is inadequate. I once knew a woman who couldn't bear to touch a needle, it made her so nervous, she said. Finally she had acute trouble with her eyes, had them tested and glasses fitted. And behold it no longer makes her ner- vous to sew. Give the Child a Better Equipment. If T had a child with a natural dis- inclination to any line of endeavor, a boy who wasn’'t handy mechanically, a girl who hated sewing, it seems to me I should do everything I could to make their equipment satisfactory. T A Word About Comfort What There gallon «SOCONY!” you get out of your car depends to a large extent upon what you put into it Just as a matter affecting your own ‘comfort it pays to get only the best SOCONY. gasoline — is no gasoline more highly refined or more pow- erful than SOCONY. And it is the only gasoline which is always the same, wherever you buy it. That means a welcome freedom from faulty carburetion. Look for the Red, White and Blue SOCONY Sign. It in. sures you more miles to' the and more power to the mile. Standard Qil Co. of New York would give the girl the daintiest and most completely fitted work bag pos- sible and the boy a good set of prac- tical tools. Also I would make sure there was no defect in physical equip- ment. To be sure you can’t make a handy man or an expert needlewoman out of unpropitious material that way but you can at least push away some of the obstcles that make the right path the path of most resistance. o Canmnen “HER EXCELLENCY” ON LYCEUM SCREEN Tonight is your last chance to see one of the most interesting pictures ever shown in this city.” Wifred Lucas and Elda Miller are featured in ‘‘Her Excellency/ the Governor.” Elda Mil- ler plays the role of the lieutenant- governor of the state who manages to act as governor long enaugh to put through a big measure. How she sits in the governo chair for just two minutes and smashed a smooth- running, money-oiled political ma- chine is very interestingly depicted in his feature. For Wednesday and Thursday, the popular screen star, Bryant Washburn, will be shown in “The Galden Idiot.”” It is the story of how a beloved vagabond takes a 1,000-to-1 chance for a fortune and wins it, as well as the love of a pretty heiress. On the same bill will be the Lyceum Weekly, showing the latest current events and also many other good films. * Ask Your Friend. There ls hardly a neighborhood in any city, town or hamilet in the Unit- ed States where women cannot be found who have derived benefit from Lydia E. Pinkham’'s Vegetable Com- pound. For more than forty vears this botanic remedy has been over- coming some of the worst cases of female ills As one woman has found help she has told anothér, who has used it with the same result; so the use of this great medicine has spread from shore to shore by the recom- mendation of those who have found i¢ good. Therefore, ask your neighbor, let her tell you from experience the benefit which ailing women derive from the use of this famous medicine.

How Mrs. It was a good five minutes beore either Katherine or I spoke. Before our eyes was the unconsclous figure of Mrs. Allis on my bed, tied down by Katherine to prevent her doing either harm to herself or to us when she should finally awaken, while through our brains floated pictures of the hor- rible fate Katherine had averted from me, when she crept into my room and with Her ammonia gun vanquished the drug-maddened woman who had tried to dash acid into my face. “How did you ever happen to hear us, and how did you unlock the door when sMe had the key?” I asked at last. My overstarined nerves felt that if our silence, broken only by the stertorous breathing of the figure on the bed, should last much longer I should scream aloud. I think Kath- erine realized this for she began to talk rapidly of her exploit. “Why, you see, I couldn’t sleep,” she said, “and finally I got up and went to the bathroom, thinging if I bathed my face and hands with cold water it would quiet me—it does sometimes when I'm nervous. I noticed the light beneath your door and the murmur of voices. 1 could ‘hear your husbandls snores from his room and I knew that Katie and Jim had gone to bed long before. Be- sides T hadn’t been asleep and I knew that Katie could never have gone to your room without my hearing her— she isn't exactly a gumshoe sleuth, vou know,” her eyes twinkled at the thought of Katie's usual noisy move- ments. “So I thought matters would stand a little investigating on my part. “I first tried the door, noiselessly, and found it locked, but with no key in it. Without any further scruple; for I have heard you say that you never lock your door at night, I knelt- down and looked through the keyhole. What I saw made me hurry to my room and get my ammonia gun and a skeleton key I have, and come back. The rest you know.” “Where in the world did you get a skeleton key?” I asked idly.

It was against the rules, of course, but my sympathies weren’t so well under control then”—she looked quizzically at me, and I saw that she still resented my unspoken criticism of her method of dealing with Mrs Allis—"and T did as he asked. Among the things in the little bag was the skeleton kéy, and it has proved useul to me two or three times since then. But never has it done such good servicgras tonight.” s She rose, and looked again at Mrs. Allis. “She'll be quiet for couple of hours yet,” she said. Go into my room and get some sleep. I don’t need you at all now.” “Go to sleep!” I echoed indignantly “Do I impress you as being a phleg- | imatic creaure who could go to sleep { after an adventure of this sort. And, besides, you know I wouldn’t leave you here alone. So please say nothing more about it.” “Very well.' She accepted my ulti- matum quietly, but I guessed that se- cretly she was glad to have my com- pany in her vigil. ‘“Now for the next question. Shall you or I go down stairs, get the electric grill and make a pot of strong coffee? I shall need it for this specimen on the bed when she wakes, and I'm sure a cup of good, steaming coffee would do us both good.” 1 knew Katherine’s weakness for coffee of old, and her words awak- ened my own liking for the beverage. “I'll go down,” I said at once. “I know where things are, and besides [ should be mortally afraid to be left alone again with her’—I1 indicated the silent flgure on the bed. “What's to Be Done?" “I know,” Katherne nodded ac- quiescence, “‘and besides you do make the most scrumptuous coffee.!"” I hurried downstairs, calmed by Katherine’s manner, made the coffee, prepared a tray and brought two cups and some sandwiches upstairs. We sat for a long time over the cof- fee, talking in low tones of the wo- man who had so nearly brought tragedy into my room but a short time before. Katherine ended our talk by saying: ““And now the next thing to con- cider is—what's to be done with her?” “Perhaps you'll be so kind as to let me decide that for myself,” said a mocking voice from the bed. GREATER THAN ALL “THE HONOR SYSTEM"” The picturizaticn of “‘The System” being shown on the screen at Fox's theater daily until Thu ay evening, depicts in a clear manner the one-time horrors undergone by the unfortunate inmates of scme of the prisons throughout the country, and the marked changes that have been brought about through the installa- tion of a more humane system. The picture carriss with it more heart throbs than have been shown in other big features at the theater, the audi- ence at all performances evincing a | keen interest in every scene. 'The pic- ture is in ten reels, consuming about two and one-half hours. | Around Joe Stanton (Milton Sills), | Trixie Bennett,, (Gladys Brockwell), Jack Taylor (George Walsh) and Tthel Steele (Miriam (ooper) the plot s laid. The story deals with Stanton Honor | who is called to Howling Dog, Okla., to accept a place in a copper concern. While there, an uprising started by Mexican bandits who have been aid- ed by an unscrupulous district at- torney. The town also has its notor- halls in which Stanton makes the acquaintance of Trixie Bennett. She appeals to him to as- sist in her, uplift work and when he is attacked by one of the habitues of in self defense, he kills the He is found guilty of and is sentenced to imprisonment for Then begins the story of bar- accorded a brutal warden who is afterward discharged by a kincély governor, act« ing on an appeal from Stanton. These scenes will show how prisoner were lashed and thrown into dir dungeons to pass away of their existance.
