Over and over again I the contents of the piece of crumpled pa- per I had picked up in the hall after Dicky had burned the papers in his waste basket. It was not long before I had no need of reading it, for I knew its contents, as children would say, “by heart, forward and back- ward and upside down.” I do not remember ever in my life being so puzzled by anything as I was when trying to decipher the real meaning of the fragment of a love letter which had been written in a feminine hand and then copied on the same sheet with a few changes by | my husband. It was so melodramatic a thing, its wording so flamboyantly extravagant that it might have been taken bodily from an old-fashioned ‘‘ten-twenty- thirty.”” I could not bring myself to believe that it was really meant for Dicky, or that it was in any manner connected with Bdith Fairs the Virginia art student, whose friendship for my husband had troubled me a great dea] in the last few month. She was so delicate, so ethereal a creature, so much the gentlewoman, that I could not associate words so turgid and torrid with her. And yet something told me that the feminine hand which had traced the lines confronting me was that of no other than the gir! from Virginia. In my years of high school teaching many girls had passed through my hands, and I had an unusual opportu- read AETNA BOWLING ¥ ALLEYS RAND HARTFORD Now Playing S OF AMERICA” h AL. K.

Some of my girls had come to me from southern private schools, and there had always been a ‘‘some- thing different” in their handwriting which I had remarked, and which now stared up at me from the frag- ment of a letter in my hand. What Madge Did. I tried to look at the thing dispas- sionately, to tell myself that thera must be some explanation of the thing, no matter how bizarre it might be. But recollections of Dicky’s fre- quent *‘engagements with art editors,” has growing absorption in this work or whatever it was in his room, hit order that neither Kate nor I should even dust the furniture and the elab- OF A WIFE GARRISON which my husband feared or was ashamed to tell me. A primitive, jealous anger rose in me. Impulses which T did not rec- ognize, which seemed thosc of anoth- er woman thronged upon me. I wanted to tear my hair, my clothing, to scream aloud, to summon Dicky and overwhelm him with virago-like wrath. Of course, I did none of these things, but the effort to suppress them robbed me of the poise and self-con- trol which would have enabled me to ignore the incident altogether, and trust to time for its clearing up. Still shaking from the emotional storm | which had swept me, I picked up the plece of paper with its florid amor- ous protestations, and went swiftly to Dicky's door. At my knock T heard an angr clamation, then a sharp, quick “who's there? “It is T, Madge,'t I returned, trying vainly to make my ce steady. 1 could hear him rise and come to the door. Me unlocked it, opened it only far enough for him to come out into the hall and closed it behind him. A Natural Question, “Well, what's the row?” he asked shortly. I saw that his eves were bright, his hair rumpled, his forehead dewed with perspiration as they al- ways are when he is engaged in work- ing out some illustration. I won- dered for a moment if he really were drawing as he used to do. An in- stant’s reflection assured me of my mistake. Indeed, he often called me to look at some detail of his draw- ing, especially if it concerned some item of women’s dress, and asked my opinion of it. I held the crumpled piece of pa- per out to him. “Here is something from your waste basket which dropped in the hall,” I said, and in my endeavor to control my voice I realized that it was grim and cold. He started as he saw it, and in-| voluntarily smoothed it out and saw what was written upon it. Then he crushed it angrily in his hand, opened . his mouth to speak, thouzht better of it. and turned toward his door. The calm manner in which he ig-| nored the piece of paper which had | caused me so much uneasiness was like a lighted match applied to a par- i orate air of secrecy which he had thrown around the papers in his waste | basket when he burned them—all these things pointed to some 8ecret ticularly inflammable piece of tinder. “Don’t you think you owe me an explanation of that very interesting missive?” I asked. I BIG DOUBLE BILL AT FOX’S THEATER Today is the day that that big double feature show starts at Fox’s. Two big full length features are on the program, and it would be hard to select two better, for they are ‘“‘Be- trayed,” Miriam Cooper’s latest screen success, and ‘“‘Double Trouble,” in which Douglas Fairbanks scored such a tremendous triumph. The spirit and romance of old Mexico and the hazardous adventures which overtake an army officer in search of a bold bad bandit form the story of the new Wil- liam Fox production, “Betrayed,” which R.-A. Walsh has just completed with Miriam Cooper in the leading role.| The story tells of a senorita’s dreams of love. She begins by prom- ising to marry one man, and before the picture is ended, she has prom- ised to marry three. Carmelita, played by Miss Cooper, throws aside Pepo, when she meets Leopold, a bandit. Then, when she discovers Billy Je- rome, an American officer who has come to Mexico as a spy in search of the ruffian, she forsakes I.eopoldo. She writes the Americano that she will be beside the brook with the man he seeks. But Leopold Intercepts the note, reverses the plot, and the result is—something that you'd never suspect. As for “Double Troubles,” it pre- sents old Doug Fairbanks at his very best, and he pulls off some of his ! crazy acrobatic comedy that is guar- anteed to tickle the sides of a gran- ite monument. When he sets out to get a thing, he usually comes back with it, and in this picture he comes back with more trouble than even his extra-agile physique is capable of handling. A number of superior short subjects will complete the program. ‘When washing black combs, brush- es and trays try rubbing a little olive oil into them after washing them. This will prevegt their turning gray and streaked.

And one of the many awakenings that come to the same young person as he grows a little oider is to dis- cover that other peoplc also have these thoughts and feelings. Those Haunting, Taunting Half Memories. We were discussing some of these queer sensations the other day. Of course the commonest of them is the sense that somewhere before you have been in just the same position, heard the same things said and made the same answer. The average young person is inclined to fancy that this is some memory of a former exis- tence, some vision that the ‘shades of the prison house” have not yet been able to shut out. He thinks that he is peculiarly favored. When he discovers that almost everyone is subject to these haunting, taunting, half memories he is surprised,—and probably not wholly pleased. Could Anyone Think “I” Instead of “Me.” Another experience that most of us have had is that of catching a glimpse of oneself in the glass and suddenly becoming detached frora oneself. One realizes all at once, “that person in there; the person that other people sec and talk with and that 1 never really see is me” (T can’t imagine anyone highbrow enough to think “T”-instead of ‘“‘me’ at such a moment.) WESLEYAN GETS BUSY. Middletown, Sept. 19.—Football practice at Wesleyan University be- gan yesterday, two days before college opens, without a captain or coach, and with only two of last year's 'varsity and six of last year's freshman elev- ens as the basis of a team. Dr. Ed- gar Fauver, professor of physical edu- cation, will have charge of the team. Captain Charles M. Boswell, Jr., of the 'varsity, has enlisted in the navy. OHIO STATE REJOICES. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 19.—Despite recent announcements to the contrary Charles Harley the All-American half- back on last year's Western Confer- ence championship football team of Ohio State University, reported at Ohio State yesterday with the an- nounced intention of registering as a student. Odd pieces of velveteen, if over the broom, are excellent cleaning the walls. for A Week From Today JACK]! And the Beanstalk. @ put ! one had One feels momentarily as if had lost one’s grip on oneself; become detached from that physi- | cal body and couldn’t get back in, as if one were slipping off the world of material things and whirling away into space. T have really felt almost physically dizzy when I have thus become detached from my body. {To Sec a Familiar Housematc As If for the First Time. Still another of these psycholog- ical experiences is to suddenly see a familiar housemate as if for the first time. I think this most often hap- pens with husbands and wives. One looks across the reading table wherc he is sitting behind his evening pa- {per and wonders suddenly, “Why is he here? Isn’t it queer that we should have separated ourselves from the | rest of the world to live in a house | together. Tsn't it queer that we, who |never met till a few years ago, should have left our kindred and come together this* way?’ And for a moment he becomes almost like a stranger. Then the commonplace re- asserts itself in some way, and the world swings back into its ordinary orbit. Perhaps there will be some read- ers who will judge me to be a fit sub- ject for the psychopathic ward from these confessions. But for every one who feels that way T am willing to wager that there will be ten, who will say to themselves “Why that's Just the way I've felt sometimes.” T e EILEEN COMING TO The announcement that the son’s greatest musical success, the romantic comic opera entitled “Ei leen,” which was rated foremost among the leading musical plays seen in New York last year. and bearing the magic names of Victor Herbert, composer, with Henry Blossom, as librettist, with the entire original company tra of specially selected soloists which will be the attraction at Parsons the- ater, for a week beginning on Mon=- day, Sept. 24th, is sure to awaken more than ordinary interest among our playgoers. Of the many successful plays that have come from the workshop of Victor Herbert and Henry Blossom, and among them are included “I'lle Modiste”; “The Red Mill"; ‘The Prima Donna’; “The Only Girl”; and “Princess Pat,’ it is said that not one of them ever proved more successful than did “Eileen,” their latest joint { work which enjoyed a long season’in !New York last year, at the Shubert i theater. i For the production of “Eileen,” | Joe Weber is sending the entire New York company. principals and chorus.
