He took the hand I had outstretched to him in both his own, and 1 was startled at their cold- ne: There was a tremor in them, too, that betrayed the power of the anger which had just swept him. “It is I who should ask you to for- give me,” he said, “for my outbreak of anger against you. But my temper has always bheen my besetting sin— and—I don’t remember ever being hurt quite so cruelly before.” “I am so sorry,” I murmured, and his clasp tightened on my hand for an instant. Then he released it. ‘“Would vou prefer to remain here while T make arrangements for our luncheon in the public grill, or will you come with me now?” he said in a matter-of-fact tone. Before I had time to answer the waiter appeared bearing a laden tray. And then came to me a comprehen- sion of the embarrassment it would cause Dr. Pettit to have our luncheon changed from this uhobtrusive alcove at the end of the main dining room the head waiter had erroneously given him upon his telephone order to the public grill. I could see also that we might be made unduly conspicuous as the result of the confusion attending the change. I felt my Puritan repug- nance at the idea of dining with Dr. Pettit at so private a table giving way to a common-sense view of the situa- tion. Thank You. My anger against the young physi- cian had been roused by the thought that he had deliberately planned to | have me lunch with him so. He had convinced me that our being ushered to the alcove was the result of a mis- understanding upon the part of the head waiter, and the appearance of the waiter with the tray convinced me of something else—of the futility of trying to change the arrangements. “Please,” I said to him hurried forestall the directions to the waiter I knew were upon his lips, “please let matters stand as they are. It would be absurd to try to change things now." He stared blankly at me for an in- OF A WIFE GARRISON stant, evidently bewildered by the kaleidoscopic change in my opinions. Then his face expressed relief, grat- j itude and understanding in quick suc- cession. “Thank you,” was all the comment made, but there was that in his voice which transformed the simple words into a volume. He seated me at the table with the grave dignity which never leaves him, and then took the chair opposite mine. he An Infinite Gentleness, 1 had never felt less like eating, and imagine that Dr. Pettiit’s appetite not particularly sharp, but my roat was parched and feverish, and the first course the waiter served was a delicious concoction of chilled grapefruit cubes and strawberries. It not only cooled and soothed my throat, but' gave the necessary fillip to my appetite, and T was soon dis- cussing with real enjoyment the shrimps, the broiled squab, the alli- gator pear salad and the other de- licious dish the waiter brought in silent deft succession. ‘We might have been the most hum- drum couple in the world, a prosaic brother and sister or a married pair of 20 years' standing from any indi- cation our conversation gave of our real relations to each other. And vet there was a subtle something in the waiter’'s mapner that made me un- comfortable. * There was a furtive haste about his serving as if he thought we wished to dispense with his presence as soon as possible, and his disappearances were made hurriedly, while his ap- pearances were ostentatious, almost as if he were giving warning of his com- ing. T saw Dr. Pettit glance wrath- fully at him once or twice, and won- dered if he, too, noticed,or resented the man’s manner. He made no comment, however, in- deed he uttered nothing but the most banal of commonplaces, until after the ices, when the waiter had brought us our demi tasses and had departed to return no more till summoned for his check. Then the doctor leaned forward across. the table and spoke with infinite gentleness: “I wonder if you will stand what this means to me?"” ever under- kindness of yours The stems of Swiss chard can be stripped and canned like asparagus.

The man described some of the young man's escapades and what a time the family had to save him from the consequences. He himself had lost several hundred dollars by him. The story was quite unsolicited. The people to whom he told it were not intimate but casual friends. More Offensive Than Wrong. I had liked the man before he started telling that story. When he finished I felt a sort of a\'erslon for him. But why? Why shouldn’t he say his brother was a crook when it was perfectly true and when he had suffered so much from him, I asked myself? And then myself answered, “It may not be wrong for him to say so but its something more instinctively offensive than wrong, its bad taste.” Queer how we feel about certain things, isn’t it? Such a breach of family loyalty is one such thing. He Is Right But Our Sympathy Isn’t With Him. Another is any breach of courtesy to age even when age does not fully | deserve courtesy. For Instance, sup- pose a mother and daughter or father and son are arguing and suppose the older person is in the wrong and is very obtuse and obstinate, yet if the son pushes home his point with the same force he would use toward someone of his own age, something in us shrinks. He ls right, yes, but we don’t like it. Our sympathies go out to his opponent.' We don’t want him to use all his force. He has a right to, but we don’t want him to take advantage of that right. Any breach of the obligations of hospitality, even when the guest has not lived up to his obligations as a guest, also offends some instinct with- in us. ‘A guest may be selfish, crit- ical, hard to please, may outstay his welcome,—and vet i the host should | tell nim to go, while one would know L RAND HARTFORD 4 WEEK ALL WEEK JOY JUBILEE Spiegel’s Comedians in SPIEGEL REVUE WITH MIDGIE MILLER NBURY FAIR OCT. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1917 LEADER IN DISPLAYS, ACTIONS and ATTENDANCE RUNDLE.

People of the Best Breeding Cede Cer- tain Rights, It seems to me it all goes back to Phillips Brooks’' sentence which I have so often quoted to you. “We don’t have a right to all our rights.” There are some things which while they are not wrong, are In bad taste. One may have a right to do them of noblesse oblige among people with the highest breeding to cede certain rights and when people stand on their rights and refuse to cede them it leaves a bad taste in our feeling towards those people. Illogical? Perhaps so. But though I love logic I have come to see that there are some things even higher and greater. | ENID BENNETT AT 'LYCEUM THEATER On account of Enid Bennett in “The | Mother Instinct” being such a won- | derful picture the Lyceum has gone to the pains of keeping it for an | extra day. Here is a picture for all | lo see. The story is so realistic it holds you spellbound till the finish. For Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the Lyceum presents one of the most costly, and up-to-date picture pro- | grams ever shown in New Britain. The program will consist of Douglas Fairbanks in “Wild and Woolly,” Bessie Love in “The Sawdust Ring,” New Keystone comedy and the Ly- ceum Weekly of Current Events. Commencing tomorrow, Douglas Fairbanks, the popular exponent of the smile, appears in his second pro- duction released by Artcraft Pictures, entitled “Wild and Woolly.” The scenario, brimful of typical ' Fair- banks humor, by Anita Loos, author- ess of many of his past successes, has been produced under the direc- tion of John Emerson and discloses Douglas in what is felt to be his portrayal. ! For this film the strenuous actor- producer. has been practicing stunts since last summer and even while ap- pearing before the camera in other pictures his lariat was always nearby 80 that he could trv new tricks when- ever he had a few minutes to spare. One evening a friend found him in his New York apartment attired in | dress-clothes preparatory to attending a social affair, lassoing the door-knob while waiting. Whenever he found an opportunity for out-door work the ambitious actor hired a pony to prac- tice western tricks. As a result of all this training, for it was just that, the athletic screen favorite presents in “Wild and Woolly” a remarkable display of cowboy accomplishments | depicted in his own inimitable style. i Even the many admirers of Douglas Fairbanks who are familiar with his dare-devil stunts will gasp at his new thrillers disclosed in “Wjld and ‘Woolly,” his newest Artcraft picture at the Lyceum theater. Leaping from a porch of a house on to a moving train that is averaging forty miles an hour is but one of the many thrills performed by the athletic star in his latest film. An- other startling scene is presented in a fight on horseback in which Douglas , proves the victor. This is undoubted- ly one of the most remarkable bits of its kind ever staged and shows the daring actor leaping from one galloping pony to struggle with the { rider of another horse going at break-neck speed. but it has become a self imposed law Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast Fried Apples Hamburg Steak Popovers Coffee Lunch Creamed Dried Beef Stewed Apples Spopge Qake Chocolate Dinner Tapioca Cream Soup Roast Veal Stuffed Potatoes Lima Beans Celery and Walnut Salad Watermelon Coffee Popovers—Mix in a basin one cup- ful flour, two eggs, one cupful milk, and one-quarter teaspoonful salt, then beat together for eight minutes.

The Newest Fall Shoes for Men and Women FRANCIS CARPENTEWGINIA LEE CORBIN The Little Stars of “Jack and the Beanstalk,” at Fox’'s, REAL GIANT AT FOX'S THEATER TODAY Today is the day that ushers in the greatest and most unique achieve- ment that has ever been accom- plished in the motion-picture fleld, for it brings to Fox's theater that won- derful ten-reel Kiddie picture, “Jack and the Beanstalk,” the film that has been the talk of New Britain ever since the first announcement was made regarding it some weeks ago. It will have its first local showings this afternoon and this evening, at which a splendid program of appro- priate selections will be played by the Fox Concert Orchestra. Little need be sald regarding the story of the play. It is undoubtedly the most familiar bit of literature in existence, and at the same time the most beloved. To children through- out the ages it has represented the heights of life’s ambition, to be like the wonderful Jack. And to grown- ups—although there are those who would consider it a weakness to ad- mit it—it is like a fascinating play- mate of childhood’s untroubled hap- piness. Indeed, it has been the com- mon occurrence in every city where thig picture has been shown, to give special performances for grown-ups, so eager have the older people been to meet once more in most realistic form, the dauntless Jack, the beautiful princess, the beneficent fairy god- mother, the terrible giant, the stern king and his court, and all the other famous characters of this entrancing tale, It can be sarely sald that there never has been a theatrical company before that bore the slightest resem- blance to the company that made “Jack and the Beanstalk.” For the most part, the performers are chil- dren, and there are thirteen hundred of them, averaging in the neighbor- hood of five or six years of age. Francis Carpenter, the little boy who | plays the title role, was six years old | last July and his winsome little lead- ing lady, Virginia Lee Corbin, is only five. But the following quotation from the New York American, will show that they are a most extraordin- ary pair: ! Carte morning and “Francis Carpenter and Virginia, Lee Corbin proved to be actual mar- Vels. The house fairly roared its ap- proval when the little princess trag- jcally wrote a warning note for Jack to come and save her, and her facial, expressions conveyed the expected emotions so truthfully that many women in the house actually cried with happin to think that a child could do such wonderful things. And little Mr. Carpenter! His heroics, his defiance, his love-making and all the rest of it were beyond description.” ‘And there are dozens of other laudatory notices that are just as strong in their praises of this little pair. As a special feature of the oc- casion there will be on sale in the lobby during the four days of the en- gagement, unique little books of the play, with illustrations taken from the Fox picture, which will be dis- tributed at a nominal sum to all wish- ing them as souvenirs. Arrangements have been completed with the local school authorities, whereby children who are under 14, and whose par- ents are unable to acompany them, may, with the parents’ permission, come to the theater in the company of a teacher at either of the special Kiddie performances, which will be held at four o'clock Friday afternoom, . and at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
