ULIAN ELTINGE How Madge “Met and Conquercd” Cousin Agatha. That Cousin Agatha was in state characterized by Dicky as “be- ing on the war path,” I saw by my first glimpse of her as she emerged from my mother-in-law’s room. 1 knew that she must be furiously ngry at Katie for the language the girl had used to her, and had wond- ered what course she would pursue. Before she began to speak I saw what her tactics would be. Years of posing had enabled her to control her emotions to a remarkable degree. She meant to preserve her usual martyr air when speaking of Katie to convey the idea that her only motive in coming to me was to do me a kind- ness, to warn me of the viper I was cherishing in my bosom. I won- dered if she had told Mother Graham of her encounter and quickly decided that she hadn’t. ¥ had seen that for some reason Cousin Agatha stood somewhat in awe of her autocratic relative.

I was “too easy.” Even this hanger-on of Dicky’s family, this “Cousin Agatha,” had seen this in her quick survey of me and meant to take advantage of it. “May I speak to you alone, Mrs. Graham?" she said purringly, as she came up to me, and yet there was in her voice a note of authoritative ex- pectance. “You may,” I returned, and I didn’t put any cordiality into the answer. I threw open the door of my room and beckoned her in, closing it after us. “We are moving, as you see” I said, “'so you will have to excuse the appearance of this room. Will you be seated?” ‘No, thank you,” she returned and I saw that she had caught the cool- ness of my tone. “What I have, to KEENEY’S THEATRE ALL THIS WEEK Metro Picture Corporation Presents Wonderful EMILY STEVENS “THE SLACKER” A Wonderplay of Patriotic Fervor SEVEN TREMENDOUS ACTS Afternoons at 3:30 p. m.

I saw that she knew the value of letting an antagon- ist do most of the talking; but as I had the same knowledge I kept my lips firmly closed and she was com- pelled to go on. “A Painful Duty. you will take but a minute or perform, Mrs. Graham,” she said, and I recognized the whine of the pro- fessional philanthropist in her tone. “I have been in your house only half an hour, and yet I have discovered something about your maid which I am sure you don't know. The girl has been deceiving you shamefully. When I taxed her with deceit she turned upon me in the most offensive manner possible and railed at me with terrible language.

It I don’t hurry, you will have to share Mother Graham's room.” Surprise, outraged petty authority, vindictive anger gleamed through her suddenly narrowed lids. Her tones lost their purring smoothness, were harsh, tempery, as she answered me. “Do you realize what you're doing, Mrs. Graham? You are insulting me, your husband’s cousin and guest, when I have only wished to do you a favor. You haven't even asked me what the girl has done.” Madge’s “Last Word.” “And I don't care to ask,” I re- turned steadily. ‘Katie has been in my employ ever since my marriage. She has proved her fidelity to me in numberless ways. Do you really im- agine that I would discharge her, or even reprove her, because of a talc brought to me by a stranger?’ “You allow your servants to call guests in your home “old liars’?” she asked, her tone fairly dripping with malevolent sarcasm. “It is not my usual custom,” I re- turned, “but I can imagine circum- stances where a girl might be justi- filed in applying such an epithet.” THE NARROW TRAIL COMING TO LYCEUM With his own company, under the auspices of Artcraft, the most famous and popular of the present day “western” motion picture actors, Wil- | liam S. Hart, will be seen at the Ly- ceum theater three days commencing November 20. Hart will appear in “The Narrow Trail,” a story dealing with stories told him by an old set- tler when Hart was a small boy liv- ing in Dakota. Given a chance to display the physical prowess and abil- ity to *scrap,” Hart stirs to a bright- er flame, the embers of success al- ready piled up in the numerous strong plays in which he has appeared sinco joining the movie acting throns. “The Narrow Trail,” is absolutely the latest release starring this fa- mous actor, and is his best. The story gives him plenty of chance for strong work, and he puts every bit of his ability into it. Which is say- ing considerable. This picture has Just been released for the large cities and will prove an unusual treat to Ly- ceum patrons. The Lyceum is the only New Brit- ain_theater which will show William 8.

Frederick Warde, the - celebrated ; actor, who is to be seen with Jeanne Eagels in “Under False Colors”’ Sun- day, has had a deeply interesting career. He made his first appearance on the stage at the Lyceum theater, Sunderland, England, on Sept. 4, 1867; ;played in the stock companies of the principal cities of the country for seven years, and then came to America, making his appearance at Booth’s theater, New York, as leading actor of the famous theater. During the first years of Mr. Warde's experi- ence in this country he was associated with and supported nearly all of the distinguished actors and actresses who graced the stage. of that period, including John McCullough, as well as Charlotte Cushman, Adelaide Neilson, Mme. Janauschek and others. To enumerate his successful roles would be ta quote the entire range of the tragic field but perhaps his greatest successes were won in the characters of King Lear, Macbeth, Iago and Marc Anthony in Shakespeare. Pathe Weekly showing all the cur- rent events of the world and several comedies of great merit will conclude the bill. A savory soup can be made of diced potatoes, tomatoes and onions, boiled together and richly seasoned with butter, pepper and salt. Beef drippings may be used instead of the butter. When stitching chiffon or any such material on the machine, use the finest possible thread and put a strip of thin paper under the goods and stitch them together, then tear away the paper when the work is done.

HART AT FOX'S THEATER “Willilam S. Hart—that’s the name. I pack a six-gun on each hip and I'd rather throw lead than bouquets—so deal 'em from the top of the deck, and deal 'em straight!” But they didn't seem to think he meant it, so they pulled out a cold deck on him, and every man got the kind of a hand he wanted, excepting the tall, silent, rangy looking feliow with the plug hat. They made their bets, and they bet high. and higher than the rest, and they laughed to themselves at the disap- pointment that the stranger was about to experience, and the surprise that would be his. There was disappoint- He bet, too, | s COLD DECK,'* ment, sure enough, and surprise aplenty, but it was all on the other side, as they found out by looking down the tubes of blue steel that sGddenly confronted them. It was a great situation, for the game meant more than money to all of them. But it is only one of a dozen delightfully thrilling incldents in “The Cold Deck,” which is Willijam 8. Hart's lat- est, biggest and best film success, and which opens at Fox’s theater tomwor- row night for a three day run. Con- sistent with the established Fox pol- jcy of presenting only the best pro- ductions of the bigger stars, “The Cold Deck” has been selected as being a truly representative Hart picture, and | ag such, worthy to be shown on the Fox screen. A number of other high- ly entertaining but shorter subjects wil] be shown in conjunction with this i feature. SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON The Worn That Doesn’t Turn People are often most unreason- ably impatient with physical’ deaf- ness. But even the most unreason- able person, if he stopped to think, could rot maintain that the deaf per- son was to blame for his deafness. Now there is also a deafness of the mind. Some people, especially old folks, are to use an old term, *‘a lit- tle hard of hearing” in their brains. And there are many people who really blame their housemates for this sort of deafness, For instance I know a man whose i wife, while one of the sweetest women in the world and very far from stupid, is not “quick in the uptake.” She cannot get things quickly. He has lived with her thirty years and should be used tg that fact by now and if he loves her'(and he would certainly be ready to hit anyone who said he didn’t) should have accommodated himself to it. T Don’'t Sec How She Stands It. Instead, when she doesn’t under- stand anything, sometimes he gets in- dignant and flies out irritably at her. Again he laughs at her that derisive laugh that makes the blood come to my face just to hear it. How she can stand it I don’t see. I'm sure I should have told him long ago that if he laughed at me that way again, I'd leave him. Old people are very often treated this way by sons and daughters who think they love their parents. Of course there are cases of geniuses Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast.

HART FOX’S “CcOLD DECK” Pour into a well buttered bak- whose minds remain clear and quick to their deaths, but with the aver- age person the undertanding slows up just as the body does. The old not moving as swiftly as you do. And it Is just as brutal to blame them for one as the other. Nobody Wants to Misunderstand. Nobody wants not to understand. Anyone would understand if he could. Especially when he knew the danger of being pounced upon if he didn’t. Ag a matter of fact I think that very fear makes people slower and more llable to mistakes. They are so nervous and apprehensive that they are more likely to make mis- takes. s The old person’s habit of forget- ting is another thing about which many young people are cruelly un- reasonable. “Why mother don't you know I told you, etc., etc., or “Father how can you be so queer, you know it's so and so” they say with quick irritability. The Mecker They Aro the More They Get Scolded. It's not fun to be old and it's not fun to be slow of comprehension. And the meeker and more patient the old folks are under reproof the more the young folks use them for an {irritability vent. Meekness certainly is a beautiful virtue but sometimes I think the worm that turned did more good in the world than if he had let himself be trampled on to the end. HOUSEHOLD NOTES For cleaning carpets and rugs, wet newspaper torn in Httle bits is good. The water should have a little am- monia in it. If all the children’s stockings are the same welght, price and brand, there will not be the difficulty of matching pairs. It is better to use kitchen salt for seasoning. Table salt has more or less starch mixed with it to prevent its becoming moist, Young chickens are delicious if wrapped in buttered, glazed paper and cooked in the oven for twenty minutes or a half hour. ‘When coal becomes bright red clear through it has parted with most of its heat, therefore it is foolish to keep the draught on the stove after the top is sufficlently hot to fry or boil. Bread pudding flavored with lemon peel and made rich with raisins is a very different thing from the usual article. Small holders are handy for lift- ing pots and pans, but large coarse towels are better when lifting things xfrom the oven. folks can’'t help not getting things; quickly any more than they can help MORALITY PLAY ON FOX SCREEN TODAY “One Law For Both,” the great eight reel production that is now be- ing shown at Fox's, is without doubt the biggest piece of moral propa- ganda that has ever been presented to the public in any form. It deals in a blunt and stirring way with the three most important issues of every day life, morality, economics and pol- itics, holding up throughout the fundamental doctrine of humanity, that' man and woman, prince and peasant, king and serf, are all pos- sessed of equal rights. Primarily It is a fervent plea for tho equality of the sexes, 2 demand that the morals of a man be measured by the same standard as those of a woman. The story concerns the life of a young Russian girl who is active in the revolutionary ecircle. Through the machinations of her own fiance, who is in reality a government spy, the band to which she belongs is betrayed and arrested. To save her comrade, and more particularly her brother, from the punishment of death, she gives herself to the governor of the province, who hag long coveted her. This scene is presented with a dra- matic power that is rarely seen on the screen. Time gradually washes away the degradation of the act, and she comes to America where she en- gages in the translating of books. Keeping the secret of her past locked within her heart, she marries. Sud- denly in a most extraordinary man- ner, her secret is revealed, and she is forced to make a fuil confession of her past to her husband, and is im- mediately repudiated by him. The ages old belief in two distinct stand- ards of morality is shown with star- tling vividness, and all arguments fail for a time to move him. In a scene of great intensity, however, he is brought to realize his mistake. Thero are many exciting views of incidents that actually led up to the recent Rus- sian revolution, and the first part of i the picture in particular gives a splendid example of the high ideals of the rebel party. “The Fatal Ring,” the most popular serial that has ever been made, is fast drawing to an end, and in the present chapter one or two new characters are introduced who are going to have a big part in solv- ing the puzzle. Pearl White engages in a great free-for-all fight in today’s episode, that finally wins—temporarily —the Violet Diamond of Daroon. The World's Series, & funny Mutt and Jeft comedy, in which Jeff discovers a marvelous oil well, and the Pathe News are among the other items of an altogether superior program.
