REVELATIONS Why Madge Felt That for Once She Hadn't Been ‘“Too Easy.” I can imagine that a disinterested observer would have obtained a great | deal of amusement from the interview | Cousin Agatha and I were having be- hind the closed doors of my room. A stranger to me, although a cousin of my mother-in-law’s, she had sought me out within half an hour of her un- expected arrival at our home to pour | complaints of Katie’s behavior into | my ears. Fortunately I had heard Katie's side of the story first. My : faithful little maid had come to me in a paroxysm of tears and sobs on account of the unpardonable behavior of the woman. Because of her long tenure of a position which gave her unlimited authority over certain girls, Cousin Agatha evidently felt it her duty and privilege to tax Katie with her condition, under the belief that she was unmarried. Katie had called | her “vun old Mar,” had flown to me, | and was now preparing dinner be- i hind the locked doors of the kitchen, | while I faced the wrath of Cousin Agatha. That wrath was rising now and threatened to wreck its possessor's professional calm of manner. Goaded by my inner conviction that everyone around me, including my husband, thought me “too easy,” as Katie ex- pressed it, and treated me with a careless disregard of my feelings which they wouldn’t have dared to employ toward a woman of sterner fibre. 1 had met Cousin Agatha’s strictures upon Katie with a manner that I knew was unpardonably insolent, a manner I had never dreamed I could ever employ to any one. Madge Plays Trumps. “You're unpardonably insulting!" Cousin Agatha gasped, after my last retort to her. I saw with hidden sav- age delight that the veneer was strip- ped from her. She was so angry she could mask her feeling no longer. “Perhaps you will feel differently about this when you Rnow that your precious maid, whom you are defend- ing so stoutly, has been decelving you."” Her voice was a ‘venomous snarl. She evidently thought that her in- formation would completely crush me. I couldn’t help giving her the benefit of a cool, tantalizing .smille before I answered. B “Since when has it been a crime for a married woman to have a child?” I asked cooly. Cousin Agatha looked at me with such absolute chagrined amazement | that I hard hard work to keep from laughing. In her anxiety to make mischief she had lost all sense of proportion and perspective and the possibility of Katie’s being married had never dawned upon her. It isn’t 5 pleasant thing to realize that you have just made an absolute idiot of yourself, and Cousin Agatha evi- dently found the pill a bitter one to swallow. But she made an attempt to stand her ground. A Vigorous Ultimatum. OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON been to you with her side of the story. She's a quick one, I'll admit. But when you have been as long in the business of taking care of those animals as I have, youwll know bet. ter than to trust their stories.” After the vulgarity and cruelty of that speech I had no further com- punction about dealing with Cousin Agatha as I ached to do. I caught her eyes and held them with the cool, scornful look I used sometimes to employ effectively with her type of embryo woman in my school days. “It may interest you to know that I prepared Katie's wedding dress with from our home, that her husband is our man of all work,” I said icily. “Tt may also interest you to know that I don't care to have you as a suest in my home. You may stay until it is convenient for you to go somewheroe clse, but no longer. And you are at perfect liberty to tell my mother-in- law or my husband what I have sald. “However, if you choose to Kkeep silent I will not say anything to them about it. You may, if you wish, make any other excuse for not remaining. But remember it is only consideration for you that leads me to offer you if you wish. And now I must beg you to excuse me.” Without a word she scurried from the room and I, sinking into a chatr, burst into hysterical tears. For once I hadn't been “too easy,” but I was horribly afraid that I had been a much worse thing. FADS AND FASHIONS A black velvet hat may be Tibbon. The latest form of the chemise frock is belted closely at the walst. Flaring cuffs finish the bottoms of some of the tight-fitting sleeves. Fur-trimmed coats are in high fa- vor because of the one-plece dresses. Terra cotta and tete de negre form a good hat combination of colors. The new kilted skirts are fine for girls, and go charmingly with velvet coats. Party bags are made like knitting bags, but of some dainty color and gold lace. Some new dresses are so long that they do not show the curve of the instep. Wreaths of golden leaves or flowers are lovely worn with an all-white bridal costume, A black satin foundation with over blouse and tunic of white serge makes “Oh, I see!” she said. “The girl has a striking dress. || [ SIDE_TALKS BY RUTH OCAMERON i Is There Any Some questions ‘®f justice came up the other day in which the Author- man, instead of taking advantage of certain circumstances as he well might have, almost leaned backwards in square.

Mr, Fltinge, who Is as much at home onucting the role of a beau- tiful woman as he is sitting in his own | comfortable apartment smoking his | favorite pipo makes his debut In plc- tures in this production, and reports from the Strand theater, New York, | and large playhouses in other theatri- | cal centers brand it ay the hit of the year. . Jullan Eltinge 18 a world-wide known character. Hver since the | time he was drafted from amateur theatricals because of his ability as! a female impersonator into legltimato stage productions, he has been rising rapldly in the profession. One of ! New York's most famous theaters is named after him, and European cen- ters remember him with kind thoughts of the past, when he went to Eng- land and earned a place high in the | estimation of the public over across. It took great cajoling and arguing be- fore the famous star was won over to the silent drama; but he has finally arrived, and with both feet. Eltinge is a man's man, regardless of the roles he plays. On the stage or in the studio he may be a beauti- ful “woman,” but in private life is a man all the way through. He may boast, and he does with facts to back it up, that he is the owner of the most beautiful wardrobe in existence, if a wardrobe can be sald to exist. Wom- en who are used to beautiful gowns throng theaters where Eltinge ap- pears, just to gaze at the wonderful creations he wears. In “The Countess | Charming,” in the role of ‘“‘Countess Raffelski,” he wears some beautiful gowns, and he certainly knows how to wear them. . The story itself deals with the ad- vantages of a young man ostracized from the smart set who gets back again into the inner circles by dress- ing as a Russian countess. Soclety falls hard and he has plenty of fun “kidding” the people who formerly scorned him. Incidentally, as the ‘“‘countess’” he “fixes it up’ for himself with the girl he is trying to win. The production is replete with startling scenes, and the climax is a hummer. Dustin Farnum, celebrated as one of the best known actors now in the business is an added attraction in the old stage success, ‘‘Cameo Kirby."” Farnum is given plenty of range for his great versatility. The Lyceum ‘Weekly, showing all the latest events happening throughout the universe, is also on the program WILLIAM H. HART PACKS FOX'S HOUSE Well, the big Hart picture, “The Cold Deck” is sure same picture! And the huge crowd that jammed every available nook and cranny of Fox's theater last night were simply carried | away with it. Brimful of thrills and exciting incidents, it is one of those real, typical western tales that Jjust { holds one on the edge of the seat | from beginning to end, and then leaves one wishing it was going to start all aover again. It has been cal- led a truly representative Hart sub- Jject, and it is all of that, for it shows the good bad man at the best of his worstness and that's going some. There is more action, real, living stuff, than is ordinarily put into three such films, and it is staged in such a way as to lend it a convincing realism that is seldom found in a wark of the kind. The story has to do with the adventures of one of those devil- may-care type of fellows that no min- ing town should be without, if it ex- pects to go down in fiction. Because he spurns the ‘“lov: of a dark-eyed senorita of the dance hall, she makes' it her business to see that he loses every nickel he ever hoped to own. Driven by despair, he takes up the entertaining little pastime of holding up stage-coaches, and for an amateur, he does quite remarkably well at it. One morning, however, the little town | buzzes with the news that the driver i of the last stage had been found shot on the road. Hart is immediately suspected, and as the evidence all | points directly at him, it looks lke | a hemp necklace for Willlam. But somebody gives.him a tip. And that's! quite enough #o start things. Quite a number of avents happen then, and | with & good deal of rapidity, some of | them .intensely exciting, and others | hilariously ~funny. But eventually Mr. Hart gets his man, and in the approved cow-puncher fashion, bring- ing him a few miles at the end of a lariat, as an aid to digestion. “The Cold Deck” will be shown again to- day and tomorrow; together with ather select features, including ‘“The Fighting Trail” and a funny Drew comedy.
