I made a sudden swift decision as I | heard my mother-in-law wonder what I could have said to her cousin tu make her weep so tempestuously. 1! couldn’t tell her that I had orderea: her kinswoman to leave my house be- cause of her outrageously cruel quiz- zing of my little maid. I had told Cousin Agatha that she need not re- | veal the real reason for her going | if she didn’t wish to do so. And if she had not spoken of it, my lips were sealed. But there was something I| could tell her, a message I could send to her cousin. “Your cousin made me exceedingly angry, mother,” I began nervously, | “and I fear I sald something very rude, very- eruel to her. She probably is in no mood to see me or I would apologize to her, but won’'t you ask her for me to consider our conversa- tion as having never taken place? I shall never refer to it again, and I trust she will not.” GARRISON to that idiot of a Katie, and so of course you lost your head completely. You ought to get rid of that girl, Mar- garet. Of ,course it's very kind and sweet of you to allow her to stay, but she will be less and less help to you for months to come, and then just see what you will have on hand.” “She’s a Poor Stick.” “Then you know——" I said in amazement. “That Katie is going to have a baby " returned my mother-in-law, tartly. “Why of course!” “But that's neither here nor there,” she.went on briskly. “It's none ot Agatha’s business if Katie has six chil- dren, all twins. And I'll tell her so when she gets over her crying spell.” “Please, mother,” I sald, embold- ened by her champlonship of me to call her by that sacred name, *“don’t say anything cross to her. Just tell her how sorry I am.” “Not much I won’ in-law replied briskly. “You'd have her walking all over you, But I'll glve her your first message, to con- sider your conversation as not hav- my mother- My mother-in-law looked at keenly. “I- can't imagine you getting any the better of it in any row with Aga- tha,” she said, and there was that in her voice which made me realize anew how spineless a creature nry husband and his relatives must con- sider me. “But, then, I suppose shq said something partlcularly atrocious me ing taken place. You must have told her to leave, for nothing less would have made .such an impression on her.” My mother-in-law glanced at me shrewdly, but I didn’t rise to the bait she threw out. “She’s a poor stick, Agatha,” she went on. “Disagreeable and catty and meddlesome from her childhood, and | SIDE TALKS A friend of mine who lives in one | of the suburbs of a large city was not , able to go to the country this sum- mer, as usual. Naturally she missed the change of scene but she is one of those courag- eous, determined-to-be happy people | who do not brood over disappoint- ments, and she immediately set out | to find some substitutes for the lost pleasure. And this is one of those she found. She set out systematically to dig up some of her lost friends. Most of Us Have Several Sets of Friends.

But the average person lives 1in several places, passes through different stages of schooling, and makes some changes in his business associations, and in passing through all these phases makes different sets of friends. And then he loses them—or most of them. Perhaps they move away to some other city, or perhaps they only live across the city in some other suburb, but there is no longer any assoclation“of schooling or business to draw them together, both are busy and they never meet. She Actually Made Out a List. These were the sort of lost friends this woman made up her mind to dig up. Being a systematic person she actually made the list of those she cared the most about seeing again. She took them in order as they ap- peared in her life. These were first two or three school and college friends whom she had lost track of. And then there was a teacher who taught with her in her first school. And then there was an older woman {who had been the presiding genius | persons in the hall. of their courtship (one of those older women who have in some miraculous way, the key to young folks' hearts and who are told more about the secrets of courtship and asked to do chaperone duty more often than the mothers.

Some she invited to her house; some she made appointments to meet; from one she visited. With several who lived in distant places she got in touch by writing them long, newsy letters, and in all but one case received similar answers. “I can’t tell you what a lot of new things it gave me to think about,” she said, “you know each of these stood for some circle of friends I had once known and there were so | many people we talked about and so many good -times to remember. really waked us of good.

Miss Pearson is without doubt one of the most attrac- tive appearing women on the screen today, and in her present vehicle she has reached the pinnacle of achieve- ment. “Thou Shalt Not Steal” is a detective story with a gripping power and the star takes full advantage of the many emotional opportunities af- forded her. She plays the part of Mary Bruce, a typical American girl of fighting blood who has a will of her own, especially in matrimonial mat- ters. Her father, however, virtually agrees to sell his daughter to a wealthy Englishman, who deposits a hundred thousand dollars in Bruce's i safe to seal the bargain. Horrified at { the inevitable consequences of this i trafic, Mary robs the safe at the dead | of night. But as she is stealing back | to her boudoir, she encounters several A hand seizes from her and in the rough and tumble fight that ensues, she bites | the hand that is stealing the money | from her. When the theft is discov- ered in the morning, there are three people under suspicion, Mary, her father, and her would-be lover. The solution of the mystery comes from a most unexpected quarter. Dr. Steele, a detective, has been working on a | murder for some time before he ac- | cuses the Englishman, and he finally stlences all protestations of innocence most effectively by producing the dag- ger which killed the man and another identical blade taken from the Eng- lishman. Mary puts the finishing touches on the case by pointing out the marks of her teeth on the cul- | prit's wrist. It will be somewhat of a i novelty to those who have been ac- customed to seeing Virginia Pearson playing nothing but quiet socety roles, to see her now working in a real, old- i the money other excellent pictures on the same program.will be ‘“‘Amid the Clouds”, which is the expressive title of the fourth chapter of that thrilling serial “The Seven Pearls”, in which Mollie King and Creighton Hale appear. The ilast episode left Ilma several thou- sand feet up in the air, tied off to the i anchor rope of a run-away balloon, | with the assurance that the rope is going to break before many minutes. +In the present chapter there is an { abundance of thrills, as all kinds of air-craft are pressed into service to save her, and the rescue itself is ono | of the most daring stunts ever pulled off before the camera. The fifth chapter of the “Red Ace” and the Pathe News will also be shown. | but because I couldn’t keep out ! § of my mind the ungracious reflection ! mother could not be so munificent In | She would defend me | She had never suggested ! was doing. | fashioned detective story. Among the | JULIA‘N ELTINGE IS A “PERFECT LADY” One of the many female patrons of the Lyceum theater has perfectly ex- pressed the feeling of the great public | towards the debut of Julian Eltinge, | the most famous impersonator in the } world, into motion pictures. “I have {been waiting and waiting just to see | when Jullan Eltinge would come to the city in pictures, anq I am certain- ly going to see him,” was her manner of expression. It would appear as | though practically everybody in the | city had the same feeling, to judge by | {the capacity audiences that saw El- |_¢mse in his first moving picture role, | in “The Countess Charmin The | ! famous female impersonator lives up | | to the record he set on the stage when | | he started two continents buzzing With | admiration. The originality of his ; work, the unusual innovations he in- troduces in his art, and his ability to live the part he acts are brought out strongly in his first picture even more | vividly than on the stage, and the pro- ducers are justified in advertising the feature as the picture hit of the year. {“The Countess Charming” will have | its finale this evening at the Lyceum. Marguerite Clark’s first super-fea- | ture, “The Amazons”, comes to the | Lyceum tomorrow for a three days' {stay. It is the story of a family of | English girls whose mother, disap- pointed because they were not boys dresses them as if they were really | boys, and brings them up as boys ; should be brought up. The result is | that when the girls grow up, accus- tomed to the clothing of young men, they form ‘some” combination. It | happens that relatives of the *high | ! toned” variety, unaware of the manner | in which they are brought up have , the girls as guests and when they ab- | solutely refuse to be ladies, there are | some funny happenings. | The Lyceum Weekly will be run in | connection with this program and there will be other pictures of a high class nature. The Lyceum has ar- | ranged for exclusive showing of the latest Paramount and Artcraft pic- tures and will bring the best possible to the city. GOOD VAUDEVILLE ON KEENEY'S STAGE | | i i Headlined by Lawler and Daugh- ! ters and with every act a top-notcher, the vaudeville bill at Keeney’s thea- !ter opens with The Four Middletons, a musical act composed of four ! young men who render difficult selec- tions on all kinds of musical instru- ments. Their work was appreciated and they started the audience off in excellent humor. McIntrye and Wynne in a singing and dancing act that is pleasing and clean-cut. They appear in change of costume, sing nicely and dance well. | The man does a grotesque dance with tumbling stunts which takes well. Lawler and Daughters, present what will probably be recorded as one of the best acts of its kind ever seen in these parts. Mr. Lawler is well known to all theatergoers for the last twenty-five vears, having gained fame as the writer and composer of the greatest and most popular song that was sung on the American stage, “The | Sidewalks of New York.” The tune will sound familiar to eur fathers, be- cause once heard, it will never be forgotten. The singing of the young | ladles is excellent and added to their | ability for mimicry is personal charm | that goes a long way towards making each individual in the audience feel ! a personal touch in their work. Baron's Midget Horses, the smallest equines that have ever been seen on any stage, continue to de- light not only all the children but many grown-ups and horselovers ot New Britain.
