REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON ‘Why Madge Wanly Smiled at Dicky’s Questioning, Dicky’s voice came over the wire sharply. He was evidently agitated over something, and I gathered from his manner that he wished any one | rather than I had answered the tele- phone. BOUDOIR CAP MADE OF VENETIAN LACE l | I “Where's Jim ?"* he demanded, with- | out waliting to ask how things were progressing with us. “I must speak to-him directly.” “Jim is over at the other house with a load of furniture,” I returned composedly. *He'll be back here shortly for the last load of kitchen things, but he wlll hardly have time to call you up, for it's getting near Dicky evidently knew to what I r ferred, the ultimatum of our dis- . agreeable landlord, Mr. Brennan, that the last one of our possessions must be out of his gate by the stroke of noon. He knew, also, that it was his own cavalier treatment of M Brennan that had infuriated the man, but the knowledge didn’'t make his volce or manner any less acrid as he answered: “Well, it's up to you to be out of that's all. Where's that othéy idiot, that William Trum- bull?"” — h “Right here.” My own volce was none too sweet. His manner irritated me, and I had still before my eyes the photograph of Grace Draper which I had just discovered in the box Willlam Trumbull had found pushed back behind the rafters in the attie. “Tell him to come to the then. He'll have to do.” How William Answered. A sudden light broke upon me. Heedless Dicky had just remembeged the box with its contents of lettgrs, photographs and mementos of Gface Draper and other feminine - friends, which he had put behind the rafters for safe keeping. It was a box he did not wish me to see, and it was out of the question for him to leave it to the casual inquisitiveness of the: Brennan family. And if it were not‘ be- | fore noon he wowdn't be able to get | it. Dicky was in a dllemma perplex- | ing indeed. With a sudden malicious | little impulse I spoke sweetly over the | ‘phone: I ‘“Couldn’t I attend to anything vou! want done, Dicky? You know how erratic our Caliban is.” I knew Willilam wouldn't under-| stand my allusion, so felt safe, in' Dicky’s voice was embar- rassed as he answered: “No, it's something you wouldn’t understand., Only a man could do it. Let me have William, please, and will | ‘phone | ! | | vou ask Katle whether she got my shirts from the laundry?” It was upon my lips to say: “Yes, I | understand only too well, but ¥, smothered it, sent William' to the tele- ! phone, and started in search of Ka- | tie, although I knew the message was only a subterfuge to get me away from the telephone. As I went I'! heard William’s voice in earnest re- ! assurance: “Oh, yes, T got that box. T hunted all over behind everything to see nothin’ was left behind. No, sir, T don’t think nobody teched it. It's | right here, an I'm going to put it on the push cart the fust thinz. Al right, I'll put it away where nobody'll disturb it. It'll be safe with me, Mr. Gramie.’ Evidently Dicky's relief at finding the box had been undisturbed was so sreat he forgot all about the message he had given me. At any rate, when T returned from the kitchen, where | Katie was busily doing the ‘“last! things,” I found the receiver replaced | on the hook, and Willlam standing beside it like a sentinel. “I know now what was in that box I found behind the rafters, Mis' Gramie,” he said proudly. Mr. Gramie, he said, he had some draw ings in it he wouldn’t lose for any thing. Gee, I'm glad I found it for him.” I smiled wanly at the old fellow pride, and then bitterly at Dick | sudden longing for Lillian's counsel, | {home I would | noon, and I have no desire to bc herc | at that time, you know.” i | pertaining to business dealing | | | I to one ! women « BehRSnt SIDE TALKS !

Well, so far as I was con- cerned, “drawings” they should be. I centainly never should let Dicky know that T had opened the box and had found among other things the recent photograph of Grace Draper, which' showed he must have heard from her within a very short time. But the presence of the girl's phetograph among my husband’'s be- longings made me certain that' the premonition I had 'had of coming troublo was no idle one.

To retaliate against a perfectly just | measure such as the mechant’s ask ing for the two dollars or the den- tists sending a Dill collector, by withdrawing one's trade, is -down- right mean and unfair. Honor Ought to Keep You From Using Your Power. To be sure, you have the power but honor ought to withhold you from using”it. A good sportsman would say, got what I richly deserved.” . Suppose the people who paid your lary paid you that way, where would you be? And these people have bills to pay just as you have. Letting bills run like that unless you are hard pushed (and even then you could surely .plan to pay a cer- on them week by | week) or unless there is some ques- | tion of adjustment that you are not satisfied witl, is an unsportsmanlike thing to do and kicking when youri creditors kick is still more so. | oy FARNUM HEADLINER AT FOX'S THEATER An all around' good show—that's the brand that opens at Fox's this aft- ernpon for two days. Heading the bill is that ever-popular young roman- lic star, Dustin Farnum, in his latest hit, “The Scarlet Pimpernel” It is an altogether delightful picture, and | scenically it is the best seen here for some time. The story has to do with | the reign of terror that swept France at the end of the eighteenth century. In England are a band of notables ! headed by the Scarlet Pimpernel (so- called from a little wayside flower that he uses as an emblem). This band is engaged in rescuing aristo- BILLIE BURKE AT THE LYCEUM NEXT The most timely subject ever fllmed, with one of filmdom’'s most populatr and able stars, is “‘Arms and the Girl”, featuring Bille Burke, headliner at the Lyceum theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. Condi- tions in KEurope at the outbreak of hostilities ba¢k in 1914 form the theme of the wonderful story, and the experiences of Ruth Sherwaod, an American girl caught in Belgium when the Germans arrived, typical of the time, are brought out to make a stirring and highly dramatic tale. Arms and the Girl” is a big story, with a great punch, one that will give crats condemned to death by the revo- | lutionists of France. So successful is this band that the Republicans send over agents to discover the identity of Scarlet Pimperncl, and thoe lcader of these agents, Chevaulin, who hrother-in-law of Sir Tercy Blakeney, | forces the latter's wife to help him, After she h nformed Chevaulin that | Scarlet Pimpernel is on his way | to France she discovers that the man | she has betraved is none other than her own husband, who, because of her activities in behalf of the Repub- licans, had become cold toward her. She rushes to his ald and helps him thwart Chevaulin and his followers | and all escape in the nick of time on The Scarlet Pimpernel’s vacht. Action, mystery, intrigue, adventure and romance are thick all through the picture, and the quaint costumes of the period afford a peculiarly roman- tic atmosphere. Among the other features of the program will be the Seven Pearls, the Red Ace, and the latest issue of the Pathe News Weekl You Run No Risk Somo women have refused to sign the U, S.

In addition to their popularity as co- stars both have proven themselves artists of ability as stars in separate productions. The story of “What Money Can’'t Buy,” has to do with the adventures of Dick Hale; his fath- er, a wealthy financier; Princess Irenia of Maritzia, and the unscrup- ulous financier who has her father, the King, in his power. How affairs are finally straightened out by a brilliant ruse, will have to be seen to be appreciated. The cast supporting Jack Pickford and Louise Hulf might well be termed “all-star”, for in aadi- tion to the noted actor Theodore Rob- erts, others in the cast are Hcbart Bosworth, well known as a star both on the stage and screen; Raymonc Hatton, the character actor who re- cently scored a pronounced success the Dauphine in support of Geral- dine Farrar in ‘“‘Joan the Woman"; James Neill and others. Charlie Chaplin, in his latest com- edy, “The Adventurer,” continues to keep the audience in roars and con- stant laughter for thirty minutes with his funny stunts.
