Margaret, you haves't heard a word I've said to vou.” My mother-in-law's shrilly reproachtul, the train wheel us cityward. I turned a startled face toward her. Her indictment was true. I had no idea of what she had been saying, or indeed, that she had sald anything at all. Long Island meadows just beginning to show traces of the approach of spring, with no thought of the beauty which at any other time I should have so enjoved, with no thought, indeed, circumstance which had sent journeying to the city in search of Katherine Sonnot, my brother-cousin's fiancee, PWo cheap, grimy envelopes had come through the mail to me within voice, which were bearing the last two days, envelopes bearing | widely differing postmarks, but each containing a single half-sheet of cheap notepaper enfolding a newspaper clipping marked with red ink. One clipping was the account of the exe- cution of a spy is Paris, the other a description of a gruesome Black Hand murder in Chicago. There was no possible clue to the sender of them, and the only Infer- ence I could draw from their coming was that some one was trving to frighten me. I knew of only two per- sons in the world who could possibly wish to do such a thing, and they were Mrs. “Allis, whom I supposed to be confined in a sanatorium for drug ad- dicts, and Grace Draper, of whom I had heard but a few weeks before in South America. Chintzes or Tapestry? Katherine Sonnot, through whose prompt action Mrs. Allis had been placed in the sanatorium, was the only -person who could find out whether the “poisoned pen” clippings were of her sending. But the unexpected presence of my mother-in-law on my little journey threatened to thwart any interview with my brother- cous- in’s little fiancee. “I beg vour pardon, mother,” T said contritely. “My mind must be wandering, for I truly didn’t hear you speak at all. What is it you wish?" “I don’t wish anything,” she replied tartly. “I only remarked that we would go up to Feltman's first and then go around through the other stores. Feltman's always have a great many beautiful designs in chintzes and cretonnes and madras, but they are horribly dear. Hgwever, we can get an idea of what's being done In draperies this year.” My mother-in-law's tone was final. When I had made looking at dra- peries for the house we had bought an excuse for my little excursion into the city she had at once said that she was coming with me, as she| didn’t wish any draperies bought which she did not see. T had fore- seen difficulty in getting away from her and seeing Katherine. But with | the program she had just mapped out | 1 would have no chance to slip away | long enough to telephone.

For the | solution of the problem of getting rid of my mother-in-law had flashed upon me, “I dom’t know but you're mother,” I said meekly. *But I don't know anything about tapestries, and T have several ought to do.

And don’t bother to meet me for tea. Perhaps 1 shan’t be through. T'll get tea when I want it, and go home when I get through, and vou do the same."” FINAL APPEARANCE OF WILLIAM FARNUM Tonight will mark the final appear- ance at Fox's of that big Fox stand- ard eight reel production, “Whefi a Man Sees Red,” the screen adaptation of Larry Evans’ famous Saturday Eve- ning Post story, “The Painted Lady". The star of the picture is none other than William Farnum, the most prom- inent and popular portrayer of the brawny man-to-man type in the busi- ness. As Luther Smith, the powerful, scrappy, sailor of the old school, he has some of the sreatest opportunities’ for the display of his unusual talents that have ever fallen his way in any of the great successes The tale has to do with the vengeance of a red- blooded man upon the human beast who ruined his sister and broke up is excellent, it does not alwayvs accotrd with mine, and I. like any other ‘woman, naturally wanted my own se- The End of Your Corns Pains Stops at Once—Corn Lifts Off Clean. There is nothing in the world like “Gets-It” for corns. Just apply it ac- cording to directions, the pain stops at once and then the corn lifts off as clean as a whistle. No fuss, no both- er, no danger. ‘“Gets-It”, you know, is safe. Millions have used it, more than all other corn remedies com- bined, and it never fails. Dod’t Waste Time “Hollering.” “Gets-It” Never Fails. There 1s no need for you through another day of corn agony. But pe sure you get “Gets-It"". Accept nothing else, for, remember, there is positively nothing else as good. “Gets- It” never irritates the live flesh, never makes the toe sore. You can go about as usual with work or play, while “Gets-It”, the magic, does all the work. Then the corn peels right off like a banana skin and leaves the toe as smooth and corn- free as vour palm. Never happened before, did it? Guess not. Get a bottle of “Gets-It"” today from any drug store, you need pay no more than 25c, or sent on receipt of price by E. Lawrence & Co., Chicago, IlL.

On the same program are the “Fighting Trail”, a funny Sidney Drew comedy, and the Ford Weekly. Another onc of those great big double feature fifteen reel shows will open at Fox's tomorrow and remain for two days. The two features will be “The Painted Madonna,” in which that new Fox find, Sonia Markova, a young talented Russian actress with a revolutionary past will be featured, and “The Disciple”, the strongest and “punchiest” picture that William S. Hart ever made. Two serials will be shown, the “Seven Pearls,”” and “The Red Ace”, together with the Pathe There will be no increase in prices. i Menu for Tomorrow \ Breakfast Fruit Corn Griddle Cakes Maple Syrup Coffee Lunch Iiked Potatoes Cold Slaw Dinner Celery Soup Baked Fish Mashed Potatoes Escailoped Tomatoes Ravensworth Pudding Coffee Corn Meal Gems—Sift together one cupful corn meal, twa cupsful flour, three heaping teaspoonsful baking powder, one-half teaspoonful salt and two tablespoonsful sugar.

The first of the “Sub-Deb” pictures, the stories of which became extreme- 1y popular in “The Saturday Evening Post,” came to the Lyceum yesterday under the title, “"Bab's Diary,” with | Marguerite Clark playing the leading | role. For the edification of the pub- lic, let it be explained that a ‘‘sub- deb” is a girl who is too young to enter society, and is therefore not allowed to partake of the joys thus experienced. Miss Clark as Barbara Archibold, known by her friends as Bab, is such a young woman, while her sister, Leila, is twenty months older. Bab does not relish being placed entirely in the background while her older ter enjoys the limelight, and decides to give the folks a scare by framing up a romance all her own. She combines the name of a malted milk with another name that hap- pened to enter her mind, and then, signing the combination to endless letters, gushy lines of poetry and bouquets, she bombards herself, while her family looks on in alarm. Then enters the Nemesis in the form of Walter Brooks an acquaintance, who brings to the Archibold home, a young man with the name chosen by Bab for her imaginary lover—Harold Valen- tine. From that time on there is nothing but whirlwind action with Bab in the center of things. The story is a scream. On the same program today and tomorrow will be Edgar Selwyn in “The Arab” and other good pic- tures. A big story with a blg man comes to the Lyceum for an exclusive show ing Thursday, Friday and Saturda of this week, when Willlam S, (Big Bill) Hart appears for the first time in New Britain In hig latest story, “The Narrow Trail.” From the pen of Hart himself comes this story, a stpong., blood-warming, thrilling pic- ture, filled with sensational moments and teeming with scenes such as vers few pictures have ever boasted. Hart is always worth watching, even in his tamest picture, but when given a role such as he plays this time, something good may be expected. Hart is perfectly at home as ‘‘Ice Harding,” a man with a heart as cold his name would imply. Western all the way through, and only partly tamed, this big fellow does not know what sentiment means until he comes | face to face with ohe of the victims of ' his hold-ups. Then love enters his life. She was not the fair lily he | thought her, although a good girl at heart, and before he realizes what she is, he suffers severe setbacks that | would test the affections of even the most ardent lover. FANNIE WARD AT KEENEY'S THEATER In one of the most unique and thrilling photodramas in which she has ever appeared since the famous production of “The Cheat,” Fannie Ward will be seen at Keeney's the- ater on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day in the Lasky-Paramount pro- duction of “The Crystal Gazer,” a picturization by Marian Fairfax of Eve Unsell and Edna Filey's grip- ping story.

This would be a most trying| and confusing task for the average | artiste, but Miss Ward with her won- | derful knowledge of dramatic art, her usual cleverness, gives each a distinct and separate characterization which leaves no contusion in the minds of the audience. In her production “The School forl Husbands,” Miss Ward showed her versatility as a comedienne and still more recently in “Unconquered,” and “Her Strange Wedding,” proved that she is still the wonderful On Monday and Tuesday, the second episode of the great Paramount Se- ! rial “Who is Number One?” by Anna| atherine Green, greatest of all writ-! ers of tales of baffling intrigue, will: be shown to all followers of this splendid continued photo-play featur- ing Kathleen Clifford, the pluckiest girl in motion pictures. We all like thrills. We are all held breathless by spine-tingling mystery. That is why “Who is Number One?” is a smashing success and that is why milllons are telling their friends that this is a pic- ture they have got to see. ! Keeney Weekly, other features and several comedies, and three high class vaudeville acts conclude the program. | BigRedPimples Disfiqured Face. Large and Fierce-looking.

What are you going to do about Christmas this year? Are you going to have just the same kind of a Christ- mas as usual, the same carnival of cookery and holiday of self indul- gence, the same exchange of luxur- ics behind a camouflage of generosity, the same talk of good will when one is in a state of irritability brought on by tearing oneself to bits to get this or that last thing done? “This Is the Year Of My Escape.” Or are you going to say, “I have gone on with this business of ex- changing, this extravagance in the face of poverty and suffering, long enough. This i{s the year of my es- cape. T have a reason this year so powerful that it will help me to break the iron bands of habit and conven- tionality and make a new kind of Christmas that, please God, I shall cling to the rest of my life. Our Smug Complacent Convention- Made Christmas. “This is the year when no one can possibly resent a change. This year when we hear of foreign peoples starving by the thousands, of bables pindling away because there is no milk, of soldiers lacking warm clothes, of infinite suffering because of the high cost of living here at home. To g0 on with our smug, complacent, con= vention-made holidays would be to* take the Christ out of Christmas, “I will no longer insult him by cel- ebrating a holiday called by his name and absolutely at variance with his spirit. “I Will Be the One.” “I will be the one among my oir- cle of friends and acquaintances to make the break and to ask that we do it differently this year. Not that We upset the business of the country * by ceasing to buy, but that we buy for those who need instead of those who have.” Is that what you are saying? I hope so. I think we should do one of two things. Either change the mame of Christmas, call it Present Day, or by the name of some pagan God of gifts, or make it something that Christ, if he came back to earth, would not spurn and disown as he did the den of thieves which had once been his Fath- er's temple.
