Free to find Katherine and take one step at least in solving the mystery of the newspaper clippings which had been sent to me in so sinister a manner! My spirits rose with the thought as I parted from my mother-in-law at Feltman's, where she meant to start her hunt for draperies for our home. It was worth even the sacrifice I had made, the giving over into my moth- er-in-law’s hands the entire question of draperies and upholsteries for my new home, with no taste of my own considered. Happy in this mission Why she had been glad to dispense with my company, even volunteering to get her tea and go home by herself. I hurried to the nearest telephone booth and called the boarding house where Katherine was staying, and where she always left her telephone address if she were out. She wasn't there. In fact, I did not expect to find her there at that hour of the day;=but I secured the phone number of the place where she was that day— her work for Dr. Braithwaite, head of one of the biggest hospital units In France, called her into many widely differing places—and in a few rhin- utes more heard her familiar voice over the wire. “Madge! Oh; my dear, glad to hear your voice. you “On Fifth avenue, near Feltman's. Katherine, I must see you just as soon as I possibly can. An emergency has arisen about which I must tell you. How soon can you get away? It's most important or I wouldnt ask you to leave your work.” “I can leave here in flve minutes,” Katherine returned, without any of the assurances and protests of unlim- ited time at my disposal with which the average woman would have wast- ed minutes. “Where shall I meet you?" Is Katherine Unhappy? “How about the Library? It is very near me, and it is'nt far from the building where vou are, is it? Then we can decide where we want to £o." “The Library—main entrance—in- side of five minutes,” Katherine an- swered inclstvely, “Good-by.” ‘When I met her; inside the entrance to the wonderful library building which is the pride of New York, I was shocked at Katherine's appear- I am so ‘Where are e e A et N N A OF A WIFE GARRISOY the first opportunity to try to set things right. But I knew that Kath- erine was waiting to find out how she could best help me in my trouble, and 1 hastened to tell her the story of the mysterious newspaper clippings which had been sent me, and to show them and the envelopes which had con- tained them to her. I had hrought them all with me in my handbag. What Katherine Thought. Y1 took the liberty of ordering my personal mail forwarded in care of vour address for a few days, Kath- erine,’ I said, as I handed the en- velopes and the clippings to her. “1 wag afraid some meddlesome person might open them.” “That was right” she returned heartily, and then turned her atten- tion to the clippings, reading them carefully, and studving the address on the envelopes. “Some child wrote these address- es,”” she said decidedly, “‘but, of course addict like Mrs. Allis would perpetu- ate. But I'm sure she is still at the sanatorium. However, we can find out by long-distance telephone.” FIFTEEN REELS AT FOX SHOW TOMORROW Patrons of Fox’'s theater will re- ceive the best in the city today and tomorrow when a double-feature bill, a show constituting 15 reels, will be shown at this popular playhouse. One of the features will be “The Painted Madonna,” which will introduce to New Britain apdiences for the first time Willam Fox's latest discovery, Sonia Markova. Then there will be that ever popular and virile star of the screen, William S. Hart it “The Disciple,” universally considered to be the greatest Western drama he has ever made. To augment these strong attractions will be two new episodes of the serials now showing at Fox's. ““The Warning on the Wire,” is the title of the new episode of “The Seven Pear] nd there is also an install- ment of “The Red Ace” with Marie Walcamp in a series of thrilling ad- ventures. Altogether it is one of the biggest and best bills ever offered 'at Fox's. Sonia Markova is ® new star of the screen firmament and “The Painte ed Madonna’ offers her a splendid op- ance. The pretty bloom which had made her cheeks flower-like was re- placed by a pallor that frightened me, her face was thinner than I had ever seen. it, positively wan, and in her brown eyes, which Jpoked bigger than ever, there was a look that I was sure ‘was one of repressed anguish. “Why, Katherine!” I stepped back after I had kissed her and looked at her sharply. “Whatever is the mat. ter I've been working pretty’ hard,” she said shortly. “But never mind me now. “We'll talk about that later. Tell me what's troubling you.” “Not right here,” I sald. “Let us go a little way down the corridor ‘where it is more secluded.” We needed to go but a few feet to get out of the way of the people com- ing through the entrance, and there ‘Wwas no one else to disturb us, But in those few minutes, I had time to re- proach myself for my neglect of Katherine. T had known of the misery my brother-cousin, Jack RBickett, was causing her by his jealousy of her emplover, Dr. Braithwaite, Dicky's brother-in-law, and a _distinguished surgeon, who had gone to France early in the war. I had resolved to see Jack and to read him the lecture he deserved. But he had been called out of the city a day or two after Katherine had opened her heart to me at my home, and T had kept post- poning my interview with him after I knew that he had returned. 1 was sure that his attitude was the cause of Katherine’'s evident un- happlness, and I resolved to selze LYCEUM DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAM MARGUERITE CLARK IN BAB’S DIARY EDGAR SELWIN IN “THE ARAB” The Favorite NCKELIBATE Route TO THE WEST LOWEST FARES TO ERIE, CLEVELAND, FORT WAYNE and CHICAGO, with direct connections for all Western and Pacific Coast Points.

CEUMY i What would you do if you knew a ! girl and got to love her more than anyone else you knew, and you faund that she wazs nothing more than a frequenter of a notorious, vile-charac- ! tered resort where men and women of the basest quality made their head- quarters? Would vou be satisfieq that she could he the one in contrast ta the ninety and nine, or would you turn from her as though she were so | much poison? It takes a man bigger than the or- dinary to sce that the girl of his heart might after all be pure although | cast among women of bad character, and Ice Harding is just such a per- son. A great big, bad man, the west knew him and feared him for it. And when love finally enters his life and he thinks he sees a ray of sunshine peering’ through the dark clauds that overshadowed his life, there comes this realization. The girl he loves is no better than the ordinary street irl. s i i wrong. The apparently impossible is possible. She is not the girl he tried hard not to believe her, and he is rewarded for his faith. Harding is the storm center of “The Narrow Trail, which will come to the Lyceum theater tomorrow for three days’ stay.' He is depicted by that greatest of Wwestern character actors, Willlam S. Hart, who is appearing in a program of new features. The story is from the pen of Hart himself, and he certainly does nobly as an author, while as an actor, nothing needs be said; he is already known as supreme in hig line. *“The Narrow Trail” tells of this man Harding, who was brought up in rough surroundings and finally turns robber holding up staga coaches that come h\mbenng through the west. Thus *“The Narrow Trail” furnishes unusual and highly sensational scenes. It is a strong story, well acted. It is one of Hart's very latest and he achieves wonderful results. You have seen the others, now see the real feature of the week. He will be in town Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast.

She is called the “Girl with the Big Black Fyes” and after you bave seen her you will know the reason. Her vehicle, “The Painted Madonna” gives her ample opportun- ity to run the entire gamut of emo- tions. It has to do with an artist's search for the beautiful girl who' fled from him after drawing on his canvas a daddy long legs. Both suf- er human misery during the years that follow. The picture has some ex- quisite scenes and the camera work | is beautiful. The startling transformation of a frontier missionary into a genuine “bad actor” under the provocation of having his wife stolen from him by a smooth ex-physician and proprietor of a saloon gives Willlam S. Hart ex- cellent opportunities to display emo- tional and dramatic effects in “‘The Disciple.” Hart, who is considered one of the greatest portrayers of ‘Western roles is secn to best advan- tage in this strong picture and the power of his enacting of the role of Jim Houston' gives the feature a grip- ping interest which few others can equal. It is a typical Hart picture done in the big Hart way and to all those who admire this virile charac- |salt and ter actor these statements should be sufficient to assure them of entertain- ment throughout the picture. SIDE TALKS BY RUTRA The Dentist’s Assistant A friend of mine who is a dentist j has been trying to get a satisfactory Ruth Cameron Side Talks assistant. A few months ago I found a new one in his office and when she was out of the room for a moment, . he told me that he thought he had got- ten the right one this time. ‘‘She has bad a High school education and she seems very quick and intelligent,” he said. The next time I came in, some six months later, the girl had disappeared and I asked if she had not proved as intelligent as she had at first seemed. She Couldn’t Keep People From Get- ting Grouchy. ves, she was intelligent he said, “it wasn't that. The trouble with that girl was that she hasn’t any social charm. She couldn’t meet people and deal with them gracefully. “ You wouldn't think that would matter so much in a dentist's office, but it does, a whole lot. Every- one liked that last girl I had, she always said the right thing over the telephone and if people had to wait she seemed to know how to keep them from getting grouchy. This girl couldn’t do that.

She was good at dentistry too. It was too bad.” I was immensely interested in tho point of view which the dentist’s words suggested. A Saleswoman MUST Have Social Charm. There are some lines in which it goes without saying that social charm is one of the necessary ingredients of one's daily bread. That of saleswom- an, for instance, of commercial travel. er, of actress. But the dentist’s criti. cism brought it home to me that even in the businesses where dealing with people is only a secondary matter, so- clal charm is still tremendously im- portant. People are the chief elements happiness and of success. If you want happiness and success you've got to learn how to deal with people. Just being able to do something won’t avaid you unless you can do it so superlatively well that the world has to come to your feet whether it likes you or not. Perhaps one man in ten thousand can be that super- lative.

The knowledge of the forms of good usage is a good groundwork. The ardent desire and will to please, a pleasant smile, a well pitched and modulated voice help. And above all things,—the trick of remembering what people are interested in, and the { are of encouraging them to talk about it, is to be cultivated. There is a bit of cynical advice to the male wooer which I think applies quite as well to the wooing of all humanity. “Fill a woman full of self love and all that runs over will be yours.” 57 iuht Compared To Thas How big is a “bit"? Harvesting grain with a hand scythe is harder than saving scraps and fol- lowing the instructions of the Food Administrator on the conservation of meats, fats, milk, sugar and wheat. But both occupations are termed as “bits”, the one the first duty .of ail good French patriots and the other pne of the little demands made upon American women. : Manifestly the women of America have the easier job of the two. French “women even manage to overcome the handicap of a fat heavy baby by de- positing the little one on the new mown hay where she plays happily. The French wounded are well pleas- : ed if it is “ohly a leg” for that does' not prevent one from harvesting. y Evidently—a ‘“‘bit” is whatever there {is to do, done well. i And no handicaps! ‘ THese two photographs show -the disti~cts recaptured from the Gérmans along the Somme. The woman hurried home as soon as she heard o lme retreat, and immediately set to ‘work on the harvesting of the grain.
