Betty, Lilllan's colored cook, had retired to:her room in a ‘“weepy tantrum,” as Lillian de- scribed it, and as a consequence Lil- lian had to finish the dinner Betty had begun. “We’ll make the boys help us cook the dinner, and we'll serve and eat it in regular picnic style right here in the library,” Lillian said gleefully as she started for the telephone. *I don’t dare leave the room unguarded now for a moment, and it will be great sport to eat up here. Don’t you think so?"” 1 tried to make my assent as hearty as her suggestion—but Katherine’s unhappy face chilled my tone. I saw that she actually dreaded the presence of Jack Bickett, her flance and my brother-cousin, at this impromptu dinner, and my conscience smote me anew that I had so long neglected the interview I meant to have with Jack, and the scoring I meant to give him for the suffering his unreasonable jealousy was inflictiig upon my little friend. As soon as Lillian had gone down to the telephone—she had none in her library workshop, where she insisted upon absolute sectusion while she worked—Katherine came over to me. “Isn’t there any way of getting out of this?” she asked anxiously. “Jack and I had a quarrel two days ago and I haven’t seen him since. I can't meet him here, before all of you, dear friends as you are.” “You can’t very well go away, either,” I said slowly, for I had the usual feminine optimism about heal- ing lovers' quarrels when they! weren't my own. “Lillian has evi- dently set her heart upon this little informal festivity.” “Jack Is Furious.” “I know,” Katherine returned. “And I am a beast tq allow my own preferences to interfere with her pleasure in any way.

It was an interest that might have become sentimental, had it not been for the calm good sense of the older woman, who thoroughly understood her husband’s temperament, and who had cannily arranged with Katherine for the girl's work in the United States until he should have gotten back to his usual routine of thought. That there was no more danger Of sentiment on the great surgeon’'s part 1 was sure, because of the summons which had come for Katherine. Har- riet Braithwaite was not the woman to allow a possible rival to come back into her husband's life. Nor, on the other hand, if she were canvinced her Edwin ‘“‘were himself again,” she allow any pettiness of her own to stand in the way of Katherine's ad- vancement. “But the thing that hurts me most in Jagk,” Katherine went on, ‘“is his inconsistency. He is simply frantic to go back himself—now that we're at war, is trying vainly to have himself pronounced cured of thase terrible wounds he received. And he cannot understand that I feel just as anxious as he does to serve my country.” 1 scarcely heard her last words, for her first ones kept ringing in my ears. “Jack " is simply frantic to go back—."

He had written to me to come back before, and then a few days after America entered the war he cabled me to wind “The| up things as soon as possible and tzke\ the first ship I could back. I believe he wishes me to take one of his most important positions. “And Jack is furious. He won't listen to reason at all; doesn’t seem to realize that I am sworn to the nursing service; that I cannot leave it for any trivial reason. I think Lillian hyvpno- tized me today.

Did you ever motice what a crop of grippe and colds and bronchitis, etc., springs up just after Christmas? Last year I went shopping the day after Christmas and it seemed to me that every other shopgirl was mopping at her nose, or discharging a million germs a minute in one of those dead- ly attacks on all bystanders, known as sneezes. Also I had what felt like the be- ginnings of a cold myselt. 4 And I was informed on my return | that my next door neighbor had bron- chitis. And that the lady across the way had grippe, My Suspicions Werg Correct. And the next day my suspicions about my own cold proved horribly correct. This is not exactly chronicle. But it has a reason for being. 1 think that miserable crop of un- healthiness came from Jjust one cause—we had all gotten overtired. We had left too much until the last minute and we had so worn our- an inspiring selves—and the shopgirls—out that Christmas day was the last straw for both of us. of the little movie star. A new O.

I think Christmas deserves some- thing better of us than being the last straw. And yet look back on your own experience and see how many times it has been just that. The doctors say there is always the biggest crop of illness just after Christmas. There are the real chil- dren who have ordinary and the grown-up children who have other forms of indigestion from *bit- ing off more than they could chew’ before Christmas. Let's Have a Peace and Christmas, There are two words in which it seems to me the essence of Christmag abides. They are ‘‘Peace’ and “Goodwill.” They are the words which heralded the first Christmas. Could anything be more inconsistent with a Christmas of sick rebeHious bodies, and frayed nerves. 5 T've made up my mind that this year somehow I'm going to have a peace and goodwill Christmas.

ELTINGE A HIT AT THE LYCEUM The best picture of the month, was the verdict handed down by the Lyceum theater patrons, yesterday afternoon and evening, after viewing “Clever Mrs. Carfax,” which opened the week, with Julian Eltinge in the leading role. Eltinge, from whom much was expected because of his great work since entering the pic- tures, lived up to expectations and added greatly to his laurels. The pic- ture, with a combination of love, mystery and comedy, afforded the noted impersonator an excellent ve- hidle for his peculiar talents. Eltinge enacts the role of Temple Trask, who, while an a train going home from college, falls in love with Helen Scott after seeing her looking over the top of a magaszine. Although hoping to win her, and yet with the fear that his foolish idea would never came true, Trask Is surprised and startled a few days later when, from the front page of a newspaper, he sees the face of the girl, who is ac- cused of a serious attack upon her aunt, with robbery as the objective. Trask resolves, although not know- ing the girl, that she is innocent, and sets out to prove it. The girl, it appears, had had quarrels with her aunt on previous occasions, but at the time the older woman was attacked and robbed in her home they were friends. Helen was accused partly through circumstantial evidence and partly because of her past relations with the victim. Adrian Graw rand Rena Varsy, who had heen employed as servants in the aunt's home, are believed to have been the assailants, by Trask, but to prove it is a difficult task. Using his ability as a female im- personator to become acquainted with Graw, Trask follows him on a boat to South America, becomes friends while aboard, and. on arriving in South America, proceeds to weave a web of evidence which he hapes will prove the identity of the real burglars. How this big college boy with the lovely female ways gets Graw to reveal everything about his past life is in- teresting. On the same program will be the Lyceum Weekly, Keystone Comedy and several other interesting offerings The Lyceum offers its patrons always the best, and continues the policy this week. e A e How Women are Restored to Sparta, fered from backache, weakness, larities so I could hardly do m tried many remedies but foun nent nlhl After taking s 80 I haveno trouble in d Imhflp‘ every user of Lydia E. 122 Dewey Ave., Spartanburg, 8.

If she accepts a separate peace. it will mean, in all probability, a much longer delay in the downfall of Germany. If she de- termines to stick with the Allied na- tions, she still has her hands full at home. As a consequence of her pres- ent magnified importance in our own affairs, anything which will give a | clearer insight into the real Russia | is nothing short of boon to interna- tional diplomacy. And “The Rose of Blood,” in which that immortal star of the screen, Theda Bara, is now ap- pearing at Fox's theater, is the most startling revelation of events and con- ditions in that empire that has ever been presented to the public in any form. Up to the minute in every de- tail, it tells the stirring story of the causes leading up to the present “The Rose of Blood” will be shown for the last time this evening. “The Fighting Trail,” ‘“His Double Life,” a funny Drew comedy, and the new Pathe News Weekly are also on the program. Tomorrow will bring one of the biggest combination, double feature shows that has yet been seen at this house of big shows. The prin- cipal feature will be Willlam Fox's new kiddle picturg, ‘““Babes in the Woods,” in which those charming children, Virginia Lee Corbin and Francis Carpenter are starring. It is the best of the kiddie subjects that has been made. The other featurs will be the “Primal Lure,” one of the strongest and most gripping dramas that William 8. Hart has ever ap- peared in. “The Red Ace,” will also be shown. There will be no increase in price. b FADS AND FASHIONS A very simple narrow girdle is tied in a butterfly bow in front.
