LEY & TROUP, REVELATIONS By ADELER GARRISON ‘Why Is Lillian Sure Harry Underwood Wil Prosect Madge? “Katherine,” ‘said ‘Lillian Under- ood slowly, “would you be willing to gve uUp your work' in that hospital untt in France to help me.in the serv- ice here?" \ Katherine Sonnot looked at Lillian . I saw that her brain also had leaped to the conclusion mine had, and that she realized just what LiMex's - offer would mean. to her. There waere little pin-points of Hght in ‘her wonderful brown eves. I knew that the girl's whole being was a-guiver with excitement. “You kmow I'm pledged to my work,” she sald qudetly, but with a hopeful note In her voice that was immediately justified by Lillian’s an- swar. “There is mo workin-4he world ex- eept this you're entering from which I oo not have you released with honor Xy the highest authority.” IdMian's voice had no note of boast- ing. She was simply stating a fact and I both felt it. ‘“Then my is ‘yes’” Kath- exine weturned. ‘‘You know I love my. profession, but there’s nothing in the ‘would rather do than help Fou “Tou'll be. able to combine your peotession with aiding me for a ‘while,” Lillian returned smiling, and I saw that the worried look had en- tirely loft Der eves. Hvidently Kath- erine’s answer had solved the problem that had bothered her. “If you'll oonsent to the arrangement, you may ostensibly be old Mrs. Morton’s nurse. Fortunately, while she's unable to get out of her room, she doesn’t by any means require constant or arduous attention, and Betty or even Marion can often sit with her. And I can promise you more important and ex- citing service after a while. But just now one of the most important things is to guard the secrets of this library and thet closet entrance to and froi the ‘other house.” . Lilian’s-Plans. - “Don’t~forget that I am a nurse, and, therefore, well used to the ne- cessity of very humble service some- times,” Katheriné said, and, there was that note af pride in her voice with which abe always referred tor her pro- fomdon, *And I am proud to be 8o oclossly sssociated with you.” 7 “You dear child!” Lillian impul- sively put her arm around the girl's slender waist and warmly kissed her. “Youn don't know what a load you've lfted from my shoulders. Now, if yow'll make the necessary arrange- ments by telephone to have your things brought over here, I shall be most grateful. And will you please fix up Mrs. Morton for thse nigtxxltl be- ore hoys get hepe? She will ex- i ';m‘?fiut s ome. Anaath ([ lend you a big apron.\ Pardon us, /Madge, I'll be back in a minute.” She was as good as her word, and, | inding me standing where she had left me, pulled me down to a seat beside her on a couch. “Don’t ever think for a moment, dear girl, that I'm preferring Kath- erine’s services to yours in this busi- ness,” she said warmly, and with the words a tiny little unworthy feeling of envy which had possessed me for the last few minutes fled away ashamed. “But you are married, Katherine isn’t, and while I could have kept you here for a few days to guard the library, 1 couldn’t have done it long. I can see Dicky’s face if I should propose it. I imagine I Am doing Katherine a favor also. That cousin of yours doesn’t fancy her working over there in France under Dr. Braithwaite, T am sure.” I turned a startled face toward Lil- lian. How had she guessed the se- cret Katherine had comfided only to me, the secret of Jack Bickett's Jeal- ousy of the brilliant, middle-aged surgeon, Dicky's brother-in-law, and the head of the hospital unit to which Katherine belon ? Ldllian laughed Nghtly as she saw my face, then she took my hand in hers. “It’s my business to know things,” she said, “‘especially all about the peo- ple whom I may wish as aids in my work. 1 must know their very thoughts almost. I overheard a little, put two and two together, and—" . She spread her hands with a fetch- ing little gesture. When she spoke again it was in an entirely differant * “Ldttle girl,” she said solemnly, ‘“I'm going to sand you home tonight with Dicky. There isn't the danger I feared for you at home, because from what Harry said tonight I can tell CAWTHORN | that he realizes Grace Draper's per- “Their Greatest Musical Comedy sonal enmity teward you. And he will see that she gets no opportunity to gratify it. And there’'s something I must lHave you keep for me, far a while, something I am afraid these Madge Is- Troubled. . She broke pff abruptly and -looked at her watch. “But there will be time enough for that later in the evening,” she said. “I shall get you to myself for a fow minutes, and do you explain to Dicky that something has come up Wwhioh has postponed the historical werk for ‘Which I told him I wanted your help,/! I don’t think he will be sorry. Now for the kitchen. No need of.guarding the library so olosely.” She slipped the heavy bolts which I had noticed in the outside of the closet door, and went downstairs to the kitchen (with me beside her in fact, yet far away in thought For besieging my mind was the query: ‘Why is Lillian so certain Harry Un- derwood will keep Grace Draper from arming me? PICKFORD AND HUFF AT THE LYCEUM The last opportunity to see Jack Pickford and Louise Huff in their most recent and greatest offering, “The Varmint,” based on the book of the same title by Owen Johnson will be given today at the Lyceum, and a continuous performance will, take place, in order that the friefids of these popular young people may see them. Pickford is at his best this time, which means considerable, and Miss Huff was never given greater op-« portunity. Today’s program will also have the { Lyceum Weekly, showing picturees of the actions of ‘our boys” in the | many training camps throughout the country and in France. Comedies and smaller matters will also be given, making the bill an acceptable Sat- urday offering. \ Sunday night's program will be another of the ever-increasingly pope ular programs, with “Souls In Pawn,” & dramatic picture that goes. over with a crash, as the headliner. This picture is one that you will remam- ber—it is stronger than the average and tells a big story in a big way. It Fings true, and that is what' the mo- :.&on picture public of today is looking or. For Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day the Lyceum management is pleased to announce that Marguerite Clark, one of the most popular top- notchers in the business will be seen in “Bab's Burglar,” another of the | l“Bab” series. Everyone who ever | saw Miss Clark wants to see her again, The reason is that every picture she makes is just a little bit better than the previous ome. . “: This is “her latest,-and so is a de- cided improvement on others of her features. Her kind of comedy, while not really ‘‘refinded” as the word has been stretched today, nor slapstick, nor even rough, is effective and enter- taining. This boarding school miss is a character worth studying and when ! she meets the burglar—but see what happens.

Benoit’s Art Shop Picture Framing a Specialty. | 55 Church St. WALT WHITMAN AT FOX’S SUNDAY EVE. An-unusually good picture, nresent- ing e remarkably beautiful and ca- pable star—that's the true deseription of “The Eternal Woman,” in which the lovely and popular emotional act- ress, Bthel Barrymore is now play- Ing at Fox's theater. It is seldom that a plot so far from the ordinary, and yet so purely natural, is con- ceived, and in the rare cases where such a gtory bas been found, the pro- ducers have wsually beem content to ‘lot the resulting picture rest on the strength of the story alone for its suc- oess, and have produced it with me- d@locre casts, and with as lttle ex- pense as posetble, - Not so with “‘The Eternal Mother,” however. It was dechded that in order to give 80 POW- erful a tale a fitting setting, no ex- pense must be spared, so the first thing to be accomplished was the ac- quisition of the best star available, asd, of course, Ethel Barrymore was the: logical choice for the rale Maris. wag used in making “The Mother,” and it is a real success. Eterpal her father's wishes marries the man of her choice, who soon turns out to be a worthless drunkard., In or- der to support herself and her little daughter, Felico, Maris obtains g po- sition ag stenographer in the private office of Henry Alden, a wealthy mill- owner. Learning that her husband and daughter have been killed in an accident, Maris consents to marry her employer, and then, follow _several vears of the most perfect happiness that she had ever known, until, 'one day, the unexpected happens, and her former husband turns up again, alive and well in the company of another woman. They have Felico in their possession, and are forcing the girl to work in the mill in order to sup- port them. Then ensues the strangest struggle that the drama has produced, in which Maris attempts to save her child without letting her former hus- band learn of her identity, or her second husband discover the dilemma In which she is innocently involved. Among the other excellent subjects on the\same bill are “The Gems of Jeop- ardy,” the eleventh thrilling chapter of “The Seven Pearls,” a funny Mutt and Jeff comedy, “The Fable of the | Spepdy -Aprite,” by George Ade, and the new Pathe News.

Sport dresses are worn with knitted sleeveless jackets, Black, brown.and taupe are preferred colors for vells. A coat of green velvet trimmed with kolinsky is attractive. the Long coats trimmed with fur usual- ly have bright linings. A luxurious looking wrap is made of black sllk embroidered in brown. Smart little boleros have points at the sides, the points are finished with tassels. \ Do not overlook the soutache braid when seeking a fashionable trimming. The simpler the style the more care- fully it must be chowen and the more smartly it must be worn. Where fur cannot be had a certain soft woolen matarial is excellent for the trimming of winter suits. A pretty shopping bag is made of black taffeta with bright colored flow- ers crocheted around the top. One must have a large flower em- broidered on the veil.

We were speaking the other day about coal and several people com- plained of the quality of coal they had Lheen receiving. Then two or three said they had never scen a ton of coal look so small as it did this year. Whereupon one woman spoke up and said, “Why a dealer actually gave us half a ton for a ton last spring.” “You don’t mean it,” someone said. { “How did you find it out?” said someona else. “Oh it looked terribly small to me and I had Mr, M. (a neighbor) in and hé said he had no doubt it was only half a ton.” “But how did you prove it?” per- sisted someonc else. “Oh I didn't do anything more than that but my husband and Mr. M. and I all knew it was only half a ton.” “Oh.” ’ She Didn’t Really Know. And on the strength of that she was going about saying that the coal dealer had given her only half a ton. She was unfair to the coal dealer and unfair to herself. If he really gave her only half a measure she wag libelling him. If he realy gave her only half a ton she wag betraying the public in not going further with tHe matter. This is a time when housewives ought not to be content to guess about such matters—they should know. Among the many heipful bulletins that are being issued I came across one the ‘other day sdealing ‘with weights and measures. There were several interesting hints in it. Did YOU Know This?

Price, When Housewives Should Know should undersmn\d her units and tables of measurement. It mentioned in illustration, a fact I, at least, had never known-—that the drug store ounce is not the same as the grocery store ounce, jgain it warned against the mer- chants who attract trade by quotd 1 ing a price lower than the prevail- ing market price and then delivering amounts short in weight or measure. Don’t Be Afraid to Report If You Are | Sure, Another piesc of interesting in- formation wag that the woman who does her duty to the community by reporting repeated welght shortages to the Commissioner of Weights and Measures need not be forced to ap- pear in court as the Commiasioner will probably get information upon his own account befere he acts. Another warning was against buy- ing potatoes, apples, onfons and sim- llar commodities by bulk—a practice which never obtained in the West but has been common in the East. Sehding a container to the stor and ordering & gallon or quart with- out being sure the container holds a full- gallon or quart is another mis- take which even .thoughtful house- wives often make. The merchant will usually fill the container and charge for the amount ordered. —t— LOVE GIFTS Another objection to the new Christmas I wrote you about has been submitted by a letter friend. 8he says, But think of all the tenderness and 004 feeling that getting such gifts for those who need more but I can't bear | heart.
