Dicky asked lazily, as Jack and Katherine went out of the library door on their way to the Wining room, where Lillian had sent them in search of army wool and knitting needles. “What do you countered. “Camouflage not quite good enough, dear old Lil,” mocked Dicky. “Sec- tions of the tanks showing. In fact, if you ask me, it's pretty coarse work. Why didn’t vou just get up and say, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our friends, Jack and Katherine, have an awful mad on, and we will send them down ta another room so that they may kiss and make up in peace’? It would have been much simpler and saved a lot of mental effort. Your brain cells must be fagged out after thinking up such an elaborate excuse.” “You’ll never need to worry about fatigue affecting your brain cells,” Lillian returned caustically. “Meaning, I suppose, that I have none to fatigue. You dear, sweet- tempered angel! But you haven't tald me yet what the row’'s all about.” “And I don’'t intend to tell you. Hold that yarn straighter. How do you think Madge can wind it with you trailing it around like that?” “Isn’t our temper sweet tonight?"” Dicky mocked, but I noticed that he heeded Lillian’s injunction concerning the army woal he was holding for me, as he invariably obeyed her. ‘T'll bet you a cooky I can tell you what's the matter, (anyway,” he went on. “Old Jack probably wants her to marry him right away and stay n this coun- try, where she belongs, and she’s got some highfalutin notion about going back to her duty in that nursing game over there. It's no place for a wom- an like her. She's too delicate.” Does Lillian Wonder? “Fortunately, my lad,” Lillian said, and her voice had the cutting edge which she only uses when her wrath is stirred, “not only the women of Katherine’s profession, but hosts of other women have ‘highfalutin no- tions’ concerning their duty. Theyl will need to have them in the crisis| that's confronting this nation. It would be a good thing if some of the men—"" She broke off her sentence hastily and began again, with a manner as| nearly confused as I'd ever seen Lil- lian exhibit. “But You may calm your sensitive soul,” she said lightly. *“Katherine is to be transferred to the nursing serv- ice here when she is strong enough to mean ' Lillian SIDE go back to such strenuous work. She is on the verge of a breakdown and far the present she will stay here) with me, helping me with the care of | old Mrs. Morton, a comparatively light duty that will give her a chance to regain her strength. As for marry- ing Jack, that wouldn't interfere much with whatever - work she wished to take up., He,is going back to the trenches as soon as he gets a chance, and has been wild to go ever since the United States entered the war.” The One Flaw. She shot an apparently careless glance at him as she finished, but I caught the earnest searching in the laok and with a sinking heart read its meaning as I had read her confusion a little earlier. Lillian, as well as. I, was puzzled at - Lesrons By Pictorial Review Dicky’s apparent apathy in the face of his country’s great need of him. She wouldn't say anything which he could construe as a reproach, but I knew that her apparently innocuous re-' mark about Jack was made purposely in order to elicit a response fram my husband which would show his atti- tude toward the all-important ques- | tion. % But Dicky, cither purposely or un- consciously, was non-committal. “Is that\so?” he asked, and in the same instant ,whether by accident or design, dropped the skein of yarn he was holding, and in regaining it tangled it in most provoking fashion. “For goodness sake!” Lilllan ex ploded. “Give me that yarn! It lucky I'm not your wife, “Lucky for whom?” Dicky asked mischievausly, but he was safely out of reach when he put the question, and Lillian vouchsafed him no other | answer than'a glance which he pre-| tended to dodge. “That's bully, Lil,” “Register some more tempt. Go on!’ and he kept up a running fire of feasing remarks, while Lillian and I struggled with the yarn. | Before we had finished untangling it | Jack and Katherine came back into the room, and it took but a glance' at their faces to tell me that all their ' differences had been smoothed out. | Jack's face was radiant, triumphant. | He had gained the thing he had been fighting for.

Here it | appears in delectable form, the front and back being gathered to a square voke, while the open neck is finish- ed with a collar of plain material daintily embroidered. The sash is at- tached to the collar, crossed in front and tied in back. Cuffs to match the collar finish the plain sleeves. In medium size the dress calls for 1 % yards 36-inch material, with 1 yard 30-inch plain material for the collar, sash and cuffs. Both the cutting and making of the dress are easy, because of the small number of seams the pattern Toquires. By placing the back, col- lur, yokes and front sections of tne pattern along the lengthwise fold, they aré made seamless. The sash is laid along the selvage opposite -the collar, with large ‘“O’’ perforations on a lengthwise thread. Below the sash are the yokes, with large ‘‘0’’ perforations on a lengthwise thread. To the right of the front are the cuff and sleeve, with large ‘‘O’’ per forations on lengthwise thread. In cutting the sash it may be placed on either a lengthwise or crosswise thread of material If the sleeve be preferred elbow length, with a cuff, ecut off the pattern along npper small ‘‘0’’ perforations before placing it on the material.

And I knew that to her the knowledge that Jack could be triumphantly glad she hzd forsaken her duty, as he believed, was a bitter thought. IALKS The Gift of Wanting Things Hard A woman came to the house the other night who was not pretty, not handsome, not of remarkable figure, and yet stood out from the other wom- en in the room. And the reason was her perfect grooming. She wore a tallored suit, a small hat, a very sim- ple (but not mannish) blouse and she ‘was absolutely trig from the crown of that littlesclose hat to the low heels of her tan shoes. She satisfied the eye. There were no loose ends about her anywhere. After she had gone, a younger wo- man who had been taking the visitor in, voiced her admiration. ‘Wasn’t she stunning?” she sald. “Wouldn't I love to be like that?' “Well?” said the Lady-who-always- FAIRBANKS AND CAPRICE AT FOX'S June Caprice and Douglas Fair- banks! That’s some pair to draw to— it can’t lose. For it represents the best-beloved and most popular per- formers on the scregn. Either of them alone is sufficient to fill any theater at any time, but when we get both of them together in one show, well it is simply impossible to imagine a more excellent or more entertaining com- bination of attractive talent. Miss Caprice the smilingest maiden on the screen, comes in a new “glad” pic- ture, “Unknown 274, in which she knows-somehow with an upward slant to her voice. She Answered the Upward Slant. “Oh I couldn't,” said the young wo- man, answering the upward slant. “Why not?” said the Lady. “I don’t know,” said the young wo- man vaguely. ‘She was wonderful. I'd love to be like her but I don't think I ever could.” “Nothing but grooming,” said the Lady. ‘“You could if you wanted to hard enough.” “It isn't a matter of wanting at all,” said the younger woman, “but I don’t think it's in me.” She Knew Her Failing. (She is a nice young person, charm- ing in her way but muchk given to loose ends.) “You mean it isn’t in you to want it that hard,” sald the Lady. “Not at all,” said the young woman. But just the same, that was what | she aid mean. I won’t say that anything you want vou can get if you want it badly enough. It is the style to make those smashing over-statements in order to pound home truths. I do it myself. But I don’t wholly like it. So I'll just put it that are a great many things that you can get if you want them badly enough. An Own Cousin of Genius. The gift that most of us lack is the gift of wanting a few things and want- ing them hard. That gift is a blood relation of the genius which is an infinite capacity for taking pains. And almost as rare. plays the part of a poor orphaned waif, who rises to be the wife of a millionaire. The *“Sunshine Maid,” as Caprice is known to her millions of devoted admirers, shows to great ad- vantage in this picture. She appears at first as a poor, ill-fated child of sixteen in an orphan asylum in Maine. Then two scheming New Yorkers, a man and a woman, believing that they can make a fortune by marrying her to one of the spendthrift millionaires in New York city, take her to the big city, educate her at a fashionable school, and put her in fine clothes. The young millionaires certainly ad- mire June (who could help it?), but the one whom the schemers try to trick into marrying her does some tricking on his own hccount after he learns that June is not the woman’s adopted daughter. Another stirring and unpleasant part of the picture is that which tells how June’s father's old violin brings back his daughter to him after a separation of sixteen vears. The photographic effects of “Unknown 274" are beautiful, and Miss Caprice has fine opportunities in this story for emotional acting, and she “gets over” some great thrilling scenes. But that’s only one-half of the excellent program, for old Doug. Fairbanks comes back, at the insist- ent demands of his followers, for a return engagement of his howling comedy drama, “The Good Bad-Man.” This is a truly typical Fairbanks pic- ture, as full of pe>, zip and ginger as five reels can possibly be, and Fairbanks keeps things moving at a ninety-mile gait from beginning to end. “The Red Ace,” that thrilling serial, will also be seen, as wil| the new issue of the entertaining ang edu- cational Ford Weekly. MARGUERITE CLARK IS LYCEUM'S HIT The last opportunity to see M guerite Clark, the brightest little star of the present day motion picture world in “Bab’s Diary,” her latest of- fering, is given today. Miss Clark has been at the Lyceum Monday and Tuesday in this picture and won her way higher in the esteem of her hun- dreds of local admirers through her excellent work. ‘Bab’s Burglar” admitted her best of the year, and those who miss it will regret it later. The adventures of a boarding school miss who is given $1,000 allowance by a doting father furnish the action, and what the young lady does not do with that money is not worth men- tioning. An automobile, purchased without the knowledge of her family is one of the leading narticles in the vhile an attempted elope ar- is | ment and several other exciting inci- dents keep things moving all the time. Thursday, Iriday and Saturday will he especially mnoticeable in the local theater circle because on those three | days Lina Cavalieri, the noted opera. singer, said to rank as one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, woman in public life will appear. The motion pictures scored a big success when they won this woman, and the producers are making the best of their victory by giving her an excellent vehicle for her first picture. She will be seen in “The Eternal Temptress,” a strong story. A brilliant screen ca- reer is predicted for this star, and if her work in her first picture may be taken as a criterion, the prophecy will not fall short. The Keystone comedies, one of which will be shown with this fea- ture, are bringing programs to a well rounded condition, and the Lyceum feels glad to bé able to offer them to its patrons. The Lyceum Weekly, the Burton Holmes travelogue and other pictures will be shown today, with a A DOLLAR A WEEK Will Buy Fine Christmas Gift§ Herg BEach article you choose will carry the message of love and good will, and at the same time supply a sensible and wanted article.

Conditions - This Year Call for a Careful and Thoughtful Selec- tion of Christmas Gifts Sincere desire to make your freinds happy on the day of days leads you to give them the finest gifts you can afford. But this year when nothing should be wasted, you should use all of the time, thought and intelligent understanding that you can give to the making of every gift a real, true, worth-while evidence of your love and sympathy, with both heart and head in it. You can’t go wrong in this respect when you put something beauti- ful, useful or superlatively comfortable into a home. It only remains to choose the style and quality to harmonize with the other things you know to be in that home.
