e e e e e P e o A e« e At S A T e REVELATIONS By ADELE N STARS “WHO i CZAR STORY 2NIN Where Is the Noto Dicky Was to ‘Write? It wasn't until I had hung up the receiver after talking to Mrs. Durkee that I wondered if Dicky could pos- | sibly have a&n engagement for the evening. The thought made me hurry to the dining room, where Dicky was linger- ing over a belated breakfast. Only the day before he had finished an im- portant piece of work which had kept him unusually busy for several | days. It was always his custom after such a spurt of work to “take it easy,” as he expressed it, for a time, and he had declared his intention the night before of not-going to his studio in the city until the afternoon. “Mrs. Durkee and Alfred are com- ing over tonight.” I thought it wiser to make the statement first instead of asking him whether or not he intended to spend the evening at home. “The deuce tHhey are!” Dicky turned abruptly from his omelet and frawned blackly at me. = “Did the thought ever strike your alleged brain that it ‘might ‘'be well to find out whether I would be home before is- suing invitations to the neighbors for the evening? Or perhaps you don't care whether I am heme or not.” “Nice Performance!” It it were not so irritating, Dicky’s childish petulance would be amusing. But I was not in a particular jocular mood. i “I haven't issued any invitations to the neighbors,” I answered icily. “Mrs. | Durkee falled me up and asked me if ! we were to' be at home this evening. She said she and Alfred wished to come over because Alfrefl is going to Plattsbrug soon and wishes to see us all before he goes. Under. those cir- cumstances I was injudicious enough ‘to propose oysters and a rarebit. But, of course, it will only take a minute to phone her that I was mistaken about your being home.” | I turned away and went swiftly out of the door and into the reception | hall in an alcove of which the tele- ! phone was situated. I had taken the receliver down before Dicky reached | me, snatched it out of my hand and’ replaced it on the hook. ¢ “What the devil is the matter with you, anyway?” he stormed. “I am not aware that there is any- | thing amiss with me,” I returned .

At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use prep- aration, improved by the addition of other ingredients called “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark- ened, glossy and luxuriant. Gray, faded hair, though no dis- grace, is a sign of old age, and as we | all desire a youthful and attrdctive appearance, get busy at once with ‘Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. This ready- to-use preparation is a delightful toi- let requisite and not a medicine. It is not intended for the cure, mitiga- tion or prevention of disease. “IDLE WIVES” in Eight’ Patt Challenge to the Woman' of Today— Hapdled Without Gloves. /ART THOU THE WOMAN?’ : 6o 10 L FOX'S SUN.

Now they are ‘old friends.’ You will pardon me if my ‘alleged brain’ is |, a bit bewildered at the transition.” Dicky stared at me blackly for a minute. Then his face cleared and he put his head back and laughed heart- ily. 'Did she get her little back up?” he said mockingly when he had finished ! laughing, but there was no rancor in either the laughter or the mockery, and from long experience with Dicky I knew that if I wished to avoid a se- rious quarrel I would better match his | merry mood. “No, indeed,” I returned with, forced gayety, “I was simply making sure that my liege lord was obeyed in his slightest behest as a proper doormat |'wife should do.” “You're a card as a doormat wife!” scoffed Dicky, and then a worried frown appeared on his face. *“Of course, I've got to stay at home. It would never do to offend the Dur- kees, but I do wish they had chosen any other evening. I have an import- ant engagement on tonight.” “Can’t you telephone right away and arrange the matter?” I asked in- nocently. Dicky gave me a quick glance that to my imagination had something fur- i tive in it—he hesitated perceptibly be- i fore he answered. “I can’t reach them by telephone,” he said at last. “But if I write a note and put a special delivery on it it will get the noon mail and be-delivered late, this afternoon. That will have to do.” It was on the tip of my tongue to offer to go to the post office with the note, but a saving thought came to me just in time. I was afraid that if I did so Dicky would- think I made the offer solely to see the address on the note he was sending. There was something about the whole matter, however, that vaguely troubled me. It wasn’t a business en- gagement, of that I was certain, for Dicky is punctilious about keeping them, and as Alfred Durkee was him- self an art editor, both would have understood and accepted without offense that excuse. “Well, I must hustle if I would catch that mail,” he said abruptly, and went upstirs to his room two steps a time. He was down again in so shart a time that I couldn’t understand how ihe could have dressed for the street jand written & note in the interval. With a sudden thought of which I did not stop to be ashamed of until afterward, I went directly to his room. His clothing was thrown around in Dicky’s usual careless fashion, but on his desk, to which Katie had not yet given her usual daily attention, there was a coating of dust. And his box of stationery was undisturbed. He had written no note there. “IDLE WIVES” IS BOOKED FOR FOX'S A play with a message and a mis- sion, and a play that teaches a lesson to all classes is “Idle Wives,” a star- tling eight-part moving picture df life which will come to Fox's theater for three days starting Sunday. It is, amgng other things, a preachment on discontent. To wives who are dis- contented, to husbands and wives who are drifting apart, to those who are in comfortable circumstances, but who are envious of those whose for- tune is greater, and to the working man and woman, “Idle Wives'” exer- cises a powerful appeal. The play ‘wag designed by its author, James Oppenheim, to show that discontent is the principal cause which resuits in misunderstandings and leads to the divorce mills and to the downfall of young girls. Young men whose methods of living are a menase to the communities in which they live will find much for their benefit in the picture, while headstrong girls, ‘who think that their mothers are old- fashioned and too narrow-minded to properly interpret the attentions of a certain class of young fellows, will see something that will wake them up. A prominent New York dra- matic critic has called “Idle Wives” a second “Intolerance,” for it is pre- dicted that its effect will be as far- reaching and decisive as was that of the other big films. “Idle Wives” aims to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truh, and there are some revelations about the men and women of so-called “high so- clety,” and their manner of living. is is said “the devil finds work for idle hands,” and when a woman who has been accustomed to having something to occupy her mind suddenly finds herself in the very lap of luxury, without the ne- cessity of.lifting a hand from ‘morn- Ang until night. the devil is pretty sire to get busy, for he has fertile soil to cultivate. And the ruins he wreaks, the seeds of sorrow that he sows, are the miserable consequences of it all, are ably and badly presented in “Idle Wives.” It is a picture that will, at times make you laugh; it may even make YOU Wweep, once or twice. But one thing is certain: it will make you think hard, and think of some things that you've never bothered much about before, he and his | i IN DAILY HERA — LD, THURSDAY, - o A e “RASPUTIN, BLACK MONK,” COMING HERL Russia, until a year ago thought of by most of the world only as the home of bewhiskered, uncuitured, un- lettered peasants who were ground beneath the heels of tyrants and forced to ge on through life without any of the advantages enjoyed by the rest of civilizatibn, now holds the center of the world's stage, the spot- light full upon it, and everyone of reading age is watching open-mouthed to see just what will come out of the almost impenetrable confusion that seems to have cast itself about the country, like a great cloak. Ever since Czar Nicholas was over- throwm, his throne taken from him, and forced into exile, Russia has un- dergone a period of great anxiety for the entire universe. The past of that big country has been revealed, the cloud of doubt somewhat lifted, and now its interior is being peered into. What is the cause of existing conditions? . Who is to blame? What has Nicholas’' real power been? Has he been the true ruler or was he merely the puppet in the hands of oth- ers, stronger than he, more powerful and with greater influence? All these questions have arisen, and now they are to be answered in part, with the best historical references to aid in the task. The character Ras- putin, whose name has been linked with Russia’s, is to be shown to the world, the route he took in climbing into the most influential pest in the country’s government is to be, traced, and the story is to be given to this coutry through the greatest medium,, the motion pictures. Thus the Ly- ceum theater management announces that “Rasputin, The Black Monk,” a massive production revealing the in- side story of Russia is to be the feat- ure of Its program today, Friday and Saturday. Seven of filmdom'’s greatest actors and actresses play the leading roles. Montagu Love, June Elvidge, Arthur Ashley, Henry Hull, Julia Dean, Trv- ing Cummings, and Hubert Wilke bearing the bulk of the work. Oth- ers in the supporting cast have been picked for their ability. In this great film, the story of the black monk’s rise into power is told, and how his inffuence is exerted even In the great war that is now holding the world in its grasp is traced. The most dan- gerous, despicable character in Rus- sia, and yet an interesting and impor- tant character, is this monk. Keren- sky, the man of the hour and other leading characters in Russia’s situ- ation play their parts in this picture. Everyone who desires to understand the real facts in the present world situation will want to see it. It is too good to miss. On the program these three days will also be the Keystone comedy, Ly- ceum Weekly, and other subjects. The real motion picture™treat the rest of the week is at the Lyceum. Remem- ber that, and take heed. IS IT “JUST A COLD”? New Britain Pcople Should Ask Them- selves This Question. Don’t say: “It’s just a cold.” It mav turn into backache, rheu- matic aches, or achy joints. Or other serious sickness comes from weak kidneys. Colds are due to congestion.

I doubt if there is anyone in the country who has not. When I went the other day through a remote country district, I saw a conservation card in almost every window. And equally of course you are trying to do your bit, trying to help the nation and her allies (and incidentally conserve your own Te- sources) by saving whatever youcan in your own household. But the Other Fellow’s Movement asks you to go one step further. Being the Keeper of Your Brother's Goods. It wants you in the words of its instigator “to look about' you for op- portunities to save that which belongs to your neighbor and the stranger you have not even seen.” Perhaps you do not at once realize how you can do this. ‘Well here is an instance.
