There was an almost imperceptible | note of command in the last two words which told us that the personal note was dropped from our conversa- | tion for the moment, that our su- perior officer wanted information, and that it behooved us to give it to her. Katherine, whose intuitions are wonderfuily quick, changed her man- | ner instantly. “Madge believes that the disturb- ance downstairs was a ruse to draw our attention from this effort to get into the library through the closet door,” she said quietly. “Of course it was,” Lillian returned promptly, and then with a resumption of the playful personal note: “Good little Sherlocka! again.” 1 read more into the words, per- haps, than Katherine did, and my | reading comforted me. That Lillian, ajthough she loved me dearly, had been secretly a bit doubtful as to my fitness for the secret service in which she had enlisted me as her aid, I was sure. Her manner now, together with her exclamation of pleasure at dis- covering the way in which I had thwarted the man who was trying to cffect an entrance into the library re- assured me, took away a tiny gnaw- ing at the cords of my self-esteem.

The affection and admiration with | which I watched her was tinged with something akin to fear. Katherine had told me that when the men pos- ing as officials sent to take out her clectric light meter had disregarded her warnings not to batter down her kitehen door, Lillian, standing on the inside of it, had not hesitated to shoot | through the door with her silencer pistol. She had purposely shot low so as not to hit any vital part, but that her aim was good the groans of two of the men testified. The others made a hasty exit, supporting their wounded comrades.

In medium size the ‘model requires 414 yards 54-inch ma~ terial, with 3% yard satin. With the aid of the guide the cut- ting of the dress is greatly simplified and one does not need great exper- ience to attempt it. A First take as much of the broadcloth as will ac- commodate the back panel and front of the dress. Place on the cutting table or other smooth surface and along the lengthwise fold place the back panel. To the right lay the front of the dress with large “O” perforafions on a lengthwise thread. To the left of the back panel place the collar, then opposite arrange, in the order named, the cuff, pocket and sleeve, with large “O” perforations on a lengthwise thread of material. The belt is placed along the selvage. To cut the back and the front pan- el, take the remaining material and turn back the edges so that the sel- vages will meet as shown in thae cutting guide. Both the front panel and back are placed so that the triple “TTT” perforations rest on the lengthwise fold. If desired shorter than shown here, the lower edges may be cut off from the lower edges of the front back and panels of the pattern before they are placed on the material. A wise placing of buttons and braid on the dress gives it a smart air. niAL £s FouD OF MAY AT FOX'S THEATER It is Virginia Pearson at her best who appears in “Stolen Honor,” the ‘new Fox feature which is heading the show for today at Fox's theater.

It has to do with a stolen painting, which is used for a pretext for dishonoring Virginia Lake, the role Miss Pearson plays. The reason is that another woman is in love with one of the ar- dent admirers of Virginia, who is a painter of note, and the daughter of wealthy parents. She makes a copy Pearson is always in the supreme In the in a mighty and And jof a painting hung in the Corcoran !

The new Vitagr: erial, “Vengeance and the Woman,” can boast of the most successful opening | that a serial picture has ever had in Neéw Britain. And it certainly is worthy of it, for it is one cracker- Jack serial. Tt starts right off with a big bang, and no one who witnessed the first episode will miss a single chapter. The stars, Carol Holloway and William Duncan, could not be improved upon, and their work in this new picture will greatly increase their present popularity in local movie-hearts. “Shadows of Her Pest,” one of those excruciatingly 'funny Fox Sunshine Comedies, keeps the audience in a continual howl of hysterical laughter all during the 30 minutes it is on the screen. Wil- liam Fox certainly picked a winner ‘when he started producing Sunshines, for they are without doubt the fun- niest pictures on the market today. Mutt and Jeff, in “Doing Their Bit,” amuse greatly with their burlesque attempts to enlist in Uncle Sam’s fighting forces, and the latest issue of the Pathe News brings the newest news of the world before our eves. The show will be run continuous to- day. Tomorrow's feature will be “In the Balance,” a gripping mystery story by E. Phillips Oppenhelm, the ery novelist. Earl Wil- liams is the star. As usual, there will {be two shows, beginning at seven and nine o’clock, superb, | MARGARITA FISCHER AT LYCEUM SUNDAY | i ! Owing to a misunderstanding, nouncement was made that Margarita Fischer in “The Girl Who Couldn't Grow Up” would head the Lyceum program last Sunday night. The management announces now that this picture, which was expected a week ago, will be the feature number on tomorrow nigh program Miss Fischer is an actress of exceptional ability and enviable reputation, and all her motion pictures have been characterized by the carrying of every | | detail of the plot to its best pos- | sible development. i “The Girl Who Couldn't Grow | Up” is a story dealing with the ex- | periences of a girl who seemed to have possessed all the characteris- tics of her youth even after she grew up. It is easy to imagine the pc sibilities presented, and suffice to say, Miss Fischer gives another great in- | terpretation of the role. This will be one of a long list of pictures. The Lyceum's special Sunday show, which has in the T been of the highest possible quality, will continue so this week.

MACISTE, THE GI/—\NT SHOWN AT KEENEY'S SELWYN COMEDY COMING TO PARSONS “Nothing succeeds like success.” Nothing very new or original about that quotation but it's remarkably true, nevertheless, and no adage, no matter how time works, is more sus- ceptible of proof or more often the recipient of gratuitous verification. As an example, noté the progress about the country of the faree, ‘‘Fair and Warmer” by Avery Hopwood which Selwyn & Co., will bring to Parsons’ theater the three nights and Saturday matinee commencing Thursday, January 24. Of all the plays that have been produced in New York during the last twenty years, “Fair and Warmer” stands at the head as a success. This fact is proven by figures. “Fair and Warm- er” ran for one entire year in the me- tropolis at a theater whose seating capacity is one of the largest in that city. For more than 300 performances not one seat was vacant, and on the last night it played the crowd of dis- appointed ones who had failed to get seats was so great that it was neces- sary to call the police reserves. The story in New York was repeated in Chicago. Catherine Chisholm Cushing who had the difficult task of dramatizing Eleanor H. Porter’s widely read ‘“Pol- lyanna’ storil has written many popular comedies. Among them was one to fit the peculiar personality of May Irwin; ‘The Real Thing” for Henrietta Crossman; “Kitty McKay" and Billie Burke's success of last sea- son, “Jerry”. Mrs. Porter, who did not believe that “Pollyanna” stories could be adapted to presentation, is glad, indeed, that Mrs. Cushing sue- ceeded without any sacrifice of mater- jal incidents or dulling the joyous spirit that inspired her message to the world. “Pollyanna’, with its orig- inal cast comes to Parsor theater, two nights and Wednesday matinee starting Tuesday night. management of Keeney's the- | engaged as a special feat- ure for all this week. the most mar- velous and extraordinary screen story every produced, “The Warrior,” which deals with living men and women— us characters, featuring the -xploits of Maciste the giant hero of Cabiria” and all those who Wit~ nessed the Maciste in “Cabiria” will more than appreciate his wonderful work in this production, ‘The War- one of the sensations of the se This production has one feature which will be difficult to du- plicate in any other dramatic picture that the war produces—good comedy.

May to Buenos Aires, Jan. 19.—The direc- tor of the German hospital has in- formed the foreign office that the con- dition of Count von Luxburg, former German minister to Argentina, has become steadily worse. Count von Luxburg has been in the hospital five weeks, suffering nervous bhreakdown. The hos; thorities have urged the neces removing him to an asylum where he can be more closely guarded.
