But they were not the only medicines T had received. Since the first blurred awakening 1 had been half-conscious of being partly roused a number of times, just long enaugh to Teceive draughts or potions which must have done the work designed for them, for I felt their effects in the strength that seemed flowing back to me. I answered Lillian's raillery with a smile, and then my eyes traveled around the room in which I found myself—a pleasant one with an open fire, dainty white curtains at the win- daws, a chiffonier and table of spot- less white, two or three rockers also of white, and the white iron bed upon which 1 was lving. “This Is Fine.” “I suppose I am in a hospital,” 1 said. “Your suppositions are eminently correct, oh! Vidoeq, Jr.” returned Lillian. *‘And now I'll just hand yau another supposition, and that is that you're not going to talk until after your breakfast. Then T'll tell you all —after the most approved third-act fashion.” The door opened and the same sweet-faced nurse whom I had seen with Lilllan upon my first awakening, and of whom T had been vaguely con scious during my brief Tousings in the night to take the nourishment she of- fered, came into the room. “Ah,” she said, smiling, “this is fine. Now for same breakfast.” I liked her immediately, and the liking wasn't lessened when, after stepping quietly out of the room and giving her breakfast order, she came back and, in the deftest, tenderest manner possible, sponged my face an¢ hands, brushed and braided my hair and, going to the wardrobe, brought from it a breakfast jacket which I recognized as one af my own. No\ Denying Lillian. For a moment I wondered wildly at the appearance of this familiar article of my wardrobe in thils strange hos- pital; then I looked at Lillian, com- prehension dawning in my eyes. You have been at my house.” ‘Guilty, as charged in the indict- ment,” Lillian retarted lightly. “Now get into this, then lie back and shut your eyes until your hreakfast comes.” There was no disputing Lillian. T felt that T could wheedle even the calm, professional-looking trained nurse more easily than 1 could my friend. So, after the nurse had put me into my breakfast jacket T obedi- ently lay back as Lillian had told me ta and closed my eye: But I was trembling with impatient longing to hear the account of what had happened after T had fallen un- conscious to the grass of the inn lawn, and when the nurse came back with a tray holding one of the daintiest breakfasts I'd ever seen served, tried to eat as rapidly as T possibly could in order to hasten the moment of revelation from Lillian. But I found that if T proposed, Lil- llan and the nurse disposed. “Nothin'—do—ing, at—all—at—all . in this stuffing stunt,” Lillian drawled, reaching out an efficient hand and ro- moving the plate from the tray, while the nurse smilingly took away my coffee cup. g “You must eat and slowly,” the nurse sald professional manner. “You're both horrid,” T said, pettishly, “but T'll be good.’ “On honor?” Lillian laughed. “Cross my heart,” I retorted. “All right,” and my breakfast came back. “Now. then” Lillian said compe- tently when, under their inexorable eyes, I had finished my meal and the nurse had laid me comfortably down again, “what do yvou want to know first 7™ “Was that officer Kkilled?" breathlessly. drink very in her best half- I asked German Aviator is Captured in Picture of “Over the Top” Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey, went to Washington recently on a mission connected with his recruiting activi- tles and a government pilet took him eloft thinking to have fun with the trench hero and author of “Over the Top,” by showing him a few stunts he had never seen above the fighting lines in France. Several thousand feet over the Capitol, he looped, dove and turned his machine up side down, but never disturbing the imperturbality of Empey, who as they were descending, shouted to the pilot to know when he was going to begin with his stunts. “Empey is too tough a proposition for me,” admitted the fiier, in telling of his experience, as any person will learn who tries to pull anything on him. Sergeant Empey will be seen in actual airship scenes in Vitagraph's picturization of his famous book, “Over the Top,” based on his experi- ences in first line trenches.

This announcement is sufficient to cause large amount of interest as s Carmen has built up a very big clientele among those who appreciate good moving pictures.

The whole play is pervaded by the exquisite beauty of the star who begins as a bride and has considerable tragedy in the first hours of her honeymoon.

Most Of Us Would Call a Bathroom a Necessity. she- called ‘“‘simple There are few of us who wouldn't call a bathroom a necessity, today. Yet, just recently I was reading an article which told of the first bathtub with running water, ever installed in Anterica. That was in 1842, in the home of a wealthy merchant in Cine cinnati. The idea of bathing as a regular function, was then so novel that discussion thereof arose all over the country. Many of the medical profession declared that bathing was unhealthy: and in Philadelphia a law forbidding bathing from November ta March was rejected by only two votes. What is your least common denom- inator of comforts? 1 tried making mine out, the other day, and though I regard myself as a person with simple tastes, 1 found it surprisingly long. And one naturally wondérs what the least common denominator ot comforts of the average citizen of fif- ty vears hence, will be. CLARE CASSEL BACK IN AMATEUR RANK / This is the most recent photograph of Miss Clare Cassel, whose return to the ranks of amateur tennis has brought joy to the great host of fol- lowers of the game. Before she left competition Miss Cassel ranked among the first ten women experts on the courts. She was forced to forego playing in 1916 because she had given professional skating instruction, which debarred her from amateur tennis competition. She has refrained from for more than a year and as a result is now restored to her amateur status. BODICE OF BLUE AND CHECKED VOILE This fascinating guimpe bodice is of blue and checked voile. Tucks, tiny pearl buttons and organdie ruffles contribute to the charm of the bodice. The dashing wing-trimmed turban completes the costume.
