STANLEY HORVITZ, OF A WIFE GARRISON can’t.” But that derwood’s way. “Oh, but you can, and you must!” she said brightly, and there was that in her words which steadied and strengthened me. 1 braced myself mentally and physically to be worthy of her confidence. “Would you like to prink a bit be- fore receiving vour caller?” Lillian asked mischievously, and I realized gratefully that with her usual tact she had changed the subject without any apparent effart to do so. “Oh, I don’t belicve William will be critical,” I returned as gayly. ‘Do bring him in at once.” Evidently William was waiting in the hospital corridor, for when Tillian returned from .the door he was follow- ing in her wake. And such a resplendent William! 1 could hardly control my risible mus- cles at the old chap's appearance. Where he had unearthed the different articles which composed his wardrobe I hadn't the slightest idea. His hat was of the type which Willlam would himself term but it was so frayed and dented and shiny, and of so ancient a vintage that I mentally put the performance at which it had made its debut a decade or so before. “He Saves Me Bargains.” His coat was a glaring plaid, his walstcoat and pleated shirt—both much worn—were of the conventional evening type, while his trousers were of the deadest, heaviest black stuff I'd ever seen. FHis shoes had once been tan, and the old fellow had evidently had them colored in some fashion, far they shone like varnish. He took off his anclent hat as he came through the door and bobbed his funny little bow at me, his face | fllled with pleasure at seeing me, and with pride in his get-up. “How do you do, William,” I said, shaking the old fellow's hand cordial- ly. “How nice vou look.” His face absolutely glowed. “Howdye, Mis' Gramie,” he re- turned. “This suit haint nuthin’. You should see some of the clothes I've got, but I couldn’t get ’em fixed up in time to come today.” His tone was that of an opulent sartorial light, yet I knew that the poor old chap’s coins were few. I walted, making no comment, sure that William’s laquacity would betray the secret in another moment or two. “Would you like to know where I git such.swell things, Mis’ Gramie?” he asked. “Of course, William,” T returned. “Well, there’s a feller in Jamaica keeps a second-hand store and pawn shop that I used to work for. He al-, ways saves me bargains and lets me work ’em aut. I worked pretty near two weeks for these things, hard, too. Of course, he give me my eats an’ let me sleep on the floor, so I wasn’t any- thing out except my work.” My heart was hot within me at the rapacity of the sécond-hand man who had exacted sa great a toll for the| bizarre clothing. I opened my lips to | remonstrate with William, to show | him his folly, then a sudden flash of | insight closed them effectually. ! Willlam's clothes made perfect hap- | piness for him. No price was too| great for him to pay when ane con-| | | wasn’'t Lilllan Un- sidered the result to him.

After some training in some stock com- panies he followed the path taken by | so many other famous actors of the plctured drama and entered the mov- Ing plcture fleld with Vitagraph, as an extra.

I always have her over whenever I go off anywhere, or even when I'm out for the evening.” So a young married friend of mine told me the other day. Though the mother of quite a brood of youngsters, she has not been at all subdued by maternity but loves to trot about with her husband. She had fust come back from one of the motor trips which they make several | times a year, and was all ready plan- ning a week-end visit to a friend in the country for the next week. Quite Perfect All Around. “And you know mother is so fond of the children,” she went on, “that I feel it’s a treat for her, so it's quite perfect all around.” As she beamed with self gratula- tion over the pleasantness ‘of her path, a little seene came before my mind’s eye. I had happened to he calling on the mother at the daughter's house one day just before the daughter and her husband were to start on a week's gypsying in the motor. They departed in a flurry of final instruc- tions from the daughter to see that Robert got his cough medicine and Amy didn’t run to school, and of re- assurances and good wishes for the grandmother. As she came back from waving good-bye at the window she said: *“It must be great fun to go off on a trip like that and never know where you are going to be at night.”” There was the least note of wistfulness in her voice but it van- ished as she went on, “I'm so glad | at the window Lucy isn’t tied down the way we used to be when our children were little.” | She Didn't Make Any Complaint | But— She aldn't say that dearly as she loved the children she would like sometimes to be going too, but the unconscious wistfulness of her voice said it for her. She married young, Ther were fairly limited and all through | her own motherhood she was tied down. She had never known the little Juxuries, the dinners and theaters and | trips that her daughter had so much | of. And now she is a grandmother | and plainly it never occured to her daughter that she might still enjoy a taste of such things. Why means Not 2 Real Frivolous Junket for 2 | | the Old Folks. 1 think it is one of youth's greatest mistakes to assume that when people are older they lose all taste for pleasure, to think they should be sat- | isfled if they have a comfortable | home, enough to eat and can go to | church and enjoy the grandchildren. These are the staples of life to be sure but the spice of life is a little | pleasure now and then. { The grandmother waving good-bye | was typical. Youth | is forever going off and waving good- bye to age at home. Why not change this onde in a while and take the old folks along for a real frivolous | pieasure junket? | THE MIDNIGHT TRAIJL FEATURE AT FOX'S Willlam Russell creates fun galore and also provides thrills aplenty in ““The Midnight Trail,” the 5-part comedy drama in which he is fea- tured at Fox's today with other short subjects, ‘Willlam Russell, in Trail,” tunities afforded him since his “The Midnight | has one of the best oppor- | con- | JOAN OF PLATTSBURG AT THE LYCEUM Those who saw Mabel Normand in Joan of Plattsburg yesterday admit that this is the newest triumph of the girl who . never disappoints. This ” of PLATTSBURG J\GOLDWYN PICTURES, nection with the screen drama be- gan. Mr. Russcll figures in this fas- cinating story as Jack Woodford, a voung New York millionaire who wants to add to his laurels by turn: ing amateur detective and cleaning up some of the unsolved mystertes of the metropolis. The story is one of nocturnal adventure with a strong vein of comedy which suits the pe- culiar ‘genius of this athletic young star admirably. One of the best little screen fights seen in some time oc- curs In “The Midnight Trail,” be- tween Harvey Faxon, the slinky sec- rotary and Bill Russell. The former has been a thorn in the side of Russell all during the action of the drama, and it is with evident de- light that he sets about choking the fellow into good behavior, after the “blowoff” comes in the midnight ad- venture Tomorrow’s big feature Hart, as “The Two Gun Man” In “The Bargain,” a six reel Wm. Hart production. It is one of the most virfle and strong characterizations of the Western bad man ever given by Mr. Hart. The picture is shown in six reels. It was produced by Thos. Ince, and reveals a dance hall and gambling scene which for realism, detailed work and character revela- tion has vet to be equalled in screen drama. The action of this picture is kept at top speed and the Story runs with the smoothness of delicate ma- chinery. In addition to Mr. Hart, a new Sunshine comedy cntitled ‘“Wild Women and Tame Lions” will be the added feature. Fox's Sunshine com- edies are not equalled, though often imitated on the screen, and ‘Women and Tame Lions” is promised to be the most side-splitting two-reel- er offered this season.
