I'd like to help her finish the job.” Madge Is Troubled. Alfred Durkee’s merry eyves glanced with a swift, inscrutable e pression.

I saw Alfred Durkee's eye- brows contract—infallible sign of his displeasure—and he looked toward Rita Brown with an expression far different from the admiring, almost infatuated, glances I had seen him give her but a few days before. If she had seen the glance I fancy even her rock-ribbed vanity might have re- ceived a shock, but she was occupied in gazing mockingly at Leila Fairfax, making her uncomfortable as possible. Little Mrs. Durkee pretty decision. “Nobody's going to stay but me, myself. Ask Alfred if I ever into my kitchen when my wherry jam is jamming. You've been a dear, Leila, but there isn't the slightest use of your staying with me And as for learning my way, vou know it already.

So run along and enjoy your ride. 1 was going to have a cold pick-up dinner, so it doesn’'t matter what time you get back. Stay as long as you like.” “Oh, we'll stop at some little wes- taurant for dinner,” Dicky said easily, with his usual disregard for the cost of any outing. I made a swift, dis- mayed, mental calculation of the probable cost of the evening, and traveled in rapid retrospection over several indications I had recently no- ticed of Dicky's attitude toward money, and thought again of the ex travagant car. 1 wondered wearily how 1 could best cope with this alarming tendency of my husband to live beyond our means. as interposed with just let VAUDEVILLE PALACE SUMMER PRICES TONIGHT, WEDNESDAY “BREAK THE NEWS TO MOTHER” A Beautiful Story of Heart Throbs. a War Not Picture, “RED GLOVE"” LKO COMEDY VAUDEVILLE BALL BROS 0.

The prologue shows a young woman of wealth and refinement who, because her husband is struggling with business in order to insure suc- cess for himself and herself, imag- ines that she is neglected. She is about to run aw with another man when her mother and a friend of the family whom she has always called aunt, tell her the story of their own lives. The three acts tell the story and at all times during the play there are two scenes on the stage, al- though by the use of spot lights the audience’s attention is directed to but one at g time and in this way the continuous parallel of the two fam- ilies in question is kept up. In brief, the story deals with a family of wealth and one of poverty. In both the husband striving for success but the wife imagines that she is neglected. In the case of the wealthy family however, the wife gives up the fisht and deserts her husband, causing his d2ath. In the other the lucky lit- tle wife rejects the attentions of a suitor and remains steadfast so that in the end she learns real happine! Subsequently the erstwhile wealthy woman comes to live with the other family as a companion and at last comes into what little happiness the world still has for her. In the epi- logue the dissatisfied girl sces the er- | Tor of her ways, is saved from her- self by the story she has just heard and as the final curtain drops her husband rushes in with the glad news that he has achieved succe: Unlike so many plays, the reason for the title—"Yes or No"—is evident throughout for this is the question that each of the three women is | called upon to answer definitely when tempted—*“Yes or No.” The Cormican Players present an augmented cast this week and all fit into their respective parts weil. Miss Antoinette Rochte is Auntie Phipps and Margaret Vane, the once wealthy woman who said when she should have said “No.” Nell, who is suved from herself, is Ethel Daggett and her mother, Mrs. Berry, is played by Miss Van Waldron. Desmond Gal- lagher lias the dual role of the tempt- er and the weak brother, and W. B. Read has a minor part, that of Nich- olas Rankin, Nell's husland. Comedy jected into the play by the part played by Mr. Cormican and Mrs Gleason, as Tom and Kittie. The Read children, Hazel and William, do their juvenile parts well and make a decidedly favorable impression on the audience. Other parts are taken follows: Donald Derrick, Jame William H.

It tells of the most beautiful love in the world— that of a mother for her child. In a small country town, Dave Bray lives with his widowed mother. To her that boy means everything in the world; she loves him with a love that is heyond comprehension. Dave wor- ships his little gray-haired mothe Her wishes are his commands—hc happiness his happiness So. when in a fit of fiable temper, too—he and attempts o strike his employer and loses his position, he goes back to for his reinstatement and of- fers an apology to the vinegar-heart- ed, pig-headed employe 11 because his mother had asked him to. Dave is in love with Ruth Godwin, daustiter of Howard Godwin, owner of the Godwin Iron Works, the factory in which he is working. Warren Flint, his superintendent and employ- er, is in love with her also, but his love is not reciprocated. Dave and Flint get into an argument over Ruth the night Dave goes to ask for the return of his position. Flint draws a revolver, there is a tussle and Flint falls to the floor. Dave believes he is the guilty man. He flees—far away from home-—and his mother. A won- derful story! See the struggles of the mother-heart, and the return of her boy, a sadder and a wiser man. The vaudeville bill offered is of an excellent character and includes vaudeville's funniest act, Ball Broth- ers Company, with special scenery. Young and Dow entertain with songs and stories, and Shepard and Ott offer music, songs and dances. Taken all in all, this bill is one of the best offered at the Palace in some time.

Those who delight in the modern dances are looking forward with great pleasure to the series to be conducted three evenings this week by the man- agment of Laurel Park and it is a certainty that the realization will be quite as keen as the anticipation, for nothing has been left undone to assura the success of the big event. The dances will be held tonight, Thursdav and Saturday evenings, which are the This week, however, will bring numer- innovations. Among the many features will be Hatch's orchestra of 15 musicians introducing several nov- elties, including the cathedral chimes, the xophone, the marinbaphone. cte. From now until the close of the season there will be special programs every week. Every Sunday afternoon there is a band concert at the park, | while on Sunday evenings the latest | and Dbest productions of the moving picture world are shown. The park may be reached by trolley or auto- mobile. The roads are of the latest improved {vpe and the trip from Hartford takes only ten minutes. Boating, merry-go-'round and swings are all enjoved at their hest at the park. The restaurant serves dainty, home-cooked food and the water is all drawn from the park’s artesian well.

An exceptionally well balanced pro- gram opened at iFox’s vesterday, and will continue through the first half of the week. In addition to the two big photoplay features and an entertain- ing variety of shorter film subjects, a complete change of vaudeville brought four brisk and popular acts to N Britain It was a 1oss-up between f{he Kiddies and William Russell for honors on the screen. The former ap- peared in one of their most captivat- comedy dramas called *“American Buds, and Russell was seen as the stalwart ‘exas Ranger in “When a Man Rides Alone.” A Harold . Lloyd comedy entitled “‘Just Neighbors,” and the latest edition of the Pathe News are among the other pictures on the program Wholesome . striking dra- matic action, an interesting love story and a very plausible and illumi- nating expase of spy activities in the army are phases of the last-moving production “American Buds,” the star- ring vehicle of the Lee Kiddies. They play the part of orphans who are sud- denly transferred for some mysterious reason, from their orphanage to the humming activity of an army post There they manage with all their us- ual naivete to get themselves and evervhody around them into numerous embarrassing scrapes, which give rise to howls of laughter. “When a Man Rides Alone” has for its theme the fearlessness and dare- devil bravery that has given the Texas Rangers such prominent place in American history. It tells the story of the efforts of Mexican outlaws to ob- tain forcible possession of a mule-back shipment af gold ore, which has been entrusted to the guardianship of Cap- tain Bonfire. The story is full of strong heart interest situations, and finishes with a brilliantly startling cli- max. Four entertaining and satisfying new acts of vaudeville include the Great Nickelson, May and Dufor, Clark and Harris and Loy Harrah and company. LITTLE DABS OF FRESHENING It isn’t very®hard to keep your sum- mery things dainty, even when the thermometer is 'way up high. And you feel so much better, knowing your friends will be refreshed by vour ap- pearance. A good foundation for that “freshly laundered” appearance is some such list as this: An electric iron, perhaps the small boudoir variety, an ironing board, a bottle of benzin, another of household ammonia, a long piece of old muslin, a heavy bath towel, a nail brush, a sponge and soap, preferably in flake Now—Ilet’s suppose in a sumer rain flurry. Your suit damp and wrinkled. When you get home, get out the ironing board and press. A suit skirt should be pressed on the wrong side, with a damp cloth over it. If the seams show, after this, put a damp cloth over them, on the right side, and press them very light- i Lee first ing comedy you are caught is Again, the same skirt may become shiny from constant wear. Then sponge it with warm water and vine- gar, one tablespoonful of vinegar to a glass of water, on the right side. Press it in the usual way, on the wrong side. Your georgette, wash satin, or or- gandie waists—is it ever difficult to keep them looking new, after washing. With delicate rubbing between the hands, in warm water and a lather of soap flakes, afterwards rinsing care- fully in at least twa waters, no harm should be done, provided you finish the process as carcfully as you begin. Wrap the waist easily in a Turkish towel, leave it for a little while—no longer than it takes to heat an irou, if you wish—and press it with a mod- erately hat iron until it is dry. When the lining of a heavier waist or frock has become soiled at the neck and across the shoulders, take it from the frock, and put it over a fold of Turkish towel, on the iraning board. With a nail brush and a lather of soap flakes, scrub the soiled parts gently, changing the towel frequently so that the lining may lay upon dry cloth Rinse with the brush, dipped in clear water, until the soap is removed. Let the lining dry before pressing it Of course silk or washable kid gloves are easiest washed on the hands, dried with a towel a little be- fore removing, and then left to finish drying on a paper. But when a wash- ble kid glove gets a soiled spot or atin on it, which will nat come oft this way, brush it carefully with an old tooth brush—very carefully—Ilest vou roughen the kid. *Phone 1000 MATINF INESDAY THURSDAY AND SATURD.
