The rare beauty, the imperi- s ways, the touch of diablerie of the ace Draper type of girl would al- vs spell danger, at least temporar for me. But our marital love had athered one such test, and I reso- ely shut my eyes to the possibility another.

Because of this I had not discussed the matter with Mother Graham at all, and, curiously enough, she had said noth- ing to me on the subject.

If he returned in time, I promised myself, I wonld make a little fete and gather around the first birthday cake Lillian and her little daughter Marion, the Durkees, and—I included the Fairfax sisters with a wry face. Not that 1 objected to Leila in the least, but I had not yet reached the pinnacle of mental peace where I could contemplate with perfect equenimity the inclusion of FRdith Fairfax in so intimate a family circle. But I could not invite one sister without the other, and I shrewdly guessed that Alfred Durkee had reached the stage where he would not enjoy any occasion—let alone one so prosaic as a baby's birthday celebra- tlon—without having Leila Fairfax among those present, and that, on the other hand, any place where he coul: see and talk to her was pleasant enough without providing any other attraction. My spirits were at a.low ebh, how- ever, as I arose ahd dressed, with in- finite care not to make any noise. | Wa possible that Dicky meant to carry out his determination not to return home, and that he would let | our little son's first birthday go by without a sign?

But 1 knew that mother, my father, Katie and Jim must share in the day's joy, and if they were there, I had no objection to—in fact, would welcome warmly— the presence of such tried-and-true friends as Lillian and the Durkees. Obviously, however, I could not invite these friends, dear as they were, without Dicky. T gave a little, subdued exclamation of anger at my husband’s obstinacy. There was but one thing to be done, however. 1 would go ahead, except for notifying Lillian and the Durkees, upon the assumption that Dicky coming home. Then, at the minute, T could telephone them, relented and surprised us. I completed my toilet | my bureau, taking from gingham working apron pletely covered my gown.

It creates the atmosphere of the play and be- comes a sort of appropriate/ musical commentary on the pathetic story of love and sacrifice that the drama tells. “The Bird of Paradise” is one sort of sad play that the public never shuns. When the theme is merely sordid and depressing they have no patience with it but there is always an appeal in the devotion of a butter- fly or the sacrifice of a Luana, or the heart hunger of a Madame X.

The Palace is ofrertng as the big photoplay feature for Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday, a picturization of Za)e Grey's world famous story, “The Rovder Legion.” “The most virile production of the year,” thus did the New York critics and public proclaim this remarkable picturization of Zane Grey's gripping story, when the pow- érful action drama of the West, star- ring Blanche Bates and Hobart Bos- worth, scored an instantaneous and continued triumph in it week's pre- sentation at Phe Strand theater in New York. In her brilliant debut on the screen Miss Bates' performance this feature unquestionably equals any of her world-famed achievements | on the speaking stage, not excepting even her portrayal in “The Girl of the Golden West,” her first Belasco success.
