There was real emotion in Leila’'s voice, as she ful- filled my prediction and hugged her mother-in-law tighter than ever. “I'm not the one to hug."” Little Mrs. Durkee's vofce came muffled and distressed, but with a distinct note of glad relief in it, from Leila embrace “T don't beliee TI'a ever have thought of it by myself. And Lillian and Madge and Edith have worked like horses to get it ready. Lillian. especially. She went to New York on the early train this morning, shopped like mad, returned at noon and has been going it ever since. I should think she'd be ready to drop.” “Do I look as if I were ready for the ministrations of a trained nurse?” Lallian demanded challengingly. “Stop your nonsense, Kitten; take your bow gracefully, and let's have something to eat. I'll bet these folks are starving. I know I am.” “Oh-h !" the little hostess cried. “If those things are burning ! Edith, will you seec to Leila and help her with her things?" She scurried down the stairs as a girl of 16 might have done. I looked at Lillian with admiring eyes. She had diverted her hostess’ attention, had saved a situation which might have become too emotional, and had disclaimed credit—all in a sentence.

Never, never—" He rushed Lillian's little daughter down the stairs as if he had been her !own age, and whatever nonsensical plece of advice he was giving her was lost in the child's peals of laughter. Lillian and I, more sedate- ly following, smiled at each other, not so much at the sound of their mirth, but at the unconscious hit Ricky had made in his nonsensical adieu. “I think that'll hold dear Edith for awhile,” Lillian sald with a little click of her teeth, which told me that for some reason or other her dislike for Bdith was as intense as her liking for Leila was sincere. squeal At Look sho called, L] ght wround at what mother then she put her mother- AN Precious “I never darling,” she said had such a beau- prise in my life.

LAST CHANCE TO SEE “CIVILIAN CLOTHES” Tonight is the last chance to sce ‘*Civ n Clothes,”’ the screen portrayal of the brilliant stage comedy that took Broadway by storm and which has tak- en Fox theater patrons by storm this week. The story, well filmed, is a good one. In brief: They met in the Argonne under fire. A romantic girl and a big, Yankee captain. Met and loved and secretly married. 3ut when the war glamour faded and her hero .'mpn:u*Fd in her aristocratic home in a loud suit of hand-me-down civies she didn’t rush to lay her head on his rain- bow necktie. So Fighting Sam Mec- Ginnis opened a new attack, became her father's butler, hurjbled her, maddened her, trained her; until one night she crept into his room and—they lived happy ever after. The Fantomas serial, an Outing Travelogue, Sunshine comedy and a news reel are also on tne screen. Tomorrow there will change of movies and vaudeville, tonight the vaudeville bill, and a good one too, will consist of Lew Rice, a black faced comedian, lately with a minstrel troupe; Arch and Vedder, sing- ing and dancing with some tart male nad fcmale repartee, Keane, Adams and Knight in a little drama sketch, ‘‘An Irish Courtship’” and the farce comedy aci ‘‘Racing Days—Just Before Iost Time, presented by four male per- formers. SUNDAY VAUDEVILLE, A six-act vaudeville show, coupled with two feature pictures, will be pre- sented at the Lyceum theater Sunday afternoon by Walter J. Smith post, V. of F. W. Since the city has not seen fit to give money toward quar- ters for the ex-service men, this post has gone about to raise the necessary funds itself and this entertainment is the first step. The proceeds will be used for this purpose. Owing to the complexity of the law, no tickets can be sold on Sunday aft- ernoon so all tickets must be pur- chased in advance. MARTIN’S FOLLIES SHOW AT LYCEUM Among the specialties in ‘“Love Island,” the musical comedy of Mar- tin’s Footlight Follies, which Will be shown tonight for the last time with a change of program tomorrow, are instrumental solos of a jazz char- acter. The Southern beauty chorus in the company is said to be the best of its kind of any of the companies which have been here thus far this season. The chorus sings well, wears attrac- tive wardrobe and supports the principals with plenty of action. Some thrilling adventures not in the scenario were encountered by Mae Murray, David Powell and the other players who are appearing in “The Right to Love,” the Paramount picture at the Lyceum the second half of the week, starting tomorrow. This film has a Turkish setting and to obtain just the right kind of at- mosphere, George Fitzmaurice, the producer, took the whole company to Florida. He received permission to make scenes in a large house of Moor~ ish design, located on one of the Florida keys and one of the show places of that region. x Alice Lake will be seen for the last time tonight in ‘Budy and Soul,” a photo play with a French sotting. be a complete | but | — | “DINTY” AT THR PALACE. THREE SHOWS DAILY. ' One of the best attractions of a decade will be the entertainment of- | fering at the Palace theater on Thurs- | day, Friday and Saturday. It is “Dinty,” in which Marshall Neilan presents Wesley Barry, the freckle- faced boy actor, in the first starring vehicle of his youthful career. It l\s[ the tale of 'a fighting newsboy, who has an old Irish mother to support. San Francisco’s picturesque China- | town is the locale for some of the scenes, and the photoplay is replete with dramatic as well as amusing in- cidents. Wesley Barry's smiles, free- kles and inimitable acting made him famous in “Daddy Long Legs'’ with Mary Pickford, and “Don’'t Ever Marry” and “Go and Get It,”” but his crowning achievement has undoubt- edly been made in “Dinty.”” Thera | will be three showa daily. BIG KEITH VAUDEVILLE BILL AT PALACE. The Keith vaudeville bill for the last half of the week features the merry musical comedy, “Maid for Love,” with a cast of singers, danc- ers and pretty girls. Other acts in- eclude Emma O’'Neil. a singing comed- jenne; Ruddell and Dunnigan, “the i classy pair,”” and Smith and Allen, a | clever couple. There will be three ‘ continuous shows daily. i THE PASSION FLOWER. Nance O'Neil in “The Passion | Flower,” is the attraction at Parsons’ i theater Friday and Saturday with a matinee both days. Prior to the pre- ‘senmtlon of “The Passion Flower,” | with Nance O’Neil in the role of Rai- ‘munda at the Belmont theater in | New York, Jacinto Benavente, the author, was comparatively unknowm. True, the Washington Square Play- ers had done one of his short plays ‘at the Comedy theater in New York, but the atmosphere so essential to the plays of this master dramatist {was totally lacking, and it required jonly a fortnight to prove it a fail- ure. Two years later, the theater lGuild. which later did St. John Ir- vine’'s “John Ferguson,” ' made a { commendable production of one of | his fanciful spectacular comedies. But I Bonavente is essentially a dramatist, {not a writer of comedy, and “The | Passion Flower” is the most power- { ful drama from his pen. It was only after this play had been produced {under the management of Richard | G. Herndon, and Miss O'Neil had i triumphed in the leading role, that the man and his work became known. I —————— T ———— wre————— THE INDIANS KNEW. [ A famous physician stated that; more women might find relief from suffering through taking a medicine | like Lydia E. Pinkham’'s Vegetable Compound than through undergoing surgical operations, if they would only take it in time. At the first sign of female weakness, as indicated by backache, dullness, bearing down pains and nervous exhaustion, take; this famous remedy of roots and herbs and avoid the serious consequences of delay. \ The Indians and early settlers knew and benefited by Nature's Allies, the roots and herbs of the field. Because Lydia E. Pinkham knew their medi- cinal value, thousands of women all over the world have ‘been saved from operations, but only such as have taken it in time. STEWING DRIED FRUIT. When stewing dried fruit it is an economy of time and fuel if two pounds or more are cooked at a time. Of course the amount depends entire- ly on the size of one’s family, but i the idea is to cook more than'enough | for just one meal at a time. After the fruit is cooked it may be put into sterilized pint jars and sealed and kept indefinitely. Menu for Tomorrow. Breakfast—Stewed dried apricots, broiled bacon, scrambled eggs, brown bread toast, coffee. Luncheon—Creamed baked potatoes, and orange jam, tea. Dinner—Liver and bacon, mashed Potatocs, baked onions, jellied tomato salad, cherry pudding, coffee. My Own Recipes. Apricots are a rather tart fruit and therefore especially acceptable in dried beef, bran bread, rhubarb | the spring when the appetite is a bit jaded. 1t is always a good plan to serve a fruit that is rather acid when bacon makes the breakfast. Rhubarb and Orange Jam. Two cups finely cut rhubarb, 8 oranges, 2 cups granulated sugar. Remove the outer stringy part of the rhubarb and cut in tiny pieces. There should be 2 cups. Remove the rinds from oranges, scrape off as much of the white part as possible and cut in shreds. Take the pulp out of the skin and put pulp, shredded rind, rhubarb and sugar into pre- serving kettle. Bring slowly to the boiling point. Skim carefully and boil until the jam thickens when a little is tested on a cold saucer. Fill jelly glasses with jam. When cold cover with paraffine and store in a dry, cool place. Jellied Tomato Salad. Two cups canned tomatoes, 3 cloves, 1 bay leaf, 1 slice onion, cel- ery leaves, 1 tablespoon granulated gelatine soaked in 1-4 cup cold wa- ter. Stew tomatoes, cloves, onion and celery for 20 minutes. Strain and add the gelatine, which has been in the water for 10 minutes. Stir until the gelatine is dissolved and pour into small cups to set. When bay leaf, i ready to serve unmold and serve on a bed of lettuce with French dress- ing or mayonnaise. (Copyright, 1921, N. E. A.)
