HOLDING A HUSBAND Adeile Garrison’s New Phase of Revelations of a Wife Why Dr. Pettit Was Not Obeyed. It would have been a far less ob- sorvant driver than Dr. Pettit who could have overlooked Marion at the cross roads where Sam Ticer had fhald we could Intercept the young i} physician. Without waiting to as- certaln the “ideatity of the runabout’s ooccupants, she had taken off her shade hat and had begun to wave it wildly about her head as the car ped toward us, shouting shrilly the while: “Oh, Dr. Pettit!

That she was the typé of girl to whom anything un- usual is as meat and drink was plainly to be seen from her eager posture as she watched us. When Dr. Pettit recogniaed us, as he did almost instantly, he muttered a hasty apology to the girl at his side as mechanical as the meve- ments with which he slipped the car's gear into natural, and pulled up the emergency brake. Then he descend- ed hastily to the road, strode over to me and held out his hand. rs. Graham wonderingly. “What is it? have need of me? Ah! Marfon!" He gave the child a smillag nod, then turned his eyes questioningly back to my face. I told him as briefly as possible of the urgent need of his services in the Ticer dooryard to which the woman tully put annoyed. A Spring Tonic! Here’s Where Your Rugs and Carpets Get New Life!

A quick, comptehending nod, a stern look in his eyes as he listened prefaced a hurried sen- tence. “T know. T've had to sew up that brute’s handiwork before. I'll run right down. But—it is no place for you or the child or—" he indi- cated the girl in the other car, who was gazing fixedly at us. “I wonder If of your goodness, you would take her into your ear, then I could rush ahead and you could follow when all the unpleasantness has been cleared away.” A Stubborn Girl. That the girl had heard him was clearly evident by the perturbed look which flashed over her ex- pressive face, followed by a stub- born setting of her lips. She leaned forward, her eyes brilliant, spark- Hng. “Indeed, Dr. Pettit, you cannot dispose of me so summarily ! she cried gayly. “You know I'm per- fectly wild to see some of your real eases. I've been ladylike and smiled sweetly at fixed-up- convales- cents just as long as I can. That isn't seeing the seamy side of a phy- sician’s work.” Dr. Pettit smiled reluctantly, sort of half-exasperated, half-in- dulgent smile one gives to a charm- ing but spoiled chila. An Exclamination. “Mrs. Graham,” the he sald, “this is Miss Foster, a most unreasonable western girl, who has come East to finish or begin her education, an.l who has been under my care through a severe illness and its convalescence.

I will follow you, however, for I do not think I care to compete in any driving contest with you. I saw your speed com- ing down the road.” He lifted his hat a bit stiffly. “As you please, of course,” he said formally, got into his car, the motor of which he had left.running, and in another second or two was on his way to Ticer's. I followed not quite so swiftly as he, but I.must confess that I sent my car along the road at a far more rapid pace than wusual. I turned into the Ticer dooryard just as with coat off and sleeves rolled up, Dr. Pettit was scrubbinb his hands in a basin of hot, soapy water which Mrs. Ticer had placed upon an improvised bench near where the injured woman lav upon a mattress which I sur- mised had come from Mrs. Ticer's belongings. I saw that he was watching the moaning woman in- jtently, but not more searchingly than was Miss Foster, whose bright eves were evidently finding the ex- ])nhn of the “seamy side” of a phy- sician’'s work intensely infterestins. 11is hands serubbed to his satis- faction, the physiclan knelt by the injured woman.

(‘nelfl, Mass. 0 i i e MAY 7, 1021, CHORAL SOCIETY ARTISTS SCORE Judson House, tenor, and Fred Patton, bass, who have been engaged by the New Britain Choral society for stheir spring festival concert were heard at Foot Guard hall, Hartford, last Wednesday evening where they appeared as soloists with the Treble Clet club, in Coleridge Taylor's “A Tale of Old Japan,” and in song groups. Their singing was of such high cal- ibre that the members of the New SUE HARVARD Soprano. Britain Choral society, who were privileged to hear these artists are congratulating themselves that they have been secured to simg with the local society. Judson House disclosed a magnifi- cent tenor voice, lovely in quality, rich in tone, color and robust, vet so well controlled that the singer can bring his tone down to, the softest pianissimo. His singing of the well known ballad, “I Hear You Calling Me,” was a delight and rivalled that of the famous McCormack, who has immortalized this song. Mr. House was: forced to respond to a double encore so insistent was the applause of his audience. The reception given Mr. Patton was no less enthusiastic than that accord- ed Mr. House. Patton has a glorious bass baritone tVoice, deep and reso- nant, which he uses with the greatest skill. His excellent diction and fine phrasing, his great care for the little details, mark him as a true artist. Sue Harvard, of the Metropolitan Opera Co., who will sing the so- prano role in “The Creation” has not been heard in this immediate vi- cinity. She has sung the Oratorio several times and on the occasion of its recent performance in Brooklyn, N. Y., she was given a reception for her beautiful singing that reached the proportion of an ovation. GOOD VAUDEVILLE—FOX A really good vaudeville bill will be brought to a close at Fox's tonight, as will the showing of that excellent western picture, fom Mix in “Hands off."” Miss Margie Carson, by far the best single act seen at Fox's this year, leads in getting the applause. She sings excellent character songs, dem- onstrates a voice of wide range and sings in tenor, base, contralto and so- prano. Another very good act is Pauli and De Haven. They have a real comedy novelty which is a bur- lesque on the hold-up man, the di- vorce evil, love making and also has some good dancing interwoven. Rus- sell and Russell are also good enter- tainers. They open with several xylophone selections, sing a few songs, the male member dances a bit and exhibits -real cleverness in juggling Indian clubs He is a Scotchman, but puts over some réal jokes. At the end their little daughter earns her skhare of applause with some cute antics. The other act is Douglas Flint and company in a one act comedy drama, ‘‘Crouch Gregory.” Two men and a woman put on this act, which has its comical po!gu without getting silly. Monday a nmew vaudeville bill will be shown. AT THE LYCEUM. “Fickle Women,”” an all star cast feature picture, will head the photo- play program at the Lyceum theater, Sunday evening.
