It ws too costly and, having just slipped through high school by the skin of her teeth, she knew trying to work her way through college would be useless. She hadn’t a good enough foundation, Anyhow to ou the younger children were becoming more expensive every day and any money that she might earn was needed. | So Nell went to work and every Saturday her money was turned over to her mother to help with the general expenses.

Somehow Mrs. Ladybug's missed her. The orchard seemed quite a different place after she vanished inside the farmhouse to stay there all winter long. In spite of her sharp tongue and her prying ways people discovered—now that she was gone— that they had liked Mrs. Ladybug more than they knew. While she was with them in the or- chard they 1 often wished she wouldn't ask so many questions. But now the days seemed very long with- out Mrs. Ladybug to inquire how and why and when and where. And then—then a rumor flashed from lip to lip all the way cross the arden and the orchard and the meadow: *“Mrs. Ladybug is back again! She didn't stay in the farm- house a week."” And sure enough! the rumor proved to be true. Mrs. Ladybug, looking rather foolish, appeared in her old haunts among the apple trees. She acted as if something had occurred to upset her. And though she seemed glad to be greeted by all her old companions, she didn’t want them to ask her a single question as to why she hadn’t spent the whole winter, instead of only one week of early fall, in Farmer Green's house. If she thought her neighbors weren't going to question her she was sadly mistaken. Only a little while before they had asked her a thousand and one ques- tions about where she was going to live during the winter. And now they were all just as curious to know why had returned.

DOMESTIC LABOR 1S SHORT IN NEW YORK Maids and Butlers Prefer Outside| Work This Year New York, Sept. 27.—Domestic la- bor is so scarce in New York that in thousands of homes, normally well supplied with servants, the mistress is doing her own housekeeping. Maids and butlers are said by employment bureaus to prefer being out of work to taking jobs at less than the high wage scales prevailing last year. Of many reasons advanced by em- servants and employers to agree, one of tho most common is that prospec- ve maids seek work only because eir husbands are jobless and are re- fused places because prospective em- plovers will not consider applicants for temporary positions. Prevailing wage scales are said by employment agencies to be: Cooks, $50 to $70 a month: general house- workers, $40 to $50: chambermaids, $50 to $60. Japanese butlers command £100 to $125 a month with board and lodging. —_— The longest of Shapespeare’s plays is “Hamlet,” with 3930 lines. In Switzerland the poppy is a love token.

WHO MADE TWO HOMERS YESTERDAY AT LYCEUM The great “Babe’” Ruth whaled out two homers in the Yank-Cleveland tus terday, but at the Lyceum the “colossus of the Swat’ also nailed the leather-covered spherc for tripa around tho circuit. Ruth is an artist of the silvershect and he enacts a re- markablae role in the motherliest story ever told. “Headin' Home.” The star scores a tremendous hit as mother's boy, and he uses his great bat as a club shaping the destiny of himsel! and_ fellows. There are thrills, laughs, pathos,—in all, action typifies tha mil- lion dollar drama. It is a romantically human interest picture. The crowd: lined out around the New Britain Na- tional Bank last evening. Hoyt's Revue have an unusual act in their laughable show, *“Put and Take.”” It is a sort of shadowplay, only the outlines of the actors and actresse: can be seen. A great part! Really this Revuc is a top liner in musical com- edy. There’s nothing detrimental to the finer instincts of human nature put on the stage. Over an hour of solid entertainment.

Securing $30,000 worth of furnitura for a single interior setting and then smashing the outfit beforc the camera produces photoplay realism, but at a well-nigh prohibitive cost. Yet that is what Cecil B. DeMille did in his Par- amount production, *“The Affairs of Anatol.” The setting in question serves as = background i>r a part of the story portrayed by Wallace Reid, Gloria Swanson, Elliott Dexter, Bebe Daniels. Wanda Hawley, Theodore Roberts and other all-star players. It is an ultra- luxurious apartment and Howard Hig- gin, production manager for Cecil B. DeMille productions, was instructed to spare no.expense. At the climax of this episode, Wal- lace Reid was instructed to run amuck, smashing everything breakable in the set. Tho orders were comprehensive and Reid obeyed them to the letter.

Using the small pieces of furniture as bludgeons, Reid shattered everything in sight while the camera clicked just out of range of his blow: Mirrors, lamps, chairs, phonozraph and piano were demolish- ed one by one. As a conclusion to the scene, the husky star seized the huge overstaffed divan and hurled it bodily through the French doors at one en¢ of the set. FARNUM AND CHAPL AND VAUDEVILLE, FOX'S, Fox's patrons vesterday afternoon iast night and this afternoon were treated to two big feature pictures, | showinz Dustin Farnum and Chjriie Chaplin, and also four vaudeville acts that pleased. The big act & Frank Sidney and company in a whirlwind of ensation. His feats of agility and the urprising turns which his act takes hold the audience breathless. Cecil and Mack, male and female téam, bring a good collection of jazz, one or ‘\vo amusing monologists and some intricate dance steps, while Rector and Lee, two girls, swish through their number with a breezy syncopation that adds to the charm of their songs. Al- bin and Kenney have an acrobatic act which makes their watchers preathe hard for them. In “The Primal Law,” Dustin Far- num has the role of a whole-hearted westerner who fights a man’s fight against crookedness and wrong and, of course. wins the girl of his dreams. Charlie Chaplin as usual evokes no “ittle mirth with his antics in “The Bank,” a typical Chaplin comedy. The Fox News brings the News of the day before the eyes of the watchers.
