[ something else in those “ some sweh reparation stunt as MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison’s New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE ‘Why Dicky Stopped the “Reparation Stunt” Madge Planned For 1 Bess Dean. “If T can wear them !" Bess Dean repeated my words with a venomous ¢little tang in her voice. Oh, I don't belleve I'll have any trouble in keep- ing them on. Sneakers arg so secure- ly fastened that they do not usually slip off even if loose.” I did not need the inflection in her voice to tell me that I had scored heavily in the queer little below-sur- face duel between us, by my casual assent. to her request to borrow my sneakers, with the proviso if she could wear them. Her cheek a flush of anger, her eyws stilétto points, and that temporarily lost her smol knew by her comeback te my thrust. Bess Dean is clever enough to have uttered - something far @Mferent than the rambling retort she ¥ad made to the little speech which I would have given much to recall Baca: of its banality. she Dicky’s Raillerw. But it had served its purpose well in goading her, a purpose which Y realized lay beneath the surface of my emotions, but which consta was thrusting itself into my con- seious actions. Why is it, .I wonder, in this day of feminine emancipation, that one of the.surest svays to make the average woman angry is to insin- uate that her size in shoes is larger than other women of approximately the same weight and height? ‘T saw Mrs. Cosgrove bite her lips to hide a smile, and in Lillian’s eyes there glinted a swift amusement at the girl's evident anger, but I read clear eyes— &-disapproval of my petty cattiness. In Lillian’s estimation I knew that for. the fnoment I had forgotten to play the game. Dicky's voice struck in with the careless, half-mocking inflection he almost imvariably uses in talking to Miss Dean. “You might stuff the toes with a pound or two of cotton,” he drawled, “or if Mrs. Cosgrove will lend me her clothesline I'll tie them on with pleces of that, provided you find they Wwon't stay.on alone. Funny I never realized before what a Cinderella foot you have, Miss Dean.’ I thought my. spouse’s tooties took the cake and the pie in that “direction. But we live and learn. Madge, I warn you, P'm the original glass slipper gentlerhan. When I find a girl with a foot: smaller than yours well>-I won't break your heart right here before everybody by telling you the probable consequences. But take a tip from the Chinese and begin to bind vour feet right away today, that is, if you value my fealty.” & Madge’s; Obangé of Heart. Through the chagrih I felt at Hav- ing belittled myself by the feline. lit- tle speach which had started this raillery. there orept & tiny thrill ‘of triumph. Dicky, who always has Been absurdly proud of my rather small feet, had taken my side in the undercurrent duel between Bess Dean and me. He could not have ex- pressed his disbelief in her ability to get on my shoes more strongly than by this moccing assent to her claim. With the triumph came a sudden distaste for the controversy, and I cast about for means to avoid the humiliation’ which I was sure Bess Pean would feel when she tried to put on my sneakers. With a sudden femembrance of an extra pair of the €omfortable footgear which I once Had bought without trying on, that had proved a size too large, and which 1 had brought with me for a possible emergency, 1 rose to my fest, resolved to make things easy fow the girl “T'1l get the shoes right away, Bess,” I sald with nonchalant friend- Mness. “I suppose you'll want to make an early start.” “Thanks so much” she returned Wwith careful amiabflity. “What about eats?” As I left the room I heard Dicky expatiating upon the joys of a picnic hamper, eaten in a certain pavilion, Which an enterprising garage owner Znrnished for the comfort of automo- dile tourists, and at which really g00d coffee and tea could be obtathed, 1 sped upstairs, rummaged in my trunk, found the extra sneakers, which I was sure would fit Bess Dean, furned to the door again, and met Dicky in the doorway, He glanced &t the shoes in my bhand, then held eut his hand for them with a quizzi- enl e ‘I gave them to him, and @ held them up, gazed at them critically, and then looked my feet. “1 thought 50,” he said with a grin .1 remember you had these, and was sure your New England con- science would prompt you to ke this. I'm at But nothing doing, old dear! not saying you were especially club- by in that meataxe swing you gave the lady about the shoes in the first place—your foot work is usually more nifty—but as long as the thing’s started we'll just play it out as is, And I do not choose to have that damosel get away with any claim che fsn't entitled to. If she can get your eneakers on, well and good, but we won’t hand her anything on a plat- ter like these.” He tossed the shoes dfsdainfully to the side of the room and obedient- Iy I produced my own sneakers and DANCING TONIGHT -AT DANCELAND followed with an heart. my liege unholy lord downistairs little joy at ‘WHY THE ROOSTER CROWED. Henrietta Hen had commanded the Rooster to wait until daylight before he began to crow. He saw that she had made up her mind that he must obey her. But he knew -he couldn’t. And he always took great pains to be polite to the ladies. It was a wonder the Rooster didn't turn red in the face. He had never found himself in such a corner be- fore. “You don't undrstand,” he blurted. “T'd be delighted to oblige you, but if I didn’t crow until after the sun rose I'd never crow again!’ “We could stand that,” was Hen- rietta Hen's grim reply. “Perhaps!” he admitted—for she made him feel strangely humble. “But could you stand it if the night lasted forever?” “You're talking nonsense now,” she declared. “You don’t understand,” he told her “Great cracked cornl” he exclaimed. again. *“And I must say I'm sur- prised, madam, that you didn’t know it was I that wakéd the sun up every mornlng That's why I crow so early.” Henrietta Hen -was g0 astonished that she @didn’t know what to say. She thought deeply for a time—or as deeply as she could. “Have you not noticed,” the Roos- ter inquired, ‘“that the sun never rises until I've crowed loudly a good many times?” “No! No—I haven't,” Henrietta Hen murmured. '“But now that you speak of it, I see that it's so. “Exactly!” he said. *“And often, madam, I have to crow a long time before he peeps-over Blue Mountain. It's lucky I have a good, strong voice,” the Rooster added with a smirk, for he was feeling more at his ease. “If I had a thin, squeaky crow such as those worthless cockerels have, Farm- er Green would have to do many a day's work in the dark.” ‘‘Goodness!” Henrietta Hen gasped. “Do crow your loudest the moment: you wake up, Mr. Rooster! Do make all the noise you can!" And he promised faithfully that he would. \ Henrletta left him then. Somehow she couldn’t get thefr talk off her mind. And soon she had an un- happy thought. What if anything should happen to the Rooster’s voice? The moment that question popped into her head, Henrietta Hen hur- ried back to the Rooster. “Do be careful!” sho besought him. “Don’t get your feet wet! For if you caught cold you might be so hoarse “HOTEL DELUXE” A Smart Musieal Comedy of Today. “FINE FEATHERS” my | 3 (at the sky.

And it wasn't long after that when she came bustling up to him and informed him that a warm muffler about his throat wouldn't be amiss. There seemed to be no end to Her suggestions. And though at first the Rooster hau liked to hear them (with- ott having any idea of following them) after a time Henrietta's at- tentions began to annoy him.

Re- move seeds and bake about an hour in a moderate oven. Remove from shell, mash and season with salt and pepper and butter. Squash makes quite as good pies as pumpkin. Bake it or boil it and rub through a colander. Squash Pie. One cup cooked and.sifted squash, % cup sugar; 1 1-4 cups milk, tablespoon melted butter, T egg; teaspoon salt, 1-4 teaspoon ginger; teaspoon lemon juice. Mix sugar, salt, ginger and lemon juice with squash. Add melted but- ter and egg slightly beaten. Stir in milk slowly. Pour into a pin pan lined with pastry and bake in a slow oven after the first five minutes. The oven should be hot when the pie is put in in order to bake the crust. Scalloped Squash. Two cups squash, 1 cup ecracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper, 1 egg (optional), milk. This is good if the squash is in- clined to be watery. Boil or bake the squash and rub through a sieve. Mix with crumbs, butter, salt and pepper and beat well. If necessary add milk to make moist. Add egg and beat till light. Turn into a buttered baking dish and bake twenty minutes in a hot oven. A little grated cheese sprinkled over liarly an au- tumn vegetable. . It ripens late in the season and will keep for several months in a dry cool place. A good winter squash should have a very, hard shell { and be heavy in proportion to its size. As squash is a starchy vege- table the remainder of a meal in- cluding squash should be scanty in| starch. | The simplest way and perhaps thal most satisfactory is to bake squash. If a squash is a bit watery baking is the only thing to do. If very Aary, crack the shell, cut in pieces con- venient to handle, remove shell and seeds and cut in dices. Put in stew the top adds much to the dish. Squash Croquettes. Two cups sifted and cooked squash, % cup nuts, 1 tablespoon butter, salt (and pepper. Mix all ingredients. small balls and roll in drfd bread crumbs. Dip in egg slightly beaten with 1 tablespoon milk, roll again in crumbs and fry in deep hot fat. Drain on brown paper.

The vaudeville is uvusually good, the “Love Island S 1y” putting across a dazzling little musical comedy, The Eton boys doing an eccentric dance act, Sennett and Stevens scoring in “Wash Day in Chinatown” and Wylye and Josephine flirting by the song system. Tomorrow night brings Theda Bara in Carmen and Johnny Walker in “Play Square.” In Carmen, Theda Bara retirn to the screen after a long absence and she portrays this roman- tic role in excellent style. CAPITOL—HARTFORD. The eccentric’ dancing and slap- stick comedy of Robert Capron and the sweet voice of Vera Burt feature “The Teacher's Romance,” the head- line act on the Capitol theater pro- gram for the last half of the week. Miss Burt plays the part of the or- phan girl, but confines her ability chiefly to “putting over” the few songs in the act while Mr. Capron furnishes almost all the fun-making. Harry Holmes and Florrie LaVere come close to capturing first honors with their original ‘“man-and-wife” sketch. Kramer and Zarrell open the bill ractions with which they deal. with an unusual display of strength and human trapeze work. Brennan and Rule, song writers, en- tertain with Irish ditties, old songs, and the very latest. Gildea and Giafola add' comedy to the bill. The motion picture, “Fhe Wake- field Case,” is one of the few mys- tery productions which do not_vio- late the rules of belief. SUNDAY AT THE PALACE.

Rupert Hughes’ first original screen play, “Dangerous Curve Ahead!” pro- duced by Goldwyn, at the Palace the- ater, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day, is a worthy successor to that author’s “Sratch My Back,” one of the greatest and most unusual of thé year’s screen comedies and of ‘‘The 0Old Nest,” the greatest picture of home ever produced. ‘‘Dangerous Curve Ahead!” deals with every day American domestic life—its comedies and its tragedies and its mingling of the two.

After their two children are born, Harley is sent abroad and Phoebe spends the summer at a wa- tering place where the old romance with Newton is revived and Phoebe nvited to dinner by Newton's aunt, Mrs. Noxon. Thinking to advance her husband’s interests as well as her ~wn social position, Phoebe insists on keeping the engagement despite the return of Harley, and the sudden illness of her boy. But she breaks down at the “dinner party and manages to escape home to the delirious child, who is crying for her. Complete reconcilia- tion follows. There will be four excellent Keith vaudeviMle acts on the bill featuring Arthur Lyons & Co. and Samaroff & Sonia, the Russian peasants, and two other good acts. JOHN BARRYMORE AT FOX'S, DR.
