MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adelc Garrison’s New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE. ‘Who is the Strange Woman Who Stopped the Car? Robert Savarin, with a quick move- ment, swerved his car to one side just in time to escape grazing the woman seated in the middle of the road painting at an aesel. Two other cars coming from the opposite direction, and being com- pelled to stop at the obstacle, brought him to a stop also, and the woman at the easel looked up from under an immense sunhat. At sight of our car and its occupants, she sprang to her feet, almost upsetting her easel as she did so. With a deftness evi- dently born of long practice, she righted the easel with one hand as she passed it, came to the side of the car and jumped on the running board. “Lillian Underwood, as I'm a hope- less sinner!” she exclaimed. “Just drive to one side of the road, kind gentlgman, so, we can talk. Charlie!” {She threw a command over her shoulder to a young man who had |ktood admiringly near her easel. h"“Get the things out of the road for ,me, won't you, tVhere's a dear. Now | Lil, introduce me to your friends, if {they can stand the gaff, and tell me |where you've. kept yourself all the {time. And where is Harry, or aren’t | we supposed to ask questions about | him any more? You know I've been fat the far end of the continent for tages, and only came back this spring {to find you gone from the city, and the wildest rumors flylng around |about your whereabouts/” A Curious Figure. | She stopped to take breath, and I | decided that'I disliked her intensely upon first sight. In her youth she must have been-a striking lissome brunette. Now, in ner late forties, |she was scrawny and sallow where |her make-up did mot reach. Her {hair, which no doubt in her youth {had “rivaled the raven’s wing,” still held the hue of that famous bird, but it was a color which ‘patently came out of a bottle. And her dress |=en extremely short sport skirt {topped by a smock, low-cut, short- 'nleeved wigh frolled-down stockings {end flamboyant sport shoes of latge [figured chintz—made her a bizarre fizure even in that artist colony, | where freakiness of costume and be- jhavior forms a fantastic edging for the beautiful sturdy woof of which fthe colony life is cwmposed. \ That she was malicious, thouzh harmlessly so, under her apparently friendly greeting, I was sure. from a ‘queer furtive little expression in her eyes af she looked at Lillian. All Lilllan's world knew-of Harry Un- derwood’s _currish treatment of her, ‘and the way she had heaped coals of fire upon his head by saving him chance to redeem himself by foreign service in the world war, for his share in the plot against his cquntty conceived in the fertile brain of Grace Draper. If this woman had made any inquiries at all concerninz Lillian, she must have heard this story_of Harry Underwood, and her question conwcerning him must have been born solely of a desire to wound. “Too Good Tmck.” That Lillian knew and understood all this, T was sure from the inflac- n of her voice as she side-stepped the sudden onslaught of this unex- pected question. It was an inflection which only her closest friends know. and T saw Robert Savarin's eyes Upset Stomach, Gas, ln_di_gestion “Pape’s Diapepsin” gives Relief in Five Minutes Pape’s Diapepsin™ is the quickest, surest relief for Indigestion, Gases, Flatulence, Heartburn, Sourness, Fer- mentation or Stomach Distress caused by acidity.

We must have been neigh- bors all summer without knowing it!" “Yes, isn’t it ‘touching?” the wom- an retorted, and then she fixed her still brilliant black eyes, sole remnant of the beauty that was once hers, upon Robert Savarin. “You never used to be a stingy ‘fraid cat, Lil,” she said with the laughing, sneering insolence which her type considers audacious, fas- cinating wit. “Of course, I'll admit he's terribly handsome—’ Robert Savarin’s face did not flush, but his eyes showed his anger and embarrassment at this outrage- ous little speech. Lillian, however, was as cool as though the woman had uttered the n‘cst banal platitude. “I always have handsome friends, Eleanor,” she said evenly. “And I am glad to exhibit them and have them find favor in tne eves of a con- noisseur like yourself. Mrd. Gra- ham, Mrs. Rundle and Mr. Savarin.” Mrs. Rundle gave me the most perfunctory of nods—she is the type of femipinity who wastes no seconds upon other women—and clasped Ger hands theatrically as she heard the artist's name. “Not the Robert Savarin!” she ex- claimed. *“Lil. don’t tell me that un- It would be too good luck today.” . I caught a glimpse of something sincere behind her theatricalism and her posing, something that spoke of a real need. And a flash of the des- peration that neea brings had shadowed her brilliant eyes for a secand. Lillian saw it, also, I knew from the promptness with which she opened the tonneau door. *Get in Eleanor,” she sald brusque- 1y, tell me what's To my horror, the woman, after obeying, turned her head against the back of the seat and broke into a perfect storm of tears and sobs. When Henrietta Hen's callers crowded about her nest in the hay- mow they axpected see something wonderful. But’® en they craned their necks and peered into the little hollowed-out snuggery in the hay they- couldn’t help being disappoint- ed. And when they didn’t burst forth with cries of surprise and praise Hen- ietta Hen looked quite unhappy. “I thought,” she said, “you'd want to see this egg. I'm sure you never beheld a bigger nor a whiter one than this. They admitted that the egg was big and that' it was very, very white, And if thelr praise was faint, Hen- rietta never noticed ft, “Are you going to let Farmor Green have that egg?”’ one of tho company inquired, “No doubt Johnnie Green will grab it as soon as he finds my nest,” gaid Honrfetta with somothing like a sigh, “If I could only keep this one -I wouldn’t care how . many others he took.” Polly Plymouth Roek turnad to old ET THE HABIT-GO T John Barrymore NOW PLAYING IN DR.

I'm glad to hear you say that! Henrietta Hen cried.! “Now I won't need to worry—that is, if you know what you're talking about.” That, of course, was a most im- polite way for Henrietta Hen to speak to anybody of old Whitey's age. Whitey was the oldest hen in the flock. And what she didn't know about such things as nests and eggs and roosts wasn't worth knowing. Polly Plymouth Rock didn't Henrietta Hen's remark. She opened her mouth. And no doubt she would have said something quite sharp in reply. But old Whitey stopped her. “Never mind!” said Whitey. “The day will come when Henrletta Hen will agree that my guess is a good one.” Still Henrietta Hen felt about that big, white egs. “I do hope Johnnie Green won't find this new nest of mine,” she re- marked. “If he does, I fear he'll take my beautiful egg away from me.” “Lay another!” said old Whitey. “Lay another and he'll take that and leave this one.’ “I suppose I may as well try your scheme,” Henrietta replied, “‘since no- body suggests anything better.” “My idea’s a good one, or I'll miss my guess,” said old Whitey. There was some snickering among Henrietta Hen's callers as they bade her good afternoon and left her. “They’re laughing at old Whitey,” she said to herself.

And as soon as she foind her, Henrietta cried, “Come up to my nest right away. I want to ask your advice.” Although she didn’t say “Please!” old Whitey went with her. like uneasy (Copyright 1921 by The Metropolitan Newspaper Service). PENAL OFFICER KILLED. Waterbury, Oct. 11. — Fred Clarke, foreman of the Stdte Reformatory farm at Cheshire, was blown to pieces this morning, when 100 pounds of dynamite, stored in a barn, exploded. The cause of the explosion is unknown. Clarke entered the barn and almost immediately the structure was torn apart by a violent explosion. CAPT. EDWARDS DIES AT 105.

He who must carry his dinner during the win- ter months will appreciate a bot- tle of hot soup, substantial sand- wiches and a generous dessert. Starch and sugar are quick energy-producing foods and the proportion should be in- creased in,the winter ‘dinner pail. Muscle building foods must of course form a large part of the dinner and minerals must be intro- duced in fruits. During the cold weather fill the thermos - bottle with a nourishing soup. It will do more toward keep- ing a hard working man fit than coffee. Split Pea soup, dried bean soup, potato soup, any heavy cream soup would prove acceptable. These menus are well balanced and practical. Split pea soup, ground beef and tomato catsup sandwiches, rye bread and peanut butter sandwiches, choco- late cake, apples. Dried bean soup, pork sandwiches, onion sandwiches, baked apple with top milk, doughnuts. Split Pea Soup. One cup dried split peas, cold water 3 onion, 1 teaspbon su- gar, 2 tablespoons bacon fat, 2 tablae- spoons flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1-4 tea- spoon pepper, 2 cups milk. Pick over peas-and wash through several waters. Soak over night in water to cover. Drain and put in cold water with the sugar and onion. Simmer three or four hours until soft. Melt bacon fat, stir in flour and add milk gradually. Rub the cooked peas through a sieve and add to the white’ sauce. The pea puree ishould be quite thin. Add more milk if the soup is too thick. The pea puree may be prepared and kept on ice for a day or two. The sandwiches in the first menu are made of left over cooked beef, ground and moistened with catsup. Dried Bean Soup. One cup dried beans, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, dash mustard, 2 tablespoons butter, milk. Pick over and wash beans. Soak over night in cold water to cover. Drain and put in kettle.

This is the first time this picture has shown in this city and is one of the best heavy dramas ever produced. The story, from the pen ot Stevenson, shows the eternal struggle oi good and evil in man. One of the most interesting, con- fusing and baffling acts seen in vaude- ville is “The Vanishing Woman” a tip- top illusion act heading the bill this first half. A woman, in full view of the audience, suddenly vanishes from sight, melts away into thin air, as it were. This is but one of the startl- ing feats. “The Cop and the Girl,” is a clever song, dance and dialogue act; Uliss and Clark have & lively song revue and Gilmore and Kassell bright- en up the program with their activi- tles. il e COMING ATTRACTIONS—FOX'S.

No other theater in town has pictures of the games which were played last Wed- nesday, Thursday and Friday at New York Polo Grounds. “Fine Feathers” that photoplay adaption from Eugene Walter’s famous play of the same is the feature pic- ture the first three days of the week. It is a photo full of human interest with an appeal for every member of the family. It is a fast moving drama, truthfully portraying people under the stresg of human emotion. “Hotel de Luxe'’ is the snappy musical comedy which the popular Hoyt’s Revue is presenting today and tomorrow. Felix Martin and Lew Brems are the main interest in the show. Miss Madeline Buckley ren- ders many popilar songs. L “DANGEROUS CURVE AHEAD” AT PALACE THEATER.

How she avoids the Dangerous Curve, and is brought to her senses by the illness of her little child eag- erly resuming the yoke of domesticity, is dramatically portrayed. FINE KEITH BILL AT PALACE. The Keith vaudeville bill at the Palace for the first half of the week contains four excellent acty. Florence Brady, a pretty singing comedienne offers a selection of latest songs; Hart and Helene present a fine musical and singing offering; Arthur Lyons and Co., four men in a novelty variety of- fering; and Samaroff and Sonia, the Russian peasants, offer an excellent novelty dance number with pretty scenic effects. '“EXPERIENCE. " “Experience” as a production is one og evceptional pictorial merit while the story most assuredly has a charm all its own. Hartford’s own Richard Barthelmess, who plays the leading role of youth, in this feature at the Capitol for the first half,of the week, has for support a company of won- derfully pretty and gorgeously attired _ girls, one of the number being Edna Whtaton, recently hailed as the most ‘beautiful girl in New York. Beauti- ful and artistic are the settings as the story is told of the young man's en- counter with personified Love, Hope, Pleasure, Temptation and Excitement.
