MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison’s New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE What Eleanor Rundle’s “Poppies” Brought. “I have here,” said the auctioneer, *‘a canvas entitled ‘Poppies, by Eleanor Rundle. Do I hear a bid?” There was silence for a minute, and I knew that Robert Savarin was waiting to see if there would be a bid from some one in the room. A man, evidently a farmer, who had come in’ since the artist's entrance, spoke quickly: “Five dollars.” “Five dollars!” . The auctioneer’s ace suggested an agonizing attack of indigestion. “Really, I cannot—the gentleman cannot have understood the value of the cancas—" “Well, what do you want for it?” the farmer growled, and I noticed that a number of people looked at him sympathetically. But my interest' was intrigued by the men whom I rec- ognized as picture dealers from New York. They were watching each other like hawks, vet trying to keep up an air of aloofness, as if they had dropped in out of curiosity, and had no concern in the pictures. But their furtive glances toward the canvas and Robert Savarin betrayed their keen interest in the sale. “Why—why,” stammered the auc- tioneer. “Do you want ten dollars?” the, man demanded. “Will you take ten dollars?” The auctioneer made a clutch at his fast-slipping dignity. “Ten dollars. is bid,” ‘he said, this marvelous study of poppies. I hear another bid?” There was a tense little pause, and then Robert Savarin's quiet, modu- lated tones sounded through the room “One hundred dollars.” * The auctioneer's apparent indiges- tion must have affected his heart, thought to myself, as, for an inst he appeared to wilt before our ey Then he rallied gamely with the air of being accustomed to bids of that sort upon the canvases of unsuccess- artists, and repeated Robert Savarin's words. “for Do nt “Do I Hear—" “One hundred dollars. one hundred dollafs. “And ten.” It was the cautious voice of one of the picture dealers. A quizzical smile quirked the cor- ner of Robert Savarin’s mouth. “One hundred and twenty-five,” he I am bid Do I hear—" MOTHER! OPEN .

FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so at- tractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix- ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of ‘“Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” which dark- ens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance. the yoritheal S that rash ~ Use RESINOL Soothing and Healing The first application stopsthe itching torture and helps o clarify the angry skir: said. A new voice, dominant, strong, evi- dently that of a man knowing what he wanted, and accustomed to getting it, struck in: “One hundred and fifty dollars.” It was the voice of the wealthy collector whom I had recognized. The auctioneer caught his breath. “One hundred and fifty dollars,” he repeated. ‘Do I hear—" One hundred and seventy-five,” the voice of a second picture dealer sald. “Two hundred,” Robert Savarin put in as promptly, while I marvelled. He had said he would bid only the value of the picture, as he estimated it. Was it possible? “Three hundred dollars.” The im- patient voice of the wealthy collector held a note of finality, and there was no answering bid. The auctioneer awarded him the canvas, and in an- other minute the canvas of some other artist was held up, and Robert Sav- arin was escorting Lillian out of the hall, while Eleanor Rundle and I fol- lowed. A Strange Question. I think there were but few eyes in the room which were not focused upon the bizarrely-attired woman as she walked by my side out of the crowded place. Eyes of curiosity, cyes of envy, no doubt some eyes of genuine gladness at her good fortuns. But I surmised that there were com- paratively few of the last. She ap- peared too thoroughly self-centred, too selfish a woman to awaken much genuine iconcern for her welfare in he eyes of her associates. That she was making a wonderful effort to appear composed, even non- chalant, I guessed from her erectly held body and her stride with its s picion of a swagger But her breath- ing betrayed the almost overwhelming excitement that was consuming her. Long shuddering breaths, almost sobs, vhich it seemed to me must tear her lungs, alarmed me. Al we reached the door of the anteroom I put my hand lightly beneath her elbow, hurried her through the people stand- ing there to the car, by which Robert Savarin and Lillian were standing. Lillian looked searchingly at her ind spoke gently: “Would you like us to drive you anywhere, Eleanor?” she asked gent- ly. “F am afraid this has been too much for you.” Mrs. Rundle laughed a bit raucous- and gathere! herself together. “Don’t you worry about me, Lil.” <he laughed. “I'm all right now, ard I won’t keep you. I must hurry back and see that auctioneer. I think I'd belter instruct hom not to take any bids under one hundred for my things. Don’t you think so?” she appealed to Robert Savarin. A HENRIETTA’S FRIGHT. When the old horse Ebenezer stood in his stall in the barn he was always glad to talk with anybody that came along. Henrietta Hen sometimes strolled into the horse-barn to see if she could find a little grain that had spilled on the floor. So it came about that she and Ebenezer had many a chat to- gether. Henrietta had no great opin- ion of horses. She thought that they had altogether more than their share of grain. But she was willing to pass the time of day with Ebenezer, be- cause he let her walk right into his stall and pick up tid-bits that had dropped upon the floor beneath his manger. It was on such an occasion on a summer’s day, that he said to her NEW BRITAIN DAILY.HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER BY MARIAN HALE. ) New York, Oct. 17.—Broadtail is claiming important honors for this season’s coats. The smart broadtail coat worn by Irene Castle has the distinctive flare skirt effect. A deep rionkey fur collar reaching well to the waistline adds a very smart touch.

It means everything to me. It's the worst news I ever heard in all my life.” Old Ebenezer looked down at her with mild astonishment on his long, honest face. “Why is it bad news?” quired. “If you'll tell me, I can help you.” So Henrietta Hen difficulty. Whatever it was, it amazed Ebenezer. And he had to admit that he could think of no way out of the trouble. “It was very, very careless of you,” he told Henrietta. Then suddenly he had a happy thought. “Cheer up!” he cried. “If Farmer Green sits on them, maybe they’ll hatch.” “Hatch!” she groaned. “They'll break!” And she ran out of the stall and hurried into the yard. She was just in time to hear Farm- way I do,” Hen- i3 he in- perhaps explained her “Look here!” said he. “I started to oil the mowing machine so I could use it tomorrow; and just see what I found in the seat!” . Johnnie Green came a-running. And there in the seat of the mowing ma- chine, nestling in the hay which had been put there for a cushion the summer before, three eggs greeted Johnnie's eyes. “They must belong to the speckled hen,” Johnnie decided. “I know she'd stolen her nest again. I couldn’t find it anywhere.” He picked up the eggs them in his hat. he said. That remark made Henrietta Hen somewhat angry. At the same time she was glad that Farmer Green had discovered the eggs before it was too late. She wouldn’'t have liked him to sit on them. It always upset her to see her eggs broken. and put “Bhe’s a sly one,” (Copyright 1921 by The Metropolitan Newspaper Service). WEISSMAN CASE IS AGAIN CONTINUED U. S. District Court too Busy to Hear New Haven Case Before December Term. New Haven, Oct. 17.—There i3 so much business before the present term of the U. S. district court that the cases of Joseph Weissman and 25 others who are alleged to be involved in the bankruptcy case of Weissman in which the liabilities were close to a million dollars, cannot be tried until the December term which will be in Hartford. Weissman has been at liberty under $20,000 bonds since March of last year. Judge E. S. Thomas had had before him the gov- ernment’s demurrar to the plea of the defendants that the indictments charg- ing conspiracy to conceal assets be dismissed. The court sustains the demurrer and Weissman and the others must stand trial. The Weissman bank- ruptcy dragged along in the bank- ruptcy court for many weeks, and in March of last year a grand jury was called for trial three months later. The indictment alleged that Weissman knowing he was insolvent, turned over to employes and others sums of money and goods which were disposed of at a profit.

For the past two years they have been the star at- traction with the famous musical comedy ‘“Listen Lester.” All are splendid harmonists and supply a good measure of fun as well. De Lea and Orma are an odd comedy couple and fun is measured by the feet, as Miss Orma, fine ‘comedienne is_over six feet tall. . Fid Gordon comes rec- ommended as one of the best violin- ists on the stage today, his personality and music captivating everyone. Lis- tette and Rooney combine singing, dancing and gymnastic efforts into an excellent offering. Lyle and Virginia a very clever couple, offer new songy and comedy that have made them big favoritel on tha entire circuit, while this wonderful bill is brought to a close with the Five Chapins, a music- al quintette, whose artistic musical melange is a vocal and instrumental combination.
