May I quote you to that effect?"” 1 did not need Lilllan’ warning sig- nal to hesitate before I acquiesced in this ingenious version of my thoughts. Yet I knew enought of newspapers and reporters to know that as long as the first story had bean printed, it was far wiser for me to give re- lable reporters some comment they could quote, The Way ) disregard my “‘and"—another “Mr. Graham is an athlete of no mean ability, he is. hot-tempered, and very quick fure of confidence in thelr direction—- “that they will quote me correctly, You are at liberty to do the same thing, but please remember that I have your eard and I shall know ex. actly who is responsible for any arti- cle concerning me which is published In your paper.

It is perfectly convenient for me to do 80, and I may be able to be of some help to Miss Foster. She is inclined to be nervous and an accident of that sort is not very soothing, you know." 1 made a mental apology to Claire| |, Foster's splendid health and iron nerves then I braced myself anew as Mr. Rickett's calm, suave volce struck into the conversation. “A few minutes ago you referred to the incident as harmless comedy,” he sald. ‘“Would you object to explain- ing your meaning?” A Veiled Threat “Not in the least,” I rveturned brightly. *Of course, I did not mean to refer to the accident itself as com- edy, but could there be anything more humorous than the comment and excitement which according to the newspaper the incident appears to have caused among the inhabitants of the summer colony? Anything more intensely small town stuff I cannot imagine. I hope that the account is greatly exaggerated, and - that Miss Joster has not been annoyed by it.” “And you want to go on record,” queried young Mr. Smythe, with an unpleasant leer, “as saying that you are not angry at your husband , or jealous of Miss Foster, and that you are going up there to protect the girl from gossip? “Well, in one way that makes a better story than the one I had. Come now, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll write this story the way you want it, not telling the real thing, about your tearing that photograph of Miss Fos- ter that the baby had, if you'll give me a bang-up picture of Miss Foster, which I can use.” “T beg you to believe—'" Miss Cargill hegan., her dark eyes sparkling with anger, and I saw Mr. Rickett half rise from his chair as if he meant to call the other man to account. But I interrupted them both ruthlessly, faced young Mr. Smythe, and spoke slowly, firmly. “Mr. Graham is an Athlete.” “1 have been most patient with your insufferable actions,” I began, ‘“be- cause of the courteous behavior and evident desire to be fair which your colleagues have exhibited. But I warn you that my patience with you is at an end. It is one thing to write an account of something which actually happened, it is something al- together different to indulge in guess work ag to someone’s mental attitude. “I have stated to Miss Carglll and Mr. Rickett exactly what my position is, and I know”—TI made a little ges- sclze 1 turned fndiffergqntly from him, and held out my hand to Miss Car- gl “You and Mr. Rickett will excuse me now, I am sure,” I said, “for T am extremely busy. much for your courtesy. you do thé honors?"

The costume slips have already shown that, with their low waistlines and bloused bodices. Just ‘now the combination seems tc be more in demand than the two- plece sets, but it is 4 combination cut according to the latest fashions and is slightly bloused or fitted at the burden in a cleft between two rocks, covering it well with dried leaves. So intent was he upon his work that he | never noticed somebody who was watching him fromr hehind a baby spruce. If he had known that he was spied upon, Mr. Fox vould not have smiled so pleasantly when he turned and ran back down the hillside to- ward the farmyard. Mr. Fox's luck looked good to him that evening. But when he went back into the henhouse he disturbed the rooster, And then there was a terrible noise. The rooster screeched and woke up all the hens. And when Mr. Tox heard old dog Spot barking he didn't stop. to take another hen. He dashed ‘out, whisked under the fence, and tore off up the lane. “It might be worse,” he muttered as he plunged into the woods. "I've got one good one, anyhow.” Old Spot did not follow long. Mr. Fox hid his hen was half a mile from the place where he stopped running, he caught himself a few mice and had his supper right there, Along toward daylight he was hun- gry again. So de decided to eat his fat hen for his breakfast. He found the cleft between the rocks without any trouble. But as soon as he reached it he knew there was some- thing wrong. Somebody had been there during his absence. The leaves were not as he had left them. Mr. Fox quickly pawed them away, But where he had feft his hen, now there was nothing. He reachea home in a temper, But Mrs. Fox said something to him that made him feel better. “You're just in time” she greeted him. “Tommy and I are all ready to sit down to breakfast, We have a fat hen.” Mr. Fox smijed. A third of a hen was better than none at all. And by eating fast he hoped to get almost a half, “I'll carve the hen, my love,” he told Mrs. Fox as he seated himself. “No!" she objected. *“Let Tommy do it. He may as well learn.” Mr. Fox looked somewhat sulky | as he watched his son give Mrs. Fox a wing. He looked sour when Tommy handed him the neck, and took a leg for himseif. He started to grumble. But his wife shook her head at him. | “Don't find fault with the lad,” she sald. "He's doirg the best he can. You mustn’'t expect him to carve as well as you do." When the meal was over Mrs. Fox declared that she had never enjoyed one more. But Mr. Fox seemed very glum. He had had only the poorest parts of the hen. And he couldn't help think- ing about the whole one tkat he had expected to enjoy all by himself. “You must have visited the hen house early last evening, before the trouble hegan down there,”” he re- marked to his wife. “I didn’'t go to the henhouse,” she replied. *Your son brought the hen home for a treat for the family. ‘Wasn't it nice of him?" “Very!" said Mr. Fox, making a wry face. And then he turned sud- denly upon Tommy. ‘“Where did you | get the hen, young man?” “T—I found it,”" said Tommy casily. “Where?"” thundered his father. “In the woods!" “Ha!" cried Mr. Fox.

Only a few years ago, selle, or Rosa Ponzillo, as she was then known, was earning $12 per, week in a little movie house in Meri- den, where she was born and raised. She played the piano and sang all kinds of songs bhetween “flickers.” In time she left for a cabaret in New Haven from which she graduated to a Broadway restaurant, which proved to be but a stepping stone to the vaudeville stage, where she was “dis- covered” by the teacher who trained her for grand opera. An introduction to Caruso, who, in turn, whispered the magic word to Mr. Gatti-Ca- sazza, turned the trick and in a night, she was a star in that scintillating ‘galaxy, the Metropolitan Opera m- pany, which all points what ability and a bit of pluck and patience will accomplish., & FOX’S “FORGET * ME NOT” With GARETH HUGHES and BESSIE LOVE Added Attraction LUPINO LANE — I — “THE PIRATE” A scream from start to finish. 4—FINE ACTS—4 Thursday Continuous Performance PHIL ADAMS and GIRLS TOM MIX “ARABIA" Starting Next Monday Miss Pon- : @r ™ | r (I ] dli!-ln L ) &8 FeleX ©The 4 fra o7 \s < T Ay - noices and reviews i b this column the respective amusement company. are} ‘FORGET ME NOT" AT FOX'S A photo-drama of a hungry heart, story of a girl nobody wanted and sorles of Incldents that shows what a home means when you haven't got one-—that is the theme of “Iorget Me Not" the current ploture at Fox's which stars Gareth Hughes and Bessie Love.
