MY HUSBAND’S LOVE Adele Garrison's The News Dicky Telephoned Madge | and Why Madge Hesitated to ' Question Him Back from the glint of blue in the sky still visible to my searching cyes, I turned to the letter I had inter- rupted when my “thinking hour' had arrived and my diary called me. It was my daily letter to Mother Graham in answer to her daily report of Junior What a wrench it had been to leave him even for the brief time it seems necessary we must now be| parted-—to leave him even in the ten- der care of his adoring grandmother Jut there had come to me in thoss days of convalescence after the tragic hours in that ister country house where Allen Drake, Lillian and their operatives had captured the men who promised to be such a menace to our country, a thought which obsessed my every waking hour, “Have I been too thoughtful of my gon at the expense of his father? Does part of the fault of our unhappiness lie in the fact that I have made Dicky pay the penalty of his neces- sary work in the city, alone?” Although I did not talk this over with any one, I though of it almost every hour of my brief convalescence.| For it was not many days before I was up again—a bit weak and some-| times woefully dizzy—from the shock- ing blow which had come to my head when Harry ['nderwood had seized me and had swept me into the ele tor behind the draperies in that music room. A Quiet Home That Harry Underwood had my life that instant when the buliets hegan to fly in the great room so un- expectedly plunged into darkn there was no denving. But that T had nearly lost my life by the accidental striking of my head against the iron grillwork of the elevator, poor head for days proclaimed whenever I even turned over on the couch the doctor insisted 1 should not leave for/ nearly a week after we returned to the farmhouse and 1 was given into the tender care of Mother Graham T.illan had gone with Marion for a brief sojourn in the Catskill moun- tain home of Robert Savarin's sister. Tom Chester had also departed againgt the solicitious insistence of Dicky. Royally repentant as Dicky is whenever he has once convinced him- gelf he is wrong, Dicky had made Tom Chester's gzoing almost as emharras- sing as he had made his presence in our home, when he discovered that Tom Chester was there. So our little family had been alone other Gra- ham, Dicky, Junier and I-—and had been made ideally comfortable by grateful Jim and Katie, for days be-| fore I made the decision which| brought me to the city wiht Dicky. | “How is Leila Looking?" It was somewhat of a relief, how- ever, to be free from the seemingly neverending words of thanks with which Katie showered me, after she had survived the first terrifying shock of my being brought home on a| gtretcher. Even her relief that Joe| was gone—the man she had known in| her old home in Poland and who had| such a superstitious hold upon her {fmagination that she believed =he could never again be happy even witw her beloved “Jeem''-—seemed engulfed by her terror Jest T should not sur- vive that “Dot man Joe he put on my,| dear Meesis Graham.” The shrilling of the telephone in the little hallway of the apartment brought me to my feet and scurrying to answer its call DBut as I went, ] asked myself irritatedly: “Why are the telephones of many small apartments =0 close to an egg- shell door on a dividing wall that any one passing on the stairway or with an ear to the thin partitioning wall| of the next apartment can hear| everything that is said, If she wants| to listen?" But all captious thoughts were ban- ished by the lilt in Dicky's voice which came to my ears when I had taken the receiver from the hook with a perhaps-irritated “Hello— " “Why the peeve, oh, princess of the palpitating breath?"” he chuckled, and I knew that Dicky was in one of his outrageous teasing moods.

The eminent physiciam, Dr. von Saulsbourg, was having the ‘time’ of his life at the mansion of the father of the Sick-Little-Well-Girl, His yearly fee sounded like the German war debt, and the doétor was making sure that it would not stop. Dark rooms, medicines, sanftariums and absolute quiet were included in his prescriptions—that is, until the ar- rival of Dr. Jack. When that young man with the winning smile was brought 1o the household by the family lawyer, things began to happen.,so fast that the eminent physiclan thought he was caught in the combination of a tornado and a three-ringed circus. Dr. Jack had sunshine methods. He also bullt aircastles around himself and the girl. Instead of a thermom- eter, he placed a stick of peppermint candy in the girl's mouth, He fell in love with his patient and whooped it up for all he was worth—in fact, things became so lively that the older doctor left the house with the seat of his paits missing. And the girl became Dr. Jack's patient for the rest of her life. i The Keith vaudeville bill has four very fine acts with Morlin and Doran in a very good musical offering; Har- ry Watkins, a loose-jointed comedian who is very funny; the Kee Tow Four a harmony quartette, and Fred La Reine & Co.,, in an electrical nov- elty that is instructive as well as full of laughs. Starting Sunday night for a run of four days Cecil B. De Mille's great- est photoplay achievement, “Adam's Rib,” will be the big attraction. It ie a story of the modern flapper and lays aside tinsel clothes of jazz and shows the stuff that she is really made of. The direction by Mr. De Mille is faultless and the scenic effects are nothing short of marvel- ous. The vision scene in the Museum of Natural History, which takes one back to the days of the cave man, is a spowerful’as 4t is novel. It must be said of “Adam's Rib,” that it stands alone as the greatest photo- play production in the last ten years, The cast is composed of Milton Sills, Elliott Dexter, Theodore Iosloff, Anna Q.
