HUBAD’S L REVELATIONS OF A WIFE come into the dining room with me pleage?”" 1 managed s'ance toward which evidently fect, for she made no Katie fallowed me into the room. I thanked my particular little joss that when we were rushing Junior back to the warmth and safety of the house, I had suggested saying nothing about Jim's experience with the bootlegger until the child should be cared for, Katie had agrees en- thustastically, and I knew from my mother-in-law’'s unexcited manner that the girl had kept her word so far, But I also knew that left alone’ with Mrs, Ticer, and the inhibition concerning Junior removed, Katie could not resist pouring forth the tale of her “Jeem's" adventure. “1 Say Notings.'" I had no intention of barring her from that pieasure, but I thought I knew a sure method of preventing any mention of Jim's being bound and gagged, the clue which might lead to the knowledge of Harry Un- derwood’s aid in the escape of the bootlegger. ‘How Madge Swiftly Managed Mother Graham “I'll attend to Katie,” I told Jim with a confident air—far more con- fident, indeed, than I really felt “I'll even guarantce that she won't bother you with questions about the men who tied you up."” “That will be fine,” Jim said with a heartfelt relieved sigh, and de- parted upon his quest for the over- coat which Harry Underwood had left for him with so magnificently theatrical a gesture. The door harely had closed after him—1 had had no time to plan my promised attack upon Katie's in- quisitiveness — when my mother-in- law's imperative voice sounded from the room where I left Junior. “Margaret, where in the world are you?" “Right here, Mother,” I hurried swiftly down the hall. “What is it?” “What it it?” she echoed sarden- ically as 1 entered the room. “I should think you'd have some con- cern over a child as sick as this one threatens to be.

VEGETABLE \IAK\IALAD There are a tew vegetables make delicious and unusual e 5 Carrots are especially good, The vegetable marrow can be used, Beets are attractive and combine well with fruits and tomatoes alone or, in com- bination, make conserves that are beartily appreciated during winter, There i3 a distinct saving in the | use of vegetables, They are cheaper than fruit in the first place and make it possible to decrease the amount of sugar in the second. The vegetable lacts as a sort of filler or foundation while the fruit simply adds flavor. Of course a vegetable marmalade is not as rich as an entire fruit sweet, but for everyday use in a family with children the “imitation” marmalade is desirable, Imitation Orange Marmalade One pound cariots, 2 oranges, l1emon, 3 cups sugar. | Serape carrots and put through |food chopper.

The usual news reels, showing pictures taken in California with the late president, as well as comedies are on the same program. Bunday ushers in Revival Week at she Lyceum and the opening bill will have two features, George Arliss in “The Man Who Played God,” and Douglas Fairbanks in his great com- edy drama, “The Mollycoddle.” Among the pictures which will be shown next week is Mary Pickford in ¢wo—"Through the Back Door” and ‘Little Lord Faultleroy.” There also will be another Fairbanks' produc- con—-"The Three Musketeers.” ‘Dream Street,” that sensational drama of London, will be shown, and ¢he two, Gish sisters in “Orphans ot the tSorm,” also are listed. Last, chere will be that famous old rural Jdrama of New England, “Way Down £ast,” starring Richard Bartholmass and an all-star cast. Added interest tn this is obtained from the fact that David Wark Griffith brought the en- tire cast up to Winchel Smith’s Farm- ington residence for the filming of some of the pastoral scenes. GREAT PHOTOPLAY AT PALACE. The Palace will be closed on Fri- day up to b p. m., in aceordance With the requests of our national, state and | city government in sacred memory and respect to our late president,| Warren G.

Starting today for the balance of the week the big at- traction will be the photoplay version of Peter B. Kyne's great Saturday Evening Post story, “Brothers Under the Skin.” The domestic misadven- tures of two yaung married couples: and the husbands' similar solution of their problems furnishes the plot of| the story. One couple lives in a| Pronx flat, the other in a Riverside; Drive apartment. Both husbands are employed”by the same firm, in ca-| pacities as widely different as 2heir} salaries—one a manager the other a| humble shipping clerk. But each en- counter the same situation at home; a sweet lovable wife, whose chief tal- ent seems to be spending her hus- band’s salary and more. The photo- play has no one star, in fact it has a cast of all stars. They include Helene Chadwick, Mae Busch, Claire Wind- sor, Pat O'Malley and Norman Kerry. The vaudeville bill will show four acts of a very entertaining nature. Royal and Valentine will offer new and pop- ular songs at the piano; McCormick and Regay will be seen in a good singing, talking and. dancing act; Hazel Harrington is a elever singing comedienne, and the Monroe Brothers will close the bill with an excellent comedy novelty offering.
