The Strange Question That Startled Madge With a smiling adieu to my moth- er-in-law, I left the sickroom and hurried down the hall to the bath- room, where I revelled in a needle ghower, first warm, then cold, and a brisk rub. Refreshed, and feeling as if T never needed sleep again, 1 quickly dressed, putting on a warm sweater coat over a walking dress, and donning stout walking shoes and woolen stockings. . Then I went down to the kitchen, where Katie greeted me theerily. ’ “I guess dot ba-bee better, no?"” she asked. "I listen me outside door be- fore I coom down, und I hear nodings, 80 I tink he better.” “Yes, Katie, thank you, he is much ‘better,” 1 answered, a little warm feeling in my heart at the affection for my little lad which the girl's tone and manner showed. And then I sounded the note to which she invari- ably responds with enthusiasm: “You have something good for breakfast, haven't you?" sniffing ap- preciatively. Katie laughed delightedly. “You shoost like leetle kid, Meesis Graham. Dot nose of yours smell goot tings cooking better anybody I efer gee before. But I no tell you now. You shoost sit down und let Katie humiliating knowledge that curiosity, and the intriguing interest which all things bizarre and out of the ordin- ary have for me, were the solé rea- sons for my journey. A Puzzling Discovery “I am every whit as ridiculously melodramatic as Mother Graham,” 1 said to myself crossly as 1 reached the woodland and pushed aside the thick undergrowth which for so long had concealed the entrance to the road. With eyes sharpened by conjec- | ture, I noticed that there were no in- dicatlons of anyone else having dis- turbed the matted vines, and realized that, even in tieir hurry, the fleeing men had taken the precaution to hide the trace of their entrance, There were no prints of automo- bile tires upon the beginning of the old road, and 1 walked several roda down it before T suddenly came upor two paralel ribbons, discernible only because the sheltered ground in here was not so frozen as the exposed fields outside. They ended as abrupt- ly as if they had been cleft with a knife, and while 1 stood puzaling | over the fact that nowhere was there any indication of a machine being turrned around, 1 heard a familiar drawling voice from the clump of | evergreens nearest me, and wheeled to see Harry Underwood step out into the path, I man- DAILY FASHION SERVICH =5 Three Skirts made toSuit any Occasion The blouse and skirt costume Is capable of s6 many variations that every woman likes to plan hér ward- robe with these garments in mind. The tallored skirt lllustrated s of white atpaca—the newest fabric of the season which will be ' worn this fall and winter in dark colors, The second skirt is of heavy crepe, the third of crepe-back satin—they are of such varied styles that, with the proper blouse, they are good for everything except the most formal cvening wear. Nearly all skirts are made now, as the sketches show, with camisole tops to insure their hanging well in spite of the absence of corset stays.

Jhe opener will . be “The Eleventh Hour,” one of the most thrilling, mystifylng and melo- dramatic productions that ever came tfrom the pen of Lincoln J. Carter. On the same program, which con- tinues through Wednesday, will be *“Round II of Fighting Bloed,” in which the youthful boxing champion appears in one of the most exciting episodes yet. The final round will be shown in two weeks, after which a new similar serial will be introduced. For the final half of next week the Lyceum will show another big Fox in "“The Gun-Fighter." e— e LE BAU TABARL Le Bal Tabarin of Hartford, New startled the amusement world of Southern New England last summer ' with the elobprate Revue that was “taged for itis patrons, and plans to ‘repeat that wonderful success again next week when it brings forth its second annual Revue known as “Hella!

The vaudeville bill has five big time attractions with Rose Selden and Bro. oftering a up@ndld balanc- ipg and gymnastic offering; Murray and Allan, real clever . comedians, offer “Jesters of 3000 Years Ago. They sing and Jest themselves into tavor; KEd Janis & Co. offer a real fine dance novelty with four clever young vie star in person, is another excellent offering; he 'sings and jests merrily and is assisted by Alice IForrest at the piano. The big attraction is Bobby KFolsom, Jack Denny and their Metro- politan orchestra, an aggregation of clever musicians, featuring ‘‘Traps,” the clever child drummer. The pho- toplay offers Richard Barthelmess and Dorothy Gish in “The Bright Shawl,” an_excellent picture Norma Talmadge makes a spectac- lar attempt to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river, in her latest 13irst National feature produc- tion, “Within the Law,” which is said to be the most exciting and dramatic picture of the kind yet made by the popular star. Jack Mulahll apears opposite Miss Talmadge as Dick Gil- der, selected as one of Mary Turner's “victims" in the exercise of her spe- clalty—breach of promise suits. “BROKEN CHAINS" AT PALACE; A wonderful bill is now playing tie Palace and scored a hit with the large audiences who saw it yesterday. The photoplay is “Broken Chains," taken from the Chicago Dally News $3,000 prize winning story of the same name, The leading roles are done by Colleen Moore, Ernest Torrence and Malcolm McGreggor. The vaudeville bill is great and shows four good acts with Max Arnold & Co. in a very fine gym- nastic offering; Mabel Harper, the sunbeam comedlenne of vaudeville, sings herself into instant favor with bher comedy songs and her pleasing personality. ~ Miss Ethel Fitzpatric is her pianist; Dotson, vaudeville’s light- ning dancer, was the hit of the Dbill, with his cle®®r dancing and repeated the same sensation as he made fere last season. Closing the bill is Allen, Martin and May, who offer a splendid musical offering that was well liked. Next week “Ideal” wil apear in the theater swimming and diving in a tank holding 8,000 gallons of water, In conjunction with her she will hold an amateur swimming ‘and diving contest, giving a silver trophy to the winners. Those desiring to enter the contest should leaye their names at the theater. feex you breakfast.

And when I had finished the danl- ous breakfast of grapefruit, broiled steak, hashed brown potatoes, and my favorite muffing, she still eved me dis- approvingly. “You mooch better go oop to bed now,"” she said. “You bin by hot room all night. I fraid you catch cold if you go out doors now before you gleep.” “No, I won't,” I returned with « pattience’ that was becoming a trifie strained. “I had a cold shower and a rub down, and I won't get chilled.” She put up both hands in horror. | “Dose, cold showers !" she seolded. | “All right!

I wondered vaguely if she perhaps suspected the real reason for this early morning stroll, then I put the jdea from me as absurd. But I took pains, nevertheless, to go down the road first, and wait until 1 was well out of sight of the house before walking toward my objective—the old hidden wood road, where, according to jim, Harry Underwood had brought & car the hight before and in it had spirited away the vsvaping bootleg- ger. 1 I tried to' persuade myself, as 1 hurried over the frozen fields, that I was but doing my duty in investigat- ing the story which Jim had told! me. But I was unable to escape the You mooch better but the genuine the words Ingrowing Toe Nails Bobby Burns called toothache the hell o' all diseases. If he'd had « good set of ingrowing toe nails, what he'd have said would make interest- ing reading. Dr. Frederick Johnson, who has written a number of articles on the South Pacific island tribes, speaks particularly about their feet. Nd corns, bunions, ingrowing nails or fal- len arches, They use their feet for walking, not to display shoes. If we could go harefooted many of our foot ills would disappear. One of the most painful is ingrow- ing toec nails. There are two chief causes, Too small, incorrestly shaped shoes are the first. Too large, stiff shoes cause the same trouble. Cut- ting the nails wrong is the other. Al- ways wagh the feet and soak the toe nails before cutting.

JOHNNIE o the CIRCUS and s CUFFY BEAR ~ ~ By ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY BRAMBLE THE BEAR. Almost as soon as Cuffy Bear joined | the circus, he found himself in a' cage, on wheels, A partition of iron bars divided the cage into two parts. One-half was Cuff; The other be- olnged to a full-grown bear, who promptly asked Cuffy his name.
