ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES


PATRICE.
Piles of hair,
Quite an air.
That's Patrice.
Laced so tight,
She's sight,
That's Patrice.
On high heels
Simply reels
That's Patrice.
Hat as large
As a barge
That's Patrice.
Slim as pole,
Bless your soul,-
That's Patrice.
Nothing real
Doth reveal
That's Patrice.
Mostly clothes
When she goes
That's Patrice.
Dressed to death,
Clasps for BREATH
That's Patrice.
Still. In style,
That's worth while,
Says Patrice!

All of peach bloom and rose
Just to tickle your nose
With sense of repose
So rare,

And a scent of fresh mint

Of magnoiias in bloom

An Arabian Njoht

The Emperor's congratulations
and formal inquiries duly arrived,

of the message intrusted to him
that he scarcely raised his eyes
during its delivery. He had the
misfortune to be attached to the
Regent.

and gave his reply. 1t was too
unaCcountable; actually dismayed
by the Indifferent composure, the
officer retired, and found himself
stammering again when he repeat
ed the answering message to the
Emperor.
Adrian was at dinner. or rather
had just concluded, when he found
time to receive the envoy: and he
set down his glass to study this
embarrassment in courtler of 20
years standing. He was always

tons.

Margaret Anglir,
"7he Awakening of Helena Richie" Strong
7ensely Dramatic Play.

strong as ever for this man, Lloyd
Pryor, played by Eugene Ormonde,
but at the opening of the play his
is beginning to wane. An orphan
child is brought to her by the
Chester minister, and she offers to
give 1t temporary shelter.
The husband in Paris dies and
Helena sends for Ormonde. He
dalles at this crucial point and
when he comes he wants to con-
tinue their relations without the
marriage VOW. The woman de-
mands that he marry her, and he
consents, but points out that the
child. whom she has begun to love,
be given up. OrmondeS preten-
siCns of love are too shallow and
she sends him away, clinging to
the child who has made her see
life more clearly.
But the minister is appraised Of
the secret of her life-a third
party forces Miss Richie to tell
him herself-and he says she is
not a good woman, has no right to
bring up a pure young child. AT
ter a few moments appeal, she
bows to the truth of this decision.
But the minister tets her, ascer-
tans in tensely dramatic situa-
ton that her dismissal of Ormonde
is complete and final, that the
childish prattle of the youngster
has brought new light of regen-
Grafton into her soul and as the
curtain drops she is given the

The tremendous, almost agoniz-

latest play, 'The Awakening Of
Helen Richie" does not begin to
grip you until the second act. but

tain the dramatic situations are so
intense, the emotions manifested
are so profuse and poignant the
philosophy spoken is so fearful and
truthful, that there is scarce time
to draw an easy breath between

" VI supreme scene where the
woman admits to the minister the
duplicity that has been woven
into the very fiber of her exist
ence.
The emotionalsm is acute but
not overdrawn. The philosophy is
healthy and the situations natural.
