Q.-Am a stenographer 81
years of age and am good
looking and refined. Have
been working in the evening
for a very wealthy business
man. He is not married and
is about so years of age. The
third evening / worked for
him he took me to dinner
at a grill room and then
/. home in a taxicab. i work
quite often for him, and he
always takes me to dinner
and then takes me home in q
taxi.
cannot refuse to go be-
cause would probably
lose my position, as he is a
friend of my employer. He
has shown me that he likes
me very much, but he says
he does not believe in getting
married. He wrote me a
very passionate letter and
seems to want to be a good
friend. Please advise me
what to do because | don't
want to do anything wrong
and / have no one to tell me.
i have gone with him for
over a month now, and / can
not get away from him, as l
might lose my position, and
am afraid of him as he buys
wine and makes me drink It,
Please tell me what he In
tends.
Miss Grey, don't you think
even a rich man might treat
a young, respectable girl

dinner with him l thought he
was kind to take me as
id to go back to work.

Use Fels-Naptha Soap and stop worry
ing about the weekly washing. It's

enough to drive the smiles away from q
woman's face to look at the heaps of dirty
clothes that she must make sweet and
clean every week. There is no work so
hard. But there is one way open to her
which, if she chooses, will make her work
easier than she would believe possible.
Fels-Naptha Soap will bring back the
smiles. Give a woman little encourage
ment and consideration, and you will find
that it will be thoroughly appreciated
and repaid.
FeIs-Naptha Soap gives her encour-
agement, because it makes her work easy.

Fourier has stuck. with the Sox
now for two years. In that time he
has been tried as an outfelder and
first baseman. He also has caught a
game or two.
Jacks gardening was not beautiful
to the eye. He was a good catch of
fly balls, but did not judge the rock
eters quickly, and failed to gauge the
distance from the outposts to the
plate when throwing.
At first base Jack also looked bad
from fielding standpoint when he
was first put to work there. But he
has improved wonderfully. He has
made long strides forward. Not that
he is a Chase, defensively, or the
equal of the majority Of the A. L. first
baseman. But he is promising.
Any man who can come as far
forward as Jack has in the past two
years must have some latent me-
chanical ability to build on. 1t shows
he is willing to work and learn. Four
nier's ultimate success depends on
how far he can go forward from the
point he has already attained.
Jack has made good in one thing.
He is the leading hitter of the South
Side crew, and is steadily maintain
ing the smart batting clip he began
on when he took over Chase's work.
When Chase jumped Jack was bat
ting under 200, the slim average
having been attained while piddling
around at odd jobs of pinch hitting
and first basing.
Chase's detection gave Fourier his
chance. He Immediately started on
batting rampage that lifted him above
the 800 mark in three weeks, and
the confident way in which he steps
up to the ball indicates he will shatter
all precedent and continue to get his
hits, despite the White Sox uniform.
When Jack was stopping around as
hitter some of his admirers claimed
he would bat if used regularly. They

become a good fielding first baseman.
Jack knocked a triple and three sin
giles in six times at bat in yesterdays
double bill
1t looked like an old city series on
the South Side yesterday. The Yanks,
bossed by Chance and pitched for by
Cole, were against the Sox, with Ed
Walsh in the box Cole was little
better than Ed, as the Yanks punched
two of their five hits in one inning
for the lone tally. Cole held the Sox
to three futile wallops.
Walsh looked better than at any
time since his comeback started. In
addition to being tight with his hits,
he handed out but two passes.
Faber and Cicotte outpitched four
Yank pitchers in the second. Peckin-
paugh of the Yanks maced a homer.
The start of the Cubs in the east
was suspicious. They licked the
Braves, hard team for them, and did
1t without using Bresnahan. Roger
was enabled to take two more days
of rest and is expected to be almost
as whole as ever when he goes in
this afternoon. His flock of wounds
healed nicely.
Without Bresnahan or Archer the
Cubs do not resemble a good ball
team. Hargraves is a hard working
youngster, but woefully inexperi-
enced- O'Day showed good judgment
in giving Bresnahan this rest to fit
him for the Giant series, as Har- 3
graves could not cope with the willy
baserunners of McGraw.
Safer and his homers are doing
good work for Cubs. Outside of these
four-ply swats, Vic has not been do
ing much with the stick He is down
around $50, while his natural gait
is at least .2S0. 1t is almost certain
that he will improve, and then the
Cubs will be even stronger than now.

WILLIAMS WITH UErvERsAL

c. Jay williams. for the past four year
premier director Of comedies for the
Edison Company, is the latest recruit
to the star Of Universal directors.
Among the successful comedies thai
Mr.. Williams has produced during the
years he has been associated with the
Edison Company are such as Caste"
two-reeler adapted from the famous CON-
edy Of the same name by T. W. Robert
son, why Girls Leave Home" II Is
new version Of the comedy that won
favor several years ago, entitled MI
Wood B. wedd."
Mr.. Williams, who is Of Welsh and
German extraction. was born In New
York City. He knew nothing Of pic
lures until four years ago. when q
friend, q fellow actor, induced him to
pose for the part OF Beethoven in an
Edison play, 'Beethoven's Moonlight
Sonata" He scored an Immediate sue
cess and was engaged to appear In sew
eral other productions of the same COM
pany Then he departed from pictures
for a while to tour with Blanche Walsh
in The Test" But the seed had been
sown. Mr. williams was assured Of the
pictures future. and so when. he re-
turned from this tour he negotiated
again with the Edison for a position as
director, and he landed.
Mr.. Williams is married. His wife, as
Mrs. c. Jay Williams, has appeared In
Edison comedies under her husbands di-
rection for several years and recently be-
came his lead. Like her husband, she
prefers the comedy or else the play where
the essential point is the portrayal of
character.

he craved her for his own. The crafty
priest told Sophonisba that Molock would
bring terrible misfortunes upon herself
and upon her country unless ELISA were

as a sacrifice. as
Sophonisba was in awe Of the High
Priest. as was everyone in Carthage. She
believed his words were an Inspiration
from heaven itself Dearly as she had
learned to care for Cabiria she dared
not refuse the priests solemn command
Weeping, she gave CabIria into this

the dungeon where Maciste and Pluvius
were confined. Peering out through the
barred window. the captives saw Cabiria
dragged along by Karthalo. Maciste, his
heart wrung by his masters sufterings
at this sight, gripped the iron bars OF the
cell. Beneath that resistless grasp the
iron bars went and buekled
The prisoners were free. Maciste, like
q bloodhound on the scent, followed
swiftly in the track of Karthalo and
CAbiria. Once or twice members Of the
palace sought to bar his way. He hurled
them from his path and sped on.
Dashing into the temple he caught uI
with Karthalo just as the priest wa.
telling Cabiria who she really was and
was threatening her with the fires oi
Moloch should she resist him.
Maciste, at one blow, stretched Kar'
thaIo senseless on the floor; snatched uI
CRblria-as he had done many years be-
fore-and bore her gently away to
where Fulvius awaited him.
Karthalo recovered his senses and sum
moned the guard, who followed hot after
the fugitIves and surrounded them be-
fore they could escape from Cirta.
Fulvius and MAciste fought their way
into a provision cellar, which they bar
ricaded and defended easily against the
foe.
Then, to their horror. they discovered
that, during the fight, Cabiria had been
recaptured. Knowing the vile heart OF
Karthalo and his boundless power, Full
vips abandoned all hope OF seeing again
tbs girl he had so strangely learned to
love.

EUROPE'S WAR AND
AMERICAS MUSIC
Opportunities Coming for American
Artists and Talking Machine
Companies.

It's an Ill wind that blows no good.
Just what effect the European war Will
have on musical matters in this coun-
try II is impossible to foreten with any
degree Of confidence at present. But it
certainly does lsok as though II might
open up the way for local talent to Sc
cure a large share of the rewards In
glory and in material returns that have
for SO long fallen 10 the lot Of European
artists Of rank.
Many Of the prominent foreign artists
have been drafted for war service in
their respective countries and not only
the great soloists, but the rank and file
OF many Of the orchestral organizations
in this country will be unable to re-
sumo their accustomed duties here this
winter.
Naturally, the demand for music is
not going to be lessened any. so the
supply will have to be adjusted accord
ingly.
our own artists will undoubtedly reap
a Juster recognition than has ever fallen
their way before. And those among the
listeners who still banker after the
great ones OF Europe will have to con-
tent themselves with what the talking
machines can offer them.
At that, however, they will not be
denied the work Of many really famous
artists. Neither will their ears be de-
prived Of much in the way Of really
good music, for the modern repertoire
Of recorded music is singularly complete
both as regards performance and music
interpreted.
At least one artist who will, not be
with US in person this coming season is
Ysaye, the great Belgian. But In the
course Of each OF his last two visits to
this country he made a phenomenally
successful series OF recordings. all Of
which apparently have not yet been
Issued, for his name heads the list Of
new offerings in the September list Of
Columbia records. This time II Is the
ever-nobular Dvorak's "Humoreske" that
he plays.
Other artists OF distinction who have
already established their reputation IN
this country are Bernice De Pasquali.
Maggie Teyte and Morgan Kingston,
all Of whom are represented in this new
est issue.
There is a real nautical flavor to one
double-disc-for II has a medley OF sea
chanties on one side and a medley OF
reels. jigs and hornpipes on the other.
The gradual disappearance of the sail
ing vessel In modern seafaring and con-
sequent passing Of the picturesque typi-
cal "old salt" make doubly interesting
this attractive medley OF the charac-
teristlc songs OF the deep-sea sailor as
sung IN the old days to accompany the
various activities Of the SAILORS daily
round-getting under way, manning the
capstan. hosting the yards, and 50 on.
There Is. OF course, the usual large
assortment Of late song hits and dance
music.
