He Says

Commissioner Fenkell, OF the de.

ceeding slowly with his preliminary
preparations for the construction OF
q temporary bridge to Belle Isle, He
realizes that he has big job on his
hands. and he refuses at this time
TO declare definitely for any plan
II is not certain that the site OF
the temporary bridge will be at the
foot OF Parkview-ave. The board OF
supervisors and the war department
have TO approve the tentative plans
before construction work can be
started The supervisors will meet
in special session Saturday morning.
The Berry estate is strongly OPP
posed TO having the bridge at the
foot OF Parkview-ave. The estate
owns nearly all the property on both
sides OF Parkview-ave., from Jeffer.

erty along both sides OF Jefferson

this property is highly restricted for
residential purposes.

sioner Fenkell. Mr.. Mccormick and
the other engineers in his ONCE do
not favor the construction OF tenn
porary bridge as the most practical
plan to maintain communication be-
tween Belle Isle and the mainland.
The temporary wooden structure
will cost the city a great deal OF
money, and there is the danger OF
zee wrecking the bridge in the win

lieve that the best plan would be TO
carry visitors 10 and from the Island
In boats until the permanent bridge
is built. There are plenty OF passen-
ger boats around Detroit 10 safely
accommodate all island visitors. and
we can aito find large boats 10 carry
the automobiles back and forth

REVELATIONSOF A WIFE

me. l felt that never could forgive him for the nights suffering. I rap
 idly reviewed his offences of the eve
 ming. He had broken a treasured vase
 of mine in a fit of rage. He had gone
 to Lillian Gales without me, that ill
 itself bsing a humiliating thing to
 bear. He had come back half-intoN-
 icated at midnight and frightened me
 half out of my wits by insisting that
 I go back with him to the party.
 And now he was probably drinking
 himself into a state where he would
 not be responsible for what he would do.
 At that last thought, the nervous fear which was the strongest of all the emotions that racked me, drove every other thought out of my head. To my own surprise l realized that IL was not fear of Dicky that I felt buS fear for him, for his safety. l should
 never be afraid of him again, l knew that, and with that knowledge came the realization of the reason for my feeling.
 Fear for Dicky.
 Dicky was my man, in the oin'
 homely phrase, my own man, no mat ter what he did. He belonged to me- and whatever his sins and faults they were mine to cure or to endure. Ihe feeling of wife loyalty wrapped me round like a warm garment. l thought of one of Barrie's inimitable charac- ters, the woman who says or her suitor: Drink or no drink, he's Che man for me-" and I felt feeling Of
 kinship with him.
 I was ready for anything now. Even my fear for Dicky's safety slipped away. Someway I felt sure that soon
 he would come home to me. I knew
 he would be in no condition to listen to reproaches or advice even if I
 wished to give them to him. l resolv-
 cd to put all plans for the handling of
 future situations like this out of my
 head until saw the developments of
 this one. But must have strength to
 meet it, I decided, with return of my old boise and self control. slip ped the night lock on the door so that I would be awakened when Dicky at- tempted an entrance and lying down upon my bed soon fell asleep, ex- hausted by the events of the night and the violence of my emotions.

"EVERYWOMAN" HERE
 FRIDAY AT LYCEUM

Henry w. Savage's production of the dramatic spectacle "Everywoman" comes to the Lyceum Friday evening Oct. 29. It is play with a purpose, with a deep underlying basis of phii- osophy and while to a certain extent didactic the pictorial element, the costumes, lights and other adjuncts of the modern stage have combined to add to its effectiveness. The play is presented upon a huge scale and is one of Henry W. Savage's most lux urious productions. It is said that he considers it his most notable con- tribution to the American stage. The play came to him as a discarded and discredited rejected manuscript. He read 1t; recognized it's beauties; pro- duced it; and expended sixty thou sand dollars in a production which might have had a life of but one per- formance. Over four million people have witnessed "Everywoman" and it is still one of the most potent box
 office attractions in this country. A special orchestra accompanies the organization to render the impressive score which was written by George Whlteteld Chadwick. The cast con- tains score of we'll known names. Seats now selling at Crowell's.

 There is a plot of sufficient importance to retain the interest of the audience and the frequent interpolation of songs, dances and fashion parades makes it all-absorbing. Especially in- teresting and amusing is the scene in which is presented a vaudeville show, tho various players presenting special ties that show their versatility. For rest Seabury, Ada Dalton, Harry Hol- lingsworth and other members take their places in the seats in the thea ter and cause no end of trouble for those who are endeavoring to conduct the performance on the stage.
