News for 7heafer Goers and Women Readers
REVELATI0NSOF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRLSON

" We'll, what have you got to say. for yourself?" Dicky's words were distinctly ungracious, but his tone was less angry, and he sat down in 9 chair opposite me as he spoke.
 Keep the Change
 If I had been less intent upon settling once for all our household finances I could have borne Dicky's insulting manner. I had heard that husbands sometimes spoke to their wives as they dared address no other woman, and I was finding out the truth of the saying. But 1 had too much at stake to spend my ammuni- tion upon small resentments. I waited until I could control the trembling of my voice before I spoke.
 T probably owe you an apology for not bringing the bill to you instead of paying it myself" I began, but the man appeared to need the money so sorely, and it had been running so long,"
 Dicky flushed hotly. fHe would have been paid long long ago if he hadn't been so internally impudent," he growled.
 l ignored this outburst and went on:
 You cannot know, Dicky, how it gals me to owe anybody anything. l could not enjoy any of these things you have provided for me if thought that the money which bought them actually belonged to creditors"
 You may salve your tender con- science, madam" Dicky sneered, with the knowledge that you have paid the only bill I owe which has run longer than the current month. I am in the habit of paying my debts. I went out of the city suddenly and forgot all about this fellow, and he had the impotence to appear at the studio when I was giving a blowout. You can imagine my embarrassment. I have never paid any more attention to him. Oh, by the way"
 with three ten dollar bills which he scornfully tossed into my lap with much the same gesture as he would have tossed bone to a dog.
 Keep the change for your trouble" His voice was unbearable.
 The tone and words were like the flick of a whip. Self-control, good breeding, will power, all slipped from me like a garment. With the temper of a fish-wife, I snatched the bills from my lap and threw them full in Dicky's face.

LYCEUM PRESENTS
 TODAY" TONIGHT

Thrillingly human, intensely dra- matic and superbly acted, Today" which comes to Lyceum tonight fairly lept into the affections of theater- goers and quickly established itself as the biggest dramatic success of the season of 1913-14 in New York at the 18th street theater. The story that of an extravagant and willful woman who goes astray through her inability to adapt herself to her hus- bands reduced circumstances and comes to a tragic end-is told so eioquently that the spectators are
 held spellbound in their seats. With
 the thrills there are plenty of laughs, the whole combining to make an en- tertainment that will live for years. The Stamford Advocate has the fol- | lowing to say about Today which played in Stamford Monday:-"To-
 day. is good play and it was well acted here."

Beth is one of the most popular perform CTS on the bill. With the first nighters'' she scored big hit, he' several vocal selections winning big applause. The young lady is vii vacious comedienne and she inJects lots of life in the act. She has a good singing voice and very fetching mannerisms, making clever use "f both in her efforts to captivate her audience. Her songs are we'll select ed and they find favor with the au- dience. MT. Lambert plays piano entertainingly and contributes much towards the success of the act.

 Adele" the biggest musical comedy
 success of recent seasons and which
 was received in New York City at
 the Longacre theater by every dra- matic critic in New York as an un- qualified success. Its presentation here will be marked by the best sing ing organization seen on tour since
 the days of the famous "Bostonians. The company includes; Myrtle Jer-

 Maurice Lavigne, Felix Haney, Frei Frear, Dorothy Betts, Sidney Davies, Jules Epailly, Elcie Burt, Margaret Livingstone, Priscilla Maddox, Eddie Sewell, Dorothy Fernandez, Isabel Carpenter, Leila Thorne, Vivian Bren- 1 nan, and others.
 Adele" was written by Paul Herve and Jean Briquet authors of Alma" and adapted to the English stage by l Adolf Philipp and Edward A. Paul. l ton, author of "Erminie.'' The story of Adele" briefly concerns a young girl. Adele, wos is in love with Robert Friebur, the son of her fa- | ther's business rival, but cannot get | her parents consent to her marriage l She then persuades her father to ar range for her to be married to a member of the French nobility, Baron Charles de Chantilly, who is a bank rupt, and upon whom her father is willing to settle a large sum of mon- ey. She plans, imm ediately after the l marriage ceremony, to separate and secure a divorce and then marry the man she really loves, since, by a pro- vision in the French law, once having been married, she is then free to | marry without the consent of her par 1 ents. The Baron at first refuses but l finally consents and it is then that 1 fate takes a hand, and Adele finds l that her heart is not with her first 1 love and so complications pile up, which at last are cleared away and ] husband and wife live happily ever after. The music, consisting of twen- l ty-two numbers are new, delightfully."- sweet and pleasing.

 A Birthday Card But No
 Desk Handles
 Some time ago I wrote a hard ware firm in the east for a particu- lar kind of handle for a desk. The firm told me the price, and said they would mail handles. l sent them a check and for many weeks the desk went without handles. could get no reply from the firm. and was in despair. l wrote to q friend to ask if she could not try to find out what the trouble was, and told her the in- convenience I was suffering. She re- piled that she had not been within couple of blocks of the store, and did not often go in that direction. A few days later she sent me a birthday card with a charming sentiment. She brides herself on sending appropriate cards, and spends hours looking for them. I can assure you l was not particularly grateful was so- pro- voked at having her spend the time in her way of doing nice thing. rather than in the practical way really wanted. Again l write to city friend and ask how skirts are being made this season, as have engaged a dressmaker for next week and am uncertain. She replies by describing the opera she has attended recently. Another, who knows I love recipes for new dishes. tells me of the dinners she has gone to, and the trouble she has had with her cook, but she does not think of describing food-and so it goes! I know that probably do the same thing myself, but when We are going to give. whether it's letter or a material gift or service why can't we think what will really please the recipient, instead of what plcases us?"
 Why indeed?
New Britain herald., 1915-10-19

In my evening paper the other day I read that a certain well known life prisoner, who has recently died in prison, asked in his last letter to his wife, when he knew that he was nearing death, that his body be ere mated and his ashes scattered to the four winds of Heaven.
 Can't you just feel in that request his rebellion against the walls that have suffocated him for so long and his passionate desire that in death. at least, he shall not be imprisoned but be as free as air?
 She Didn't Approve of Cremation.
 It seems to me I can, but evidently his wife cannot, for the item went on to say that she does not approve of cremation, and was considering where to bury him.
 Isn't that typical of a certain class, the people who will go to infinite trouble and expense for their friends, but persist in doing for them and giving them only the things they themselves want, even when they do not know these are the things their friends want, and sometimes when they actually know they are not

JAIL FOR DRUNKEN AUroIsTs.

In the future automobile drivers who
come before Judge \. Chester Clark of
Concord, n H., charged with operating
a machine while under the influence OF
liquor will be severely dealt with and
sentence to the Jail or house of cor
rection will be imposed.
This was but one of several points
dwelt upon by the judge Saturday,
when \. NJ. Ingersoll of Henniker
plead guilty to operating his auto
mobile when intoxicated.
In a scathing denunciation of
drunken drivers Judge Clark paid spe-
cial attention to Ingersoll, upon whom
he imposed a fine of 500 with
costs of $4.62 and to be confined i'll the
Concord Jail for three months, the
prison sentence to be suspended upon
payment of costs and Ingersoll s com
pIiance with the following condition
named by the judge:
That IngcrsolI is to 20 to some in
stitution for the treatment of inebriety;
submit to such treatment, promise
upon his honor never to touch intoXi-
eating liquor as long as he lives, re
port to the court at least once every
month until further notice and to con
duct himself as a good citizen should.
On top of this, Ingcrsoll S license is au-
Dramatically revoked by his conviction
| The use of Intoxicating liquor to any
extent should be an insurmountable
barrier to the granting of a chauffeur 5
license, Judge Clark declared, and he
favors a sentence to Jail or the mouse
of correction as the only deterrent that
can be administered to drunken auto
mobile drivers.
! The drunken automobile driver
ieopardizcs the lives of himself an(
those who may be riding with him, anC
the public at large who have a right
to safety on the public highways. A
fine has but little effect as a deterrent
as no difficulty arises in paying il
