She waited for long time. Over

be nothing but one veil of light. The

Julia was silent. A great reserve
seemed to seize her heart, to stifie
her as the poverty of her love story
struck her. She sat turning her cof-
Teaspoon between her fingers, her
eyes downcast. She had very little
to tell. She might never have any
more to tell. Yet this was her love
story. But the presence of Sabron
was so real. and she saw his eyes
clearly looking upon her as she had
seen them often; heard the sound of
his voice that meant but one thing
and the words of his letter came back
to her. She remembered her letter

kissed Julia. She asked nothing more.
She had not learned her lessons in

At night they sat out in the moon

over the sands was like the snow
flowers. Wrapped in their warm Gov
erings, Julia and Therese de la Maine
lay on the rugs before the door of
their tent, and above their heads
shone the stars so low that it seemed
as though their hands could snatch
them from the sky. At a little dis
lance their servants sat around the
dying fire, and there came to them the
plaintive song of Azrael, rs he led

THE WHIRL OF LIFE"
 FULL OF COMEDY

All the life story of MT. and Mrs Vernon Castle as told in the photo play, "The Whirl of Life" was writ ten for amueement purposes only and abOunds in delightful comedy there is a potent lesson to be drawn from it which will profit all who will take it to heart. It proves most conclusively that success can only be attained by perseverance and hard work and that no matter how blue life may seem there is always a chance for a change and improvement and that the whole thing lies in being ready to seize the opportunity when it is presented. If MT. and Mrs Vernon Castle had given away to vain regrets when starvation stared them in the face instead of gritting their teeth and going out to look for work together they would never have become the greatest ex- ponents the world has ever known of modern dancing and amassed the inn mense fortune they now have. "The Whirl of Life.' is announced for the Lyceum, Saturday and Sunday next. with matinee Saturday.

REVELATI0NS0F WIFE|
By ADELE GARRLEON

She was gowned in a white linen skirt, and white "middy,'' with white tennis shoes and white stockings. Her dress was most unsuitable for the winter day, although the house was warm. but with another flash of remem- brance of my own past privations, realized the reason for her attire This costume could be rubbed and ironed if it became soiled. It would s,and a good deal of wear. Her other clothing must be kept in good con- dition for the times when she must go outside of her home.
 A Sinking Heart.
 But if she had known of Dicky's mission and gowned herself according ly she could not have succeeded better in satisfying his artistic eye. He stared at her open-mouthed as she spoke a conventional word of greet ing, and showed us into a bedroom hung with chintzes and bright with the winter sunshine,
 "The bathroom is just opposite' she said as she left the room after strengthening a shade and pulling a couple of chairs nearer the window. You will find fresh towels and soap if you wish them'
 She was as calm, as unconsciously regal as she had been in the train. There was no trace of tears on her face, such as I had seen on her sisters. Evidently she was able to control her grief, whatever, it was knew, however, that she was not as indifferent to Dicky's op>n admiration as she appeared. The slightest he1ghtening of the color in her cheek, a quickly-veiled flash of her eyes in his direction-these things I noticed in the short time she was in the room with us.
 Was Dicky too absorbed in his plan TOT his drawings to see what I had seen? His words appeared to indi- cate that he was.
 Gee" He drew a long breath as we heard Miss Draper-the name I had heard the bus driver give her going down the stairs. If I get a chance to talk to her today I'm going to make her promise to save that rig to pose in. She's the exact image of what I want. And graceful! Grace by name and grace by nature.' The old saw certainly holds good in her case.'
 I did not answer him. As laid 6 side my furs and removed my hat ana coat 1 felt a distinct sinking of the heart. l knew it was foolish, but the presence of this girl in whom D1cky displayed such interest took all the pleasure out of the days outing.

MRS. CAMPBELL IN
 COMEDY AT PARSONS

Theatergoers have been so accus- toned to seeing Mrs. Patrick Camp bell in highly emotional roles that her appearance in a comedy part is being looked forward to with keen an- ticipation.
 In George Bernard ShaWS rOman- tic comedy, "Pygmalion," which Mrs. Campbell and her London company will present at The Parsons theatcr on Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee, Mrs. Campbell is seen in the part of Eliza Doolittle, an unkempt, vulgar and slangy flower girl of the slums of London. The last three acts of the play show her being transformed by a professor of phon- cites, whose hobby is dialect and pro- nunciation, into a woman possessing the manners and graces of a duchess. The final acts afford Mrs. Campbell the opportunity to display her extra ordinary good taste in the matter of costumes.
 Dwight Elmendorf will deliver his illustrated lecture, Norway, the Land of the Midnight Sum- at the Parsons theater next Monday night, under the auspices of the Hartford Grade Teach ers' club. There has been a large seat sale, but a few choice locations remain and can be had by applying at the box office.
 No greater interest is ever mani fested in the appearance of a theatri- cal entertainment than that attaching

 When I dropped in the other night he was reading aloud. Were read ing Dickens, this winter" she said, laying down the little jacket she was crotcheting for the youngest grand child We both love him"
 Which one of his children wosld have sat before the fire with their father, evening after evening, reading Dickens?
 He is very fond of the great out doors, and so is she. Every Satur- day afternoon the two of them take a long tramp. Which one of his chil dren would keep Saturday afternoens' inviolate for that tramp?
 They Go to Vcspers Together.
 He loves organ music, and every Sunday afternoon they go to a vesper service where there is fine music. Which one of his children could be, depended on to always accompany him?
 Mind you, they are good children and they love their father, but of course they have their own interests and those interests are not alwaysI his. Hers are.
 He is happy with a reconstructedl quiet happiness that I feel sure his | first wife would never resent. I dol not doubt that his love for her is justI as deep and sacred as ever. If she could look down and see him lonely, with no one to share his little pleas ures, dependent on the crumbs sof his children could spare him, would she be happier?
 Not she, nor any other wife wh0 really loved her husband.

DOUBLE BILL AT
 POLI'S THIS WEEK

Difficult as is the problem of pre- senting a stock production each week with the learning of lines, rehearsing. etc., the Poli Players establish what is believed to have been unheard of ill stock producing circles next week, when a double bill will be presented. It is true that some stock companies have presented different productions the first and last half of the week, the Poli Players will go this record one better by presenting one play for the first five rnatinees of the week and another play the six evenings and Saturday afternoon. The management announces as the attraction for the first five matinees a return, by pop ular request of the sensational play, "The Blindness of Virtue," the play which proved so popular when it was presented by the Players, several

How could he? That is what many of the neiehbors said when a ne1ghbor of ours married again. The young people, I think, were more severe than the middle-aged and the old. Haven't you noticed they usually are in such cases? Forty-five or fifty seems pretty near the jumping-off place to them, and they don't see why anyone who has had a happy married life until then shouldn't be satisfied
 However, that's a bit beside the point The point is that we all. young and old, with various degrees of fervor said, How could he marry again after such a perfect compan- ionship as he had with his first wife?'
 Perhaps I Shall Be Little More
 Careful.
 This was about four years ago. The other evening when I dropped in to visit this neighbor and his wife (who has incidentally become one or the best-loved women in the neigh bOrhOOd), some allusion in the con- verSatiOn brought back to my mind the day I heard they were to be mar ried. And I thought to myself -"I will never again criticise what oth F people find best to do." Of course I shall, but perhaps I shall be a little more careful.
 When this man announced his in tention of marrying again, many pc ple said, His children are grown up. It isn't as if he needed wife to look after young children. And what does he need of a companion? Can't his unmarried children be companions to him?'
