REVELATIONSOF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRIGON

City house. You must mark that house, Margaret and find out when it is to be torn down, as it eventuall,, will be. Richard could buy that door TOT a comparatively small sum then. It would make a, beautiful entrance TOT the house he will build some day.
 It IS characteristic of the elder Mfs. Gfaham that she never says
 lSh lt! but Ut is''; never Don't you thlnk SO, but "I think so." and
 | know never Ought you not but
 ou must i have never known a more decided woman in my life.
 Ihere ought to be a stairway and) other httlngs inside to match that door, she went on. T think we will go in and ask about them. I see a sign, Furnished rooms!"
 Merely a Postponement.
 'Dont you think Mrs Graham" lnterposed deferentially, that we had better postpone this visit until some other time? The daylight does not last sVery long at this time of the year. and the trip to the old section of New York will take un 9 good deal of time.'
 My mother-in-law drowned ouicl1ly. She evidently was about to make an Impatient answer. Then suddenly her brow cleared
 Yes, I suppose we might as we'll hurry on," she said. "I shall want a good deal of time to go through this house properly. We will come down some morning and say we are looking for rooms, then we will have a chance to look over everything thoroughly
 l tried to keep the dismay I felt out Of my face. The idea of pretending a search for rooms, which we had not the slightest intention of taking, was most distasteful to me, but I kept silent, resolving to avoid the proposed trip if it were possible for me to do so.
 Mrs. Graham made no more stops, and we soon came to the Twenty eighth street subway entrance
 "Oh. this is hideous' she said with the quick decision which charac- terizes all her remarks. T have seen pictures of these, and I thought when ] saw them that it was pity to spoil the streets with such structures. but the reality is much worse than I imagined. What ever possessed them ?''
 Then, as l remained silent, "Y ou agree with me, of course?"
 'l am sorry to say 1 do nOt,' I said firmly, for her absolute air of 1inality irritated me. Of course it is unfortunate that the entrances had to be above ground, but as long as there has to be some. sort of an en- trance way, l think these Turkish kiosks are the best things possible. I have heard many people of good taste say that they thought they added a picturesque touch to the streets.''
 '"They ought to go to school,' was my mother-in-law's acid retort as we entered the subway

There are few things less kind and more futile to my mind than the faint praise given by the person who is trying to steer middle course be- tween telling a lie and saying outright that he doesn't like your new hat or other new appurtenance.
 When anyone tries to compromise between being unkind and telling an untruth, he Cor she, more likely) us. ually succeeds only in being unkind and telling a half-truth which is by intention an untruth.
 For instance, you have a new gown. You put it on for inspection. It is a blue gown. Your inspector looks you over and says, Yes, it's real pretty, this in half-hearted tones. A moment or two later she asks what became of the brown dress you used to wear, ana says with fervor, T do like you in brown
 Have you any doubt what she thinks of your new dress, which IS not brown? Not the slightest.
 She Admircs Your Lace, Not Your
 Gown
 Or you display your new evening gown. Not a word about becoming ness or style says the audience. but Isn't that lovely piece of lace?" Or course you are glad to have your lace admired, but you know perfectly well that she doesn't like the. rest of the Cown She has saved her soul alive by telling only the truth, and she has given you that sick, miserable feel ing which any woman has when she finds that the new gown she has lotteu on so much is not becoming, espe. Cially when she knows that she cans not have another for many moons.
 Again, you appear i'll your new hat and wait in breathless hopes and fears for the verdict.

Half Truths or None

Couldn't you tip it a little more td- one side?" inquires the jury. There, that's better!" with an accent to the "better'' that says all too plainly that it is so only by comparison with very feeble good.
 They Think They Are Tactful and
 Truthful, But--
 Doubtless all these people think they have been tactful in saying noth- ing unllind, and truthful in that they said nothing but the truth.
 As for the usefulness, did they never hear of damning with faint praise?
 As for truthfulness, isn't it their intention to make the possessor thinif they liked the gown or hat? And what is lie but "an intention to deceive?"
 What would I have them do? If the Thing Can Be Changed I Say
 l Dislike It.
 I would not want to advise in so delicate d matter, but if you want my own method of procedure, here it is: If the thing is something which cas- be changed, like a method of hair dressing or a garment sent on ap- proval or a suitor being weighed in the balance, and l don't like it, I say so frankly.
 But if it is something irrevocable, say I like it, not so enthusiastically perhaps as I do when I'm really pleased, but warmly enough not to give my nearer a chill
 One thing I'm careful to do. don't repudiate my judgments by ad- hitting afterwards when the dress is thrown aside that I never like 1t.
 Doubtless St. Peter will think much less of me than if I merely lied by in- ference. And yeti wonder?

EPISODE VII.

"Wel. it just happened that the day Mary hit the big town I had a date with Webster, the real boss of the musical comedies. Of course he isn't the sort that you'd want to send your little sister from the country to see, but too much hedging don't go in the show business worth a WhOOp. You've got to trust to a sharp tongue and a hat-pin till you show them where they get off, and once they're wise, they treat you all right. Web ster was like that, but if he prom ises you a part he plays fair, so l never was afraid to buck his office boy even on busy day. Well, when Mary told me she had a han kerng for grease paint and six weeks of being sworn at in rehearsals, | said she'd better come go right along with me, and maybe Webster would let us do a sister act by getting us jobs in the same chorus. Mary was tickled to death, so off we went.
 'I had an appointment with the old man but he was scrapping with one of his romantic leads'-you could hear them clear out to the front hall and it was a long time before I could persuade his little cerebuS to go in and tell him l was waiting. At any rate he came out at last blowing blasts of red fire after the actor-and then he saw Mary. Talk about lions and lambs! Why, he purred when he saw her, and he was so sweet to nc I almost got a leading lady's contract out of him before he woke up, and began to ask me questions about Mary. Something in the way he looked when I said I was a full sized chaperon, but when he said to send her in to talk to him, he might be able to place us both.' l didn't dare turn down the chance of a double meal ticket, so l went out and Mary went in.'
 Was there any one in the office at the time?"
 No, the ot1ice-boy beat it as soon as the actor had gone, and the 'sten- og had already deserted the keys, so we had the suite to ourselves That was what made me leerN. At any rate, when Mary was in the private office I sneaked up and played the keyhole game to a finish. It was

NOVELTY BILL AT
 FOX'S THEATER

It is very evident a master stroke has been made in the inauguration ut I'oX's of the double feature policy, that of presenting two big features of sterling CaliDre on one program. During all of the past week crowded houses attested to the immense popu- Iarity of this innovation.
 While the question of the proper bookings is ever important, the pro- lection of the productions must also be taken in consideration. A picture projected in d theater must be seen from all angles. The patrons sitting in the boxes must have the same view as those sitting in the center of the theater. There must be no ContOrted views and in order to have this a spe- cially treated screen was installed last Friday.
 Patrons are assured of seeing brilliant, perfect and absolutly natural picture hereafter which will stand comparison with any of the theaters in New York or New England.
 The program for today and tomor- row will be voted by those who will witness any of the performances as a gallant array of features that offer a world of amusement and entertain Woodruff, the juvenile actor in The

MANY CELEBRITIES
 IN SCREEN FEATURES

With Pauline Frederick heading a capable cast, the Famous Players company will offer a picturization of the great Oriental drama, Bella Don- na," as one of the feature photo- plays at Keeney's tonight and tomor- row. The picture is one of tho best in which the celebrated actress has appeared. Wing with it for first honors will be The Dream of Eugene Aram", Tyrone Powers figuring prom inently in the cast presenting it.
 For Wednesday and Thursday the management announces the Big Four feature, Thou Art the Man, in which Virginia Pearson and Joseph KilgOur appear. In this big dram;- of the desert there are big opportunl- ties for stirring climaXes. It offers both Miss Pearson and Mr. Kilgour ex- cellent chances to demonstrate their histronic ability and it is safe to say that it is probably the best vehicle in which they have been seen on the screen. The seventh episode in The Strange Case of Mary Page will also be shown on these days.
 Edna Goodrich will be seen in he1 photoplay debut Friday and Saturday. The feature picture for these days will be "Armstrong's Escape It is a big film and it should prove win her here.
 While the picture program for the week is better than the average the management announces that the Vaud- eville bill will also be of an unusually high order. Four good acts have been secured for the entertainment Of the patrOnS

Another ''Straw Vote"

While folks are publishing and
other folks are perusing the usual pre-
election "straw-vote," we herewith
submit one recently taken in the City
Club of Baltimore. The City Club is
a popular organization with several
thousand members, patronized as a
lunch place chiefly by clerks and
younger business men.
Hughes, S4.
Wilson, 81.
This is the result of a poll of the
City Club taken Tuesday.
Four years ago these voters cast
their ballots as follows.
Taft, 20.
Roosevelt. 35.
Wilson, 80.
Ten men only of the 146 failed to
say how they voted in 1912.
On this 20-35-80 vote of 1912 the
ballots cast in Baltimore city for Taft
and Roosevelt four years ago about
equaled the vote given to Wilson.
This straw vote shows a gain of 54
per cent. for Hughes over Taft and
Roosevelt combined, while the loss for
Wilson is 20 per cent. over his 1912
vote.
1t is this loss of support by the
President. even more than the gain
in the vote for Hughes over Taft and
Roosevelt that indicates serious trou-
bic for the Democratic nominee.

Company E Ordered Home

Official orders were received at
Eagle Pass on Thursday to have the
First Maryland Infantry report to its
State mobilization camp at Laurel,
Nd, as soon as possible. This will be
good news to the relatives and friends
of the boys and there is much rejoic-
ing in these "diggins." In view of the
fact that thousands of the National
Guard have been brought home in the
last few weeks it has been felt for
some time that the return of the First
Maryland Regiment must be close at
hand. Indeed, there has been much
just criticism of the delay in return
ing the boys of this Regiment, while
other troops have been brought back
that reached the border long after
our boys were there. The papers say
that the seven-day "hike" planned fol-
our boys will proceed just the SAND
as if the order for return had not been
received. If so it will be about twI
weeks before they can get back to thl
Maryland camp and some time late
before they can be mustered out.

Hughes In Maryland

Tuesday night, October 10, will be a
big night for the Republicans of Mary
land. Governor Hughes, Republican
candidate for President. will address
a great meeting at the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory. Mr.. Hughes remark
able campaign tour from the Atlantic
tC the Pacific, has stamped him as one
of the most attractive and popular
public speakers ever heard on the
political platform. 1t was therefore
determined to hold the meeting next
Tuesday night in the Fifth Regiment
Armory, as it is a building which will
accommodate about $4,000 people
the largest meeting place in the State.
There will be no tickets of admission
and no reserved seats on the platform
or elsewhere, as the meeting will be
open to the public on the plan of
first come first served. 1t is believed
the Armory's great space will be
needed to accommodate the expected
throng as already parties are organ
lZiHg to attend from all quarters of
the State.
Governor Hughes will come into
Maryland from Harrisburg. stopping
IN the early afternoon Of Tuesday at
the great Hagerstown Fair, where
thousands of people will greet him and
hear him. He will then be hurried to
Baltimore. He will be escorted from
the Emerson Hotel to the Armory by
big automobile parade. the route
being illuminated by red fire as the
procession parades.
Mr.. Hughes will be the only speaker
at the meeting.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. August IA renewal
of liquidation caused considerable ir-
regularity in the cotton market during
today's earlier trading. but declines
were followed by rather a sharp rally
late in the morning, with December
selling up from 1421 to 14.34. and
closing at 1892 The general list
closed steady at a net advance of to
10 points.
The market opened steady at an
advance of 3 to s points on covering
and little support from local bulls,
who may have been Influenced by the
extent of the recent reaction, and pros
poets for higher temperatures IN the
south. December sold at 1870 and
January at 14.39 during the first few
minutes but this bulge of about .
points from yesterdays low level
seemed to attract renewal of west
ern and Wall street liquidation. Prices
may have been some scattered selling
on the decline, owing to the somewh hat
more favorable average of weekly crop
reviews and rumors of an easier spot
that southern and local trade inter-
ests were absorbing contracts on a
scale-down, and after selling off to
1870 for January, or a couple of points
CnQer last night s close ana INTO new
low ground for the movement. the
market turned firmer. Perhaps the
absence of stop orders at a point under
Fridays lowest prices suggested
stronger technical position, and there
was a renewal of covering as well as
bull support on the advance in the late
trading, with January contracts SELL
ing up to 1443, or about 13 points
from the low level of the morning. The
detailed weather report showing no
rainfall and higher temperature in
Oklahoma helped the late advance,
while there were also reports around
the ring that more bullish crop advices
were being received this morning from
the Mississippi valley. AS Liverpool
was closed. there were no cables to
create sentiment here, while the more
favorable crop reviews appeared to be
offset by apprehensions of rising tenn
peratures in the eastern belt and the
continued drouth in parts of the
southwest.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS. August ia nerv-
Gus tone and rapid fluctuations with
in rather narrow limits featured the
cotton market today. Some liquidation
of long cotton was in evidence and
much was made of the hedge selling
by southwestern spot firms. This was
taken to mean that new crop cotton
was not meeting with any too ready sale.
Late in the session the trade viewed
unfavorably the prospects of continued
fair weather for Texas and Oklahoma
and the intensifying of the drouth con-
ditions in the two states. and a buying
wave resulted which put prices to the
highest levels of the day. a net gain of
six to ten points. The close was seven
to nine up, net.
Around the opening prices rose six
to eight points on supporting orders
from the long side. Support was brief
and the market fell Off on the forecast
of generally fair weather for the east
ern half of the belt. Minor fluctuations
occupied the better part Of the session,
the most active months at their lowest
sinking four to five points below yes
terday's close. Just before the session
ended the ring took on new activity
and firmed up rapidly on the weather
prospects in the west.
