 I'm Eddie HOch. I came over to see if maybe you'd want to hire boy to run errands or weed garden, or something like that. I ain't working Just now, and ma said it wouldn't do any harm to try anyway"
 "Grace Draper" Again.
 "surely not" I returned encour- agingly, for the thought struck me that with any shop or market over half a mile away we might often have use for the boys services. 'I shall be glad to call on you if I need anything"
 He looked around >appraisingly. Gee, you're doing a lot of cleaning around here. Celie said she guessed the house wouldn't know itself by the time you got through with it. The Rrennans never did much cleaning"
 I did not answer It struck mo that 1t would be rather dangerous to express any opinion save one about the weather or the beautiful views in this neighborhood into which I had moved. The boys next words clinched my determination.
 WaSnt that Mrs. Burche1l in here awhile ago?" he demanded. Ma said she hoped you wouldn't get in with her. She's an awful funny woman, and she treated my mother awful mean. She's got an awful mean son, too.

They say he's sick, but ma says he's plain lazy"
 ''I am very busy, Eddie," returned as tactfully as I could, and I won't need you today.'
 But Eddie had one more shaft in his quiver.
 Say, there's the funniest joke about you folks,' he observed You know Grace Draper, she came over and wanted to rent this place for an artist friend of hers. She never said a word about his being married, and we kinda thought it was her beau, and maybe she was going to get mar rled and live here herself. And then you came along. Ma says she should think you'd be jealous of Grace Draper. She's an awful pretty girl"

 How many kinds of slavery there are! How few people who are really free in the largest sense of the word!

 That's what I mean by slavery. That woman is a slave to her plans
 Again and again she misses things worth while because she is tied down by plans and schedules. She is never free to yield to some sudden impulse, to seize some unexpected pleasure, in- fnitely sweeter because it hasn't had half the taste taken out of it by ex- aggerated anticipation.
 Other people are slaves to posses sions. I know a woman who can never go away for the summer because she is afraid to shut her house up. She thinks she owns the house. As a mat ter of fact, the house owns her, and

THAT OLD FAVORITE
 AT FOX'S THEATER

The stellar attraction for today and tomorrow at Foxs popular playhouse will be William FOx's all star revival of the international stage success East Lynne" with Theda Bara in the leading role This feature has been brought to New Britain at a big expense on account of the big hit it has made in New York city, where 1t is being played at the Academy of music. The crowds there have been so tremendous that the film will be held over for the balance of the week and a special print had to be gotten out for the Fox theater in New Bri- tain. Miss Bara is supported by strong all star cast, including Stuart Holmes and Miss Claire Whitney. In this feature Miss Bara plays a part entirely new to her many admirers and one which gives her a chance to show that besides being a vampire woman she has other talents.
 Tn latest chapter of the popular serial story, The Iron Claw" the Paramount Bray Cartoons and a Mu- tual comedy will be shown in connec- tiOn with above. Under the auspices of the New Britain Milk Station the Paramount Better Babies'' film has been booked as an added attraction. This film is very instructive in the care of babies and, especially as the warm weather draws near, is of un- told interest to mothers and Is a film that every woman should be interested in seeing So that everyone will have an opportunity of seeing it the film will be shown for the balance of the week.

Spectacular aerial feats make the act of Morris and Morris, the flying Scotchmen, who are featured on the vaudeville bill at Keeney's this week, one of the most distinctive acrobatic turns that has been given here in a long time.

How Madge Classified Her New
 NeighbOrS


 Good morning.
 The words, uttered in the low tones of a woman's voice, startled me. I stood in the living room of the Brennan house on the outskirts of Marlin, which Dicky had rented, su- perintending the work of a big negro, who, with fanne1-covered brush, was wiping the dust and cobwebs from the ceiling and walls I had discovered earlier in the morning that while the oolored woman Mr. Brennan had en- gagged for me was a fairly reliable worker her husband had to be watched or his work would suffer So I had dispatched Katie and the woman helper to the bedrooms and attic, and supervised the mans work myself.
 I turned to the door to confront a tired-looking but pleasant-faced woman, spare of figure, with iron gray hair, features which once must have been pretty, and a, complexion which showed traces of beauty it possessed when it's owner was young.
 Good morning. I returned.
 'I am your neighbor, directly opposite, Mrs. Burchell," she said genial1y. " ran over to see if there was anything you needed. If you wish to use the telephone or I have anything which can help you, please consider me at your service.' -.
 Why, that is very kind of you, I am sure,'' I starnmered. I was really quite overcome at this neighborly kin,dne ess, which made me realize as almost nothing else could, the differ ence between the city from which I vas moving to the country village which was to be my home for the summer. I smiled involuntarily at the idea of a New York cliff dweller concerning herself about the com fort of a new ne1ghbor.
 'I am sorry I cannot offer you a chair" I went on. Perhaps I can find you a box"
 "Oh, no," she returned, smiling with me at the suggestion. "Here you, William,'' she turned to the big negro, you keep right on with your work. Never mind stopping to listen. You're paid by the hour remember"
 Mrs Burchell's Comment
 "Yass'm, yass'm m," the man said, grinning, and fell to drawing his brush down the walls with a lu- dicrous show of energy. I began to revise my opinion of my new neigh bor. Of course the man had loitered at his work when I relaxed my watch ing but her interference startled and annoyed me.
 She evidently had no conception of my feeling, however, for her next move was to lay confidential hand Cn my shoulder.
 Surely" she said. you are not going to keep that old square piano of the Brennans."
 MT. Brennan said this morning when he gave me the keys that he would have it taken away very shortly"
 Mrs Burchell laughed unpleasant ly.
 Don't you believe a word of it, v she said That man won't do one thing he isn't compelled to do. He s great. on promises. He will promise you anything, but doing 1t Is a differ ent matter. If I were in your place I'd call the junl1man if he doesn t send for it, and pitch it out bodily. Why. tho attic and cellar and barn and that little shack back there ln
