old lady decided that the boarding school is the place for such beings While there she gets her companions into all sorts of scrapes. She gets herself in trouble by falling in love with a friend of her art teacher, and she marries him. Of course, this dis appoints her aunt, with whom she lives.

REVELATIONSOF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRNgON

Ridiculous as I knew my feeling was, I had a queer little intuition that the woman was other than what she seemed, that she had reasons for being at the peaceful farmhouse other than her ostensible one of escaping the city's heat.
 To my intuitive dislike of the woman was added the sympathy I felt for Mrs. Cosgrove. That Mrs. Allis, with all the weapons of a woman of the world at her command, was trying to make the lonely older woman of the farmhouse uncomfortable, not only by cat-like thrusts at her cookery and household manage ment, but by coquettish advances toward her jovial giant of a husband, I very sure.
 As I saw again in Mrs. COsgroves s eyes the glint of anger at Mrs. Allis' mockery,. I resolved that during the week I should be under the farmhouse roof I would do my level best to make things as pleasant as possible for the hostess of the farmhouse and as un- pleaant as I could for the younger woman.
 We finished the meal in a silence which evidently made jolly MT. Cos grove mfortable. For as soon as we had refused third helping of food he pushed back his chair with alacrity.
 eff you folks have nothing better to do' he said Suppose you come along into the parlor; there's some pictures of the mountains and streams around here that I think you'd like. My brother-in-law painted them, and most city people I've seen think they're pretty fine.'
 Madge Makes a Resolution.
 I knew that Dicky must be exceed ingly bored by MT. Cosgrove's request. It always annoys him to be asked to look at the work of amateurs. But I forgot to look at him in my wonder at what I saw in the other faces around the supper table.
 In the eyes of Mrs. Cosgrove and her twin sons there was a tenseness of expression which made me believe that in one unaccountab1e way the paintings in the parlor were connected in some mysterious manner with the fear I had seen in Mrs. COsgrove's eyes when I had said I could tell her twin boys apart.
 But it was the expression in Mrs. Allis' eyes that riveted my glance. At the mention of the pictures, although not a muscle of her face had changed, her eyes had narrowed and into them had crept the same look of furtive watchfulness which l had seen my pet Angora give the pitcher of cream when she was waiting for her supper.
 Her look strengthened the impress sion I had that there was some ulterior reason for her presence at the farmhouse.
 I became suddenly curious to see the paintings which could arouse such emotions.
 I made up my mind also to watch Mrs Allis very closely.

Quarreling In Public.

The other evening, as we were walking down the street to attend a political meeting, a young couple passed me.
 He was scOwling, she was talking in a high pitched voice. Just as they came opposite to- Us we heard her say sharply, 'All right, then, why didn't you go alone?"
 There was nothing very bitter in the words, but the tone was packed with bitterness. One could feel all manner of accusations and recrimina- tions and irritabilities behind it.
 They Made Us Feel Unhappy, Too. We were in a holiday mood and across it, like a dark cloud across the sun, passed the shadow of their irrita- blity.
 It is very unhappy, unlOvely thing for married people to be bitter with each other.
 It is one shade more unlovely fo1 them to show bitterness in public.
 To be sure, even happily married people must som etimes disagree There would be something wiring with them, some lack of individuality il they thought alike on all subjects But they can think differently withou saying disagreeable things, or snap ping each other up, or scolding o1 jawing or sullSing or scowling. They Must Come to Some Agreement Of course many subjects on whic they disagree involve action and i these cases some kind of an agree | ment as a basis for action must 1 reached.

INDIAN WAR WHOOPS
 AND CHAPLIN GOGGLES

Bull Bear, grandson of Red bearing at Keeney's this week with a number of his tribesmen. The In- dians are attracting considerable at tnntion throughout the city, their pic- turesque garb making them the cyn- osure of all eyes as they walk about the streets. Bull Bar gives an in- teresting bit of American history as h;s part of the entertainment while his associates do some remarkable rope spinning. The Indians left the reservation in South Dakota to tour the country by special permission from the government. Their act is novelty of exceptional merit and it is finding favor every day.
 Kelly and Bers offer an act that has some excellent comedy features while The Four Youngs play variety of musical instruments in pleasing fashion.
 continuous laugh describes Be- hind The Scenes" the new Mutual comedy in which Charlie Chaplin is appearing. The picture is to be the feature of the photoplay program for the entire week. It is a great gloom chaser and the audience gets many laughs while it has place on the screen.
 Emory Johnston and Lois Wilson will make their bows tonight and to- morrow in 'The Morals Of Hilda," Red Feather feature. Wrist Watch es," the latest episode in the "Bea- t2jce Fairfax" serial is also to have place on the program.

Miss Belle Flower as the naughty grand dame also has her share of admirers. The dancing of Walter Wills, whose rapid fire meth cd of wooing is a revelation, has es- tablished his reputation beyond the slightest doubt. He is the life of the company Musical selections by George Bogues and William Meehan contribute towards the success of the show while Ralph Sipperly gives an excellent impersonation of an agricul- turist fresh from the farm

And, of course, there are times when either one feels strongly against some line of action pursued by the other. But such matters can be set tied infinitely more happily and just as effectively without nagging or scolding. (You may think this is just words, but it isn't. If you hold it as an ideal and make some sacrifices for it, you will find out how much it can accomplish)
 And surely such matters can be settled with much more decency and | dignity in private.
 Nothing is more disagreeable than to be with couple who allow them l selves to quarrel in the presence of others. friend of mine told me that she once went to a house. party where there was such a couple, and that, although every other detail about the party was pleasant, these people spoiled the flavor of it.
 They Spoiled the House-Party. ] We all felt constrained and un- comfortable and ashamed (though they were the ones who ought to have been ashamed)," ;" she said, "when they quarreled, which was every lit tie while. And they kept appealing to the rest of us to side with them, and you know how pleasant that is."
 Of course it does take a great dea1 of self control not to show irritation when one feels it, sometimes. But re- member this, self-control is the primo factor or real breeding. Though VOL follow every rule of etiquette and lack , this control, you will surely be sci down as ill-bred.

EVERYONE PRAISES
 LYCEUM SINGERS

Hundreds of play-goers in New Britain are voluble in their praise of the Russwin Lyceum Musical Comedy company, which opened the season this week with "The Time, the Place and the Girl" Probably no company ever appearing here has received such genuine endorsement and the general opinion is that the company will be given such support that its stay in New Britain will continue until the warm weather of next spring.
 It has been pleasant surprise to see with what efficiency each member of the company has filled his or her respective role. Miss Georgia Camp bell, the sweet singing prlma donna, has sung her way into the hearts or

Little Mar orie Dung Dead

With profound sorrow The Chief
reports the untimely death Of Mar
jorie Young, the. six-year-old daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. I. Young, Of
Evan Hall plantation, who passed
..Way shortly after noon Friday as the
result of most deplorable happen
ing. It seems that in taking medicine
for an illness a. year or SO ago, the
little girl had learned to swallow pills,
which she considered quite an ac-
complishment. While alone in her
mothers room yesterday she climbed
up on the dresser and thus gained ac-
cess to the medicine chest, which was
on the wall out Of reach OF the CHI
dren, and, taking down q bottle OF
sugar-coated pills containing small
quantity Of strichnine, she swallowed
enough of the pellets to cause death
short time later. The funeral took
place this forenoon at II O'Clock, ser
vices being conducted at the Metho-
dist church by Rev. P. 0. Iowrey, as
sisted BY Rev. r. Fl. Prosser. We ex-
tend to the grief-stricken members OF
the family our heartfelt sympathy IN.
this hour Of their great sorrow.

didate, and the juniors have entered
Miss Letitia Thibodaux. Other nomi-
nations to date are Misses Clara
