the sound of the shot had taken him down the hall with the others and into the room where Pollock and Mary lay-the one dead-the other unconscious.
 Ut was 1 who first urged that some one call the police," he said in his well-trained, youthful voice. 1T would have gone myself but I wanted to be sure first whether I could be of ser vice to Miss Page.
 Was that the reason vou refused to leave the room when ordered to do so by Detective Farley?" The prosecutors voice was dry.
 q resented his tone. sir" answer ed the young actor. And besides" ," flushing, Il was her leading man and l felt that it-it was my place to be with her rather than that a lot of strangers should hang about" 2 An involuntary smile crossed Lang don's lips. but they grew grave again at the next question:
 After your election by Detective farley and MT. Langdon did you leave the hotel?"
 No, sir. I waited in the hallway in case I was wanted"
 Did you re-enter the room ''
 Yes, sir-not immediately, but when l heard a confusion of voices following the re-entry of the house detective and MT. Langdon."
 Could you hear what was said ?''
 The actor flushed and hesitated. and then answered slowly:
 Yes, sir-in part
 S"Will you please repeat what part you heard"
 "I heard MT. Langdon say But good God. there's only one door she must be some place in here,' and the detective said, Well. she's not-you can see that Then MT. Langdon said There's the window-perhaps she's out there-I'Il see.' And his voico sounded queer and excited as if he were frightened, and the detective said, 'No-nothing doing on that, sir just remember. MT. Langdon, that as yet I've no way of knowing whether that shot was fired before or after you entered this room!"
 Did MT. Langdon reply?'
 "Yes,; he said, You damn fool, what do you mean?' But just then the police came up and ran in, and I went on in with them, and tho 1etective shouted, Some of you go own that fire-escape and hunt for irl in an evening gown without et- ther cloak or hat-and one of you keep your eye on this man Langdon he was either in this room or at door when David Pollock was murder ed!' |"

The Desire to Possess Possesses Us.
 That is the way it is with many things-we get our heart set upon them and the desire to possess them possesses us. Our longing for them ia soon out of all proportion to our need of them, or the pleasure they would actually give us. We become actually obsessed by them. ..... '.
 Sometimes other interests absorb us and we get our minds turned away from the thing and forget it. When we think of it again, our obsession, not having been fed, has died nat ural death, and to our surprise we find we can really be quite happy without the coveted possession.
 This is an excellent test to apply to and contemplated extravaganza. Put it determinedly out of your mind for a few months and then see if you want it as much as ever. If you still find you can't be happy without it. perhaps you have justification for buy ing it.
 You Won't Necessarily Be Happy With
 Because You're Unhappy Without.
 It takes most of us a good share of our lifetime to learn that we won't necessarily be happy with a thing just because we can't be happy with out it. And even after we have learned that as an abstract fact we often fail to apply it to our concrete experiences.
 Mind you, this is not an exhortation to niHGardliness. It is meant rather as d help to right spending. When I looked over my possessions there were several I would gladly give ups not because had paid too much, but becaEse had Daid too little for them. I should buy again and spend more
 Don't let yourself get happiness and great possessions confused, but don't get niggardliness and happiness mixed, either.

STAR AND CARTER
 SHOW IS BIG HIT

This weeks bill at the Grand the ater, Hartford, is proving to be one of the most entertaining burlesque performances that has appeared in the popular playhouse this season. The New Star and Garter Show is the at traction and from the time that the curtain ascends in the first act until the final closing, there is not dull moment.
 The troupe is readed by Bert Rose in the role of Lechinsky, returned Klondiker, and the comedy that is dispensed by this popular comedian, is of a side splitting character. MT. Rose is one of the best delineators of the Hebrew language that has ever appeared before a Capitol City audi ence. James Coughlin, as Michael McSWeeney, owner of a watermelon patch, also offers quaint comedy. His
New Britain herald., 1916-02-02

dancing skit in the first act brings forth meritorious applause.
 Too much can not be said for the work of Miss Margaret Lee, the prlma donna. Miss Lee is possessed Of a wonderful soprano voice and her se- lection of popular Irish melodies at the end of the first scene, is well re- ceived. Lovers of the terpsichorean art are afforded an opportunity of see ing three finished performers Tn MT. Colini, assisted by the Misses Williams and Bangor, who execute their act with skill and dexterity.<
 A feature which is something new to burlesque lovers is offered in the opening number of the olio, in the presentation of "The Great Deluge,' 8 living picture, which is work of art and which brings favorable com ment from the audience. Miss Ellen Woodrow as the "Aeroplane Girl" is. also pleasing.

Would You Buy It Again?

THERE'S SOMETHING I never regretted buying" said a friend of mine the other day, pointing to a book of reference. Why, if someone should offer me the money I paid for it. I wouldn't give it up!" -...
 He said it with considerable em- phasls. It was, evident that he re- garded that as a rather unusual rec omm ndation
 It shouldn't be, should it? And yet, when, following the train of thought he had started, I looked my posses slons over, l was surprised to find now many there were of which I couldn't say It.
 Suppose You Could Have Your Money u Suppose you could have the money to put in the bank or reinvest that you paid for any of your possessions (of course. I except worn-out clothes or furniture, or anything that you would like to get rid of, not because it is unsatisfactory, but because it is sl2 abby). Aren't there good many that you would cheerfully part with?
 And aren't some of these posses sions that you would now gladly spare things that you thought at the time of purchase you simply could not be happy without, perhaps made sacri- fees for, or acquired by spending money that you should have saved?
 Last year I wanted a certain thing with all my heart. My mind was set upon it, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. It was an extravaganza, but I thought of a dozen ways to justify it. We would stay home evenings more if we had it; it would save us money in that way, etc, etc. Finally, we bought it. That was a year ago. To- day if it were taken out of the house I might not realize it was gone.

looked inquiringly at me as I came opposite to the counter Mrs. Graham,' I answered his look. You have a bottle of cream for me- "Oh, yes, ma'am. Here it is" and neatly wrapped bottle was passed to me across the counter.
 A Surprising Realization.
 AS I entered the drug store again my spirits rose. One of the booths was empty. deposited the cream and the box of flowers on a counter near the booth, and took my huff ard purse in with me.
 I already had a nickel in my hand. Slipping the cord of my huff and the chain of my purse over my right wrist I took down the receiver with my left hand. The depositing of the nickel was a matter of some diff culty hampered as I was by the huff and purse, but I finally got it in, and heard centraTs familiar, Mum Der ?'

 There was a clink, and then long wait that seemed an eternity to me crouchen in the booth.
 Suppose Jack were not there! I would have no opportunity to tele- phone him.

 gle him at first, but he gets his revenge later .Whalen Trask
 Robbery of a bank by new comic method and Imaginable complications ensuing when amateur detectives get on the trail of the crooks are amazingly shown in this newest comedy. Ed. Kennedy and Louise Fazenda, the crooks conceive a brilliant idea of footing the bank with the aid of A vacuum cleaner and the running down of the thieves forms a most amaz- ing and delightful two reel comedy It will amuse everybody because it is based on an unusually novel idea which is executed with extra ordinary skill and recklessness of possible con- sequences to life and limb on the part of the prformers.
 In conjunction with this great comedy offering, D. w. Griffith pre- sents Lillian Gish supported by Ros- zika Dolly, the famous Broadway dancer in ''The Lily and the Rose" five part photodrama dealing with the external sex problem. This story should meet with the popular and un- qualied approval of the Fox patrons as it is graphic and true to life. There will be several single reels of careful selection that will frame one of the best programs offered in some time.

The belted frock is very smart one for little children and this is one of the newest and prettiest developments of the idea. It is very simple little dress with bodice and skirt portions cut in one, but the belt is passed through openings made for the purpose and its ends disappear under the box-plait. The square collar is charmingly attractive and the neck edge can be fn- ished as it Is here or without the collar and simply underfaced. White linen Is the material shown here, with the tr;7n- ming of linen serge in rose color and very pretty combination it is, but this is a dress that can be utilized for wool and for the simple child-like silks as we'll as for the washable materials. Challis or wool crepe, for example, would be very pretty with trimming of taffeta, and for the girl of six years a plain taffeta frock would be pretty with trimming of plaid, or, a plaid frock with trimming of plain.
 For the 4 year size will be needed, 4k yds of material 27 in. wide, 23s yds. 3o, 24 yds. A, with F yd. 27 in. wide for the trimming

EPISODE IT.

In an instant the whole room was the dock, and the sobs of the maid ] were echoed by more than one wom- ! an among the spectators, where sym pathy for the time ran high, though the pendulum swayed back when someone said shrilly with derisive laugh:
 She's a good actress, is Mary Page.'
 But the judges gravel quelled the excitement and the dire threat back of his curt words that unless there was order in the court he would clear the room, was like oil upon the troubled waters of the sea of onlook- ers and, they sat in hushed silence as Mrs. Page and Langdon knelt beside the unconscious form of the slim young sprisoner, bathing her temples and chafing her wrists until the momentary respit of nullity for sock her and she opened her eyes to the suffering of reality.
 At the sight of the fear on both Langdon's and her mothers face, however, she struggled bravely to regain her self-control, and when the clerk called the next witness, she was again in her chair. Very white and wan, but erect, her pallid lips set firmly to hold back the threatening tides of emotion and weariness that were sweeping over her.
 The drumming in her ears and the little waves of nausea that are the aftermath of a fainting fit made events blurred to her for little time, and it was with @ start of surprise that she recognized in the new wit ness her erstwhile leading man.
 The mere sight of his graceful fig ure and his boyish face, that handsome juvenile expression that was his stock In trade brought a flood of mem ories surging over her. and the shocked pity in his eyes made her realiz" keenly the difference that lay betwcc?

What child would fail to welcome bed slippers as quaint and pretty as these3 They are interestingly suggestive of the bunny, they are warm and cozy and are altogether satisfactory. at the came time that they arc very simple and easy to make. Any fur plush, fuzzy flannel of simple canton flannel can be used in either gray or white, the white of course making the daintier effect The ears of the white rabbit properly will be lined with pink and the eyes must have sug- gestion of pink, for without these bits of color, the bunny will hardly be complete. A few stitches of embroidery will suggest the mouth and buttons will suggest the eyes, sosthere is very little labor required, while the result Is sure to be satisfactory, The ribbon that is passed through slashes cut near the top of the shoes holds them in place.
