EPISODE HI.


 "Yes, go on, Mr. Brandon,' urged the prosecutor, who seemed pleased With his witness.
 "Wen, Pollock was determined to follow them and we couldn't prevent him. l found myself dragged into the little room with him, and l slam med the door. But Dave, for some reason, was calmer now What does this mean, Mary?' he said.
 It means Miss Page answered, that 1 can't marry anyone but MT :. Langdon,' and Langdon went on, Now Dave what are you going to do about it?'
 The prosecutor interrupted: Did MT. Langdon know at that time that Mary's father had forged Mr. Pol locks checks?'
 No, sir, he did not, for Pollock produced if at that moment and Langdon didn't know what it was. He looked at Miss Page, who seemed overcome with emotion. What does this mean, Mary?' he asked But she didn't answer. Then Pollock told him the straight truth. Her father did it., l remember he said, and she's going to marry me. Now do you understand
 'Langdon thought he was bluffing. IOu skunk!' he shouted: and Pol lock waved the check in his face. Langdon grabbed it, and there was a struggle. The check tore in two, and when Langdon looked at the piece he held, he saw that it bore the forged signature, as Dan Page had written it. l saw him turn white as a sheet. But suddenly he smiled, and then he went calmly over to a lamp on the mantlepiece and burned it. l re- member, as though it had been yes terday, how happy Miss Page looked when she thought this evidence against her father was destroyed"
 The people in the courtroom grasped with relief. They could almost share Mary's sense of relief. But they were soon brought back with shock as the witness went on:

"FOLLIES OF THE DAY"
 AS POPULAR AS EVER

Back in Hartford the scene of for
 mer successes, Barney Gerard s.
 "Follies of the Day" opened a week 8
 engagement at the Grand theater yes
 terday afternoon and despite the fact l that the first nighters" were not in l evidence in as large a number as the 1 performance merited, it was a well l pleased audience that listened . through bout the evening to the catchy 1 music, and sparkling comedy that was 1 dispensed by this clever company of 1 entertainers. While the show has | many of the features that made 1t
 such a success last season, there are
 several changes that will no doubt 1 please the theatergoers during the l week.
 The comedy is built around an ar gument that occurs in Times Square, New York between Oscar Hammer
 stein, George M. Cohen. David Belasco
 and Al Reeves as to what nature of
 entertainment the American thcater
 public prefers so accordingly they de- eide to stage their own particular form
 of amusement under the title. What Does the Public Want?'' There is vaudeville, comedy, drama and opera. and judging from the applause that followed the work of tho OpGratic troupe in the second act the public wanted opera, that is they generously applauded the renditiOns of the Ital- ian quintet particularly the selections from 'Iucia'' which fcrced the cn- tertainers to respond to several en- cores.
 The part originated by sam Sidman, tho Hot Dawg.' man is in the capable hands of George P. Murphy, who does his work in a finished manner, and cvokes side splitting laughter from the audience whenever he puts in an ap- pearance on the stage. Particularly funny is the scene in the second act | with his ludricious attempts to start 1 a "F'livVer" on trip to London. 1 Chester Nelson, probably the best l ''rube' comedian on the stage today, 1 is as funny as ever. his antics and droll 1 manner of speech tending to keep the 1 audience ;n good spirits throughout ! the performance. Gertrude Hayes is the same Gertrude of former days, her work at all times being of D high l order. Miss Hayes is supported by the |, Three Brick Tops" a trio who can | sing and dance to the "queen's taste" | Anna Propp remembered as the viva l cious soubrette of last season is still with the company and her work is on l par with that which provided to be | such a success last season. The char l acters of Belasco, Hamm erstein, Co., | han and Reeves ale in capable hands. | The part of Tettrazini is filled by Miss | Ethel Sabatino whose work leaves l nothing to desire.
 The chorus is a well balanced one, the costumes being very pretty and the | scenery is in accord with the high | quality of the company.

Isn't he the most fascinating man?" raved the Authorman's Wife.
 Yes" said Molly, "he is; but I don't like him.
 "Don't like him?" cried the Auth orman's Wife. Why not? He's a wonderful dancer and the most inter- esting talker and he has wonderful manners, and you admit yourself he is fascinating
 Molly gave a little shrug. "All true,' she admitted; but ] don't like him because I don't trust him. He's the kind of man it's fun to h we around, but that it would be torture to be in love with, and double tor ture to be married to-"
 I wonder if you've ever met the man Molly is talking about. Of course I don't mean that partici lar man?, but any one of the type.
 He's the kind of man that I call the intimate man.
 He Was Hoping He Would Have the
 Good Luck to Meet You.
 That is, he creates an atm osphere of intimacy between himself and any woman with whom he happens to be. If he meets you on the street his manner subtly conveys to you the inn pression that he had been hoping he would have the good luck to see yOU and you pass on from the meeting with warm, unanalyzed sense or pleasure and self-apprOval
 To each woman with whom he dances he gives the impression that he has been waiting all the evening for that dance. His conversation is full of subtle f1atteries. He never in suits you by the awkwardness of blat- antly complimentary remarks, put ne manages to express his admiration fo" YOU in his voice, his manner anG ir- gracefully turned allusions.
 Makes Women Like Themselves and
 Consequently Him.
 Though he may never have heard of Colton's cynical advice, "Fill Q woman full of self-love and all that runs over will be yours" he instinc- lively acts on it.
 He is the kind of man married women love to have about. He sup

The Intimate Man

plies the touch of spice that her ex- istence is so apt to lack. He adds nest and savor to gatherings other wise composed of sane and satisfied husbands and wives. The womer find themselves looking forward tg occasions where he will he prCsenY and accounting for it by saying, He is such wonderful dancer" or He is so amusing
 On the whole, it seems as though, even if Molly refuses to like him, the Intimate Man must be a very worth while person, since he gives pleasure to so many.
 Some Poor, Foolish Woman Takei
 Him Too Seriously.
 Yes, except that the pleasure as gives to many is sometimes Over-hal- anced by the pain he gives to few. There's the girl he's engaged to and the woman he marries (Heaven pity themD, and perhaps some other poor fool married woman who takes his intimate manner too seriously and finds herself looking forward too feV- erishly to meeting him?
 Is he to blame for being as he is? Could he be different or is he jug as much as other people the victim of his fatal fascination?
 1 wonder!
 With My Letter Friends.
 Question-How much do you think a working girl should spend on h. rousseau ?-Bridc-tO-he.
 Answer-That depends entirely Gn Ter salary, of course. In my opinion, there is too much effort made by th~ average bride to lay in large stock of clothes. In these days of rar.dl 2 changing styles one seldom gets the full good of the money in this way My advice to the bride-tO-he is to pro- vide herself well with underwear ond the little pretties she wouldn't buy at another time, but not to go in toe heavily on the outer garments As to the proportion of income ol@ should spend for such a purpose, per haps my letter friends would be wills ing to send us some estimates on t'-ls subject. I should be glad to hear from them.

FEAST OF PASSOVER.
Israelites 10 Observe Time-Honored
Holiday Next Week.

Divine services in observance of
the beginning of the feast OF Pass
over will be held at the synagogue
of Bikur Gholim Congregation Mon
day, April IT, at 7 p. M, and Tues
day morning at 10 o'clock. Raphael
Singer will officiate, and special
musical program will be rendered by
choir composed of Mrs. Ferdinand
Lemann, Mrs. w. A. Poche and Miss
Ethel Werner, with Miss Nita Sims
as organist.
The feast of the Passover is one Of
the oldest and most important in
the Jewish calendar, dating back
$500 years. It commentaries the
deliyerance Of the children Of Israel
from Egyptian bondage, and Of old
was symbolical of the. awakening OF
the spring season. The historical
significance has now overshadoWed
the agricultural aspect.
The chief characteristics Of the
celebration have always been domes-
tic: in the homes the families and the
invited friends gather on the first
evening lin orthodox homes also on
the second EVENING" to recount IN
song and story and amid appropriate
symbolism the deliverance Of lsrael's
hosts from bondage in Egypt, and to
partake of a repast which is called
the seder. The main symbols Of this
seder service are the roasted lamb
bone, commemorative Of the lamb
that was slaughtered as sacrifice OF
the Covenant; the matzah, or I'm
leayened bread, to be eaten during
the whole week, recalling not only
the hasty departure of the Israelites
from Egypt, but also their absolute
reliance upon God and readiness to
trust in His leadership; and the bitter
herbs suggesting wildly the bitter
life of their forefathers in Egypt.
The other symbols Of the table
decorations are: The four cups of
wine allowed to each one are symbol
zeal Of the fourfold phrase in which
God couched the first Declaration
Of independence, = and the single cup
Of wine meant for the prophet Elijah,
who, always present in spirit, brought
ever anew the message of nndyingH
hope Of the Messianic reign of uni
versal justice, freedom and peace.

PARTISAN CRITICISM.

A fair way to estimate the value
of partisan criticism of candidate
is to consider the critics standpoint
and the measure OF personal, political
or factional interest or prejudice like
ly to enter into the formation of the
unfavorable judgment.
For instance, who can doubt that
if John M. Parker was the guberna-
torial nominee Of the regular De-
mocracy instead Of the Progressive
party in the pending contest, every
last one of his present Democratic
critics would be praising him as I'M
questionably the best man in the
state for governor very paragon
of the ideal citizen and patriot.
And what these lop-sided critics
would be saying Of Col. Pleasant if
he was the Progressive instead of the
Democratic nominee almost makes us
blush to think of.

No Breakdown in Mexico.

1t was reported on Thursday that
the Carranza government had called
upon the United States to withdraw
its troops from Mexico, and that a
prompt refusal to comply with the re-
quest had been decided on at WASH
ington, coupled with the declaration
that the pursuit of the murderous
Villa would be continued until ne has
been either killed or captured. That's
the kind of thing the mass of Ameri-
cans want to see and hear from their
government. If the sending Of an
armed expedition into Mexico was
justified in the first place-and on
that point there can be little differ
ence Of opinion-there should be no
thought of recalling our troops until
the object of. the expedition has been
accomplished or it's attainment is
clearly shown to be impracticable.
