A discreet knock sounded, and the bailiff put his head in at the door.
 His honor is ready to go into
 Court. sir" he said; and with a nod
 of relief the prosecutor gathered up
 his papers
 Defence. begins today, don't it? asked the detective as he left. What do you guess it's going to be-"
 I'm not guessing anything said the District Attorney grimly, except that his witnesses are going to have a bad time when they get into my hands,
 Tell me something I don't knoW!' chuckled the detective with ,hones, admiration, though after a moments pause he added behind his superior's back. But Mary Page has got the sympathy of the crowd al that, by glory!"
 She HAD won the sympathy of the spectators nowhere was no doubt of it, and the hostility that was writ so large on the faces for her at the beginning now greeted the prosecutor instead, and it was a hostility that somehow was the more acute because the faces were so oddly familiar-sO familiar, in fact, that he had almost spoken to one of the men who sat in the front row when he had passed him in the corridor the day before.
 The reporters seemed like old friends, too, and he noticed with a grim little smile that one of the 'sob sisters had on a new and very be- coming hat, and he wondered ironi- cally whether it was in. honor of the defence or because the day before one of the star writers on a big daily had changed his seat. in order to sit beside her, He knew the latter req son was the more probable. and the farce of life, the strange dramatic of it struck him as it had many times before; that here with the black shadow of a shameful death hanging over the girl in the prisoners lock, and with the bloody clothes of a murdered man lying before the jury, men and women still found time. to play the world old game-to think of 1ats and ties and getting out to lunch eon! And also of reducing life-and- 1eath issues to mere good copy" for hose who could not press into the to gloat over the next lay with avid eagerness.
 There was an extra briskness about he newspaper group today, however, and the prosecutor noticed two or hree new faces, relay men, to take place of others who would turn their stories in by telephone hour after hour for the special editions. For today the defence of Mary Page would begin. Today Langdon must strip

objection to their husbands friends, are always making deprecatory cum- ments upon them; still others do not even admit the dislike to themselves but cannot keep it entirely out of their manner. There is no real graci9usness in their welcome of the bache1or friend; they cannot keep the atmcs- phere of constraint from being pal- pablo, nor entirely conceal their re- taxation and relief when he is gone. F
 It is a strange and. unworthy kind of jealousy, this resentment of theirs. I do not like it. And they could give so much pleasure by a little decency and graciousness, a little tolerance.
 One Woman Had Her Eyes Opened.
 young married friend of mine told me the other day of an c&peri- ence of hers which gave rise tp my first question. She, had always dis liked her husbands favorite bachelor friend--a man of great worth un- fortunately obscured by g. difident manner. Wifelikc, she had taken no pains to conceal this dislike. By Q circumstance-enfor propinquitx she had grown to know this man bet ter, and one day said something in praise of him to her husband. She said her husbands delight nt the words of appreciation was really touching. "It opened my eyes" ste said. "and since then I've tried to see the good instead of the bad in my husbands bachelor friends and to sea. what Q good time I could give them whenever they came instead of how few I could make their visits. I can tell you, virtue has been doubly its own reward both in my husbands pleasure and in what I get out of it myself"
 hope her experience may opon some other woman's eyes, too.

FOX PRESENTS
 ORIENTAL PLAYLET

Much interested is being shown in the William Fox production "The Ruling Passion," which opens a two day engagement at the local Fox's theater. This is the first production to come here from Jamaica, West Indies, where Herbert Brenon has been producing features for the Fox Film Corporation since last August. MT. Brenton is bus1ly engaged at Jamaica in making the s1,O0O,00 Annette Kellerman feature and be- tween times he is producing smaller productions, the first of which will be seen today and tomorrow. The Ruling Passion Is an Oriental drama in which a white woman falls under the power of an Indian prince and features William F. Shay and Claire Whitney. The story deals with Claire, a young woman in the early twenties, who lives in the London slums. Her only legacy from her mother, whose life has been an un- clean one, is the admonition to keep in the straight path. To escape the unpleasant surroundings, Claire leaves London and goes to India to live with her aunt. She is welcomed hospi- tably and new faces and friendships supplint those of the slums, and the orphan senses for the first time the

off the mask of smiling confidence and show what lay behind it.
 The mask Or at any rate the smile was till there when he came into court not with Mary, this time, but With her mother. His hand was tucked protecting under the arm of the little gray-haired woman, and his lips were close to her ear as if he were murmuring final encouragement-o a final instruction!
 Mary, too, was smiling, and she had thrust a white rose into her belt, a rose as palely sweet as she herself, and her lips, curled back like soft red petals, shaped the words she was silently repeating:
 To-day we will begin my defence. Today Philip will start to set me reel And not even in her own Neart would she let herself contem- late the thorny path that must be raveled before that elusive freedom ad struck the invisible gyves from
 if her wrists and heart.
 She was still wincing a little from he lash of the final speech of the prosecutor. It seemed to her as 1f 2othing to come-except the final mo- nents before the verdict-could pos :ibly be as bad as that half hour of he day before. So it was with equan- mity through a yearning wistfulness showed in her eyes, that she heard the first witness of the day called.
 Mrs. Annie Page!'
 The frail little woman seemed to have visibly shrunk when she took her Dlace in the witness stand, and the great violet shadows under her eyes and the colorless lips told of the strain that the trial was proving. Her slender fingers curled like tendrils about the edge of the stand, as if she feared her ability to remain erect; but here eyes were steady and her voice clear-love for her child was greater than fear of the law or the pain of dragging out longhidden shanes and sorrows.
 Mrs. Page, how long ago was it that you met the man who later be- came your husband?"
 'Thirty-one years ago at Christ mas"
 And you became engaged almost ?'
 Yes"
 But it was some years before you were married, was it not?"
 Yes"
 "Why?" =
 Because of-of MT. Pages habits. My parents insisted upon my break ing the engagement
 But 1t was later renewed ?''
 Yes. He promised me that he would stop drinking, and I believed God knows a woman always believes that-frOm a man"
 Please make only direct answers to the questions" interrupted the Judge sternly, and Mrs. Page flushed a little under the rebuke. A whisper of sympathy crept about the room

Her Husban and's Friends

DO you ever praise your husbands s friends? You, in this case,, means wives, of course, but as all women are potential if ont actual wives, I hope no woman will lay this article aside merely because she isn't. at present of the matrimonial estate
 As for the men---Well I know atl husbands will prick up their ears when they read that question, and bache- lors don't matter
 The great complaisance which the average American husband shows in permitting his wife to select the friends with whom they shall spend most of their leisure time and in en-
 ortaining and associating with her
 amily rather than his, is something I have remarked upon before. I think it exists partly because in this country q believe the opposite is true abroad) the ties between a woman and her family are stronger than those be- tween a man and his, and also because the American business man ;s so ah- sorbed in his business that he leaves the arranging Of all social relation ships to his wife.
 And This is the Reward He Gets.
 But one aspect of this matter I do not either like or understand, ;ld that fs the antagonism the average wife seems to feel for her h'' ~.rd's masculine bachelor friends. Surely his complaisance deserves soEneF better return. And yet I know many other wise kind, thoughtful, unselfish wo- men who reward their husbands com mplaisance in entertaining and as sociating with their friends by resent ing the rare occasions when he wants to entertain his old-time friends.
 Some Are Open In Their Dislike.
 Some openly express this dislike; others, while pretending to have no
