 "Oh,' I gasped, do you think he's going to keep this up?''
 Looks like it," Lillian returned, but simply ignore him. He has all the earmarks of a gentleman. I don't think he will annoy you. Now forget him and enjoy your ice, and then we'll go and get that hat"
 Under Lillian's guidance the selec- ton of the hat proved an easy task.
 "Onc of These.''
 You poor child,'' she said, tramp ing around through those big shops with their thousands of hats, it's a wonder you didn't land at Bellevue instead of at luncheon with me- We won't waste any more time hunting things. There is a little side street shop up here, and the woman who keeps it is a genius. She was head designer for one of the biggest New York firms for years, and she has entree to the most exclusive Parisian establishments.
 "On each trip from Paris she brings a number of actual models, of course but there are a number of others that Suc DIlISS Olly III Her OIctlu o1Ilu sketch book. All she needs is a elimpse of any hat. She can go back to her hotel, sketch it accurately from memory. and jot down the materials of which it is made. She has built up a very substantial clientele of women with good taste and pocket books that will stand moderate strain, for, of course she never makes q ohoop Iot hat I've worn from her for years'
 Lillian's enthusiasm prepared me to like the smart hats displayed in the modest yet tastefully appointed little establishment we entered a few minutes later
 A tall, slender woman. with an at tractive face, surmounted with crown of gray hair, and attired in a IT, odish black gown of rich material, rose from desk at the back of the shop as she caught sight of Lillian, and came forward with hand ex- tended.
 i've brought you very dear friend of mine, Miss Denman," Lillian said, as she clasped the outstretched hand warmly. '"This is Mrs. Graham, Miss Denman," she went on. See that you find something that suits her tace.''
 That ought to be a very easy task Miss Denman returned, smiling down at me.
 "Yes, shouldn't it?' Lillian re- joined, with an answering smile.
 I felt a tri1e foolish and a bit an- noyed at the undisguised fattery which the older women were giving me, but I knew the real affection be- hind Lillian's compliment, and the words of the other woman lacked the fulsome insincerity which marks the manner of so many of her type.
 I was not long in selecting the hat

PAT" AT
 LYCEUM SATURDAY

''The Princess Pat" John Cort's production of the Henry Blossom Victor Herbert comic opera success, with Miss Ruth Welch and recognized cast, comes to the Lyceum Saturday, raatinee and night, from it's long run at the Cort theater New York. The offering comes with an unqualified ap- rroval of metropolitan press and public as being the best musical pre- scntatiOn of the season. Victor Herbert score can always be depended upon for complete enjoyment. While MT. Blossoms book and lypics have never yet failed in their mission. The story of the opera relates the f1irta- tions of Princess Patrice di Montaldo, an Irish girl who has married an Italian nobleman. By her friends she is called Pat, for short. At a house party on Long Island she is brought in contact with Anthony SchmaIz, an elderly millionaire, who is about to marry Grace Holbrook. Grace is not in love with Schmalz, but his money will bring relief to the depleted
 treasury of her uncle, with whom she
 lives The husband of the princess
 has drifted from his ardent love
 making of earlier days, and to teach
 him a much needed lesson as we'll as break off the engagement existing be- tween Grace and Schmalz, she induces Rob Darrow a sort of adventurer, to lend his help. The two plot to this end and much amusement result from their efforts. The prince is made wildly jealous while Schma1z is plan ming an elOpement with the princess. Everything ends happily, however, as it should in all comic operas, and each and every couple are peacefully reunited at the end of the play. 1 Among the twenty numbers in Victor 1 Herberts score, are such popular songs as "Allies," Make Him Guess" "I'd Like to Be a Quitter, But I Find T. Hard to Quit," Love Is Best of ALI For Better or for Worse,' | Metropolitan Love Song," T Wish I Was an Island in an Ocean of Girls" "All for You" Tn a Little World for
 Two," and 1.-TWO Laughing Irish
 Eyes" In addition to Miss Welch the
 cast of principals will include, Fife
 Tive, William Dawson, Carl Stoll
 Frank Rose, George O'Donnell, Ray
 mond Ellis, Tots Marks, Ethel Den rison and Ben Hendricks. Seats now or sale.

and Juliet,' 'as a photoplay, is with
 out doubt one of the greatest ever presented on the screen. The settings
 are true to life. One can almost
 imagine they are in the ancient city
 of Verona, when they see the sol
 diers, armor bedecked, dashing through the streets of this medieval city. The quarrels between the Cap ulets and Montagues are we'll staged. To moving picture audience the chief point of interest centers in the work of the most sinister villainess of the screen, Theda Bara, who has es- saved her first Shakesperian role. By her emotional acting she dominates the play so completely that it might aptly be named "The Tragedy of Juliet" It is the tragedy and not the romance of the story that she en- phasizes and it is in the later stages

REVELATIONSOF A WIFE
How Nladgc Faced Her First "iix-
 traVagance.''
By ADEEE GARRE,cN

How NIadgc Faced Her First "Ex-
 travagance."
 In spite of Lillian Underwood's s kindly admonition I could not enjoy >he delicious lunch we had ordered in the little English tea room. The presence of a mysterious man at the table opposite ours robbed the meal of it's flavor and me of my self-posses- sion.
 I could not be sure, of course, that the man had purpOsely followed me from the little reception room of the Sydenham. where I had waited for Lillian There I had first seen him staring frankly at me with such a sad mysterious, tragic look in his eyes that I had been most beWildered and upset by it. But his appearance at the tea room within a few minutes Of our entering it, and his choice of a chair which faced our table indicated rather strongly that he had purpOsely followed me.
 Whether or not Lillian's flashing eyes and the whitening look she gave him deterred him from gazing at mo as steadily as he had at the hotel I had no means of knowing. At any rate, he did not once stare openly at me. I should have known it if he had for his position was such that unless I kept my eyes steadily fixed upon my plate I could not help but see him. He was unobtrusive, but I received the impression that he was keeping track of our every movement i'll the furtive kiances he cast at us from time to time.
 Simply Ignore Him."
 Although he had ordered after us, his meal kept pace with our own. In fact, he called for his check, paid it, and left the restaurant before we did, As he passed out of the door I drew a breath of relief and fell to my neglected lunch.
 'I hope I've seen the last of him. said vindictively
 Lillian did not answer. I looked up surprised to see her chin cupped in her hands, in the attitude which was characteristic of her when she was studying some problem, her eyes fol- lowing the man as he made his way slowly down the street. swinging his stick with a preoccupied air. She continued to stare after him until he 1 was out of sight then, with start, i she came back to herself.
 You were right, Madge, and I was l wrong," she said collectively, still as if l she were studying her problem, that i man is no tmasher.''
 looked up startled. "What makes you think so?'' I asked, breathlessly. 1
 'I don't know," she returned, "but l he either thinks he knows you, or you l him of some dead daughter, 1 or sister, or sweetheart, or - - - oh, there might be any one of a dozen 1 reasons why he would want to stare 1 at you I think he's harmless, though. 1 He probably won't ever try to speak ] to you-just take it out in following 1

of the play that she is most effective.

The balance of the program at this house was made up on "Gloria's Romance" Billie Burke, the Pathe Weekly, For a Cave Man." a cub comedy, and the See America First travel film.

l wanted. Miss Denman took one i long, shrewd appraising look at mo. ] then gave an assistant a low-toned 1 direction. The girl vanished, to re-
 appear aga:n shortly bearing three i hats, each of which deserved, if head l gear ever did, the much abused term 1 ''creation.'
 II should advise one of these three l for Mrs. Graham" she said quietly. ] l tried them all on, with little ex- ! clamations of delight at their beauty. but the last, a chic little affair of black velvet with the brim slightly rolled, the sombre color enlivened only by touches of white ermine with single perfect scarlet rose nestling against the fur, seemed especially suited to my face
 Why Niadge Gasped Miss Denman stepped up, pushed it ever so slightly to one side, f1uffed my , hair out gently from beneath it, then said quietly to Lillian: That's about it, eh?"
 Simply perfect" Lillian answered, and as l looked at the reflection of the hat in the glass I felt that her encomium was not too strong. What is the price of it?" I asked. You are fortunate", said Miss Den man, smiling "It is the cheapest one of the three. It will cost you S35.' I gasped. My ideas of the prices of hats came from my memories of my teaching days when my salary had to cover all my mothers expenses as well as my own. I had paid $15 for the hat in which l was married, and had mentally condemned myself for what I termed my reckless extravaganza. My summer hats had been fairly in expensive affairs, so that the price staggered me.
 l think Lillian saw my dismay, for she said tactfully:
 This will be such a useful little hat, Madge. Being black and white you can wear it with almost any cos tume.'' Her tone and words conveyed subtly to me the impression that she felt I ought to take the hat.
 remembered Dicky's injunction ''for heavens sake, not to consider the rrice''-and decided swiftly to make the plunge.
 *'It is, indeed, beautiful" I said nonchalantly. q will take it.
 "Where shall I send it?''
 I thought rapidly for a moment. wanted it for Wednesday afternoons meeting of the Study club, but I should not need it during my noun tain trip. Lillian, with her usual quickness, solved the difficulty.
 "As you're going out of town Madge, why not send it up to my apartm ent,'' she said. You can run up and get it on Wednesday, and I'll keep it for you while you're gone.'
 "Thank you, Lillian, that will do very nicely" I returned.
 But as I paid for the hat and left the store, I wondered if l should never be able to spend money freely for clothes, as Diclxy would like to have me, without the little guilty feel ing at my extravaganza that I was experiencing now.

[ thankful, unless she has more than l have. How exasperating it would be, for instance, when a person is bedridden to be told by someone in perfect health that she ought to be thankful she can use her hands! Don't you think anyway that there is certain perverseness in human na- ture which makes us want to contra dict, and that when we are told that we are very fortunate, we at once be- gin to think of our drawbacks? So. really if we want to help anyone to appreciate his blessings, it is unwise to say too much about them" Sometimes These Vicariously Cheerful
 People Are the Least Resigned.
 Can you understand that point of view? I emphaticaly can.
 There is something almost uncanny in the cheerfulness and fortitude some people can show about other peoples troubles.
 When their own troubles come. these are often the people who are the least resigned.
 I have in mind a woman who in her own days of prosperity told poor widow, who had to fill in in other peoples homes for a living. aft CT the death of her husband and only child, that she ought to be thanl<fu1 that she helped out so many people in tight places.
 When that woman lost her prosper- ity and had to do similar work I never saw anyone so unresigned.

Cold Comfort

A letter friend has a point of view to present. "While on the whole this plea for cheerfulness and the making the best of things is a healthy symptom,'' she writes, don't you think it can be overdone? In some cases, it seems to me, it leads that some people, for instance, make a sort of shibboleth of Don't worry and just use it to stave off a conversa- tion which they think would bore them?
 "In fact, I often say that some people when they say Don't worry really mean Don't worry me- Admit They Have Something to Bear.
 'I do believe in helping people to be brave and cheerful and happy if possible but I want first of all to be sympathetic, and I think in many instances one can accomplish more by admitting that the complain CT has some grounds than by just say ing some platitude about looking on the bright side.
 For instance is it not more like 1y to accomplish what is desired, if we say, Yes it is a hard task, but you are equal to it, or, God will help you,' than if we just say That is easy or, You ought to see what some people have to do.'
 Don't Talk Too Much About Other
 Peoples Blessings.
