COLONIAL ACROBATS
 WEEKS SENSATION

While Charlie Chaplin in 'The Vag- abond," is billed as the big attrac- tion of the week at Keeney's, there is a vaudeville number on the program that bids fair to give the film a close run for first hOnors before Saturday night. It is presented by the Colonial Montrose troupe, five of the most sensational tumbles ever appearing in this city. Their shoulder and head balancing, and aerial sOmer- saults are revelations in what can be accomplished by brawn and muscle properly trained. Results are amazing, the double and triple Whirls of the entertainers causing the audience to gasp in wonderment. The company's work is by any means not appreciat- ed by the Keeney patrons and at every performance the applause is spontaneous and of long duration.
 The Chaplin film is not to be over
 looked, however. It is a remarkable perturbation of a most amusing comedy in which the prince of the screen fun-makers shutfles around

A Common Form of SeIf-Deceit.
: CAMERON


 I think it is a rather common form of self-deceit to fancy that the stand ards of tolerance, of education, etc., that one holds in this age and under the circumstances in which one lives, one would still cling to in a less pro- pitiOus age and environment.
 For instance, I found myself think ing when I read about the ignorance and semi-slavery of the women of the middle ages, "I would never have stood that; would have insisted upon learning to read. I would have de- manded more freedom" Then I thought it over and asked myself, "Am I more educated than the wo- men who have had my opportunities, more independent than the women of today?" And, finding myself only even with the level of those who have had my opportunities and en- vironment, I had to decide that I would not have arisen above the level in those days.
 They Think They Would Be Cleaner.
 People who are offended by the lack of personal cleanliness in the Flower classes'' often announce that they would manage to keep them selves clean even if they were handi- capped by the lack of tub and other facilities. The answer is, Are you more immaculate than the people with your opportunities? Very well, then, finish the equation for yourself.
 This habit of believing that we would have been superior to a for mer age is one of many pleasant il- lusions which most of us like to cher ish about ourselves. Perhaps it is 4~ make us a little happier, but if self ignorance is bliss is it folly to be wise? I wonder. No, I don't.

Why Lillian "WaIned'' Madge.

Why Lillian "Warned'' Madge.
 AS the open taxicab rolled up River side Drive I felt my worries lightSn. I never can resist the witchery Of the Hudson and the wooded Palisades at any time, and on this September day they were particularly soul satisfying I turned to Lillian Underwood to ex
 press my appreciation of her treat,
 expecting to find her also drinking in
 the beauty which met us at every
 turn.
 But her eyes were not fixed upon
 the river or the wooded heights at
 whose base it rippled, but upon me.
 She made a marvellously quick shift
 of expression, but the turn of my
 head had been too swift for me wholly
 to miss the yearning, sorrowful, pitving look in the eyes which met mine.
 All my fears Of the morning came rushing back to me. Something was the matter or she would not look at me in that way. ImpulsiVely l laid
 my hand on hers.
 Tell me, Mrs. Underwood, Is any thing the matter?"
 She imprisoned my hand in both hers and patted; it.
 Nothing that cannot be helped, my dear" she said determ1nedly. 'Now am going to forbid your asking an- other question until we have had our luncheon. I decline to discuss the affairs of the nation or my own on an empty stomach, and my breakfast this morning consisted of the juice of two lemons and a small cup of coffee.' "Why?" I asked mechanically, al thought I knew the answer. ~Vhe awful penalty of trying tc keep ones figure," she returned light ly. "But I certainly am going to break training this noon. I am simply starved"
 Her tone and words were reassur- ing, although I still felt there was something behind her light manner | which intimately concerned me. But | I had learned to count on her down 1 right honesty, and her words "Nothing that cannot be helped, my | dear" steadied me, gave me hope that i no matter what trouble she had to ] tell me, she had also a panacea for It. "You Precious Infant!'
 As our machine swept round the
 curved drive leading to the Tarleton l and we alighted at the hospitabIe- l looking entrance of the old colonial l i'm, I made up my mind to follow her | lead, and put everything disagreeable out of my mind until she herself told me what she wished. She was my l hostess, she had planned a most de- 1 ightful outing for me. I surely
 owed her the payment of cheerful l looks and good spirits
 ! We checked our light wraps | freshened up g. bit, in the immaculate
 waiting room of the inn, and then i descended the stairs to the flower | ensconced verandas bordering the ter , ra ces overlooking the Hudson.

But that is reser-' the man be- gan, but stopped as Lillian elevated her eyebrows and looked at him fxedly.
 Il think it can be arranged" he finished skillfully, and piloted us to the table Lillian had indicated 'He ought to know better than to try that dodge on me-" she com- mented caustica1ly as we sat down in the chairs the man pulled out for us, and he hurried away to summon a waiter.
 What dodge?' I asked innocently.
 "Oh, you precious infant,' she laughed tenderly. Why, turning up the chairs at a particularly desirable table, and pretending it is reserved. in order to coax a tip for its release out of your pocket" But suppose it really were re- l served?' I queried. "1n that case he would have stuck l by his guns, and not allowed me to bluff him.
 "But how did you know?" l 'I didn't know, but I had a pretty | shrewd idea he was lying from the look of the corner of his mouth. It is a pet idea of mine that I can always l test a persons truthfulness from a certain little quiver or lack Of it in the l left-hand corner of the mouth" ! T am glad you warned me-" I said l gayly. 'I shall wear a mask when | ever l want to tell you a tarradiddle'' '' | You couldn't tell a lie if YOU | wanted to-" she returned, "more's the pity"
 Her voice held an indefnable note of pity, but l had not time to ponder over it, for a waiter stood at attention at Lillians elbow. 1 Something Is Wrong. l Well, what shall we eat?" Lillian's voice was brisk. I knew that of all l things she detestedl hesitation, so I re- | sponded quickly.
 "I don't care what else I have, but
 I do want an iced cantaloupe first" You ethereal creature" jeered
 Lillian. Some darling pink little
 clans for my first course Now what next, nightingales' wings?" She 1 laughed audaciously at me-
 'I think the wings or any other l portion of a broiledI chicken will do very we'll for me- I replied, trying to
 meet her merry mood. 1 You've struck it!" she returned.
 "That suits me. What do you say to l French fried potatoes, new lima beans, | a romaine salad and an ice of some l kind %
 "I think that's the best reduction l menu I ever heard. But I like it.
 'Cat, cat, cat she mocked, and 1 turning gave the order to the waiter.
 We discussed the meal leisurely.
 Under the influence of the bracing air, the beautiful view, the delicious l viands, I gradually forgot my worries, l or at least pushed them back into a 1 corner of my brain.
 As we fingered over the ices, Lillian leaned over the table to me.
 will you do me favor?" she | asked abruptly.
 "Try me-" I smiled back at her. Ask me to your home for a week S l stay. I have an idea you need my 1 fine Italian hand at work about now" 1 I looked at her wonderingly, then I 1 began to tremble.
 Don't look like that" she com- l manded sharply. Nothing dreadful is l the matter But that Dicky bird of yours needs his wings clipped bit, and I think I am the person to apply { the shears
