 Did you remain with him long?"
 NO. l tried to persuade him to come home with me, and when he wouldn't I left him. In the hall however, I met Miss Page. I wanted her to see MT. Langdon at that bar l led her to the door. I remember how mortified she seemed and how she struggled to control herself tried to steady her; but suddenly she rushed from me into the cafe"
 The witness paused dramatically as if he realized the interest this pie ture of the past was arousing.
 "What happened then?" the prose- cutOr asked.
 Il recall that Miss Page went right over to Langdon's table and several loafers gathered \around them. She seemed not to see them at all. Her mlnd was apparently on Langdon alone. l-angdon was just sober enough to realize that Miss Page ought not to be in such a place. He tried to push her away; but she cried out, Don't drink any more, PhiI' "
 Dld MT. Langdon make any reply"
 Yes. He said, Why should I stop drinking? What have I to live for?' Then she put her arms around his neck, and it was while they sat thus that Dave Pollock came in. There were a lot of jolly friends with him 1t wasn't moment before he saw LangdOn and Miss Page at the table. lie looked madder than I've ever seen any man look. Really, I didn't know what would happen. His presence seemed to sober Langdon completely I rushed forward fearing there would be horrible scene, and urged Pollock to go away. He pushed all of us back. I want to get at him!' he kept calling. Just let me get my hands on him,' LangdOn was trying to get Miss Page out of the place. He did succeed, while several of us held Pol lock back by main force, in getting Mary into 8 little anteroom, sort of parlOr next to the cafe"

REVELATIONSOF A WIFE
Dicky, the Martyr.
By ADELE GARRIGON

T do hope mother likes Katie. ;" His tone intimated that this was a question of the utmost importance. Why? ?' For the life of me 1 could not help the icy little monosyllable. DickY hcsitatcd a moment before UnsWering
 Because, MadGc,' he said finally, Il am afraid if mother doesn't like her we will have to get rid of Katie. Mother is awfully particular about the personality of any who waits upon her. When we were all keeping house together I have known her to change maids seven or eight times in T month until she got one to suit. Used to cost her a bit, too Each girl, of course, was entitled to her weeks wages, and mother never waited till the week was up, just packed her off whenever she did any thing that didn't come up to her standard
 Are you in earnest?" I faced him in astOnishment.
 "WhH, of course. I am not talking for fun
 DO you realize what you are say Ing What you are implying? Have you brought your mother here to be mistress of this establishment? DO you expect me to be treated as chlId or one of the maids?" If YOU"
 "Oh, for heavens sake, Madge." IolckE Interrupted, "pIcasc spare me one of your lectures I simply ask you to consider my mothers wishes In engaging a maid. and you imme- diately go up in the air over it. Gee. l can see where I'm going to have a rice, pleasant time, trying to be buffer between a fussy mother and a cranky wife,
 And Dicky strode from the room with the air of a martyr, leaving me shocked at his selfshness and with a very lively dread of what the future might hold for me.

DORA BOOTH IS NEW
 PLAYER AT LYCEUM

Alfred Cross and his Stock company
 begin their seventh week tonight in
 George Broadhurst's celebrated play,
 Bought and Paid For" which has
 never been seen in New Britain be-
 fore.
 Miss Herne, who has become a gen.
 une local favorite, will assume the leading female role in the celebrated Bought and Paid For" Miss Herne
 played Virginia Blaine at the Play
 house, New York, during the long run there and won golden ecOniums in the trying part. She also played it for two seasons on the road
 Alfred Cross has a wonderful part, as Robert Stafford the New York capitalist. The second act is said to
 test absolutely the versatility of any actor
 A newcomer, Miss Dora Booth, will make friends Fanny Blaine. Like
 Miss Herne, Miss Booth has played
 her part on many occasions. It is a
 big contrasting character to the lead as it is brim full of comedy. Miss Booth comes to us with ripe eXperi- ence, a fine personality, and an eX- cellent reputation.
 Phillip Sheffield, as Jimmy Gilley will surely come into his own. Those accustomed to Mir. SheHleld's methods will revel in the situation and laugh able moments that he will hand out by the wholesale. These four will play a quartet of parts that are not cQualed in the modern drama today J. Irving White, a general farOrit" l with everyone whom he has come in contact with in our city, plays "Oku" 1 the Japanese, while M iss iteardy, a | very daity little woman will interpret l the role of Josephine, the French maid.
 ] Futile, the skillful scenic artist, has ] painted some beautiful scenery and Kendall Weston, the director has re- 1 hearsed the play carefully and thought out some beautiful tage pictures. l A new stage manage Ralph patter- son, begins his duties tonight with the premier of Fought and Paid For" i which promises to be a record week.
