HER SIDE---=AND HIS
THE AFTERMATH
BY ZOE BECkLEY

Work, and pride in her workman
| ship, were Janet's most cherished pos
sessions. Seldom had she been re-
proved for incompetent work; never
Tor careless work. She ragged dumbly
at herself and at everything that had
laid her subject to such a reproach
from her employer. and to her own
self blame. Thereafter. as never be-
lore. work should come first with her.!
Husband, happiness, everything, would
be OF secondary consideration! Work
would be her religion, her one rock to
build on. Love often fled. Husbands
tired and left their wives for other
lures. Any happiness not built on the
Joy or work and accomplished ent was
flimsy and at best depended on Others
for fulfillment. But work was its own
anchor and reward!
She would tell Walt this when she
got home that night. That much
would be clear and understood between
them. She tried to go back to her re-
port, butquitting time found her as
helplessly raging and with as little
accomplished as when the memoran-
dunn had come back to her.
At dinner she said little to Walt of
how the day had passed, until the
dishes had been cleared. Then with
out word she laid Temples memoran-
dunn before him. He read it, under
Stood, and nodded slowly.
This is never going to happen
again, Walt she said, holding back
the flood Of hot reproaches trembling
on her lips. Work comes first with
me hereafter"
Il understand, Janet" Walter said
quietly. II shall not ask you again
to" He stopped What was it he
was never going to ask her to do
again? Never go out for an evening
OF course. it could not be that. He
pondered, trying to ana1yze what de-
sired prospect that days experience
had closed to him. Janet, you'll have
to help me-" he said finally after some
thought. What is it must never ask
you to do?"
II don't know Walt" she said wear
lily. It's something that work for
bids-some thfng I did not feel before
marriage, I'm running in triple har-
ness now. Walt. and the different pulls
on me are confusing-at first. I only
know what it is l must not door
rather. cannot dol can't mingle the
life of bohemian and that of a bust
ness woman"

A New Sunday
From Leslie's.

FROM Leslie
People are no longer satisfied with the
old Sabbath of quietness and worship.
They want a new day. a different sort
Of day. Paul describes the citizens and
strangers of Athens as spending their
time in nothing else but either to tell
or hear some new thing" They wanted
new gods, new doctrines. People today
are demanding a new Sunday in place
of the peaceful, worshipfu day that came
down from their fathers. Athletics, NOV
ing pictures. excursions, entertaining.
have made inroads upon the old-fash-
toned Sunday.
Connecticut has needed the modern de-
mand and has repealed her blue laws OF
300 years standing. Most of these were
already dead letters 1t has been many
a day since Connecticut man was
afraid to kiss his wife on a Sunday, or
since Connecticut young people dared
not take a walk on a Sunday afternoon
But those of us who were brought up
to respect the sanctity of the Sabbath
can't help but feel the tide is running
in the wrong direction.

At Loew's Bijou

a bill of unusual variety is pre-
sented at Loew's Biiou for the first
half of the week and was given un-
houses last night Every act on the
programme is appealing to lovers of
good vaudeville and the bill, rounded
out by an excellent feature picture, is
one of exceptional class.
The headline act. the DePace Sex
tet. is talented com bination of in
strumentalists and vocalists, The in
strumental numbers were especially
pleasing. The act scored a decided hit
last night and is one of the best mu-
steal offerings seen at the popular
vaudeville house 1t went big all the
way through and they had to respond
to several encores.
Charles Prelle's miniature circus is
an act that pleased the grown-ups as
well as the kiddies. Some of the smart
est dog actors seen are included in
the act and with plenty of comedy it
animal acts ever seen on a local stage
Franzholz and Brandt in "All
Wrong" entertain with good line of
comedy. The act is well above the
standard in all respects. Fox and
Cross, two clever comedians, with an
exceptionally good line of chatter,
were highly diverting. Alice de Carmo
has an aerial act of unusual origin
ality.
The feature picture with Rupert
Julian in THE Mysterious Mr. Tiller,"
is interesting from start to finish and
contains many thrills. Loew's current
events are well up to the standard and
and show many interesting events Of
recent date.
Mutt and Jeff are seen is new
antics and new comedy reels complete
the excellent bill.
