BERNHARDTLEADS
 PROGRAM AT FOX'S

Had Bernhardt been present in per- son at Fo1s last night she could scarcely have been accorded a more memorable reception than that which greeted her screen representation in Mothers of France" a picture that will finger long in the hearts of New Britain audiences. Her initial ap- pearance was the signal for a great outburst of prolonged applause. and at frequent intervals during the re- mainder of the picture she was hon. ored in similar manner. The Divine Sarah. as she is affectionately known to her millions of admirers, will with out doubt go down in theatrical hts- tory as the greatest actress of any na- ton that ever trod the boards, and. al- though she Is past seventy. she com pels her audience to forget the fact, particularly in her emotional scenes, which are absolutely incomparable and perfect.
 The play opens with a pleasing pic ture of conditions in France prior to the outbreak of the world war; and shows Madame Bernhardt as a veal thy French landowner of charitable AAOPOoANAOAA 0AO AOvdOl0 uALuT0s WnOSe husband and son are officers in the French army. / Then comes the ca tastrophe, and the most striking con- trast ever conceived is depicted in the following reels.

Why Madge Was Really Worried Over 1 Dicky's Pcrplexing Moods. { ''what are you going to do today 2 Mrs. Durkee's soft voice came over the telephone, costly comfortable, full l of friendly neighborliness. !, 'I hadn't planned anything especial :! why?''

 Mrs. Durkee's merry laugh came over the telephone. It is one of her chief charms, a girlish, bell-like peal which just suits the dainty. childlike personality of the little woman.
 ''That's just what Alfred called me this morning. But don't care," def1- antly. My things are rags, and might just as we'll get new spring clothes now as later.'
 "Even if the snow Is two feet deep in places?" could not forbear teas- ing her.
 'Even if it were nine feet" she flashed back. ''I believe you're trying to get out of going with me, and I'm not going to let you get away with it. Put on your things and meet me at the 10:21. Dicky's gone hasn't he? waited until I heard that 8:15 pull out before 'phoning you"
 Madge Agrees to Go.
 fsYes. he's gone." returned, land shall be very glad to go with you. I really ought to be looking at spring things myself"
 "Of course you ought,'' sh] re- turned. as I hung up the telephone re- ceiver after assuring her again that would meet her at the 10:21, I smiled at the complacent sureness of her tone.
 To Mrs. Durkee's mind clothes are a most important section of the uni- verse. do not mean that she Is foolish or extravagant-in fact, she is 8 most careful buyer, but I know no one who gets moro genuine pleas ure out of pretty frocks and hats than she does. She has exquisite taste in selection ,and a pronounced skill with her needle, so that her pur- chases always set off the dainty pret- tiness upon which age seems to have no effect. She must be nearly 50, old enough to be my mother, but no one would ever guess her real age within 10 or 15 years.

Springtime is with 4s-in other words the time of housecleaning. the time when one finds out what is In ones drawers and what has gotten tucked away in ones closet and cup board and gloryholes during tho year
 Women who so arrange their work that they never have to do any spe- cial cleaning (they really do exist, for I know one or two. Yes, as you sus- pected, they live in small houses and have no families to speak of) avoid the difficulties of the housecleaning season but they also miss that pleas ant excitement of rediscovering ones possessions. We have already re- trieved a missing part of tho ice cream freezer and a collar that has been hiding on me for some months Housecleaning, Domestic Stock-Taktng

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

| with real pleasure that I went about l my preparations to meet her.
 The little trip she proposed was just the thing needed, I decided, to stir me out of the rather lethargic con- dition of mind into which I had been drifting. The week following Dicky's walk from Crest Haven through the blizzard had been a stormy one, and had been compelled to stay indoors great deal always a bad thing for me, as my health and spirits are of outdoor air.
 Is There Reason?
 Then, too, there was something a bout Dickys behavior that made me
 vaguely uneasy. He was unusually preoccupied. and spent great deal
 of time in his studio bedroom. That he wrote voluminously and also made, a large number of seemingly useless sketches I knew from the condition of his waste basket each morning, for it was filled with small pieces of paper, which I could see without any particularly close scrutiny to be parts of manuscript and sketching paper.
 True, when Dicky is in the throes of planning his illustrations he Is always preoccupied, but there was a vague something about this absorption of his which was different, or so my imagination fancied. And could not get out of my mind the kodak print I had found by accident in his chif-. fonnier, the print of Dicky taken with "Edith and Leila,'' the two pretty Virginia art students whom he had saved from being crushed in the crowd at Madison Square Garden upon the night of the Presidents speech.
 The engagements with art editors" necessitating Dicky's presence in town until the late train, still kept up. He stayed in the city two or three even- ings each week, and I had grown to dread the sound of the telephone bell because I never knew when the mes sage would be one from Dicky saying he would be detained in town until the last train.
 had laid awake for hours only the night before trying to satisfy myself with plausible explanations for Dicky's behavior. but to no avail. As a consequence felt unusually tired and diapirited, and seized upon Mrs. Durlsae's invitation with alacrity. I would put all my worries out of my mind, I resolved, and devote the day assidiously to shopping, hoping that the arduous feminine occupation would tire me physically enough to enable me to sleep dreamlessly. some thing had not done for weeks.

Few Local Department Stores
Have Adopted Coin; Others
Hold They Have No Need
for 1t

That the now despised penny, so
common over the counters Of depart
ment stores and markets east of the
Mississippi, may be a coin OF frequent
use and much to be desired In Ho
nolulu due to the new excise law is
the consensus of opinion among bust.
nessmen of the city. although there
are some among them who do not
believe that the penny will ever be
able to cross 1000 miles of the Pacific,
even IL 1t can climb the Rocky noun
tains. 49,. =. .
One big dry goods store In town
has already adopted the use OF the
penny. Seen this morning one OF the
managers of this store said:
1--WE find that our customers, take
very readily to the penny. o. course
we've been making penny change for
only few days, and it is perhaps too
early to say just what the result will
be. 1t is a saving to our customers.
Without the penny, il piece Of goods
came to, say Is cents, the customer
had to take more than she wanted
in order to make even change, or she
had to pay two cents more than the
charge on the goods. -
Another reason why we believe the
penny will grow in popularity Is be-
cause OF the war tax on letter pos
tsge. Where a woman has been used
to sending out score or more letters
a week at two cents letter, and Is
confronted with the fact that every
one of those letters is going to cost
her cent more, she will be very
glaC indeed to have this extra penny
or two saved on small purchases to
stick on her three-cent letters"
One of the stores in Fort street
said nothing would make them con-
slider the use Of the penny; that they
considered it a nuisance and bother,
and would have none of it. Another
held out the comforting promise to
all shoppers that the war tax would
not increase their selling price on
wearing apparel one penny, because
they proposed to pay the war tax
themselves. Still another held that,
while they wanted to do their duty
as patriots, they were of the opinion
that the consumer would, ultimately,
pay the war tax, because they fad
already shaved their net profits down

I'VE have always kept pennies in
the bank, and paid them out when re-
quested by our patrons With the
conditions as they are today, with the
constant demand for saving from
every quarter, it seems to me that the
circulation of the penny would be a
very good thing, particularly for the
poor man. 1t would encourage econ
omy. However, we are not going to
insist upon its circulation, for, when
it is really required. the community
will demand it, and we, with anybody
else, will have to answer the demand.

ity spirit, and In giving the people
what they want when they want it.
When the people of Honolulu, as a
community want the penny they will
demand it-and they will get it. We
back the. community spirit-we don't
try to go ahead Of it."
According to Acting Internal Rev.

penny will have to be used in making
change. 1T is one of the unwritten
