REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

, years had changed Lillian. She no longer did things with the reckless in- souciance which had been her wont, but carefully, circumspectly. I did not like Lillian to act this role of humility, but I consoled myself with the thought that it was but a passing emotional phase, and that she would, in all probability, soon be herself again.
 Dicky came straight to me, boWlng courteously to Mrs. Durkee and MT. Savarin, and giving Alfred Durkee a playful slap on the shoulder as he passed. You're sure you're all right?" he asked with tender solicitude. That little beast didn't upset you?' , My heart warmed to him, as I heard the genuine ring of worried affection in his voice. I forgave my Peter Fan again for the hundredth time-and flashed loving look at him. No, Pm perfectly all right. l was worried about you, though. Dlo you see her at all "

 ''Lil should worry" Dicky declared magnificently. "I happened to do the head of this agency a large round favor once, ad he's never forgotten. He'd line the street both sides with tees for me, if I wanted them. and it wouldn't cost me a cent. But when he does anything for me, I always draw him something. He's perfectly daffy about illustrations, and that evens things up."
 The Guests Arrive.
 A stir at the door saved me from sarcastic little inquiry as to the num- Der of Dicky's illustrations the head of the agency possessed for this asso citation of my husband with private de- tective agencies annoyed me. I was glad that I had not uttered the com ment, however, when l looked toward the door. I distinctly wanted Dicky to be good natured this evening.
 The guests, although coming from different directions, had arrived al- most in a body. I saw my Cousin Jacks tall figure beside Katherine Sonnot's petite one, little Mrs. Lester and her husband, whom I dislike, Mrs. Watrous, a majestic woman, older than Lillian, whom I had met at her home, and who, I know, was a minia- ture painter of note, and-back of the rest-a man I had thought had gone out of my lie orever..

How Dr. Petit Came Back Into Madge's Life. So Dicky was coming to Lillian's | dinner after all!
 I hugged the thought to my heart when I had a moments time to re- 1 fleet upon the confidence Lillian had just given me concerning the astonish- l ing steps she had taken to safeguard l her party from mischievous lntru- l sion or worse, upon the part of Mrs. | Allis.
 For I was sufficiently acquainted with my husbands vagaries of tenn perament to be fairly certain that he | would be his normal, light-hearted l self again, the irritation against me l that had sent him off in such haste In l the morning entirely forgotten. Nothing diverts Dicky so much from 1 his own sulkiness as the chance to l difficulty, especially if the helping in- ! wolves anything unusual in his eXper1- ence.

 He was the first guest to arrive, in spite of the work Lillian had delegat- ed him to do. I never had seen him look SO handsome as he did when he entered her drawing room. Lillian, too, was radiant.

 You aren't to worry any more," Lillian cried to us all gayly. MT. Graham has arranged everything"

UNDER TWO FLAGS"
 RETURNS TO FOX'S

Judging from the huge crowds that poured into Fox's yesterday after
 noon and last night. there can be
 no doubt that New Britain theater-
 goers know a good thing when they
 see one. And 1t is evident that they
 consider the big fourteen reel double
 feature show that they saw, good
 thing. Starting off with interesting
 views of up-to-the-minute happen
 ings in the world at large as seen by
 the Pathe News, the next picture was
 the demanded return of the immor-
 tai Theda Bara. in her greatest six
 reel success, Under Two Flags"
 which was taken from the novel of
 the same name. It is remarkable
 tribute to Miss Bara's art that over
 half the people that were present yes
 terday had seen the film before, and
 came solely to see it again. The
 story, which is fast becoming as much
 of a literary institution as Uncle
 Toms Cabin," is too well known to
 require repetition, but /the Fox pre-
 sentation of it ends a new charm and
 interest. The scenery, particularly of
 the Algerian desert during sand storm, leaves nothing to be desired in the way of realism and Theda Bara's impersonation of Cigarette. the daughter of the regiment is one of the best things that she has ever done, before or since. The other feature is "The Brand of satan," a l five-reel World drama with the most 1 unusual plot that has ever been screened. Montagu Love, the star, plays the part of a young Parisian who is afflicted with a disease that gives him a dual personality On cer l tain occasions he is the prosecuting attorney, and at other times he be- comes a notorious murderer, Lazard. l Throughout the picture there is con- stant warfare between his two selves, ', of which he is ignorant and the de- nouement is an example of what l clever stage craft can accomplish. In 1 the sixth chapter of "'rhe Fatal Ring" Pearl White runs new risks that out class any of her previous perform ahces. There is one thrill in particu- 1 lar, concerning a caldron of boiling 1 oil, that is in a class of its own for excitement There will be a contin- uous show today.
 Tomorrow nights feature will be the new Metro production, "The Jury of Fate" in which Mabel Taliaferro stars. Monday ushers in the latest Fox offering "The Soul of Satan," in l which Gladys Brockwell. star of the Honor System" plays the lead. Charlie Chaplin will also be seen in
 a two-reel comedy, Work"
