SIDE TALKS
Are Ideals Catching?
BY RUTH CAMERON

A friend of mine asked me the other day to tell her frankly if I thought it would be wise to send her daughter to a certain school.
 Telling people things frankly even when they ask you most urgently is a dangerous proceeding. Nevertheless. I felt 50 strongly on the subject that I said: eff you want your daughter to be in an atmosphere where good clothes, money and going about are looked on as the only things worth while. and to be in danger of devel- oping into that kind of 8 girl, yes, !"
 "Do you mean to say that you think all the training have given her would count for nothing?"
 'sNo, that's why only said to be in danger!''
 "You think she'd be as easily in- fluenced as all that"
 Is 'There Anything Harder Than Not
 to Be Influenced.
 Easily! I don't know of anything harder than to be constantly with a group of people and not be infiu- enced by their ideals. Even after your character is formed it's hard, and at her age it's next to tmpos- sible. It's the group consciousness, and only the ultra strong can resist it. How can she be with them with out thinking the things smart that they think are smart and the things funny that they think are funny and the things worthwhile that they think worthwhile?"

"A PAIR OF QUEENS'
 DRAWS FULL HOUSE

Unrestrained and uproarious laugh ter is the rule at the Lyceum this week, where "A Pair of Queens" the seasons very newest farce comedy is holding sway. Dull care rapidly makes its flight when the curtain rises on the first act and finds no place in your mind for that evening. In the production of "A Pair of Queens" the Walter Naylor players have estab- lished a precedent for late metropol- itan successes. Miss Dow unquestion- ably has the best role of her local en- gagement. As a servant in the Gran by household and an advocate of sys- tenn in the home she is irresistible. A number of theater parties have been arranged for this week, last night be- ing the first, when the employees of the Besse-Leland company attended in a, body.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
What Happened to Madge at Dicky's
By ADELE GARRISON

What Happened to Madge at Dicky's
 Dinner.
 You see it is Fate. No matter how you struggle against it, you cannot escape me-"
 Harry Underwoods brilliant black eyes looked down into mine, his gayly mocking voice sounded in my ears. I had just told him that he was to take me in to dinner and we were leading the way into the quaint dining room of the old Brennan house.
 ''Do look as if were struggling?" I laughed back, and saw a sudden expression of bewilderment in his eyes. followed instantly by a flash of triumph.
 feminine in me leaped to life at that look in the eyes of the man whom l detested, whom I had even feared. l could read plainly enough in his eyes that he thought the assiduous flat teries he had always paid me were commencing to have their result, that I was beginning to recognize the dan gerous fascination he was reputed to have for women of every station.
 had a swift, savage desire to avenge the women he must have made suffer, to hurt him as before dinner he had wounded Lillian, his wife, my dearest friend, because at last she had chosen to be herself and to put aside the mask of rouge and powder and dyed hair behind which she had hid- den her real countenance for so many years at his behest.
 A curious feeling of freedom crept over me, freedom to do exactley as I pleased for at least this one evening. Dicky, himself, by his demand that I take some other dinner partner than MT. Gordon, had thrown me into MT. Underwood's company, while his smiling assumption that I heartily dis liked MT. Underwood had goaded me into planning to make him change his mind on the subject.
 The Spirit That Stirred.
 As for Lillian, I had guessed shrewdly long ago that wherever Lillian Underwood's heart was it was not in the possession of this man to whom she was bound, with whom she had always played the game of life fairly and squarely, no matter what treatment he accorded her. Only 8 few moments before, wearied of his cruel gibes at her appearance, shrink ing from the repetition of them, she divert his mind from his grievance. I knew that Lillian would understand and would not care to what extent I

STUART HOLMES ON
 FOX'S FILM TONIGHT

Fox's theater tonight presents Stuart Holmes in the special William Fox release 'The Derelict.'' Fox pa- irons will remember MT. Holmes in ''The Scarlet Letter." On Thursday the Fox show has been advertised to run continuously from 2:15 till II but in respect to Mayor Quigley's wishes that all counter attractions close while the big parade Is going on the Fox manager is pleased to respond by an- nouncing that the Fox theater will be closed Thursday afternoon and the first show will open at o'clock. The program will run continuously from 5 until II. In addition to Stuart Holmes, the Bushman- -Bayne serial ''Ihe Great Secret" the Fox film comedy and the Hearst-Pathe war news will be features in the Wednes- day and Thursday program.
 Friday and Saturday the show will run continuously from 2:15 till II. 'aThe Barrier by Rex Beach in nine reels will be the feature.

The report that the night tickets have been bought up in advance. is entirely untrue. As stated before no seats whatever are sold in advance. s'The Barrier is advanced as the biggest picture that has ever been produced. Ask any body who has seen it. ask anybody who has read it. It is a Rex Beach story full of blood and thrills. Wild in Variety says it is the biggest big picture that has ever been produced and 1t is better than The Spoilers the fight scene in '"The Barrier"

She Really Asks for Advice

She Really Asks for Advice
 There's something in that" said my friend thoughtfully. She is one of those rare people who do some- times ask for advice for some pur- pose besides the desire to have their own views confirmed. frankly
 This is another: A young girl of about twenty, 2 girl brought up in a home where ideals of truth and the square deal prevailed; asked to use my telephone one day She first called up woman at whose house she had 8 business engagement. told her she had to go to the doctors, and broke the engagement, though 1t was plain to sec it was inconvenient for the woman. Next she called up the hair dresser and made an appoint ment for the hour at which she had said she could not possibly keep her business engagement.
 That Was Her Idea of Smartness.
 As she hung up the receiver, she turned smilingly to me. Some little prevaricator" she said in evident de- light at her smartness.
 That was what living constantly with a group of girls with certain ideals of what is smart and what is funny and what is worthwhile. had done for her.
 Now I don't think I'm a prig but I must say that didn't appeal to me. ~/@ @........-... ..z.

carried on an apparent filtration with her husband.
 So instead of turning an impassive face to MT. Underwood's next speech l listened with just the hint of an elusive mischievously smile twisting my lips.
 No. you don't look very uncom- fortable. You look"-he caught his breath as if with some emotion too strong for utterance, and then said a trifle huskily: Twill you let me tell you how you look to me?"
 I had to exercise all my self-control to keep from laughing in his face. He was such a poseur, his stimulation of emotion was so melodramatic that I wondered if he really imagined would be impressed by it.
 Don't tell me just now," said softly. "Wait till after dinner"
 "Afraid?" he challenged.
 Perhaps" countered. He gave my hand lying upon his arm a swift, furtive pressure and released it so quickly that there was no possibility of his being observed. I had no time to rebuke him, had I been, so disposed. for We had almost reached our places at the table.
 do not remember much of the dinner over which Mother Graham. Katie and had worked so assfdously That everything went off smoothly, as We had planned, that from the Casaba. melons which were served first, to the walnuts of the last course, everything was delicious in flavor and perfect in service I was gratefully but dimly aware.
 For I felt as if were on the brink of a volcano. Not because of Harry Underwood's elaborate show of at tention to me to which I was pre- tending to respond, much to the dis gust of my mother-in-law, but on ac- count of the queer behavior of Robert Gordon.
 Lillian, who was making a pitt fully brave attempt to bring to the occasion all the airy brightness with which she was wont to make any gathering favored by her presence success. secured only the briefest re- sponses from him. although he had taken her out to dinner. Sometimes he made no answer at all to her re- marks. evidently not hearing them.
 What Harry's Whisper Caused.
 He watched me almost constantly. and so noticeable was his action that saw every one at the table was aware of it. It was a gaze to set any ones brain throbbing with wild so mournfu1. so elusive 1t was. The fantastic thought cros- sed my mind that this mysterious elderly friend of my dead mothers looked like a long famfshed man com ing suddenly in sight, of food.
 By the time the dinner was over I was intensely nervous. Katie served us our coffee in the living room. and when I took mine my hand trembled so that the tiny cup rattled against the saucer. I rose from my chair and walked to the fire place, set the cup upon the mante1 and stood look ing into the blazing logs Jim had heaped against the old chimney. My guests could not see my face, and I hoped to be able to pull myself to- gether. ....
 Ready to have me tell you how you look to me, now?" said Harry voice, softly, insidiously in my ear.
 I started and moved a little away from him, which brought mo nearer to the fire. The next moment I was wildly beating at little tongues of flame running up the flimsy fabric of my dress.
