A friend of mine came up on my verandah and dropped into chair with a sight of weariness. She looked terribly dragged.
 Been working hard?' l asked.
 NO" she said "but I've been on the go. I've been out every night this week and I'm going out tonight. It seems to me as if l just couldn't get dressed and go.'
 "Why do you?"
 "Oh, l must. I've planned to go to dinner with some people,
 Poor lady, she looked so utterly weary and harassed that I couldn't help pitying her. And yet no orc in the world but hersef was to blame. She doesn't have to work hard tp drive the wolf from tho door, sha doesn't have sick relatives to keep her sleep starved. She just was try ing so hard to have a good time th2t she lost the good time.
 So Many People Lose Happiness
 That Way.
 And she was only one of vast army of people who do just that.
 A full life is a happy one.
 A crowded life is a miserable one.
 Sometimes l let too many engage ments crowd themselves into a week l get so tired that there is no longer any savor to my pleasures and my neglected work haunts me like a re- proachful ghost. And then l always think of the society people who have one engagement after another Sched- uled for every moment and I under stand perfectly why they,--with no work at all to do,-have to take rest cures.
 They Must Lead q Dogs life.
 thing 1t must be q dogs life. Of course they crowd their lives that way because they are afraid of the appalling emptiness. They haven't that great blessing ''scmething which must be done every day whether you want to or not ard so they nanu- fracture a substitute and overshoot the mark.
 It is a pitiful thing to search for happiness so clumsily that we crush it in the search.
 The One Evening You Really
 Enjoyed
 Haven't you had d week when you let yourself plan so many things that the only evening you really enjoyed was the one you spent at home?
 Of course it is foolish to get into the rut of staying home all the time. but allow yourself enough rest that you can enjoy your pleasures.
 I have a plan that helps me. When I get overtired I have 8 lie-abed and read evening. 1 go to bed about a half hour after dinner have a read ing lamp by the bed and read for an hour or two, then go to sleep. I just love those evenings and l also love

TWO LITTLE IMPS"
 ON FOX'S SCREEN

1.-TWO Little Imps,' the big six part feature of the present Fox pro gram proved to be far more than the sensation that was promised. It is a positive riot. Funny. unheard of situations abound, and the comedy of the piece is of the CleaneSt, most legitimate kind. Jane and Katherine Lee the little five and seven year old girls that play the stellar roles, are a revelation in the annals of child acting. As to the story of Two Little lmps," it has to do with a young and handsome bachelor. to whose in experienced care is entrusted the well fare of his two supposedly angelic nieces at an expensive summer hotel. As soon as Mama disappears, the little 'angels' proceed to take charge of the hotel, without the consent of the management. There are many screamingly funny situations arising through the young ladies innocent lack of convention, through which they stage hula-hula dances in rather doubtful attire, make their ap- pearance in the crowded dining room clothed in their native innocence and not much else, and otherwise embarass their uncomprchendng uncle, who is pushing his suit with beautiful heiress in the face of all these ditti- culties.
 Tom Mix, in two thousand feet of cOnsested thrills called Movie Stunts" performs the most surprising and dangerous feats ever performed before the camera.
 A funny Linder comedy in which Max attempts to relieve his suffering feet of a pair of viciously new shoes at a dinner party adds a bit of comedy to the bill while Ralph Herz in "The Regeneration of Reginald" pushes the fun along.
 For Wednesday and Thursday the powerful, fivepart Vitagraph drama, "The Courage of Silence" featuring Alice Joyce and Harry Mercy has been engaged.

THE DESERT MAN"
 AT LYCEUM TONIGHT

Tonight William S. Hart will ap- pear in the best he has ever been shown in "The Desert Man, A tense tale of the eternal struggle waged be- tween good and evil. From the crowds that attended the Lyceum last eve ming. 'tis easily seen that William S.. Hart is one of the stars that the New Britain movie fans wish to see.
 MT. Hart is a typical Westerner, his ability to tote" a gun and ride a broncho is interestingly displayed in this picaure. For Wednesday and Thursday the Lyceum offers H. B.. Warner, supported by Violet fleming in 'The Danger Trair'. by James Oliver Curwood. These, are the pie lures that everyone likes to see, those that have the "pep'', the kind of pie lures that keep you watching the screen from start to finish. This is a tale of the far north so you may be assured of plenty of action and a good story throughout. Don't forget, you can be movie star of the Ly- ceum, Wednesday and Saturday mat inee.

SUBMARINE THRILLER
 CROWDS THE SCENIC

"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea-" Jules Verne's masterpiece, is attracting large audiences to the Scenic theater. The Scenic is the first theater in New Britain to book this classic and the management is reaping a financial harvest.
 From beginning to end of this nine- reel thriller, the audience is held spellbound It discloses a wonderful tale, the facts of which were believed impossible until American ingenuity invented the submarine. It is grip ping, tense and realistic, giving some idea of what submarine sailors endure while gliding through the silent paths of ocean. "Twenty Thousand Leagu Under the Sea- should not be missed The story by Verne is in itself consid- cred an immortal work; it has lost nothing in it's transfer from book form to the film.

GERARD RETURNS TO
 LIFE OF PRIVACY
Former Ambassador to Germany Ten dcred Resignation Soon After
 Reaching America.

Washington, JuN ' 1o.-James w. Gerard, of New York, exam bassador to Germany. has resigned from the diplomatic service and returned to private life. His resignation was ac- cepted some time ago, though the fact was not allowed to become known un- til last night.
 The resignation terminates an Am bassadorial career regarded at the State department as one of the most important in American diplomatic history. Assuming the post st Berlin but a year before the outbreak of the world war. MT. Gerard was called upon almost from the first to exercise all his abilities to maintain friendly relations between his government and Germany at the same time that he was caring for the vast diplomatic in terests there of the Allies.
 Establishing personal relations with the German chancellor and foreign office, and not infrequently consulting the emperor himself, the Ambassador conveyed the energetic protests of the United States without actually inn pairing his personal standing until the time came to demand his pass ports.
 MT. Gerard and his staff returned to the United States March 12, after which he received liberal allowance of time to prepare his reports for the closing chapters of his mission. When this was done, he submitted his resig- nation, which was accepted, to take effect upon the expiration of the usual leave of absence. He has not indicated to officials here his plans for the future.
 New York, July 10.-Mr. Gerard last night at the RitZ-Carlton, said he resigned shortly after returning from Germany.
 You know I am writing a book" he said, with a laugh. "and I don't want anything to crimp it's style.'
 MT. Gerard said he had not made any plans for the future. He smiled when it was suggested that he might be a candidate for mayor this fall.
 "I don't believe there is anything in that" he said. Sometimes. you know, it is a good thing for a man in public life to get out while the going is good"

THE END.
The State of WestsyIvania.


The province and government of
Westsylvania" was a proposal made by
the settlers in the southwest of Penn
sylvania and the adjacent territory for
the creation of new state. 1t origl-
mated in connection with the troubles
between Virginia and Pennsylvania,
and the scheme was brought forward
early in July, 1776 A description OF
the proposed government defines the
bounds as "beginning at the eastern
branch of the Ohio opposite the mouth
of the Scioto and running thence i'll Il
direct line to the Owasioto pass, thence
to the top of the Allegheny mountains,
thence with the top of the said noun
tains to the northern limits of the pur-
chase made from the Indians in 176S at
the treaty of Fort Stanwix. thence
with the said limits to the Allegheny or
Ohio river and then down the said
river as purchased from the said In
dams at the aforesaid treaty of Fort
Stanwix at the beginning" call for
a convention to organize the govern
ment was issued, but a memorial of
the Virginia committee of West Au-
gusta county to the lower house of as
sembly led to the abandonment of the
plan-Philadelphia Press.

Crystal palace was originally built
in Hyde park for the great exhibition
of 1851, being afterward removed to
its present site and regretted. At
the first state opening of the palace by
Queen Victoria it was urged that the
usual artillery salute should not be
fred, the reason given being that the
conclusion would SILVER the glass roof
and the company assembled below, in
Guiding her majesty. would be cut into
nincemeat. Dire We're the predictions
of the scaremongers when the design
for the palace was made public. The
first gale. they said, would inevitably
wreck it. while the heat engendered by
the sun pouring its rays upon the
domed glass roof would be so terrific
that no human being could withstand
it. Consequently If they escaped an
avalanche of glass they would be roast
ed to death inside the case.

The Alarming Cablegram.

1t was at this time ION Nov %, 1915,
ten days after | had been wounded)
that my father In Lexington received
the following cablegram from the Off
Ger in charge of the Canadian records
In England:
Sincerely regret to inform you that Ser
geant Alexander McClintock is officially
reported dangerously ill in No s general
hospital from gunshot wound in left thigh.
Further particulars supplied when re-
ceived.
1t appears that during the time of
my adventures with the black dog and
the inattentiye nurse my temperature
had assembled to the stage when the
doctors began to admit another method
of treatment might have been success
full But l didn't pass out. The one
thing | most regret about my close call
Is that my parents in Lexington were
in unrelieved suspense about my con-
dition until | myself sent them cable
from London on Dec. 10. After the
first official message seemingly pre-
pared almost as preface to the an
nouncement of my demise, my father
received no news of me whatever.
And, as didn't know that the official
message had gone, cabled nothing to
him until l was feeling fairly clipper
again You can't have wars, though,
without these little misunderstanding
If it were possible should say some
thing here which would be fitting and
adequate about the Englishwomen
who nursed the $500 wounded men in
general hospital No. 5 at Rouen, but
that power isn't given me. All | can
do is to fall back upon our most pro-
and say that my hat is off to them.
One nurse in the ward in which | lay
had been on her feet for fifty-six hours.
with hardly time even to eat She
finally tainted from exhaustion, was
carried out of the ward and was back
operation. And the doctors were do
ing their bit, too, in living up to the
obligations which they considered to
be theirs. An operating room was in
every ward with five tables in each.
After the fight on the Somme, in which
was wounded, not a table was va
cant any hour in the twenty-four for
days at a time Outside of each room
was long line Of stretchers contain
ing patients next awaiting surgical at
tention. And in all that stress / did
not hear one word of complaint from
the surgeons who stood hour after
hour, using their skill and training for
the petty pay of English army medical
officers.
On Dec. 5 l was told | was well
enough to be sent to England, and on
the next day went on hospital train
from Rouen to Havre Here | was
placed on hospital ship which every
medical officer in our army ought to
have a chance to inspect. Nothing in
yenuity could contrive for convenience
md comfort was missing. Patients
we're sent below decks in elevators
md then placed in swinging cradles
which hung level no matter what the
ships motion might be. AS soon rs
had been made comfortable in my
particular cradle was given a box
