REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
Ry ADELE GARRISON

A Tilt of Wits Over thte Telephone.
 Is this Mrs. Graham"
 The feminine voice that came over the telephone was a strange one to me, clear, musical, were it not for just the suspicion of hardness in it's timbre.
 T am she" Unconsciously my voice took formal note. I felt as ii were putting myself in armor to meet some unlooked-for blow.
 "Oh, I am so glad! I have been trying to get you all the morning. MT. Graham left a message for you with me and made me promise to be sure to deliver it-he knows how for getful am, and I don't want to set tie to anything else until it's off my mind"
 The voice was full of mischief. l am not so dull as not to recognize a touch of malice when I hear it, ana instinctively I knew that the unknown woman at the other end of the wire was waiting for the answer I should make her as cat would wait TOT mouse.
 ~~-~>-O my voice and manner icy, and pur- posely assumed a careless cheery air.
 Ut is trial to be forgetful, isn't it?" I asked, and then added cordially. II am so sorry I happened to be out when you called before. I don't SUD- pose it is a very important message after all" I was firmly resolved not to ask for it.
 "You will have to be the judge of that the voice replied, and hint of tartness showed me that I had scored. MT. Graham wished me to tell you that he wasn't certain wheth- CT he could attend Mrs. Underwood's dinner tonight or not, but he wishes you to know that if he isn't there. he will meet you and MT. Savarin at the Pennsylvania station in time for the 11:3O train"
 'Wives Are Apt to Know"
 Thank you so much for telling me-" I returned sweetly, although it really wouldn't have made so very much difference if you had forgotten it. MT. Graham told me all that this morning before he left. but I suppose that he has been so busy he forgot what he did say"
 He must hold championship in the forgetting line," the voice retort- ed. Now I wouldn't think that of MT. Graham. I always thought he never forgot anything. But his wife surely ought to know"
 ''Yes wives are apt to know" I re-

YOU NEVER SAW
 REAL HART BEFORE

William S. Hart Is to be seen not as a gambler, a bad man. a gun fighter or killer, but, in strong con- trast to his previous work. In a part that is almost idyllic in its big heart ed, rugged honesty and devotion. His famous six shooters are drawn only twice, and then with ohivalrous in- tent,
 Hart plays the part of a ranchmar "a grim, silent man who Is sort of king of his vast domains. The story circles around the one love adventure of a solitary mans life. a love which ends in self sacrifice and relinauish- . msnt.
 A part of this kind Is 50 diffsrent from Hart's previous portrayals that the picture will reveal to hls ad- mirers subtle traits of characterisa- ton that will come as surprise to those who think they arc familiar with svery phase of his art

News For 7heater8oery and Women Readers
PRICE OF PRIDE"
 GENUINE THRILLER

Judging from the high pitch of en- thusiasm to which the two huge audi ences that witnessed the showing of The Price of Pride" at Foxs yester- day, were aroused, it is safe to say that not for many months has there been shown a picture in New Britain that has caught the public fancy to such an extent as this big-red- blooded World production. June Elvidge, the capable star of the piece, has a part that is entirely different from any, thing that she has hitherto attempted, and she shows one or two new his- trionic attributes that she has been keeping secret. Her co-star Carlyle Blackwell plays an extremely difficult dual role, that of half broth CTS who resemble each other so closely that one is arrested for a murder of which the other is guilty, and is nearly sentenced to death by his own father, who is totally un- aware of the relationship existing be- tween himself and the prisoner.
 The secondary feature of the show, '"The Fatal Ring" must not be over looked, for it Is universally conceded to be the greatest serial ever pro- duced by any company, and Pearl White is winning @ host of new ad- mirers in every episode. The present chapter contains thrills of a kind that have not been seen before.
 Tomorrow's feature will be pic- ture of a new kind, something that is absolutely different from the gen. eral run of productions It is called Miss Robinson Crusoe," and the fact that charming Emmy Wehlen plays tho title role is only one of many points in it's favor. Of particular in terest is the announcement of Mon- days big picture, the newest Fox production in which the popular Dus- tin Farnum returns, called "Durand of the Bad-lands."

 Silly? Yes, in a way, he said, and yet I don't know that I blame her. Her husband is in business. She doesn't want to brand him as a fail ure. That would be both hard on him and bad for his business. It pays In business to seem successful even if you aren't Isn't she doing the right thing to put up the best appearance she can.

Perhaps some wo- men deserve credit because they really don't like to make such pre- tences, and make them against their will. I know I should loath 1t.
 But there's one weak point in the argument. I didn't think of 1t in time to put it up to the Authorman Gone seldom does) but I'm going to bring it up next time we meet. Do such pretenses rally justify themselves by deceiving anyone? Again I wonder.

SUMMER SHOW AT
 KEENEY'S POPULAR

Warm weather fails to make appre- ciable inroads on the attendance at Keeney's and good sized audiences continue the rule. The near-capacity houses are largely attributable to the fact that the theater is kept cooled by one of the most modern vent1lating systems invented and the excellent quality of the vaudeville and motion picture programs offered. Keeney's bows to none for the length and quality of its shows and even warm weather has no terrors for its patrons.

turned, laughing. Then at her un- expected, rather snappy "Good-by," l murmured a saccharine response, and hung up the receiver, thoroughly puzzled as to the identity intimate terms with Dicky for him thus to use her in getting even" with me. For that was the reason for the ridiculous telephone message. knew that as we'll as if I had been privileged to look inside of Dicky's brain While he was evolving the scheme. He had been so piqued by my reproof of one of his peculiarly atroc1ous slang expressions that he had gone into town with Lillian on an early train, leaving Robert Saverin on my hands and vaguely threatened that he might not be able to attend the dinner Lillian was giving in the artists honor
 That he would come to the dinner 1 was certain, for he knew Lillian well enough to stand in wholesome awe of her wrath. But both because of his anger at my presuming to re- prove him and of his ridiculous jeal- ousy of Robert Savarin, he had made up his mind that he would cause me annoyance in some way. Hence the childish telephone message relayed through some one else.
 But who was the woman?
 The curiosity which flatter my self was so wholly absent from my voice as to pique the woman at the other end of the telephone wire now would not be denied.
 Which Friend of Dacky's?
 My thoughts went first to the southern girl. Edith Fairfax, whom had once seen with Dicky in Ham beps millinery department buying an expensive hat. Dicky had explained away the incident, but the memory of the girls face in the cafe later as she looked at Dicky, wholly uncon- scious that her eyes were proclaiming to all who saw them that she loved him, had haunted me ever since
 But I acquitted both her and her sister Leila of the telephone message. Instinct told me that their voices were not the calibre of this woman's. and that they would hardly lend themselves to such a trick.
 And then there came 8 swift mem- ory of the other girl who had ac- companied the Fairfax girls to the restaurant on that memorable night, the one who had initiated the forty dollar hat so cleverly. The convic- ton struck me forcibly that she and no other was the sender of the tele- phone message. But was she a friend of Dicky's.

sections had suffered most, the south
end being very little affected. In the
north end, line reaching from Mount
Joy to Mannheim, Ephrata and Mechan-
icsburg marks broad belt of frost de-
struction and is itself considerable
part of the half million dollar loss in
the expected $1,000, 1000 Lancaster
county tobacco crop.
The more mature a crop was, the
more it suffered and crops on the low
ground suffered most. Being on the
northern side of a hill meant to suffer
more than on the south side. During
the past week much cutting has been
going on by the light of lanterns, and
the night following the big frost many
growers built fires around their fields
as protection against further frost.
1t must be noticed, too, that the SUM-
shine which came the day after the
frost aided the damage by striking the
frosted leaves and lying warm upon
them all day. Had the day been cloudy
and cooler so that the frost would have
been passed off gradually, the loss
would have been less.
