Just as there are and always will be two kinds of women, the woman in the home and the woman out of it, so the woman's publication should have the best and most modern material touching both!" She recalled that she had had great difficulty getting people to write good stuff about home matters, and had eliminated that feature, preferring l to specialize on the more unusual things. Now it came to Janet with a l rush of joyous conviction that there was her solution! She would employ l her talent and her experience in the

Better fifty years of Europe than cycle of Cathay," quoted someone the other day.
 Where is Cathay?" asked Molly, the stenographer-iady.
 "Yes," said the Authorman's Wife. where is it? I've always wanted to know
 So have l." said Molly.
 Don't believe it." said the Cynic.
 "Whv not?" demanded the Author mans Wife.
 "If you did, you'd have looked it up, wouldn't you?" asked the Cynic.
 "Well-' said Molly.
 That's Different.
 Yes" said the Cynic, you're go- ing to say that's different or some- thing to that effect. You want to know a thing in a vague way, but when 1t comes to making the effort to look it up that's different And yet 1t would only take you this long, Whereupon he turned to the encyclo- pedia and after a fifty second search informed us that Cathay was the name employed by the European sof the Middle Ages for China.
 After which he delivered a lecture on the vague footless. lifeless way in which we want to know" things. X If We Could See Each Others

DRAMATIC CRITICS LAUD LYCEUM PLAY

Those who frequent the Lyceum theater since the Walter Naylor play CTS put in an appearance here have noticed for one thing the promptness with which the curtain is rung up at 1 the beginning of all shows. MT. Nay i Tor insists upon the curtain going up 1 at S:15. and, "up she goes." He also insists on perfect performance on Monday night, and. the players give one as near perfect as human facul- l ties allow. Dress rehearsals are held 1 in the afternoon and mornings of 1 Monday, and, at night every line and l situation is mastered. These are the l things which are building up strong 1 reputation for the Naylor players. l Tonight's performance of The Trail
 of the Lonesome Pine' promises to l be in keeping with the new order of
 things at the Lyceum
 The play tonight will afford Miss
 Virginia Perry, the leading lady Of
 the Naylor players, wonderful op-
 Iortunities to use a Southern dialect
 that is natural to her. Born and
 raised in Virginia, Miss Perry knows
 the habits of that wonderful people
 who live in the Blue Ridge mountains.
 ''The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.'' is
 a dramatization of the book of John
 FOX, Jr., Americas leading play
 wright. Eugene Walter, who has given
 to the stage some many typically
 American dramas, took the charac-
 ters from Fox's book. and. following
 closely the original story, wove around them one of the most inter-
 esting plots ever presented before a
 twentieth century audience. The finest bit of character drawing in the
 play Is represented in the girl "June,'
 whose life and surroundings are
 somewhat similar to those of Lorna
 Doone." She is raised in the noun
 tains. has never seen anything of modern civilization. Her people are 1noonshiners, breakers of the law. Not , until two civil engineers go into the
 Cumberland Valley to survey and
 formulate plains for a great steel in l dustry. does June ever meet any men
 ether than the rough mountaineers
 Then, with the opposition that is set
 up by her people against ''furriners, she has her hands full Miss Doro- l thea Antel will be given a great
 chance to come into her own this
 week because of the character when , she will portray. In Miss Antel the Walter Naylor players possess a char ucter actress of wonderful ability Her
 work in Baby Mine," stamped her also as a commedienne. Last weeks f play because of it's construction did , rot afford her ample means to fol :" low up the success which she won ir l. her previous endeaVO"s.
 . In casting the other members o1 a the cast Mr.. Naylor has exercised I those rare gifts of discretion whicE
 make for an evenly balanced play t Ralph Murphy will be given par - which should enable him to show an
 other side of hstronic nature. PhiHE - Quin, always admirably cast. will d nave part with even more actior that that which was demanded o1
 him in last weeks performance. "The > Trail of the Lonesome Pine is - play that has demanded the atter- ~' jon of the best dramatic critics in the
 country.

DOES RHEUMATISM
 BOTHER YOU ?
Many Doctors Use Musterole

So many sufferers have found relief in Musterole that you ought to buy a small jar and try it.
 Just spread it on with the fingers. Rub it in. First you feel gentle glow, then a delicious, cooling comfort. Musterole routs the twinges, loosens up stifened joints and muscles.
 Musterole is a clean, white ointment, made with oil of mustard. It penetrates to the scat of pain and drives it away, but does not blister the tenderest skin.
 It takes the place of the mussy, old fashioned mustard plaster.

 Ut is only that without telling you a deliberate untruth I gave both you and your mother the impression that had never seen MT. Gordon before that night at the Sydenham.'
 "Is that all?" mocked Dicky. "Why I knew that the moment you spoke as you did that night. You're as trans parent as child, my dear. and be- sides, your elderly friend let the cat out of the bag when he said he feared he had annoyed you by trying to find out your identity. I knew you must have seen him somewhere You don't know all," I persisted, and then without reservation I told him frankly the whole story of MT. Gordons spying upon me.

Janet Stedman sat without moving had gone-Lucy, with her new we'd ding ring and her bravely won victory. Janet had a good deal the feeling of a person caught by g. cyclone and de- posted in new surroundings, with complete set of new problems to solve.
 Lucy had done difficult thing, per haps the most difficult thing woman can do-throttled her love for 8 man, taken herself out of his life. cut her self off through marriage from any likelihood of future meeting, and still remain sweet toward the world, eager to pick up new threads of work, de- termined to give the best of herself and her service where she could, no l matter the cost.
 Janet pondered long upon Lucy. It l was not humanly possible that Walt l should not miss her. They had la 1 bored together through the making l of two whole books. both of them l successful Lucy's nimble mind and l capacity for work had quickened Walt 1 to his best efforts.
 Her help had been beyond calcula- 1 tion. What would be the result of l it's sudden withdrawal? Janet asked herself. And then into her conscious ness something whispered, That is l for you to say! You must be two 1 women, not only Waits wife and the l maker of his home, but Waits fellow worker. his intelligent, sympathetic l helpful comrade, as Lucy was"
 l For a moment Janet quailed at the task. Then she remembered Lucy's l words, cit will be a hard row to hoe 1 but the very hardness of it Is saving i mel" If Lucy Benton could hoe a 1 hard row and find it's difficulties stim. l ulating, she could do the same.

"A lady told me the other day." said MT. Martin, the Lax-a-Tone ex- pert at the Economy New England Drug Co.,, 365 Main St., "that Lax-a- Tone was the talk of the neighbor- hood. I told her it was the talk of the United States, as everywhere Lax a-Tone has been introduced the peo- pie have received such wonderful re- suits that they cannot say too much for it, and it's success runs through neighborhoods like wildfire.
 Mrs. Downer, 263 Church St., who Is well-known here, says:

 For I was guiltly conscious of more than one thing I also had al- ways wanted to know"
 For instance, years and years ago, I started to read an article in the paper about the origin of familiar saS'ings. I had just reached the one about setting the river on fire when some one called me and l laid the paper down. When I thought of the article again, I couldn't find the paper, and ever since then I've wanted to know what was the origin of the phrase He'll never set the river on fre.'
