DOROTHEA ANTEL AS PEGGY O'MOORE'
 Hyn R?fss

Sp,r's s. h. .
 This Week The Wa1ter-,.Naylor Players will appear in Little Peggy OMoore' and many will be pleased to know that the Antel Sisters will take part in the performance. There IS something unique about Little Peggy O'Moore" which gives the play oy that name g. certain distinction. Peggy is little Irish girl,, whose parents died when she was quite young. She grows up and finally comes to America to see what sort of a man this great Dan Murphy, her guardian whom she has heard so much about, is. She falls in love with him at sight but 1t would be robbing one of half the pleasure if the whole story was told here. But Peggy's love affair is only part of the play for Dan Murphy, who is mayor of a typical American city, becomes involved in a political wrangle which develops some unusually exciting scenes and which tests every ounce of metal in the man. That Dan proves himself a hero goes without saying for Peggy is not that kind of a girl who could love man unless he acquitted him self in proper way. There is enough comedy in the piece to afford hearty laugh now and then and, in fact, nothing is missing that could make the show more effective than it is. If you liked Peg of My Heart you'l surely love Little Perry O'Moore."

 did not exactly fancy the idea of dining a deux with Dr. Petit. You promised not even to wrinkle your fose," he began banteringly. Then his manner changed and he gave me a long, questionang look. "Of
 course. If you really wish not to dine with me- he said gravely, "that is an- other thing.''
 I knew that I had hurt him, and with the knowledge mood of de- fiance seized me. After all, it was only on Dickys account that I had hesitated about dining with the young physician-Dicky. who certainly had been anything but considerate of me during the last few hours. I felt reckless. careless of conse- quences. I turned to him with a little excited laugh.
 Don't be silly" said, and pur- posely made my tone as friendly as I could, T shall be delighted to take your prescription: in fact, I think it a most charming one.'
 He caught me by the hand and drew me to my feet boyishly. as if a sudden weight of care had fallen from him.
 Come along then" he said Have you any choice as to restaurants; do you want one with music or without?' ?''
 'I'I let you discover that for your self" I replied mischievously, 'you se- lect the restaurant, and afterward I'll tell you whether or not you've guessed right"
 ''I'n just take you on that" he re- piled and then we walked in silence out of the building and into a crowd outside, which was rapidly dispensing.
 But in no direction could an empty taxicab be seen. When pr. Petit had assured himself of this fact he turned to me ruefully:
 I'm afraid there isn't a taxi to be found anywhere" he said. Do you
 want to go over and take the subway to some uptown place? Or would you rather walk to one of the less pre- tentious places around here?" ''Then Lead Me.-' "Oh, let us walk by all means" I returned, for ! still felt stifled by my experience in the crowd. Are you fond of sea food?" Dr. Petit demanded abruptly after we ! had walked almost a block south from the Garden.
 Love it, I responded promptly, Well then,'' he returned, 1T think you'll like a place a few blocks down here. It's the oldest chop and oyster l house in New York;, rather shady neighborhood, but perfectly respect

 Then lead me to it, said, with a
 reckless quoting of one of Dicky's s 1 favorite slang phrases. felt rather than saw Dr. Pettit's quickly re- pressed look of surprise at my words,
 for I have always rather prided my self upon my avoidance of slang. But in the reckless mood that had seized me I did not much care what anybody thought.
 It was as if had flung away my real sober self in the way I would toss aside a shabby old coat. For one hour at least I would be merry.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

Why Madge Determined "For One
 Hour at Least I Would Be Merry" l I think I shall look back upon the
 time occupied by the speech of the President of the United States at tho
 Madison Square Garden as one of the
 most miserable hours in my life. And all because 8 passing band ir a political parade chose to play the
 "Red. White and Blue" as the Presi. dent began to talk.
 The crashing strains burst into the hall just after the orator had suc- ceeded in getting the crowd to cease yelling for him, and began listening
 to him. For 8 few moments he was
 unable to make his voice heard at all
 and by the time the band had passed
 and he had resumed his effort, my
 thoughts were so far away that the
 rest of the speech, for which l had
 waited so patiently, might have been
 Greek for all heard of it.
 For the notes of the "Red, White and Blue" will always be associated in nay mind with one of the tenderest memories a woman can have, the re- membrance of the first kiss from the lips of the man who afterward be- comes her husband.
 The figure of the speaker, the vision of the wonderful dipping flags. the presence of Dr. Petit at my side, the very walls of the immense structure in which I sat, faded away. and was standing again with Dicky in the fra grance of a late summer night in one of the great city parks, listening to the distant strains of the "Red, White and Blue,' played at a band concert given by the great city to her music hungry children. We were far enough from the crowds around the stands to be secure from observing eyes. Music especially patriotic music, always moves me strangely, makes me shiver. Dicky had protectingly laid his hand over mine. and the next moment had swept me into a crushing embrace with his lips upon mine.
 It had been our real betrothal. The words came later.
 The royal lover he had been then! The contrast between the reverentia ardor of those days and the bruta discourtesy which he meted out to mt this very evening, turned me fairly l i'll for moment: then, angry, reck lessly angry. It was a dangerous
 mood.
 1 As the president left the speaker ] stand, Dr. Petit drew out his watcl and turned to me. 1 "It is early yet he said. mot quite 10 o'clock: there is a whole hour ant
 a half before that 11:30 train to Mar win. I think" looking at me quizzi cally. 'sI shall have to prescribe To- you. will you promise to take thu prescription without making face?'

SIDE TALKS

A Very Amusing Story.
BY RUTH CAMERON


 In answer to, the little article which I wrote about the woman who crit icized a protege and benenciary oi hers she went to the movies occa- sionally, a letter friend ,has sent me such delightful little story that am giving my space to her today.
 II have just been reading one Went to the Movies she writes. land 1t reminded me or story heard but yesterday. I'll tell it to you and use fictitious names. The Kind of Woman She Was. :.
 Mrs s. was an early settler here. She came to America from England leaving a dead beat husband. Here she opened little library and read ing room. Her father had been second hand bookseller in London and she grew up in the atmosphere of books and made the acquaintance of authors over the counter. She had also been to India where she nao made a governess' acquaintance Wlth Lord and Lady This and That. when she came here, she found many Eng fish. She assumed the air of a great lady, although as O'ffenry would say 'Decayed Gentility in Reduced Cir cumstances. These circumstances grew more and more reduced, until as age drew on, she became genteel pauper, supported by the aims of wealthy old-timers.
 They Wanted Her to Have Some Real
 Now to my story. suggested by yours. Tho Misses B. two ancient maidens wealthy and charitable, con- suited friend as to whether it would do to sepd Mrs. G. a little an- onymous gift of $1O. The friend needed for real comforts as winter came on. So the gift was sent.
 The friend went to see Mrs. G. and at once heard of the ten dollars. She also heard how it was destined to be spent.
 T shall give a reception. I want it to be very select. The rooms are not large and shall have only the best people and I want you to help me with the list The friend en- tered some protests against such a use of the money but finally yielded as she could not betray the donors.
 Their Wish Was Fulfilled.
 WHeH preparing the lists she ven- turea to submit the name of the sis- ters. Oh. no, I couldn't think of asking them. They are we'll mean ing persons for all I know. but this must be a really choice occasion.'
 And so it came to pass. Wasn't that killing?"
 Anyhow they should not have com plained, for unquestionably in her snobbery their beneficiary got what they wanted her to have,-real com- fort.
