REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
Now Mrs. Allis Appeared Upon the Scene.
By ADELE GARRISON

Now Mrs. Allis Appeared Upon the
 Scene.
 Dicky's childish 'getting even'' shadowed the rest of the day for me. But I don't think my husband would have been much gratified if he had known just why I was depressed.
 The personality of the unknown woman telephoning me at Dicky' $ behest did not annoy> me. at all Neither did the message she relayed to me with such evident malicious enjoyment, for Dicky had already threatened to cut Lillian's dinner and l was very sure that whole some fear of Lillian's wrath would keep him from carrying out his threat.
 The thing which stung me, how ever, carrying its barbed dart into the secret recesses of my soul, was the fact that Dicky could do so caddish a thing as to take some other woman into his confidence regarding ms plan to tease me.
 The malicious enjoyment in the girls voice as she relayed the mes sage showed me only too plainly that Dicky must have confidence in her, and the realization that he had done so made me fairly i'll.
 There came into my mind again, as it had come many times before, Je- rome's famous adjuration to women, Heaven help you, madam, IT your husband does not love you because Of your foibles instead of in spite Of them.' I, paraphrasing it, felt that I indeed needed heavens help, for this wasn't the first time that I had been compelled to assure myself that I loved my husband lin spite" of some revealed defect in his charac- ter. My common sense told me, how ever, that there was no use breeding over the matter, and l put 1t out Of my mind as soon as I could.
 Why Mr. Savarin Hesitated.
 Robert Savarin went directly to hls room when we came back from our walk, pleading fatigue. At luncheon he was pale and distrait, and I saw that his highly organized nervous system had been affected by the strain of the past few days: I knew that his revived love for Lillian, which he considered hopeless. had caused him poignant misery, and I wondered if he might not still be worrying over the reappearance of Mrs Allis, the woman who had once called herself his wife, and while doing so had wrecked his life.
 My question was answered by one from him. Just before we arose from the luncheon table he asked in what
New Britain herald., 1917-08-13

he evidently meant to be a careless tone. but which my ear recognized as tense, strained:
 How are you going to the station this afternoon when you go in to Mrs. Underwood's dinner?" "Why. I hadn't thought about it. I answered. "The Durkees are going also, you know. We shall probably get a taxi and all four go to the station together
 Isn't there some station on some other inc that we could reach by taxi without too much inconven 1 ience?"
 I considered, trying to keep my face from expressing the surprise l felt. / Its No Use" "Hempstead. on the main line, is only three miles from here," an- 'swered at last.
 ''The two lines don't join until they get to Janhaica-is that right?"
 You are correct"
 Then may I ask that we 20 to Hampstead ?" he said earnestly. "I don't wish to alarm you unduly, bu, l feel bit uneasy about your going to the places you are accustomed to go, for the next few days"
 You don't accept the theory of the others, then, that the shot the other night was fired by the escaped luna- ic who roamed through the village " I. asked quietly, although I was in reality much upset at this recurrence of the fears under which I had la bored.
 T don't know what to think" Rob- ert Savarin returned gravely, "but l know that the woman who once bore my name is very vindictive person, and that she will stop at nothing to be revenged upon any one she fancies woods theory be true that she has added the use of drugs to her other vices, she is indeed desperate and dangerous person, and you cannot take too many precautions.
 T will do exactly as you request" I returned, thoroughly frightened.
 The matter was easily arranged, al- though I had to quiet Mrs. Durkee' s curiosity rather peremptorily. and the Journey to the city held no incident out of the ordinary. But when we reached the taxi stand of the Penn sylvania station a slender yelled figure appeared at my elbow as I was stepping into a car, and 8 voice mur mured mockingly:
 "It's no use trying to fool me, you see. You're only wasting your time trying"

FALL STAR WEEK"
 AGAIN AT LYCEUM

Following the unusual success of "All Star Week." the Lyceum has determined to follow up this practice of presenting all star features to the public, whose merit is due not to press work, but sheer strength of ability. So to start the new week right, the Lyceum will present Bessie BarriSG cale Monday and Tuesday in "Baubs of Blue Ridge" Bessie is no stranger here, always adding to her many ad- mirers with each new appearance. The story, as the name implies, deals with life in the Blue Ridge noun tains. It is wholesome picture, full of action and intensity,-but is not sensational. This is the principle upon which the Lyceum has succeed ed in so short a time. The manage ment believes in clear pictures which can be shown to people from six to sixty without a blush.

We Must Do Something

 The cost of living has meant some deprivations to me. But when I catch myself complaining about 1t in that self plying way hate myself. l shan't suffer Gin all human likeli- hood). No one who belongs to me or whom I know intimately will really suffer.
 Want Them to Complain More.
 I said 1t made me impatient to hear middle class people ocm plain ing about the high cost of living. What l meant was that I objected to the self-pitying, utterly selfish way in which they complain. I want them to complain more, not less. I want them to do more than complain. I want them to be filled with a burn ing indignation which will make them read and study and talk and try to understand this thing so that they can put their influence and their suf- frage behind some force that will bet ter things. The public opinion of the big steady middle class Is the greatest force in this country.
 Let us not be content to sroan about the high cost of living as we do about the hot weather. Let's go without food g. day if necessary to make our selves understand what some people are suffering and to fill Us with right eous indignation instead of fretful grumbling.

 The Central Committee of the Ex- ecutive Committee of the Council of Soldiers and Workmen's Deputies and the Executive Committee of the Peasants Delegates have approved, by an overwhelming majority. Premier Kerensky's latest move, which has distinctly improved the prospects for the survival of the new Cabinet of five. These two organizations repre- sent the workmen, soldiers and peas- ants all over the empire, unlike the Petrograd Council of. Soldiers and Workmen's Deputies. They are the nearest thing to a Parliament which Russia possesses.
 M Avksenteff, former Minister of the Interior appealed to the meeting to help keep the Government afioat. He said great dangers were impend ing, of which one was that Cossacks were marching on Tsaritsyn, on the Volga, with the aim of dividing South Russia from the north and depriving the north of bread. He added:
 "The Provisional Government has precise information that the Germans are organizing an expedition in Fin land"

The American Face.
(New York Tribune,O


 When the first American soldiers marched down Piccadilly few weeks ago there were cheers and, for Brit ain, great enthusiasm. There was ing description Of our men In the Manchester Guardian shows:
 The chief thing that struck you was their faces. They looked grim and set. and however loud the cheer ing by the way and however racy the London greetings, there was never smile to be seen. The Americans seemed to be tremendously conscious of being on show-no different from the British soldier on a march -out,
 who always gives the crowd as good
 a he gets in the way of repartee and
 never allows himself to be betrayed
 into solemnity.
 This unyielding appearance seemed
 especially to impress the volatile
 French and Belgian soldiers among the spectators. Every one said they looked like ess-these mon with set, rather hard faces strong -jawed
 and close-lipped.
 Americans do look tremendously conscious. William James stated the same idea when he reproved us for showing too much of our emo- tions in our faces. It may be a fine psychological question whether we are really any more conscious than the more sophisticated Britisher. who has learned to conceal his em motions-- to be consciously unconscious. But to the eye there can be no question 1 of our national restlessness under scrutiny, our inability to forget our | selves.
 The grim look, the set, rather hard faces strong-Jawed and close-lipped these items, too, show clear obser- vation. And they suggest an Amer 1 ican characteristic that goes some | distance to explain the self-conscious- ness That is our national eager ] ness and keenness, a com binatiOn of fresh, unsatisfied interest in the world, with endless will to see the thing through The quality was conspicu- ous on Fifth avenue when our armies, present and prospective, marched forth to camp. It is probably our best and most characteristic national gift.

POTS AND PANS.

When the housewives of the nation emerge from this war they will have almost attained perfection. They will have, at least, learned how to elimin- ate waste. What with the canning and pickeling and preserving and other with the pots and pans.
 Save your pots and pans' is the latest cry from Washington. It seems that the officials of the national gov tain manufacturers of these wares that unless the women of the nation have a heart,' there will be a short age of cooking utensils for the boys in the trenches.
 To this end some thirty leading manufacturers of kitchen ware have issued bulletin to housewives asking them, in the name of all that is good and conservative. to take extreme care in handling articles of galvanized, enamelled, and tinware. This because the demand for goods made out of steel has caused a shortage in the l market and particularly in those ar ticles destined for use in the kitchen. | The mess tents and kitchens of the | various army cantonments will suffer 1 unless the women folk of the land go ] easy with what pots and pans they l now have.
 1 In order that the housewife may know just what to do in this latest
 emergency. she is advised not to heat 1 foods in 8 pan without water: not to
 use too course securing powders; not
 to scrape pots and pans with sharp l knives, but to soak them instead; and ! to use soap and water wherever pos l sible. These things followed, the 1 housewives will not only save the pots 1 and pans, but will come out of the | campaign for thrift with better pre- served hands. It seems that soap and
 water is the best possible cleanser for the pots and pans and Is also easier 1 on the human skin. Now is the time
 to get in line, even with the pots and
 pans.
