PRINCESS MARTINI
 A DASHING WIDOW

Today for the last time Julian FL tinge will be shown in his great suc- cess, "The Widows Might" This is a fascination story written especially for MT. Eltinge by Marion Fairfax and he is again given the opportunity to display his famous wardrobe of feminine flnery and his talents as a female impersonator. Many of the outdoor scenes were "shot'' in beauti- ful Pasadena, California, and it is said that the gowns worn by the star excel in gOrgeOusness and style even those in his previous productions. How he is obliged to disguise him. self as woman in order to entrap a crook who is trying to steal his farm, and how he finally wins out against all sorts of odds, makes a thrilling and entirely humorous picture which is well worth the seeing. The vaude- vile bill is certainy one of the most amusing as well as one of the best that the Lyceum has yet shown. Roy La Pearl the Aerialist is simply a roar, and Dutiel and Covey take the house by storm, while Ruth Goodwin shows all what fine singing is like.
 Sunday the Lyceum will have it's usual double feature program with the concert by the orchestra. There will be Ethel Clayton, New Britain's favorite in a splendid up to date pie ture, "The Man Hunt, also the Zieg- field Folly beauty, Olive Thomas, in picture that is full of action from start to finish, "Broadway Arizona" If you care to spend a pleasant Sun day evening go to the Lyceum and en- joy a fine show in a cool theater

This picture will prove to you that if you impersonate greatness you will become great; if you impersonate loveliness you will become lovely, and that if you inn personate youth you will become young. Surely there is not a person

Most of us are using twenty per cent. of our capi- tai of personal power, the eighty per cent. lies dormant. Why have only twenty per cent. of our share of Life, Success, Harmony, and Happiness when we should have one hundred per cent? This picture will show you that at every turn in the road there is a sign reading: Wanted, Men and Women With Will PoWer.' Go early Monday as the $. R. o. sign may go up early and it is promised that all will return home convinced that there are few productions which offer such rare amusement and food for thought.

Do you wear relevant clothes? The other night, at a gathering Of young women in their best bibs and fuckers, I asked the woman beside me, woman of unusually discriminating taste (she is by vocation an interior decorator and by avocation one of the best dressed women l ever knew) whom she considered the best gowned woman in the room.
 She took leisurely stock of the many pretty gowns, glancing casually to left and right. The occasion was one of the major social events in the life of the guests, and was sure to bring out the prettiest frocks in their wardrobes. Indeed many had new gowns for the occasion. To my sur prise, the woman beside me indicated a woman in a rather simple black evening gown two tables from ours.
 "Why, she's had that gown two years," said the woman on the other side who had been listening in on the line after she discovered the all- absorbing topic we were talking of. It Made Her Eyes Look Large and
 Black.
 The interior decorator smiled and held out her hands in a gesture equl- yalent to a Frenchmans What Wih you?'' What of it?" she said, That gown is of lovely material; it is cut on fine, simple lines and, above all, it is relevant to the personality and appearance of the woman who IS wearing it. I don't know of anything that could bring out the beautiful white pallor of her face and make her eyes look so big and black as that black velvet does. And that deep V-neck is perfect for her. The trouble with so many Of these dresses" she indicated them by let ting her eyes rest briefly upon two of the most striking and expensive gowns, lis that they are totally 1r-

Relevant Clothes

relevant. If either one of them had been on just the right woman should have called her the best dressed woman; but to my mind there isn't a single gown so hand some in itself and at the same time so perfectly relevant, as that black velvet"
 She Was That Sort of B Woman. ,'
 At that moment someone across the table called to the interior deco rator to ask her a question and con versation passed to other topics, but I saw the woman who had listened in on the line looking down at her gown thoughtfully. She was evident ly questioning whether it were rele- want or not. I'm sure she decided it was She was that sort of a wOm" an.
 Of course, relevancy in gowning is not a new ideal But I think we do not need to be constantly reminded of it's importance.
 Also of it's feasibility.
 Almost Anyone Can Be Relevantly
 Gowned.
 We cannot all be expensive1S gowned or gowned in the latest fash ion, but anyone who will cultivate taste and discrimination and self knowledge can be relevantly gowned. Whether she chooses to exercise her faculty of selection in picking out, from the infinite variety of ready made gowns offered her, those which harmonize with her type and figure and coloring (and also her purse), or whether she creates, or has her dress maker create, the relevant gown out of the profusion of good patterns and beautiful colors found in even the least expensive materials.

If you keep chickens, have scrap pan and into it put leftover scraps Ca chicken will eat anything but orange peeD.
 After fruit is safely in the jars the latter should be turned upside down and if any juice leaks out the covers should be frightened.
 When preparing the baby's bath try the water by putting your elbow in it. If the water does not burn the elbow it will be the right temperature for baby.

Why The Timidity /?

Tacoma community leaders by the score have
taken occasion to compliment The Times on its
stand for change in the day off" plan at Camp
Lewis, change whereby the soldiers may be re-
leased for recreation in groups various days OF
the week instead Of all being turned loose together
on Saturdays only.
Oddly enough, however, some of these city lead
els, while applauding the idea and urging that
everything be done to get it into effect, yet UNI
willing to urge it publicly.
They fear to incur the displeasule of the present
Camp Lewis command or seem to imagine that
somebody will accuse them of lack of patriotism or
of fighting the army if they express their con-
,victions
In taking this attitude they are simply falling
back into a mental habit that for years worked to
Tacoma's detrimcnt-the fear that if we assert our
rights we are going to hurt somebody's feelings
somewhere
The Times has urged the change for the incoming
DIVISION not for the 91st, which, it is announced, is
soon to leave here. We finding fault with
Gen. Greene or his staff We simply are urging
that when a new commander is sent here that the
advantages of different system be pointed out to
him.
If he has good reason to believe the present Sat
urday only plan is better, The Times and Tacomans
generally would back him in perpetuating it. But
up to the present no one has made public any rea-
son to show that it is better
The Times believes firmly that the system is
working downright hardship on the men at camp,
and we know very well that it is unfair to Tacoma.

MhS. TRENT BREWS TROUBLE
DO you know. Margie," said
Mollie to me yesterday, that
have learned great truth since
Mr.. Trent died and / have had to
be SO much with mother?"
well, my dear" I said lightly,
ut is pretty stupid child that
cannot learn from its own moth
err"
Mollie looked little disturbed
and then she continued valiantly,
We'll, what l have learned, Mar
gle, from mine is that woman
must have something more than
chastity and great respect for
social traditions and conventions
to be of any particular use in this
day of modern living.
Don't look shocked, my dear
Margie, because you know l am
speaking the truth.
Mother is not of the slightest
use to herself or to anyone else
and she at times drives me almost
to madness. She never fails to
commiserate Chad on the afflic-
ton of our boy. She is always
bemoaning the fact that there are
some ills that even money cannot
cure.
"She exasperates Chad so much
that I know he would like to
murder her, but what can either
of us do? She is in the eyes of the
world a poor old woman who has
lost loving husband and to
whom for that reason, il no 9TH
er, her children should be doubly
kind.
Now, Margie. I really cannot
see why anyone should have to be
kind to the aged just because they
are old.
Mother has plenty of money,
but tell you she is making it hot
for poor old Jim Edie.
"If she calls him up once, I'll
wager she calls him up a dozen
times a day.
About half the time his secre-
tary says he is out or very busy.
Yesterday said to her.. Mother,
uoh you Tcdillc tHdL YOU Ill uSt
surely abide by the letter of the
will Mr.. Trent made
Il cannot understand why he
made it, she moaned. Why he
always gave me all the money l
asked
But did you ask him to sell
United States bonds and put the
money into wildcat mining
proposition as I heard you COM
mand Jim to do yesterday?
No, because l had the ut
most faith in Mr.. Trent, she an
swered, and l do not trust Jim
Edie. What does he know about
business? Why that man who
talked to me about that mining
operation-such a sweet young
man, my dear, and so deferential
said that the time had come
when women should be allowed
to take care OF their own prop
erty, and he said in the sweetest
way possible that while l did not

as old as Dick, yet he had found
that most women Of my maturity
of thought must have better
judgment than my own son or
any of his so-called friends
"'"Of course" he continued,
81 am not intimating, in the
slightest way, anything against
Mr.. Edie, but you will coneede
that it looks rather queer that
he would not even see me on this
investment. Any up-tO-date BUSH

much money for clients as Mr.,

for Mrs. Waverly, should at least

asked Mollie. What are we 60
ing to do with her. Every man
who can get hold of her and flat
ter her a little will make us all
trouble"
And she is over co." was my
comment.
Eyes said Mollie, with a
sigh, "and l don't believe she ever
did a meritorious act in heI
life."
"My dear child, she bore you
and Dick" I said.

not SO sure that Dick and l will
in any way compensate for all the
terrible things she has DONE"
What do you mean, my DEAR?
, I asked anxiously. l knew thai
something had made her more
than usually unhappy with hel
mother.
"Well, you see that yesterday
she told Chad that he had ruined
my life; that I had done nothing
with my wonderful literary tai
ents since he married me, and that
1t was all his fault the baby was
born blind. Poor Chad. Margie
I am afraid for his reason now
and I have got to the point where
I could hardly dare leave then

tears and chung to me, her body
shaken with sobs.

perfume or stationery.

don't know which way to turn

birth to my baby next month.

l am almost crazy worrying
about 1t. l carry 500 life in
surance. Is there any way OF
borrowing money on that? Then
l can put my head on my pill

A DISTRACTED MOTHER.
Don't you think your life is
worth more than $2J? And how
about the baby's life? Why not
reconsider that impulse to COM
NIT suicide for so small u sum?
Surely you cannot hold yourself
and your child SO cheap.
Now as to that husband: II
he is che kind of man who
will leave you for the reason
| given, then he should certainly
be given the opportunity to depart
at once. However, that is o phil
Osophy rather too liberal for
general acceptance. Some wO-
men never look upon wifehood
rs anything except "slavery" al
tho they would resent the word.
They fear their husbands, but ac.
cept the condition as normal. And
it is quite impossible to educate
them out of that state of mind.
Fortunately the law takes good
care of women In some ways, and
il makes il a penal Offense for
husband to leave a wife who is
to be q mother.
As to the question Of borrow
ing, you can perhaps get q loan
on your policy from the company
which issued it. But you should
be very careful not to borrow
from the collector who comes to-
your door. You should apply at
the local office Of the insurance
company.
Dear Miss Grey have
been receiving the attentions of
a young man about two years
now. I have half, way prom

one thing gives me considerable
worry. He has never given me
anything for birthday or Christ
mas till this year. When he
saw l had gift for him he
got me one, and just recently
he has sent me a dozen carna-
tions for my birthday. They

ciate them, yet | feel sighted.

U.swpge'r. or AcRicurURe HOWTOa R G ASPARAGUS. D

This crop is one of the most endur- Ing and satisfactory vegetables. It can be grown on almost any we'll drained soil, but will do best on a deep sandy loam. There is little possibil- ity of having the ground too rich, and liberal applications of partly routed barnyard manure should be made be- fore the plants are set. The seeds of asparagus may be sown during the spring in rows where the plants are to remain, and the seedlings thinned to stand II feet apart in rows.
 It Is usually more satisfactory to purchase two-year-old roots, as con- siderable time is saved In this way. As the asparagus bed Is a permanent feature of the garden, It should be To- cated accordingly. Before setting the plants the soil should be loosened very deeply, either by subsoil blowing or by deep spading. It is q good plan to re- move the top soil and spade manure Into the subsoil to depth of II or 16 inches. The plants may be set in rows for horse cultivation or In beds. If in rows they should be set II inches apart, with the rows 312 feet apart. If in beds one foot apart each way is the proper distance to set the plants. In setting the plants the crowns should be covered 4 or , inches deep.
 In the North the plants should re- ceive a mulch of or 5 inches of ma nure in winter. In the South the mulch is not necessary, but the plants should receive coat of manure or an application of fertilizer, preferably in autumn.
 No shoots should be removed during the first year the plants are set in the permanent bed, and the period of cut ting should be short during the second year.

RADtSHES.

The radish is quite hardy and may be grown throughout the winter In the middle section of the United States. In many portions of the South 1t Is pos sible to grow 1t In the open ground throughout the winter. For the home garden the seed should be sown in the open ground about the time of the last Killing frost. The seed should be sown In drills at a convenient distance for cultivation, usually about IS inches. To be of good quality. radishes must be grown quickly in rich soil, and be used as soon as of sufficient size. Sue eessive paintings should be made every few days until the weather becomes warm. They will not withstand hot weather and are suited to early spring and late autumn planting.
 There are autumn varieties of rad ishes which may be grown late in the season and stored for winter use the same as beets or turnips. A few of these will add variety to the winter supply of vegetables

kOHL-RABI.

The edible portion of the kohl-rabi is the thickened stem. It is closely re- lated to cabbage and eauliflower. It should be started in the hotbed or win dow box and set in the open ground about the time of the last frost. The method of planting and the cultivation is similar to that practiced for cab bage. It can be planted in the open at the same time. Early sowings are made, and if thinned to f to 6 inches apart the plants will soon grow to edible size under favorable weather conditions. This plant should receive much more consideration than usually Is given 1t. It is really poor mans cauliflower.
