THE BEAUTIES OF AN AUTO
 TRIP

Dear Social Corner Sisters AL though I am away from Connecticut, spending holiday in Massachusetts, 1 often talk about the good times we all have had together at various picnics.
 These picnics-or social good times appeal to me so much, the way each Sister does her part as hostess, espe- cially so when there happens to be 6 full turnout of Sisters and guests. r It's not what we get, but the way it is given; to quote an old proverh my mother taught me when little girl;
 Tt may be only a handshake
 It may be only smile.
 But if it's going to make life blessed
 Surely it's worth the while"
 will give you little idea of my automobile trip up to Springfield. Mass. where I am now visiting. Tn

What d hard thing it is to know
just how to bear oneself toward a
friend or acquaintance who has suf-
fcred some deep trouble.
Not long ago I was staying in the
house with a woman who had son
at the front. Word came to her that
the son was wounded. She was n
woman whom l knew only slightly,
but in the inevitable intimacy of a
boarding house, we met frequently at
the table, on the stairs, in the living
room.
Not to say a word of sympathy
seemed brutal.
Intrusions Are Sometime the More
Cruel.
On the other hand, to intrude Oh
her grief. even with words OF the
most sincere sympathy, might be
more cruel if she were the kind of
nature that cannot bear to have its
wounds touched.
And there are q great many such
natures.
People of the opposite tempera-
nlent cannot understand them.
[ once knew very brave, fine
woman who tried to look at the loss
Of her husband in the only logical
way in which Christianity can look
1T such a loss (Do you remember
that verse in John: IF ye loved me,
You would rejoice because l said 7
40 unto the Father"?)
Both for this reason, and also be-
rause She did not want to intrude
Der personal suffering on others, she
wore no black, went about smiling and
spoke in her ordinary tones and did
not change her manner of living in
any way.
She Wears Mourning i'm Face and
Voice.
Said Il neighbor, who is herself tho
sort of person who wears mourning
not only on her person. but in her
face and her voice and her whole
manner, II never did think Mrs. r.
cared great deal for her husband,
and she has certainly proved it by
the way she's acted since he died
And when I tried to tell her how
sorry I was, she simply shut me right
up-thanked me, of course, but
showed me she didn't want me to say

SAVAGE COMEDY AT
PARSONS FRIDAY

Henry w. SavaScs latest musical
comedy success '"TOOt-TOOti" an
hounced as a train Of mirth and mel
odN," comes to Parsons theater, Fri
day and Saturday, with q matinee on
Saturday. Like Captain Rupert
hughes merry farce, Excuse Me"
from which ''ToOt-Toot' was adapted,
much of the action takes place on u
trtnS-contincntal railroad train, on
winch the various passengers have
many humorous mishaps and adycn-
lures, including 4 hold-up in the
mountains. There is tho Young lieu-
tenant, called to duty somewhere in
FRANCE and his tcmpcramental fl
&nccc, disappointed in their efforts to
find preacher to tie the marriage
knot; the mismated couple. headed
for the consultations Of Reno; the
incognito minister and his demurc,
hut danCe-adoring bride, the Bun
cOmbes, pseudo dcvOtees of the art of
terpisChore, and other comcdy-creat-
ing characters, not forgetting the
Pullman car porter who is always
much in evidence in the vicinity of
the liberal tip.
The book for 'Toot-Toot!" is the
work of Edgar Allan Woolf. The
lyrics are by Bcrton Bradley, and
the musical numbers are by Jerome
Kern. The action OF the comedy is
not delayed by the incidental melo-
dies, and there are several novelties
in the way of dances, including
Greek dancing chorus, n new military
march-song, The Last Long Mile"
by Lieutenant Emil Brietcnfed, of
the 153rd Depot Brigade at Camp
Dix, with Il rousing soldier chorus.

MABEL NORMAND IN
THE FLOOR BELOW"

Mabel NOrmand, with her hundreds
OF local admirers still having fresh
in their memories, her wonderful sue
cess in "Dodging a Million,'' came
back to the Lyceum yesterday in her
newest and greatest picture, The
Floor Below" and scored q greater
hit than ever before. If her measure
Of success in the film world is gagged
by the way she is received in this
city on every appearance, then Ma
bel Normand is one of the greatest
if not the very greatest Coincidence
in the business.
1t seems as though Miss Normand'S
directors insist on giving her roles
where the sheer delightfulness of her
character and the real beauty of her
features and figure stand out. Always
she is forced to shine out through
unfavorable surroundings and shabby
clothing, but her character is sill
enc that appeals to the masses.
Miss NOrmand has the happy facul-
ty of smuggling into those stray cor
ners of her watchers hearts, and
working her way into the sympathies

PARIS, Sept. 30. Gen. Foch is conducting successfully and simultaneously five great bat ties, a feat unparalleled in history of warfare. Each battle is so timed that it places each army as a supporting unit for others, all of which form an indispensable part of the whole and all directed towards supreme effort to wear down the Germans.
 It is believed that the Germans will soon withdraw to Antwerp-Metz line. The Hinden- burg line is smashed in many places, and the irresistible advance of Allies threatens Lille and isolates Cambra and St. Quentin.
 The Germans are still fighting well.

LONDON, Sept. 3o.-The British have cut the Hindenburg line along an eight mile front and penetrated through it to a depth of three miles, in their flanking operations about St. Quentin.
 The German communications In this region are under such an in tense fire that it is impossible for them to get any number of men at the British, or to support their own columns, or out of the place con troIled by the barrage.
 The British are in no hurry to clear the situation around Cambrai They have the situation so well in hand that they can take their time and it may be three or four days before they actually decide to take the town.
 The German communications at Cambrai also are SO badly ruined that they cannot expect to get men or munitions in or out of the place The death toll taken by the British is unusually great.

GERMAN GAS NOT FEARED LONGER
 BY THE ALLIES
Scientists Have Devised Methods to Entirely Guard Against the
 Gas Attacks.

LONDON, Sept. 30.-The German gas no longer holds the terror of the earlier days, as the British masks provide practically complete protection.
 Scientists are so satisfied with the anti-gas measures that cases of gasS- ing are treated now as selfinflicted, unless the victim can establish his injury sustained through, no fault of his own. All such are regarded as selfinflicted wounds and so official ly reported on.
 The latest German gases are not outwardly unpleasant. with no i'm mediate effects, with the consequence that soldiers are tempted to disre gard warnings and delay in putting on their masks.
