A Bare Sense of Courtesy

Happy is the sense of humor of the
sailor. Several times each week we
are inspected for indications of meas
les or scarlet fever. AS the first sign
is rash on the stomach, it is here that
we are inspected. There is cry by
whoever first sees the visiting surgeon
of Attention.; then comes the word,
"Belly inspection" and we fall into
line, and with our blouses and shirts
pulled up above our breaches march
past the doctor. 1t was Texan who,
with fine disregard for the majesty
of our gold-striped surgeon, secured
from the clothing depot paper stem
Gil, such as we use to mark our cloth
ing, and with black paint lettered his
bare stomach with "Good morning,
doctor" There are times when even
an officer laughs.

AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

With the approach of cold weather, American soldiers in France and other countries will find it more difficult to keep physically comfortable unless the women of America. the "Girls Behind the Guns" supply them with warm clothing that is not distributed by the quartermaster's department of the army. Here is where the Red Cross finds it's gigantic role; here is where the American women fiid their duty; here is where great work of mercy can be performed.
 Summer vacations are needed. All the dfstra ctiUns and attractions of the warm season have now passed into history The shore has surrendered to the city. The mountains and coun- try have relapsed into solitude. Most women have had their hours of play, and now stern work beckonS 10 them to resume their task Of preparing comforts for the boys that are bleed ing and dying for them rin foreign lands.
 Activities at Red Cross Headquarters have languished during the summer, only a few stout hearts remaining at their posts and devoting their hours to the relief of Uncle Sam's fighting men. The threads must be picked up where they were laid down and the call of the needle sounds throughout the land.
 New Britain is 5000 pairs of socks under the quota which should have { been shipped on September i. There are many refugee garments, cut out, waiting for people to call for them at headquarters on Court street. Sur gical dressings work will be resumed Monday on the old winter schedule. Thousands of cotton pads are to be furnished by October 1. There will

REVELATIONS
 OF A WIFE
What Lillian Planned and How Madgc's Troubled Thoughts
 Met an AnnOunCcmCnt.

You see," Lillian explained in an- sWer to my glance of startled inquiry, this particular business in which you are involved is coming to a crisis, and we must narrow the field of ac- ton to one place. For many reasons l prefer that place to be your home in Marvin.
 "One reason is that Harry believes you to be here, and in order to pro tect you he will try to make Draper and her gang believe that you have left That will send the whole pack to Marvin, and I believe if we make no mistake in setting the snare we can bag the whole lot there.'
 I couldn't repress a shiVer. There was a rentlessness in Lillian's tone that bOded ill for any member of the pack" of which she spoke. ] realized ---knew she must also-that Harry Underwood would doubtless share the fate of the rest of the gang, and the realization made me feel ill on Lil- lian's account as well as, on my own.
 "Harry's demand for that paper" went on Lillian, " proves conclusiveIy that the specific object of Draper and her gang is the recovery of that document which your father sent to Allen Drake, and which Drake re- turned to you after deciphering it. l have long suspected it. Now I have the proof and the knowledge of their object makes it possible for me to figure out their probable course of action and to anticipate their move ments."
 'T Hope They VIII Break In."
 She paused and there was that in her manner which emboldened me to ask question, something I rarely do when Lillian is outlining a plan:
 What will you do with Betty if you close this house?"
 Give her a vacation with pay" Lillian returned promptly. she de- serves one. and with good luck it won't be closed long"
 Aren't you afraid the enemy agents will get in and ransack the place while it's closed?" 1 ventured.
 Lillian smiled
 Not that they will ransac1 the place." she said significantly. "I hope they will break in, for they will find a warm and unexpected welcome" "
 "Ohr I exclaimed, enlightened. You expect to have service agents guarding the place while it's ostensibly closed!'
 Exactly" returned Lillian, rising. And now I must get busy pronto. l must send guards to the Marvin house who will watch the place un- known to your mother-in-1aw until I can get there. It will never do to have her frightened out of her senses.

p FOX'S THEATEIs.

Tonight will oe the last opportunity to see the triple features at FoN's Theater, Four big vaudeville acts, Charlie Chaplin in Triple Trouble" and "Kultur" with Gladys Brockwell and an all star cast. These ttractions have proven very popular and have been up to the customary Fox stand ard
 For tomorrow evening Manager Me Donald has arranged an attractive double feature program; Virginia Pearson, the faVorite Fox Star in Queen of Hearts,, and Mrs. Vernon Castle in her latest Pathe Drama, en- titled '"The Girl from Bohemia, with several short comedies and educa- tional subjects. This double program in addition to the splendid musical of fering rendered by Fox's orchestra and organ together, will make Fox's Theater the mecca of Sunday night amusement seekers.
 In Queen of Hearts" Virginia Pearson has an absorbing, baffling de- tective story that keeps you in anx- ious uncertainty. This great photoplay involves the mysterious death of an aged man and the tracking down of the crlmlnal by the dead man daugh- ter. In carrying out her solemn pledge this charming woman, played by Virginia Pearson, undergoes as many perils and exhibits as high @ de- gree of detective skill, as any of her famous detective predecessors. "In Queen of Hearts, Miss Pearson has one of the most exciting and trying parts she has ever played.
 In '"The Girl from Bohemia" Irene Castle has one of the best pictures of her career. For irtricacy of plot, rapidity of action and variety of emo tions this play surpasses all previous productions in which this popular star has appeared. Mrs. Castle is one of the screens most talented and pop ular stars, and has a large following in New Britain, so her return to Fox S Sunday evening will be welcomed by many.

 Ono Woman's Sacrifice.
 None of the stories of Self-SaCrifiCs on the part of Belgian women that have come to light since the beginning of the war is more touching than that concerning a Miss Knoppe which has just reached this country from the headquarters of the American Red Cross in Belgium. Miss Knoppe is a fine looking, sturdy type of peasant girl. who has been nursing the sol diers for four years. On many occa- siOns in that trying period she has shown rare courage. She was wounded at Antwerp and as a result of the bravery displayed on that occa- sion carries the decoration of the "Order of Leopold"
 Recently 5000 Belgian refugees reached the town where Miss Knoppe has been working The need of many of the children for food was so i'm perative that the patriotic woman drew $1S0 from the bank, her Iife's savings, and spent the money to re- Iieve their hunger. It developed later that she was to have been married shortly to an orderly in the hospital to which she is attached and that she had saved the money for .her we'd 1ine The StOrty of bot crreai sacrifice has been going the rounds . in Belgium and takes rank with the many inspiring incidents of the war.

 \ Surprising Phone Call.
 Something in her tone struck me
 0ueerly, gave nc the impression that Lillian had a theory of her own about
 our bizarre, melodramatic neighbors
 which didn't exactly coincide with
 that of my mother-in-laW.
 She walked to the door and then
 turned quickly toward me.
 This won't interfere with your lit
 tie visit with Edith Fairfax" she
 said. q cannot possibly make ar
 engagements to go to Marvin for two
 days, so our luncheon to the two girls
 can go on just the same. I will tell
 Betty about it now, and then it will
 be off my mind.''
 I couldn't help the mental wish that
 I were equally as fortunate as the
 door closed behind her. Lillian could
 dismiss the coming of the guests once
 the question of their culinary enter
 tainment was settled. But the very thought of meeting, again the
 girl about whose friendship with
 Dicky I had such gloomy, sinister
 forebodings unnerved me.
 Why had I arranged this interview? 1 asked With bitter distaste for the task l had impetuously set for my self. Far better. much more compat- ihic with my dignity not to have yielded to 1ny wild surmises concern ing the girl, not to have planned to meet her with the mad hope of ascer- taintng the truth concerning my hus- bands interest in her
 Retrospection or introspcction was vain now. however. I was committed to the interview which Lillans quick
 tact had converted into a luncheon for four. But my brain Whirled with the conflicting emotions which the prospect of seeing the pretty little art student awakened. Rage. jealousy, shame at my own littleness in harbor- ing the unworthy emotions, all had their will with me.
 One thing stood out clear and dis tinct above the storm of swirling thoughts. The old, passionate, wild ] adoration l had experienced for Dicly Was still mine--unaltered, augmented if anything by this wild notion I had taken connecting Dickys unexp1aihed ed absence with Edith Fairfax. inc feSlilzdtlOn or thlS Tn cullOus fashion did much to restore me a ! measure of the self-respect which l ] had lost or at least mislaid in the { days following Dickys departure ! the days made memorable by my en- 1 counter with the gang of conspira- i tors st tlrc cano uflaged windmill l wireless.
 My cheeks flushed with shame at l the remembrance that there had been 1 hours when I had Questioned the 1 strength Of my own contugai feeling. 1 And as if the thought had been a psychic summons from my soul to an- 1 others, I heard tho tin1zle of the tell 1 ephone bell, followed by 1iliian's ap- pearanc6 in the doorway.
 Capt. Hugh GrantIand is on the phone, Madge," she said graNely.
