Rl>E: lATL0VS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRIsOY

How Luck Aided William for Once. That last spiel fetched the Draper gal, William said with little rem- iniscent chucl<le. 1 had hard work to control my inn patience at the slowness of William $ story. Especially was I curious to hear the effect upon Grace Draper of the pseudo peddle.'s threat to tell Herr UnderwoodT of her secret OK. p'edition to Marvin, but l compelled myself to silenCe. Poor, half-foolish old William had entirely missed the meaning Of the reference to Harry Underwood, and I wished to keep him in ignorance as far as possible of the real meaning of the chase in whiclI' he had been hurt.
 Whoever the woman was he threatened to tell" continued Will liam, II guess the Draper gal don't want her to know nuthin' about her bcin' here. Sue turned on him like Q tiger.
 "'You wouldn'tI dare,' she says, brcathin' hard.
 Try me, FroWline, an see,' the man says, cool as a cowcumber. Come now he says, don't be fool. ish. Y keep a. civil tongue in yer head an I'll keep a quiet one in mine. But none of yer airs he says, fer they don't set well on me stum- mick"
 From what I had observed of Teu, tonic phraseology, as expressed in English, ] concluded that William was translating the mans expressions into his own rather picturesque vo- cabulary, and when he referred to i1, bot he was embroidering the conversa- ton to suit his own ideas. But I fejt confident that I could extract the ne- ccssary kernel of truth l needed from his narrative. "I'H Fix Her. "She folded her arms an looked at him." William resumed, and she says, I wish'et I was a man crbout five minnits. Y make mo fingers itch to claw yer face,' she says, but go on, tell yer d--d story in yer own way
 Tanks the man said, clicking his heels together, an bowin' low down. Hc was smilin' kinder mock :. in when he done it. but she want smilin,' and her fingers kep tWitchin, I wouldn't have cared to have 'cm near my neck.
 Then tn man begun to talk quiet ! like.

METRO STAR AT
 KEENEY'S THEATER

Viola Dana, the Metro star, comes into her own as the greatest of mod. ern screen artists in the part of "June' in ''Blue Jeans," the big seven-reol feature which is showing at Keeney's all this week "Blue Jeans' as a stage production was tremendous success. It made money time and again all over the country, and was known as the greatest re- beating play of it's time. Now it has been produced as a photoplay fea- ture that eclipses the best the stage has ever done. Blue Jeans'' is a regular country life story repletc with all the characters familiar to the farm and to the small suburban vil- lage. It carries with it the atmos- phere of David Harum and brings out the tones of the entire keyboard of human nature from the ridiculous to the sublime. Some of the big scenes in the picture occur in an old fashioned sawmill. These scenes were taken at ROslyn, Long Island This mill, built in 1869 is still in use by the original owners, who watched with great interest the taking of the scenes with Miss Dana as star Many people in this city have seen tie show, it having played here a num- Der of times on the legitimate stage. For today only, the final chapter of the "Who Is Number One?" serial is shown with Katherine Clifford as the star. This serial has mystifed the audience for the last few months and tomorrow the identity of Number One will be revealed. Several other comedies and dramas and some high class vaudeville acts furnish a mighty fine entertainment

MUICAL REVUE
 AT THE LYCEUM

There are two headliners on the 1vceum theater bill which starts to- dav. and which is better is hard to say. Both are features, each or which would be capable of heading 2 bic, time bill The motion picture feature. "Fields of Honor,' with Mae Marsh in the leading role is one that has, more than any other or her rroductions, set her name in the Hall of Fame forever. As for the Vaude- vile. From Browns Musical Revue" with five girls and a man tops the list.
 Mae Marsh delighted big audiences at the Lyceum last week in "The Cinderella Man and now she comes to the same theater in the plcturlzed version of Irwin s. Cobb's famous story of the war, "Fields of Honor.' Cohb was a war correspondent at the outbreak of hostilities and his story while dealing with the war IS not or the war itself.
 The musical revue on the other hand presents life in its lighter as- nect. A week ago last nght at Knitb,s Bronx theater this act topped inc list and showed it's heels to everything else on the plll. FlVe pretty girls and a man furnlSh d r1ot of fun. =,

 rupted, and whisking a small pencil and engagement book from the pocket where I always keep them handy, I made him repeat the ad- dress as I wrote it down.
 "Oh, Mis- Gramie, ye aint goin' to try to ketch that man, be ye?'' Will liam exclaimed. Hes Q devil. He'll kill ye sure. He imagines he's got some grudge again ye."
 Don't worry, William," I said, 1T won't have to do anything about it myself But you have done me a great service in overhearing that ad-

 "Thar hain't much to tell about that" William returned modeStly.

for which so many hearts are indeed "weary tonight" has been earned.
 I doubt if "a scrap of paper will ever be forgotten. Certainly not while one human being who has reached the age of reason when that classic was uttered, is alive. I won- der if four words ever did more harm and aroused more feeling against the cause they were supposed to champion than those. How Many of These Words Will Get
 Into the Dictionary. I fancy "camoufage," that much abused word, has also come to stay and will take a new lease of life once we have given it a good long rest
 "Slacker' may get into the dic- tionary, but I am not sure that 1t will ever be used again should oc- casion (Heaven forhid) arise. The reason I doubt this is that there was a different word for that sort of thing ir. the Civil war. Does anyone, per chance remember 'skecdaddler" wonder if any of the marvellous verbs and nouns and adjectives that have been concocted out of the name "Hoover'' will by any chance get into the dictionary. AS TOT instance III this poetic bit:
 "If we would the force
 Of democracy prove
 And help win the war
 We must all of us hoove."
 It seems most unlikely And yet look at such words as "Gerrymand- erm," "Marconigram," etc, in each of which, the name Of some man has been immortalized.
 One never can tell.
