'KS For zheaterSoery and Women ReaderS
ATL0NS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

l could hardly believe my ears. Lil- Han Underwood of all persons, depre- eating her own judgment in dress for fear of the criticism of a woman from an obscure mountain town, 1 knew that she did not even for near rela- tives believe in mourning costumes, yet here she was worrying because she had no black gown to wear for the Worn-out shell of a, woman not a kins- woman of her own, whose last days she had made easy.
 ''What nOnsense!" I exclaimed, al most but not quite forgetting to pitch my voice low on account of Marion. Here, let me select one"
 l pushed her unCeremoniously aside and took down d gown which I had seen Lillian frequently wear when at work upon her illustrating, although, of course she covered it with a smock It was a simple little affair of dark blue linen with embroidered collar and cuffs, and it fitted Lillian's beauti- full figure perfectly.
 'There!" I said, coming out of the closet, "Iet me get you into this. Or, wait do your face first"
 Don't use that expression, Madge," she said as she turned to her dressing table. Tt always makes me shlVer.
 \ Spiritual Crucifixion.
 As she busted herself with cold cream and rice powder, the simple refresh ening toilet rite which so many dainty women use. my thoughts went back to the time which had made her shiver," the time when doing her face meant covering it's surface with a mask of rouge and liquid preparations turning it into the ghaStly traVeSty of youth, upon which Harry Underwood insist ed
 What a spiritual CruCifiXion her life with Harry Underwood had been! And now, when his desertion of her, his entanglement with Grace Draper, had 1 freed her from every moral obligation l toward him the legal tie of marriage l still chained her-made hopeless the happiness that might have been hers with Robert Savarin.
 "Counting on Rohcrt.' ! As I fastened the gown at her waist 1 and shoulders my own fingers tren- l bled with sheer pity for the grayness ] of the future stretching before my 1 brave friend. I was glad that she l couldn't see my face. But l had not l counted upon the clairvoyant intuition | of her.
 Dear child!" she said softly, put | ting up her n0nd 10 nllne. Don
 waste any time worrying about me. l | have my baby and my work. l haven't t | time to be unhappy. Put everything ] else out of your mind and set it to the problem of how best to manage Mar ion when she wakes'
 You will have to distort the truth l of course,' I replied promptly. Tell | her you have had to take her grand l mother to see another physician or
 som ething of that sort. And I would
 give her no time to think Have
 everything heady so that when you
 want to waken her you can tell her of MT. Savarin's coming, and then simply
 keep her in gale of action until she
 has started. ] think you can count on ] Mir. Sayarin for the rest
 Lillian didn't answer, but I caught
 q glimpse of her face as she went
 swiftly and noiselessly from chiffonier
 to closet getting Marion's wardrobe I together, and it's rapt expression told
 me that she was indeed "Counting on ! Robert SaNarin.'

 A plain white blouse is greatly inn proved if a bow of black be tied at the front.

It is stated on good authority that Zanzibar is the source of over % per cent Of the worlds supply of cloves, the balance being furnished by the Molucca islands of the Dutch East Indies and by the French island of Madagascar.

New Madge Kennedy Hit,
"Our Little Wife,, Here
Goldwyn Star Has Gay Role in Avery
Hopwood's Story of Laughter and
Thrills at Liberty Theater

Madge Kennedy, Goldwyn star, who
has had such remarkable success in
motion picture adaptations of Broad
way stage plays, will follow her APP
pearance in "Baby Mine" and "Near-
iy Married. with "Our Little Wife, "
at the Liberty theater beginning to-
day.
Miss Kennedy, in the space of few
months, has become one of the great
est screen favoritcs in America. Her
eyes, her smile, her naive manner,
have captivated the nation, and she
already may boast of a tremendous
following everywhere.
In "Our Little Wife" Miss Kenne-
dy finds another part that fits her pc.
culiar capabilities like glove. The
heroine of the story is the same in
nocent, demure little GID that the star
portrays so well, provoking alternate
laughter and tears by her amusing and
pathetic changes of appeal.
The production irSrOduces new au
thor to the Goldwyh constellation, but
one already famous in the world OF
the speaking theater. Avery Hopwood
also wrote "Fair and Warmer" and

tw0 and a half million men in the pres

Duplicating this offensive effort.
l'he allies, however, with their new
unity of command and superiority in
1.csh reserves, coupled with the inabil-
isy Of the Germans again 10 effect a
surprise, hold the trump card.
The fatal consumption Of German ef-
fectiveness is indicated by the fact that
wl.ie the enemy began March 81 with
halj a million men in the front line,
they have been obliged since to engage
five times That number.
The allies have identified on the west
front 206 divisions (2,472,00 men), out
OF tho Germans entire total of 242, in
ciLding those on other fronts. To date,
the Germans have engaged l40 separate

Because United States Senator
Charles L. MeNary has made gsOd
he should be nominated to succeed
himself in the republican primary, May
nth.
From the day he became senator he
has loyalty champiOned the prOsecu-
tion of the war, and during his term
of office has accomplished more for
Oregon than any other member in con
greSs in a like period.
Among his colleagues he is known as
the man on the job,' and during the
present war crisis Oregon should con,
slider itself fortunate in having an OPP
portunity to return him and not be com
PEELED to send to Washington new,
unframed man.
Believing that the supreme obiga-
tion he owes his country is to help
win the war, Senator MeNary, instead
of returning to his state to conduct
political campaign, is at his post in
Washington working for Oregon and
aiding in the prosecution of the war
Always since entering the senate he
has been friend of our soldiers and
sailors and has introduced legislation
giving them preferential homestead
rights and repeatedly championed their
cause when their welfare was in jeop-
ardy.
Championing the cause of the Oregon
farmers, Senator MeNary procured for
them a primary wheat market, saving
thereby several million dollars to the
wheatgrowers of the northwest.
Realizing the present food control
law fails to fix prices for many com
modities, Senator McNary has introduc
ed, and is laboring for the passage of
bill, striking at profiteering and fix
ing prices on the necessalies of life.
| Senator MeNary has procured:
Government contracts for the first
time in the state s history for Oregon
products, such as prunes dehydrated
potatoes and vegetables in large guam
titles.
Large government contracts for ar
my clothing, shipbuilding yards, and
