 Arnold Bennett has another nams for the fuddyduddyist He calls him the 'complete fusser." Perhaps you read his essay on the subject. He tells of woman who is miserable all through her weekend at a lovely country house because she has for gotten to bring her special brand o1 cigarettes and can't get hold of any, lie declares that, blindfolded the woman would probably net have known that brand from a similar one, but that she has made fetish of the notion that she must have just that and has gotten herself into 8 mental state where her peace of mind depends upon it.
 Multiplying the Requisites for Peace
 of Mind.
 That's what the complete fussef or the fuddyduddyist is always doing multiplying the trivial things on which his peace of mind depends. And the more numerous the small things on which your peace of mind depends,- well, the rest is obvious.
 The time to nip a fuddyduddyism is the traditional season for all nippiBg.

June Caprice, the "Sunshint Girl' day only in her newest picture, Blue Eyed Nary
 Miss Caprice gives an excellent per- formance in "Blue-Eyed Mary. This young lady, who has been a star now put two years, seems to grow better all the time. Her dramatic ability was never shown to better effect than in "Blue-Eyed Mary She carries the play along with both tears and humor and of course brings it to d happy conclusion. The play is we'll staged and the supporting cast does excellent work. The comedy end of the bill is we'll taken care of with . screaming Alice Howell Comedy, en- titled Whats the Matter With F'ath- er,' and a funny Lyons Moran Com edy.
 A feature of more than an ordinary note is to be presented at FoXs to- morrow evening only, when William F'arnum in an 1918 version of Hall Gaines great novel, The Bondman", will be the attraction. "The Bond man is a story of love, hate, and Iio1hctl SedC1lllCS, ttllu hinges Oll Ja- sons (William Farnum) VOW to wreck vengeance on his father for abandoning his mother. But his faith CT dies and Jason turns his desire for revenge against Sunlocks. his fathers son by another wife. Both Sunlocks and Jason are in love with Greeba, daughter of the Governor of the Isle of Man. Sunlocks and Jason go to Iceland and are imprisoned. Jason not knowing Sunlocks saves his ha1f- brother from death in the mines. Ja- son is freed, but Sunlocks is con- demned to death. Greeba pleads for Sunlocks life and Jason sacrifices himself by taking Sunlocks place and dying for him. In this 1918 version of Hall Cainc'G; ilnmort novel, ''Thc Bondman'. William Farnum is ac knowledged by all the metropolitan critics as having done the best work of his noteworthy career, some of them even going as far as pronounc- ing it the equal of his undying char acterization of Jean Valjean in Les Misera bles.' Another feature at Fox's tomorrow evening only, is the latest Pathe' News with the latest photo scoop of the submarine inva- sion. These pictures were taken at a great risk to the photographer and are worthy of special mention Char lie Chaplin--this will provide enough comedy for all.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By AnEEE GARRISON

''The sick one, ma am; Mister Gra- hams mother

 My curiosity was aroused. What was there about this letter to make Lillian devote SO much time to ques- tioning poor old William about its re- ceipt? I saw that while her ears were evidently bent in attention to William $ answers, her eyes were busy searching the superscription of the envelope In her hand.
 The envelope was a square one, of a texture, color and shape acceptable to any woman of good breeding. It was distinctively the kind of an enve- lope woman would use, and I couldn't help wondering who was the author of the epistle which was caus- 1 ing Lillian so much worried thought. I waited impatiently for William S answer. The old chap was slow in replying, evidently being anxious to get his reply accurate in every par ticular for Lillian's critical ears. '"The old lady sent Katie for me- William said at last. Katie come out to me in an. awful hurry, and said the old lady wanted me to get up to her room and down again before that other old dew please excuse me, Missis--" William gasped
 Before her cousin came back, IS that it?' Lillian asked encouragingly.
 'If Agatha"
 "Yes, ma'am; yes, ma am: before her cousin came back" William beamed with reassurance. Seems she didn't want t'other one to know about the mail Katie had been gettin' it every day and takin' it straight to the old lady, and I guess t'other one was pretty mad about it.
 ''So I hurries up as fast as l can, an the old lady she roots around under the sheet and brings up this package.
 Don't you let nobody see any of this till you get up to Mis- Gramie ; she says, solemn like. 'Of course,' she says, if Mis- Underwood is there she can have it, but nobody else. An if Agatha asks you anything about it. tell her you don't know nothin'- see?''

As you grow older do you find that you grow more "F'uddyduddish'?
 A friend of mine declares that is the one thing he is afraid of in old age,-that he will let petty notions, small fixed habits, foolish little fears and antiquities. grow on him until he becomes what he characterizes by that highly expressive word.
 As people get older,' he said, ''their bodily muscles are likely to get stiff and so are the muscles of their minds. Fudddyduddyism is the rheu- matism of the mind"
 Then, at the request of one of his listeners he went on to give us a con- crete example.
 He Had to Sit in Certain Seat.
 Well. l found myself getting a habit of sitting in a, certain seat in the trolley car every morning. The third from the front on the left hand side. I told other people about it and began to take quite a pride in the fact that l was upset if it was taken, and then one morning I came to and I said to myself Tommyrot.' You're making yourself an old man at forty by deliberately coddling such fool notions. Don't you ever sit in that seat again. Or better still, don't notice what seat you are sitting in "
 Fired by this example the rest of us took stock of some of our fuddy- duddVismS
 One of mine is that I cant write a word unless l have certain kind of a pencil.
