LYCEUM THEATER.

One of the most surprising CllmaxeS
 ever seen on the stage is offered in
 "Common Clay" Gloves Kinkead'S s
 powerful drama of human frailty
 which the COrmican Players will pre-
 sent tonight and throughout the week,
 with matinees on Wednesday, Thurs
 day and Saturday, at the Lyceum
 theater. It occurs during the trial
 scene in the examining court, where the young heroine is accusing the de-
 generate who betrayed her. The
 startling and unexpected turn of af- fairs with which the scene culminates
 was one of the main features in making Common Clay" one of the most sensational and widely discussed plays of the day. A powerful lesson in an absorbing play, "Common Clay" is a drama that no playgoer can af- ford to miss.
 It was presented for one whole sea son in New York at the Republic theater, after which it enjoyed long engagements in Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago under the able manage ment of All. Woods, who has given the public such phenom menal successes as Potash and Perlmutter," ''Within the Law The Yellow Ticket,'' Eyes of Youth," Up in Mabel S Room" and Friendly Enemies."

MY HEART and MY HUSBAND ADELE GARRISON'S NEW PHASE OF
 Revelations of q Wife

'"The tradesneil's entrance Is d, the rear of the house." l sald 1ros'llS' ''Please report there.
 He didn't laugh, indeed, his lace held no hint of a smile, although tffefe was a glint of amusement Tn ms eyes, And he shook his head doletully as he looked at me.
 "I really thought better of you, Mrs. Graham" he said. That bromide has ceased to fizz.'
 q think it's age compares favorably with the remark that evoked it, l re- tOrted coolly.
 MT. Drake threw one hand outward and upward.
 Well scored!" he exclaimed, "and I am fairly hit Let's call it a truce and sit down in these two chairs for cosey chat Don't they just spell so- ciability and solid comfort?"
 Drakec's Retort.
 The chairs he indicated were drawn closely together, facing each other in such fashion that the faces of the per- sons seated in them would be very near each other. I recognized the arrangement in an instant as one of little Marions. She loves to put two
 
 climb into one and put her mother into the other for what she calls "a love snuggle."
 T fancy they would be fully as so- ciable and much more comfortable this way I answered, pulling one of the chairs away from the other and seating myself in it. This is one of Marion's devices. She evidently has been arranging-rather disarranging things in this room according to her own sweet fancy,a nd Betty has not yet found it out. She will be furious when she does.'
 "I am sorry to disturb Betty, sor- rier to appear to contradict you, but I must confess that I like Miss Ma rion's arrangement better than yours.' MT. Drake took hold of the other chair as he spoke, coolly showed it forward until the two chairs were in their original position, and as coolly settled himself in it.
 Now let's talk,'' he said lazily "Tell me what you've been doing with yourself since I last saw you. Mrs. Underwood says you've actually been teaching school. SOmeWay I can t quite visualize you as a SchOOlma' am"
 His tone subtly relegated school teachers and their profession to the limbo of the commonplace and the uninteresting, as subtly intimated that my personality was modified by neither of the two adjectives.
 I was inwardly furious with him for his rearrangemento of the chairs, but I intuitively felt that he was quietly amusing himself by trying to arouse an exhibition of prudish resentm lent on my part, or in Dickys parlance to "get a rise out of me- and I set my teeth in the determination to outwit him.

EiOW Nadgc Pared in Her Passage of Wits With Allen Drake

W1tS WlIn AlIcn Drake. Into Allen Drake's keen, brilliant eyes leaped a challenging flash at my too obvious meekness.
 For just an instant I caught it as my eyes met his, then the almost Womanish lashes which arc such a, help to him in his profession of keep ing his own secrets and ferreting out other peoples, masked the flash and stirred me to quick resentment. For the effect given was that of looking at me through half-clOsed eyes, sOme- thing which I detest. It is a trick al- ways associated in my mind With Harry Underwood, which is enough to arouse my active dislike for any per- son using it.
 I allowed no hint of my resentm ent to escape me, however, but managed to turn my back upon him on the pre- tence of crossing the room to rear range the draping of 8 curtain which had become unfastened. Instfnctively I felt that this ignoring of his tactics would annoy him more than anything else that I could do, and for the mo- ment the desire to annoy this bril- liant, self-sufficient man of the world with his ta,ntalizing air of appraise- ment was uppermost with me.
 Betty is growing careless" 1 said, as if to myself, as l lOoped back the drapery in the manner Lillian affects.
 MT. Drakes voice sounded directly behind me, startling me into a swift turn toward him. He had crossed the room so swiftly and noiselessly that I had not heard him.
 Need any help?" His voice was in dolent, but his eyes were mocking. I'm member in good standing of the Curtain Drapers' union. In fact, I ought to report you for scabbing the job"
 "WeII ScOred.'
 His tone was provocative. I put up an imaginary lorgnette and scanned him coolly.

Time Set For Acceptance of
Peace Terms Expires Thurs

Before Thursday Of the present
week shall have passed the German
peace plenipotentiaries at Versailles
are to make known in full to the
delegates of the Allied and associated
powers on what points Of the peace
treaty they acquiesce and what points
they object to, and desire modified.
On Thursday is the time limit for
the Germans to make known their
views on the peace treaty that has
been handed them. No extension has
been granted the Germans, who are
expected to present TO the members
OF the peace congress voluminous
record of objections and of accept
ances of the clauses of the document.
Although the leaders throughout
Germany have declared that the
treaty as framed is unacceptable and
that it will not be signed without
modification the opinion in Paris
seems to prevail that after the rep.
resentatives of the Allied and asso-
c:ated governments have considered
the objections raised by the German
plenipotentiaries and formulated their
signatures to the compact.
Marshal Foch is taking nothing for
granted as regards the probable ac-
! ton Of the Germans at Versailles
He has made visit to the occupied
area and has informed the council Of
four Of the military preparations that
| have been made contingent on the
Germans refusing to accept the Al
! lied peace terms.
Likewise, Cen. Pershing, the Amer:
/ ican commander, is wide awake to the
possibilities Of the situation. A trip
TO London planned by him for the
present week, where he was to. be.
/ the guest Of the British nation, has
been indefinitely postponed ana ne
| will remain on the Rhine until ali
is settled at Versailles.
American financial experts are still
discussing economic matters with the
Germans at Versailles, particularly
with regard to Germanys ability to
pay for foodstuffs and the method
of payment. The reply of the council
of four to the German note regard
ing reparations will declare that it,
is impossible to dissociate responsible
ity from reparations and also decline
to admit that the German people may
disclaim responsibility for the actions
Of the former German government.
