SilNerSa Lake. Friday.

SllVerSand Lake, FrldaN.
 You have probably been wondering, Joan dearie, what has become of our "vam pire," Anita Corley. I have had so much else to write you that I left her out. I wish I could so easily leave her out of my existence. But no-she is very much here. And twice as deadly since the arrival Of Mrs. Kymbal, seeing that Captain Wallis is more concerned with the mysterious English lady than with either her or myself.
 Miss >Corley has transferred her venemous attentions to Mary Kymbal, evidently feeling that if she wounds her sufficiently she will take herself off and out of the way.
 There is a little arbor, dear, built for sWeethearts, which hangs over the lake and has but one approach, A narrow shaded path along sort of peninsula. Thither Mrs. Kymbal had obviously gone to be alone. l was padding about in a canoe.
 Presently, hearing voices, I glanced toward the arbor and beheld Anita Corley in the mate to the rustic chair occupied by Mrs. Kymbal. Whenever I see Miss Corley tete-a-tete with woman, I know there is trouble in the wind. My ears burn to hear what she is saying. my fingers itch to drag her off her victim.
 Justifying myself with the thought of rescuing poor Mary Kymb bal, who seemed like a hurt bird under the peckngs of a hawk, I slipped my boat silently along the shore to a point nearly beneath them, and this is what I heard:
 No women are ever friendly" Miss Corley was saving acidly, evidently in response to some remark of Mary Kym bal's, when they are both after the same man. Pursuing a man is legitimate enough, I grant you, but sometimes a woman is a fool to enter the race"
 A moment of silence ensued I could not see Mrs. Kymbal, but I pie tured her biting her thin lips and casting about for 8 way to avoid fur ther conversation. Anita. who is all ways piqued by non-resstance, went on:
 Too many handicaps are fatal. Some women do not know the Veriest rudiments of the game. Tears,' she went on viciously, may affect man when he feels they may turn at any instant into victorious laughter. But when they only make the eyes red and the nose shiny, and the man is certain that the woman is his for the taking"
 "Oh-oh, you are very cruel-' gasped Mrs. Kymbal.
 "I am merely truthful went on Corley evenly. 1T am pointing out the uselessness of a mature woman competing in race which only the young, the free, the strong and the -well-equipped can afford to enter. A wife and mother of a half-groWn boy is scarcely-"

their hungry mouths with her meagre earnings. How Mary found the joy of love and at last became master of those dainty dancing feet is all shown in this pleasing film. A comedy, News and special music fills the bill.

Wetona's mother was white woman and, in accordance with her dying wish Wetona has been brought Up as a white girl. She tells her father will not tell him his name. Quannan

 'Locoed Larry" Lang is a roister- ing, reckless leader of a wild crew of COW punchers. Years before, Larrys father had been murdered oN Claude Dutton leader of a bad gang of rustle1S, and Larry had sworn that some day he would get Dutton.

 Larry finds himself the possessor of a legacy left by an aunt consisting of Dora Lawrence, a distant cousin, and a feather bed He becomes involved in some avery em barrassing situations when he tries to induce the girl to leave the ranch, Dora catching to leave clad only in her diaphanous "nightie" if he insists upon her going.

IY HEART and MY HUSBAND
 Revelations 0f a Wife

For there Wa% nothing nl the N"'';, story save the bald facts which Al;"o HOlcombe had narrated to me. The cause of her death was spoken of as d "mysterious poisoning,' the source of which was in doubt. and 1t vas further stated that an autopsy was to be performed to determine the nature of tho poison. which was evidently quick and powerful one.
 There was no hint of connecting Kenneth StoCkbridge with the death of his wife. and no word which could possibly lead anyone to conjecture that his marital life had been any thing but happy. I knew enough of newspapers to realize that if poor Millv Stockbridge's insane threat 10 file a suit for divorce, naming Alice Holcombe and myself, had been pub lished the news of it would have connected with the story of her death. Nevertheless. I carefully scanned every column of the paper to assure myself beyond all doubt that the hor- rible thing was not hidden in some obscure corner.
 When I had fearfully finished the Ia column of the last page, my over- strained nerves gave way. The pape" slipped from my hands to the floor and I hurled my face in the arm Of my chair in a paroxysm of hysterical weeping.
 'Too> at Ne!''
 felt my hands drawn upward and Dicky's face-mystificd, anxious-- looked down at me.
 For the love of sanity, Madge" he exploded, "whatovor is the matter with you'?'
 The room whirled with me. How was I ever to explain my emotion to my husband? I had been so careful to keep from him any suspicion Of the unpleasant conditions surrounding my teaching at Bayview that l knew the revelation of it now would not only shock him, but anger him be- cause of the deceit he would justly consider that I had given him.
 "I-I-don't knoW,' ] stammered. 1T guess I'm getting worn out, nerv- ously ] awakened a long while ago, and after trying in vain to get back to sleep. I-I-thought-l would come down here and read a While."
 There was long silence. I did not look at Dicky, but I felt his gaze upon me.
 Look at mel" he burst out thichly at last.
 I raised my eyes >miserably to his, met in them the old, angry, jealous look which I had not seen in Dicl1y's eyes for many months.
 "That spiel won't go,' he said coarsely. 'I happened to be wakeful, too, this morning, and I heard you when you stole downstairs. I thought a first you'd got hungry or some thing, and thought nothing about it. Then I heard you take in the morn ing paper and go into the library. I waited for a while and decided I'd come down and take a slant at the news myself. And then I hear this wild weeping and find you like this.
 Som ethings doing that I don't know anything about, but don't make any mistake, I'm going to know right now.'

"Please!" Mrs, KymbaTs voice rang out in agonized protest Please stop! You have no right-Let me go"
 Without further hesitation, I pad dled up under the summer house. Mrs. Kymbal had risen from hor chair and was trying to escape, her handkerchief pressed to her lips her voice choked with fright and misery. But Anita Corley had maneuvered her rocker so that it blocked the rustic entrance. She had not yet finished clawing the helpless bird she had managed to get her talons on.
 They turned and saw me. Miss Corley laughed harshly. An! Our noble heroine to the rescue Eavesdropping is one of the rarest pleasures of summer hotel, isn't it, Miss Varick? Such a direct way of learning all that goes on! Makes good copy, too, when retailed to-a-an author, say"

LYCEUM THEATER NEXT WEEK.


 aThe first presentation here by any company of the most powerful of modern melodramas, '"The Silent Witness,' will be the next attra ction at the Lyceum theater. After a tre- mendous success in New York and other cities during which it has oeen acclaimed as the "greatest dramatic triumph since Madame K" and as "a play of many stirring SenSa tionS," it will be offered to New Britainites for the first time-and at popular prices.
 ''The Silent Witness" is melo- dranSa in a prologue and three acts It's dramatic motive is the claim that the public prosecutor should be the attorney for all of the people, and not for a single class, and the drama list has woven this into his play in such a skillful fashion he forces the idea home without in any way seeming to preach or to teach a lesson. He has taken vital proposition and given it an effective dramatic significance
 The story told in The Silent Witness" is the tale of a boy Eugene Shakespeare) who works his way through college against the handicap of competition with the sons of wealthy men. One of these boys Crank Ford sneers at the poor boys parentage in such a manner that he cannot help showing his re- sentiment by a blow, and fight fol- lows in which Bud Morgan uninten- tionally kills Wilbur Weldon.

 The first duty of the housewife marketer is careful thought.
 Pristine thought that breads, cer- calls. fruits and vegetables are cheap CT than meat and should form the bulk of the diet. Second. the thought that some cuts of meat are far cheap CT than others, and that eggs, cheese, beans and peas, and maCaroni are eX- cellent meat substitutes. Also that cereals and vegetables properly com bined with meat can make small amount go d long way.
 Third, that carefully planned menus made for a week ahead, help the marketer to buy only what is needed and no more-avoiding waste and eX- travagayce.
 FourtN-the thought that foods bought out of season or in times of scarcity are an unnecessary eXtrava- gance.
 Fifth-the thought that milk, how ever expensive Is a cheaper food and more important than meat. Each child under 15 should drink or eat in food 1 quart a day, and every adult requires 1 pint each day.
