The best and most beloved of all these works is Little Orphant Annie"

LYCEUM THEATER.

Manager Mason has another big novelty to spring on Monday. next when he will present his Lyceuni Pray CTS in Cheating Cheaters," a play en- tirely unlike anything his eompany has yet given here, and it is only after much effort on his part that he has been able to induce A. II. Woods, the New York manager who controls the play. to permit it's production by a stock company.
 Cheating Cheaters'' itself needs no praise. It's long run in Boston and New York Chicago and the other big cities throughout the United States it's bounded success make it as well known here as elsewhere. It is in fact the most talked about drama of mod ern times, and being another mystery play full of constant surprises, makes it a worthy vehicle to follow the sue cessful 18th Chair" It holds the au- dience in undivided and undiverted at tention to it's very end. In fact, the solution of the mystery is not revealed until almost the final curtain, and it is worked out so logically that many a person in the audience wonders why he did not guess it.
 Both thriNS and merriment pervade the whole four acts of this play. There is an ingenuity and an air of novelty about it that catches even the most hardened theatergoer. It's scenes are played in two country houses in the suburbs of New York, with the final act in a detective's office in the city itself. It is 6 comedy of constant give and take, and It's humor per- vades it's entire scheme so that the au- dience is kept in an alternating state of hilarity and excitement Mounted in the usual elaborate manner in which all the present productions are being handled and played by tho full strength of the Lyceum players in the cast, 1t will prove another banner week for this worthy organization. To- morrow night there will be given the usual startling program of motion. pictures of the first run variety with

 But will it be wise," I was going to say, "to defy the president? He Is sure to hear of it."
 MT. Heron, however. had delivered his command and resumed his work. You may think that I should have insisted upon his listening, Joan. But I tell you people don't argue with thai man. They obey him. He has wss of silently putting an end to the interview.
 We duly dined at the Fairfax. a handsome modern hotel of the very best sort. Everything in the most exquisite taste. Such food! / SuRf service! And everybody treats Johf Heron as though he were the over- lord of the universe.
 He had got tickets for the theat@r where an attraction fresh from New York was playing. ..t
 "I don't often go to a show" he remarked as he hailed an automobile at the hotel door and handed me in with painstaking chivalry, "but this one is something extraordinary. Pity to miss 1t, now we have the chance. 1t will take our minds off business~
 Never word as to whether I was agreeable to the plan!

 .'How often have I warned you, Margaret, about your pernicious habit of eating your fruit first she said tartly "That iced fruit taken into your stomach the first thing cannot help but chill you. You should begin vour meal with something hot
 Don't you think we've gone over that enough ?" I asked placidly 'I like my fruit first. You like your coffee. And we both have medical au- thorities for our course. So don't you think it would be a good idea to agree to differ about it?''
 1T think you are adopting Q, very impertinent tone toward me- she re- torted acidly, and for the next few minutes devoted herself strictly to her cereal and the delicious omelet which Katie brought in next
 Has that ape got over her tan- trum ?" This was her next contribu- tion to the conversation, delivered ex- plosively as the girl left the room after serving the omelet. "She looks sulky."
 II think she is simply worried for fear things aren't cooked right" I re- piled quickly.
 "Well, see that she keeps out of the kitchen and my way until I get that cake out of the oven!' my mother in-law retorted.
 As if her own words had reminded her of a duty, she sprang up, rushed to the kitchen, and evidently inspected the cake, for she returned in a mo- ment flushed and triumphant and an nounced that it was rising beauti- fully"
 She drank a second cup Of coffee and then folding her arms on the table before her, looked at me steadily.
 "Is Richard coming home for Rich ard Seconds birthday" she demand ed.
 I hesitated only a second. I might as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb" I quoted to myself, remem- bering that I had insisted to Mother han, tbat therp WAS no Ouarral be- tween Dicky and me.
 "Of course he is!' I asserted. But he is so busy that I don't expect he will get here much before tonight"
 'Humph!" she calculated again, and the monosyllable, which was the only reply she vouchsafed me, held no more of doubt than did my own heart.

 Today MT. Heron tossed letter over to me.

 It was from the president of tho road He had heard of the change in secretaries and commented some what like this:
 My wife thinks it very bad

 president. and I agree with her.
 I consult my wife on many Of my business affairs, Heron, and
 always find her judgment good
 In this case, I must ask that you
 engage a man to replace Miss

 former secretary is able to take up his duties again.

 Stuff and nonsense! No one commands me in my department. If it were a matter of railroad policy, it would be different. This is a ques- tion of managing my own office. Have I affronted you in any way? Have I outraged the proprieties?"
 "No-certainly not" I replied, but they don't know

WHAT TO EAT NEXT
 WEEK
(By Biddy Bye.)

The good manager who looks ahead to the meals for winter does not limit her purchases of the cheap fall Vege- tables to amounts sufficient for only two or three meals. Thoughtful mar- keters will observe that sweet pota- toes SQuashes onions, half-ripe to- matoes, pumpkins, carrots, turnips, rutabagas, parsnips, beets, cabbage and potatoes are at their cheapesct and most plentiful on the late Septem- Der and carly October markets.
 Farmers and market gardeners are harvesting their autumn crops, and the city dweller fortunate enough to have a Cellar-or even an attic will do well to take a leaf from the squir- relS' book and store up for winter Friend husband or young son should be pressed into service to construct good bins and racks in the cellar, separated into compartmcn where a bushel or two of each of the late vegetables may be stored. They are an important supplement to the can ned products in the fruit cellar. Root vegetables are the STAPLES of the winter menus. Buy them for use now-and for the future.
 Here are menus for September week:
 Sunday.
 Breakfast-Ripe pears, hominy Waffles, honey, cocoa.
 Dinner-Fruit cup, lamb stew with barley and vegetables, hot biscuit, cu- cumber and tomato salad. French dressing, grape ice, cup cakes.
 Supper-Cream of corn soup, toast ed cheese wafers, apples and raisins, tea
 Monday.
 Brea kfast--Sliced oranges, creamed clipped beef on toast, coffee.
 LunCh--Buttered beets, spinach peanut butter sandwiches, tea.
 Dinner~-Planked fish. with glazed carrots and onion, baked potato, Ro- maine salad, egg dressing, cupcakes with hot orange sauce.
 Tuesday.
 ast--Cream of wheat cooked with figs, vegetable hash, toast, cof- fee.

This evening will witness the last screening of Madame Traverse S great photoplay, The Splendid Sin" at FoX's theater. In the role of Lady Marion Chatham, Miss Traverse is at her best, giving an interpretation of the part that is both artistic and
