That always turns out right" replied
her friend.
"Puddine?" questioned Mrs. Mat

Another dessert that sometimes is a

NO, indeed said Mrs. Edmonds
emphatically. Puddine is per-
fectly wonderful dessert that always

minutes, and you know that when it
has cooled you will have nice, rich

CHAPTER LXXVIII.

The clock in the hall had just
chimed the quarter before 3 when
Desiree heard David'S ring. She sat
still and waited, her hands clasped
tightly in her lap.
The maid came from the rear of
the house and opened the front
door.
She had never seen her employ
er's former chauffeur, therefore
treated him as an ordinary caller.
Desiree could hear her deferential
tones as she offered to take his coat
and hat from him.
There was a pause while the man
divested himself of his coat. The
maid ushered him into the drawing
room. Desiree rose as he entered,
and the dark blue portieres closed
behind him.
The room was lighted only by
shaded globes that threw soft
glow over everything. AS in a flash
David remembered how he had
stood there by this girl weeks ago
when he had first entered her
faher's employ-and how, for a mo-
men, he had felt that he was once
more in his own place. Had that
feeling been a premonition-or a
warming?
He drew himself together and
looked at his hostess.
She was pale, but self-contained.
She wore, as the first time he saw
her, light violet color. Her semi
evening dress showed her white
throat Around it was a slender
chain from which hung the anne
thyst and diamond pendant. He
tried to keep his eyes from resting
on it, -.
Good evening, ST. th," she said,
holding out her hand to him.
He had not expected this. TAX
ing her hand, he bowed low over it,
then released it.
You are very kind to see me this
evening, Miss Leighton" he heard
himself saying.

Joined with the ease of a thorough
bred. "I had no. other engagement.
Won't you sit down."

close, Pat came over and laid his

caressing voice. "Jeanie has never

'And now, little fairy godmother.
your next task is to get rid of the
visitors by the time we return this
evening. Can you do that?" asked
Pat. And without giving away
our secret? The whole town needn't
start gossiping about us right
away"
Can I do that" I laughed.
Watch me. What's my next job?"
1t was Virginia who replied.
Your next job, dear. is to help
me plan for real wedding out here

"Dreamwold ?" I echoed. "a we'd

That's the very name for our
home, where dreams come true.

dreams come true here will be you,

brain tired to follow it, but one that
will hold your interest throughout
the play, and also serve as an excel
lent vehicle to build up an evenings
entertainment of hilarious fun and
music.
The scenic equipment Of Come

ty and leaves nothing to the imagi-
ration.
Starting with the first scene at the
Silver Rock Golf Club, Long Island,

wall Island, the land Of Sunshine,
Flowers and Romance. The beauti-
ful gardens of the Oriental Hotel,
with the silvery lake in the distance,
the Hawaiian moon shining down up
on it, the road to the Beach, and the
famous Waikiki Bathing Beach, are
all scenes noted for correctness and
beauty.
Haunting tunes ripple through the
play, and fun of the irresistible kind
make up the two and one half hours
of real enjoyment and pleasure.
A company of some 40 people, in
Guiding the famous broadway Cho-
rus" will inhabit the above scenes,
and present that, which is heralded as
one OF the best of the seasons musi-
cal attraction.

"The Miracle Man" Is Coming.


George Loane fuckers "The Mira

has been causing such a Juror in the
cities Of the Southland will pay a
visit to Palatka when it will be pre-
scented at the Arcade theatre for two
days starting with a matinee on De-

THE Miracle Man" is a picturiza-
tlon of the novel by Frank l.. Packard
and until recently was a success on
the speaking stage under the direc-
ton of George M. Conan who is re-
sponsible for the dramatization of
the piece.
Very few pictures of recent years
have called for as much comment by
the press as "The Miracle Man." The
Atlanta Journal has gone so far as
10 say that people should be requir-
ed by law to see the George Loane
Tucker masterpiece. The Birming-
ham News, speaking through their
editorial column, said it is truly
remarkable picture; an example of
the better movie.
"The Miracle Man" has been ex-
hibited at the George NJ. Cohan
Theatre in New York for the past
month at $500 a seat and from the
interest evidenced in the big picture
it is sure to continue it's run there
fer many months at the high prices.
The local management has arranged
to show the picture at reduced
prices and fifty cents will be charged
for the best seats.

lettuce, grown under irrigation, is pro-

Members of the local Lodge Of Moose have taken ut

tv of the citizens business and taxpayers of the
community when it said that it did not favor collection
tf shows coming here under the misnomer of Carnival
bringing in very undesirable class of hangers and
offering little in return.
The only reference we made to the Moose was that
we doubted very much that the lodge would benefit eth
er financially or in local prestige for fostering such
enterprise. We still believe this is true We hope, how
ever that the lodge benefits financially from the arrange
ment The argument that the carnival will leave more
money here than it carries away is contrary to all bust
ness principles. If such the it wouldn't be
cut on the road wandering around to pick its chances to
ret secret orders other organizations to back them up

for it's own gain We will if the Moose lodge bene-
