Why Madge's Fears Changed
Happy Congratulations.


I AS the violins of the school orches-
ira showed unmistakable signs of ap-
preaching the end of the selection
with which they were favoring US
DiclSy lifted his head from my I'M
fortunate pasted manuscript and let
his eyes rove over the faces before
him until he found mine. T have
never seen him look handsomer. He
was. indeed, brilliant, imposing
figure, in his aviators uniform which
he had protestingly put on for the
occasion.
But though my heart leaped in
voluntarily with pride at his appear
ance, yet I could not down the fear
felt of what [ might hear from his
lips in the next few moments. For
his eyes, as they met mine, were full
of the dancing little devils, which in
Dicky always mean his most reckless,
Irresponsible mood. That he saw my
trepidation at the sudden appearance
of my once rejected manuscript, I'M
derstood the dismayed comprehen-
sion of its feminine phraseology
which had come to me and was mis-
chievOusly revelling in my conster-
nation, was only too apparent to me.
But I saw a turning of heads, knew
that pupils and teachers were watch
ing Dicky's every glance and gesture,
and ] forced my lips to a gay little
answering smile at him.
The next moment the orchestral
music had ceased and Mr.. Stock
bridge, with an earnestness which l
knew was born OF his anguished envy
Of the soldiers chances denied his
MANNED body, was introducing Dicky
TO the pupils crowded before him.
With a little sick feeling at nay heart
] saw that my husband held loosely in
his hands the manuscript which had
become anathema to me.
A Brilliant Success.
But with his first words I gave a
heartfelt sigh of relief and as he
warmed to his subject I had hard
work to keep back happy, grateful
tears. For every word, from his first
sentence to his last, was couohed in
snappy, crisp, masculine English with
no pretsnse about it, but of such
virility and such absorbing interest
that his youthful auditors appeared
literally to be accomplishing the
hackneyed phrase, changing upon his
words
And yet, while no word of his whole
talk was mine, he frequently referred
in a swift, f1eeting manner to my
manuscript and 1 soon discovered
that had it not been for that much
abused paper. his speech would not
have been the brilliant success that
it was.

wave of healing comfort over my
soul and I knew enough of my hus-

make royal atOnement for the de-

guilty.
An Embarrassing Instant.
AS he sat down after an almost
boyish yet inspiring appeal to the
pupils TO keep their standard of
American freedom high and unsul-
lied, the walls echoed and re-echoetl
with youthful cheers which Mr.. Stock
bridge encouraged by his own voice

PALACE THEATER.

Another big bill will be offered at
the Palace theater today. Tuesday
and Wednesday, headed by the cele-
brated Doctor Harmon, the mystic.
DR.. Harmon was engaged at the last
minute to headline the program for
the first part of this week after which
he resumes his starring tour of six
weeks before leaving for q trip
around the world. A native of India,
this wonder worker will offer the
most astonishing novelty in vaude-
vile. He will demonstrate what the
powers of concentration will do and
with the aid of his crystal ball will
take a peep into the future to the
amazement of every one in his aud
fence. He claims no great powers,
says he cannot even spell the word
psychic and has never appeared be-
fore the crowned heads of Europe,
but by concentration he will give a
performance that is entirely new to
the stage and one that will surprise
and have all of New Britain talking.
The bill looks to be another good one
and includes the famous musical
comedy comedenne Artie Hall, sister of
the renown Bonita who will offer q
number of new songs in her own orig
show in herself and is sure to be one
of the big hits of the bill. Billy In
man and Johnny Lyons are too we'll
known to write about. They will
present a new comedy offering that
takes them to the biggest vaudeville
houses. Billy Inman is said to be one
of the greatest Irish comedians of
modern times. He works quietly and
with ease and always registers in such
a ringing manner which makes his
success all the greater. The ZatZams
will offer something entirely new.
They have just arrived from the West
and take up their big time booking
after leaving New Britain. They are
under the personal direction of Lee
Muckenfuss one of the bookers of
the B. +. Keith offices. The Daley
Brothers too have q novelty that is
sure to please. The moving picture
part of the program has not been
sighted and is headed by the beauti-
full Clara Kimball Young, in q screen
version of Max MARGINS great play
Cheating Cheaters." This picture
is in six parts and is said to be even
better than the speaking version Of
the play that remained in New York
for nearly two years. The second
chapter of The Red Glove" will be
shown as will another Prizma picture
in natural colors and q funny l.. 10
comedy. Reserved seats are now SELL

they raise there. The Consolidation
Coal Company OF FairmOnt, w. Va,
with plants in that State, also in
Pennsylvania and Kentucky, has re-

No other phase of the War Garden

testifying as to the value Of this
work, even reports stating that work

accept work at higher wages else
where because they had planted gar
