[ property. Above all that is enter taining and beautiful in the picture is tha work of Blanche Sweet. As Fighting Greasy" Miss Sweet emerses with an entirely new person alitN that is even more fascinating. if possible. than the one her admirers are so familiar with. Her personality shines clearly and serenely. She isn | asked to play a heavy. dramatic part, but she brings to the role of the spir- ited Greasy poise, charm and Whino- sical humor. :,
 The ever-funny Mutt and Jeff. the fourth episode of The Adventures of Ruth" an exceptionally beautiful Prizma and the Fox News from all over the world complete the photo- play part of the program.
 The vaudeville is headed by The Creole Revue. which is billed as t!ce classiest Creole offering in vaudeville, and which lives up to it's reputation. Joe Gray. a diminutiVe com edian, is a vocalist as well, and his offerings were more than well received. Freddy and Wilson are two men with remarkab ble voices and they caugh, last nights audience in it's best humor. Alma White undoubtedly is the peer of all Xylophonists who have appeared here.

LYCEUM THE.ATER,

Someone Must Pay" which is the big feature at the Lyceum tonight and tomorrow. is one that will appeal to theatergoers of the city. It is not q sex story, as the title might suggest to some, but a clean-cut problem Of the type which the movie fan dotes upon.

 Four big acts of vaudeville are OF the bill, headed by Those Five Girls They sing and play the violin and the act is set With special scenery. Lyn- ton and Paris are a pair of clever comedians Lee Stoddard is a mimic who is well worth seeing, and The Brescoms have an act which is com plete with novelty features.

MY HEART AND MY HUSBAND ADELE GARRISON'S NEW PHASE OF Revelations of a Wife

 intimacies unless With those I have known and loved for long time, but there was something .pathetically ap- pealing in the dark eyes looking into mine
 'Do-do--you think Mrs. Durkee really wants me-" she began falter- ingly-then, evidently swept by some urgent feeling. she hurried into rapid speech. You see, I have no way O. telling. Of course, Alfred's first thought was naturally for me to como to his mother, and I could not refuse him. And I do want to come. I'd just love to take care of her. I'd wait on her hand and foot, but I'm SO afraid that Alfred has urged her so that she couldn't refuse him. T. would be perfectly awful if she didn't want me and had to have me around when she is helpless this way"
 Madse Is Literal
 I interrupted her ruthlessly.
 Do you know what I thinll?' I asked lightly, giving her shoulder a caressing little squeeze. II think you're being a very foolish little gil and arc giving yourself a great deal Of unnecessary bother. You see, I happened 10 be present when Alfred said hc thought you would be glad to come, and his mother expressed her self as delighted. said there was. no one she would rather have than Leila.'"
 'Oh' Did she really?" The girls delicate face was suffused with happy color. I felt like rushing over and shaking my obstinate little neighbor for not realizing the treasure of an affectionate heart which was offered to her.
 She really did" I smiled, and the only objection I heard her make was to the effect that it was an imposition to ask you to put off your own work to come to her"
 'I had nothing to put off, A quick shadow fitted over the girls face. and I guessed that her lack of opporturi- ties 10 earn money hurt her cruelty. And I am so glad she wants me. Tell me. please. just what there is to do."
 I outlined briefly the treatment Dr. Gibson had ordered, then unfolded the household arrangements Mother Ora ham and had already planned.
 You arc not 10 do any cooking except the things Mrs. Durkee wants. and we will send over most of those she won't be on any special invalid diet after today. You and Alfred will take your meals with us, and some one of us will run across and sit with her while you are over here at your meals. Now, not a word. II is all arranged. But there is one thing which is going to be very trying. I am afraid. Mrs. Durkee was right in the midst of her canning and preserving and there is a great deal of fruit on the place which she is afraid is going 10 waste"
 "Oh-h,' Leila carolled like a little girl. That's just what I love! I've been just crazy to fix Ali some of the jams and things my old black mamm!- taught me, and now I'll have the chance"
 I turned my head to hide a dis mayed but whimsical smile. I fore saw fun ahead for the disinterestod onlooker in this contest of canners.

 My Own Recipes.
 When cake is to be served with a more elaborate dessert I like a simple sponge cake. No cake is more easily digested and nourishing. And from the everlasting economi- cal standpoint, sponge cake is not expensive. Of course the rule calls for four eggs, but there is no butter or milk, so the number of eggs does not mean an eXtraVagant cake.
