Robert Walmsley accomplished. II
he found. with the good poet with
the game foot and artifciaIly curled
hair. that he who ascends to noun
tain tops will find the Ioftiest peaks
most wrapped in clouds and snow
he concealed his chillblains beneath
a brave and smiling exterior. He
was a lucky man and knew il, even
though he were initiating the Spar
tan boy with an ice-cream freezer
beneath his doublet frapeeing the
region of his heart.
After brief wedding tour abroad
the couple returned to create a de-
cided ripple in the calm cistern ESQ
placid and cool and sunless it isl of
the best society. They entertained
at their red brick mausoleum OF
ancient greatness in an old square
that is a cemetery of crumbled
glory. And Robert Walmsley was
proud of his wife; although while
one of his hands shook his guests
the other held tightly to his alpen-
stock and thermometer.
One day Alicia found a letter writ
ten to Robert by his mother. It was
an unerudite letter. full of crops
and motherly love and farm notes
1t chronicled the health of the pig
and the recent red calf, and asked
concerning Roberts ind return. 1t
was a letter direct from the soil,
straight from home, full of biogra-
phies OF bees. tales of turnips. pae-
ans of new-laid eggs, neglected par
ents and the slump in dried apples.
Why have / not been shown your
mothers letters?" asked Alicia.
There was always something in her
voice that made you think of lorg-
nettes. of accounts at Tiffany's, of
sledges smoothly gliding on the
trail from Dawson to Forty Mile. of
the tinkling of pendant prisms on
your grandmother's chandeliers, of
snow lying on a convent roof; of a
police sergeant refusing bail. Your

there for n week or two, Robert"
I'VE WILL" said Robert with the
grand air of an associate Supreme
Justice concurring in an opinion. Il
did not lay the invitation before you
because 1 thought you would not
care to go. am much pleased at
your decision"
Il will write to her myself" an
swered Alicia, with a faint fore
shadowing- of enthusiasm. "Felice
shall pack my trunks at once.
Seven, / think, will be enough, lido
not suppose that your mother en-
tertains great deal. Does she give
many house parties?'
Robert arose. and az attorney for
rural places filed a demurrer against
six of the seven trunks He en-
deavored to define, picture, eluci-
date, set forth and describe a farm.

Mrs. Bradley flushed.

Mrs. Bradley leaned forward.

Alison set down her cup.

"Yes? the other woman smiled.
AS it happens. 1 have proof that
you dined in town with my husband
and left the Blackmore in a motor

Alison stared at her in frank
amazement. A host of conjectures
darted through her brain

of her wrongs, Z think I'll have

superior finesse, she was only bid

The two 'chatted desultorily until
the arrival of the tea things, when
Alison busted herself with the silver
paraphernalia.

mind and join me?"

mouth.

If nothing more-are trying to

Alison set the silver teapot down

Wife Stay. Up But sleeps at the
Switch.
One night Rupert Gordon's wife
Minnie sat up for him until a. m.
She dozed off and fell asleep on
the steps by the front door. The
light had gone out.
Rupert slipped in quietly and
started upstairs. Not seeing Min
ME in the dark he stepped on her.
She screamed.
A policeman came. Minnie told
him that her husband had kicked
her in the chest and She wanted
him locked up. 1t was done.
Twas an accident, Judge" ex-
planned Rupert. "Ah nebber knowed

spoke UP Minnie. 'Ah saw him wen
he raised dat number eleven foot
and lemme me have it in nah

How kin a woman see in her
sleep?" Rupert asked excitedly. "Ah
admits dat some wimmen has eyes
in de back of dere heads, but never
knew one who could see in her
sleep"
Minnie admitted that she had
dozed off and this admission raised
doubt in the courts mind and
the case against Rupert was dis
missed.

tion of ginger ale and denatured

He used thd name of Harry West"
to fool druggist into selling him

ing the pharmacy law was placed
against him. He did the same
thing before and served time, he
said. -.
How much time you gonna gimme
this time, Judge" Simms asked.
You need not worry about that
part of it," said the court. II am
going to find out little more about
you before I pass sentence" The
man was sent back to Jail to wait

Consider the case of Charles r.
Brady, who came all the way from
oregon, staying about a week in
each town. Every time he would
just about get settled, the cops
would make him move away.
Brady has only one leg. A DO
liceman picked him up on Seventh
s<reet in front of the Land Office.
The man had been sitting all day
in one spot, with no overcoat on,
trying to sell pencils.
When Questioned by the court.
Brady said he sold about 81 worth
of pencils every day and managed
to keep his head above water that
way.
"On condition that you keep NOV
ing and go on South. where you say
you want to go, will let you go
this time" the court said.
And so it goes. There is no rest

she catches herself wondering how
she happened to marry a plain busi-
ness man. even IL he does bring

turesque film. robber; and IL she
has ceased to register a thrill when
her John gives a bread and eggs
peck on the cheek when he starts
to work of q morning, instead of
pulling the cave-man stuff as they
do in the movies, then let her be-
ware!
She's drugged up on lurid ro-
nance. and she is in just as much
danger of wrecking her life as she
would be IL she had acquired the
opium habit. She's got to have the
nerve to give 1t all up until she
gets back to normal.
The real secret of enjoyment of
anything is to take II in modera-
tion, but IL there are some women
who have been hurt by an over
indulgence in the movies. there are
millions upon millions of women
who have got nothing but good
out of them. They have been saved
from themselves, saved from be-
coming morbid and disgruntled
and cross and unendurable to live
with, by the genii of the films.
i can think of no other one thing
that has done as much to brighten
the life of the great mass of woman
kind as moving pictures have done.
II is only the fortunate few women
who have money enough 70 go to
the theaters, to have automobiles,
to spend their afternoons at tea
parties and luncheons, and In other
forms of more or less expensive
amusement, because a woman must
have the proper clothes for these
diversions, as well as the price
thereof.
Thus for the majority OF women
there was nothing but the dull,
monotonous round OF work, with no
fun thrown in, no amusement, moth
ing to stir the imagination, or
for a woman to think about as she
made her beds, or sewed long seams.
Then came the movies and opened
up a new world to her. full of ro-
nance and adventure, sentiment and
laughter.
1t was a world to which the price
of admission was so cheap that she
could go and take the children
along with her, and it gave the
whole family something of mutual
interest to talk about instead of
quarreling with each other.
So, taking it by and large, the
moving pictures have been a bene-
faction to those who needed help
the most; and a woman can have
far worse faults than to be a movie
fan. and spend her evenings far less
profitably than in getting a little
sip of romance, a little laughter and
fun, and a deal of solid information
a. the movies.
For one thing your woman who
is film fan is never a back num-
ber. She's always strictly up-to-
date. and knows just exactly all
about the last big thing that hap
pened in the world. For she has
seen 1t with her own eyes.
