 The original plan had been that Lillian.

 Mother Graham had been delighted with the verdict. Like all grand mothers, she welcomed the prospect of absolute sway over the destinies of her grandchild, and she also enjoyed the prospect of managing her sons household for him.
 My father, I realized with 8 little shock, had simply been overlooked in the plan. No one had considered whether or not he would like to go with us. It simply had been taken for granted that he would stay on in that my father was 8 sort of fifth wheel in my home and resolved fiercely that the condition was one which would exist no longer.
 But how to manage this trip for him I had no idea, and I pondered ways and means all the way home. But I did not at once recognize the way out which opened to me when I came into the house. Indeed, for a few moments [ was diSmayed with the idea that my whole outing must be abandoned.

'.BROkE\ BLOSSOMS" AT PALACE.

In D. W. Griffith's masterpiece, "Brokcn Bossoms,' now at the Pal ace theater, there are some striking that the poet Cheng Huan knew be- fore he left the land of plum blos- sons to settle down in the muck of Pennyfields and the dock district of London'S East End. One of these scenes shows a kindly old Mandarin who stops his "Kago' or sedan chair to distribute sweetheart and cash to a bevy of richly dressed little Chi nese maidens.
 The camera cannot tell all the truth about China, but MT. Griffith was quick to see that something of the truth, he contrast beween the kindly treatment accorded children by the Chinese, and the brutality. vicious- ness and minimizing cruelty, meted out to the children of the poof in other places, had to be drawn. so as to em- phasize the naturalncss of the Chi nese chivalry that made Cheng Huan inevitably care for little fifteen year old Lucy, after her beast of a father, Battling Burrows. lad driven her from his wretched one-room house.
 The Keith vaudeville bill is fea- tured by Marty Brooks Review" a musical comedy review with six cleV- CT people. Other acts include John O'Malley, the noted Irish tenor and Berzac's Circus. As an added attrac- ton the management will show the first and only moving pictures of the Twenty-Sixth Yankee Division in France. Some wonderful scenes show the boys at Seicheprey, Chemin Des Danes and Bours. General Edwards and Colonel Logan are also well pho- togra phed.

her lurid portrayal of women who use
the appeal Of passion to demoralize
men, in an interview protests against
being regarded as vampire" in
private life, says the Echo. =.
She says she was a young actress
on Broadway, when a theatrical man

saying she was born to play vampire
roles. Il am exceptionally prim in my

when I played vampires, I assumed

she was not adequately paid for her
unpleasant work, but of late she is
getting what she considers a fair
share of the profits she makes for the
proprietors.
We cannot Suppress the query: Has
this woman a conscience? And IL
she has, does she believe that the

Dublin, March 2.-There is a great
contrast between the reception given
by Ireland to the latest home rule
bill and that given the three bills
that preceded it. It is hardly too
much to say that its rejection has
been unanimous. Nobody has had a
word to say in its favor. Nobody, so
far, even has thought it worth while
to dissect and attack.
The favorite criticism is that the
Lloyd George bill is merely the old
home rule act with some improve.
ments and with provisions which ia.
cilitate its expansion into practically
any form of home rule short of sep.
aration upon which the opposing sec.
tions chose to agree.
