learning go hand in hand he stated fact that is

year. But to be Of any real benefit the athletics must
be inteiligently applied, and that involves expert
supervision and proper appliances In this connection

here this year after considerable interval during

CONSOLATION
By BertOn Bralcy

a T golf we were an awful frost
"A In spite Of all the stars we had
We lost-and oh. the way we lost
Was very. very. very sad.
The English beat US every hole,
We were sorry lot; but now
we lay this JUNCTION to our soul
We won at Polo, anyhow!
Because of failure on the lipks
our spirits were at lowest cbb,
We seemed to face an awful 3inx:
But Mtlburn stoddard, Hitchcock. Webb.
Proved masters of faster game
And, riding. cavalier and gay,
Gave US a rightfu chance to claim,
I'VE won at Polo, anyway"
They kept their eyes upon the ball.
They rode like centaurs through the field,
They gave John Bull no chance at all,
His top-noteh team was forced to yield;
So, though our golfers missed the prize
And in defeat were forced 10 bow,
The Eagle flaps his wings and cries,
We won at Polo, anyhow!"

WHEN A WOMAN TELLS BY RUTH AGNES ABELINC


As I walked between the borders or flowers toward the Ames home later in the afternoon, I couldn't help think ing of Philip Ames' words as he left me.
 I'd like to stay and take you home but it will be better, just now, if Lii doesn't see me flirting with her secretary" he said. He told me so much in that one sentence. And he set me back a | little, too, because it isn't comfort able to know that some other woman ! has precedence through either love or influence. 1 know that l haven't the least feeling of affection for Philip Ames, but it hurt my pride to know that he didn't want another woman to see him with me Perversity.
 Mrs. Ames was waiting for me, and trim little maid took me to her immediately.
 I'm going out for dinner tonight, and l have to get my things yet, SC we'll make this interview short. have decided to give you a trial
 I'm so glad-I shall try to please you" I murmured. When shall come?"
 Mrs. Ames relaxed, swung her sat in-slippered feet to the lounge on which she was sitting, caught her fin gers behind her head and looked at me intensely
 "I think you'll be someone very nice to have around" she said at length, ignoring my question. 'I hope you'll like me-I've never had any close women friends" Her mood suddenly changed.
 'I have a notion to let you do some things for me right now-can you?'
 Certainly" I said.
 Just let me see how you'll do it, '" She was opening the desk and get ting out paper, ink and enveopes. "I'll go to this" handing me an in vitation. Tell Marten I'm sorry but cant mail a check till next month.

My club dues I'll send right away Then there's this letter of condolence And Edith's baby-oh, yes, write her that I'm glad, then tomorrow I'll send you to buy something for her"
 She was running through a pack age of envelopes, and dropping some of them before me.
 I'll expect you to use your judg- ment about lot of things" she said. and whisked off in the direction of her bath !.
 An hour later she emerged, radiant.
 As she stood before her mirror, putting the last touch of powder on her lovely skin, light rap sounded at the door
 "Come,"
 Philip Ames stepped into the room l looked up with a smile. He seemed not to see me.
 You see, I've taken your advice T have a secretary and she is al ready at work. Miss Sorenson-let me present my brother-in-law, Philip Ames. You may as we'll meet, for you'll see each other often"
 With the most engaging smile. Philip Ames advanced. took my hand. bowed and murmured my name as though he had never had seen me be- fore.
 Stunned, I turned back to the desk and pretended to busy myself with the letters.
 You can finish the things you're working on and then do as you wish I'll expect you tomorrow at 10-and to stay then" Mrs. Ames and Philip were leaving.
 In the hall below l heard her in struct the maid to inform her hus- band that she was dining out and would not be back until late.
 At o'clock. when I had finished my letters and was leaving. I passed a man in the hall. I heard the maid deliver Mrs. Ames' message.

..Dead tden Tell No TsIesv

Thousands of vessels have been bought to be burned to salvage copper sheathing and other metal, but in all cases heretofore they have ceased to be of utility as sea carriers. Such was not the case with the vessel bought by Vitagraph for $45,O0O She was old. but staunch and seaworthy, and still in service as a freighter with the prob ability of several years of usefulness before her. It was her destiny, how ever, to be burned at sea and blown up with gunpowder in the production of Dean Men Tell No Tales" by E. w.

"I Am Guilty"


 In the opinion of many screen fans the closeup was devised as posing medium for the. star. Just as the cadenZa was created to show off the virtuoso qualities of the musician and as the monologue is the "solo" special ity of the stage player, so has the close-ups too often been employed to register" some effective angle of the stars physiogonomy.
 Louise Glaum, however. has proved to her public that she is an actress, first, last and all the time. A close up, in a Louise Glaum vehicle, such as come to the Lyric theatre today, under the title, q Am Guilty" is a rare thing, and when they do flash up- on the screen, they serve merely ,o intensity dramatic period in the story.
 The "poseuse" type of star certain ly does not include Louise Glaum, who is the eXemplification of the worker in every phase of her career before the camera. In 'I Am Guf:sy! -iiss Glaum has the most interesting role she has played since she became a J. Parker Read, Jr., star in Sahara |"
