MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS
 Adele Gnrrison's New Phase REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

| ing my brief colloquy with Dr. Aus tina tall, massive, old physician, ] with the white beard of the older generation, But when I had left the village behind and was sweeping
 along the state road to Southampton, with its long stretches of.unimproved
 meadow and woodland, my fears re- turned.
 They proved groundess, however, during the journey to the hospital, and l reached 1t without incident, and received carefully-wrapped package in return, which l wrapped again in an old scarf and deposited in one of the pockets.
 A glance at the illuminated dial of my wrist-watch told me that l had made most creditable time, indeed, and with a feeling that the road had been robbed of half it's terror by my travel over it. turned my car home ward with spirits much frightened.
 But Fate, having frightened me causelessly on the journey down, evi- dently determined to see what further mischief she could do. At any rate, had reached what seemed to my inn agination the very loneliest part of the state highway between the two Hamptons when the car began to slow up. at first mperceptibly With a gasping little realization of what was the matter. I guided the car to the side of the road just before the en- zine stopped entirely. I had run out of gas
 With a heartfelt anathema upon the carelessness which had let the sup ply run low. turned off the switch key, skipped out of the car and turned on the reserve. But as I climbed back into the car again, and after several trials got it started, I remembere with a little chill at my heart that upon two separate oc- casions the reserve which was sup posed to be ample for the distance between Southampton and the farn- house. had failed to get us there.
 I made mental calculation. I had an extra gallon of gas in container in the car But I had not the courage to wait to put it in m! tank in that deserted part of the wood. At Wat ! ermll there were street lamps. I would wait until I reached one Of them and there put the extra gallon in the tank.
 But when I alighted under tn. Watermill street light and bent over the gas tank I heard the sound of 1a,, t1s from down the road behind me

THE STORM IS A
 SUPERB PRODUCTION
House Peters and Virginia Vali at Their Careers Best, at FoX'S

The limited number of principals ir the cast of "The Storm" the Univer. sal-Jewel production which will be seen for the first time in New Brit ain at the Fox theater on Sunday Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night gives each of the three feat ured players an unusual opportunity for making his acting stand out prominently. House Peters, the star and Virginia Valli and Matt Moore make the most of their chances They give performance that is flaw less from an artistic point of view and one hundred percent. in enter tainment value.
 The play in all its magnificent ac- ton Is uncommonly gripping and af- lords an audience the keenest pleas ure and suspense. Virginia vali as the French Canadian orphan, loved by both Burr Winton and Dave Stew art is a lovable type and plays the part with q deep understanding and sympathy that is winning her wioe- spread commendation.
 "The Storm presents the struggle between the two lovers to win the girl and the attempt of Manette to play fair with both of them. The demands for a happy ending are met in an unusual, but natural way tlrnt sends everyone home happy.
 Fire Scene.
 The portrayal of the storm and fire scenes are master strokes of stage management and reflect great credit cn Universal Director Reginald Bar ker and his associates. None of the stupendous grandeur of Langdon Me Cormick's scenic spectacle has been lost in the film, rather it has been enhanced by virtue of the wider lat itllde given tn the camera

Now, Jimmy Rabbit didn't really care to call on the Skunk family, But Henry Skunk was SO eager to show Jimmy his winter quarters that Jim my didn't know how to decline the invitation. So they set out together for the farmhouse
 They set out together; but they couldn't keep together. Henry couldn't-o wouldnt-hurry Jim- my Rabbit wouldnt-or couldn't dawdle. He had to move briskly
 Stop. Wait for mel" Henry Skunk kept calling
 But Jimmy Rabbit always found himself at least three jumps ahead of Henry q moment after they had start cd even again.
 At last, just as they came to the henhouse, Henry Skunk said to him: Go ahead. Don't wait for me. Tell be home soon. It will be all right My wife loves company"
 So Jimmy Rabbit went alone to Henry Skunk's new home under the woodshed, He walked right in And then he walked right out again. For Mrs. Skunk ordered him out. She even threatened him. And she wouldn't listen to any explanation.
 Jimmy Rabbit sat down outside waited a long time But Henry Skunk did not appear.
 T know he's slow walker" Jim my Rabbit said to himself, but he can't be as slow as this. I'll see what's happened to him"
 Going back to the henhouse, he found Henry Skunk still there. He was digging-digging a hole under the building.
 Your wife wouldn't let me stay in your house" Jimmy Rabbit told him.
 Co back" said Henry Skunk i'm patiently, and tell her it's all right. Say that I stopped to get chicken, and I'll be along soon
 Still Mrs Skunk ordered Jimmy Rabbit to get out of her new house. Again he waited before the door. And after while Henry Skunk arrived, carrying a chicken with him
 She made me leave second time" Jimmy explained
 It's because she hadn't anything for you to eat" said Henry Skunk My wife loves company She loves company SO much that she can't bear to have any guests when she can't give them a treat. I'll show her this chicken, and then she'll insist on my bringing you in"
 He vanished through his doorway, to reappear in few minutes.
 My wife says I didn't bring home a big enough chicken for company" he told Jimmy Rabbit You'll have to come again some other time" Henry Skunk then turned to enter his house again He seemed to be. in hurry for once in his life.
 And then he paused Please excuse me-" he said If I don't get back quickly there won't be any chicken left for me" Then he made a dive his doorway,
 Jimmy Rabbit was pleased that his visit turned out as if did. He didn't like chicken, anyhow And he didn't care to be a guest of the Skunk fam ly. no matter how much Mrs. Skunk owed company.

 For I was afraid. deadly so. I was ashamed of my fear. but I was com- pelled to admit it's existence. Never before had I been so physically tinorous as I was upon this drive.

New York. Sept 16.-Can two soul inhabit one body? Or can one sou inhabit two bodies? And if the latter holds true, what happens to one sou when the other dies?
 Deep stuff
 Dusk to Dawn" Florence Vidor's latest picture, puts forth the idea that the subconscious self may have a soul separate and apart from that of the conscious soul. The subcon- scious soul belongs to an Indian beg gar maid. It takes possession of the body as soon as the conscious self goes to sleep. Thus the heroine will not marry the hero until her dream soul dies. She may give her con- scious soul to him. but the subcon- scious soul belongs to a handsome rajah to whom she has given her self in a dream marriage.
 Such a complication leads to rather humorous situation, although the picture it seriously.
 The heroine is unable to keep awake as she sits in an auto She falls asleep and finds herself in the arms of her dream husband. When she awakes she finds her earthly hero kissing her and, still under the influence of dream, finds the kiss the same as that of her ethereal raiah.
 Of course, when she fully awakens, her everyday working soul knows that it's improper to let the young nabob kiss her. Such are the handi- caps of a soul that makes itself evil dent.
 Those who believe in dreams" will find support for their belief in Dusk to Dawn" The heroine's brother has fled the country She tries to find him. Her dream self meets him in India When she awakens she knows her brothers address and cables to him, Come home, all is we'll"
 King Vidor waded in water too deep for his talent when he directed Dusk to Dawn" Vidor's special fort is in the handling of simple themes, and in the development of characterizations This talent was best exemplifed in The Jack Knife Man." one of the screens masterpieces.
 Vidor had two separate stories to tell in Dusk to Dawn" That was complication enough, yet he en- deavored to include in the action lot of melodramatic stuff to give the film punch" As a result the inter weaving of the two stories is rather

 Well, not exactly" replied Henry Skunk. T mean to make my home under the woodshed.'
 And that was just what he did. There was no cellar beneath the woodshed. Henry Skunk dug a hole under one of the sills. And as soon as he had the hole finished he brought Mrs Skunk down to see their winter quarters. She liked them. They moved in at once. And Farmer Green knew nothing about his new tenants.
 Now and then Jimmy Rabbit used to meet Henry Skunk in the garden It was still early in the fall, and the root crops had not yet been gathered and stored in the vegetable cellar.
 You must come to see my house" said Henry Skunk early one morn- ing, before Farmer Greens family Yas up.

JIMMY RABBIT HAS AN INVITA-
 TON

Henry Skunk was a slow-going per son. He never would move fast for anybody, not even to get out of a neighbours way. But that was all right The neighbors never argued with him. It was simpler to step aside for Henry, if they happened to be in a hurry.
 Henry Skunk was no great travel CT. And when fall came, he declared that he wasn't going to spend the winter in the woods. He intended to live where he could get a good meal without going a mile for it. He ex- pected to move his family right down 10 the farmhouse.

BERTHA COLLARS AGAIN

Very wide bertha collars are being shown for autumn wear. When they are of the sort that come with the dress they are often made of the ma terial itself and trimmed with em- broidery or beading.
 When they are of the detachable variety they are usually made of sheer lace or net trimmed with lace. They open front and back or only in the back
 The soft transparent folds of the very wide ones are most becoming from which 1t is safe to argue that their popularity is assured.
 Afternoon, evening daytime and negligee frocks all use them impar- tially, and so do garments for chill dren, grown-ups and in-betweens.

 You converse with them as you would with older persons. drawing out their ideas and encoura ging them to express themselves. Their ability to converse well will rob them of the self-consoiousness that marks so many social failures
