NH ed the proceedings of the
upper house of Congress-
4 which are designated as an
executive session of the Senate, and
| tie general public has come to ac-
cept it as a rather weird performance;
one that perhaps has signs. grips,
passwords and all the other things
that go to make up the doinGs OF
secret orders. For years there has
been mad scramble on the part of
the public to know just what went on
behind the closed doors. each of which
was jealously guarded by doorkeep-
er, who would not even let you get
within ten feet of the portals he was
guarding. while if you asked to be
allowed to hear an echo of what was
going on inside his face took on "a
look similar to that Of Coldstrealn

of the republic. grab up your hat and

an executive session. But here is

There is z suggestion that the de-

The Third-Party Plans.

A halt seems to have been called on
the third-party talks. Promoters of the
third party scheme are believed to
have recast their plans. They have
decided not to force the fighting at so
early Il stage of the game.
They started out brashly, as if the
time was ripe. the way clear and all
cupy the land.
II did not take them long to discover
their mistake. While they found dis
content it was not as deep or general
as they had imagined. Not every man
raising his voice against the existing
order of things and impatient with
existing party organizations was ready
to break away from old party affilia-
tions and pledge himself to help smash
what he did not altogether like. The
purpose declared was to wait awhile
and watch developments.
But the third party scheme has by
no means been abandoned. on the
contrary, its projectors are busy men,
taking account Of all that is going on.
Busy. but not now vocal.

WIFE VS. vAMP THEME
 OF "TOO WISE WIVES"

Stories of wifely devotion pitted against "near-vamp" intrigues have often been depicted upon screen and stage, but so nearly does Too Wise Wives" Lois Weber's new produc- ion, which will be seen at the Lib 3rtv theatre for the last time to- night, approach everyday life in its emotional intensity that the spectator only sees it's realism.
 The story concerns the lives .. of two married couples. the David Ora hams and the John Dalys. Mrs. Ora ham is woman imbued with faith full wifely devotion. Her husband s inclined to be tickle and dreams of his old sweetheart, who is mar ried.
 "Too Wise Wives" is a vivid oln- iictment of sham matrimonial vows. Claire Windsor and Louis Calhern are in the leading roles.
