THE HOUSE OF CARDS. BY Hannah

"HIS reviewer was home, sick
with a cold, unable to talk

of that. The situation called for "A
GOOD buck--no matter what kind.
The package arrived this morning,
bursting in on a lovely morning sleep.
There it was, the good story, pointing
a darling little Colt revolver right at
us! And then when we had recovered
from the shock we looked further and
read the title, followed by the consid-
crate publishers foreword of the de-
lights in store for the reader:
"a man well known in certain cir
cles of New York life, a high liver, a
connoisseur of wines, women and
horses and one of the most slxillful
card players in the metropolis, is
found in his big lonely house at day.

ment in the end. She finally realizes
that IL was not tenderness for any man
that moved her to ecstasy, IL was only
the desire to express herself. in some
final elimination of achievement; she
recognizes that i'm each man she loves
something that is more than himself.
1t is only when she throws herself
in the cause of social justice that she
realizes how great idea can subdue
any personal emotion. strong though
IL may be. In her work she realizes
how pitifully women still struggle
with their desire for love and protec-
ton from man, and the conflict that
must arise from their necessary com
petition with men in business. II is
a deadly feud that will spoil the sense
of idyllic dreams in women. The
struggle for bread is greater than the
desires OF the flesh.
What will be the inevitable outcome?
To this Nine Marx gives answer. The
old relationship between man and
woman must pass away. They will be
equals in every sense. Marriage will
be guided by prudence rather than
romance. And when women have con-

describes the greater love. the love

love. The passage is SO beautiful that

this review.
In the newspaper office where she
worked she had met PHILIPPE, with
whom she carried on a violent affair.
And yet through her blind infatuation
for the hard. shrewdly sentimental

truth;

GX you know, the circus people
are clean, decent, honest
men and women and carry
their family life about with them, too.
OF course a big show can't be ham,
pered with a lot of children. But
sometimes when it's a case of going
without a big act on account of a
youngster in the family, they make
concessions. That was the way Fairy
Dell happened to travel with the big
top; they wanted the Queen of the
Arena cher mother), you see."
The story is in three parts. but
about the same people In the first
the big hearted circus people give a
performance before the hospital for
crippled children that they may enjoy
what otherwise they would miss. The
second is the story of Fairy Dell and
how she goes to the circus to which
years before when she was baby she
belonged. along with her parents. And
the last story is how a naughty boy
became naughtier and went to the cir
Gus. but father was waiting TO end the
pleasant day in the woodshed.
