LYCEuM HAS sNAPpY BILL.

Tonigh is the final showing of that excellent photodrama, The Country Flapper, starring Dorothy Gish, and lovers of really good motion pictures cannot afford to miss 1t. Replete with humor, having well defined plot and an exciting romance, it is delight full production. Tonight, also, will be the last showing of The Devils Cafe, the musical comedy tabloid offering by the Ginger Snap Revue. Tomor- row the musical comedy program will be completely changed. both as to songs, comedy, settings and dances. The picture will be Johnny Hines in Burn 'em up Barnes, tense drama of the automobile track.
 The Ginger Snap Revue has a chorus of eight young girls, all snappy and full of ginger. They dance about with abandon and chime in on the chorus of the song hits. Dave Shaft ner, the leading comedian, takes a Jewish character part.
 The announcement that the Lyceum is to present Harold c. Schwarm and wife in a vaudeville sketch during the week of March 26 is received with interest by theater goers. The notor- iety that this couple has received during the past few months makes the main attraction in themselves, and on top of that Schwarm professes to be singer of passing ability, while he brands the dancing his wife is to do as very rare".

them. for they were probably playing tho game just as was but I'm sorry that I haven't something to give to Leslie that never have given or, at least, never pretended to give to any other girl before.
 This love game. Syd, is q good deal of bluff, you know. We like to dance with this girl we like to talk with that girl, we like to buy flowers for another, and kiss still another, but when we find the real girl, the girl that we like to dance and talk with and buy flowers for, and kiss then we know that everything else was spurious and we are ashamed of all that has gone before.
 I know what you are saying-"atta boy, Jack" But, honestly. l am ser ious at last; when you see Leslie, you will know that l could not be other wise. Syd, the first moment that I looked upon her face l knew that if anything happened that I could not make her my wife l would be the most miserable of men. I was bowled over completely. She is little below medium height, with the most won drous blue eyes-eyes that at times look almost black; hair that in the sun is brilliant copper She has an indescribable complexion, like live alabaster lighted by flame, lips of scarlet, and teeth that make you try to keep her smiling.
 You may not know it, old chap, be- cause you have not met the girl yet, but there comes time in every mans life when he wants to settle down and become a decent member of society; when he is more than little ashamed of all his pecadillos. his small vices, his big follies and lis general cussed- ness. Then he is fortunate, indeed, if he finds a girl like Leslie. When you see her. Syd, you will know all am trying to convey.
 As for Paula Perier, have not seen her for long times I think she grew quite as tired of me as I was of her. neither had the time nor the money to spend that gold diggers like Paula expect.
 The thing that is worrying me now. however, is not my past as much as as my future. Leslie is the daughter of a very rich man, but. like all American fathers. he is holding his simoleons together very carefully. Neither of his daughters will get any thing until he dies. He believes that because he and his wife began on comparatively nothing and worked up. his daughters and the men they marry should be the same; but he forgets that he has not brought his daughters up to endure the hardships that his wife endured.
 have got to earn more money, and yet hate to give up my prospects as a member of this firm for a bigger salary somewhere else, just for the present. You see, dear old chap. the responsibilities of married man have begun already. JACK.

SALAD
By BERTHA E. SRAPLEICiH Of Columbia University

l In the spring the appetite is capri- cious. Nature is telling Us we need a tonic. How can we get it more invitingly than in salads?--green. crisp vegetables, fruit acids and the cil digestion needs.
 At least twice daily they should be served---for dinner, lettuce, romaine, chicory. endive or watercrcss, with oil. vinegar lemon juice and season. ings-for luncheon or supper, fruit, l with beaten cream and mayonnaise or mayonnaise alone, plus bread, per l1aps cream cheese, and a cup of cocoa, making a dessert and salad combined.
 Or one may offer cold meat, cut into thin pieces not more than an inch long. cold cooked vegetables and well-seasoned French dressing. Don't forget onions and. garlic--just enough to give the right flavor.
 One of the best salads consists of eliced tomatoes, sliced young onions and French dressing, with tiny pieces of pickled pears.
 For the best potato salad, the po- tatoes should be cooked in their IJ CkStS anu CUOlGu bSiOIS PCNilhS. Then they should be thinly sliced and mixed with very thinly-sliced oniops, and well seasoned with salt, pepper and enough oil to make each piece of potato shine. Cool, and in serving. add little more oil vinc- gar and chopped parsley. Lettuce or some green salad plant adds to attractiveness.
 Hard -boiled eggs. cooked dressing and watcrcress make an attractive main luncheon dish.
 For dandelion salad, dig the green when only an inch shows above cround--take up the white, green- tipped stalk. Thoroughly wash, dry and serve with hard boiled eggs and Gil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
 If one has served spinach and some is left, mix it with oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and mold it in cups or small molds. Turn onto slices or cold ham or tongue and garnish with any green salad plant.
 Worlds largest hotel, with 5000 rooms will be built in Chicago.

Letters afford an opportunity for evidencing culture and charm that never should bc neglected. The writ ten word never should be careless. for it usually is accepted literally and it may endure for ages. There is no gesture, no infection, no smile to help interpret the line one pens. If a let ter be anything but good tempered, it had better never be written.
 Letters.
 1. Invitations, acceptances, regrets and other social notes should be penned, never typewriter.
 2. Written words are a poor me- dium for the expression of emotions, whether they be anger, love or what not.
 3. No woman should ever write to any man letter that can be con- strued as foolishly sentimental or that implies intimacy.
 {. No man ever should write any letter in which here could be the slightest intimation that he has re- ceived special favors from a woman.
 5. Everyone should keep in mind

Letter From Sydney Carton to John Alden Prescott. My Dear Jack:
 I was quite surprised at your news as you had not mentioned to me be- fore the lady whom you are to wed. Are you sure it's a go this time? You know you have informed me so many times that you had met the one and only girl that. I shall never feel you arc safely married until I form one of the procession that follows you back out of the church door from the chancel rail.
 If you really mean it this time, old chap, I certainly will be your best man, and will try and get away to go with you to Sharon for the week of the pre-festivities. I ought to do this much for my best friend.
 can't help wondering just what that little Paula Perier is going to do? You know you've had d bad case on with her for long time, my boy. I'm seriously afraid she will cut up rough, aren't you? However, all such things have an end, you know, and possibly she will take it philosophical ly. But you certainly were very much interested in her.
 Of course I know she is the most beautiful, the sweetest, the dearest and the most wonderful girl in all the world, but you have told me that be- fore many times. Jack. I suppose there comes into every mans life at l.. .L,, ,t r4 loves, and makes future ones very difficult.
 I am anxious to sec your paragon, and l am buying new long-tailed coat purposely for the event. Do you want me to wear white spats? I'll even do that for you.
 You know we often wondered in our college days which one of us would be the first to marry. Honest. ly, Jack, I'm glad it's you, for I'm not ready to give up my liberty just yet not for the most wonderful girl in all the world"
 By the way, how docs that young protege of your mothers, Priscilla Bradford, take it? I always had q notion that Priscilla, with your moth- CTS abetting and help, would corral you, my boy. I'm glad she didn't, for honestly, she was kind of pain don't you think?
 I'll see you soon, Jack, for I have business engagement which will take me over to Albany soon. and I am anxious to know how you made your farewells to the little Paula.
 So long, SYDNEY.

Reaching the pond at last, the Gen. eral didn't stop 10 take off tho sun- bonnet, hut left it on as he waded into the water.
 He hadn't enjoyed swim all sum mer as much as that one, The water and the sunhonnet both helped to make him feel cool.
 T believe" he murmured, "I'll keep this sunbonnet-and wear it-- until Aunt Gussie asks me for it."
 It must have been an hour later when Grandma Goose got her flock together and led the way to the pond for swim.
 "I wish old dog Spot would hurry and bring me my sunbonnet." she said to herself, "If there ever was a time when needed it. it's today"
 Just as she pushed through the tall grass on the bank Of the pond Grand ma Goose looked down upon the wa ter and saw sight that made her gasp. \ stranger, wearing sunbon- net. was floating la2ily about near ihe middle of the pond,
 Now. who in the world can that bef' shc mnttered. "ENery one Of Inc Geese is right here behind mo, The only one of the flock that's missing is tho general. And he wouldn't be- wearing snnhonnet."
 Grandma Goose flung herself upon the water, and began to paddle to- wards the snnbonnetcd swimmer. The strangers back was turned upon Grandma. When she was within speaking distance she called out
 Don't you know that this pond is private property? Aren't you aware that 1t belongs to Farmer Grcen?"
 Then the stranger turned around. And Grandma Goose saw the face be. meath the sunbonnet.
 My sakes." she cried. Its the General!" Copyright. 1923, by Metropolitan
