that Richard was coming. She
liked him better and better all

greeted her caller that evening.

right to think about correct dress.

knowing the facts might accuse
me Of extravaganza.

owing me was paid me six weeks
ago. I supposed that Muir's
money, which my friend had
asked me to put into his deal.

So I ordered this suit and the
clothes I wore at Hopatcong, and
paid for them in advance for fear
I might spend the cash on some-
thing I needed less"

is CLEVER PICTURE.

y ~
What is declared an unusually
clever Paramount picture, The
Silent Partner" with Leatrice Joy
wen Moore and Robert Edeson, is
the attraction at the Rylander
Theatre on Wednesday.
Miss Joy, as Lisa Coburn, finds
that her husband is specializing In
the stock market and tells him that
as long as he wins she will stick by
him, but when he loses he loses her
this, not because She does not
love him, but rather, to save him
from himself, because the young
wife has seen sad example in a
friend, successfully young man,
who gave up a good position 20
speculate, only to meet with dis
aster.
Coburn success and Lisa
takes advantage Of this by making
him give her much money for ex-
pensive gowns, pearls and the like.
But instead of spending the money,
Lisa deposits it in bank. Thus
when the crash comes she is pre-
pared.
All goes well until, through ac-
cident, Coburn comes upon all the
evidence Of his wife's evident dup
lefty in her writing desk. He will
not listen to her explanations and
leaves-only to be reunited with
his wife when both confess their
mutual shortcomings.
