Mrs. Fogarty it was never too late to

needle sticking in the last stitch of

awakened her, and when she opened
her eyes upon the gifts that had re-
placed the emptiness of the stocking

could only account for the kindness of

he left for his appointment. A light
shone through the frosted doors, but
all inside was silent as the tomb.
HE has gone alreadyi" she ex-
claimed to herself. Then she gently
tried the door. 1t opened to her hand.
Her eyes swept a vista of deserted
desks. How forlorn and irksome they
looked! But everyone was gone. No!
There at the end sat an oldish man.
1t was her husband 1t had never
struck her before that her husband
was beginning to be an oldish man. He
had not heard her. He was intent over
a statement with long columns of fig
ures. and he was making calculations
on a pad of paper before him.
From where she stood she could see
the gray tinge about his temples. and
the thinning hair on the top of his
head. His brow was set in deep fur
rows. And suddenly Friend Wife
found herself swallowing desperately
at something, in her throat Suddenly
she knew that there was no Party of
the Third Part, and never had been a
Party of the Third Part, and that she
was foolish wicked woman.
She drew the door gently shut. In
the basement of the building was a
restaurant, where also was a waiter
who, for consideration, would carry
a meal to her husbands Office Quickly
she gave the order, for two; it was
to be modest meal. not too expensive,
but healthful, and garnished with love.
The waiter carried 1t in and set it
down on the little correspondence table
beside Friend Husbands desk. And
n beautiful woman sat down beside it,
and held out her hands to the troubled
man with the long column of figures,
and smiled.
"Who are you? Who are your" he
demanded.

said. .

quently late. And he didn't seem
properly distressed over It. That was
what worried her most.
So Friend Wife learned to NOPE
little and to complain little, and to
wonder n good deal. And the more
she moped and complained the less
did Friend Husband hurry from the
office. The office had become his re
treat.
Moreover. there was the Party of
the Third Part. Friend Wife had
never seen the Party of the Third
Part, but she could not doubt her
existence. For n year back her hus-
band had forgotten to kiss her when
he went TO the office. and when he
came home. And on those rare nights
when he stayed at home he read the
newspaper. and yawned, and found the
time heavy on his hands. So you see
there must be a Party of the Third
Part.
This fear grlpped the little woman
so deeply that one night she deter
mined she would know the worst. Her
husband had not come home to dinner;
he had telephoned that he was very
busy In the office. He would just slip
out and have a bite. And he would
likely be late-don't sit up =.

THE HOUSE OF CHRISTMAS

To an open house in the evening
Home shall men come.
To an older place than Eden
And a taller town than Rome.
To the end of the way OF the wandering

To the things that cannot be and that
To the place where God was homeless
And all men are at home.

plains below, he faded out in yellow
splendor over stark white peaks that
guarded the widows valley from the
west.
The Widow Stately had been
widow even when she came into that
little nook in the foothills with her
son Frank, winsome lad of fourteen
or thereabouts. Here they had dug
in" with their little herd of helfers,
and Frank had plowed the valley field
for oats and potatoes. and, with the
help Of carpenter, they had built the
house of spruce logs where mountain
stream gurgled lullables in the still
nights.
At the end of the six years they
were on their feet. The fields had ex-
tended; the herd had grown; the cream
cans went down to town three times
a week: there was new furniture In
the log house and Tilt of song again
in the widows heart. But one new
pang was hers mother love could not
quite stifle. the pang when her hand

haired Allison girl from south of the
ridge.
At the end of that same six years
came the war. And now the Widow

Was it not Freddie who left the Stately

Then she had gone to town?
And tonight, as blanket of Christ

wax and wane in the glow of embers ::

That show was better than dag

1t was unashamedly melodrama of the
rankest sort. Nazimova has been ac-
claimed as one of the foremost artists
of the theater, yet she selects as a oe.
hicle for her return to the stage a play
that possesses not one scintilla of art
L wonder whether the movies have
marred the art of Nazimova. Or has
she heretofore been overrated as an
artist because Of the glamor of her per-
sonality and her early struggles?
Probably the movies are to blame.
She did about as she pleased in the
movies. There was no restraint upon
her. Unbridled now, she seems TO lack
discrimination. She stops to, browse
along the way and art lags behind.
"DGgmOr" is nothing more or less
than the story of loose woman told
in drab terms. The hySterical over
acting Of NazimOva and her hideous cos
tunes only emphasize the lack of color
in the play.
