Why Madge Told Lillian About Her
 Ti0 With Dicky

The voices of Lillian and Mrs Marks died away down the hail. then sounded again close to my ears, ana ,ca,lzed that they had come into inc bedroom of the Marks apartment, separated from my kitchen only by the thinnest of walls.
 "Just dump them on the bed' my neighbor said, and thank you, dearle, for helpin' me down with 'em Ana I'll remember everythin' you said Hut I'm scared
 "Ill sec you again soon," Lil- Han assured her, and in few more sec onds I heard the Marks door close ,pcn another excited observation that Lillian was "as square and me as Mis- Graham, and that's sayin' some- fhin'."
 I opened the kitchen door cautious Iy as Lillian came past if, and nolse- lessly followed her to the living room'
 "I am simply bursting with curl osity," I whispered when l had closed the door, "Of course 1 know you helped her carry the furs back, and from her words and infections l can see you have her eating out Of your hand. but what did you find out? or don't you want to tell me-"
 Lillian Is Measuring
 added the query because I had caught a familiar expression in lll- Hans eyes, one which means that she wishes to work out a problem on her own. I had not realized that Mrs. Marks and her peculiar surroundings presented anything more to Lillian than . chance to aid me in dealing with Dicky's protege. But in LAi- Hans suddenly lined forehead l saw that something beyond any personal problem was interesting her, and l regretted my quizzing.
 Frankly, I-don't-just know" Lil- Han replied slowly. I've stumbled upon-something-surprising-to me, and I want not only time but the sense of being absolutely unham- peied by personal relations while working the thing out. l will tell you this, however," she flashed a brilliant smile at me-'you were part ly right about those fur garments. They are not half as guilty as they look"
 A Timely Interruption
 "pm glad of that" I returned heartily, hoping that Lillian would not see any involuntary chagrin that Mira Marks evidently had conilded far more to her than she had to me.
 .I knew you would be-" Lillian answered, and followed her assertion with question:
 "when Is Dicky going to Michigan with his mother?"
 "Just as soon as Mother Graham can get ready. probably fin two or three days"
 "And when is Dicky going out to the farm?"
 T don't know" I replied. had not confined to Lillian the details of Dlcky's abrupt departure.
 She threw shrewd glance at me.
 "How would you like to sublet your apartment to mo while Dicky and his mother are gone and you are at the farm?" she queriqd with smile at the word "sublet." She knew that If she had used the word seriously I should have been deeply offended.
 I grinned involuntarily.
 Tt was what Dicky suggested when he went away this evening"" said demurely. "Tt will be an-especial--. dellght--to me to tell him that have followed his advice.

GALLAGHER AND SHEAN

That gay and galloping antic, the
Greenwich Village FOllies, comes to
the Playhouse, Wilmington, Saturday,
matinee and night, June T.
This is the fourth in the famous
Greenwich Village revue succession
devised and staged by John Murray
Anderson, and it is hailed by the
critical press of New York, Boston
and Philadelphia as the most anus
ing and artistic spectacle yet offered
in this electric series. For an entire
season the outstanding revue hit of
New York, it's current tour has been
the most successful yet enjoyed by
any of the Village series.
The most populous and expert com
pany yet employed in a Greenwich
Village Follies is hilariously active in
the current show. Heading the long
list of notables is Mr.. Gallagher and
Mr.. Shean, the famous singing come
dams, who have just returned from
voluntary exile of three months
brought about by an adverse court
decision in a litigation between rival
managers over their unique and eX-
traordinary" services. Other celebri-
ties who exercise their varied talents
in this fleet spectacle are: Carl Ran
dali. Ula Sharon, George Rasely, John
Maize Clifton and Billie De-
Rex, Ethel Davis, Chase and LaTour,
Dorothy Neville. Louis and Frieda
Julia Silvers, George Chris
tie, Marjorie Peterson, Roger Davis,
Roberts. George Clifford, and
the singularly naive and vivid beau
ties who make up the artists model
group of thirty.
The Greenwich Village Follies is
in quite a different key and
tempo from the conventional routined
revue. It has a delicacy of line and
scene, an artistry of mounting and
and a magic of construc
ton that quite distinguishes it from
it's fellows. In this phase it but re-
fleets the rare imagination and genu- |
inc good taste of its creator, John |
Murray Anderson.

BASE BALL AT LINCOLN
ON DECORATION DAY

Well folks, the Harrison Church
League team is coming to Lincoln on
Friday (Memorial Day. strong, in
fact the management of that team has
informed us that we are in for two
hard games.
However, the local boys are pre-
pared for anything they care to bring
along and are practicing hard every
evening, weather permitting.
Further a large crowd IS expected
to witness both games and in order
to properly take care of said crowd
there is being a grandstand erected
which when completed will seat in the
neighbOrhOod of E50.
With favorable weather and proper
financial support, there is every in
dfcation that Memorial Day in Lin
coin will be a huge success. The point
which we hardly believe is necessary
to emphasize is that of financial
support" as everyone of our fans
realize fully just what it means to
bring a team from Wilmington for
couple of games of ball.
The probable batteries for the two
games which start at 1890 a. m. and
8 p. M, are as follows:
Harrison: Skura and Reiner Ga. m.)
-Leight and Reiner (p. M; Lincoln:
Willis or Clark and Pinder "a. m.)-
Brittingham and Pinder (p. m.)
All right Mr.. Umpire, let's go. Play
ball Here's hoping for a good day,
Friday. What do you say?
Too bad, friends, old "Jupe Pluv"
prevented us from finishing the game
at Wyoming last Saturday, as we be-
lieve it would have been ball game.
The score stood 8 to 2 with Wyoming
on the big end when it started rain
ing.
However. these two teams will hook
up again in the near future and you
can look forward to good game of
ball.
While as yet nothing definite has
been done, we expect or rather hope
to go to Milton on Saturday to play
the Milton team. By the way, this Mil
ton team has strengthened consider
able since they were in Lincoln last
and if we do play them Saturday, we
will have our hands full to bring
home the "bacOn."
At any rate, we hope to have some
thing definite to announce at the
games Friday.

Alton Packard
CartOonist
Joy Night

A "Joy Night" program by Alton
Packard, humorist extraordinary and
master cartoonist, will be a feature of
this years Chautauqua program here.
When Alton Packard begins to talk
and sketch, the spirit of fun and mer-
riment sweeps through the big brown
tent in waves of increasing frequency
and volume until the great audience
is rocking with laughter in one con-
tinuous peal. The humOrist-cartOoni
rapidly sketches American types, COM
menting upon their peculiarities and
eccentricities, their vanities and vir-
tues, sparing none and often indulg-
ing in stinging satire. Packard is far
ahead of the ordinary stage cartoon
ist. The fun rises to its height in a
series of original songs, and Mr.. Pack
ard responds with one encore after
another. The American home scene in
charming colors with the eloquent ap-
peal for the American home ideal,
brings "Joy Night" to a fitting con-
with the best a. the last.
Alton Packard's unique skill at
quickly sketching pictures and car
toons in black and white and color is
made doubly effective by his fluent
speech, his rich. exhilarating humor
and the extraordinary cleverness with |
which he sings his original songs.

TTE MAY have been a grocer's clerk,
Who dealt in tea and lard
He may have been the gawky
youth,
Who ralsed a village yard;
However humble his estate,
He is exalted now;
The unknown soldier Ger whose dust
Memorial Day we bow.
He may have fought in Union blue.
With Grant or Sheridan;
He may have charged with Roosevelt
up
The hill at San Juan;
He may have died on Flanders Field,
Where scarlet poppies spread
Their silken petals like tent
Above the gallant dead.
His comrades may have called him
Pat,
Or Dominick or Bill
Before he heard the bugles sound
Their summons loud and shrill;
War reached a bloody finger out
And smeared away his name;
But freedom folds him in the flag
And loves him just the same.
So on this day of memories
When lavishly we strew
Gold hearted daisies over him,
And lilacs starred with dewi
We think not of the past he played
In battles lost or won,
But that beneath the garland sleeps
Some mothers soldier son.

DECORATION DAY is
TIME TO REMEMBER
Period That Marks Deeds of
Nations Brave Men.

WDECORATIoN DAY" as so many
II of us love to call May Both, was,
FIRST Of all, a day set apart as sacred
to the memory Of our fallen heroes
of the Civil war. It was a day on
which with ceremonial gatherings and
floral offerings we honored the ma
tion's dead. Lessons of patriotism and
loyalty were instilled into the minds
and hearts Of our young people and
we were all made conscious of the
debt Of gratitude which we, as Amer
ican citizens, owe to those who had
given their lives in the service of
their country.
And If, at the present time for
many Of the younger generation, the
day has come to be more like a ma
tiOnal holiday devoted to games and
amusements, 1t still holds a sacred
significance In the hearts of many,
not as a holiday, but as a day given
over to sweet and tender memories
of the ones who have passed away
from our mortal sight, bu9 to whose
lowly resting place we may carry our
flowers, as a fragrant testimonial of
our love and affection. Few there are
but on Decoration Day" make this
pilgrimage Of love to the last resting
place of some dear one, and for this
reason May Both is a day that brings
all human hearts together in a bond
Of mutual sympathy and friendliness.
We never forget the dear ones we
have loved and lost, but 1t is we'll
that on this day we pay especial
tribute to their memory.
But there is another special fea-
ture Of Decoration Day" that is not
observed as it should be by many
people. We still have with us a few
of the veterans of the Civil war. Bent
and feeble they are, and every year
their ranks are growing thinner, and
these, too, deserve to be remembered
and honored on Decoration Day"
They should not be felt to feel forgot
ten and unhOnOred, and so, on this
''DecUrarlon Day" of 1924:
Let us turn to the war-scarred veterans
In the rank and file today,
The few that are left of the many
Who bravely marched away,
Let US tender our grateful homage.
And garland each honored head.
Let us cheer the living heroes
While we honor the nations dead.
