STAGE AND SCREEN

Thursday should be an suspicious will see the opening of the new Strand theater, the city's million dol- lar playhouse. The management is not announcing the opening program in its entirety and some wonderfully attractive surprises may be expected.
 To the older heater patrons who remember the opening night of Fox's theater more than a decade ago there is no doubt but that the opening bill will be exceptionally good. Those fortunate enough to see tho other opening saw a bill which brought some of the country's fore- most talent and I. J. Hoffman and the contaras Brothers and Perakos certainly will not be outdone by that ten year old memory.
 The management will have as it's guests on the openi..g night some of the leading theatrical magnates from all over New England and New York. For the opening night only, all seats are reserved and go on sale Monday. Thereafter however, one block will be reserved each night while the other seats will be of first come. first served" variety.
 The entrance to the Strand will without doubt bt the most brilliant ly lighted of any in New England, say the owners. This seems like an elaborate statement. but the man. agement insists 1t Is fact and prom ises wonderfully pleasant surprise

me, and my knowledge of the an- guish which both he and his father had endured because of Jack Leslie's despicable treachery, I found it hard to keep my own voice steady as l answered her.
 Forgive me. Mary, dear" l said at last. T know how distasteful ad- verse comments upon ones friends are. but surely your acquaintance ship with this young cabaret dancer has not progressed to the point where you would believe his story against almost overwhelming proof that another version was the correct one"
 She looked at me thoughtfully. and I saw that my shaft had penetrated the outer defense of her emotions and reached her brain.
 No, it hasn't" she said, "but he sure was plausible"
 The Dancers Cunning Revealed
 He would be-" I returned. trying to keep the bitterness out of my voice. but has 1t not occurred to you that it was rather a presump- tuous thing for him to bother you with his personal history upon so slight an acquaintance
 He didn't until today" she said. and then really had to drag it out of him. When l said that I was studying with Mir. Veritzen he made an involuntary exclamation of such disgust that l insisted he tell me what he meant. So, you see you're blaming the poor fish for something that wasn't his fault at all."
 Heroically I suppressed the de- risive smile at her gullibility which already was wreathing my lips. How adroitly the cabaret dancer had i'm proved the opportunity which her mention of Philip Veritzen's name had given him, an opportunity for which l knew he must have been waiting with all the persistence of Q cat at a mouse hole.

A daring and highly ornamental trimming is a feature of the evening gown sketched today. A sheath-like slip of peach-colored satin is orna- mented on one side with an applique in the shape of large flowers and leaves. This is velvet the same color as the dress, embroidered and out lined with silver bugles and small briliants.
 This trimming alone would in- sure distinction. But in addition there are delicate fringes of bugles and rhinestones attached to the appliques or the lower portion of the skirt. This feature breaks the stiff look of the very straight sil- houette as well as supplying an additional note of brilliance. The looped sash on one side is pink velvet held in place by a band of rhinestones.
 A frock of this character is an essentiol item in the wardrobe of Well-dressed woman. It is in- tended for formal occasions on ac- count of its sumptuous trimming. The clinging lines of the narrow skirt. the sash and the V-shaped neck-line. both back and front, strike the final note of smartness.
 AppiiGucs of peach velvet are trimmed with silver buglcs and edged with bugle and rhinestone fringe.

Ever Do Anything To Your Hafr?" She Asked

Marie's delft clever fingers rub some kind of sweet-smelling oint- ment into her hair. | My mother never uses anything but a little rice powder to take | the shine off her nose" she began. ! And then, all at once, she won- dered to what lengths her mother might have gone to keep her youth and good looks, If her husband i had lived-the handsome, devil may care husband who had squan- dered a fortune on cards and race horses and swift living.
 But Jack would love me just the same if I looked like the last day of a weekend party,f she told herself. I'm not afraid Of grow ing old. Perfect love easteth out fear."
 Marie's shop, the Powder Box. was almost as fussy and feminine as powder box could be. There were pcarl-gray carpets On the floor of the waiting room, and pearl gray silk walls. and title lav- endcr chairs with lavender smok- ing stands beside them.
 On a glass ease in one corner is one great bottle of perfume. one fat white jar of cold cream, one slender eyebrow pencil, one box of "compleXion bIoom.' Just one of each kind.
 The name Of The Powder Box was stamped across all of these frivolous articles and Marie dragged down several thousands of dollars a year from the sale of them. Before the glass case, when Honey Lou stepped into the room on her way out of the shop, stood Suzanne Clemens and Daisy Deane.
 "Oh, hello, Beautiful." they greeted her. Where's Angeia?"
 Honey Lou looked blank. T don't know." she answered. T haven't heard from her all day"
 She was coming down here this afternoon" Suzanne was saying, when Mario's contralto voice called
 She just left" she told them. I took care of her just before Mrs. Wallack came"
 Honey Lou's thoughts flew to the empty box that had stood on the dressing table in that room when she went in. Could it be that the wonderful color of Angela's pale gold hair came out of a box marked White Henna?" She won dered.
 Sit down while we have our nails done and we'll go to a movie tOgethcr,' Suzanne proposed. "Or and put on a couple of pounds of weight instead? Or what have you!"
 They wound up by going shop ping instead.
 T can always buy things" su- zanne said at half past five when they carried their bundles to the parking space where she kept her car. No matter how tired l am of everything else in the world men, movies and married life - ] never get tired of shopping"
 She and Honey Lou drove home trough the February darkness.
 DO you know, I'd give anything in the world to be ln your shoes.' She gave Honey Lou a keen glance as she spoke, and nodded her head conWncingiy.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. NORRIS TISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Association and of Hygeia

BY DIR. NORRIS TISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hyseia
 the Health Mag.znic
 Of all the diseases of the skin that affect the human body, one of the most annoying is called psoriasis In this disease, the skin becomes inflamed and there develop round patches which are red at their base and which are covered by dry, white scales.
 These patches slowly enlarge never developing into blisters, but continuing to give off scales. The disease usually begins on the backs of the arms and the front of the legs, just below the elbows and knees, and may involve also the scalp and the lower part of the back, but seldom appears on the face.
 The disease continues for months and years, sometimes better, some- times worse. The patient is seldom disturbed in general by the condi- tion, except by its annoying appear ance and the development Of the scales.
 A disease of this type has been treated by all of the methods known to medical science, and the fact that so many methods have been suggest ed is an indication that none has ia11 ip-a good specialist in diseases of the skin is able to clear up the lesions temporarily by the use of proper drugs, and usually recommends a change in the diet involving reduc- ion of protein substances and of meat.
 In a recent consideration by the leading specialists in diseases of the skin of Great Britain, it was pointed out that the best results today are secured by local treatment, with at- tention to the general hygiene Of the body, and that the value of the va rlous special forms of treatment mentioned in medical literature have not yet been established.
 X perscn who suffers with this disease will do well to select a spe- Cialist in diseases of the skin and to follow the general routine laid down.
 The chronic character of the dis ease and it's apparent incurabilty cause persons affected 10 travel from one specialist to another, and to con- suit all sorts of fads and qudckery in their search for relief. Until some specific curative method is discov- cred, they will in this way merely waste funds which might better be conserved for useful treatment.

Suzanne laughed. It was not a happy laugh, but sharp, bitter one that cracked like ice.
 You have everything that ! want" she said.
 "What?" Honey Lou was pug zled. Tt seems to me you have everything there is to have. su- zanne. You're pretty and smart and brainy-"
 Well. I wasn't brainy enough to keep my husband happy when I had him." Suzanne's voice cut in like a knife. When he wanted me to have children l told him I wasn't going to turn my house into an incubator. And we never had any time to ourselves. l packed the place with people and had parties all the time. until he just got good and sick of it, I guess, Anyway we had one awful row and could knock you for a couple of Gene Tunneys because you beat her to it. She was always crazy about Jack, and still is, if you ask me-"
 For the hundredth time. Honey Lou thought how much Suzanne was like One-Armed Annie. Su- zanne had more money and more education and better clothes-but, under her skin, she was Ann's sis ter, just as Rosie O'Grady and the Colonels lady are sisters under their skins.
 She laughed. and then her face sobered suddenly.
 If Angela cares about Jack it's the way a sister would love a brother, I think" she answered thoughtfully. And, of course, she and I are the greatest kind of friends-we're like sisters, almost"
 She waited for Suzanne's reply. But Suzanne merely blew a long jet of cigarct smoke from her lips and began to hum Horses" in her light voice.
 That reminds me. want to see Angela about something," Honey Lou went on. Drop me at her house instead of my own, will you?"
 She found Angela dressing to go to the theater with Timothy Done- gal. She was sitting before her silver-lined toilet table in white lSimono, and rubbing toilet water into her scalp. Her gilt hair was all around her in a shin ing cloud.
 What wonderful hair you have!" Honey Lou's eyes were full of ad- miration as she dropped down on cushioned stool beside her. But tell me something-do you ever do any, thing to it?"
 She was startled by the look of fury that flashed into the gentle face between the wing of shining yellow hair. It was a look that stung like cupful of ice being thrown full in her own face.
 What do you mean?' Angela asked. .'Is that why you stopped in to see me? To ask me if l bleach my hair like burlesque queen"
 She looked as if she were going to burst into tears. and Honey Lou jumped up and put her arms around her. No no, Angie, dear" she tried to soothe her. But you know it is-almost too beautiful to be real"

Mary Tells Why Leslie Was Bitter
 Toward Veritzen

Mary Tells Why Leslie Was Bitter
 Toward Veritzen
 I waited for Mary Harrison's an- swer to my belittling speech con- corning Jack Leslie with far more tension than l permitted to appear in my face. I had made it purpose ly to see if it would draw from her the resentment and impassioned de- fense of the cabaret dancer which she had uttered before.
 For the discovery that Paul" was a myth, an invention of her own, and that Jack Leslie was the first young man to whom she had ever talked, had made me realize that the problem presented by her acquaintanceship with the night club entertainer was one to which l must bring every bit of finesse that pos sessed. and concerning which l must neglect no bit of information, however slight, that l could gather.
 But either her first tempestuous defense of the youth had been only such as she would accord anyone whom she thought unjustly malign- ed. or else she had decided that my uneasiness concerning him which she had shrewdly fathomed - de- manded especial wariness on her part. At any rate, her voice was not rancorous: instead it held an amusing note as she said calmly:
 T don't know, of course, what Uncle Dicky's reasons are for dis liking him, but don't you thnk that your prejudice against him may ge partly because you only have heard Mir. Veritzen's side Of the story?"
 Jack Leslie's Defense
 Have you heard MT. Lesie's side, Nary" l asked quietly.
 She flushed, but her eyes met mine steadfastly.
 "Yes," she said. He told me how Mr. Veritzen had bounded him out of college because of something which his own son had done"

Danny Meadow Mouse didn't know just what to do. He didn't want Nanny Meadow Mouse to return and find him in her house, yet he didn't want to leave it, for fear that Chat terer the Red Squirrel might return. So Danny was quite at a loss as to what he ought to do. He was still trying to make up his mind when a rather sharp, squeaky voice cried eAoitedly, Danny Meadow Mouse! Danny Meadow Mouse. Is that really you. Danny Meadow Mouse?"
 Danny looked down. There was Nanny Meadow Mouse looking up at him as he sat in the doorway of her home. Danny looked rather shame faced and hung his head. Yes, Nanny said he, "yes it is really me. LII didn't mean for you to find me here. You see I just had to see where you were living, and then Chatterer the Red Squirrel came and
 T know" replied Nanny softly. T saw and heard all that happened.'
 Danny fidgeted for few moments. He wasn't at all comfortable. He was ill at ease. T guess I'd better be going along" said he after a few minutes"
 Going where?" inquired Nanny.
 "Oh, anywhere" replied Danny with a shrug. T guess it doesn't much matter where l go.'
 Nanny said nothing for a few minutes. Then she cluckled. It was a funny, squeaky little chuckle. Danny looked at her suspiciously. He didn't know just what to make of it.
 You're funny" declared Nanny. "Yes, sir, you're funny, Danny Meadow Mouse. The idea of talking about going away when you've just got home"
 But this isn't my home" said Danny. This is your home"
 Nanny looked up quickly. Who says it isn't your home!' inquired

 NO, I'd never have mine bleached-not in a hundred years," she firmly declared. If it turned as gray as an elephants trunk. I'd never have a thing done to it."
 In the glass she could see Maiie smile to herself. "Oh. yes you would, Mrs. Walack," she saic out of her wisdom. "You wait til you start getting old. and you'll be like all the rest of the women. Dieting and bleaching and painting them- selves up-trying to keep some man in love with them."

 Suddenly Danny remembered the handsome young stranger with whom he had had a fight. What was that young Meadow Mouse doing over here?" he asked suspiciously.
 If a Meadow Mouse could gigge, Nanny would have gisgled. T sus- pect,' said she, looking very demure, that he was coming to see me. Didn't you think him handsome, Danny?'
 Danny gritted his teeth. If you would rather have him than me, I'll leave right away" said he grossly. "I'll leave and I'll never come back to bother you again"
 Come down here silly. and tell me you're glad to see me- retorted Nanny. T want to know where you've been and why you went and all about it."
 Danny looked long and hard at Nanny. lie saw that she really meant It. With little sigh of hap piness he climbed half way down to meet her as she started to climb up. Then they both climbed back into the nest, and Danny told about all the wonderful things he had seen and done. But l didn't really mean to go. Nanny. You know ] didn't really mean to go."
 Nanny nodded her wise little head. T know" said she. T knew all the time. That is why l felt so sure that you would come back
