bored and unhappy that she
thought about Steve Oglebay.
The only times she had ever
turned to him were the times
when Tom had made her
jealous, or when Tom had left
her alone and had gone out to
play cards with Al Anderson.
But now that she and Tom
were friends oGce again lovers
once again-theie was no need
in her life for Steve Oglebay.
There wasn't even any room
for him. and she was glad
when he said gooG-by and rang
off.
When Tom came home at
night he always went straight
to the corner o. the living-room
where his armchair TODD with
a reading lamp tilted at Just
the right angle above it.
On that rainy night in Nav
he went out to his bedroom
first to take off his wet shoes
and put on his house slippers.

A moment later. Lovejoy. heat
ing the baby's milk in the
kitchen, heard him walk into
the living-room. She heard the
rustic Of his newspaper, the
creaking of his chair as he sat
down in it, the click Of the
lamp as he turned the light
on. Pleasant, familiar,
COzy sounds.
She smiled softly to herself
as she TOOK the bottle out OF
the hot water, wiped it off on
a clean tea-towel and started
into the dining-room.
But as she opened the door
the smile faded from her face
and a look of horror took it
place.
Tom was coming toward her
from the living-room, and In his
hand was the butt of a cigar. A
cigar with a red-and,gold band
around 1t.
The last time L'ovejoy had

Whats that thingP" she
asked, and her own lips felt
stiff and numb as she spoke.
We'll, inasmuch as can see
and feel and SMELL I'd say it
was a stub of a 50-cent cigar"
Tom replied.
There was no sarcasm In his
voice. And in his face was
nothing but grave questioning.

Under her knowing eyes Love

AS she spoke she heard the
door of Hilda's room close very
quietly. 1t was a tiny sound,
and Lovejoy probably would
not have noticed it If she mad
not been uneasy about Hilda
all afternoon.
She remembered what Aline
had said-she's hanging around
here just to spy on us.
After She had given the baby
his bottle and left him sound
asleep in his room, she knocked
quietly on Hilda's door.
Hilda opened it. She was
dressed now to go out, her face
thickly covered with powder
and a little red felt hat pulled
down over her eyes.

BURLESQUE TO
USE ACTS

What is regarded as a forward
step for the advancement of the
burlesque is the recent consumma-
ton of an arrangement between
William Morris and I. H. Hork,
president of the Mutual Burlesque
Association which plays locally at
the Gayety Theater.
Mr.. Morris. besides being the
manager of Sir Harry Lauder. is
generally conceded to be the out
standing vaudeville agent in this
country, with direct contral of
agencies in practically every Euro
pean capital in the world.
He has consented to join Mr..
Hork in establishing a vaudeville
background for Mutuals forty-odd
shows by supplying at least two
vaudeville acts for each company,
besides recommending performers
to play leading parts who will in
troduce their specialtieS.
Mr.. Hork announces that under
this arrangement there will be no
departure from the established
routine of the burlesque features
of the performers. On the con-
trary, he asserts, the burlesque
elements will be brought up to
accord with the quality of vaude-
vile, making Mutual shows more
important than ever.

Theaters Cool
By New System

Scientific regulation of cool,
purified air in Warner Bros.
Metropolitan and Earle Theaters
Is the latest step in banishlng
summer from the picture palaces.
When motion picture theaters
first began the installation OF
cooling systems. their object was
to see how cool the theater could
be made, regardless of the pre-
vailing temperature on the street.
AS a result, many patrons, be-
coming Injured to the chilled air
in the auditorium, emerged on
the street to find themselves
greeted by blast of hot, humid,
sitting air that affected them
disagreeably.
The Warner Bros. theaters
have solved this problem through
installation of improved new
cooling systems, which permit
dry, cool, fresh air within the
theaters to be regulated with due
regard for the comfort of patrons.
These systems are now in opera
ton, and their advantages over
outmoded, uncomfortable cooling
appliances are obvious.
