Tommy is somewhat of a spoilt child, but © Helen finds it thrilling to bring £ him out of his petulant fits. His lateat enthusiasm, besides Helen, is moving pictures. While Mel on walta for Tommy at Nina's, Ethan Kingsway appears----one of the Kingsways for whom the town is named. Ethan was jilted by Nina for the rich Mr. Hig- ginson, but he still calls at Nina's home. This time It is to tell her that he must decline a _ inner Invitation as he ia going to Europe. Tommy appears as Kingsway leaves, and frankly Says that he hates Ethan, Tommy takes Helen to an amateur proe duction which "he is filming. + Doris Milliken tells Helen that . she and Ronny, Nina's Stepson, are engaged. Just before Helen retired Ronny comes home, Nina enters the room as Helen is kia alng Ronny good-night and ace cuses them of making love. Nina and Ronny have a violent scens and he refuses to go back to college. The next day Tommy declares his love for Helen. INSTALLMENT VI So there wasn't any change of keeping the engagement quiet.But Helen, with her natura] lght- .Leartednees, found herself enjoy- ing it after all. Kingsway Vil- lage's ritual for engaged girls was released about her. Mrs, Delamat- er, a little overpowered and over- siegant in the manner of her day, a little set In her phrases, as a society' leader of a small place is likely to be, came calling and wel- tomed her into the family, sitting, white-gloved and stiffly marcelled, with just a tinge of condescension coloring her sentences about be- ing happy and delighted. "And you don't know what it means to me to feel that my dear boy, after all his flitting from flower to flower, 43 one might say, hos been made to settle down by such a good lit- tle devoted gir! as you, dearest . Helen." . Nina proke in. Nina was a match i for any two mothers of only sons, © "It you think Helen made Tom- Loy settle down, you're wrong. Tom- smy has been badgering the life © out of Helen, and fighting off oth- 2 er men in a way that I must say oI think was--well, of course, he's £80 mad about her that he couldn't & really," said Nina silkily, "play ¥ quite fair." § "My son," said Mrs. [Delamater, Bu the sou! of chivalry and hon- or." © "Isn't he?" said Helen with in- ¥ ;nocent enthusiasm. "Mr. Delamater is decended," 1, 8aid Mrs, Delamater firmly, "from J the first mayor of Wayne." ® "How wonderful for him!" said Nina, "It sounds like a song, ir og it--'the Mayor of Wayne'! $ Mrs. Delamater, to Helen's in- Wtense surprise, turned deep pink under her coating of white powder, ! Band even the spots of pink care- fully done on her cheek bones. H Helen bolted from the room, © With a gasping excuse about Tacy having forgotten something. Tacy had forgotten nothing.

Conquered, finally, by a Colonial Governor saved for the last as one saves the ace of yrumps, Mrs. Dela- Mater, nearly hysterical, demanded 4 shrilly where Helen Lad gone, and _ Helen, returning, found herself greeted as if she had been a life t, or Blucher's battalions at aterloo. The lady left as soon af. that as she could, in an order of compliments and violent sachet, but she went defeated. ~ Nina dropped into. a chalr, laughing to herself at the recollec- tion of some of her best shots, "#Ever notice that she plays her ~ husband's ancestors, not her own, Helen? I don't know where she came from, hadby dear, but it's a 12d you might follow. You might ; it useful." len stood, dismayed, shaken ~ out of her dream of a world where everyone was kind. "Don't you think I can sver 3 0 Roy fond of me?" she asked inkly., . , - - genial, paternal type, weighty ag- gressive and impressive---except in his own home, where Mrs, Delamat- er's precise, purring voice, laden with "dear" and '"'darling"' pre- fixes to every name she spoke, quelled his every utterance. | Tommy took neither of his pare ents very seriously. He 1¢% his mo- ther fuss at him and adore him, his father bluster and indulge him, with same cheerful carelessness with which he stood on his mothe er's Louis Quinze chairs to put off and on his elaborate lighting sys- tem,--for Tommy was still experi- menting with his elaborate system of Kleig lights. To Helen, Tommy's enthusiasm seemed amoung the most lovable of his characteristics. He always, swept her along with him laugning and delighted. "I hope he'll get excited abbut golf," she sald, "Tommy says we're to take up golf and bridge and be very sedate when we're Young Married Set. Can't you see Tommy being sedate?" They both laughed lovingly ov- er the picture of a tamed, bridge- playing, golfing, married Tommy. What with a rush of parties for her, and a very insistent Tommy, and her office work and her pre- parations for marriage, Helen grew more gay and excited, and thinner, She slept lightly, walking still stimulated, She seemed to horsel! to laugh all day long. There was double work to do. She had re- fused to let Nina order her all her lingerie, and now she was sorry, because Nina had merely bought materials instead and they had to be made up. Exquisite ninons and crepes and laces and rosy and gold- en satins. 'The red coat from Jessica had come. It wasn't as bad as Helen had feared. It was only sixty-five dollars. Helen sent the check. Tommy, to Helen's dismay, told | his father (and mother, Helen fear. ed) all the eircumstances of Jes sica and the coat and the approach. {ing baby, And Mr. Delamater lec- |tured Helen, very much as Nina |had done, but more sparingly anf more clearly. Helen was never by the wisdom which he had for ev- eryone but his own son to add a scolding to her next letter, She told Jessica about her engagement and impending marriage. Then came the chore of getting Nina off. | Nina kept up her own social a'- fairs to the last moment. Nina al- {ways rested be'ore and after any | parties given or received, bedause, 23 she said she owed it to herself. This worked well ordinarily, but Helen, spurred on by feeling that she ought to do a little extra to pay for all the lingerie, added looking after Nina as usual and to her own heavy schedule of du- tier, and pleasures. 1 Helen, walking on air, scarlet. cheeked, ecstatic, drove easily {through it all, She would rest the two weeks after Nina sailed. Tommy went, in a gust of rag- ing and regretful devotion. Helen missed him achingly, but no a dif- ferent plane it was a relief.

TEARLEACTS PART ~ OF HAMLET WELL Wins Praise of Critics New Role at Haymarket Theatre London, March 23,--~Godfrey Tearle won the favor of the tritics in the role of the Prince in the recent all- star presentation of "Hamlet" in the Haymarket Theatre here. His suc- cess in the part was regarded all the more highly because he assumed it on short notice owing to the illness of Henry Ainley, noted actor, whose in- ability to appear was a matter of considerable regret. Tearle had been cast for the role of Horatio before it was known that Ainley would not be in the play. The Times critic said: "No Hamlet ever had a warmer lieart, a gentler or more winning hu- manity than Godfrey Tearle's, De- fore heaven, a very likeable man--one to choose as a friend, to honor as a prince. And to feel for Hamlet the liking, the almost unswerving affec- tion, that we do feel at the Hay- market is implicitly to criticize Mr, Tearle's performance, See his wel- come of Horatio from which the im- pression of friendship springs instant- ly; observe with what warmth, what in eagerness and good sense, he treats the players; listen to his converse with the gravedigger, which is never twisted to an extravagant humor and is the more touching, and the more valuable as a retrospective comment, because held in so careful a simpli. city. "All this enables us to know--or, shall we say to feel--a virtue in the man that more highly-strung and seemingly more sensitive = perform- ances have often obscured. The same merit is preserved even among the 'demerits of Mr. Tearle's soliloquies. They are clean of theatrical affecta- tion; they are never mouthed or ranted, but spoken always with a kind of modesty that draws us to the speaker; and when, beside her grave, Mamlet says that he loved Ophelia, | his love is plain and his grief direct- | ly communicated. A loving man, an honest, struggling, loyal man, held back from his active purpose by weaknesses in his character, but not, as some Hamlets have been, a neu- If Your Ears Ring With Head Noises If you have catarrhal deafness or head noises go to your druggist and get 1 oz. of Parmint (double strength) and add to it % pint of hot water and a little sugar. Take a tablespoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from. the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and mucous stop dropping 'into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take, Any- one who has catarrhal deafness or head noises should give this pre. scription a trial. rosis on legs or an actor wallowing in a great part. "For all this a blessing on Mr. Tearle, but gratitude cannot conceal that the portrait he draws is incom- plete. Two instances will serve. First, the soliloquies; they are clear, reasonable arguments, but they are never what the soliloquies should be --a trickle, a flow, a torrent of ap- prehension passing through the mind into the soul, as rain passes into thirsty ground. Second, the scene in which Hamlet comes upon the King at prayer and abstains from killing him lest, if the body die upon its knees, the spirit be carricd to hea- ven. This is a fiends intention; this carrying of revenge into eternity is an act of devilish imagination of which Mr, Tearle's loving and hon- est man, so little troubled by the subleties of the Renaissance, would have been altogether incapable. The defect is a damaging one. Not only is this particular scene, psychologi- cally, as important as any in the play, robbed of its effect, but the failure of it makes clear what Mr. Tearle's por- trait lacks, Mr. Tearle succeeded Mr. Ainley very recently in the part; as the evenings pass his performance will certainly be enriched, perhaps beyond our criticism of it. It is al- ready an extremely able piece of act- ing, full of life, particularly in the early scenes, and rich in those hu- man attributes which more spectacu- lar playing has often corpealed." "Miss Fay Compton's scene of Oheplia's madness is a superb mingl- ing of terror and beauty--as lovely a treatment of the part as we may sec in our generation."

PETITIONS FOR CHANGE OF VIEW Willie MacAgkill Wants Gal- lows Removed From Jail Yard Daddeck, N.S, March 23.--The gallows erected in thé jail yard out- side Willie MacAskill's cell are get- ting on his nerves. In a lettertto his lawyer, D. A. Cameron, K.C, who succeeded in obtaining an order for a new trial from the Supreme Court of Canada, MacAskill has asked that the grisly preparations for his twice=- delaved execution be removed. MacAskill was concited of the murs der or wsoran J. MacPherson, his second cousin, a merchant of Bay St, Lawrence, who was killed in a stabe bing affray at the height of a drink« ing party. Execution was set for January 13, but 'moved back pending an appeal which was disallowed by the Nova Scotia Supreme Court, and again scheduled for March 3. The case was then carried to the Su< preme Court of Canada, where the' decision of the lower court was over<' ruled »nd a new trial ordered. The case will probably come up again in June. y AGREEMENT BRINGS $1,025 London, March 23.--Oliver Gold« smith's agreement to write a "new natural history of animals," dated 1769, was sold here for $1,025 at a recent auction, Under the agreement Goldsmith was to be paid $4,000 to write the eight volumes.
