WHtan Ntwapapvr Uslaa.) "By the order of the court the child was fir en lute the custody of the father." It was six year* since Marion had read those words In the newspaper, and she had smiled bitterly at them. As If she wanted little Elaine. She was not the maternal type of woman, and waa quite frank about it She wanted a good time with Jim. They had had a hard struggle. He was only a clerk, he had neglected her, and Dan had come along with his roadkter, and? Well, there had been that night at the roadhouae, and the one Irrevoc able step, and?Marlon had written Jim that she was never coming back. Dan had not followed the tradition al path; be bad been more and more devoted to her, and when he died he left her ninety thousand dollars. As she stood outside Jim's house she thought bow strangely Ironical the sit uation was. Jim had divorced her? an4 here was Jim, still struggling along on forty a week, or thereabouts, to Judge from the appearance of the place; and here was she, who should have been In poverty and humiliation, with her fine house In Seabury, and standing there In her expensive furs, wondering whether, because she had always had a sort of tenderness for Jim, she should offer to take him Into her Ufe again. It was decidedly Ironical, and the j proper situation reversed In such a 1 deadly manner for moralists. And she wondered as she stood there j who had been the more to blame, she or Jim. She had always suspected that there was another woman In the case. And she had loved Jim. It was odd, but In a way she. loved him still. She went nearer to the door, for It waa very dark, and there waa no fear ?f discover^. Then she saw Jim In the lighted parlor, and a woman near him?Janet Sylvester I All her old suspicions were con firmed ! So Jim waa carrying on with Janet?living with her, evidently, openly, as If they were married. For Janet had a hnaband In fltlea. Then her heart beat a little mere quickly as she saw a little girl enter the room, and heard Janet's sookllng voice: "Come here, yon child I Didn't I hell you to go to bedT' "Tea, but?" "Yes, who?" The child remained stubbornly si-' lent "Yes, mother I" "I wont say It You aren't my moth er. My mother's In Hfeaven!" "You will say It I Now then 1 Well, HI have to teach you, will IT* The sound of a blow. A whimper. "Now, then I" The child remained silent, save for a slight restrained sobbing. There were more blows, scolding. "Jim, that child's will's got to be broken. Why don't you do something T' "Oh, I dont know," said Jim lazily. "I wish you'd beat the kid somewhere else, Janet" "You'll say HI" "I won't say It?net If you waa to kill me!" * Ar Marlon set her teeth hard as she listened at the door. A new sense of motherhood was dawning in her. And with It there came a startling discov ery. ? It was the trinity of father, mother and child that would have made life and home complete for her. It was because Jim had never really cared for little Blaine that she had grown callona, gone ont with Dan. Now a furlona resentment against the man and the woman, agalDst the past, stirred In her. And she clenched her flQlts as she listened to the drawn out conflict between the woman and the chllde-her child. "You stubborn little thing, TO break yonr will yet I" said JaDet. "Now go to L.S ?* ucu. With a catch of her breath the child ran from the room. At the same time the hall door opened softly. Elaine saw the furred figure standing upon the threshold, the beckoning hand. She ran toward It, and something Impelled her to fling her arms about the woman's neck. Marlon drew her out Into the street and softly closed the door. She clutched the sobbing little figure to her breast, trying to quell the spas modic sobbing. "There, there, dont cry, honey 1" "Oh, they hate me, and I won't call her my mother, 'cos she Isn't. My moth er's dmd." "Not dead, honey, but here?here!" Marlon opened her fur coat and drew the child Inside. "She's come for you, lear?to take you away. Will you come with met" They hurried down the street to gether, far from the house, Marlon clutching Elaine's hand tightly, and reeling a happiness that she had never known before. It was all clear as crystal now, and If the past was justi fied, the future was made perfect. Ingalls on Immortality. Every man Ir the center of a circle whose fatal circumference he cannot jass.

SUPERB FASHION REVUE SHOWN IN "NICE PEOPLE" AU American Costumes From Pilgrim Days to the Present Worn in William de Mille's Big Pro duction A revue of Americsn fashions from the days of the Pilgrims to the pres ent! This is one of the distinctive pictorial features of William de Mille's Paramount production of "Nice People," which will be seen at the RICHARD THEATRE, MONDAY and TUESDAY, November 20th and 21st The occasion is a Fourth of July masquerade ball and the guests ap pear wearing costumes reminiscent of every important period of American history. No two costumes are alike. Colonial grand dames, maids of the first-revolutionary period, Civil War beauties and dozens of other types are presented with their masculine coun terparts. Julia Faye, in the role of the host ess, is gowned as Columbia. Bebe Daniels, charming in the huge skirt ed gown of 1840, and Conrad Nagel as an early Colonial cavalier, are the other principals of this episode. Wallace Reid, who is the other member of the quartet of principals in the all-star cast of "Nice People," does not appear in this sequence of scenes./ The introduction of this masque ball is an original idea for which Willam de Mille and Clara Beranger, who adopted the story from Rachel Crothers' play, are the sponsors. In most other important respects, the Paramount screen adaption follows the original play closely. BETHLEHEM NEWS There will be services at Bethle hem Saturday and Sunday.
