THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. FRIDAY, DEC. 17, 1915
The Uncfaastened Woman
Hildegarde's dignity did not desert her, She was calling all her pride to her aid but it u a greater thing than pride that must see her through the situation. It was her loyalty to her own ideals. She had chosen the model tenements as the background of her life and the battleground of her work. To be ashamed or apologetic would be to deny her faith in that choice. There was a simplicity about Hlldegarde which some might fail to understand. It made her honest and true even to those who were utterly undeserving of honesty and truth. But she had common sense enough . to know that the very limitations of her strength would make it impossible for her to "play the game", in any other way than as her own nature dictated. And. after, all, frank -and simple honesty is a wonderful weapon when directed against those wbo do ' not expect it! " v Quite simply the hostess indicated
their places to her guests and brought
over the bread and butter from its place on the set tubs across the room. She managed a little formal conver
sation about Mr. Knolys and the Home
stead Mills and whether or no her guests wanted sugar or their grape
fruit. With Caroline it was an em pbatlc "no" as to both sugar and fruit
Susan's effort: to be tactful express-, ed itself In asking whether her hostess had any nerves left. And it occurred
to Lawrence that the best way for them all to fortify themselves against the vagaries of the co-operative cook and the tenement day was to Indulge in a little of the cup that inebriates as
well as cheers.
? But even the Scotch was refused' by
Caroline, who managed to express her scorn of Mrs. Sanbury's luncheon with
out absolutely sacrificing Mrs. Knolys'
air of breeding. "It's coming!" cried Lawrence mys
teriously and with the air of one who
assumes good fellowship. .
" "I've got a long distance nose! '. The
floup!"
.1 There entered a very neat and im
portant looking Mrs. Murtba carrying four soup bowls on an extremely pre
sentable tray. - Her eyes were fixed
on Hlldegarde, whose signals she was
. determined to get. It amazed Murtha tremendously to be ordered to serve the hostess first a proceeding she thought most inhospitable; but it amazed her Btill more to be wavedi away from Mrs. Knolys by a white gloved hand and a serene VI never eat soup." ' "Yis, mam," gasped a chastened Murtha, and prepared to leave the room, carrying the rejected bowl of soup on her tray. At the door she was passed by one entering. . He deftly lifted the bowl of soup from the tray and came into the room with an air of assurance that Indicated he expected himself at the luncheon, whether or no any one else had anticipated,, his coming. Caroline looked .up with an amused determination to be astonished at noth-
At Movies Tonight
PALACE A wonderful story is told In a wonderful manner in "The Cowardly Way," the coming release on the Equitable program at the Palace Theatre, to be shown tonight. . Florence Reed, the star, and Marc Edmond Jones, the author, have-combined their remarkable talents in a production which is without an equal as a screen drama.
lng. She saw in the doorway a tall, well-built man of about thirty-five. His
dress was scrupuonsly neat but had an
air of careless indifference. He had a
shock of dark curly hair and a pointed beard, which threw his pale face into, clear relief. Everything about him be
tokened a fearless Indifference 'as to
how that mind Impressed anybody else. He rather peered at the guests
without' seeming to be particularly interested in the fact that they were there.
The man was Michael Krellin, Rus
sian by birth but neither Russian nor American in sympathy 'or viewpoint. He spoke English with a scrupulous scholarly exactness and with far more control over his vocabulary thtn his
accent. s Mentally he had the deliberately op
timistic qualities of the political
dreamer wbo has saved hie optimism by fighting for the next reform at hand each time that he saw that the present one was lost. His manner betrayed itself at once as being humorous and easy, with a sort of detached impersonal impertinence. It was evident, too, that he had the assurance of a platform orator and the self-confidence of one to whom the world's ideals of success are totally unimportant. Caroline' s-impre&slon was-of a personality so vivid that it could project itself at once,-and the half hour that followed only amplified the suggestions of himself he gave in his first quick actions; the seizure of the soup bowl, followed by his quick sortie to the pantry whence he emerged with a knife, fork, spon and napkin in one hand and the soup bowl in the other. Almost in one motion he laid his booty on the table, dragged up a chair, feat down, and "tucked his , napkin serenely into his collar, exclaiming the while - joyously, "Hlldegarde, Hlldegarde, I've news for you. Good news." HILDEGARDE TRIES TO BE
SYMPATHETIC WITH KRELLIN '. His voice! had the smooth ripple of lustrous, - thick- piled " plush. It fitted him with the absolute .serenity of his unembarrassed manner Michael Krellin respected neither the Russian Czar nor -the Russian tyranny. .;. On the other hand, he was quite unimpressed by the American democracy and the American idea of liberty. Why, then, should unexpected guests in a co-operative dining room impress him? Their elegance was lost on his near-sighted eyes; their .importance, his brain would always be too farsighted to acknowledge. "I'm hungry as a wolf. All night at the offices." He informed some one (presumably Hlldegarde) making a vociferous onslaught upon his soup the while. - - - - "You must be tired, MIcheal," said Hlldegarde. His voice merry, but his body relaxed, - Michael replied dauntlessly, "Not very.' He had taken a place between Susan and Hlldegarde and as he sat down Susan drew away. Caroline was quite unperturbed; Lawrence was annoyed. But strangely enough the first person on whom Krellin. definitely focussed his near-sighted eyes was Susan. His first hunger satisfied, his idea of mannerliness reared its head. "Oh, you're having a party, Hlldegarde. I didn't see, pardon, I am nearsighted and I have broken my glasses.
I'll step in later." As he rose to withdraw, Hildegarde's fearlessness awoke. There had been a
moment when Michael's sudden projection on the scene had seemed to Hlldegarde the final and unendurable calamity. But now the true aristocracy that is kindheartedness reassert
ed Itself and Hlldegarde urged Michael to stay and attempted to present Mm to the guests.; But before he could undergo the social amenities. - Michael had to
