TEN OKLAHOMA CITY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1918 BEST OF LIFE IN PRISON QUARTERS Accused Teacher-Slayer Inter viewed by Famed Writer. Br MADAME Y. (The Author of Thii Article la One of the Beat-Known Magazine Writera In America.) VVAUKF.SIIA, May 2.l-(Specian-I ipent Sunday morning witli Mis Link in her ceil at Waukesha. Slip is thoroughly agreeable woiiian, who talked well ami readily on every suti Ject that happened to crop up. It was fortunate her counsel. J. K. l.owry, ar ranged for our meeting in her cell rather than in the courtroom during recess, as he at first intended In court she looks and appears as any other well lire ! woman only more tailor-made than the average hut in her rell there were a hundred little tenches that brought the real woman to the surface She had taken the most dark and drearv surrounding' possihte to imagine--bleak whitewashed walls and iron harrrd windows anil with the manic touch of a woman who loves heautiful things she had turned her prison cell into an attractive houdoir. No Time to Set the Scene. The visit was wholly unexpected There wasn't a second to "set the Irene" or make things attractive for visitors. Mr. l.owry hail changed his mind ahout letting me talk to her dur ing the court recess when 1 pointed out that her friends- alwas claimed her then It was a typical Sunday in the rural town. The first church hells had he gun to ring and lilacs and apple hlos onis bloomed in door-vards o( the pretty W isconsin town. There was a flowered chinti curtain at the window through which the sun light poured. There were pots of dooming flowers along the window; there was a Itotticelli Madonna pinned beside her bed. There was an old fashioned mahogany bureau full of women's toilet things there were books, and lastly there was an old fashioned "nosegay" in a paper fril Ion a low table near the bed. Pleada Strain Of Trial. She apologised for not being up and about, pleading that the strain of the trial the last week had worn her out and she was going to spend the fore noon in bed She made a very charming picture propped up with pillows and wearing llie daintiest of hand-emliroidered neg ligees. It was open at the throat and sleeves and caught together with knots of blue ribbon. The sleeves fell away from the arms, which were reallv beau tifulslender, but with no suggestion of angularity The hands are ex pressive and highly psychic in type Heavy brown hair fell about her shoul der and from time to time as she talked she would push aside a stray 'ock. In street attire Miss I.usk is a well set up, dainty woman. In .negligee she is much more she is strikingly pretty. There was some talk about "Mor gan," a trusty, and quite a character about the town of Waukesha. Morgan has a weakness. He loves the clip that :heers and always inebriates him. Then they put him in jail and he runs the furnace and catches the mire He took excellent care of Miss I.usk last winter, doing any chores she re quited, and when his sentence was up, a couple of months ago, he worried, fearing his successor would not keep up the furnace. He heard, too, that the mire were bad again. Today he is bark again, but whether i was weakness or chivalry that again landei' him in jail is a question. She Love Children. We talked of a delightful little girl whom I had noticed in court a day or two ago. She is a friend of Miss I.usk nd her mother had brought her to see the prisoner. "Isn't she a delightful little thing?" lid Miss I.usk. "It has been strange having no children about this long year. I'm so used to them. Some of the pa pers have called me a typical school teacher. Well perhaps 1 am I taught school because I loe children, love to have them about me, and young people too." She shoved back a stray lu k and her eyes Rrew soft. "They have been very good to me. rnv old pupils." she said "(die wrote me the other day that she was sending me helpful thoughts every day. She is a CbristVn Scientist " "1 hen, of course, I asked hrr about Fllen Key and the effect that the fa mous Norwegian's dot trims bad on ber (ife. and tirace I.usk threw up her hands, laughed heartily and tinned her head among the pillows "Let me see. there is hllrn Ki v and Freud (), a doen of two more that the papers have had nie uprooting and changing my life to fit their various codes." "1 hen you are not a disciple of I-'lbn Key?" Would Be Scenario Writer. Aga,in she laughed. It seemed a beautiful joke. "Do you want to know the book that has helped me to Ret through this long winter? It is over there on that shelf a little book of instructions about how to write jrenarios for the movies. "Like 'JO percent of the white popu lation, I've been trying to write for the creen, and it has helped me to get through so many long days. I'll al way be grateful to that little book " Then we talked ahout two women writer who came from Wisconsin Elizabeth Jordan and Zona Gale. "Mis Jordan knows all about girls," he ttid. "I read ill her Mai fveson torie They are exactly 'ike nice fir la I've taught. And Zona Gale's ftorie have a wonderful .quality all her own. When I wa student in the Unls-ersity of Wisconsin they used to talk good deVI shout Zona Gale, they were so proud of her." r f you pay now the kier can't prey later. How about your income taji? NI W VORK-There are parts of this country which have never known the romfort of genuine summer clothes. In these sections, the thermometer has not induced women to dress according to its reckoning. Fan cilul fabrics, honed silk linings, bead ing, embroidery and other ornamenta tion have flecked the surface of the froik that was to be worn at 4 in the afternoon, when the thermometer rrg islried 'J I degrees. Hut siuh discomfort has not been tol erated ii those sections of the country where heat is taken as a vital thing and one Millie irntly dangerous to be avoided; and in these places, actual summer clothes have ruled from May till () tuber. Comfortable, Inexpensive Costumery. 'I his war tune summer will see these dollies spread over the continent. We should always have had them, for one has to dip into unknown regions in America and Canada to find cool sum mer d.n s The slight irritation against over elaboration of clothes which has been shown bv the public this spring, is the reason for the launching of all the in expensive cottons and muslins that reallv belong to the American summer climate. It is far easier and less expensive to evolve a half doen cotton gowns in one's own sewing room than to buy a beaded Georgette crepe or a silk jer sev at a high-priced shop. Warm weather demands a full ward robe. (Ine can skimp in quantity in winter, but not when the sun beats down and the north wind has ceased to cool. A joyful shout of welcome should greet this new kind of summer ens tiimerv, a new kind that is a very, very old kind. It is pleasant to get into blue and white cottons, pink and white mus lins and mauve organdies with white collar and cuffs at a time when fresh ness is necessary to romfort and cool ness is nee essarV to life. Stiiped Cotton Frock. The spur! clothes of jersey have, to a measiiiable degree, given way to in expensne sport frocks of striped cot ton which are bound with plain fabric to get a good color .scheme Take, as a good example of this fashion, the gown which is shown in the sketch. The material is cheap It is blue and white striied cotton bound with plain blue. '1 he skirt is built up of the two fabrics, and the loose middy blouse, which is so much in fashion that it is copied on high-priced gowns in satin, gold tissue, black lace and embroid ered taffeta, has a sash to accentuate the waistline.

The woman I married has been the best of wives and mothers and I have been very contented in my choice. Mv wife is three years older than myself, which I am sure you will say ought make no difference. She was beautiful at the time I married her, but now she is plain. The thing I feel most keenly, however, is the fact that she is extremely selfish. She is always demanding things for herself and as surely as she knows I want something she lefuses to have it in the house. Mv wife's younger sister has recently cutne to live with us. She is even more beautiful that my wife was when I mar ried her. She is a dear little thing, only IK vears old, and she is so afraid she will be in the way and not wanted that I just couldn't help loving her. Her jiarents are dead and she is living with us because she has no other place to go. I am positively worried because 1 think of nothing but my little sister-in-law. It sounds weak to admit this, but I don't know just how things are going to end. Po you think I ought to con fess to either my wife or sister-in-law the way I feel so that if they think best we ran arrange for her to live some w here else ?

There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair cd its lustre, its strength and its very life; eventually pri-ducing a fevensh ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die then the hair falls out fast.

Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation It goes rirht to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhilarating ami life-prodiiring proper- lies cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful. Timely Dram on the Screen. Strand Theater SATTRDAY, May J.ith. 2oth, 27th.

"BFRI.IN Via AMFk'ICA." hit close to the heart. For who among us has not sent a son, a husband, a sweetheart or a brother on into the great adven ture with a smile and a hidden tear. It is the storv of an American boy one just like your own who even at the sacrifice of bis good name, works for the cause which is dear to him. Francis l ord directed the production and enacts the leading ride. Opposite him plays Fdna Fnierson and a nn table cast including Jack Newton, Wil liam ( anfielcl, Lois Scott, Dell Coyne and Fmma Warren. Francis Ford directed the masterly production and plays the part of I'hil Kelly. Supporting him is Fdna Fni erson, as an American girl "doing her hit." The story is from the pen of Flsie Van Name Ravage of the Huns Are Plcturired. The spot where their little home stood is a mass id ruins, nothing but a lone stone wall to mark it. The beast ly Hun sees the little French family and brutally asmlts those who com., to worship at the shrine which once was home Hut I'hil Kelly sees, and the punishment he metes out is swift and lust.

Sidney Olcott's stupen dous visualization of the tragedy of Pelgium, which comes to the STRAND theater on May 22, 2J, 24. The story opens in Belgium just before the terrible mailed . fist descends upon the peaceful nation and crushes out the life of, .the country. One of the artis tic touches with which the pic ture abounds is the shadow of a cross showing Belgium crucified and the heel of the Hun about to trample her under foot. Jeanne Destree and Victor Morenne are portrayed respec tively bv Valentine Grant and Walker Whiteside None of the steraotyped meth ods are resorted to, and the end ing oi the picture is wonderfully artistic. Suffice to sav that the people who viewed "The Belgian" at its trade showing in the Strand theater. New York, were moved to rise and cheer as the American troops appeared on the screen marching to the aid tf Belgium. In the supporting cast are Sally Crute, whs doe the best work she has done a the Countess de Vries, a German spy; Arda La Croix, who plays Father Julian; Ander Rudolph and George Majeroni.
