This Fitch comedy has always been popular. | With Mr. Birch and Mrs. Hibbard, the only members of the company who played the engagement here a vear ago, the new actors in the char- acter roles add to the interest. Miss Skirvin has a most pleasing concep- tion of the role of “Pamela Gordon.' Miss Natalie Perry, a new member, traction. Miss Hamilton has a de- lightful character. The settings of the attraction are very pretty.. *’St. Elmo, same name, by Augusta Evans Wil- | son, has always proven to be one of attractions offered. “St. ElImo” abounds in most interesting southern incidents and has a most charming love story inter- woven in the intensely absorbing plot. *“St. Elmo” is a character oc- casionally found in the walks of life. Through an unfortunate affair of the heart in his youth he has been em- bittered against woman-kind. Yet he fosters a regard for a waif left: by hig old blacksmith friend. A thrill- ing duel is fought between * Elmo” { and another, and the waif is a wit- ness to it. ~“Although appreciating all that “St. Elmo” has done for her, the fatal result of the duel turns her against him. *'St. Elmo,” however, continues to be her benefactor and ultimately brings about a happy cul- mination, There will be a_ matinee perform- ance of “Girls”, Thursday afternoon. ‘AMUSING SKETCH AT KEENEY’S THEATER “The Coon and the Chinaman,’; re- ! cognized from coast to coast as one of ! vaudeville’s most amusing sketches, ' ig probably the most popular number at Keeney’s this week, It is presented :by Cook and Stevens, a pair of en- * tertainers, whose exceptional ability { entitles them to fancy salaries,” in (fact to larger compensation 'than :has been paid to any single team per- forming at Keeney's. Their act has many amusing features and there is a i bright dialogue which offers them splendid opportunities, Bésides being a comedian, Cook is a singer of tal- ient. He will be remembered for his ! remarkable rendition of “If the Man in the Moon Were a Coon,” one of the features of the act he gave here a few years ago. The song numbers he is using this week go equally as big and encores are demanded at ev- ery performance. Miss Janet Mozar's dancing and Johnnie Hoey’s comedy work are two | bright parts of the act in whieh they are appearing with a sextet of danc- ing girls. Miss Mozar |is a hard worker and the chorus is kept busy trying to keep pace with her. There is plenty of snap to the dancing of the girls and the act moves along rap- idly. Mr. Hoey ‘s a former favorite {in the “legitimate” and he has played in New Britain several times in dra- matic productions. Spectacular wire feats are per- formed by the Two Bedfords. They have a number of new stunts, none ot j which have been seen in this city. They provide plenty of thrills during their act. Another sensational aerial turn is that of Livail and Bondini, a pair of trapeze and ring artists. They accom- plish many of the cbnventional trap- eze feats but also introduce some that are original with them. Brown and Brown, juvenile enter- ; tainers, have a bright song and com- ledy skit and Evelyn Ware. offers a singing specialty that finds favor. PICTURE DELAYED.

Tunic dresses are among the most fash- they are as simple and easy to_make as they are pretty and becoming, they seem to combine all advantages. This one is made with straight plaited skirt joined fo.a belt and tunic that is closed at the back. The shaping of the tunic and of the elbow sleeves harmonize prettily with the shaping of the yoke and, in this case, white banding is applied on pink linen to make a very charming effect. In common with all garments that are made with Japanese sleeves, the tunic is the simplest thing in the world to make and a straight skirt never means anv trouble, Suitable materials are almost numberles The finen is charming but there are a great many cotton fabrics shown this season that ‘are attractive, notably crépe that is heavy enough to be laid in plaits while \linens are shown in unprecedentedly attractive colors and the natural color is always smart with banding of red or blue when a practical frock is wanted.

For on the word of So eminent an authority as Anna Paviowa, who got into New York the other day after a tour of the country from ocean to ocean and from pines to palms, the turkey trot, the grizzly bear and all the other barnyard and zoological dances that now grip the country are headed so rapidly toward the discard that, so says Mme, Pavlowa, they will | have disappeared even by next season. | What happened to madame’s $200, | 000 worth of ankles during her tour is pretty well known. But the ac- ident to her right, or salary, foot was but a part of a series of mis- | haps. - She had to wade through water in far Western floods to keep engagements. A railroad bridge in California squashed into the Caliente ! river a moment after madame's spe- cial had been cautiously drawn ac- ross it. A stretch of track disappear- ed into quicksand ahead of her train as she was traveling east to Reno. Floods seemed to follow her in Cals ifornfa. On her opening night 1n | San Francisco she could not ring up Ithe curtain until almost 10:30 o'¢lock at night hecause of flood de- lays. At Reno, owing to that quick- sund affair, she couldnot begin her performances until 11 o'clock p. m. But, as madame tells you with par- donable pride, those dear divorcees land things and stuff waited for her. $100,000 Foot All Right, When her car eased itself into the station from Atlantic City the other Gay, however, Mme.

Here is one of the very newest skirts. t is made in two pieces but there is a scam it the front and one at the back in place of the sides and Ahe fullness that comes it the front is laid in plaits. At the back ‘here is a quite novel treatment, the skirt seing slashed and joined to a yoke while ‘he outer portion is arranged to give a sustle effect. The model can be used with wccess for' the spring suitings, forsilk wnd also for linen and the like, for it is weally very simple and means no compli- :ation that will prove a hindrance to the aundress.. In the picture, the material & taffeta and the simply stitched edges nake something of a feature. For the 16 year size, the skirt will require 214 yds. of material 27, 36 or 44 in. wide. The width at the lowe edge is 1 yd. and 11 in. The pattern of the skirt 8215 is cut in sizes for 16 and 18 years. It will be nailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ien cents. The separate skirt is certainly to be reckoned with this season if one intends to be smartly ana properly gowned.

Sublimated Virginia Reel Is New Dance of the Future for tl‘le NeXt So Says Anna Pavlowa and She Is An Expert—Above [ Dance Will Combine Some of the Hesitation and Similar Dances. Boston, the one time crippled foot reflectively. “Even after it was well I wondered sometimes if it was quite well until { I danced not long ago in Baltimore, ‘Ah, the poor, poor left foot,’ a lady said to me after the performance. ‘I saw vou had to do so many difficult things tonight with the right foot so as to save the injured one.” ‘And then I knew everything was all right be- cause it was the right foot that really had been injured.” “Reaction” is as important a reason as any offered by Mme. Pavlowa for her conviction that the roughhouse dance, sans the grace that madame would like to see in New York, is doomed, and doomed very soon. The success that has greeted her gavottes, which she says have been encored more than any of her other efforts throughout the ¥ountry, is another in- dication that the American ballrooms or next season will welcome the more stately dances of grandmother’s day. “Ah, the way I saw them dance the turkey trot,” she cried. ‘“Boom, beom, boom, and everybody jumps up and struggles around the floor as if they were working hard for money. And the dance music is bad. In old- er days they danced to better music, dance tunes that were written es- pecially for the dance. Now there is no grace, the soft movements are lacking. The older dances were more plastic, more refined. “You in a big city like this perhaps do not realize the importance of the small party in private houses of small towns as a social incentive. And the house party among the young people of the small towns and cities of your country is successful in direct pro- portion as the dances permit all in the room %o take part. The Favorite Is Graceful. “Your Virginia reel pérmits of this, but the Virginia reel also means that each dancer must stand still—out of it as it were—for minutes at a stretch. Now the tango, when danced properly —a modified tango, I should call it— and the hesitation waltz and the one step have their excellences. The" gavotte is very graceful. “Therefore you Americans going to see very soon, and 1 hope to help as much as possible in having you see it, that the dances needed are, those which will permit of all the peo- ple in the ballroom taking part, as in the reel, plus the grace of a modified tango or hesitation waltz and the ga- votte. Therefore what I belleve will brush the trots and bears and hugs aside will be a newer dance that will be a sublimated Virginia reel. “Everybody can take part then. This sublimated reel will be a reel combined with the steps of the hesi- tation, the Boston and other dances {like that, with certain minute figures {ia it also. Such a dance will be so { beautiful to look at and, what is more important, so enjoyable for everybody to dance, that it will sweep America. ‘An:d the reaction against the present undesirable dances of the boom, boom, boom kind will play a very important part in the spread of these new and better ballroom dances.” No one section of America dances better than others, Mme. Pavlowa said. Evidently there is much hope for us as dancers, however, in her eves, because she is so enthusiastic ahout the dancing of American chil- dren. remarkable aptitude for dance steps, she says, despite the faults due to training in dancing that does not al- together ‘meet with her approval. A HAPPY CHILD IN IN JUST A FEW HOURS ‘When Cross, Constipated or If Fever- ish Give “California Syrup of Figs” Then Don't Worry. Mothers can rest easy after giving “California Syrup of Figs,” because in a few hours all the clogged-up waste, sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Children simply will not_take the time from play to empty their bowels, and they become tightly packed, liver gets sluggish and stomach disordered. When cross, feverish, restless, see if tongue is coated, then give this de- liclous “‘fruit laxative.” Children love it, and it cannot cause injury. No dif- ference what ails your little one—if full of cold, or a sore throat, diarz- hoea, stomachache, bad breath, re- member, a gentle “inside cleansing” should always be the first treatment given. Full directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are printed on each bottle. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot- tle of “California Syrup of Figs,” then logk carefully and see that it is made by the ‘“California Fig Syrup Company.” We make no smaller size.

I'd give the whole thing up if I could but I d want to disappoint Margaret.” What a spirit to plan an entertainment in! What a travesty on hospitality! What do we invite our friends to our homes for, anyway? To enjoy their company and to give them a pleasant time? Or to show them our household possessions and prove that we Kngw the rules of etiquette for each occasion and have all the required impyg;. menta? Real hospitality is a beautiful thing. The travesty into which we teor- vert it by trying to follow certain set forms and do everything just .4 “they” prescribe, is a very unbeautiful thing. It is perfectly possible to entertain one's friends, and entertain they, acceptably, no matter how poor one is. Only you must go about the ma_ ter in a dignified and self-respecting spirit. Give the best you can; believe that that is sufficient; act as if it were sufficient, and it will be sufficient. Put good taste and careful planning in- to your preparations, select congenial people; don't get so tired that you cannot greet them with warm cordiality; put the spirit of real hospitality into the occasion, and it cannot fai] to be a success, ' ‘What factor makes you have a £ood time when you go anywhere? Because all the appointments are just as Mrs. Grundy dictates, and the food and entertainment are expensive? Or because you are received with sincere cordiallty and meet genial people? Of course there may be a few people who will not care for friendship if you cannot measure up to all Mrs. Grundy's standards, but do you care for their friendship? They may be all right in their way, but aren’t there enough people who are cultured, refined and worth knowing and yet not so exacting, from whom you can more wisely and happily choose your friends? A great many of the pleasures of life are spoiled by the attempt to compete with people who have more money than we, Let's not permit the joy of hospitality, the pleasure of entertaining one's friends be among this number. con- your / READY FOR SEED TIME: We are well supplied with Fancy Seed Oats.
