BLACKMORE LEAVES TONIGHT The final performance of “St. Elmo” will be given by the Lyceum Players | at the Lyceum this evening. Large zudiences have thoroughly enjoved the performances. A capacity audience is expected to be present tonight as it will be the farewell appearance of Mr. Blackmore in the leading role. He has accepted an engagement in Paterson, N. J. Mr. Blackmore has been very popular with the theater- | goers of New Britain. In the initial presentation of “Our New Minister,” which will open Mon- | Gay evening, preparations are being made for a cordial reception to Mr. Cross. In the next attraction Mr. Cross will assume the tole of “Rev. Thaddeus Strong,” the new minister. “Rev. Mr, Strong” is a most congenial role for him. It pictures the type of the new minister. He is the type of a minister of true Christian spirit and placed in a community where the townsfolk are schooled to the former straight-laced ways his pleasing char- acter stands out strong in contrast. “Rev. Ranson,” who is the victim of the jealousy of all the village folks, who , argue that the real reason of their dislike is because her father is an ex-convict. In the character of “Chapin” Mr. Birch has a character role that gives him excellent oppor- | tunities for character work. ANOTHER GOOD FILM IS SHOWN AT FOX'S “The Ghost,” which is being shown at Fox’s, tells this story: Peter Whitten was the boldest buc- caneer of his time, which was early in the nineteenth century. But the -pain that Peter’s pursuits caused old Tzra Whitten, was lessened by the sterling character of his younger son, Gabriel; and see- ir.g that there was no hope of reform- ing Peter, the old gentleman centered | all his love and hope in Gabriel. Cabriel is in love with Joan Moore, daughter of the keeper of Ye Lion Inne. In conversation with her lover one day, Joan confesses that her father is in dire financial difficulties. Gabriel suggests a visit to his father. Ezra Whitten willingly supplies the money Rufus needs and Moore, turn, gives a note promising to re- turn the money in ninety days. month later Whitten, the elder, dies. By the terms of his will Whitten cuts off his son Peter and leaves Gabriel his entire fortune, consisting of some uncollected accounts and a chest of gold, buried on a distant island. To prove his fairness, Gabriel agrees to divide the buried treasure if Peter will help him locate it. Peter con- sents and together the brothers set out as directed in a crude map left by their father. They find the treas- ure with little difficulty, but on the return to the boat Gabriel is caught in & quicksand and though he pleads for help, Peter leaves him to his fate. Returning to the village with the chest of gold and jewels, Peter an- nounces that Gabriel was lost in the quicksands, despite his efforts to save him., Peter demands payment of the note. Moore begs for time and Peter grants a day of grace. The next night, despite a fearful. electrical storm, Peter journeys to the Inne for his money. Moore pays the debt and Peter is about to leave, when Joan invites him to pass the night at the tavern and thus avoid the terrible storm. Peter accepts and Joan shows him to his room above the bar. When Peter is safely in the room, Joan turns the key from the hall and locks him in. Peter prepares to retire, but does not feel at ease. He glances at the bed and is startled. He smiles and rubs his eves, looks again and fear over- powers him,. for he recognizes the head on the pillow as Gabriel's. Gabriel removes the white sheet that i covers his street apparel and quickly explains how he was saved from the quicksands by passing fishermen, how he told Joan when he reached the Inne and how Joan hit upon the idea of awakening Peter's conscience. Had they followed Peter they would have keen him in the storeroom of his home guarding the treasure from an imaginary apparition. Also they would have seen him upset a box that allowed the cases stored high against the walls to tumble upon him. They might have saved his life, but | they did not find him until the next day. to the hair a“d; Wild pepper grass can be washed | P LY uWIN [BUSY ¢ SonnEs ) 23RS - { and used for flavoring sandwich fill- ings of meat or cream cheese or sal- ads. o SOBY’S CLASS IN MODERN DANCING Tango, One Step, Hesitation Waltz, etc. ' BOOTH"!

Inez Milholland Boissevain Heckled on Woman Suffrage " | She Stood Her Ground and Answered Questions— Says Press Is Most Valuable All Inst Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain, with her husband at her side, was heckled for more than an hour at the Press club Wednesday in New York without losing her temper or her smile, although she began to roll up her sleeves once, when some one sug- gested that Colorado had gone back- {ward since the vote was given to { women. Some one wanted to know if the ballot had not made women coarser. Another wanted to know if it had not tended to break up the home, while an elderly man with side whiskers, solemnly asked why the women of California had abused the ballot by voting for Roosevelt. Mrs. Boisse- vain stood her ground firmly, her hus- band every once in a while smilingly whispering suggestions. About the only question Mrs. Bois- sevain really sidetracked was the sub- Jject of her talk: “Have the Press Treated the Suffrage Question Fairly?” After a bit of coaxing, she said the American press had, if contrasted with the newspapers of England. Mrs. she said was the conventionalism of the press, asserting that the news- papers should get a working acquain- tance with new questions of life. Boissevain, however, objected to what | ‘At present,” she said, ‘‘the incli- nation when it is not to vilify a new theory, is to ridicule it. Now, I have no objection to ridicule—in fact, T think it is the healthiest test possible as to the worthwhileness of any idea if Not Most Sacred of itutions. or individual—but I don’t want crit- icism to stop at ridicule. I want the new theory to be understood, to be weighed in the balance, to be retained as to those parts of it which are worth thile. “The public wants something that it can depend on for truth and clean thinking, and, belleve me, it is sick and tired of reading from day to day its own paltry and unnourished ‘opin- ions reflected in the newspapers. A healthy community, like a healthy in- dividual, wants new standards all the time, and, the range of individual ex- perience being so limited, it depends upon those whose range of life is greater to furnish it with the newest standards.” S There were no facts of life, she said, no matter how startling, that the pub- lic would shrink from, if presented sincerely and with a high degree of artistry. “I look upon the press,” she went on, “as one of the most valuable, if not sacred, of all human institutions, more powerful even than the drama in the matter of education and just as powerful nowadays as the ‘movies’ will be in the future. It seems to me then that in the discharge of this educational function it must make use of a more than average intelli- gence, more than average conscien- tiousness, more than average amount of sympathy and enlightenment. Upon it thousands upon thousands of indi- viduals depend for education and ac- quaintance with life in all its phases.” trouble will follow. Taken whenever there js Tested by resist disease.

Hoasehold Notes Ha.rdwood floors should be duste duned daily- Hot vinegar is good to serve with spinach. Always break rather than cut as- paragus. Never cover the pot in which you cook greens. Boil brass curtain rings in vine- sar to clean them. Sanitary doughnut cutters are made of hard wood. The bedréoms in a house should always suggest repose. Rhubarb jam is a good filling for the children’s sandwiches. The best dressing for asparagus is butter and pure cream. The most popular coffee pots those of the drip variety. are Camphorated oil will remove white spots from furniture. A combination of rhubarb and orange makes a deliclous jam. Old tablecloths are good cut up into washcloths in case of sickness. The simpler, thinner and fresher summer curtains, can be the better. Tatting is revived, not only for use on collars, but for centerpieces. Spiced rhubarb makes an appetiz- ing relish to serve with cold meats. A broom cover made of velveteen is excellent for going over dusty walls. | During housecleaning time all door hinges and all castors should be ofled. ! clt glass needs thorough scour- ; ing and scrubbing to bring out its'’ beauty. If one has but a few mushrooms, the mest economical way to serve | them is on toast. A good sauce for sieved spinach is made of lemon juice, paprika, salt and melted butter. Gilt frames may be brightened by rubbing with new baked bread moist- | ened with ammonia. English mint sauce is made with broth added to the usual water, vine- gar, salt and sugar. i Pokeweed tops, wild mustard, sor- rel, pigweed and purslane are all good greens in springtime. Once a month put calcium chlo- ride in a pan and set it on the floor. to absorb all dampness. There are lots of attractive metal utensils in which food can be cooked and brought direct to the table.

N A business office which I sometimes have occasion to visit there are over a dozen typists and stenographers, some of them very pretty. But as I pass through their department my eye always rests with pleasure on one trim little figure. I don’t suppose by the canons of beauty she Wwould be judged as particularly pretty; certainly she is not as pretty as some of the other girls. It is the taste and distinctiveness of her simple but attractive little office rig which makes her stand out, My little typist has red hair and gray eyves, and she bhuilds her clothes out of gray and green, Perhaps she may var this at home, but I haves never seen her wearing any other color in the oflice. The last time I saw her was in winter. shirtwaist, very simple but well cut, and skirt of a slightly darker gray. Kelly green. touch of green.

Her salary is by no But by selecting she has created She stands out among more of them. You may follow the stylge own if yolt will put enough thought and taste into the matter, There is never anything old-fashioned or out of style about my little typist's wardrobe, and yet by her clever use of those two colors she makes her clothes distinctive. Gray and green stand for her in people’s minds. They are her trade mark, and since they suit her so well, a very attractive trade mark. I know several people who have adopted some kind of clothes trade mark and I think it 18 an excellent idea. the girl who never appeared without some touch of scarlet. I believe I have told you about Another girl whom I used to know in college always wore a beautiful string of corals. In my mental picture of this girl the corals are almost as much a part of.g, her as the sweet pale face, the gray eyes and the soft, dark hair. She always wore the colors with which coral is particularly exquisite, such as dull blue and soft green, and the whole effect was a distinction and charm of appearance which comes vividly back to me across the vears, although prettier faces and handsomer frocks than hers are quite forgotten. Have your clothes distinction, or might they just as well someone else? belong to Distinction, you know, does not necessarily cost any more, at least not. in money.
