The characters 'are so cleverly impersonated ~that they arouse a deep appréciation of thé performers. The eléments of lové, pathos and comedy aré so strongly accentuated that ‘‘standing roém only” is forecasted for the weéek. There will be a matinee .Thursday afternoon.. Manager Birch announced today a change in the attraction for the comn- ing week. Instead of “Little Miss Brown,” the well known . comiedy “Over Night” will be the .offering. This change was madé aftér a care- ful study of the script. “Over Night” is one of the livéliest comedies of recent years. The plat is most . entertaining and. contains a wealth of humor that will appeal to the régular attendants of the Lyceum attractions. BANJO PLAYERS One of the most entertaining numbers on Keeney’s bill this week is furnished by Collins and the Clifton P'sisters, a trio of banjo players. While these people present the convéntional musical turn, their playing is of such a high grade that they win great ap- plause at every performance and have to respond repeatedly with eéncores. They offer a program of popular and semi-classical selections, intérspersing. some clever imitations. Their act is one that lovers 'of banjo music can- not afford to miss. \ Popular with the patrons of the theater is Florence Talbot, the only “lone performer on the bill. Miss thot is a clever singing comedignng al?d #er songs finds favor ‘every d.g She has a style peculiarly M; ‘and. her' thannérisms: captivate mg f dience "at eVery 'performance. songs are well chosen and t.he patrons appreciate them. * big novelty is the ‘IThree Harveys who in T eg J on bigycles.

The Harveys display great bril- y liancy and skill in’ riding around the stage ‘after the ball and also balanc- ing and juggling it on ‘shoert " poles Téring of | kets. The act is well worth seeing. Neuss and Eldrid, known in' vaude- ville as the Yappank Guardsmen, have a comedy acrobatic turn that is différent from ‘other tumbling num- bers on the stage. The comedy In the act .is extremely funny. Greeves and Coe favor with a muli- cal specialty, playing the trombone and saxaphone in partidularly énter- taining style. Their comédy work is also of a high order and smacks of the bygone days when minstrelsy was at the zénith of its popularity. It is those who havé béen about theé meost exclusive shops in New York this séason who appreéciate best the aft noon gowns at Miss Ryan’'s shép 79 Pratt street, Hartford. Once ih a while they are spoken of as éxtreme, but it is only beeause they are advance styles, and hasn’t Miss Ryan made it thé policy of her shop for years that ls(yle- shall appear thére the moment they are launched and not wait until every one is figuréd chiffons, wearing them? The the pussy willow taffetas and ' striped taffetas, the nets— all the beautiful models now will be plenty enough an- other season, but by that time Miss Ryan will have others equally ad- vanced, o those who pick up the new. things when they first come into her shop will always be ahead In the game of fashion.—advt.

Mayor Mitchel “In Dutch” with Women Suffrage Leaders They Say He Made a Speech to Them Intended for Antis — He Claims He Is Not Opposed to Suffrage, Though Not Enthusiastic’ for- It. Mayor Mitchel has found.that he had put himself “in Dut¢h” with cer- tain leaders of the suffragist move- ment by his speech in Carnegie hall, New York, Saturday night. The leaders who had made known their opinions of his speech up to Monday night were Mrs. Harriot, Stanton Blatch and Mrs. Norman de R. White- house. Both said they felt sorry for the mayor oh accéunt of his youth, his lack of experience and his seem- ing inability to grasp the principles of true democracy. At a suffragist tea at Delmoénico's downtown Monday Mrs. Blatch dound- ed the political death knell of the mayor, so far as the suffragists were concerned. Her pronduncéement wae in part: “Our dear young mayor has be- come the campaign document of the suffragists. The Women’s Political union is after him, and any ambition he may cherish of a future job as mayor or governor or the man higher up will be neatly derailed if the women have their way."” Mayor Denles Hostility. Mayor Mitchel, after reading the comments on his speech, denied that | he had gone on record as opposed to woman suffrage. He was surprised and somewhat chagrined that ais speech had elicited her comments from Mrs. Batch. He said: ‘An examination of my speéech will nét show anything against woman suf- frage, I am not opposed to woman suffrage, but I am not an enthusias- tie supporter of it. If 1 were sat- isfied that a majority of women in this country were in favor of it I would véte for it. ‘I think the in comment Mrs. ed. - It shows that all gréat move- { ments:of, a radical kind go fosward through'sacrifice of oné kind or an- other. . The women’s suffrage move- ment s¢éems to be progressing at the expense of courtesy in women.” “Is Mrs, Mitchel a suffragist?” the mayor was asked. “*Yes, she believes in votes for wom- en.” he said. “*Mrs. Blatch said plainly that you did not.” “I'm not analyzing the brains women,” was the mayor’s final reply. Mrs. Blatch. at the tea vyesterday elaborated her criticism of the mayor, in part as follows: “Of course, he had a headache. Sec- ing that and knowing that he was about to address the antis also, I be- lieved, with motherly broadmindedness, that he had mixed things and deliv- eréd to us the speech intended for them. I felt like saying, ‘Oh, my dear young boy, you have a great deal j to learn.® ‘He said that anything , woman wanted from man she could get. How perfectly absurd. In his own family, Mrs. Mitchel is in favor of woman suffrage, but she hasn’t been able to convert him. He said that if enough women wanted suffrage they would get it. ~ Every woman in the state might want it, but they couldn't get it until they had induced a majority of the men ta vote for it.” CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

The width | 1“THE WHIP,” PARSONS,’ ALL OF NEXT WEEK Dear old fashioned melodrama, which everyone considered quite dead 8nd buried, has been given a new lease of life and made the greatest success of the past decade. Great melodramas originated at the Drury Lane theater, London, and it is there- fore fitting that “The Whip,” which ran there for two solid years, should \be the means of putting this kind of ertertainment on its feet again. Fol- lowing in the wake of London, New York became crazy over “The Whip,” which theatergoers of New Britain will have a chance to see when it is brought to Parsons’ theater, Hart- ford, all next week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. If blase followers of the drama in i these two centers of the newest and best that is to been seen in things theatrical went mad over “The Whip” thére must be a reason. There are many. Never before were 80 many thrills scattered through an evening's performance: to mention only a few, ‘there is an automobile accident, a rail- 10ad wreck and a horse race, all shown in full view of the audience. SOME GOOD PICTURES TO BE SEEN AT FOX’S l It is really amazing how much a rerson can see for ten cents at the Fox theater. First anl foremost of | teday’s offerings will be the Pathe weekly showing the navy yards at Thiladelphia; 1,000 marines loading | supplies on the transport Morro Castle; Galveston, Texas, where 10,000 American troops, weary of the long tedious service on the border, hail with delight the order to invade Huerta’s domain; Boston. “All aboard for:Mexico,"” the battleships Nebraska #nd Virginia laden with marines and supplies set sail from Charlestown Navy yard; Pensacola, Fla., fleld guns, fiying machines, ammunition, food supplies and a boatload of our Jolly | Ters on the Birmingham and Missis- You can see the world over and travels faster thwan train or ship. The added attraction will be the wonderfully realistic photo play, “Be- i hind the Footlights.” Almost each . and every person who visits a theater is curious to know what goes on be- hind the footlights. Here's your ! chance, then. ‘Making him over for Minnfe,” is the title of 4 screaming farce comedy that is shown for one purpose only and that purpose is to make you laugh.

When the water boils well take out the lemon peel. Take the saucepan from the fire, add the flour by degrees, beating well. Put the paste so made back on the fire for a few moments. Remove from the fire, beat the eggs into it, one at a time. Beat in the currants. Have a pan of lard ready, not too hot at first. Take a téaspoon and drop a teaspoonful of the paste in the lard.

F-(\DS‘ AND FASHIONS, It is said colored wigs are becom- ing more the fashion in Paris, espe- cially for private wear with tea gowns. With the low-necked dresses of the present day it séems impossible for a woman to do without a string of pearls. For dress occasions Paris still favors the small black handbag of Pekin or other silk, finished with a ] tassel at the end. i/ Minute Wise and Hour Foolish By RUTH CAMERON. S THE child which is waited on by I pier than a child who is taught to help himself? Certainly not Is he any better off? A thousand times, no. If the balance of benefit and happiness tips either way toward the child who is taught to help himself and others, And yet we all know many mothers who wgit upon their children pay others to wait upon them, as minutely as if the children were physicall) helpless or feeble minded. Why do they do it? Partially, I think, because they foclishly and mistakenly believe th they are making the child happler. . And partially because they are too shortsighted and impatient to the extra effort required to start the child in habits of self help. easier to button a child’s shoes than to show him how. of easier that always brings a harder later on. The other day I saw a young mother push away the which were struggling to button his coat, and heard her say “Here, leet me do it. We'll never getout of here if I wait for you.” In so discouraging his effort to help himself she saved a moment that day, and lost I know not how.many moments for the future., So showed herself minute wise and hour foolish. As soon as children begin to think and to play they can learn to themselves, The Montessori method has taught us that we can make the but e But it is the ki child’'s A inches from its babyhoed any haps it is certain ing of a shoe and the untying of a knot as much of a diversion to a chil as playing with his toys or tearing off the wall paper. A child is a storehouse of ‘pent-up energy. A great deal of so. naughtiness is merely this energy working itself off in inconvenient What Jacob A. Riis said about half grcwn boys is true in some d all children,—"Every American boy is a little steam boller with the always up. Sit on the safety valve and bang goes the boller.” Begin early to turn some of your children’s energy in useful di and you will be surprised at what you will accomplish. For instance, I know of a mother whose three year old boy puts self to bed. She helps him undress down stairs, then she kisses him night and he climbs the two flights of stairs to his bedroom and gets bed. - When he is safely in bed he calls good-night, and she switches ;'l;e light at the foot of the necond flight of stairs by which he has f s way. Again I know a little zno year old who loves to take off her gail rubbers, etc.,, when she comes in from her walk, and put them all in ti right places. The mother who trains the child to be hclpful and orderly him in many ways; and not the least is that she conserves her own and is thereby able to be a better mother to him all her life. i "#.2“_""‘" heaieh n wal more athletes.
