It difficult matter to select | bills that will prove popular with all classes. Some of the most ex- pensive of attractions, although staged with all the care and attention that metropolitan productions receive, have not proved financial successes. Man- ager Birch has had a most capable company and their efforts have been fully appreciated. “The Belle of Richmond,” the at- traction for next week, is now being rehearsed and the company is taking a special interest in the preparation of the closing bill. With a setting in the southern city and most of the characters of the south a most pleas- ing atmosphere obtains from the pro- duction. The quaint southern dialect will be used. The DODulniity of “Man’selle,” continues, there being large audiences at every perform- ance. dicated in spondence is a most KEENEY’S THE PLACE ON MEMORIAL\DAY Local people seeking entertainment on Memorial day will make no mis- take in paying a visit to Keeney's where a fine holiday bill is to be of- fered. The management has ranged an excellent program and the bill will, no doubt, give satisfaction to all who attend. The new ventilating plant, installed last week, is now in operation and the theater is probably the coolest spot in town. The atmosphere is kept at sixty degrees and the air is constantly changing. If you are look- ing for relief from the humidity to- morrow, drep in at Keeney’s. It the vaudeville program and motion pictures do not serve to keep you, the cool and refreshing air will make vou loll back in your seat and stay to the finish. You'll enjoy yourself, too. One of the most pleasing acts in this week’s show is the singing and dancing specialty given by Mond and Salle, a pair of female impersona- tors. These young men have a high- ly pleasing act. They have remark- ably sweet soprano voices, the qual- ity of which is evidenced in the sev- eral numbers they render. They make a most pleasing appearance and experience no difficulty in deceiving the audience. A beautiful plush curtain which they use helps to make their setting effective. Sims and his eight honeysuckles entertain with lively song numbers and some good dancing. Edwards, shadowgraphist, has a novel and amusing turn and Lambert and Perry give a juvenile song and conversa- tional act that pleases. The motion picture program for tomorrow will be appropriate for the day. Several patriotic films will be shown. ar- ENTERTAINMENT FOR CHILDREN TOMORROW The IFox theater will present for Saturday two reel feature picture especially interesting to the children and the young people, entitled, ““The War of the Lilliputians,” and as danc- ing is at its height, the management Wwill show on this day the screaming comedy, “A Tango Tragedy.” Another picture that will please tne kidlets will be, “A Circus Day in Toyland." Beside these special features there will be an abundant number of other sensational and interesting pictures. Saturday will close the engagement of La France and Brennan in their society dances, and those who have tions concede them to be the peers in their line. “The Rose Maid” at Parsons’ Adding to their laurels every day by the brilliant and fascinating pre- ntation of “The Rose Maid" at Par- sons’ theater, Hartford, this week, the Lyric Players are attracting very large audiences and strengthening their hold on the affections of Hart- fard playgoers. The remarkable standard set duving the first week has been morc than maintained by the spirited manner in which the dainty operetta is being sung and acted. Florence Webber in the title role is captivating. week, the Lyric Players will return to a lively, breezy musical comedy, the kind of, that they can master to perfection, as demonstrated by their work in “The Red Mill.” The third bil] is to be Robert B. Smith’s American-Cor- sican jollity, “A Knight For a Day,” a highly-seasoned gaiety that will prove a deliclous morsel for hot weather amusement mastication.

Contrasted with the narrowest of | mousquetaire sleeves, the neck ruche {in Dlue-grounded black net seems enormously wide and full. Despite the extreme character of its drapings, its ruche and its sleeves, this plaid suit modish and has been greatly admired. Cuffs extending half way between the elbow and the shoulders are startling details of the dark blue soutache-striped coat of a white serge suit. Short strands of the braid run diagonally, partly ‘across the widely turned-back fronts, simu- lating revers on its shoulder-wide collar. Not an inch of soutache, however, is on the skirt, the scanty width of which is drawn forward and upward to fall in folds which are caught in for several inches below the waist line. Chinese Hat With The blue aigrette-trimmed toque and the heavily-patterned lace veil worn with this costume are not eccentric-looking when compared with a bridle-fastened bowl-shaped dlack straw Chinese hat worn by a young girl above a red striped white erge jacket. The stripes run diag- mally on the back and crossed fronts, and horizontally on the white linen- covered ball buttons trimming the wide sleeves and enormously wide pockets which cover the hips. a Only Are Combined. jet-beaded Coral and Black The loose bodice in black tulle veiling coral chiffon is rounded at the neck, and drops in straight, loose folds under the top of the skirt's flounce, making it strongly resemble an Oriental blouse in all respects save the sleeves, which fit the arms closely to the wrists.

A big black cape made so it is versible, and lined with some brilli color, is as useful as it is fashionable. Capes are of every varicty and color, but generally conceivable none is more becoming than the simple of Red and White. | Hoasehold Notes ~When ¢ hen rlea.n!nz with mn"na stand the gasoline bottle in a basin of hot water until the gasoline is warm A strong solution of borax and hot water poured down the sinks and drains will rid them of any offensive cdor.

Mothers are often unconsciously very careless about the diet of their children, forcing all to eat the same foods. The fact is that all foods do not agree alike with different persons. Hence, avold what seems to consti- pate the child and or to give it in- digsstion and urge it to take more of what is quickly digested. If the child shows a tendency to constipation it should immediately be given a mild laxative to help the bowels. By this is not meant a physic or purgative, for these should never be given to children, nor anything like salts, pills, etc. What the child re- quires is simply a small dose of the | gentlest of medicines, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, in the opinion of thousands of watchful mothers, is the ideal remedy for any child showing a tendency to consti- pation. So many things can happen to a constipated child that care is necessary. Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness, and many other annoy- ances that children should not have can usually be traced to constipation. Many of America’s foremost famili are never without Syrup Pepsin, be- cause one can never tell when some member of the family may need it, and all can use it. Thousands en- dorse it, among them Mrs. M. E. Pat- ten, Valley Junction, Iowa, who is never without it in the house. Mrs. RALPH M. PATTEN Patten says that Syrup Pepsin hus done wonders for her boy Ralph, who was constipated from birth but is now doing fine. Naturally she is enthusi- astic about it and wants other mothers to use it. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep- sin is sold by druggists at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the latter size being bought by those who al- ready know its value, and it contains proportionately more. Everyone like Syrup Pepsin as it is very pleasant to the taste. It is also mild and non-griping and free from injurious ingredients. Families wishing to try ple bottle can obtain it addressing Dr. W.

NEIGHBOR of mine wants me to tell my summer vacation which she took last year. For many years this family has taken a cottdge at a summer resort. Last year, for several reasons, this was impossible “1 was tired,” said my neighbdr, “and it seemed to me I couldn't go on with the work at home. You know it's not so hard at a summer cottage, because you live so much more simply. One night in June I wus thinking it over rather bitterly, when the idea came to me—why not have a summer vaca- tion at home? After all, there's nothing to prevent our living simply right here. Why not pretend it's a summer cottage, and live as if it were? “And so we did. “In the first place, we went through the house and took out all the things we didn’t really need, such as ornaments, some of the draperies and rugs, and some of the furniture, und put them all together in a store- room upstairs. The children helped me and we pretended we were moving to our summer house, and made quite a game of it. You can't imagine how much simpler that made it to keep the house in order, and it was no more bare than a summer cottage. “We used a great many paper dishes and we did the same thing in our home vacation. “Then at camp We never do so much cooking. you know you can really get just as good bread if you count your labor as worth anything, you can get it as cheap. We have nice boughten orackers instead of cake and for dessert we almost always have some kind of fruit. [ did all this at home, and in addition as a treat for the children I bought a small, convenient freezer and let them make simple ices or sherbets whenever they wanted “There are many more conveniences in my home than In a summer cottage, so altogether, I found the work decidedly easier than it would have been if we had gone awa Of course, 1 missed the change, and the worst thing was the children's disappointment But I tried to make it up to them. Not having to pay cottage rent, husband allowed me a little money for amusement, and once or twice a week I took the child- ren on a picnic of some sort. Children get a lot of fun out of anticipa- tion and to always have something like this to look forward to helped “Then, as I said before, I let them make ice cream whenever they wanted, and have little ice cream partles for their friends. Another thing which they always enjoyed was having lunch on the veranda. They were glad to do the extra work Involved. Fortunately we have a large back vard, so I let them go barefoot, which they love to do. “So, altogether, our summer wasn't at all the disappointment and fail- ure it would have been if we hadn’'t made up our minds to have our vaca tion at home. Needless to say, I'm happy to pass along the restfulness of life at the summer camp is that it is life stripped of its formalities and reduced to its lowest terms A summer at home can be made a vacation at home, If we will only remember this fact. reader friends about the A napking at camp, and so l)u} our bread— good aker's, and We at a my this little story.
