&y Bolero-Coatee Costume Is Not a Wrap But a Bodice It(Is New and Very Chic—A Taffeta Coatee Is Charm- ingly Original When Worn With a Transparent Frock—Double Ruffles for Tall Girl. Always it is a part of the frock— the bolero-coatee. Very chic, too, is that little jacket which pretends to be ®'a wrap, but which actually is a bodice, generally drawn over a blouse of sheerness or transparency. Usually, too, the coatee's material matches the underdress or the band upon the skirt. Nevertheless, that is not a hard and fast rule. For the charm about rresent day fashions is that they per- " it of vagaries so long as the vagaries #1e not of an outre sort. Certainly there is nothing what- ever outre about a costume in dark- cst green and chalk white which has Just. started for the Adirondacks in company with the pretty. girl who ordered it. The under dress in white serge scarcely shows beneath the hem s.0f a straight falling overdress in green silk rep, trimmed about the " hips at back and sides with a green fioss embroidered bias ruffle five inches wide, applied flatly. Its gar- rishing accords with that bordering the bolero, which, onnly enough, is sathered into a narrow belt defining a raised waist line and buckling over a * w whité’ batiste bodice with waistcoat fronts extended in points over the hips. While the sleeves are of tailored “shirt” shape there is a high flaring collar, merging with a pair of short revers turned back upon the bolero’s fronts. Visualize with fancy’'s eyes this frock worn with a soft crowned, rolling brimmed, untrimmed black velvet hat of moderate size. Is not “'the ensemble a fetching one? But it is not more so than a costume seen the Other morning at the Meadow Club, Southampton, The day was hot and everybody looked uncomfortable save a brown-eyed girl in blue and white. ' Plain blue linen broadly banded a perfectly straight skirt in blue dotted white batiste and a plain white batiste collar—much wider than an Eton lad’s -—that was turned back flatly from the neck of a little coatee in blue linen, btuttoning straight from throat to waist. There are seamless, dartless fronts loosely drawn up from the sides under a white buckle and wrinkled at Wwill part way over the hips, Sleeves, cut in one piece with jthe Jacket, fell loosely upon the arms from i the elbow and, although a band of white batiste peeped from below théir edges no one supposed the jacket con- cealed a blouse. The coatee was also a bodice. Double Ruffles For the Tall Girl. By this time mearly every girl whose early summer wardrobe in- cluded a frock in white lace or em- broidered batiste has a silk coatee to wear with it. 1If ithe 'skirt in batiste is ultra chic it is trimmed with double ruffles, thé upper one in embroidery. overlapping one in plain batiste. These ruffles are not, in tiers, but are applied half way down the hips, mildway of the hips'and the knees, and between ‘the knees and the ankles, showing the hem .of the skirt. This treatment makes a . series breaks between the waist and the feet which delights -the girl who imagines that she is ‘too tall, yet would not:look an ounce less slender. Never as yet has the flatly placed ruffle made any figure look bulky. With one of these double ruffle trimmed batiste skirts is worn a .coatee in orchid = taffeta, self-tone embroidered motifs are on the flaring elbows of its narrow sleeves and on the square corners of its loose back, which falls over a high girdle hold- ing in the fulness of the sides and fronts, which stop at the walst line.

A La Cart Service at All Hours. PIERCE & NORTON, ‘Bristol, Conn. * Props. Low curved at center of back and front, the neck of this coatee is fin- ished with a narrow batiste collar lying almost flatly upon the silk. It is inconspicuous and the style of the costume is left to the coatee or to its accompanying white ‘velour hat, whose crown is covered with white pansies of heroic size. Taffeta Coatee With Sheer Frock. Charmingly original is a taffeta coatee which is most alluring when worn with a transparent frock. The model, which came to New York last week, has an¥indefinitely draped skirt and long sleeves in bluet chif- fon. They match the shade of a taffeta coatee, whose cut-in-one, very wide elbow sleeves are drawn up to the shoulders and there caught un- der a black velvet bow. The fronts of the jacket runming into short tabs, crossed ries the narrowest of collars in silk, extending flatly from the shoulders to the bust, but standing straight out from the neck’s nape. Tulle Overdress and Peplum. Tulle of intense coloring is em- ! ployed in the development of some of the new costumes whose coatees are in plain silk or in shot taffeta matching a foundation skirt which scarcely shows. The tulle, thickly pleated, forms a long overdress or a wide flounce, overlapped by a nar- rower one. At times the coatee covers the waist line; ,again it s girdled, and not infrequently it is ex- tended over the hips. Occasionally a peplum in pleated tulle is added. Sleeves in tulle often have deep cuffs of the silk, trimmed with ball but- tons, but they are also seen cut off at the elbow and narrow frill fin- ished. Tulle lends itself admirably to the fashioning of the narrow frills, which are taking the place of broad, trans- parent collars. They are a scant inch and a half broad and top fin- ished with a tiny flat edging, fine as a spider’s web. $25,000 PHOTO PLAY AT KEENEY’S TODAY Today and tomorrow will be the biggest days of the week at Keeney's theater because of the popular $25,- 000 prize photo play, “The Perils of Pauline.”” These pictures proved to be s0 popular that the management has arranged for the locval playhouse to keep each release for two days. The act that is attracting the most attention this week is the offering of Revolving Collins, a roller skater of exceptional ability. This is the first appearance of Mr. Collins in New Britain since roller skating became the craze, and everybody in the audi- ence' joined-in and gave generous ap- plause. * The tricks.4n this produc- tion differ widely from the general run of those indulged in by stage en- tertainers, and novelty is the keynote of the offering. i The act of a thousand laughs would characterize exactly the musical sketch of Fenner and Fox, two clever New York musical comedy artists. Such song hits as ‘‘Beautiful Eggs’’ and “Lovable Child” are sung by these two character singers to perfec- tion, and it is not until a large reper- toire of songs are sung that the sing- ers are allowed to go off the stage. The Funny Finns show the assem- blage just how boxing should be done. Mrs. Finn has at her command the famous punches of most of the pres- ent day prize fighters. The different tricks of fighting are placed at the disposal of the audience, and they show their appreciation by applauding loudly whenever an especially good biff is recorded on Mr. Finn's jaw. The act is well worth seeing for those pugilistically inclined. The Colonial Opera Four is the musical act of the bill, and it is in- deed seldom that such an act is in- troduced in summer vaudeville. Four select pieces from Italian opera are sung in perfect time with Keeney's eight piece orchestra, This mixed quartet have everything their own way when it comes to American songs also, This fact was demonstrated FOX’S THEATRE Today only, “PRICE OF TREACHERY," 5 part drama of the sea. “HER RAGGED KNIGHT” Featuring Florence Lawrence.

NEW BIJOU THEATER WILL OPEN AUGUST 1 The Bijou theater will open Satur- day, August 1, under new manage- ment after overhauling, renovating and installing a new cooling system, new machines, a new mirror screen and painting the interior, The man- agement wishes to let its patrons know they have the prettiest and best ventilated picture house in New Brit- ain. All the latest and best feature photo plays will be shown there dally, featuring Saturday “A Woman's Treachery,” a story of Russian in- trigue, in four parts, SOME GOOD FILMS AT FOX'S THEATER “The Price of Treachery,” or “The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter,” a wonderfully realistic production of life on the deep showing a tremen- dous storm at sea, the blowing up of a larger schooner, and the heroic rescue of the captain and the cook ‘from the troublesome waters will be shown at Fox's theater today as the big feature attraction. he story is full of heart interest and sentiment and deals with the oldest son of a re- spected family who takes upon him- self a crime committed by his young- er brother and is driven from home] by his implacable father. Hé be- comes captain of the schooner “Har- land,” 'which founders and blows up during the heavy gale, but he and the cook are rescued in a thrilling scene by the lighthouse keeper and his daughter. The younger brother hav- ing previously met this attractive maiden, tries to abduct her, but the plan is foiled and he pays the pen- alty of his foolhardiness with his life. The oldest son falls in love with the girl and after a strenuous courtship marries her. This produc- tion is clearly and intelligently told in five wonderful reels. Another feature and one that will be im- mensely enjoyed, is “Her Ragged Knight' featuring Miss Florence Law- rence, the popular screen star. The balance of the motion-picture program consists of “The Polo Champ- jons” with Max Ascher the inimitable comedian playing a very funny role, and “Her Grave Mistake” a Universal rural drama which make up a two hour entertainment that is uncom- parable. Tomorrow is ‘“Perils of Pau-- line” day when the tenth episode will be shown.

We were discussing the charactzr of a mutual acquaintance the day. Someone called him selfish; someone else defended him. As article in his defense a lavish gift to a neighbor's child was mention “That doesn’t prove anything,” retorted his critic, “he lik things to Ruth. He's fond of her. He doesn't selfish, He does it because he likes to.” The talk swung off to other points for and against the defendant, I did not follow it further because I was traveling down the vista Wi the critic’s last words had opened. selfish, He does it because he likesto.” How confused, crisscrossed and but partially understood by the wi of us are the springs of human action! And how difficult, nay how impossible, even if one could see sts into men’s hearts and could understand these springs of action, would be to measure and weigh human goodness and say, “This man is better ti that”; “the other deserves more credit than this one.” This man's critic denied him credit for his generosity becausq he joyed it. How much of all the generosity in the world do you suj is entirely free from the motive of self-gratification?
