FOX’S place .on every other woman. The satin basque closes between bust and waist line with five buttons and is draped about the hips in loose folds like those of a child’s sash. Its Premet collar frill in tulle shows a lcw-necked guimpe in crossed-over bands of white tulle, and on its colo- nial sleeves are cuffs frill-edged with tulle. If that model does not show your figure to advantage, consider a basque ruckering all the way down the centre front and curving over the hips like a pannier peplum. Its sleeves are mous- quetaire, and its neck, cut to short V, forming three elongated points, tassel- tipped. One of these points salls over the centre of the back and the other two toward the bust. Decollete Jersey of Black Satin. Fancy a decollete jersey! You should be able to imagine almost any incon- sistency in this era of remarkable modes in clothes. This model, in black satin, worn with a tulle skirt bordered with five graduated widths of satin ribbon, comes far over the hips, fast- ens invisibly under the left arm and in front is curved to within four inches of the waist line. But the decolletage is filled in with white tulle. Fascinating Blue Velvet Basque, Have you by any chance, ‘encoun- tered a little basque in azure velvet? It is adorable. And there is so little of it to adore! The narrowest of fronts, it is delicately puckered at the armpits.

If you are doubtful about this draped basque, what do you think of one in cyclamen colored taffeta, closely gath- ered toward the row of rather prom- irent ball buttons closing its fronts? Relow this conspicuous row of fasten- ings fall the loosely knotted green em- broidery bordered sash ends of a girdle which swathing the hips broad- ly is cut in one with the back of the basque. Very much wrinkled mousquetaire sleeves start from the small arm-eyes of a simulated silk underblouse. But this shows only at the sides because the arm-eyes of the basque proper are very long, loose or wide. Differing radically from the neck finishing of any of the other new models is the collar of this cyclamen- colored basque. In self-materal lined vith green silk, it stands high about the nape of the neck and the ears, and rolls slightly to show its contrasting facing. Surely it will be easy to find a basque model to sult your ideas of what best becomeg you. The only difficulty will be in resisting the temptation to order too many of them to go with your collection of lace and tulle skirts. | KEENEY’S HAS GREAT BILL FOR THIS WEEK There was much favorable com- ment on the musical part of last week’s bill st Keeney's* Theater, but the management has an act for this week which eclipses it and which is believed to be by far the best on the circuit.

ROSS, AT FOX’S Judging from the crowded houses at Fox's theater these days, the New Pritain theatergoers must enjoy the popularity of the Famous Players Films. This new policy which was inaugurated last Saturday with no ad- vance in prices has met with the un- qualified approval of all the. Fox's patrons, The initia]l showing of “The Brute” was well patronized. Com- mencing with today’s matinee and offered for tomorrow also is another Famous Players release from Augus- tus Thomas’' famous play “Checkers,” known all over the country, with Thomas W. Ross, America’s foremost light comedian playing his original character. He having been again secured as the star, “Checkers’” is now offered by the Famous Players Film company as a six-part feature photo- play staged under the personal direc- tion of Augustus Thomas, America's foremost playwright and stage direc- tor. Supporting Mr. Ross is a great cast of Broadway favorites, and the production has been made without consideration of expense, hundreds of actors appearing in the great racing and betting ring scene. The story of “Checkers” briefly told, follows: Fdward Campbell, known ' as “Checkers,” works his way up from a messenger boy to a clerkship in a bank. Upon the death of his mother he gets into bad company, loses his pesition, and is without friends who can help him. Coaxed into a gambling house, he loses his last dollar, and then is given a job as dealer. One evening there is a fight during which a man is killed. Checkers is suspect- ed, but innocent. Fearful, he deter- mines to get away from the city. Meeting a race horse tout, Push Miiiler, they make their way south to the track. Winning some money, they fcllow the horses to Hot Springs. Arthur Kendall, a young man gets very friendly with Checkers. Kendall goes off on a sprce, and his sweetheart and her father come to bring him home, and Arthur-will go only if Checkers accompanies him. Wishing to earn an honest living Checkers takes the opportunity, and goes to work in the general store of Arthur's father. Arthur's sweetheart breaks her engagement with him and Checkers falls in love with her. He makes love to her against the wishes of her father, is sent away, and is told nct to return until he has made money by hard and honest labor. Leaving Clarksville, Checkers is unable to secure any employment. One day, broke, he drifts down to the track, Loping to meet some of his old friends from whom he can borrow some money. His sweetheart, her father the same day. In desperation at see- ing them there, Checkers bets the §50 gold piece given him on a horse called “Remorse” at odds of 100 to 1. Kemorse wins, he wins the girl and all are made happy. !

I( Fads and Fashions ! The fashion of high hairdressing has made fashionable many beautiful combs and pins. White taffeta frocks with fitted bas- ques and full tunie skirts are immense- 1y popular, Dyed laces aTe to be used, but metal laces are expected to outlive anything so far shown. The proper silhouette is now erect; the spineless, slouchy carriage is no longer tolerated. Charming little hats for the small girl are made of muslin, trimmed with _bands of colored beads. The leading feature in fall footwear is the button boot, with whole quarter of gaiter effects. Among the newest skirts are those with long overskirts, open to the waist and with rounded corners. and Arthur Kendall are at the track x Sports coats for the present are made of white chinchilla, white velour, cheviots and novelty cloths. The sleeves of the new gowns are long and loose fitting, and are set in at the normal shoulder line. Very smart is the lace blouse with Roman striped silk bodice that cov- ers all but the sleeves and decollete. Long sleeves are a distinct feature of the new blouse. They are fashioned after the mousquetaire pattern. Some of the new chemisettes are s0 severe in line that they closely re- scmble the bosom of the full dress shirt. The small sister’s school dress may be made of serge or homespun and worn with white linen or pique collar and cuffs. Crepon is a thoroughly practical material for blouses, as it requires no ironing and it can be used to fashion a blouse of the severest lines, T s : lousehold Notes % NE—— Aluminum kitchen utensils should never be washed with soda.
