NEW BRITAIN DAITv "*FRALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1914. NeCkwéar Is to Form a Large Part of Every Lady’s Costume This Fall Separate Collar Which Ma¢ Be Worn With a Plain " Waist Fits Snugly to the Neck—It Is Hemstitched ' and Has a Picot Edging of Black. the fin- The important role played in ensemble of the costume by the ishing of the neck is recognized by all well dressed women. If ‘to the plain waist is added a smart collar, and possibly a frill, the entire ap- pearance is transformed. The separate collar which may ba worn with a plain waist, fits snugly to the neck. It is of plaited organdie, hemstitched, and finished by a picot edging of black. In the front the col- lar is wired and falls a little away from the neck. ‘At the bottom of the collar there are a black moire band and bow. Embroidered Net Vestee. The vestee and guimpe are going to be very much used this autumn in ma- terials such as tucked organdie and lace. A very attractive vestee is of embroidered net lace, cut with a high rolling collar and finished at the base of the collar by a black moire bana and bo Stiff linen collars and cuffs will con- tinue in their popularity this autumn. A novel vestee is of striped chiffon in blue on a white background. It is made with a high-rolling white chif- fon collar that fits well around the neck. The vestee is fastened in front by pearl buttons., Revival of Side Frill. The return of the side frill, that was so much in vogue five years ago, combined with the high frill, is a new feature of this season. Te ma- _terial of this vestee is of organdie, finished at the neck with a double hemstitched frill. The hemstitched frill is at the side of the vestee, which is fastened down the front, while make-believe buttonholes further adorn it. Of the many popular materials the material chosen for this hand em- broidered vestee is organdy. Unusual- ly pretty is the embroidered high roll- ing collar. Boudoir Jackets. Little sacks are most useful to throw over one’s shoulders when fix- ing the hair or when in bed. Most attractive is the blue chiffon jacket, made with kimono sleeves, finished by cuffs of the material, which have a ruffle put on by hemstitching. A very pretty chiffon ruffle encircles the waist and is finished in the back with a bow. In the front the sack has a very soft shawl collar of the material, with tassfls at the ends. This sack may be had in all colors. As bright colored stockings play such an important part in the -summer wardrcbe, the stores are showing a wide display of them. These stock- ings are of excellent quality. ‘White Crepe de Chine for Afternoon ‘Wear. A shop that has excellent dresses is now selling them at an extremely low price. Of white crepe de chine is a smart frock which is made with kimo- no sleeves, A vestee of white organdie is fas- tened down the front by crocheted buttons. The skirt has a long box pleated Russian tunic. A dress of this kind would be good to wear at the club in the afternoon.

TRACING--NO HOT IRON--MERELY A RUB OF THE THUMB NAIL IN THIS SYSTEM THE "NEWEST METHOD IN wood, metal, by merely Each design can In it will be the design On Table Talk By RUTH CAMERON. The extensive use of the weather as a topic of conversation has often been ridiculed, but to my mind it is not half so absurd as the solemn™ way in which we talk ubout our ‘likes and dislikes in the way of food. We use the weather merely as an introductory push to start the con- vensational ball rolling or as a sort of a supplementary courtesy to our “good morning’'—a perfectly legitimate use and doubtless one of the rea- sons why weather was made—but we don't sit down and talk about it for half an hour at a time. We don't solemnly and at length compare notes as to our preferences in the way of weather, our reasons for these prefer- ences, the preferences of our families and relatives and their reasons, and our experience in various kinds of weather. At least intelligent people don’t. But let the subject of alimentary likes and dislikes be brought up, and even the most intelligent people will sometimes discuss it with a prolixity and solemnity that are really quite amusing—if you can detuch yourself enough to see the absurdity Take a tableful of it, of well educated people who ought to have some- thing worth talking about and let somebody refuse some dish-—we'll say a plate of nice looking strawberries. “What, don’t you like strawberries?” says the hostess. The guest regretfully admits that he does not, Goodness, 1 like them better than any other berry,” announces another guest. “Blackberries are my favorite,” says the hostess, “but I have straw- berries more because they are more commonly liked.” “I like strawberries when they are ripe like this, but I don’t care much for the half ripe berries we usually get,” contributes another guest. “No fruit is good unless it is perfectly ripe,” says the traveler. “You can't imagine how much better oranges taste when you pick them off the trees, delicious pies.” Now, when I was in Florida—" “Blueberries will be here pretty soon Florida having been finally concluded). says the hostess (the trip to “I think they make the most “Don’t talk about them,” pleads a guest, with a wry face. “What, don’t you like them?” “Yes, but they don’t like me.” “Is that so, why they never hurt me at all. a time!” I can eat a quart at And so the exhilarating, stimulating conversation goes on and on, each announcing his own preference with an air of communicating an impor- tant plece of information and each paying little, if any attention to the communications of the rest of the party, Occasionally someone does get the general attention for a moment,“ by mentioning a violent antipathy for some almost universally liked dish. A friend of mine was lucky enough to have had a cousin who never ate any fruit and who was actually sickened at the smel] or sight of oranges. When the subject of likes and dislikes came up, she always contrived to tell of this antipathy, and then basked proudly in the reflected glow of distinction. pal ] . &inted to-day.

For to- day and tomorrow America's fore- most screen artist, Mary Pickford, will be seen in the famous tale of a wom- an’s unconquerable faith, ‘“Tess of ths Storm Country,” which is produced by the Famous Players Film com- pany and the story of which follows: Tessibel Skinner, a wild, mother- less little elf, lives with her father in a rude hut on the shore of Cayuga Lake. On account of the sudden and regular squalls on the lake the vicin- ity is called the “Storm Country,” while the poor and ignorant fisher- folk thereabout are generally known as ‘‘squatters.” Tess is one of these people, and adores her uncouth fath- er, who lives by poaching and the il- legal netting of fish. One day he is found near the body of a murdered game-keeper, with a rifle close by, containing one empty chamber. Skin- | ner is accused of the murder and con- | victed on circumstantial evidence. Tess is frantic with grief and anxiety, but Frederick Graves, a handsome student, and his sister Teola, befriend Tess. Frederick tells | her of God, of whom she has never | heard, and His written word, the Bible, and bids her pray and have faith, Tess steals a Bible from the mission house and painfully spells out ! the lessons taught her by Frederick.

Tess ana Frederick meet again, and one day as they stand in the squalid hut, looking into each other’s eyes, Tess innocent- ly receives her first kiss of love. Elder Elias Graves, Frederick's fath- er, a religious but bigoted and narrow man, the relentless enemy of the squatters, does his best to secure the conviction of Tess's father. Teola Graves is betrothed to Dan Jordan, who perishes in a fire, hnd leaves Teola worse than a widow. Teola does not dare tell her proud, harsh father of her pitiful plight. Tess hears her weeping one day in the woods, and takes her to the hut, shel- tering her there, when her babe 1s born. To shield Teola, Tess takes the child and care for it. Frederick finds the baby there on one of his calls, and circumstances force him to believe it is Tess’ baby. Rather than expose and disgrace his sister, who is now very ill, Tess allows him to believe the child hers, and he denounces her as a worthless woman, taking her Bible from her. Her father is still in prison, Frederick avolds her, the other squatters comment openly on her fall, and one of the fishermen persecutes and insults her. At last, in a tragically dramatic scene, Elder Graves publicly denounces Tess and the fatherless babe she holds to her breast. But Tevola, roused by her father’s denunciation of Tess, can re- main silent no longer and now comes forward and in the presence of the - big assemblage takes her baby in her arms and claims it as her own. The mystery is then cleared up. Besides this great dramatic produc- four single comedy reels will augment the highly interesting and diversified program, SOME FINE PICTURES ON KEENEY’S BILL A big audience enjoyed the war pictures as presented by Pathe's Weekly at Keeney's theater last even- ing and they were delighted with the fine vaudeville bill which is being presented there this week. It is sel- dom that there is such a meritorious jact on a bill as that of the flying acrobats. They seem to be able to do everything in, the acrobatic and the rapidity with which they per- form their vgrious stunts gives the act a humorous ‘coloring which the audi- ence likes and adds to the applause when the company leaves the stage. The act will remain on the bill this evening and tomorrow evening and those who fail to see it will miss one of the best vaudeville acts on the | circuit. The little sketch entitled, “The Grafter,” is taking well. There has { been so much talk of graft in public | places of late that people like to see what a grafter looks like and in this case Ernest Garr, who admits his guilt, has some fun out of the admission. It is a neat bit of work and is nicely worked out by Mr. Garr and company. White and White continue their fine dancing specialty, Claude Austin does his skilful jug- gling act and the Levy family pre- gent their musical act which has line | given so much pleasure during the week. Several new films are on the pro- gram for this evening and it is being remarked that the pictures at this theater are shown with perfect clear- ness. BIJOU THEATER HAS SOME WAR PICTURES The management of the Bijou thea- ter has succeeded in getting somse motion pictures depicting the person. nel of all the belligerent nations at war in Europe, showing the armies, leading commanders, monarchs and other notabies directly interested in the eventualities of the greatest war, probably, that has ever occurred. These pictures are headed, “Call to Arms” and are in three parts. They are of intense interest throughout and will be on exhibition for two days, be- ginning Saturday, August 22. THEATRICAL NOTES. A special train left New York on Tuesday morning bearing De Wolf Hopper and the Gilbert and Sullivan Opera company and the organization which is to present “Too Many Cooks"” in the Pacific coast cities. Mr. Hop- per and his associates begin their tour next Monday in Denver, where the train will be split into two sections, one remaining to carry the Hopper forces upon their further journeyings and the other bearing the “Too Many. Cooks” players on to San Francisco for their season’s opening. Robert Mantell’s tour this year will begin in Atlantic City at the opening of October. His rehearsals have been called to take place at his country home at Atlantic Highlands and will have the novel feature of being con- ducted out of doors when the weather is fair. The Mantell place has a fine lawn adapted to this purpose. It will require 8,000 yards of canvas to carry the twenty-one scenes of “Life,” the big melodrama of Amesican locale, upon the production of which Wil- liam A. Brady is hard at work. The play is to be brought out during Octos ber. MISS STANLEY IN TYROL. Miss Carrie L. Stanley, sister of E. N. Stanley, is travelling in the Tyrol, in Austria, and no word has been re- ceived from her. It is believed that she is safe but that she may lack money.

Peplums are just as much used upon morning jackets as they are upon blouses. This one is one of the newest and prettiest to have appeared. The sleeves that are cut in kimono style can be finished at the elbow or at the wrists with deep cuffs, and the neck can be edged with banding or finished with a collar. Nothing could be simpler or easier to make, yet the effect is‘attractive in the extreme. All sorts of seasonable materials are priate, but this jacket is made from flowered batiste with bands of plain white piped with color to match the flower design. The peplum is circular with inverted plaits at the back that are pretty and effective. ‘The tucks over the shoulders mean good lines and becoming fullness at the front. ‘The collar can be made round or square at the back. For the medium size will be required s 3 yards 36, 2}4 ards 44 inches wide with yard 27 for he banding, 84 yard for the piping.

This one includes the peasant sleeves that are so much liked and is finished with a ty round collar and cuffs. In the illustration, it is made of striped linen with collar and cuffs of plain, but the model will be found an excellent one for all the simpler seasonable ma- terials with collar and cuff of any con- trasting one that makes a good effect. Plain colored linen or chambray with collar and cuffs of white would make both a fashionable and a pretty frock. Figured material could be used through- out, with collar and cuffs braided or omi “The dress consists of the blouse and the skirt.
