The scenery was beautiful, bLut then she has seen a great deal of beautiful scenery and her iuterest In it was only languid. The other woman was not bored for an instant, Nor was this because sbe had had less opportunity to ride than the first weman. On the contrary, the difference was one of character, not of vircumn- | stance. H The second woman enjoyed every inoment of that ride because ! saw o much that was interesting to her. Every mile of the road offered to her not only beautiful scenery which she could feast her bodily eye but interesting things on which feed her mind's eye. She is Interested in architecture and called our attention to houses which fllustrated various types such as Queen Anne, Colonlal, French root | etc., telling just when they were Probably bullt and showing us the chim- neys, the lines of the roofs and other points by fhich it is possible o tel) the period to which the house belongs. We wondered why all country houses | are not painted white, as we thought they should be, and she promptly explained that certain colored paints, notably red, are more economical, She is Interested in botany. A flash of color in a swamp, which we { should have quite missed, was hailed with delight by her as an early ap- pearance of the cardinul flower. We passed under an archway of exquisite elms and she added interest to admiration by telling us that elms whose trunks are gracefully festooned With foliuge, instead of standing bare and gaunt, are the female elms, and are notable one of the few cases In na< ture which the female is more bea utiful than the male. he understands something about birds and could tell us to which | songsters certain notes which we had often heard but never placed be- longed, and several times she pointed out to us pretty feathered folks | :n the bushes by the roadside Which we with our duller eyes should never ave seen. women high on the shoulders, very low at back and front, and frill outlined. Sllk brocade tissue in lemon shade is draped from the left shoulder of this bodice, two of its ends being caught together under the left arm with a rhinestone buckle. This leaves a pair of extra corners falling loosely below the waist at back and front, making points extending to the hips. Here is where ribbon—an acknowl- edged trimming of the season—makes its entrance upon the scene. A very effective entrance it is, too, for as an inch-wide strand in lemon velvet it borders the tissue brocade draping and affords precisely the amount of weight needed to hold the points in place, We all know chiffon. We all— aning the discerning among wom- ind—love it because of its reputa- n for wearing well despite its ap- ently fragile character. Its de- ful delicacy is what it has en- ed it to us. For that reason it htinues fashionable after a score of rs, during which many other sheer terials have enjoyed a more or less lef period of popularity. evertheless, chiffon seems new ong the latest models because this umn it is combined with brocades, t not to an overweighting extent, smuch as the brocades used are rely silk tissues. And nearly al- ys they are as deftly applied as in b case of a certain adorable even- gown In lemon chiffon veiling h-hued satin. Combined With Brocade. frhe skirt is draped in that indefinite ner which distinguishes so many she on o Only One Color Employed. Lemon is the only color used in this THE the best models. It has a charm- way of rippling about the figure ween knees and ankles, and it kes lovely flowing lines near the ps. Yet only the draper of it can how and precisely where it is ght up. It has the charm of the sterious—a feminine charm. Its bodice, strange to say, is not eveless. Almost to the elbow, where arrow pleated frill marks the term« ting point, chiffon, rather closely ling the arms, is drawn up a trifle the inner side of the sleeves into a es of shallow ripples. At the shoul- s the sleeves invisibly merge with bodice—also intangibly draped— ving a deeply pointed decolletage, KEENEY’'S WEEK OF AUGUST 24, BEAUTY ON THE TRAPEZE Sensational Novelty OTHER .BIG ACTS — 4 GRAHAM & HACKETT Two Masical Ladies STEFFANO BROS.

The model is good when tulle takes the place of chiffon, and any one of imagination can see its charm in all- black or in palest gray. Mentioning gray brings to mind a marvellous creation in theater gowns. Like many demi-toilets, it has a round skirt—ideal for a the dansant— which in this instance is in chiffon. Instead of being hem finished about the feet, it is gathered in a narrow band—scarcely more than a piping— of gray satin. Do not fancy that this treatment ‘“‘hobbles” the skirt. 1t does not. But it makes a fetching undulating effect which has the ad- ditional charm of novelty, Four-inch wide gray satin ribbon, slightly gath- ered to the skirt at intervals between hips and knees, produces a tier effect which is novel because at these sides these strands are dropped to form deep points, The same idea is continued in the gray satin waiscoat, which, very short at the sides where it overlaps the chif- fon bodice, runs under a narrow girdle of satin ribbon and, extended far over the hips, forms sharp points at either slde of its button fastenings. But for those buttons the waistcoat might be mistaken for a yoke extend- ed above the belt line as a substantial foundation for the filmiest of gray bodices, It has, however, full length bishop sleeves and a wired but rather nar- rowly flaring collar deeply V'd in front, The sleeves and color make this gray gown exactly the sort of halfway costume which every woman needs during the intermediate season. It wil serve excellently for a theater premiere or for an afternoon dance. A Blue and Pink Blending. Blue and pink are exquisitely blend- ed in a demi-toilet of rose colored chiffon, The rose satin slip is veiled with a tunic, which, closely pleated over the shoulders into the narrowest of straps, blouses against a satin gir- dle whose high pointed fronts are di- vided by a cluster of deep pink roses. From the waist the tunic, separating slightly above the knees, falls in full ripples because a trifle caught up far below the hips at the sides. Deeply bordering it is a design in turquoise beads, a shade repeated in a necklace falling against a peasant shirt in rose tulle which fills in the frill-defined decolletage of the tunic. Unlike the original this one in tulle has long and tight sleeves. While not concealing an atom of the arms, they veil them from shoulder to wrist, and hence this love- ly creation cannot be regarded as a dinner gown. It is useful for many occasions other than for formal din- ing. Scarfs Draped in Novel Fashion. Scarfs are draped to chiffon demi- | toilets in a particularly novel fasHion. The scarf must be in lace, else it will not show to the advantage that it does in a model of all-black. The bodice, starting under the arms and swung from the shoulders by the narrow vel- vet straps, is joined to the matching skirt, which, almost touching the floor at back, is drawn toward the front and there caught up td show the insteps.

SEVERAL NEW FILMS AT FOX'S THEATER “Leah Kleschna,” the great soclal play that created a stir in New York's choicest society, written by C. M. S. McMillan, the famous dramatist, made its initial appearance in motion pic- tures with Carlotta Nillspn, the dis- tinguished American actress, playing Leah at Fox's theater yesterday, and it was received with a hearty approval by the Fox patrons. The stirring story of a woman’s regeneration is gripping and Intensely interesting, and T.eah as interpreted by the gifted Car- lotta Nillson made a profound and un- forgettable impression that will not 80 very soon be forgotten. Its strong appeal touches a responsive and sym- pathetic chord in the heart of all, ana the situation of the woman burglar, reformed by the kindness of the man whose house she attempts to rob, is one of the greatest sermons ever dramatized. “Leah Kleschna,” as fllmed by the Famous Players com- pany, under the personal direction of Danlel Frohman, is a masterpiece and all should see this great production with a great moral. It will also be shown today, with a change of the single reels that augment the pro- gram, The single reels for today are *‘Josie’s Declaration of Independence,"” a Vitagraph comedy; “The Counter- feiters’ Plot,” a Kalem absorbing drama, and “Algie's Sister,” an ex- tremely funny comedy feature from the Selig studio. For tomorrow and Friday another Famous Players attraction will be shown in the dramatization of Sir Walter Scott's greatest story, ‘‘The Heart of Midlothian,” under the adapted name of “A Woman's Tri- umph.” “The Heart of Midlothian" is Sir Walter Scott's immortal mas- terpiece, faithfully visualized in mo- tion pictures, and is a story of a wom- an's sacrifice for truth and her ulti- mate trilumph and reward, that lays bare the suffering heart and noble soul of a courageous woman, and teaches the all-conquering power of honor and truth.

Sitting on a chair bal- anced on the bar is popularly sup- posed to have received its initlal per- formance by John Russell, a New Britaln man who at one time bid fair to be the most daring aerial performer in the country. The Keeney beauty makes a specialty of difficult stunts and performs them with ease. Riley and the O'Neil twins have an act that makes them a headliner no matter where they play or in what company. It is neat, has many wit- ticlsms and with the grace and a nicety of the hest they dance their way into popularity at every perform- ance. The musical ladies, Graham and White, play the plano and violin with strict adherence to technique and they sing with the same exacti- tude. They are musiclans of a high order and the Keeney audiences like them very much. The Japanese troupe of acrobats, barrel jugglers and balancers have had no superior fin New Britain and theatergoers know that the best in the world have been here. It is not only the difficult acts performed but the ease Wwith which they are done that adds to the applause glven them.
