Their act has gone big everywhere and judging from the press material sent in ad- vance by the booking agents, New Britain theatergoers have a big treat in store for them during the current week. There are some good singers and dancers in the company as well as comedians of high class. The songs are specially selected to suit the re- spective talents of the singers and the musical features of the act are said to be far above the ordinary. The management announced today that this week’s show is the most ex- pensive set of acts that have been billed here for any single week during the season. Three of the specialties usually get headline positions while the other two are of a calibre that en- titles them to prominent places on the programs in the best vaudeville theaters in the country. Grace and Chinese Walker, two of the best colored comedians on the stage today, will be seen in the one act in which they have added much to their fame during the past few months. The turn has been acclaimed everywhere to be the bhest vehicle they have used. Much is expected of this team. De Milo, a Parisian whirlwind, who has been crgating a big sensation since arriving in this country, is expected to be conspicuous among the talent. There are some surprises in this act that should make a most favorable impression. Fred Zenitis, a novelty gymnast of marked ability, will also be found in the list of performers. There are some interesting war pic- tures in the Hearst-Selig weekly, the Keeneyscope headliner for tonight. The balance of the motion picaure program is also up to the standard.

The first hot cross bun was closely connected with a religious cremonial. The little hard, square cakes with the | cross imprinted on them given out as | alms on Good Friday two or more centuries ago in England were in all | likelihood another ancestor of our modern hot cross bun. But the cele- brated bun reached its zenith more than a century ago at Chelsea, Eng- lanad. “One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns!” cried that interesting individ- ual, the bellman, as he nawked his | basket of hot buns among the throng of visitors from the neighboring towns. | The royval bun house, at which the king is reported to have stopped, pre- rared three weeks in advance for the “bunning,” and as early as 4 o'cloc on Good Friday morning the wagons and carriages were depositing the merrymakers at the various stalls and booths erected for the occasion. The original royal bun houses, of | milk, | set [ little cracks. which there were two, each proprie- tor loudly protesting that the king bhad visited his particular property, were long low buildings, containing Chinese parlors, coffee rooms and very good accommodation for the gen- iry. These let down their large square windows and offered for sale pan after pan of hot cross buns. - In an adjoin- ing field the crowds beguiled them- selves at a catchpenny fair, and the gaming tables swallowed up many a yearly income. The Last Bun Festival. The inns weer condemned in 1839, and at about this time the last bun festivals were held, and it is reported that 24,000 buns were sold in one day. ilowever, the original recipe is still preserved at Chelsea. We are told that it requires a great deal of butter, some spices, sugar and lemon flavor- ing. The following modern recipes ure excellent, and if the instructions are carefully carried out successful hot cross buns may be turned out by any housewife. Hot Cross Buns No. 1. Sift two cupfuls of flour into a basin and add one tablespoonful of mixed spices. Mix two yeast cakes and one teaspoonful of sugar together until both are liquid. Heat three-quarters of of a pint milk until it is lukewarm, then mix it with yeast. Make a well in the middle of the flour, then gradually miX in the stirring it smoothly with a wooden spoon. Cover the basin and it in a warm place for half an hour, or till the top of the sponge is covered with bubbles. Sift five cupfuls of flour into a Jarge basin, rub half a cupful of but- ter into it lightly, then add half a cupful of sugar, half a cupful of chopped orange peel and a half cup- ful of cleaned Sultana raisins. When the sponge in the fruit basin is ready begin beating some of the in- gredients from the second basin into it. Continue this mixing and beating until all the dary ingredients are mixed ith the sponge; then add gradually two well beaten eggs. Cover the basin: put in a warm place until the surface is covered with Then take small pieces o the dough and.form into balls. Lay these well apart on greased tins, cut a cross into the top of each bun with a floured knife. Put the ting in a warm place for twenty minutes. Bake in a hot oven for half an hour. Hot Cross Buns No. 2, 8ift two pounds of flour into a large Lasin, rub six tablespoonfuls of but- tér into it with the tips of the fingers until perfectly smooth. Add six heap- ing tablespoonfuls of sugar, three- guarters of a pound of cleaned cur- rants, one teaspoonful ef allspice, a little grated nutmeg, half a teaspoon- ful of salt, three well beaten eggs and one yeast cake, dissolved in a little lukewarm milk. Blend all into a soft dough, kneading it’ until spongy. Set to rise in a warm place. When it is ready for the oven form the dough into small balls and place them on a warm baking pan about two inches apart. Mark a cross on each with the back of a knife. Tet them rise again in a warm place, and when well risen brush the buns over with milk and_melted butter. Bake in a hot oven. When ready remove from the oven and brush them over the top with the yolk of an egg diluted with a little milk in which a table- spoonful of sugar has been dissolved. Dust the cross on the bun plentifully with cinnamon and return to the oven for a few minutes, Daily Fashion Talks BY MAYi MANTON 8566 Two-Piece Skirt with Circular Flounces, 24 to 32 waist. The flounced skit is a favorite and it is | becoming to many figures, and the ripple eftect obtained by the circular flounces is | exceedingly graceful. The model is a most attractive one for cloth and for gabardine and for the heavier silks and in fact for all materials that can be made circular with success. There are six flounces and they are arranged over a plain _two-piece {oundmion, but if the skirt is to be worn with a basque or with a deep girdle, the sixth flounce can be omitted and five only used. Often the ‘'skirt is made of lining material, and the !suggestion is an especially good one, such 'heavy materials as cloth, gabardine and jthe like. In the picture, faille silk is used and is finished with piped edges. ! For the medium size will be needed for the skirt 3 vds. of material 27 in. wide, 24 yds. 36 or 44 and for the flounces {6 yds. 27, 434 yds. 36, or 2 yds. 44 or 54 in. wide. , The pattern No. 8566 is cut in sizes from 24 to 32 waist measure.

This is a waist that may fairly be taken as typical of what will be worn throughout { the coming season, for while fancy blouses will have their place, there is a marked tendency toward the simple waist for simple_occasions and this model is an exceptionally good one. Appropriately it can be made of crépe de chine or other simple silk as well as from linen and the cotton stuffs. The back is extended to give' a yoke effect in front and the fronts themselves are just full enoigh to be becoming. The sleeves and collar are novel and they are interesting.. In the illustration, one of the new cotton crépes is the material and the color is the sand that has taken such a hold upon popular fancy. Taffeta is used for waists of this kind as well as crépe de chine, and among the washable fabrics there is a wide and attractive variety.

In ‘“Maggie Pepper,” the Charles Klein drama in which the Hartford Poli Players will appear all this week, with. matinees and evening perform- ancés daily, the story is truthfully and forcefully told by the noted drama- tist. The play tells the story of a yvoung saleswoman in a department store. She has seen girls less, con- scientious, but prettier, advanced in business, while she has remained at a standstill. At the apening of the play the store has just passed into the hands of the son of the former proprietor. The employes expect things to run along just as before, as the young man is not expected to take an active interest. While the girls in Maggie's department are dis- cussing the matter a young man who seems to have no business in partic- ular drops in the Maggie thinks he needs ta learn a few things.
