For in the making of that frock it will not oe smart. Above all, such a frock must leok simple and not more pretentious than a model of Paquin's, in white, with a blue dotted veil-pattern design. The skirt, in side-pleated printed chiffon, has a white front. but both sections have white hems, headed with dark blue. The pleated plain chiffon frent falls from under blue and white outlined narfow . oval tablier which at the walst line, 1s overlapped iy a band, of cerulean biue molre rib- hon starting as a flat, encircling collar for the neck and crossing on-the chest. The ribbon drops to the hips on cither side of the skirt, only to be caugt up to the waist line at the back. This use of cerulean with dark biue and whife'is genuinely French. Generously bloused 1s' the printed chiffon bodice, whose front-squared neck is outlined in harmopny with the tablier, and whose long shoulders fall iike loose,, flaring caps wupon’ white chiffon elbow siceves. Circular cuffs in blue chiffon on these sleeves are a novel detail making for simplicity of effect. They are applied to the edges, and must fit those edges accurately.

POLLY OF THE CIRCUS IS A SIMPLE PLAY around the ‘{Brid, “Hotel Uevi It hag often been said that the won- | derful appeal made by “Polly of the| Cireus.” Frederic Thompson's produc- tion which will be seen at Poli's Hart- ford theater all next week, is based upon simplicity and unspoiled un- sophistication. Tts story is simr!lk‘-i ity itself while the characters it | serves to introduce are of thc every day, human’sort of whom cvery one| knows and therefore s,\'mnnthizes' with in theéir troubles and laugns with | in their merry moments. Of the story little need be said because it is known | to many theatergoers. Suffice it to eay that Polly s a circus rider who | has been injured while the circus is performing in A smail town. She is taken to a minister's home where his relatives bring her back to normal 7Nealth and strength. A natural love springs up hetween Polly and the min- ister, but when gosdpmg neighbors tell the girl of the position she places the minister in by remaining at his household she leaves and returns to the circus. A few weeks later the circus again plays in the village and this time the minister claims Polly, never again to let her go. Manager Thatcher has conceived some original jdeas not included even in the .original production which will quite likely meet with as great ap- proval as have many of the previous ones since he assumed the manage- and made it immensely popular.

Almost wholly veiling a black chiffon under- dress is an overskirt in green chiffon, vrinted with red figures. This exuber- ance, however, is restrained by a black Taille girdle, dropped low about the hips and carelessly knotted at left of tack. Gold embroideries embellish a black chiffon bolero, whose fronts join under two rows of gold knobs. But the severity of this coat is veilea by two overlapping printed’ chiffon ruffies. T'he upper ruffle forms a short collar across the high necked back and upon the V of the bolero’s front, while the lenger one exlongs to the waist line, where jts'ends join: at | From this viewpoint the 1ower ruffle which is crossing the shoulders, veils the tops of the narrow, long, self- fabric sleeves, forming a very deep cupe effect below the waist line in Lack.
