Two weeks and three days later, his mother met him with a frown. “You've left your rubbers in the kitchen again,” she sald, “I am very much disappointed in you, son. You know vyou promised to do better.” “But I did do better,” retorted Blily. “Just think how long I haven't left them there, and you never said anything about that.’ “You never said anything about that”—the sentence struck a chord of self questioning in his mother's heart, “I Walted Till You Didn't.” character roles and a large chorus the attraction of next week the feature of the son.

In this play Edward Shel- don, America’s most significant young dramatist, handles unflinchingly and with unerring power, a moNarn prob- lem that must be faced fairly and squarely by the people of the United States. The topic which forms the motive of this striking drama is one vhich legislators and serious thinkers have grappled with unsuccessfully gince the days of slavery. Mr. Shel- con ls the first playwright who has had the courage to tackle the subject dramatically. In this photo-drama ‘William Farnum, America’s most ‘popular young actor gives a sublime performance of the self-sacrificing hero, Philip Morrow. TUnder the mas- terful -directorship of the William Fox forces, the enthralling drama works out to the proportions of a mighty epic of modern American life dealing as it does with the gravest social, moral and political conditions. ‘“The Nigger” comes to New Britain direct from its record breaking run at the Hippodrome, New York, where over 35,000 paid admissions were re- corded during the week of the en- gagement. Today's program is a most interesting one, and “The Traffic in Sculs” and “Exploits of Elaine” will be shown tonight for the last time. Fox patrons should avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing “Traffic in Souls” as the chief points are that they constitute a ringing call and ap- peal to all to contribute toward a moral uplift of the erring sisterhood, so far as each individual can, and to awaken the country to the perils lying close to hand. PATHE WEEKLY AT KEENEY'S TONIGHT liner, the motion picture program at Keeney's tonight gives promise of be- ing one of the most interesting that has been given here in some time. Many important features of the war | in Xurope are depicted in the Pathe reel to be shown tonight and there will also be treated some subjects of special interest to the United States. Other first run films with exciting dramas and some amusing comedies | are on the Keeneyscope program. A diversified program of vaudeville is also given this week., There is such a variety of specialties that all tastes should be satisfied. Judging from the attendance and the ap- plause given at every performance ‘the entire show. suits the Keeney patrons and they are not unapprecia- | tive of its entertaining qualitie: Biily Johnson's troupe of cabaret singers and dancers shares headline honors with Del Adelphia, the famous magician, and his sleight-of-hand as- sociates, The number first men- tioned is a very entertaining act. Tae young people in the troupe posse unusual talent and their songs and dances make a most favorablie impres- sion. Adelphia s & remarkably clever mystery worker. He does a number of seemingly impossible things, introducing many feats that are entirely new to local theater- goers, His cabinet illusions are the most baffling of any ever exhibited here. Little Jack Marks, English comedian, is a performer of much skill. Jack is a midget. Ie gives an amusing monologue, enter- taining the audience in satisfactory style. The other two acts are furnished by tie Lawrence Sisters, singers and dancers, and the Loge troupe of acro- bats, The latter act is an acrobatic sensation and it is going big every day. the diminutive | there are only two seams.

It is finished with beading at the neck and waist edges and this beading is threaded with ribbon to regulate the size. In the rlcture, it is made of crépe de chine with ace edging, but it is just as well addpted to the fine cotton crépe that so many women like. to batiste and to all materials used for under-wear. If a very dainty effect is wanted, the sieck and armhole edges could be scalloped, the front em- ' broidered with some little design and slits worked within the scalleps to take the place of beading, for hand work always makes the daintiest possible finish for under wear and a simple design does not represent any special labor. To make the corset cover will be re- quired 1 yd. of material 27, 36 or in. s with 3 yds. of beading, 224 yds. of edging to trim as illustrated. ¢ The. pattern 8615 is cut in one size only ince it is adjustable. In the case of the f-rger women it would mean slightly ess fullness, in the case of the smaller women, slightly more fullness. AGED CITIZEN DISAPPEARS, Waterford, April 8.—Robert Mc- | Auley, an aged and respected citizen, | has mysteriously disappeared from | the home of a cousin, Mrs. Wilson M. Carroll, on the Niantic . road, with whom he resided. He has been missing since early Monday morning when he left to go to a house he oc- cupied until recently and nothing has been Heard or seen of him since. It is feared that despondency over the death of a sister recently caused the aged man to commit suicide by drowning in Jordon Cove, Efforts to secure the body have been futile however. hes. | s > | Here is one of the prettiest corset covers that can be devised, and inciden- | It is cut all in one piece and | 8609 Fancy Blouse, 34 to 42 bust.

In the pic- re, fine batiste is used for the blouse and the embroidery is joined by means of aem-stitching. The finish can of course be varied to suit each need. For the blouse, i1ll sorts of pretty materials are appro- priate; crépe de chine, batiste, voile and Jotton crépe suggest themselves at once ind crépe de chine or other silk materials tan be used in combination with lace. If embroidery is not liked, the blouse can se made of material throtighout and the edges finished with banding or scallops or sreated in any way that may be liked.

And uitra-Parisian are the dance frocks garnished with roses to be worn Guring the “little season,” as the term of gayety directly following Easter is now commonly called. It is a brief sea- san, into which so many dances are crowded that the girl between eighteen and twenty-five—a period of life when not a moment should be wasted— 1:eeds several new dance frocks, All of them should escape the floor, and if a girl is not of exceeding low stature their hems may be eight or ten inches from the carpet. The short skirt is a distinguishing sttribute of a creation in silk which is | Eelped by hidden cordings to stand stiffly away from the ankles as though it were hoop distended. But for this extreme width-—certainly five. and fre- quently vards—the silk dance irock’s skirt could not convincingly carry its favorite garnishings of strands, clusters or wreatns of flowers. Roses are most popular for this pur- rose, but so numerous are the vari- -ties that one never wearles of seeing means Courtiers Produce Roses Weird Coloring. ] Moreover, the most progressive of greenhouse gardeners would not dream of attempting to grow ramblers. Jacks and Testouts of the shades perpetrat- el by couturier rose culturists. The Parisian dress artist, having planned a dance frock in peach blossom taffeta, trims it with small wreaths of ram- blers in a tone not copied from nat- ture, but exactly suited for catching up at intervals, a deep flounce in filmi- est white lace. The skirt of a new dance frock in pink taffeta is garnish- ed with twelve of these queerly col- ored rambler wreaths, while the thir- i teenth wreath of the collection find place at the front centre of the bodice’s waist line. ‘Rather in this portion of the frock a ro-called bodice, for it s actually a tall girdle in silk, partly veiled and by and partly overlapping the arrange- nient in filmiest lace and tulle which veils the shoulder. Despite its lack of even apologies for sleeves and its very gauzy top, this bodice is not very de- collete. - In fact, it looks as modest as or Frocks and Should a Moment. the days when she was making the most of her youth. Tiose Clusters Save I'rom Mediocrity. Roses and clusters have often been used for a dance frock garnishing, Jut never to weight draperies and the hems of skirts. The clusters are so irregularly placed that tie word terval cannot be used in connection with them. But in every instance they emphasize a graceful linc and in many cases they save a frock from medioer- ity. There is nothing novel about a model in palest mauve charmeuse, ex- ceptng the clusters of roses in pink «f precisely the right shade to com- lTine with mauve attached here nd there to the edges of its draperies. A rather large cluster at the left shoulder catches up the folds of a rink tulle tunic which is so short that when r -girdled at the - waist it furms itself into the gauziest of little veplums. Strands of roses are easiest cf all to apply artistically, providing that the blossoms are of small or medium size. On some of the simpler frocks in white chiffon or net are trails of roses, tiny as baby ramblers, but replicas in satin or taffeta of im- portant garden varieties. One charming creation in deep rose faille and chiffon has an under-dress in gauze whose side pleats are flat- tened below the knees with a line of ciosely set roses. A similar scheme of placing abtains on the shoulders, v here the flowers head epaulet sleeve- caps in gold lace. But on the front of the bodice, a tall faille girdle huilt up V.ith lace, the roses travel in detach- ments of one to the waist line and thence half way down the skirt. On ench deep, wide scallops of the long, flaring open silk overdress a single 10se repeats the idea. Some new crepe weaves or ging- ham keep the crepy look after wash- ing.

They are easy and He had tried. There was no doubt of that. And he had done better. Yet true enough, she had never said a word until he had slipped. Was that the way to help a boy who was struggling against a tendency that seemed to be born in him, she asked herself Being one of those rare people who are honest with themselves, she answered, “No.” And being that ever rarer personage ,a mother who is willing to acknowledge to her children that she is not omniscient, she sald to Billy, “You're right, Billy. I guess 1 didn't say anything about what you did. 1 waited until you didn’t. I'll do better next time.” Whereupon, Billy, who, like most boys, could appreciate a deal, threw his arms about his mother's neck and answered in a that plerced her cars but sounded good to aer heart, “'So will 1" Could Your Child Accuse You? square voice pleasant to take and excellent re- sults are accomplished by their nse Used by mothers for 26 years.

They say the children should obey because that is their duty and not for rewards, They expect more of the little folks than most big folks can attain—that is to do duty entirely for duty’s sake and not because they hope for happiness thereby. The Firm That Praised and the Firm That Didn't. The big world if full of rewards as well as punishments. Why should their little world be different? I read the other day of two salesmen who brought in a week of record business to their respective firms. One firm telegraphed congratulations: the other made no acknowledgement. The first man stayed with his firm until he went into business for himself; the second left at the first op- portunity. Moreover the first firm grew and thrived; the second went down hill. Enough said, great many mothers who could think over justly accuse you—"You never Questions and Answers, Do you believe In taking children to the theater?—G, F. C. Answer: That’s something like asking, “Do you think mushrooms are good eating It depends on what mushrooms you pick out. I think there are many plays which are excellent entertainment and education for children, But there are a good many mushrooms I wouldn't want to eat and a good many plays that woould be bad mushrooms to a child's intellectual digestion.

Next week the Players will be seen in a present da sensation: “The Divorce Question.” That this play, written by Willlam Anthony Me- (iuire, strikes a most popular chord among theatergoers, cannot be denied.
