It has been a very happy season for the members of the com- pany and & most notable theatrical seagon for New Britain. The play- goers have been treated to thirty-five weeks of the finest of American the- mtrical production. The productions have been of the class that have com. manded prices as high as $2 on their initial tours, yet they have been seen hers at popular permanent stock prices. Almost every one of this seascn’s attraétions were produced for the first time in the city. Not only have they been new to New Britain gudiences, but they have been very attractively staged.’ The dressing of the attractions has been most pleas- ing. All in all the management has given ‘the playgoers the most enjoy- able of entertainments and %in the best manner possible.

Bride Still Wears a Wedding Veil Because She Eschews Convention Uses Tulle Instead, of Lace, the Veil Is Short and Some- times Uncovers Her Face —Orange Blossoms and Jasmine Worn. convention is potent ths wears a wedding vell. Be- eschews conventign, she varies the mode of this time-héonored article of hymeneal attire and uses tulle instead of lace, a short veil in place of a long one, and entirely un- covers her face if she choeges. She will wear anything from the plain square of filmy material which is thrown over her head and descends all around almost to Her ankles to a very elaborate headdress, which, short in front and adorned with pearly, sug- gests nothing so much as the Oriéntal lady's covering. Occasionally, ofis finds the old typo of veil, which charmingly fornis of it- self a simple round cap about the head and then falls over the face. In back this vefl is very long; at least, it is as long as is consistent with the present téshion of shorter gown with whiech it is worn. About the cap is the wreath of orange blossoms or of jasimine. One is quite as likely to find, however the rdund, old-fashioned eap, flower en- wréathed, but with nothing over the face, for the veil stops short when it has reached as far forward as fhe cheéek. This cap may stop abruptly st the flower line, or it may have the softest of.ruffles falling to the fore- head and merging suddenly with the long rear section, that lengthens out into a train. Or, if the round headress is mot becoming, as is very likely to happen if the features are not small, one may have the cap portion laid rather smoothly ever the hair and banded Because bride still cayse she SINGING NOVELTY - ON KEENEY'S BILL A littleé sihging novelty presented by Whitley and Bell is one of the most popular numbers on Keeney's pro- sram this week. There is not a great deal to it, but its original grrange- ments and the style of the two per- formers makes it highly entertaining. The Keeney audiences during the week have shown their appréciation of the turn and the pair has to respond with encorés every evening. They hive some bright littlé songs and an or- iginal manner of singing them. Miss Bell has a curfous dauble voice and it 'is heard to advantage:.in *Tokio,” one 'of the most popular songs she Her partner is a good eom. edlan and he makes a decided hit with the humdrous songs he renders. The comedy features of ‘The New Steripgrapher,’” the sketch presented by Manuel Alexander and company &re probably more promiment that any- thing that has been seen lere this seagon. Mr. Alézander is a German comedian of exceptional ability. He delinestes 'a charatter such as Leuis Mann frequently assumés and he gets a lat out of the part. He s assisted by capable people. The sketch is highly amuging and it i8 well liked by the audience. Mile. Tuttles parrots give a dis- play of fheir talént. They are well educated and they actually carry on a conversdtion with their owner. Their burlesque concert is ene of the most enjoyable fedtures of the .show. The Fashien Shop continues to be a big attraction and it is responsible for large audiences. ' It is a review of the Spring style creations in which the latest gawns and hats are exhi- bited. ‘Sixteen pretty young ladies act as madels for the exhibit, The Kings have a musicdl act that goes big and Virginia Cariten, the Cydifornia’ Nightingale, - sings and i dances pleasingly. ALICE JOYCE WILL BE AT FOX'S SUNDAY Alice Joyce, the popular New Brit, ain favorité of the Kalem studio will be geen tomorrow night in Sheriden’s famous comedy, ‘The School for Seandal,” a photo-play in four acts that shows Miss Joyce at her .very beést, The story is replete with com- edy situations which Miss Joyece handles with dignity amd réfinement, and pathos is so intermingled as to make “‘School for Scandal” an excel- lent screen play. Miss Joyce is sup- portéd by an excellent cast of faver- ites including Guy Coombs, James B. Ross, Jere Austin and other Kalem stars, and Fox patrens will find one of the best photo-plays offered for their amussment temerrow might. Four gingle reel comedies and dramas Wwill augument the interesting program adding diversity to the varied offer- ing. 3 “Hypocrites” is proving a most de- lightful feature, and is more than coming up to the expectations of the legion 6f Fox patrons who “witnessed any of the performances yesterday. The cast is spléndid, including Court- néy Foote, as the Monk, Myrtle Stéd- man as the woman, while dainty Mar- garet Eldwards impersonatés Truth. “Hypocrites” is a most remarkable production, and while theme-is quite ’l‘iekct Exchang ¢ THOLIC_ GHORAL UNON—-8ih ANNUAL CONGERT Mozart's 12th Mass——Also Program of Songs and Chorusés Ghorus 100 Voices--Orchestra 14 Piecas—And a Quartet of New York Artists Sunday Night, May 9th, Russwin Lyceum e at Crowell’s over the forehead with a chaplet of pearls, with the flowers in the back of the héad for softness, Theén, below the cirele, in the rear, the veil falls into its entire exquisite léngth, and wher- ever its edges touchthe ground thore 18 & Iittle knot of Jowers to show that the traning is not careless. One occasionally sees a veil which has no cap at ail. In this cade the tulle or the lace may start lew at the back of the head, fastened merely with a spray of blossoms, or it may be hung abeout on a single or a double slender wreéath of flowers. A particylarly beautiful veil of this description, in- stead of forming a train at the hattom stopped evenly all about, at a level with the unusually short dreés, the ap- plique lace of the veil thus forming a sort of charming overdress. This tendency of making the vell seem to be an integral part of the re- inainder of the costume is a particu- larly happy oné and is responsible for many artistic effects. Thus, if the dress has a flounce of dychess lace it is found that the tulle veil is edgead all about with the lace. Or if the gown i émbroidered in sequin in flowered | patterns, motif repeated in the veil makes a delightful picture, as in the cése of a satin gown whi¢h had a shoulder train and a long, loose over- dress of tulle, embroidered in beads. The veil, thrown loosely over the head and flower trimmed front and sides, was of applique lace, and fell only as far as the shoulders.. But here the train seemed a centinuation of the veil and gave the neccesary courtliness 1o the picture. Fashion Hints by May Manton ‘OPERATIC STAR SINGS FOLK SONGS IN THE TRENCHES Mile.

To my mind he had more Teason to be ashamed of his money-ridden yiewpoint. He evidently énjoyed his records, not as music but ag money, 1t some one should offer a record that was not at all beautiful as music, but fer some reason cost ten or twenty dollars, I feel sure he would buy it and be- very proud of it. You see I'm astride my old hobby horse—the folly of confusing cost and value, Cost Versus Value, What factors determine the cost of an object? tion and the rarity of it, But what factors determine its value to you? its sentiméntal associations? To be able to judge objeets by their valué to you instead of by their cost—that is, to have taken a long step toward the best kind of culturé. We weré. looking over a collection of old coins the other day, There Was 6ne which its owner said was worth fifty dollars—a commonplace lpok- ing little dreb coin. ““Why is it so valuable?” some one asked. “Because it's so rare,” answered its ewner with an evident scorn for the absurdity of. the question, To my mind he was much mere absurd in his delight in possessing the €bin. The only vilue in that coin lay in the fact that there weren’t enough for everyone to have one. There was no beauty to the thing, no use and RO sentiméntal asseciation. No 6né of the people who owned one of them, no one of the possible purehasers who were willing to give fifty dollars for the thing., would get any good out of it except theé joy of knowing that the thing was rare, and comparatively few people in the world eould have one.

Because if diamonds became common, people weuldn't buy them. Would the diamonds be any less beautiful? No, but people don’t value them for their beauty, but for their rarity. 1t orchids were common and roses rare, who would. prefer orchids? Neot one in every thousand who new rave about them.

Children frem four to forty, and even older, enjoy an element of mystery about things and a syrprise is a most delightful way of entertaining MHttle people. ' A tiny doll dressed in fluffy robes’ may be hidden in a resy apple { as a favor or as a gift.

Cut off a alice | of the banana to make the surface | level and give the dolis room to 1i& in ® nice row in their dainty bed. A ‘stick of good candy wrapped in oiled ‘paper or fringed paper candy stick may be slipped into an empty banana skin. A pretty ball may be concealed in an orange that has been carefully hol- lowed out and the quarters or halves put back closely. Anorange may hold aimost anything from choicé candy with candy hearts and mottoes to a cosy nest for another tiny doll. A jack-in-the-box is great fum to make, using fruit to hold the jack. . For boys, whistles and marbleés, tops and different toys can be used. ‘There is ne need that thé fruit itself be wasted, for it can be uséd in mak- ing frozen dishes, drinks or salade, which the children will enjoy eating.
