Miss Clark is one of the prettiest screen artists in the country and since she succumbed 'to the lue or the “movies” she has béen extremely popular with lovers of the silent drama. In ‘“Gretna Green,” she plays an'important part and it is largely through her clever \work that the picture has been so success- ful. The story is written along novel jlines and is most amusing, Miss Clark’s acting bringing out the com- edy features in pleasing style. The Keeney management has se- cured a number of other good films to support the headline ; attraction and tonight’s show will be up to the high standard that has been main- tained since the Big Fgur-~tontract was made. H The vaudeville entertainers, who have been playing atthe theater dur- | ing the week, will conclude their New Britain engagements tonight. Thére are three acts of merit on the pro- gram. ' One of the most popular num- bers is a farcical skit presented by Robbins and Lyons. The comedy in this act is new and original and it impresses the audience most favor- ably. ‘The Allen family entertain with selections on string instruments and .singing and dancing while Mar- ian and Willard offer a song and con- versation number that finds general favor.

Poli patrons will -wel- come the popular Teading man in the role and that he will give'a masterly presentation is assured. Miss Skirvin is well cast, as are the other members of the company, so that an admirable presentation may, be anticipated. Tomorrow evening there will be a benefit concert, at which two big fea- ture films and many single reel come- dies and dramas will be shown. Ed- mund Breese will appear in the ab- sorbing drama, “The Master Mind,” and Willilam Farnum will be seen in his masterpiece, “The Squaw Man.” There will be a Chaplin comedy and others on the same program, making fourteen reels in all, with a continu- ous performance. No admission is charged but a silver collection will be taken at the door, the proceeds to be used for local charitable work. “OVER THE WIRE” tration, gabardine in the blue known as “‘Belgian,” is finished with stitched edges. The color is a new one and so essentially youthful in effect that is especially adapted to the girls’ costume. The skirt is made in one piece, plaited and joined to a belt. It may be xemmed or d at, the lower edge with the coat finished to antch, for bound edges are smart and will be much used throughout the aututn, For the 12 year size will be needed 7% yds. of material 27 in. wide, 5§34 yds. 36, 5yds. 44 0r 3 . 54 in. wide.

S T P05 Mothers’ Day Indeed Beautiful One; But Why Not Have Fathers’ Night Let Overworked Head of Family Go to the Cabaret and Enjoy White Lights and Modern Dances Until Dawn Beckons Him Homeward. The custom of observing Mother's day is indeed a beautiful one. But why averlook father? I have made a careful examination into the subject, having interviewed & number of fathers in this town in . .regard to the matter, and, while they each appeared reticent at first, and displayed an undue amount of mod- esty regarding my suggestion, they at last saw it my way, writes L. H. A. in the Jacksonville Times-Union. Y regard why should poor old hard- working father not have a day? When I put the question right up to the first father 1 visited, he scratched his ; head thoughtfully for a moment .\vnh the fountain pen he was writing checks with, and said if it was all the same he would prefer to have a Fathers’ night. His suggestion, which the reader will readily see was a good one, was that one night in the year be set aside to be known as Father’s night, and on this night fa- ther should be permitted to celebrate it himself in his own way. For One Night's ¥Freedom. On this night he should be allowed free play of his imagination and fan- cies. No restrictions of any kind should be thrown around him. He should be permited one night off, with a pocketful of money, to do just as he liked and go where he listeth. The idea struck me quite forcibly as an excellent one, and one that would receive the hearty approval of ! every father in the land. Poor old wheel horses who are tied down to office or store would just jump up in the air, kick their heels together and whoop and holler in glee could théy have one night of unre- stricted liberty to be known as Fa- ther’s night. On this night paw.could take the touring car and turn it into a poul- try truck if he wanted to. Could Go To The Cabaret. He could go'to a cabaret and trot I till the rosy fingered dawn had beck- oned him homeward. | He could come in as pickled as a pig’s foot' and no one could say him nay. On this hight the mayor of the town would hand him over the keys to the gay burg and say, “Welcome to our city.” Every citizen I saw fell for the idea of ‘a Father’s night, one little night out of the three hundred and sixty- five that was all father’s ownest own. | Getting the wives' consent is now the next step. This may be consid- erable of a step, too, but I think I can accomplish it. Most wives love their husbands and could probably be induced to give them one night in which to forget their troubles. One woman I spoke to on the subject said she would be willing to trust her husband anywhere, just so she could stick around. Omne Night in Year to Be His. She said she thought poor, tired, overworked husbands ought to be given one night in the year in which to enjoy themselves, and to make their enjoyment more complete ought to take their wives along with them. She said she sometimes, in the goodness of her heart, gave her hus- band two bits and told him to go out and have a good time with the boys, just so he ot in by § o'clock. There wasn’t a particle of meanness in her make-up she declared. That’'s what I like to see—wives and husbands getting on nicely to- gether, and a perfect understanding like this established. Learn to Revere Father’s Night. A married pair ought to pull to- gether like a team of horses—maybe they could if there were only one tongue between them. Let us learn to revere this Father’s night just as much as we do Mother’s day. Poor dad gets mighty little pleas- ure out of life, I'm here to tell you. He slaves all day in the office to get | money for mother and the girls to give to the poor summer resort hotel proprietors, Who have large families to support and have a great strugsle trying to make both ends meat anc vegetable. Poor old dad—he has a hard time working the boy’s way through col- lege and letting the boy get credijt for it. Bills, Bills, Just Bills. He has to be very firm with the pretty stenographer at times. Some- times she positively refuses to put up her chewing gum and at others she declines pointblank to go out té lunch B S either in stripes or plaids in gay cceloring, Princess lines are here, modified, to be sure; but all the more becoming for that. | | There Is no pretuer way of | making children’s dresses than with { smocking. 1 The smock will provide an excel- lent and economical garment for | gchool wear, | Children’s frecks show the jackel | effect as strongly as do the dresses of | grown folks, i There is nothing betler for the The newest of silk stockings are girl’s play ouifit than bloomers and a | middy biouse, j wear a white .carnation or a daisy or i Boing over and sitting in the Y. M. lof Kelly pool. with paw—unless he promises to buy lobster a la Newburg. Poor father—in the ‘courtship days it was bills and coos—now in the married days it's just bills. A Father's day wouldn't be desir- able. He doesn’t want anybody tu a sunflower in their buttonhole for him. That's why he prefers to have his at night. He doesn’t want you to celebrate it for him either, thank you. He says he had rather do his own celebrating in his own little quiet way. Somie fathers prefer to celebrate by C. A. . Others prefer to have a game Others would sit on the front porch in sock feet smoking a cheroot to keep the mosquities away and thinking the long, quiet thoughts of youth. See If Figures Are Correct. . Just a few, a small few, would like to beat it for the white lights and pink tights. Would be very, very happy to hike to a cabaret and ! hear the latest songs and see the new- | est dances, and with bookkeeping in- stinct, look at the fascinating, dipping, trotting women to see if the figures are correct. * Yes, a small clientele would cele- braté Father's night by fliting hither and’ thithér from cabaret to cabaret {like little butterfly going from rose to rose ang sipping the honey from each. You never can tell might be, as mother says, Now, father the best | man - under the sun; but, Lord, you ought to &ee him when the stars come out, Yes; when ‘tis night time, love, that's when the 6ld man rubs him- self up with a sort of mysterious oil of joy and, with his hat set on one side of his head and his hands in his trousers pockets, goes hoppity, skippity, jumpity along like a boy turned out of school for vacation. His Hat in the Ring. Ha, ha! The old man is young again—rejuvenated—he has bathed in Ponce de Leon's fountain of youths and his hat is in the ring. He has been to the barber shop and a nice clean shave. There i# tonic on his hair.and powder and per- fume on his wrinkled old face. He has had his nails manicured, and ve gods, he has on a sport shirt. His old thin neck protruding above the low collar looks like that of a tur- key gobbler’s which hasn’t had any- thing to eat for a month. His old Adam’s apple bobs merrily up and down, however and the old boy twirl- eth his natty cane and steppeth as if on air. The night air is bad for the eold boy, but he doesn’t give a darn, for he is observing Father’s night, and he just hews to the line, let the chips fall where they may. Hé knows in his heart he will take rheumatism in his , poor old limbs before the gray dawn is ushered in, but he is a real sport and he will just grin and bear it. Getting Run For Their Money. His new tight nébby shoes are giving his corns a heluva run for their money, but he hobbles along and tries to stand it vet a little while, though to tell you the truth he would like to be at home in his comfortable bedroom slippers. He cannot turn back, friendly swinging doors beckon to him at every corner and he sees dozens of other dignified old dads doing just like he is doing, wearing just what he is wearing, suffering just What he is suffering. By and by all the fathers in town will meet at a certain auditorium and deliver speeches on this glorious occasion and give out for publication in the newspapers many glowing tributes to this great occasion, known as Father’s night. Some of the bril- liant orators will be so full of the cup that cheers and musses that they will be scarcely able to articulate, but the alert youns reporters will smooth out the wrinkles and join together the incoherent sentences that man hath parted asunder. Ah, Father’'s night will vet be the red-hottest spot on the calendar. Congress may yet be induced to take it up. Lo, it may reach to every city and hamlet in the world, filling every father's heart with gladness. The child is father to the man and thus will countless generations yet unborn be benefited.
