One generation struggling along, getting its education here and there with no chance for regular schooling, and as a consequence, ap- preciating what such an opportunity means; the next, given the opportuni- ty freely, taking it for granted and not making the most—nor the half— of it. Some of the Things People Who Were Handicapped Did. When one sees what people who are handicapped accomplish in the line of educating themselves, one almost wonders if it is not possible to make the path to education too easy. When Phoebe Cary tried to find time at night to do a little reading and writing, her stepmother was not willing she should kave a candle to work by (the family was very poor). But that could not daunt a girl who really wanted an education. She used a saucer of lard with a bit of rag for wiclk. Somewhat similar to this is, the case of Charlotte Bronte. She writes | i Tabby | & NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1016. e i her diary, “We were around the warm blazing fire, hav. ing just concluded a quarrel with concerning the propriety of lighting a candle, from which she came off victorious, no candle having been produced Please remember that the candle light would have been used for read- all sitting | ing of the most improved kind, that be tre- child any parent of today would mendously proud to have his willing to do. He Taught Himself French and German. Watt, the inventor, was much han- dicapped by a scanty education, be- cause there were many important books on science in French and Ger- mar which had never been translated into English. He could ndt afford a tutor, but refusing to be balked, he taught himself French and German that he could read them in the original. ‘When one reads of such accom- plishments in the face of such odds doesn’t it make one ashamed to think of how little one has accom- plished with every advantage? ‘“The day departed silent, T, too late, under her solemn filet, saw the scorn.” Only, thanks be, it's never too late to edu- cate one’s self. A woman went to college at eighty-three last year. And in these days of free libraries and courses of all sorts, one does not need to go to college for an education. | [ 1 1 t ‘Why Did Mrs. Cosgrove Urge Madge to “Keep Up That Joke for a Few Days?” My first glimpse of Cosgrove's farm- house was a rTeassuring one. Broad and low and homelike, with immense stone chimneys, wide veranda and unexpected wings, it nestled among the trees on the bank of the rushing mountain stream we had just passed. A wide, curving, gravelled pathway which led from the road to the door was bordered by the last flawers of autumn—cosmos, crysanthemums and geraniums, while two or three large bushes of gorgeous hydrangeas gave an unusual background to the place. I made a swift mental deduction from the appearance of the flowers that some one who possessed both an unusual eye for artistic effect, and an intense love for flowers, was an inmate of the farmhouse. But the only figures to be seen on the porch as we came up the steps were those of a motherly-laoking woman with one of the kindest, tiredest faces I had ever seen, and a jovial giant of a man, whose blue eves were exactly like those of the boy carrying our luggage, and who rose to greet us. “Mr., Graham, I suppose,” the giant: said, cordially, putting out his hand. “The same,” Dicky returned lightly. “We're pretty tired and dusty we go directly to our rooms? spoke hurriedly, and I knew that he did so in order to avoid having to in- troduce me formally to Mr. Cosgrove, who, with a hearty ‘and my name’s Cosgrove” had first clasped Dick: hand and then mine. I saw that Dicky still wished ta; carry out the jest which the slender I t 1 i t t 1 lenu for Tomorrow | Breakfast Baked Apples Poached Eggs Whole Wheat Gems Coffee Dinner Clear Soup Fillet of Beef Delmonico Potatoes String Beans Egg Salad Queen Mab Pudding Coffee Supper Nut Sandwiches Preserved Peaches Marble Cake Chocolate fPhole Wheat Gems—Sift together and one-half cupfuls whole wheat bz, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, tablespoonful sugar and one- f teaspoonful salt.

But there was a touch of some- thing that seemed almost like a malice in the smile. “I don't think there will be any harm at all to keep up that joke for a few days, if*you don’t mind,” she said. “Mrs, Allis's face will be worth seeing when she finds out the truth.” She turned to walk away. As she reached the head of the stairs she looked back “Supper is ready any time you are,” she said The same little ambiguous smile was still lingering around her lips. As T turned back into the room to summon Dicky I carried with me the impression that Mrs. Cesgrove disliked Mrs. Allis, and that very probably she had some good reason for doing so, osgrove,” Many frocks have two beits, mak- ing the waist line both high and low. SUCGESS IS RECORD OF LYCEUM COMPANY All the Principals Have Made Records in Other Cities If the Lyceum Musical Stock com- pany this season is not a success it will not be because pains have not | been taken to select the very best (in the east for the principals and | chorus. Nothing has been left un- | done. The company is perfect in so far as perfection is possible. Tver: {one connected with the company is j enthusiastic—and enthusiasm counts about 99 9-10 per cent. when it comes to pleasing the people. The members of the company are not only enthus- iastic but they are efficient, and con- fidence breeds success in any line of business. To begin at the beginning, Miss Georgia Campbell, the prima donna, has established her reputation | with some of the best com- panies @ver whipped togpther She is a winsome Miss who will do |her part in a vivacious or serious mood. New Britain demands per- sonality and she has 1t in abandance. | You see Miss Campbell and you like her. Then, vou will want to see her again. She is & young woman all would welceme into their homes As for her voice. she has appeared in such companies as “Tne Spring Maid,” the Aborn English Grand Opera com- pany and others who represent the best there is in America. The fact that she has appeared in the Aborn company is enough to admit her to the best r.usical circles. Syracuse, New York, is one of the most critical cities in the country and yet Miss Campbell played and sang there for two seasons. After the first season, the management received hundreds of requests that she be engaged for the year following. Miss Campbell has been on the stage since she was twelve years of age. Her inheritance comes naturally. Born of a musical family, she has two sisters now entertaining American audiences from behind the footlights and her father has been in the theatri- cal business for years. A company without a first class in- genue is comparable with a motion picture screen with the machine out of order. So Director Perrin has engaged Miss Leone Courtney, a dash- ing, sparkling, young woman with a successful stage carecr behind her. Miss Courtney is a native New Eng- lander and understands that her Con- necticut audience demands entertain- ment. That is her specialty. As a singer or dancer, Miss Courtney i perfectly at home. She has appeared with Richard Carle and has been fea- tured in many vaudeville acts in sing- ing and dancing, as well as musical stock. Among her vaudeville suc- cesses, Miss Courtney numbers her acts with the Poli circuit and has peared in many Connecticut ci Miss Courtney is rather retiring s the aforementioned information ecured in confidence from one of her friends. George Bogues is certain to please in the role of first tenor. For five ars he was leading tenor with Richard Carle and he has also made hits in “Alma,” “Madam Sherry” and hungry as I am you’ll make a mighty other stage successes. Plaudits of the quick toilet.” audience have less effect on Mr. Bogues than the prosperity of his farm on Long Island. Mr. Bogues has the most wonderful hedge fence around his property and every day receives a telegraphic bulletin on its rise in life. In William T. Meehan, baritone, the company has secured a genuine sing- er. Mr. Meehan was with Henry W. Savage and Al H. Woods and he won rame with stock in Boston. Port- land, Maine, was also the scene of | former successes and as late leading | man for Isabelle Eversson, of the famous Boston Museum Stock com- | pany, he scored a great triumph. For | the past summer he has been . ap- pearing in musical stock in Bar Har- | bor, Maine. Everyone knows gomery and Stone. formerly with this noted concern of entertainers, will appear with the Lyceum company as first comedy man. He has also been with Richard Carle, Sanderson and Cawthorne and Gaby Deslys in New York and Boston. Ray- mond Hitchcock may not have a twin brother but Mr. Wills is hereby form- ally nominated. Ralph Sipperly has been with the “Sochial Whirl,” Adele Ritchie, the Frohmans and the “Acadians” at the Princess theater in New York. He closed two weeks ago in vaudeville. Mr. Sipperly has traveled extensively in South America and has won the hearts of the audlences in that great neighbor of the United States. Franklyn Smith will appear as the character comedian of the company. Mr. Smith has been spending the past summer with a musical company at Allentown, Pa. He has also been with a musical stock company at St. John’s, New Brunswick, and has scored numerous successes in vaude- ville. Vincent DiVito, who charge of the scenery, is from the Lee Lash studios in New York. For three years he has been with Malley & Denison at Fall River, Mass. He is a futurist by nature and tempera- ment and is considered one of the finest scenic artists in the business. Director Perrin intends to give nothing but the best and he an- of Mont- Walter Wills, will have ws for Theater Goers and Wo i | every way new properti has installed new lighting effects - and will present an augmented orchestra on Monday cvening when the com- pany produces that popular musical comedy “The Time, the Place and the Girl” DALY’S MINSTRELS MAKE A BIG HIT with Perrin in has purchased the last that filled capacity presented an entertainment which besides pleas- ing the audience, outshows any previ- ous appearances on the stage of this clever company of artls From the | vise of the curtain o the finale there were no dull moments, the excellent list of up-to-date numbers selected by {the leader of the troupe, affording many opportunities for plause, which wasg liberally distribut- led. The affair which was arranged | for the benefit of the church of St. John the Evangelist was also a finan- cial success, and is a tribute to the | efforts of the committee which has worked hard for several months ar- | rnging the many details in connec- tion with the affair. Every available space was filled, members of the clergy from other churches occupy- ing seats in the main auditorium, while prominent persons in other walks of life had the box seats. An | 18-piece orchestra furnished accom- | paniment. The boys were giverd a big hand when the curtain arose. After the usuval opening chorus selection the soloists were called upon for num- bers. Andrew Basso, Edward Shee- hey, John Kiniry, John Kilduff and John O'Brien were never better and their efforts called for cncores. The double quartet assisted Mr. Kilduff in his selection of “Dear Rose Marie" and made a big hit. The end men, Jack Callahan, Jack Riley, Jimmy Moore and Jimmy Degnan kept the crowd in good humor by their funny stories and song hits. Callahan and oore along terpsichorean after scoring a hit Before an audience theater its Daly’s Lyceum to evening, Minstrels lines. Degnan with his song re- an encore, so the chorus had to do it. In the olio, Mr. Maranville lived up to expectations by his singing a monologue. and was one of the bright features of the night. The Lynch Brothers who are always good, pleased the crowd by their xylophone selections. The Tommasoni family rendered mandolin and guitar selec- tions in their inimitable manner. Johnson and Holden danced their way popularity, the work of the boys being the equal of many of the per- formers on the stage. The double quartet sang severa! songs of a unique which were pleasing as well as tuneful. William J. Farley as interlocutor s capable as in the past and h ay of getting the mirth out of the jokes of the end, men added considerably to the successof the per- formance. The chorus which assisted the soloists was as follows: First tenors, James Daly, O'Brien, George Talbot and Crean; second tenors, John John Connolly, Bernard Doughert Jdward McAvay, Robert Smith, Bd- mund Crowley and Thomas McCue; first bass William O'Day, Howard Mortin, Arthur Wasley; second bass, John . Burns, Lawrence Crean, James Root and Joseph Haffey. The double quartette consisted of Me: Daly, L. Crean, G. Crean, O'Day Burns, G.
