Last fall we went on a Wwalking trip: Before we started, a friend made us out a rough map of the. country. On this map, good roads and bad, beautiful scenery, inns worthwhile and inns to-sedulously * avoid, were marked. Altogether it was a great help, that map. * As we laid the tattered remajns of it away with the other relics of our trip, my road mate remarked: Why Not Maps of Husbands and “Maps are great things. ‘We ought to have more of them,—for all sorts of things. ~Just A suppose married folks had charts of each other’s char- Ev Man Likes [ Elzconut Pie You can’t serve it too often. It is a big favorite among des- serts. You will never know the swiftness and ease with which a coconut pie can be made until you use Baker's Fresh Grated Coconut. No trouble—no mussy work of cracking the shell—no bruising your fingers—no tedious grat- ing of the meat! All grated and ready for use the moment the cen is open—as sweet, moin and tempting as if a fresh eocoriut had dropped from the tree into your hand. Remem- ber, it is fresh, not desiccated.

They, if they knew enough about themselves. But they wouldn’t. Guess their relatives would have to do it Sisters or brothers would be best. Mathers wouldn’t do,—they’d be too blind to the bad roads and the ugly spots.” Everyone laughed at this whimsical idea, and yet, llke many a whimsey, it has a grain of good hard sense at the heart of it. We' Should Pick Our Way Carefully. Suppose when one married one had handed to one & chart of one's hus- band’s peculiarities, wouldn’t it help? The chart would have directions of this nature: “If you want to ask any favor al- ways approach him in the evening di- rectly after dinner. “The thing he is most conceited about is his golf thaugh he does many other things better. You can't please him more than by letting him talk | about his golf playing. “He is not one of the men who yield when a woman cries. Tears make him more stubborn. “Never argue with him on such and such a subject. He is reasonable in other things but always loses his temper over that.” “Ete., Bte.” Don’t you think such a character chart would help? Of course a wise wife gradually finds out these things for herself but if she could learn them this way wouldn’t she save some friction and More Suppose We Charted Our Own Reefs. Charts of our own character for our own use wouldn’t be half bad, For instance,—one of my besetting sins is wasting time in small ways,— I ought to chart that reef. Getting into a communicative mood, saying too much and regretting it the next day is another reef.

The play is the newest metropolitan suc- cess ever presented by a local stock company. Indeed, many of the larger cities have not yet had an opportunity of enjoying this exceedingly funny farce. It was only through the per- sistent efforts of Mr. Naylor, that local theatergoers are afforded this pleasure. If you enjoy hearty and prolonged laughter, or if you believe you are laugh proof, don't fail to see the Walter Naylor Players in thia splendid production, CHANCE TO FIND A ‘ RYTHMIC AFFINITY” If you dance well with but one girl she is your “Rhythmic affinity”—so says Dr. Sargent. Dr. Sargent is the gymnasium direc- tor at Harvard and he is credited with having made the above statement but it'’s a sure thing that he never saw the many dancers who pair up so wonderfully well at any of the Fer- Brothers dance orchestra affairs which takes place In Holmes & Hoffman’s hall tomorrow evening and still have reason to pass that Te- mark. Every partner a fellow has would be his affinity, according to Dr. Sargent, for every one who dances to the mugic of this orchestra dances well. The music is so accurate in time and rhythm that it actually makes every dancer keep to the right time. The sweet, steady music of the flute, piano, 'cello, vialin and piccolo with drums and traps is a treat to dance ta but when the banjo or saxophone quar- tette once gets a playing the synco- pated one-steps and fox trots then every person either young or old gets the habit and way they ga. The waltz has a prominent part on the Ferdinando program and tomorrow evening'in Holmes & Hoffman’s hall many new waltzes never heard be- fore in this city will be played.

S. THESPIANS Dramatic Olub to Present Laughable Vehicle in Which Margaret Anglin Starred in New York. At the High school auditorium to- night at 8 o'clock the New Britain High School Dramatic club will pre- sent “Green Stockings,” a delightful comedy, in three acts. This is the play in which Margaret charmed ca- pacity audiences everywhere and had an extended run in New York at the Maxime Elliott theater. The play is the work of the celebrated English novelist A, E. W. Mason and it is a mlerry one both in plot and dialogue. The plot deals with the custom whereby an elder sister is compelled to wear green stockings at the wed- ding of a younger sister, provided she herself happens to be unmarried or unbetrothed. After having worn the *hated green stockings twice, Celia Faraday rebels when the time approaches for her to wear them a third time. She, there- fore invents a sweetheart, who bears the name of Smith, and she excuses his nonappearance by saying that immediately after she has become en- gaged he has been obliged to sail for the war in South Africa. AUP sur- prise of her sisters forces 1dr into details which have to be manufaz- tured at short notice. induced to write a letter to him, and although she subsequently thinks she has destroved it, it is mailed by her younger sister. In an endeavor to extricate herself from her predicament she later suc- ceeds in having published in the l.ondon Times a notice that Colonel Smith “died October 11th.” The strange part of the story is that the name which she thought was purely fictitious is borne by an officer in Her Majesty's service, who receives the Jetter and turns up under an assumed name shortly after the,publication of the death notice. His interview with Celia results in a series of tangible sit- uations that terminsate happily. Tickets for the play may be secured at Crowell's drug store until 6 o'clc tonight and after that at the academ building of the High school. A shoulder of veal will make a dc- liclous roast. It will then slice coid and the odds and ends that are left will make a very nice salad. If the quantity is not quite enough for a salad add celery and hard-boiled eggs. , 10c and 25¢ per box, All She is even REX BEACH MAKES The distinction of being the first author to produce his own books in motion pictures belongs to Rex Beach, America’s most fdmous author, who recently organized the. Rex Beach Pictures company for the purpose of making multiple-reel pictures of his novels. The first of these productions, “The Barrier,” will be seen at Fox's the- ater tonight and tomorrow. Rex Beach is deservedly one of t.hol most popular authors America has presented to the world of romantic literature, for his books are true to ! the most interesting of all American types. The sale of Mr. Beach’s book runs into the hundreds of thousands, and their popularity, is constantly increas- ing. “The Barrier,” .the most dra- matic and thrilling of them all, was onc of the “best sellers” fof a long period, and gtill heads the list of flc- tion most called for in public libraries. It is peculiarly adapted to the mvotion picture. Its scene is laid among sur- roundings of unusual beauty and -grandeur, and the powerful situations QUicK RELIEF FROM _ CONSTIPATION f Get Dr. Edwards’ ards’ Olive Tablets ‘That is ¢he Joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tab- lets, the substitute for calomel.
