FOOD FOR THE BRIDAL TEA This is the last of Sister Mary's five articles on food for wedding feasts— how to prepare and serve it. Refreshments for a bridal shower should be light and as attractive and fanciful as possible, During the af- ternoon a drink of some sort is always welcomed. This should be served some time b&re the real tea party. Serve the tegffat small card tables. The guests are much more comfort- able and the extra work is not worth considering. A salad, ‘sandwiches, tea, an ice of some sort and cakes or macaroons provide a happy medium of simplicity and elaborateness for a bridal affair.

Paris, May 23.—The war of the pump and can which has been send- ing the price of gasoline down sharply during the past three months has end- ed in a treaty of peace between the rivals. 3 The familiar red pump labelled “filtered gasoiine'” was introduced into the Paris region a few months ago by an American concern and spread rapidly, sv rapidly that the nig locai refiners who have large sums lockd up in cans grew alarmed and began cut- ting prices against the pump. The pump interests responded and tetween them the price og the gallon dropped by stages from $1.50 to 75 cents. The belligerents then found the war unprofitable, came to an ar- rangement and raiged the pricé by 15 cents a gallon, at which advance it remains fixed.

Through correspondence, Ludwig iearned of the course of affairs and immediately the old lame of romance was again kindled.

A splendid production of “Smilin’ Through' was presented by the Cor- micah Players at the Lydeum theater last evening, The performance was the best that the players have as yet given, on an opening night, and every member of the cast did justice to his or her part, The stage settings were good and drew forth much applause from the first nighters. Applause for a stage setting is seldom forthcoming in New Britain. The drop used in the pro- logue to depict a scene outside of a garden gate was a very fine plece of work and furnished an impressive opening to the production. Miss Edna Archer Crawford, despite the fact that she has been playing character parts since her appearance in New Britain, gave a finished per- formance, first as Moonyeen, who was killed on her wedding day by a jealous sujtor, and then as the young Kathleen, who is the image of her de- ceased aunt, Moonyeen, Miss Craw- ford should be praised for the splen- did manner in which she portrays her dual roles. Lynn Stdrling so finely interpreted the role he characterized that one could almost feel with him the love he possessed for Moonyeen and later for Kathleen, her niece, and the sen- timent of friendship he had for Dr. Owen Harding, his most ardent friend. The makeup of Mr. Starling, first as John Carteret of late years, then as the young Carteret, fifty years ago ,and again as John Carteret would appear in 1919, was very fine. Playing opposite Mr. Btarling as Dr. Owen Harding was Horace James, who gave an excellent characterization of the beloved doctor, always advising John Carteret to change his views on life and forget what happened fifty vears ago. Mr. James was seen at his best. Rexford Kendrick provided excel- lent support in the dual rele of Ken- neth Wayne and Jeremiah Wayne. He might have, however, improved on his acting as a drunkard in the second act whes he returns to regain the lost love of Moonyeen. Many in the audience recognized Desmond Gallagher in the role of Willie Ainley, although he was billed as Jack Courtney on the program. Others in the cast whose work con- tributed to the success of the per- formance are, George Campbell, Mar- celle Nelkin, Thomas Meegan, Ber- nard Grogan, Mary Moore, Jane Smith and Catherine Merrideth. The story is simple and well told. Fifty years after the Kkilling of her aunt Moonyeen, Kathleen falls in love with Kenneth Wayne, son of the man who killed Moonyeen. The obstacles nlaced in the way of the young lpvers by John Carteret who was to have been married to Moonyeen the night she was killed, form the foundation of a very pretty story and romance.

PALACE THEATER That Norma Talmadge in “Smilin’ Through' ‘is the greatest photoplay of modern times was illustrated again last evening at the Palace to a ca- pacity audience who were loud in their praise for this wonderful pro- Auction. Portraying a dual role she will captivate everyone and will gain many new admirers after viewing this plcture. This role gives Miss Tal- madge great opportunity to exercise her wonderful emotional acting for which she is famous. sHarrison IFord, her leading man also plays a al role to perfection and is charming as the lover. The Palace presentation is worthy of a word of praise as a sym- phony orchestra plays the special music score that fits the picture to perfection, Several young ladies act as ushers clad in the costumes that predominate in the early part of the productien and Mrs. Mary T.
