The play is’a Scotch musical com- edy and follows closely the sugges- tion of the well known Robert Burns poem, It glves the pleture of old homelife in Scotland; its at- mosphere and home customs, There were a number of well known dear- ly loved Scottish songs sung, the dry humor which is typical of the race, old men modding over their game of checkers in the chimney corner, all helped to give the air of a Saturday night in any Scotch cot- tage about the time of 1700, The production was staged and coached under John Danlels, the well known Scotch tenor, SHUTTLE MEADOW COSTUME BALL Gayetles, decorations, elaborate and brilliant, posters of vivid color and unique subject looked down upon a gay scene of dancing and revelry at the Shuttle Meadow club last Saturday evening when society dreased up in costume to attend the Artists' and Models' ball.

COLLEGE CLUB MEETS Russian girls in the colorful cos- tumes of their native land gave a delightful program of music at the regular meeting of the New Britain College club held on Monday evening | |at the home of Miss Agnes Johnston | |of West Main street. The balalaka music in accompaniment to the sing- /ing lent an air of color to the eve- nings entertainment. In addition Williamson of Wesleyan University gave a talk on “Justice in Taxa- tlon.” He accepts doctrine that the subjects of a state should contribute to its support in proportion to their ability to pay. He contrasted the large class of citizens who either legally or illegal- 1y escape taxation with the class who bear that burden. To the former group belong the average citizens who fail to list their personal proper- ty such as watches, musical instru- ments and furniture, the professional . . class, government employes includ- | ing school teachers, holders of tax- exempt bonds, and shareholders in corparations who pay a 12% per cent rather than a 25 per cent or 46 per cent tax such as is paid on incomes from unincorporated businesses; to the taxpaying group belong the peo- ple who honestly report for assess- | ment their personal property, the ow | Protessor Willlamson proposed | [that this unjust Inequality of taxa- tion be corrected by certain forms, such as abolishing the gener- al property tax, reducing tax rates to what the traffic would bear, and |levying a state income tax. Assisting Miss Johnston fn enter- | taining her guests were Mrs. Donald ' Bartlett, Mrs. P. F. McDonough, Mrs, Stanley H. Holmes, Miss Agne: Finnegan, Miss Ilga Harvey and Mrs R. H. Hubbard.
