Greenwich dentists, several of whom are known in their profession through- | out -the east, and practically all of whom number wealthy summer resi- dents from New York among their patients, have agreed upon a rate. The result isiannounced thus: “Teeth filled at the rate of ten cents a tooth.” Tt seems like a great opportunity, and it is. but there are conditions The * patient must be a resident of Greenwich and must present himself at the rooms of the United Workers | on certain days of the week in order to have the work done. In other words, the United Work- ers, which is an organization com- posed of wealthy wemen have inter- ested the dentists in-the work among the peor to the extent that they have formed an association and have | offered to care for the poor children's | teeth. The work is intended to be done free and ten cents a tooth is charged in order that the children and their parents may feel that they ! are. not the recipients of charity, but are paying in a measure for what they | get. | Scores of children have been treated | #0 that they may go through life with } good teéth instead of having them ruined before they reach the age when they ean earn menove emough to pay for treatment, This is only one phase of the Unit- ed Workers' club. They have estab- Ushed 'a bovs' club, with normal train- ing ‘school: a girls’ club. a sewing club, a day nursery, a visitation com- mittee and an employment bureai. Their - president is Mrs. George E Nichols. Not Her Firet Purchlse This is a2 baby story they tell out at Belolt: A woman called at a dry goods store to look at some baby dressed. " The clerk showed her a line valued at.$5 each, and talked volubly about “how roud” the mother ought to be over the baby. He suggested that ,possibly she might want a more expensive dress. | But the mother did not seem to “enthuse” a' bit over the clerk’s 5| “How ma children have asked the clerk, cautiously, “Oh, this is the eleventh,” she re- | plied, carefully scanning the price- tags. And out came a line of baby dresses with a more modest li { price SORE EYES CURED Eye-Balls and Lids Became Terribly Inflamed —Was Unable to Go About —All Treatments Failed, CUTICURA PROVED SUCCESSFUL ‘“ About two years ago my eyes got in such a.condition LhaL‘lgmu unable to go about.

This Woman and This Man. At the Broadway theater this even- ing will be seen This Woman and This Man, which is & sweet and fragrant as an old-fashioned rose garden. The sweet, gentle, loving, self-sacrificing manner of the deserted woman,. her scorn for the man who deserted her, are finely portrayed by Minnie Victor- son. A quiet dignity, an appreciation of the value of the things in this world that money cannot buy, the exaltation of her love above sordid pelf pervade the character of the play. and to one in love with the flne beauties of life the play will make a strong appeal with its opulence of sentiment BREED THEATER. Hudson-Fulton Naval Parade, Feature Motion Picture. The ever progressive Breed theater has secured for its feature picture this | week the Hudson-Fulton naval parade, a picture wondrous in the extent of its scope and variety and as pictorially | perfect as any motion picture ever pre- sented at the Breed. The picture opens with the launching of the Clermont, | the famous replica of the original Ful- ton hoat. This scene is very perfect, giving one a close view of the interest- ing boat, also a close view of it on the way under its own steam with the cu- rious paddles. There are also many views of the Half Moon, showing it under sail and from all of the desira- | ble points of view. The parade is | shown in all its entirety, including the | foreign battleships saluting, the tor- pedo boats, the police and life saving boats, the last named being shown in | saving the occupants of an overturned | boat, the big liners, including Lusitan- ia, and all of th eexcursion steamers, and the final review of the entire fleet while saluting passing steamers. 1Un- deniably good dramatic pictures arel shown, also a pieture -of Peary’s boat, Roosevelt, at the dock and preparing | to sail { Miss Florence Wolcott. the prima | donna of the Breed, scored a big hi with her rendition of e Nightingale's Trill, a difficult coloratura song by Wilhelm Ganze, winning a hearty core, to which she responded with Lehmann's If 1 Built a World for en You, HOME GARMEN" MAKING.
