THE SECRET OF ARTISTIC DECORATING.

Doesn't lie in the costliness of the ma- terials used so much as in the manner
 in which they are used. The most beautiful fabrics that come from the looms may lose all their beau- ty and become merely commonplace in unskilled or inartistic hands.
 And, on the other hand, fabrics of
 little cost assume undreamed of grace l and beauty under the delft touch of the artist hand.
 We've been doing a very large share
 of the artistic decorating and furnish
 ing in New Haven for years. And we've been doing it at very moderate prices. Very likely for a great deal less than you think. At any rate, it is worth in- vestigating. So the moment you are
 ready for new draperies, curtains, or any kind of interior decorating, ask us. We know how

PALMA MINISTRIES.

{, On Thursday evening at Polls the Talma club will give Waterbury the only real local show of the whole year. The performers are all well known Waterburians, many of the songs, sparkling verses and jokes were written by the club members. The local political travesties intro ducing conspicuous local characters were also the work of local writers. The overture setting has been a big ex- pense to the club as well as much work for the stage manager. The scene will represent an interior with a wide staircase in the center. marble pillars and balustrades on either side. The company of 60 members vii, be costumed in suits of red, white and gold. The Olio number will introduce Altman and Curley. two local boys. in a clever dancing act. The Talma quar- tet. composed of Dr J. D. Freney. William ]. Hughes. Edward l.. Futile and Albert Adams, will warblc de- lghtfully in the soldier camp at Man tic. and there will be the female i'm persOnation act of well known arch itect assisted by two of Laura Con- stocks picks" which is sure to make big hit. Tickets are selling rapidly for the show.

ALDERMEN ANGRY.
Think Report on Unpaid Assessmenta

Some of the aldermen are very an- gry at the way the hoard of i"ance turned down their resolution asEirs for the report of the special commit tee on unpaid assessments and claim that if ii does not come in at the next meeting they will request the com mit,ce to furnish the aldermen with Il copy of the report. The aldermen de sired to see the committees report. not the finding of the board of finance or anybody else on the report. and as inc financicrs failed to give it to them first they feel that they have not been treated right in the premises and in tend to try their luck with MT McEvOy and Mir Lord. each of whom is sane
 bc in possession of copy of tho doc umcnt which they prepared for the board of finance and who in turn passed it along to Colonel Burpee. But it is q long time between now and March 6 and probably hy that time the report will he in shape fo: presentation to the board of aldermen. In any case there is nothing to Inc alarmed about. for if. as some of the aldermen state. the report is available from other sources. why. there is no reason to doubt but that it can he had provided somebody in authority should ask for it. IL is but fair to assume that the aldermen know what they arr talkin. about and that the commit tee is in q position to trot out another report at short notice. still it should be remembered that both NIT McEvor and Mir Lord denied any knowledge of fhe facts and referred evervlo,lv who called upon them to get tips on the matier to ihe department of iinance. which wouII secm to indicate that they srrren.iare.I all tO the mayor and loarl of financc. hut perhapS they sim ply took this meanS of getting Tia of pawsuapcr reporters and others. s0Iil'' If whom wanted to get pointers on the reD0rt before if p=<Sc,i out Of the committees hands.

POLLS
JOHN DREW.

The four essentials of successful comedy, witty dialogue, strong charac- terizations. consistent plot and plenty of atmosphere. are to be found in "The Duke of Killicrankie," which John Drew will present at Polls tonight. According to Captain AIanhalls play the Duke of Killicrankie is young and very eccentric. ' He never lacks the attention of the fair sex, which grounds in him the idea that when ever he proposes to young woman he should be accepted on the spot. Lady Henrietta Addison does not agree with him. They have known each other from childhood, and as d duke. Xii erankie has been her unsuccessful suitOr three times. He plans to abduct her. A tip to her porter. and her lady ship gets on the wrong train, which lands her at night with the dukes Highland castle as the only place Of refuge, and the duke himself genially turning up and courteously extending the hospitality of a host. There the lady must go, if anywhere, and. like a sensible woman she goes. The duke believes in conventions and there must Bt IIC SctS uIS liICIN Mir Pitt-Welby, M. F., to put up sim liar job on Mrs Mulholland, a wealthy widow at whom Pitt-Welby has for a long time unsuccessfully shot many q Cupid's dart. The success of the plot is too great for the comfort of the con- spiirators and the fun increases when it becomes evident that the fair pris- oners are so reconciled to their posi- ton that they are obviously waiting for the men to pop the proper ques- ticn. The ''jailers," with increasing delicacy. are the more unwilling to take advantage of their captives. The climax is reached when the story gets into a half-penny paper and reporter shows up. Something must be done, and the one solution is effected. Lady Henrietta sweetly admits that. no" she may go, she chooses to stay, while Mrs Mulholland commands the joyous Pitt-Welby to consider himself engaged. Prices are p, o0. a. Sl and $1.50.

VAUDEVILLE.

If ever mystitied audience left d theater it was the one which wit messed the initial presentation of "Phroso" yesterday afternoon. Be wilderment was written on every face and several very hot arguments over the real personality of the chief per former were vigorously suppressed by the policeman on duty to preserve order in the gallery. It is no eXagger- ation to say that no more complete and bafiifng novelty has ever been of fered here. It is absolutely impossi- hle to tell whether the figure Is ma chine or q human being and theater- goers who have easily penetrated the most marvellous feats of Kellar and Hermann will find in ''Phroso'' some thing which they cannot analyzc.
