Mr.. HARDY AS SHERLOCK HOLMES
Detective Story "The Sign of The
Four" Presented AT The
Colonial.

Inc intense Interest ana graphic
portrayal of Sir A. Conan Doyle's fa-

Colonial Theatre last night pleased a
large audience. The play is the dra-

favorite detective stories 1t graph

greatest of all detectives, Sherlock
Holmes, the cocaine fiend whose
strength of character and great men

has made him famous and has also
made the regular" farce of Scotland

Sam. b. Hardy, who at one time was
the under study for William Gillette
Mr.. Hardy handles the character we'll

does Mr.. Hardy forget his part, and
even when his love for the girl whose
mystery case he is handling and en-
deavoring to unravel is at stake. he
is the same methodical lover that

Holmes, the detective. Mr.. Hardy's

figure and personality that the author
has given his great detective in all his
famous writings. The story is too

Watson" as the author has pictured
him. DIR. Watson is much older
man than Mr.. Hutchinson, and far less
handsome. However, Mr.. Hutchinson

She made the most of a small part and
the audience appreciated her almost
as much as "Dr Watson did.

The Science of Interpret.
ing Handwriting

The reading OF character from
handwriting is science of so
long standing that nothing need
here be said in It's defense The
choosing of a wife or husband from
the reading of ones handwriting
is a matter which VIII at once raise
some questioning. Mile Ismar
wishes to state at the beginning of
her revelations that although much
greater happiness may be found IN
the married life II similarity of
tastes, congeniality OF dispositions.
and popularity of temperamenrs
are carefully considered. never
theless the only perfect happiness
therein will ever be based on and
nourished oy high ethical sense
OF the meaning OF love and mar
riage
In her descriptions of the person
whom you should marry. Mile.
Ismar will consider these two
points: Some people may need
comfort, understanding, and in
spiration more. and some may need
criticism to urge them on.
And finally she warns you that
you ever bear in mind the fact
that married bliss should be mu-
tual: that you must give much as
well as ask much, and that the
real success of your married life
must ever depend. in It's final is
sue. upon your own depth OF nature
and ethical stamina.

The Fashionable Color

IL is next to impossible to decide upon
the one and only fashionable color of
the winter, for there are so many colors
and so many shades OF color which are
popular, that to say there is but one is
absurd. Purple in various shades is !n
style, new red and new blue, also a
new brown. and black has come into

question to be decided by the individual

A Pour Seasons, Lunchenn.

The beginning OF the new year Is a
good time for four-seasons' luncheon
This is one of the prettiest entertain
ments hostess can give small party
Of her woman friends. -Four rooms O.
the house should be used in the serv-
ing. each room decorated to represen.
the season chosen. Each table should
represent a course and the course
should correspond TO the eatables in or
der in the season it represents. For
instance:
One room should be set aside to rep
resent spring. Flowers, artificial or
real, should be used in decoration. AS
spring is riot OF color, no special
scheme of color need be used. Apple
blossoms Will make n dainty table deco
ration, and the place cards may be plain
bits OF card with a buttercup run
through one corner. At this table may
be served the first courses-cherries on
the stem. representing the early spring
fruit, and lamb broth.
Summer in the next room NAV hsv.
roses alone for decoration, or all the
mowers which summer brings Here
the place card may be a long-stemmed
rose, tied with narrow ribbon, on
OF printed. For this course frogs legs.
Wnlcn are summer delicacy, NAV be
served, with creamed potatoes and
fresh peas.
The autumn room may have autumn
leaVes for the room decoration, and
chrysanthemums for the table. or vice
versa, and here the place cards may be
artlnclal autumn leaves, on which the
name Is wyitten or printed Plain
Wnlte cards, with the leaf painted in the
corner, will be quite as pretty also.
oyster salad may be served.
The winter table, of course, comes IN
white. with holly, poinsetta and the
greens adding the color. Very small
artificial pine trees may be used as the
place cards, with the names printed
on the pots. This. too, brings the final
pudding. surmounted with
holly sprigs and borne IN steaming hot
to be cut at the table, and, finally. nuts
and coffee
If music is desired, special programs
may be arranged for the serving OF
each course-the Spring Song of
Mendelssohn. Maude Whites The
Spring Has Come" or any other song
or composition which will represent the
seasons.
