ELLEN TERRY.

l At Poli's tomorrow evening, the distinguished English actress, Ellen Terry, will be seen with her London company in Captain Brassbound's s Conversion" by George Bernard Shaw. The play is a very brilliant one and gives Miss Terry one of the best parts she has had in her long stage career The scenic effects are very elaborate, Charles Frohman giv- ing the play very complete produc- tion because 1t is Miss Terry's fare we'll American tour. The story .of the play is not compli- |cated one. Its interest lies in the
 manner of it's telling, very largely,
 and the play itself is best appreci-
 ated as a vehicle for Ellen Terry in
 which to bring her charming wares
 to market. Lady Cicely is de-
 scribed by Shaw as woman who
 might be anywhere between 30 and
 40 years of age, who seems to regard
 herself as sort of nurse and pro-
 tector for all human kind, and more especially the lowly in wealth and
 position. It is by her unconven- tional womanhood, broad charity and fearlessness of consequence that she captures and makes subject to her
 wishes and directions an entire band of brigands. Prices 25 cents to S2.
 No free list. Seats now on sale. Telephone 1884.

VAUDEVILLE.

It is the general opinion among theater goers that the show at the Jacques this week which closes the season, is the best bill of the year. The Kita-Banzai troupe of Japs have "a real sensational act. The ten per- formers are all phenomenal tumblers and acrobats and have no end of ex- citing feats. The silk woven drop curtain which cost thousands of dol lars to import is beautiful piece of work. The curtain snows the Japan ese navy and is hand woven in silk The great screams of laughter which greet Watson's farmyard is excellent proof of the success of this act. The performing pigs, roosters, geese and other farmyard animals do many sur prising things. MT and Mrs Allison in Why Minnie Yumped Her Yob" is delightful bit and gets much ap- plause. Ward and Curran are fun nier than ever. Their new version of "The Terrible Judge" is highly amusing and has an abundance of re- freshing wit The big city four, Miss Nora Kelly, Charles and Nellie King, and the electograph complete the last bill of the season.

PARTY FOR MONTH oF MAY.
City Mother Has Evolved a Really
 Pretty Idea.

A mother who lives in the city is planning to take a dozen children out into the country on a search for wild flowers. Staying out of school this one day is considered justifiable inasmuch as the benefit to be derived will be great.
 She has provided small basket for each child and will pack 12 dainty luncheons. taking an alcohol lamp for heating cocoa which she will carry in large bottle. She has planned to return home by three o'clock. treat the children to ice cream and cookies, then let them trim and fill their bas- kets to be carried to sick or crippled child, she having made out the list from names given her by the bureau or charities. Seems to me this kind Of party would be reasonable all during the month of May.

MAY MUSIC FESTIVAL.

| The Waterbury May music festival
 committee has certainly been for itunate in it's selection of soloists for
 the big event of week after next. The
 very names of Maud Powell, violin
 ist. and Charlotte Maconda, colora- ture soprano, for instance. are draw ing cards of magnitude to lovers of
 good music, and certainly it would
 have been hard to find three singers Iof more ability for the work they have to do than Mime Isabelle Bouton, icontralto, Ellison Van Hoose, tenor, and Gw,lym Miles, bass. who are to sing the solo parts in the opera Samson and Delilah" at the Tues day evening performance. Mir Van
 Hoose will also be soloist at Monday levening's concert, on the same pro gram with Maud Powell. who will play the Brueh D minor concerto. Mir
 Van Hoose. on his first appearance, will sing the famous Prize Song"
 This singers double appearance will
 be especially welcome. for in recent
 years few singers have come more .deservedly into popularity than Ell
 son Van Hoose. Though of Dutch
 descent. Van Hoose is an American
 born and bred, his home being in
 Tennessee. where much of his early
 musical training was obtained. Sub .sequently his studies were supple

 himself in the hands of the best mas .ters and devoted several years to Jne

A Dinner for May psy.

This can be made delightful occa- sion. Write the invitations and place each one in tiny basket, with a flow CT and bit of green. Have them deliv. cred by hanging on the doorknob, the messenger ringing the bell to be sure they are received. This revives the old and pretty custom of tying to the doorknob May basket filled with flowers and perhaps a tiny gift, then hastening out of sight before the door was opened. Of course the most suit able centerpiece is Maypole or a large gilt basket filled with flowers. To choose partners for any entertain ment scheme the hostess may have in mind, make a tulip bed" Fill shal. low wooden box with sawdust or sand. cover with green crepe paper and place on tabourette or table. Then make realistic tulips out of crepe tis- sue paper if the real ones are not pro- curable and expense cuts no figure. On the end of each wire stem place the half of some well-known quotation, or the title of some book. When the quotetion is made whole, or the au- thor of book found, the couples are ready to proceed; the flowers should be pulled first by lady, then gen. tleman. On one of the tulips there will be crown drawn and the person who gathers" it will be adorned with Q chaplet of flowers. representing the May day "Queen;" man should ex. change with lady if he draws the crown.

to the figure, but corset covers, night gowns and such garments can safely be made to measurement, without any preliminary trying on" at all. Combination garments are extreme. ly popular, one or two of these being shown in the illustration. For in- stance, the second sketch shows a corset cover and drawers in one, a most comfortable and graceful gar ment. This model is planned to do away with the seoarate skirt, thus avoiding any bunchines5 aDout the hips.
 French nainsook was used for the garment pictured, the trimming con. sisting of German Val insertion and edge. A corset cover ard skirt com. bination is also much liked, especially with princess gowns of thin materials. These are so cut that the fastening is down the middle of the back, this fastening also being seen in some of the corset covers designed for wear with thin summer gowns.
 Fine longcloth and cambric are gen. orally used for petticoats designed for ordinary wear, although the very elaborate ones with hand.embroidered scallOps or elaborate trimmings of lace are usually of nainsook-a ma. terial which is also generally used for night dresses.

 Fig. No. ! shows one of the best. liked styles, the gown being made so that it can be slipped on over the head, so that no other opening is nee essary. Dainty hand-embroidered scallops finished the edges of the neck and sleeves, and little eyelet holes were embroidered below the scallops about the low-cut neck, through which wash ribbon was run.
 The yoke Of the gown was inlet with curved pieces of Valenciennes insertion, these lace sections being worked into the design in hand em. broidery, used as decoration. The yoke was joined to the lower part of the gown by fine entredeux.
 The other sketches shown in the plate depict several pretty designs for trimming underwear. Fig. l shows corset cover cut in one piece, the ma. terial being straight in the middle of the back and bias in front Round medallions combined with half.inch- wide insertion of Val. lace were used as trimming, the neck and sleeve holes being finished by ribbon threaded beading and Valenciennes edge.
 Fig. shows a French chemise hand-embroidered and scalloped and trimmed with little fine lace about the edges of the neck and sleeves, while Fig. 4 shows drawers of main. sock trimmed with round medallions of batiste and yalenciennes insertion. A full lace-edged rufie finished the hem in shallow scallors.
 No. 5 shows a corset cover which closes down the middle of the back. while No. pictures a very attractive Empire chemise.

An Apple Blossom Lunc heon.

On apple-blossomed cards the invita- tions for May luncheon will be sent out tomorrow. It is an informal af- fair, but very dainty. The hostess is fortunate to live in a suburb where fruit trees are plentiful, and recogniz- ing the fact that nothing is so appro- priate as what the seascn and nature provides, she will make her house into dream of beauty by banking man. tels, filling fireplaces, umbrella jars and other large receptacles with masses of pink and white blooms.
 On arrival the guests will be re- freshed with grape juice and waters and then repair to the dining-room lighted by alternate pink and white candles to partake of this tempting luncheon: Celery soup, crown roast of lamb, new peas and potatoes, hot rolls, tomatoes stuffed with sweet breads, capped by mayonnaise; for dessert, maple mousse in white boxes with spray of apple blossoms on the top; small pink and white iced cakes. If the day is warm coffee is to be served on the flower trimmed porch, afterwards a walk is to be taken in the nearby woods. This is a gentle hint to suburban people to entertain their city friends during this glorious month, when Mother Nature" is wait ing to receive her children in all the radiance of her pristine spring glory.
