It was only by dint of pleading and arguing and persuading for hours. that the winsome and captivating ut- tie lady pictured above consented to the reproduction of her photograph in the newspapers. If ever there was a modest it is this same young miss.
 After she had given up the picture. she became almost panic stricken and was almist in tears because she could not get the picture back
 This interesting person is Miss Flor enec G. Legere. She is a singer, pOs- sessing wonderfully pure and strong contralto voice that has won the plaud- it's of critics many times.
 That voice she will use on the nights of Dec. 12 and 13. Miss Legere has one of the leading roles in Edward J Madigan's big musical comedy, At Belmont, which shows at Jackson's Theatre. She is cast as Miss May Edwards. fresh and sweet from board ing school.
 Miss Legere possesses strange sort of modesty. She does not hesitate in the least to sing before an immense throng of music lovers in New York or Boston. but it is altogether a diff ferent sort of a proposition to have her picture in the newspapers.
 Miss Legere studied for some time at the Boston Conservatory of Music and is now a pupil of Otto Paul Schubert Great predictions have been made by many music masters for her future in the world of music.

EXPENSE S1O PER
 WEEK PER PATIENT
Estimated Cost of Caring For Patients in County Homes For Treatment of Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis Commissioner George H. Knight of Lakev;ile made an in- teresting announcement yesterday af- ternoon. He said that the commis- sioners now believe that the cost for each person at the State Tuberculosis homes would probably be less than S10 a week. When the amount of the appropriation to be granted by. the Legislature was under discussion, it was believed by pr. Knight and many others that. although in other states the estimated sum for each person was SIP and s14, here s10 would suf flee. It was hoped that system and rigid economy would make the ex- pense less than $10
 They also announce that the Shelton home in Fairfield county is ready to receive sixty more patients. There was trouble with the water supply for short time there, but a new source of suply has been provided and forty ''incipient'' cases are now in that home. Ten more are expected from Bridgeport very soon. Letters relative to costs and admittance have been received from persons n New Haven and Greenwich The Shelton home has a capacity of los persons.
 There are ninety patients at the Meriden home and twenty patients at the Cedar Mountain home, which. with the forty patients at Shelton, makes 150 deriving benefit.

nearby towns working quietly, but we believe effectively, for moral and civic progress.
 My chief local work has been speaking in the public schools against the cigarette. By December 1, I shall have visited all the public schools of Bridgeport and, practically, all the schools of Stratford, Fairfield, Wes1- port and Southport and even places further away, giving in all about 100 addresses Casually about 20 minutes each) in the schools to over 16,OO0 children. I am not making a cru sade against tobacco, but against it's use, particularly the cigarette by min orS.
 Everywhere I go I find the same sad, alarming fact, viz, that the cigarette boy is the backward boy in school, and in a large proportion of cases the vicious, truant and incor- rigable boy seems to have been made such, chiefly, by the cigarette. have warned cigarette dealers who are violating the state law against the selling or giving away of tobacco in any form to persons under 16 years old. I have also given them a copy of the law. I have also quietly visit ed many of the newstands where vie and criminalizing literature is sold to the youth and warned them, leaving copy of the severe state law on this subject"

a growing hen seriously. If one of these hens offered fight to a rooster he would turn his back on her. Well, we needn't fear mannish woman any more than roosters fear growing hens. If women want to affect mannishness in their dress, walk with athletic stride and try to do the things their brethren do, lets charge it to a pass ing whim and rest assured that there is nothing serious in the manifesto ton.
 "Paraphrasing Burns. we might say that, A woman'S a woman for a that and this must be so. The sexes must maintain their strongest traits. This is a biological provision that the decrees of fashion can't override.
 Personally, I can't see that the American woman is any occasion for alarm. She is just as feminine, just as charming, just as distinctive and just as delightful to portray as ever. It is as foolish to fear that she will change as it is to speculate on what we will do for fuel when the sun grOwS cold"

IN THE THEATRES
POLI'S.

An exemplif1cation of the old adage
 whats bred in the bone will show through the fesh'. is demonstrated at Polls this weekain connection with the act of Harry Holman, the monologue and singing comedian. Several years ago Holman forsook the role of com mercial traveller for a tobacco house In the West. for the vaudeville stage following a big success he made in an amateur performance where he ap- peared IS end man in black face in minstrel show. During all the years that he has been appearing from coast to coast as an entertainer he had deep-rooted idea that his forte in vaudeville was "whiteface" act, but the managers knew him as an excel lent black face comedian and they did not know him without the cork. so he continued until Tuesday of this week at Poli's. when a change in the bill which came hurriedly made it nec> assary for Holman to go on witho& the cork and without the ludicrous makeup. The judgment of Holman h1mselef was proven. for he was a bigger hit in whiteface than the other way. and the management was insist ent on his continuing that way. Fol lowing Macart and Bradford. one of the biggest laughing hits in vaudeville. Holman walks out absolutely straight and gets the laughs with his material and without the assistance of make up. It is probable that he will con- tinue this style of work.
 Incidentally this weeks bill is giving great pleasure to capacity audiences, with Our Boys in Blue the big ap- plause getter. and Macart and Brad ford in "A Legitimate Hold-Up". and the George Bloomquest Players in Nerve. two great laughing sketches dividing honors. Also on the bill ap- pears Dillon, the Heterogeneous Lee turer. who vividly describes the mo- tion pictures; Reidy and Currier. in a most enjoyable singing act. and O'Dell and Kinley. acrobatic novelty dancers. Seats for the remaining performances are now on sale at the box office.

LET YOUR STOMACH
 HAVE ITS OWN WAY
Do Not Try to Drive and Force it to Work When it is Not Able or You
 Will Suffer All the More

You cannot treat your stomach as some men treat a balky horse; force, drive or even starve it into doing work at which itsrebels. The stom- ach is a patient and faithful servant and will stand much abuse and ill- treatment before it "balks,' but when it does you had better go slow with it and not attempt to make it work. Some people have the mistaken idea that they can make their Stoma chs work by starving themselves. They might cure the stomach that way, but have no use for a stomach when they got through. The sensible way out of the difficulty is to let the stomach rest if 1t wants to and employ a Sub- stitute to do it's work.
 Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets will do the work of your stomach for you and digest your food just as your stomach used to when it was well.- You can prove this by putting your food in 8 glass jar with one of the tablets and sufficient water and you will see the food digested in just the same time as the digestive fluids of the stomach would do it. That will satisfy your mind. Now, to satisfy both your mind and body take one of Stuart's S all and what you want-and you will feel in your mind that your food is being digested because you will feel no disturbance or weight in your stomach; in fact. you will forget all about having a stomach, just as you did when you were a healthy boy or girl.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in a natural way because they contain only the natural elements of the gastric juices and other digestive fluids of the stomach. It makes no difference what condition the stomach is in. they go right ahead of their own accord and do their work. They know their business and surrounding conditions do not influence them in the least. They thus relieve the weak stomach of all it's burdens and give it it's much-needed rest and hermit it to become strong and healthy.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents a box They are so well known and their popula-ity is SO great that a druggist would as soon think of be- ing out of alcohol or quinine as of them. In fact. physicians are pre- scribing them all over the land, and if your own doctor is real honest with you.he will tell you frankly that there Is nothing on earth so good for dys- pepsia as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

HIGH CHURCHMEN
 IN WORDY CLASH
Trinity Professor Shakes His
 Finger at Dr. Rainsford For Calling DOwnEpiscOpal Church
Special from United Press. }


 Hartford, Nov. 30-In church circles, here. today. there was much spirit ed discussion over the wordy clash between Rev. Dr. w. s. Rainsford, formerly rector of St. Georges church, of New York. and Rev. Cranston Bren- ton, professor of English. at Trinity, at the annual banquet of the Mems club of Trinity church. last night. During his address. on "Some Ways in Which the Church May Meet the Needs of the Present Day." Rev. Rainsford. stated. in substance, that the Episcopal Church has fallen upon evil days. Rev. Brenton refuted his statements.
 "The trouble about the Protestant Episcopal Church." said Dr. Rains ford, ''is that it is not Democratic. Other denominations have far out stripped her. We don't understand our age. We don't understand this wonderful new child of God, this baby Democracy"
 Dr. Rainsford said that the congre- gations are small and growing small CT: that the strong men, the men of brains and force in the world. are not being attracted within it's doors; that the poor and lowly are not look ing to the church for succor. Gen tlemen. we are up against it,'' he con- tinued, in closing. We've got to fit our machine to the new conditions. The working people. the submerged tenth. must be reached. The policy of the Episcopal church is to stand first on one leg and then on the other, while it does not know which side of the fence it is on.''
 Replying to Dr. Rainsford, Rev. Brenton said:' 1T dare to shake the remains of my mane in the face of the lion who has spoken, this evening, and to tell him that he Is mistaken, so far as the church in Hartford and Connecticut is concerned We are Democratic here.''

CHARLES DANA GIBSON OUT FOR
 LOVELY WOMAN
Especial from United Press. }


 New York, Nov. 30.-"When the sun becomes an icy ball, woman may no longer be woman; but not before then.''
 With this and other similar utter ances, Charles Dana Gibson, father of the world-famouS 'Gibson girl,'' came to the defense, today, of the Eternal Feminine" in American wo- men, in a statement to the United Press.
 In his roomy studio in Carnegie Hall, Gibson was asked for a rep.y to the mote of alarm" sounded by John w. Alexander, president of 9he National Academy of Design, and Dr. Dudly A. Sargent, director of gym naStics, at Harvard University, to the effect that American women are los ing their femininity and are rapidly approaching the masculine in their appearance and actions.
 Art circles amenities may have prevented Gibson from applying the word rubbish" to the views of Alexander and Sargent, but he hadn t spoken long until it was clear that such was his opinion.
 There is no real change in the woman of today from her ancestors" he said. "En masse, she may appear to have changed, slightly, but this is due to changing fashions. Her feet and waist may even be a trifle larger and her muscular development great CT, but this is a healthy sign, and adds to the attractiveneSS of women, instead of detracting from her charms There is absolutely no dan- ger of this development-if you want to call it such-being over-done.
 "It is when we consider women in- dividually, instead of en masse, that the ridicuIousness of the statement that they are losing their apparel, becomes apparent. Men love women as ardently as ever. The feminine charm is not diminished, the call of sex to sex is as strong as ever and the average woman can arouse the average man as much now as when Anthony and Cleopatra went boating They say they are growing hens, but I have an idea that no rooster takes

 Jimmie Wilson, an amateur artist. familiarity known as Bubbles" has been divorced by his wife, Bella. be- cause of his fatness. Jimmie depends for his livelihood upon an allowance from a maiden aunt-Selina Carru- thers-who is unalterably opposed to divorce. At the opening of the play, Jim, who is entertaining dinner party. gets word that Aunt Selma mas returned from Europe. Fearing to tell her of the divorce he appeals to Kit McNair, one of his guests, with whom he fancies himself in love, and in- duces her to impersOnate the divorc- ed wife. Kit carries off her part clev- erly but just as Aunt Selina is about to leave. 1t is discovered that Jim Japanese butler has been taken to the hospital and that the house is quar- antined. To add to the complications, Bella, the divorced wife; Tom Harbi- son, who is an old flame of Kits: a burglar, and policeman are also shut in.
