of hearing Alessandro Bonci, the sill
ver-toned tenor. who upon his first
visit to this country several years ago
was hailed as the only possible rival
to the great Caruso, and who has
since maintained that enviable repu-
tation.
Bonci is one of the chief stars in
the galaxy of the Metropolitan Opera
House and it is not often that a sing
err of his magnitude in the operate

SACRED HEART SOCIETY
ATTRACTED 200 COUPLES

The big dance and reception given
last night at Eagles hall by. the Sa-
cred Heart Temperance. Athletic and
Literary Society proved to be just the
occa sion desired by about 400 young
people as a pleasant way of passing
New Years night.
Maloney's orchestra rendered the
music for sixteen dance numbers The
hall was handsomely decorated for the
occasion and the beautiful gowns of
the women added much to the attrac-

was one of the best in the history of
the society and was greatly enjoyed

RUSSIAN DANCERS AT
The HYPERION JAN. g

How far do you walk every day?
Four miles-five-ten?
How would like to dance at least
10 to 25 miles every night? That is
what the celebrated Russian prima
ballerina assoluta, Mile. Anna Paw
New Haven, on Monday evening, Jan.
9, does. 1t seems preposterous, yet
such is the case.
Mile. Pavlowa never knew until re-
Gently the extent of her photographic
activities. While visiting Paris
lapidary's establishment she was in
duced to buy a tiny golden pedometer
the fact she danced $50 miles during
her performances the following week.
Now she uses the recording instru-
ment whenever she makes an appear
ance.
A nymph-like, black-eyed little
sprite, with the appearance of a child
rather than of woman-such is the
pen picture drawn Of Anna Pavlowa
Her equally famous assistant M. Mi
chael Mordkin, who comes to New
Haven with her, is described by en-
thusiasts as a Greek statue come to
life
Of their dancing in Portland, Ore
gon, few weeks ago, critic writes:
Into q beautiful garden overlook
ing a cleaning lake a Roman comes,
a handsome youth with wide saoul-
ders and brown bare limbs, that are
large with muscles. A jeweled circlet
binds his hair, and he stands like a
picture of triumphant virility Then
Pavlowa comes, like a beautiful rose
petal waited in by a breeze. In her
movements we sense q beauty which
restores to vigor that senile phrase,
the poetry of motion. Pavlowa floats,
the tips of her slender toes trembling
on the stage.
mo less marvellous, however, were
the two artists in their 'Danse Bacch-
anale,' with the boisterous music of
Glazounow as it must have been
danced in the sunset of the woods in
the dead centuries. The two call up
a vision of the revels of Rome and the
juice of purple grapes as they rush
on, Pavlowa with parted smiling lips,
disheveled hair and poses Of magnifi-
cent abandon, Mordkin catching the
crimson veil from her shoulders, dane
ing, still dancing to the Pipes of Pan
until Pavlowa sinks swooning at the
feet of Mordkin, pressing the red roses
to her lips.
'Not to be forgotten, in dwelling
on the two artists, is that they were
aided by the Imperial Russian Ballet,
all dancers of the first rank

Overfatness Condemned

Fat. or even fattish, women read
ers who want to be in the mode this
year must understand that the de-
mand is for lines, not curves, and
govern themselves accordingly.
That means OFF with the fat. It
has become a duty. Many are try
ing exercise or dieting; but it is GER
tain they will find these methods too
slow and unreliable. Che cheapest
and safest way to get In form Tor the
Directoire mode is by means of Mar
mola Prescription Tablets. Any drug
gist Cor the Marmola Co, 81 Farmer
Bldg, Detroit, Mich.) will give you a
large-sized case Of these elegant little
fat reducers, containing a good, gen.
erous supply. for seventy-five cents
and even this quantity should be
a decided impression on your excess
fat. Many have lost as much as d
pound a day.
These Marmola Prescription Tab
lets may be used with impunity ana
likewise perfect condolences. Tor, being
made strictly in accordance with tn
famous Marmola Prescription, they
are, of course, quite harmless Thee
are rather beneficial than otherwise
in fact, never disturbing the stomach
or causing a wrinkling OF the hesn.

FADs AND FASHIONS

BLACK and white in broken plaids
Is very stylish.
The littel round cap of heavy wors-
ted that originated last summer IL
France has taken great noio. 1t Ii
ideal for motoring.
quite the latest toque is OF pure
white feathers, trimmed with sin
gle small white bird of cluster o,
white Marabout feathers
Paris Is very emphatic in the use
OF the cioth-topped shoe and the upper
must match the color OF the walking
suit or carriage gown.
Garlands Of roses are now Deine
draped over cloche hats for little. tots
silver or gilt tissue or soft satin are
the materials most used.
very economical way Of trimming
a velvet coat or costume is to have
a detachable collar and deep cuffs OF
fur, which can be worn at VIII.
Black and white effects are being
made ND in many lines. A favorite
with several of the manufacturers L.
the background with white pencil
lines.
For evening the slippers are revel-
ing in a luxury of colors ana mater
ials. Lace, satin, cloth of gold and
silver and many colors of suede and
finished kid are shown.
For the matron the narrow hair
bandeau is very appropriate. Some
times they are fashioned OF narrow
silver ribbon tied in a stiff necktle
bow at one side
Silk Marquisette is taking the place
Of chiffon to great extent, as ORA
perry over silk and satin, and is be-
ing largely used for evening gowns
as well as afternoon dresses
Buckles for slippers come in an
tique forms, gold. silver and jeweled
disks and fluffy rosettes of tulle and
satin are used to decorate the front
OF the evening shoe.
Among the novelties in furs is tall
less errnine, sometimes bordered with
the little black and yellow tails. and
AGAIN with a totally different fur in
color and texture.
The touch of scarlet or red is a
dominant novelty in the winter frocks.
This red is merely used as a touch,
IN pipings, or in a single flower ON
crowns and muffs and stoles.
Velvet calf is the name given to q
new leather which is made up into all
kinds of accessories. In texture it is
like suede with an irregular watered
pattern running through 1T.
The Empire fashions as now worn
are not by any means shapeless. They
are on the contrary made so as to
display the figure to the best advan-
tage, even though the waist comes
almost under the armpits.
distinct feature of the newest fur
sets Is the combination with delectable
materials, soft, supple satins, velvets,
chiffons, metallic laces. Oriental en-
broideries and numerous ornaments of
silk cords, braids, fringes and PEN
dants
The most effective afternoon dresses
are those of black mousseline over
silk or satin in Oriental design, most
or rnem having a deep hem OF velvet.
There are no touches of white on these
dresses The guimpes are of black
lace or tucked chiffon.
From all sources investigated comes
the announcement that the new spring
lines will show trimmings. Although
to the present no extreme novelty In
trimming has developed, the new lines
will at least have some braid and
cotton trimming.
