NrTA's NEW YORK FASHIONS
Charming House Dresses, Only SIPS to $2.0O-No Excuse for Being Dowdy Now.

l. certainly am glad to record that in my shop prowlings fail to find the wrapper and kimona that prevailed some seasons. ago.
 Instead of which there are trig and trim house dresses" They are much heater and prettier end equally com fortable. I wonder that any woman, unless a downright invalid, would consent to envelop her figure in the nondescr1pt garments once considered the only kind suited to indoor semi negligee weear.
 Of course the lady who has a maid to dress her hair, lace her corsets, and button her boots requires a silk fluffy garment in which she looks very engaging while the toilette du- ties are performed. The average every day girl or woman who jumps out of bed to assist her mother or per- forms herself the usual household duties, is the one to which these house dresses especially appeal.
 They have been really doing mis- slonary work. For no feminine in stinct condones hair in papers and old slippers in combination with the dainty neatness of these little gowns.
 Though they are supposed to be worn only in the mornings, they are quite pretty enough for any summer afternoon appearance.
 Now just let me describe three saw recently. with prices as well. See

POLI'S

DorlnG the present week the thea- tresoers of Bridgeport have had the opportunity of making the acquaint- ance Of the Poli Players in one of the light, witty and brilliant comedy successes of today; during the week 10 come Bridgeport will see this truly remarkable stock company in a pow erful and intensely modern drama
 The Witching Hour," the latest and greatest play from the pen Of Ameri- cas- foremost playwright, Augustus Thomas.
 Just as "Nobody's Widow" display ed the ability and delicate skill of Miss Blanche Hall, the leading wom- an, MT. George Arvine, the leading man, and their clever and capable associates. in the lighter vein so will mastery of the more dramatic and impressive roles.
 Incidentally as "The Witching Hour" calls for larger cast than "Nobody's Widow" Bridgeport will have an op- portunity of making the acquaintance of some more of the talented mem bers of the Poli Players company, in- cluding a great local favorite- Devine.
 MT. Devine will appear in the role of Lew Ellinger," one of the most important of the production, and one WHICH VIII give ullu d cAduCe to uic- play his theatrical gifts at their best
 The Witching Hour" is one of the greatest of current theatrical success and one which, up to the coming pre- sentation by the Poli Players, has never appeared at popular prices at any playhouse in America. It is an- other golden theatrical opportunity prepared by MT. s. z. Poli for his patrons in Bridgeport.
 'The Witching Hour" presents ev- cry element of popular appeal. It has an intensely dramatic plot. with wealth of heart interest in theA af- fecting love story, and large amount of good comedy judiciously introduced and serving as an Illuminating side- light but never interfering with the main thread of the drama.
 The author has treated in a popu- lar manner the great subject of tele- pathy or thought transference. It is a daring subject for a play but MT. Thomas has shown his genius by weaving it into one of the most thrill ing and gripping of dramas ever writ ten. This mingling of that Great Un- known of which the human mind dim- ly perceives the borderland-with the happenings of modern life in such centers as Louisville and Washington has afforded the dramatist an entire ly new field to work in. Yet MT. Thomas has not portrayed the impos- sible and so far as the supernatural part of the play is concerned, it is no more than the investigations of the English society for Psychological Re search have clearly proven to be pos- sible-and every day happenings in
 The coming of 'The witching Hour' is a treat to which all classes of theatregoers may look forward with the keenest pleasure.

THE NEW LYRIC

There has been no success this sea- son at the Lyric theatre like that at- tained this week by the Frank Carpen- ter Stock company in When Knight which have enjoyed the performances of this beautiful comedy drama have given every evidence of their appre- citation. and the week has been one of the. biggest. in the matter of attend ance. of the season. Miss Cleveland stock company Bridgeport ever saw, have ail reaped golden opinions for their excellent work in this play, and they have established themselves on even . higher plane than ever.
 There are but three more opportun- cess, this evening, and twice to-mor- row. For all the remaining perfor- mances, the sale of seats has been very large, and it is a. surety that the theatre will be filled to the doors at each. Those who have not yet had the pleasure of witnessing this produc- tion should be sure and get their seats at once. and they will find that every claim which has been made for the Carpenter company is fully justified.
 In Green Stockings" Margaret Am glin's delightful comedy. which will be the offering for the coming week, Miss Cleveland will be seen in the leading role. that played by Miss Angiin in the production which is still creating a perfect furore in all the big cities. Green Stockings" is said to be the finest play of its kind which has been seen in a decade. and the Bridgeport public Is fortunate in having a man. ager of MT. Carpenters enterprise to give them the opportunity to see it. thus early in stock.
 The coming production next week will be the first time the play has been seen in this city by a stock organiza- tion, and it will certainly receive the finest treatment at the hands of so clever a cast as that comprised in the Carpenter company.
 Not alone Miss Cleveland, but all the members of the cast will be seen in roles for which they will be indi- vidually fitted, and the comedy will have a stage presentation which will be thoroughly in keeping with the eigh standard which the Carpenter company has set for itself in "When Knighthood Was in Flower"
 Seats for next week are now on sale, and may be had for any performance. They should be selected early, for they are in big demand, and are going very fast.

DRESS HAT IDEA

One often wishes to carry a dress hat when taking a long motorine trip, How to do this without a large box is often a problem. I made a large square bag of paper muslin the color of the lining of our auto, says a contributor to Good Housekeeping. Into this l put my hat and pin 1t over our heads by all four corners. In this way the hat rides easily, does not crush or catch the dust, and is out of the way, besides being out of sight of paSSersby

This "house dress,'' good enough ev- en for graduation purposes. had a deep hem over which were run three serpentine lines of washable braid.
 This was also used to form a pep lum effect in the drapery continua- tion of the waist. The Dutch collar was also outlined by the braid, and the elbow sleeves had turned back cuffs with three rows of the braid.
