GREEN PEA SOUP

the old fashioned coral roses with pear shaped drops, to the newer gun metal and sapphire. This combina- tion is much affected by those who do not care for imitation diamonds. Yet so good are the copies of fine French gem designs in well cut stones, that Rhinestone" does not signify the pic ce of alum which too many ornaments formerly resembled.
 For those in mourning are some very smart jet effects. But the long black drops are terribly trying to all save those of the fairest complexiOns.
 Tn fact. though stylish there isn't anything really very pretty in these dangling ornaments. Small ears afe made to look larger, and large ears grow unduly prominent when atten- tion is so blatantly called to their size.
 The lest style is the single baroque pearl, which has the advantage of be- ing inexpensive and generally becon1- ing, so that if ear rings must be worn, this is a good style to adopt. . Prices in these ear rings run from thirty-fve cents to five dollars. wouldn't advise the former-even though they look good. The wires are not gold, and even though there is no hole through which they are to pass. the pressure on the skin and the moisture form a dangerous combina- ton, which even the knowledge O. be- ing up to date cannot entirely over- come.

NITA'S NEW
 YORK FASHIONS Woman's Dangling Orna- ments-Barbaric Display
 Common

I was walking up Fifth Avenue the other day, just at matinee time when the great throng of beautifully. gown ed on pleasure bent were passing by in their wonderful early spring fnery. I was attl acted by the semi -barbar- ic additions to almost every costume Such a dangling and jingling of trin- kets! It did seem as though many of the so-called smartest dressers ha d gone to such extremes that the tink- ling in the tin shop would be no more metallic or unmelod:ous.
 Now just for example, there was Mrs. Philip Lydig. Unques tionably she is one of the mort Parisienne in style, being a combination of French, Spanish and Amer: can. To her th ase little tinkling cymbals must certainly appeal, for she carried enough junk'' to make her heard a block off.
 Her earrings first were very notice able. Ear rings by the way are a mania. Some are so long. so heavy.

 The temperature stood at 12 above

 MT. Shepard, through whose indi-

Especial attention of the patrons of Pon's theatre is called this week to the wonderful moving picture drama
 which closes the production, and all are advised to wait through to the nnlsh of the moving pictures, for it is
 well worth while. The film this week Is 'The Battle, a drama of the Civil War. Over 500 men were employed in this picture, stimulating the lines of the Blue and the Gray, and army
 men have declared that 1t is the most perfect representation of a battle scene ever enacted before a biograph. Friday afternoon a spring hat of the very latest Parisian creation will be gwen away to some lucky lady at ture of this hat being the fact that it will te the creation of Erwin Rutan, head of "Rutans Song Birds.'' MT. Rutan is by trade a women's hat designer. He has always had
 strong inclinations for the stage, which
 resulted in his combining his two call-
 ings. He is presenting at Polls this
 week one of the most successful of
 vaudeville acts and inc dentally is placing some of his exclusive millinefy y i models with the local trade.
 MT. Rutan has decided to make a
 lady's hat on the latest Parisian model
 to he offered to some lucky lady in
  each seat emitting the holder to a chance upon it. The hat will be u .3on
 shape from the shop Of Mime. Geor- gette and will be of black facing with
 whi e straw top. trimmed with black Australian plumes.
 On Saturday matinee little Dorothy Edgerton Armstrong, the youngest
 member of the troupe, whose wonder flu. work elicits roars of applause every day, will celebrate 1, her fifth birthday and the performance will be followed hy a reception upon the sta e at which little Miss Armstrong will receive her callers personally and will present each with souvenir photo graph.
 Seats for the remaining perform ances this week are going so rsp'dly that they should be ordered at onre before it is too late. The Hold Up ,. Taylor Granville's scenic produc =
 wh oh leads the bill, has created a sensation and the remainder of the bill supports the headliner with a varied, entertaining and artistic offer ing of vaudeville.
 Some of the acts which are scoring the big hits include: Rutan's Song Birds; Joe Kelsey, singing comed an; the. Mahel Fonda Troure of expert jugglers; Darcey and Williams, sing CTS with personality; Frank and Tru-
 man R R'ce, the talkative tumblers; Phina and her company of pickanniny performers; and Po4i's concert orc les-

Amid all the heartrending, soul eickening facts which have been dredged from the ooze of our econ omic system, one fact has not been sufficiently emphasized and excorlat- ed and that is the Investors respon- sibility for our lowest vice-the eX- ploitation of CHILD LABOR.
 The average New England con- science Is microscopic in development, and adamantine in molecular density l. say New England because the larg- est per cent. of the securities of the Lawrence, Fall River,- Birmingham. and other great mills in New, England and the South is owned by New Eng land investors. 1t is safe to say that nanciers wouldn't yield a single drop of the milk of human kindness-even under hydraulic pressure.
