been successful. For a merely nom- inal sum the society extends to its members a course of lectures given by prominent French scholars, on the subjects of music, art, literature. and the drama. It gives to all students and others interested in the French language and literature, an exception al chance to become familiar with spoken French, because unhappily as it seems to the average American, French does not sound as it looks. The lecturers who have recently ap- peared before the Groupe du Bridge port are in all cases, men high in their professions, sayants, and direct ly from the Universities and Acade- mics of France.

SECRETARY sTIMsoN's "DAwG.r 7

Washington, May 9.-Secretary of War Stimson's ragged, spunky game. fighting bundle of canine grit and muscle, an Airedale terrier, who ac- companies the Secretary to his office each day and is the only dog who has daily access to President Taft's private office, was excluded from the executive office for the first time the other day and deep was his indigna- ton.
 It took considerable ingenuity on the part of the doorkeepers and Stim- son to outwit the terrier. One door tender pussyfooted around and closed the inner door which goes into the office from a rear hall. Then Stim- son slid quickly in by the front .soor and shut it quickly behind him. The dog made a dash around the inner door. but, finding it shut, vented his wrath in succession of loud barks, then lay down in the corridor to wait for his master.
 Once Stimson tried the trick with out closing the rear door first. He had scarcely entered the private of fee when a cannonban of dog hit him squarely on the chest, nearly flooring him.
 Because of his strenuous ways the terrier is known to all White House attaches as "T.. R., and he gladly re- spends to the name, though he prob ably has another.

POPULAR TRIMMINGS.

Quipure embroideries and lace are extensively used as trimmings upon smart afternoon bodices. and even upon the bodices of simple useful dresses. They are disposed in all sorts of ingenious fashions, SO as to smart en up old-style draperies, and to give an air of novelty to the kinona bod ice, which has really begun to fall into disfavor, so general is it's use.
 Some of these trimmings are, detach- able, such as lingerie revers,. turn down and broad collars, and these amusing draperies of tulle, in various shapes, which serve to brighten up the plalnest blouse. Others, again. form part of the corsage, of the guimpe, the vest or the sleeves.
 and they cannot be used indiscrimin- ately by all people. For example, broad collar glimpe or material has the effect of broadening narrow shoul- ders, but. to have it absolutely be- coming, it. is necessary to have slop- ing shoulders and a long neck. On the other hand, those of stouter build are better without falling collar and with tiny jabot of fluffy tulle. little vest with smart buttons. etc. s One sided revers of lace are again exceedingly fashionable, as of course are jabots. For those whose figure will stand it, a big full jabot, which they call the Robespierre jabot, is the most chic at present. This comes right across the front of the bodice with cascade of lace falling right down the centre of 1t leaving two. flat revers on each side. This model. however, is only pretty when made. of very light lace or delicate tulle. It would be too bulky in lingerie.
 Plastrons of tulle or lingerie are al- so extensively used: indeed they are almost necessary upon all the per vading taffetas in order to tone down the somewhat hard appearance of this material. Some of these yokes come right down to the waist front and back and become in a sense a partial yelling over a colored blouse. This of course, permits of great variety. For all these ornaments tulle is the fashionable material at present, plain tulle worked in little pleats. and with the hem attached to the rest by a lace insertion.
 There are also many loose hanging ties attached to the collar, and little circular ruched collars with or with out hanging ends.

AT THE LYRIC

The Gplendid success which has at tended the efforts of the Frank Car peuter Stock company this week in '.When Knighthood Was in Flower" continues, each performance being at tended by audiences which fill the theatre to the limit of it's capacity. Tho audiences have all been exceed tngly enthusiastic, pronouncing Thts the finest offering of the entire sea- son, and Miss Cleveland and her as- sociates in the finest stock company ever seen in Bridgeport are accorded all manner of encouragement and
 when Knighthood Was in Flower" is all that Is claimed for 1t as a pop ular entertafner The play is dra- matic. excellently told. and the par ticipants in the cast are without ex- ception fully adequate to the task of presenting so fine an offering. Miss Cleveland is making the hit, of the season as the capricious little tease Mary Tudor, and she has splendid sup port. The scenic features of the pro auction are masnif1cently complete. and any seen in this city in a long time.
 There has been a splendid sale of seats for the entire week, which all ready promises to be fully as suc- cessful as any which the Carpenter company has yet experienced, And that Is saying 8 good deal. for the success of the company has been very marked, and exceedingly gratifying, al- though richly deserved.
 Margaret Anglin's splendid comedy succeD, Green Stockings,' will be the offering for next week, for the first time in this city by a. stock company. The magnificent showing by the mem bers of the Carpenter cast in the past fs an assurance that this attraction will be given in a. manner to give the company full credit, and to provide still another splendid treat, only one more of the long list which is to the company's credit.
 In Green Stockings, Miss Cleve- land and all the principals. of the com pany will be especially we'll cast, and will all have another opportunity to demonstrate their proficiency in the performance of the latest and best in their respective lines. Miss Anglin has created an immense success in this play, and Mr. Carpenters enterprise in securing it thus early for the To- cal public, even before it's career in the big cities is at an end, is to be warmly commended.
 The sale of seats for Green Stock fngs', is now progressing and the de- mand already assures big audiences for the entire week The Bridgeport public has come to depend upon Mr. Carpenters word when he promises to give them the very finest plays, and they also know that the dramatic and scenic productions will be of the very finest quality,

POLI's

Theatrical entertainments are Amer lca'S favOrfte amusements. Thanks to the demand for good dramatic work, the modern stage production has made immense strides over it's predecessors Of only few years ago; to be suc- cessful to-day 1t must be the best, for the public is discriminating and will have nothing but the first class It was with this idea firmly in mind chat the selection of the personnel of the Poli Players and the list of stock productions which they are to present were made by s. 2. Polls Iieutenants, and Bridgeport is reaping the first benefits this week in the production of that sparkling and delicious com edy, ''Nobody's Widow with the fin est cast that ever played stock in Bridgeport
 Right straight through, the com pany which is now making it's ac- quaintance with the Bridgeport public is SO uniformly good that the exper- fenced theatregOers who have witt messed the first performances have ex- pressed surprise that it has been pes- sible to gather such a company for stock
 | As a matter of fact, the selection of the Poli Players was a matter. of se- curing the cream of stock companies in all parts of the continent and one or two recruits from legitimate pro- auctions. the result being a company of players splendidly equipped artis- tically and fully equal to the heavy tasks assigned them in the interpre- tation of the many important roles in the big productions which are to be given at Polls theatre henceforth.
 Miss Blanche Hall, the leading wo- man. who has made such tremen- dous personal hit at the opening per fOrmance, is a graduate of the Moras- co company at Los Angeles, famed for it's wonderful stock productions. She comes to Bridgeport fresh from a most successful season as "Luana" the native girl, leading role in '"The Bird of Paradise as produced at the Maxine Elliott theatre, in New York
 Miss Hall is fortunate in having such a brilliant role assigned to her in the initial production. enabling her as it does to exhibit the most artistic yer satility and the most captivating side of her genius.
 As Roxana Clayton, the dashing American girl who is a self-made wid- ow-for a time-until she sufficiently punishes her English husband for an imaginary fault-she is by turns, will full. capricious, loving gentle, a terma1 gent and an adorable young woman throwing herself into the. spirit of Avery Hopwood's clever creation. The play is one of the brightest and catchiest of modern comedies, and those who see the performance at Polfs this week and enjoy the many witty lines and Imaginable situations will understand the great success which has greeted and is greeting this production, still playing in the orig inal company and now shown here for the first time in stock.

Odessa May 9.-The recent epi- demic of suicides among school boys and girls is ascribed by investigators generally to the rigor of term exami- nations. and the setting back fer a year of those who fail in two or more branches.
