POLI'S THEATRE

Sherlock HoImes'' which the Wash Ington-Brfdgeport Poli Players are please ana interest exceedingly large
 audiences The play was adapted from the world famous detective stor- ies oe Sir A Conan Doyle and was Gillette for three consecutive seasons being unusually successfully both in this country and abroad Sherlock Holmes who was merely 8. figure of imagination, has come ito be looked upon by many as a real human being who really accomplished the remark him. Undoubtedly, to many, the pow CTS of deduction exercised by Holmes seem to be almost impossible. but it is, nevertheless, a well known fact, that the man who inspired in Doyle his famous stories, performed even greater deeds than Doyle tells of Holmes. At first Doyle refused to al- low Sherlock Holmes'' bo be produc- ed on the dramatic stage, but William Gillette after much persuasion and the offer of exceptionally large royalties, s,revaiied upon him to permit it's pres erltation- AS result we have in tse play the most intensely interest ing episodes of the book and all in She space of. four acts. The story deals with the breaking up of one of fine most notorious bands of criminals Chat the great fiction detective had bver his greatest enemy Prof. Mo r4arty, and the breaking up of the gang form one of the naost thrilling cifrnaUes ever seen in a play.

EXCELLENT ADDRESS
 AT WEST END CHURCH

God and law are the two greatest things in the world. Rev. Samuel P. Cadman of Brooklyn, N. r., believes this to be true and in an address on '~The Puritan in Two Worlds before a large congregation in the West End Congregational church, last night, he told why. Dr. Cadn1an spoke at the 18th anniversary exercises of that church which have been in progress since Sunday. His address was an excellent one and very interesting. He contended that the Puritan was the natural outcome of real piety that grew out of the Reformation and the Renaissance and a produce of a scien- taffc law rather than a. providentia1 happening. The world, declared the speaker, is governed by law, which next to God is the greatest thing known about.
 The Puritan was also a, child Of free people with religion as a foun- dalton. The first real test of free democracy is it's religion The speak CT denounced the present day competi- tion between nations to establish big navies and costly battleships which cost enough to found g. university, and yet in ten years time is ready for the scrap heap There is no need of mak- ing the earth a powder magazine.

A PRAcTTcAL LAUNDRY BAG

A laundry bag that is as simple to make it is pretty and practical, certainly has a strong appeal to those who are planning their Christmas lists. Two yards and a quarter of cretonne, full width, is necessary for one of these bags
 First put a hem an inch and a half wide on either end of the cretonne Now fold the cretonne over so that one end is five inches longer than the other. Stitch up the selvedges on the wrong side. Turn the bag inside out and put in a. row of stitching across the folded end, a full inch and g. quar- ter down from the fold, parallel this stitching along the edge between the two rows, so there will be an opening the opening through which brass rod is slipped for hanging up the bag on the door or wall.
 In the hem to the longer end put five buttonholes, having them cut par a1lel with the long sides of the bag. At corresponding places on the other hem place buttons.
 Next, in the shorter side of the bag, equal distant from the edges, cut an opening fourteen inches in length, be- ginning just two inches below the stitching for the rod. The neateSt way of finishing this opening is to bind it with inch-wide ribbon, harmonizing in color with the cretonne; the ribbon may be feather stitched with silk along the outer edge. Put the ribbon on so the material the wrong side, and so extends three-quarters of an inch at least on the right side.
 The advantage a bag of this sort has over most laundry bags is that to remove the contents all that is nec- essary fs to unfasten the buttons at the bottom Of the bag; then the con- tents drop out.

Two-Piece Tailored Suit-Simplicity a Relief-Stands Out in an Over

I don't think any season before, cer- tainly none dn my memory, ever show ed such a really weird variety of styles, with so few actually pleasing features
 It seems though the aim were to attract attention at any hazard. Due gown that makes her resemble a bot tie fly. Her hat suggests the way ward caprice of some ryoungster in landing a feather duster on the back portion. Her high heeled, short vanlp ed shoes would once have been consfd- cred only fit for the carriage or ball room.
 The waist line, after having wander ed 41ither and thtther, has at last set tied into somewhere normal, though even yet many costumes show it freakishly nearing the shoulder blades.
 With all these eccentricfties, it is a decided relief to sec the real old time two-piece tailored suit.

 toward the back and ds lost in a little nestling bunch under the rim, and she is really g. picture to delight the eye. You become wearied of the varied at tempts to get on every last blessed thing that fashion declares to be the thing.
 The general appearance Of these tailored gowns is practically the same as that noted in other seasons. But thereare of course little. touches which proclaim the suit as essentially this years product
 The cutaway for example, is one of these points, also the length, which to be absolutely oorerct should meas ure thirty inches.
 While the skirts are still narrow, there is a, slight tendency. toward a little more freedom of action by fan plaited inserts in many of them.
 This promises revival of the old time plaited skirts. The wise woman will hang on to any she may own, which are in fairly good condition, in stead of trying to have them cut to conform to the narrow, almost seam less cut of the prevailing mode
 It is a world of change. We women appear to be the only things in it that cannot after a lapse of time show up as though we were something new and fresh. Almost any article of wearing apparel, if held 1oug enough, becomes in vogue again.
