Gossip and Its Results.

What great wrongs have the re-
suit of gossip! What great interna-
tional controversies have arisen over
gossip! And yet a good share of the
people in this old world of ours un-
consciously gossip most of the time.
Everyone knows to what an immense
proportion small story may grow
when it is handed from tongue to
tongue.
Parents, attention. 1t should be
the training of every child to be cor
rect in all of his statements. To al
low child to exaggerate is one of
the greatest evils that could be thrust
upon him. EXaggeration is habit,
but habit that is easy to overthrow.
When one is telling story they
naturally want to make it appear as
interesting as possible to the listener.
Embellishments are added, and, if
the story is a small scandal about
some person, it may grow to alarm
ing proportions and injure the repu-
tation of the person concerned. 1t
is a bad trait, trait that is consid-
cred by an employer when hiring
men, and trait that may cast a
shadow on that persons life, let
alone the other people he has con-
veyed the wrong idea about.
Children should be made to be ac-
curate to the smallest degree. A
child, in telling some incident in play,
should not be allowed to embellish
his adventure, for by doing so he is
only laying the foundations for worse
eXaggerations.
Gossip is especially prevalent, it
seems, in girls and boys about the
high school age. They are especially
addicted to conversation about some
other member or some person who
is not a member OF their bunch. A
mother who notices that her daughter
is inclined to gossip should have a
heart to heart talk with her immedi-
ately, and explain how it lowers her
standing, both to others and to her
self. A. G.

. THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
MEN AND WOMEN NEVER GET THE SAME POINT OF VIE

'paper Enterprise Association.)
She thinks that this is the worst
thing that has ever happened in her
family. To get into the newspapers
as brawling in a barber shop is the
last word in disgrace. Her sons can
get drunk and abuse their wives if
they wish, so long as it does not get
into the newspapers.
Poor womani l wonder what she
would have done if the whole at
tempt at blackmail had gotten into
the press.
am awfully glad for her sake, as
well as all the rest of US, that it did
not.
Just after Mother Waverly tele-
phoned me the bell rang again and
Bill Tenney called up: Say, Mrs.
Waverly, congratulate that Jim JEFF
fries husband of yours. l did not
know it was in him, but 1 am glad
that cad McCauley got. for once,
what was coming to him.

How differently mn look at GER

Mother Waverly thinks disgraceful
Dicks men friends consider "a feath-
er in his cap" and after that NEAR
confession that Dick made me last
night 1 can see that every man con-
siders that it is his inalienable right
to make love and fight when the
spirit moves him. Down deep in his
heart is also the sleeping conviction
that if he does not do these upon the
occasion that seems to call for them
his manhood is impugned.
If what Dick told me last night
were true of other men as well as
himself, we women may as well make
up our minds that men can desire
without loving, while we must al
ways love to desire.

STORY OF SQUATTERS
 IN FOX PICTURES

Motion picture productions that have created sensations for their masterful stories and excellent acting are now being shown at Fox's theater, and the New Britain theatergoers
 realizing their merit, have responded heartily and are these days crowdlng Fox's to the very capacity. For to- day and tomorrow Americas fore most screen artist, Mary Pickford, will be seen in the famous tale of a wom- ans unconquerable faith, 'Tess of the Storm Country which is produced by the Famous Players Film com- pany and the story of which follows:
 Tessibel Skinner a wild, mother less little elf, lives with her father in a rude hut on the shore of Cayuga Lake. On account of the sudden and regular squalls on the lake the vicin- ity is called the Storm Country" while the poor and ignorant fisher- folk thereabout are generally known as 'SQuatterS. Tess is one of these people, and adores her uncouth fath- CT, who lives by poaching and the il- legal netting of fish. One day he is found near the body of a murdered game-keeper, with rifle close by, containing one empty chamber. Skin- ner is accused of the murder and con- victed on circumstantial evidence Tess is frantic with grief and anxiety, but Frederick Graves, a handsome theological student, and his sister Teola, befriend Tess. Frederick tells her of God, of whom she has never heard, and His written word, the Bible, and bids her pray and have faith Tess steals a Bible from the mission house and painfully spells out the lessons taught her by Frederick.

SOME FINE PICTURES
 ON KEENEY'S BILL

A big audience enjoyed the war pictures as presented by Pathe's Weekly at Keeney's theater last even- ing and they were delighted with the fine vaudeville bill which is being presented there this week. Ii is sel- dom that there is such merit torious act on a bill as that of the flying acrobats They seem to be able to do everything in, the acrobatic line and the rapidity with which they per- form their various stunts gives the act humorous coloring which the audi ence likes and adds to the applause when the company leaves the stage. The act will remain on the bill this evening and tomorrow evening and those who fail to see it will miss one of the best vaudeville acts on the circuit.
 The little sketch entitled, ~'The Grafter,' is taking we'll There has been so much talk of graft in public places of late that people like to see what grafter looks like and in this case Ernest Carr, who admits his guilt, has some fun out of the admission. It is neat bit of work and is nicely worked out by Mr. Carr and company. White and White continue their fine dancing speciality, Claude Austin does his skilful jug gling act and the Levy family pre- sent their musical act which has

munity, intercedes for her and secures a new trial for her father. Tess ana Frederick meet again, and one day as they stand in the squalid hut, looking into each others eyes, Tess innocent ly receives her first kiss of love. Elder Elias Graves, Frederick's fath- CT, a religious but bigoted and narrow man, the relentless enemy of the squatters does his best to secure the conviction of Tess's father. Teola Graves is betrothed to Dan Jordan, who perishes in a fire, and leaves Teola worse than a widow. Teo1a does not dare tell her proud, harsh father of her pitiful plight. Tess hears her weeping one day in the woods, and takes her to the hut, shel tering her there, when her babe Is born. To shield Teola, Tess takes the child and care for it. Frederick finds the baby there on one of his calls, and circumstances force him to believe it is Tess baby. Rather than expose and disgrace his sister, who is now very i'll, Tess allows him to believe the child hers, and he denounces her as a worthless woman, taking her Bible from her. Her father is still in prison, Frederick avoids her, the other squatters comment openly on her fall, and one of the fishermen persecutes and insults her. At last, in a tragically dramatic scene, Elder Graves publicly denounces Tess and the fatherless babe. she holds to her breast. But Teola, reused by her fathers denunciation of Tess, can re- main silent no longer and now comes forward and in the presence of the big assemblage takes her baby in her arms and claims it as her own. The mystery is then cleared up.
 Besides this great dramatic produc- tion four single comedy reels will augment the highly interesting and diversified program.

hemstitched friIl. The hemstitched frill is at the side of the vestee, which is fastened down the front, while make believe buttonholes further adorn it.
 Of the many popular materials the material chosen for this hand em- broidered vestee is organdy. Unusual ly pretty is the embroidered high roll ing collar.

WITH ROUND OR SQUARE COLLAR.

Peplums are just as much used upon morning jackets as they are upon blouscs.
 This one is one of the newest and prettiest to have appeared. The sleeves that are cut in kimono style can be finished at the elbow or at the wrists with deep cuffs, and the neck can be edged with banding or finished with collar. Nothing could be simpler or easier to make, yet the effect is attractive in the extreme. All sorts of seasonable materials arc appropriate, but this jacket is made from lowered batiste with bands of plain white piped with color to match the flower design. The peplum is circular with inverted plaits at the back that are pretty and effective. The tucks over the shoulders mean good lines and becoming fullness at the front. The collar can be made round or square at the back.
 For the medium size will be required bH yards of material 77, 5 yards 3o, 27 yards A inches wide with sS yard a7 for the banding, 1s yard for the piping.

The dress that closes at the front is favorite one of the season and has many
 advantages. It is easy to slip on and of if is smart in effect and it is generally becoming. This one includes the peasant sleeves that are so much liked and is finished with pretty round collar and cuffs. In the illustration, it is made of striped linen with collar and cuffs of plain. but the model will be found an excellent one for all the simpler seasonable ma terials with collar and cuff of any con- trasting one that makes a good effect. Plain colored linen or chambray with collar and cuffs of white would make both a fashionable and a pretty frock. Figured material could be used through. put, with collar and cuffs braided or embroidered. -...
 The dress consists of the blouse and the skirt. The blouse is made with front and pack portions and includes only shoulder and under-arm seams. The skirt is made "a three pieces and plaited.

The important role played in the ensemble of the costume by the fin- ishing of the neck is recognized by all we'll dressed women. If to the plain waist is added q smart collar, and possibly a frill, the entire ap- pearance is transformed.
 The separate collar which may be worn with a plain waist, fits snugly to the neck. It is of plaited organdie, hemstitched, and finished by a picot edging of black. In the front the col lar is wired and falls a little away from the neck. At the. bottom of the collar there are black moire band and bow.
 Embroidered Net Vestee.
 The vestee and guimpe are going to be very much used this autumn in ma = terials such as tucked Organdie and lace. A very attractive vestee is of embroidered net lace, cut with a high rolling collar and finished at the base of the collar by black moire band and bow.
 Stiff linen collars and cuffs will con- tinue in their popularity this autumn.
 A novel vestee is of striped chiffon in blue on a white background. It is made with high-roIIing white chif- ion collar that fits well around the neck. The vestee is fastened in front by pearl buttons.
 Revival of Side Frill.
 The return of the side frill, that was so much in vogue five years ago, combined with the high frill, is a new feature of this season. Te ma terial of this vestee is or organdie, finished at the neck with a double
