LETTER FROM W.T.. KEYES
Pomona, Cal, Aug. %, 1914,

Pomona, Cal, Aug. %, 1914.
Dear Parents:-
Home again and very much wiser
for my trip. L went UP as far as
Portland, Oregon, and saw some very
good country; some places l would
like to live. The country generally
is dead nothing doing. The sawmills
and other manufacturing establish
ments are all shutting down and
there are thousands of men out of
work and can't get it. I think my
trip a great benefit to me, as I
have longed to see that contry for
a great many years. l find there is
no desirable land for homesteads ex-
cept when the government opens up
an Indian reservation or something
like that Generally speaking, land
on the coast is very high. l hold
that a man could go back to the
middle west and beat them for price
and get more out of it. l went up by
rail through the best part OF the
country and came back by boat. We
had a very nice voyage, the sea
was very smooth. We had a time
sight seeing men of war and looking
for whales, sharks and other sea
fish. We saw five whales, a sword
fish and a good many flying fish
The boat I came over on is one OF
the largest vessels on the coast.
The folks are all well. Mae is doing
her homework; Lillian is sleeping,
and l am writing. We received your
letter the 23d inst, yesterday, and
as 1 am not working and had not
written Sunday, l thought I would
answer this A NJ.
Your loving son,
W. F. KEYES

Who WANTS
THESE BOWlERS?

Quite a shock was handed to the
spectators at the west side bowling
alley Labor Day. A. H. Voss was the
cause of the sensation. Being Labor
Day A H. thought he would work
a little. Well he went after the pins
and actually succeeded in rolling
279 Captains of prospective bowling
teams for the fall and winter champ
ionship scrap when they heard of it,
were breaking their necks to sign
A. H. up for the season. But along
comes the famous Spike and he roll
ed up a little bunch of 281 which
untenous score made A H. s look
like little Hill Worse and more
of 1.-THE business managers of the
various teams were trying 10 get
options and waivers on this famous
pin pusher. But, why all this ex-
element when it took the momen-
tarily famous A. H and Spike two
games to get the respective scores?
Who wants these boWlers? Raus nit
'em.

THEATER PARTIES
 TO SEE LYCEUM PLAY

Several theater parties are being arranged to attend the presentation or lover Night" at the Lyceum during the next week. There is wealth or incidents in this whirlwind comedy that was so popular on Broadway ana in the principal theatrical centers of the country during the past season. There is rich flavor to the run of comedy and the story is very interest ing. The incidents, many ef them, are actual occurrences written in a most entertaining way.
 The Ninety and Nine" is proving a most popular bill this week. The scenic effects are the most stupen- dous that the Players have shown. There is fine realism to the thrilling scene in the third act when Tom Silverton'' (Mr. Cross) takes the pri- yate train of the "Beveriges" and makes the run to Marlow in answer to their appeal for help. In taking charge of the train he leaves himself open to the exposure that he is the man wanted for a murder in New York. The circumstances surround ing the murder are eventually cleared and 'Silverton" is exonerated.
 The tickets are now on sale for the remaining performances of this week and the advance demand indicates large audiences.

TICKETS SELLING
 FAST FOR CONCERT

Tickets are selling fast for the third annual concert of the Catholic Choral Union which is to be presented at the Lyceum, Sunday evening, and those who plan to attend and have not secured tickets should do so at once.
 The chorus of seventy-five people has worked hard and has prepared a finished and highly artistic program. Conductor Harmon has used good judgment in selecting for the prin- cipal part of the program Hayden g celebrated Mass No. in c, for it was in the form of the mass that the old masters left their best works, the results of their greatest inspirations Those not familiar with this beauti- full form of music should not miss Sunday evenings concert.
 The quartette and solo work of the mass will be sung by Marie Stoddart of New York, soprano; Jane Clark of Hartford, contralto; William J.. Car rof of Hartford, tenor; and Thomas E. Clifford of Boston, baritone.

NEW MOTION PICTURE
 AT KEENEYS THEATER

Succeeding the Pathe weekly as the Monday and Tuesday night feature of Keeney's show, the management today arranged for the HeaTst-Selig service, which recently came into considerable prominence for its remarkable depict ing of current events. This service is said to be as good if not better. than the Pathe and it is expected that it will be one of the most popular features of the motion picture pro- gram. The Pathe people hereafter will make but one reel each week and it will be released on Wednesdays in- stead of Mondays. Arrangements have been made to show 1t here on that day, both afternoon and evening.
 The introduction of dummies in the act of New and Ellrid, "the Yappank gnardsmen,' gives the big opportuni- ties for comedy in this entertaining speciality and it is. the inanimate objects that make theturn a big hit. While the pair shows ability in doing the usual tumb1ing stunts it is the amusing. feats performed with the dummies that find the greatest favor with the audience.
 Probably one of the most popular rum bers on the program is the banjo act of Collier and the Clifton sisters This trio plays number of the latest rags and popular dance tunes and en- tertains in such a fashion that even after encores the audience IS loath to have it give way to the following act. The limitations given by the male member of the trio are very funny.
 Miss Florence Talbot continues to win applause for her rendition of popular selections. She sings them all in an original manner and her person ality and attractive presence ard her str ongest points for popularity bids.
 The Three Harveys provide a. game of basketball, c1everly played on bi- cycles, as the principal attraction. It is big novelty and is both exciting and entertaining. Groves and Coe appear in musical speciality that finds favor every day.

variably asked of any woman in the public eye. I do not wish to be drawn into political argument Therein lies the answer to the ques- tion. As to John Drew and Lillian Russell Lillian Russell admits that she was born in 1861, and I am not prepared to question her statement. was not there.

 Should a girl use perfumery ?' asks a correspondent.
 It is not the use but the misuse of perfumery that is objectionable. The pleasant, but it's reckless use is strongly to be condemned. It is un- pleasant to others. and every girl SuOulu learn to De COHSlueIdte. ID use a cheap, or strong perfume. is unrefined, and often creates a false impression about the user. I do not recommend any special brand of per- fumery. There are many delicate perfumes to be obtained, but if you wish to distill you own, the following formula has proven satisfactory:
 Two gills each of triple and double extract of rose, six ounces of orange flower water, six ounces double ex- tract of tuberose, six ounces of orris root, and three ounces each of tinc- 'ture of civet and oil of rhodium. A pure extract of violet, which is the best perfume if you do not choose to individualize, Is made by mingling a pound of violet oil with quart of de- odorized alcohol.

Garments Which Greatly
 Improve a Lady's Wardrobe
They Include Gowns and Wraps There Should Be Slip pers to Match and Smart Models Can Be Ob-
 tained in all Colors.

they were last year, they are far less expensive. A very good looking pair of pins is demi-blond shell, with. a hinged rhinestone top. The hinged top is an extremely good feature, as it. is made so that the pin may be turned in the hair to give the new effect.
 Another good looking ornament is a metal hairpin with a thickly set rhinestone top in which the pin is shaped to take firm hold uupon the hair.
 Evening Slippers.
 Evening dress must have slippers to match. One very good shop has smart models in all coIors and sizes. The plain slippers can be had, and rhinestone buckles may be used to give the slippers theadrled touch of trimming they need.
 Silk underskirts are nice to wear at all times, but especially in the even ing with the low dresses. They come in Italian silk in all colors.
 The twenty-four button gloves are usually used with evening dress. One shop is showing beautifully made model of an excellent quality of kid.
 A Light Dancing Wrap.
 An attractive addition to ones wardrobe is the becoming tuIle scarf to throw over the shoulders The ends may be caught at the wrist by little bracelet of narrow ribbon to match the color of the tulle wrap, which gives a graceful line when dancing. The scarf requires only two yards of waterproof tulle. These tul1eS come in all colors.

Tn undertaking the editing and writing of a weekly column in the Herald I am none too sure of the ground I stand on. There are sev- eral reasons why have assumed the responsibility of keeping the good people of New Britain we'll posted on matters theatrical. I accepted the proffer of the editor of the Herald because it is my wish to keep the people of New Britain as my friends, and it gives me great pleasure to do anything that will further that friend ship.
 When a woman is in public life she is a public character, and owes much to those who help to make her career success. If, through this depart ment, can show my appreciation and well wishes to my friends or contribute to their pleasure and hap piness I wish to do it. I cannot al- ways reply to personal letters writ ten to me, because of lack of time. It is almost beyond the imagination of the layman to conceive of the time spent in study and rehearsal for a new play. Then in the short re- maining time one must buy clothes so dS u uISSS tHS part SuildDIy My present wardrobe would hard ly supply suitable clothes for a play set in the time of Shakespeare. And 1t is none too easy to costume some of the plays that come my way.
 Thanks to the opportunity offered, the letters may be more easily an swered through these columns. Any letter asking a question which I am in position to answer may be dropped into the box in the Russwin Lyceum lobby, addressed to me, and will answer it as soon as possible. The queries that come in are amusing at times. For instance, one girl wants to know how old John Drew is; an- other asks the. age of Lillian Russell: still another, Are you suffragette ?''
 That suffragette question is in
