KEENEY'S THE PLACE ON MEMORIAL\DAY

Local people seeking entertainment on Memorial day will make no mis- take in paying a visit to Keeney's where a fine holiday bill is to be of fered. The management has ar ranged an excellent program and the bill will, no doubt, give satisfaction to all who attend.
 The new ventilating plant, installed last week, is now in operation and the theater is probably the coolest spot in town. The atmosphere is kept at sixty degrees and the air is constantly changing. If you are look ing for relief from the humidity to- morrow, drop in at Keeney's. If the vaudeville program and motion pictures do not serve to keep you, the cool and refreshing air will make you Toll back in your seat and stay to the finish. You'll enjoy yourself, too.
 One of the most pleasing acts in this weeks show is the singing and dancing specially given by Mond and Sale, pair of female impersona- tors. These young men have a high ly pleasing act. They have remark - ably sweet soprano voices, the qual- ity of which is evidenced in the sev- eral numbers they render. They make most pleasing appearance and experience no difficulty in deceiving the audience. A beautiful plush curtain which they use helps to make their setting effective.
 Sims and his eight honeysuckles entertain with lively song numbers and some good dancing. Edwards, shadowgraphist, has a novel and amusing turn and Lambert and Perry give a juvenile song and converse tiona1 act that pleases.
 The motion picture program for tomorrow will be appropriate for the day. Several patriotic films will be shown.

Costumes of an eccentric type are frequently adopted by women who realize that their best points are brought into prominence by effects which the average woman cannot successfully carry off.
 For instance, not every woman could safely essay a pale coral and black robe dinterieur which serves to bring out the best points of a woman of long line and well-nigh in credible slenderness. A Spanish fiounce in coral satin, with it's up- standing ruffle caught beneath a gar land of black velvet flowers, forms the entire skirt. At the left side it separates above the ankle and sweeps the floor in two black tassel-tipped corners.
 Coral and Black Are Combined.
 The loose bodice in jet-beaded black tulle yelling coral chiffon is rounded at the neck, and drops in straight, loose folds under the top of the skirts flounce, making it strongly resemble an Oriental blouse in all respects save the sleeves, which fit the arms closely to the wrists. No jewels are worn with this gown, but pendant coral earrings re- peat it's coral tone and taffeta quills standing almost at right angles from the coiffure look densely black in contrast with blonde hair.
 Silver, white and yellow mingle in an evening gown of eccentric design. On it's silver brocaded yellow satin skirt are two oddly placed black tulle f1ounces, one of which starting un- der a jet beaded girdle runs toward the other, which falls from under a yellow satin ankle band. The an kle band holds in place flat pleats, which at hips and knees suddenly flare and stand prominently out from the figure. Yellow chiffon folds in an extremely decollette bodice slip over the shoulders on to the tops of the arms and become the founda- tion for spreading sleeve frills of pleated black tulle.
 This black note on an otherwise all- yellow bodice is repeated in patent leather heels and black velvet bows on brocaded slippers. a black jetted corsage rose, black coiffure ai-

Press Agents Tell
 of Theatrical Bills
LYCEUM PLAYERS
 MAY COME BACK

Manager Birch is greatly pleased with the number of requests which have, already been filed signifying a desire to have the Lyceum Players return during the coming season. That the theatergoers have been pleased with the efforts of the man agement to give clean, wholesome, en- tertaining and elevating drama is in dicated in the tone of the corre- spondence which is very large. It is a most difficult matter to select bills that will prove popular with all classes Some of the most eX- pensive of attractions, although staged with all the care and attention that metropolitan productions receive, have not proved financial successes. Man ager Birch has had a most capable company and their efforts have been fully appreciated.
 "The Belle of Richmond" the at traction for next week, is now being rehearsed and the company is taking a special interest in the preparation of the closing bill. With a setting in the southern city and most of the characters of the south most pleas ing atmosphere obtains from the pro- duction. The quaint southern dialect will be used. The popularity of "Man'selle," continues, there being large audiences at every perform 2nCe.

Watch Carefully
 the Child'S Diet
Start Them Off Right With a Good Laxative and Then
 Watch Their Food.

Mothers are often unconsciously very careless about the diet of their children, forcing all to eat the same foods. The fact Is that all foods do not agree alike with different persons Hence. avoid what seems to consti- pate the child and or to give it in- digestion and urge it to take more of what is quickly digested.
 If the child shows a tendency to constipation it should immediately be given a mild laxative to help the bowels. By this is not meant a physic or purgative, for these should never be given to children. nor anything like salts, pills, etc. What the child re- quires is simply a small dose of the gentlest of medicines, such as Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin, which, in the opinion of thousands of watchful mothers, is the ideal remedy for any child showing a tendency to consti- patton. So many things can happen to a constipated child that care is necessary. Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness, and many other annoy ances that children should not have can usually be traced to constipation.
 Many of America's foremost families are never without Syrup Pepsin, be- cause one can never tell when some member of the family may need it, and all can use 1t. Thousands en- dorse it, among them Mrs. M. F.. Pat ten, Valley Junction, Iowa. who is never without it in the house. Mrs.

''The Rose Maid" at Parsons Theater

Adding to their laurels every day by the brilliant and fascinating pre- sentation of The Rose Maid" at Par sons theater, Hartford, this week, the Lyric Players are attracting very large audiences and strengthening their hold on the affections of Hart ford playgoers. The remarka ble standard set during the first week has been more than maintained by the spirited manner in which the dainty operetta is being sung and acted. Florence Webber in the title role is captivating. Next week, the Lyric Players will return to a lively, breezy musical comedy, the kind of. a play that they can master to perfection, as demonstrated by their work in "The Red Mill" The third bill is to be Robert B. Smiths Americans Cor sican jollity, "A Knight For Day." a highly gaiety that will prove a delicious morsel for hot weather amusement mastication.

While not always establish ing a permanent cure, yet in every in- stance it instantly stops the agonizing itching; subdues the irritation and heals the inf1amed, raw skin right up and it is often years later before any FC zema eruption again appears.
 Those troubled should obtain from any good pharmacist an ounce of bold-sulphur cream and apply it di- rectly upon the abrasion like an or dinary cold cream. It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome.

 Careful Use of Plaid. Only decidedly slender woman could wear d model developed in black, green, blue and white plaid. The skirt, closely swathed from knees to ankles, twists across the front of the figure from left to right, and is most voluminous at the base of the hips. The fronts of the jacket, which cross at the bust, run into the side seams at the waist line and then down over the tops of a bias-cut peplum, which lies in folds about the hips and falls to a point at back. Contrasted with the narrowest of mousquetaire sleeves, the neck ruche in blue-grounded black net seems enormously wide and full. Despite the extreme character of it's drapings, it's ruche and it's sleeves, this plaid suit is modish and has been greatly admired.

 startling details of the dark blue soutache-striped coat of white serge suit. Short strands of the braid run diagonally partly across the widely turned-b back fronts, simu- lating revers on it's shoulder wide collar. Not an inch of soutache, however, is on the skirt, the scanty ! width of which is drawn forward and upward to fall in folds which are caught in for several inches below the waist line.
 Chinese Hat With Red and White. The blue aigrette- trimmed straw toque and the heavily patterned lace veil worn with this costume are not ] eccentric-looking when compared with a bridle-fastened bowl-shaped black straw Chinese hat worn by q young girl above a red striped white serge jacket. The stripes run diag- onally on the back and crossed fronts, and horizontally on the white linen covered ball buttons trimming the wide sleeves and enormously wide pockets which cover the hips.

Patten says that Syrup Pepsin has done wonders for her boy Ralph, who was constipated from birth but is now doing fine. Naturally she is enthusi- astic about it and wants other mothers to use it. Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pep sin is sold by druggists at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle. the latter size being bought by those who al- ready know its value, and it contains approximately more.
 Everyone like Syrup Pepsin as it is very pleasant to the taste. It is also mild and non-griping and free from injurious ingredients

Household Notes

When cleaning with gasoline stand the gasoline bottle in a basin of hot water until the gasoline is warm.

 water until the gasoline is warm. A strong solution of borax and hot water poured down the sinks and | drains will rid them of any offensive odor.
 There is no economy in buying | small pieces of ice. Know the size of your ice box and buy a piece to fill it. Do not clean shoes too often. Sometimes they only require rubbing up. Do this with a pad made of old velvet.
 Acid fruits should never be prepared with a steel knife. The best prepar- ing tools are nickel or silver knives When making hot starch always use soapy water, as it gives the neces- sary shine to linens, and the irons will not stick.
 Iron the button side of waist in & folded bath towel. buttons turned downward. It will prevent them from breaking.
 When serving hot bread or pastry of any kind, use hot plates. The most delicious pastry can become soggy when served on cold plates. Kerosene will do the work of any ot the cleansers placed on the market and is much less expensive. It is ex- cellent for cleaning the tub and til- ing in the bathroom and equally good 1 for the oiled floors. Curtains or stair linens to be | washed should be laid in cold water. | then Wrung from the cold water and placed in very hot water, in which a goodly allowance of kerosene has been | poured.
 After cleaning brass or nickel plated bells or doorknobs, rub them ! over with a little vaseline with a woolen cloth. This will keep them bright for long time.
 A lump of soda dissolved in a little hot water and added to the bluing water on wash day. prevents the bluing from settling in the clothes and makes them perfectly white.
 The top crust of pie may be inn proved by brushing over with water and then sprinkling with granulated sugar. This improves the appearance l and makes it brown and crisp.
 When filling cracks in the wall with plaster of paris the plaster will not set so quickly if one part flour is l added to three parts of the dry plas- ter. Thoroughly mix this before wet l ting.
 Some of the edible wild vegetables are the following: Dandelion greens, pokeweed tops, lambs quarters, other wise known as pigweed; the leaves and buds Of the cowslip or marsh marigold, and the garden pest known as purslane.
 | If we would save time and work, we should follow the example of the Japanese and eliminate all useless ! things in the house. A profusion of things in the room detracts from the | feeling of space and makes endless care and dusting necessary. At this time of year it is good | idea to look over the old blankets and cut out the best parts of those that are the most worn. These pieces wash and sew together to make the desired thickness. Then cover with silkoline or satin; they make splendid l warm covers. l When cleaning the store room it is a convenience to have a lead pencil | tied to a string which is tied around
