DRAMATIC SKETCH
 GOOD AT KEENEY'S

l Joseph Adelman and company in ] '"The Pastor and the Burglar" dra- 1 matic sketch with big possibilities, are this week winning over the 1 Keeney patrons to this form of en- tertainment. Not in long time have l they witne essed a dramatic playlet of any special merit and consequently the 1 attraction this week finds great favor l with the4s~~> The story is cleverly l tol&> and the climax is worked up to in ldgfeaf fashion. MT. Adelman plays the part of the pastor to per-

 In 'The Girl Behind the Counter"
 8 condensed version of Weber and
 Fields great musical comedy of the
 same name, the Fields Brothers
 Stock company, offers probably the
 most meritorious speciality in its rep
 ertoire. It is a most amusing piece.
 The dialogue is very funny and there
 are bushels of laughs while the com
 pany holds forth. The Fields acquit
 themselves with credit while Harry
 Jackson and the There Shaws con-
 tinue to impress the audience favor
 ably. This is the last week of the
 companys engagement in this city.
 The Fields and their supporters will go to Buffalo next week for an in definite stay.
 The posing of Lucille Savoy, the Partisan sensation, is another feature of the show that goes big. This dainty little comedienne does some mighty artistic work. She is fair of face and figure and her delightful singing com bined with ravishing poses makes her act one of the most delightful novelties that has been seen here in a long time.
 The Nelson trio opens the show with 8 novel song and acrobatic turn and Jeanette Homer, singing come dienne, pleases with program of de- lightfui numbers.

THE TIGRESS" IS AT
 FOX THEATER TODAY

Today ushers in the weekly double attractions that of a celebrated star who was lured into the realm of mo- tlon pictures in a big Broadway suc- cess and the latest chapter of that eX- tfaordlnary serial motion picture story that New Britain theatePgoerS are following so closely. Today's big feature photo-play is the first and only screen work of that brilliant dramatic actress Madame Olga Pe- trova in the dramatic sensation "The Tlgress,' dramatized into five reels of motion pictures from Ramsay Morris international drama of romance and intrigue. The early action of the play Is laid in Russia while the latter parts are acted in America. and that it will surpass in dramatic excellence any photo-drama offered this season can only be gained by the many excellent reports received from the various theatres in which it has so far been shown.
 The selection of Olga Petrova in the leading role is a guarantee of a faith ful and accurate screen portrayal of the mother whose supreme emotion of her life was the love of her baby. but when motherhood was forgotten she lived only for revenge, becoming a "Tigress." Tense, highly dramatic, with an abundance of heart interest that holds one riveted during the progress of the story
 In conjunction with The Tigress" the tenth and very latest episode of
 The Exploits of Elaine" will also be shown. As the various episodes ara shown on the screen and the audience see the many scientific methods "Tha Clutching Hand". uses to destroy his enemies one wonders what is coming next. Still the resourcefulness of Craig Kennedy is startling, and it is only question of time before he will lay his hands on this master criminal and all will know when the mask is removed, who ''The Clutching Hand" is.

"ST. ELMO" AT POLTS
 VERY SUCCESSFUL

The success attending the presen- tation of ''St. Elmo" in which the Hartford Poli Players are appearing this week, is in keeping with the pop ularity of Mrs. Augusta J. Evans fa- nous book. The story follows close ly that of the book and holds in- terest from start to finish. The scenes of the play are laid in the foothills of the Lookout Mountains in Tennessee. The one break in the continuity of the story is an inter- val of five years, which is supposed to elapse between the first act which is practically a prologue, and the second act.
 The curtain rises on Aaron Hunt s blacksmith shop near Chattanooga, but the peaceful scene with the changing anvil mingling with the morning song of birds, is disturbed by an angry gentleman" seeking satisfaction &C., cording to the code duello. Edna Tarl the little granddaughter of the blacksmith comes to the scene in time to witness a duel in which St. Elmo Murray kills Murray Hammond, son of the venerable minister.

 Striped Suits Have Lines of Yellow
 Facing
 Certain of the black and white striped suits carry delicate lines of yellow in the facings of their collars and cuffs, mingled with the black em- broideries which are on jackets of the jauntier order or blended with the braided panels extended part way down the sides of the skirts It is a repetition of the white gabardine frock's combination of tones but as the proportion of black in the striped suits is so much greater, the yellow touches may safely be used in various places.
 Were it not subdued by black en- broidery of bold design, too daring by far would be the vivid yellow cloth collar on the jacket of a suit in navy blue gabardine, a shade with which a pale golden tone does not blend happily. The collar, high at the back, rolls from the sides and runs to sharp little points on the shoulders of a box jacket-very military it is-with it's fronts incrusted with a bold design in black handwork. Similar embroideries cover the sleeves between wrists and elbows and extend half way down the double box-pleated sides of the ex- ceedingly full skirt.
 Something like this model has been shown in white, blue and gold. The skirt of white cloth is untrimmed, while the jacket in darkest blue, is elaborately embroidered with gold thread. The costume was evidently designed for yachtswoman, at the country club of smart seaside resort, and it would not be conspicuous save for it's unusual smartness.

Yellow is to be found upon many of the costumes now being shown at the spring openings of the importers. Few of the frocks and suits are en- tlrely of this shade, but many of them, particularly those of the tailored order, are attractively touched with it.
 Very slight touches they are, too, and always applied unexpectedly-as a faint line coming against a piping of deeper color, or in threads minglin g unobtrusively with embroideries, or as facing. A clever scheme is the use of yellow for the reverse side of a girdle where it can reveal itself only when the ends of the narrow sash are futtered by the air.
 Silk Gabardinc Frocl1 a Wardrobe
 Necessity.
 This unexpected touch is cleverly applied to a frock of the sort which every girl who knows it's value orders for her early spring wardrobe. This is the white silk gabardine convenient to have at hand for luncheons, after noon parties, matinees and church weddings. About an openwork silk gabardine blouse whose white braided military strapped fronts continue over the hips to the deep yoke ot which a plain, wide skirt is gathered, there is nothing remarkable. But there is an oddly attractive note about the wide black velvet and white satin striped ribbon girdle indicating it's waist line, and a second glance convinces one that the attractive touch is the yellow satin lining of the girdle's long ends. Scintillas of yellow might have been introduced in the lines of buttons, fower-crocheted, fastening the fronts of the blouse, running up the back of it's sleeves from wrist to elbows, and wandering down it's side forms to the

Last of all, add one or two tablespoonfuls ta of Parmesan cheese, according to taste. Season with salt and pepper, pour over spaghetti and serve. The sauce can be made while the spaghetti is boiling, and if ready beforehand put over hot water to keep heated It should be poured over the spaghetti as soon as that is drained from the water. Put the spaghetti on a dish and as the sauce is poured over it lift the spaghetti with a fork that the sauce may penetrate every part

Open and Closed Cars.

The public utilities commission has
just made ruling that will undoubt-
edly tend to lessen street car con-
gestion next summer. Under this
rule, when warm weather causes the
change from closed to open cars
every closed car that is withdrawn
must be replaced by an open car.
In other words, the difference in seat
ing capacity between the two types
of cars must not be taken into ac-
count by the companies. With the
"car for car" principle in operation
there will be no arrangement OF
schedules. If the open cars seat more
than the closed cars there will, I'M
less the traffic increases, be more
seats for the patrons, and that is al
ways desirable from the patrons
point of view. There is no public
support of the principle animatihs the
average street railway management
that standing room is good return
for the fare. If the dividends are
paid by the straps" the PUBLIC is apt
to believe that the dividends are
based upon too high a capitalization.
The nearer the street railway sys-
tenn is brought to the basis of a seat
for fare the better the public will
be served. 1t is, of course, recog-
nized that. at certain times this
standard is impossible, short of seri-
Gus delays in the moving of the traf-
hc. The new rule, however, will
serve to prevent unnecessary conges-
ton at a time when street car rid
ing is likely to be heaviest.

The Yearly Admonition.

The merchants of Washington are
already urging the Christmas buyers
to begin their purchases without de-
lay. Although it is FIVE weeks to
Christmas it is good season for start
ing the movement toward the shops.
The days slip by rapidly, and the days
grow quickly into weeks and pro-
crastination brings the holiday sea-
son with speed. just now the tend
ency is to postpone shopping ex-
peditions till next week." Then, pers
haps, nearer Christmas, the postpone
ment will be till tomorrow" This
"manana" habit is what causes the
congestion at Christmas time, a con-
gestion that is distressing to shop
pers and imposes'a cruel burden on
store workers.
There are reasons for early shop
ping familiar to everybody, but ap-
parentiy they need to be restated
every year. 1t behooves the buyer
of holiday goods to be prompt for his
own sake, because by going into the

anywhere. Heretofore they have
agreed about leading measures, and
have not crossed swords with each
other. Now that they have dis
agreed, and about a most important
measure, there should be a duel
worth the while of all spectators.
The suggestion that at the coming
session Mr.. Clark may appear ottener
in debate than in the last Congress
is welcome. Under the new order
imposed on the House by the demo-
Gratis it has seemed waste of good
material to put the most attractive
and effective orator in the chamber
in the Speakers chair, and set him
the small task of rapping for order
and submitting motions of members.
As a member of the House Mr..
Clark is entitled to his say, and
whenever occasion appeals to him
should descend from the chair and
indulge himself. His twenty-odd
years in legislative Office have made
him a ripe and full man on many
subjects; and some of them are
coming up for consideration and ac-
ton at a time when, with a presi-
dental campaign approaching, his
party will need the activity of all
its ablest members.

Clark and Kitchin.

Mr. Clark's call at the White Hous e
at the Presidents invitation recalls
some interesting history, and en-
phasizes the Importance of some his
tory now in the making. Mr.. Bryan
tgures IN both. He executed the
maneuver at Baltimore which made
Mr.. Wilson President, and he is the
author of the embarrassment which
has made it necessary for the
President to appeal to Mr.. Clark to
save the day in the House for pre-
paredness.
1t is no disrespect to Mr.. Kitchin
to say that he will not be the leading
force in the House against the
Presidents preparedness program.
He has announced that he will not
exert his influence as leader of that
body in support of his side of the
controversy, but content himself with
registering his views in a speech and
. vote.
Mr.. Bryan goes farther. Out of
Office, and free, white and twenty
one," he will 60 his full length as
a millennialist. He is at present
stumping against preparedness; and
the effect is expected to show in the
House when that body takes up the
subject. He has friends and follow
ers there. and they will be governed
in their attitude by his. In word, he
will be the leading inspiration there
of the millennialistic forces.
Mr.. Clark on the ono side and Mr.
Kitchin on the other will supply both
ginger and color to the contest. They
