Ice skating has been enjoyed by the youngsters for the first few days of the week, and many of them took advantage of the opportunity to try their skill-some demonstrating that they were slightly lacking. Ice skating is something seldom seen in this section, and when it does get cold enough to freeze there is a heavy demand for skates.

 Madge's First Cigarette. Did his voice hold a covert sheer? I thought again of the woman in the theater dressing room who had refer red to me as ''the marble bride. Were the principles upon which my very character was built to. be the rock upon which our happiness would be wrecked?
 I recognized the fact that to Dicky my principles were only prejudices. A tiny voice somewhere in my inner con-
 sclousness whispered Are you very sure that some of them are not?'
 I felt bewildered, shaken. The trid- ing query of Dicky's concerning my smoking had been to me as the sud- den losening of an anchor must be to a boat. l was swept into unfamiliar seas. Secure in the haven of the lim- tied circle which had surrounded my work and life before my marriage, I had never questioned the soundness of the theories which had been bred in me.
 I wondered what my mother would say to me. I knew she had possessed my temperament l knew also that her life had been wrecked by my fathers assertion of her. What had she said to me on that last terrible day before she left me? "I wish I had kept a record of those days of my own unhappiness so I could warn you of the hidden rocks in your path' Had she regret ted some of her own acts? Would she advise me to yield some of my preju- dicAs to Dicky's and save my resist ance for a time when some vital principle might be in question .
 All at once the realization swept over me that her advice would be just what I had fancied. I made a sudden decision. leaned forward and held out my hand to Dicky t

VOLUNTEER ORGANIST AT POLPS NEXT WEEK

Hartford theatergoers are taking advantage of their first opportunity of witnessing Willard MaCk's great and thrilling play, Kick 1n,' at POli $ this week for although the production has the stamp of approval of New York and Chicago it has never before been seen in this city. Chased as "crook play it takes it's place with within the Law" and other notable successes which have the methods of the metro politan police departments as it's basis and the efforts of reformed crooks to Ego straight as its theme.
 ''The Volunteer Organist' in which the players appear next week is based upon the noted song of the same title and it was written by William B. Gray. It tells of, the regeneration of a man through the influence of a minister who is all charity and kind ness.

MARIE DRESSLER ON
 KEENEY BILL TONIGHT

Marie Dressler, recognized as the most popular comedienne in the mo vies," plays the leading part in ''Til- lies Tomato Surprise" the Big Four features of the Keeney program to- night. Marie's newest screen success is described as "phantastic photo pharce' in six reels. It is a big laugh maker and it should draw a large aud- fence. The story is an amusing net work of nonsense but is nevertheless very entertaining.
 Sharing the top position with the Dressler play will be "The Arab,' with Edgar Selwyn in the leading role. "The Arab" was a remarkable success as a drama and in it's picturized form it is not the less entertaining.
 .'Clarissa" is the feature for Friday and Saturday. This is a Famous Players feature in which Hazel Dawn is starred.
 The vaudeville bill contains such acts as Turner's symphony, a novelty with ten people; Lanky Bob, the box ing kangaroo: Benson and Belle, clas- ,si, dancers. and Collins and Collins singers and conversationalists.

Do you use the comparison of your- self with other people as means of or as a spur?
 Comparisons are odious (to mis- quote Mrs. Malaprops) only when you use them for f-glorifications or jus tification.
 When you use them for a spur they are the exact opposite of odious, what over that may be (the dictionary of antonyms gives charming" delight full" "felicitous" and "lovcly but somehow none of these seems to be just the right word.)
 The temptation to justify ones self for any falling by mentally compar. ing ones self with others who are even more deficient is a temptation to a more insidious and dangerous moral drug habit.
 Justifying Yourself for Tightening
 Your Purse Strings.
 For instance, take the question of giving. Suppose you have mode up your mind to give to charity a cer- tain portion of your income. In these days of the high cost of living you find this most inconvenient. You con- sider lessening this proportion, and when your conscious becomes active you find yourself trying to drug it by saying to it, But even if I do give less, that will be as much as So- and so and more than So-and-So. Of course that is true, but wha of it?
 What you ought to give is mat ter to be decided between yoursel and your conscious. Or, if you ar to call in other witnesses, let then be those who will spur you on rathc than justify you in slumping. .
 And there are always plenty o such. To take a personal instance I sometimes find myself justifying tn

Full len ength tucks at the front of a blouse always give becoming lines. This one also shows fulness at the shoulders that is pretty. The collar can be worn open as it is here or buttoned up snugly. The model Is an excellent one for wear with the odd skirt and with the coat suit. The latest advices from Paris assure us that with the coat suits of quiet color, blouses | of bright hue will be worn. The model would be good one for American Beauty taffeta or crepe to be worn with costume of smoke gray or taupe or for any prettys bright shade that makes good contrast with the quiet suit. Also the bodies would be smart worn with plaid o1 striped skirt if made in one of the pre- dominant colors. Here, the sleeves ara long with oddly shaped cuffs, but they can be made in three-quarter length and finished with bands. For the odd waist of general wear, soft-hnished or chiffon taffeta' in Persian design, is liked. The front edges C the blouse are underfaced and consequently can bd rolled back to form revers.

TO PUT ON FLESH
AND INCREASE WEIGHT
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE

Most thin people eat from four to
six pounds of good solid fat-making
food every day and still do not increase
fnSweight one ounce, while on the other
hand many of the plump, chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all
the time. It's all bosh to say that this
is the nature of the individual. 1t isn't
Natures way at all.
Thin folks stay thin becouse their
powers of assimilation are defective
They absorb just enough OF the FOOD
they eat to maintain life and sem
blance of health and strength. Stuff
ing won't help them. A dozen meals
a day won't make them gain a single

ing elements of their food just stay in
the intestines until they pass from the
body as waste. What such people need
is something that will prepare these
fatty food elements so that their blood
about the body-something too. that
will multiply their red blood corpus
cles and increase their blood's carry
ing power.
For such a condition I always recon-
mend eating a Sargol tablet with every
meal. Sargol is not, as some believe,
a patented drug, but is scientific
and powerful flesh building elements
known to chemistry. 1t is absolutely
harmless yet wonderfully effective

The company very readily agreed not
to run anything into the stream, but
would willingly install the filter sys-
tenn which the department recon-
mended and which since it has been
installed has proven that it is able to
meet all requirements.
After the filter system was COM
pleted the coal company released the
mine water which had been stored up
for over a year and drained through
the filter system between Is and 20
acres of mine water; at times there
being an S-inch stream; the water
after going through the filter was
turned into Sandy creek and the water
was so clear that none of the residents
knew that it was turned into the
stream.
The dimensions of the filter beds
at this plant are as follows: two COM
partments of limestone each measur-
ing about three feet wide, three feet
long and three feet deep. The ap-
proximate cost of this plant was $50;
$50 for labor and lumber and about
$40 for carload of limestone. This
amount of limestone will last about
one and a half to two years. Vegeta-
ton in the stream below the point
where the filter is installed has COM
menced to grow. This filter system
will take care of all discharge from
mines, the size of the plan depending
on the amount of water discharged
and the size of the mine. The Depart
ment of Fisheries believes that this
that others will follow and install the
system which will do so much to con-
serve fish life and which costs so little
for the benefit derived.
