If the leg joints are stiff and the

The housewife who wishes to keep

wear housemaid's gloves.
To remove white spots left by hot
dishes on the dining table, use cam

To keep sleeves up .when washing
dishes get pair OF bicycle clips and
attach to the rolled-up sleeves.
Keep a tiny ironing board handy
for pressing little things like, the
baby's cap strings or little collars.
In saving leftovers, put them into
the dishes in which they are to be re-
heated instead of into fresh dishes.
BY putting meat in cold water and
allowing the water to heat gradually,
a large amount of juice Is extracted

NOTED RURAL PLAY r.
AT POLLS THIS WEEK

Quincy Adams Sawyer" in which
the Poll Players appear this week, is
one of the best of rural plays. The
Poll Players will give it a presenta-
ton that, in many respects, will equal
that of the original company. James
Thatcher, the managing director of
the Poll theaters in Hartford and
Washington, d. c., created the name
part of the play and appeared in it
with marked success for several years
The play is principally a comedy, but
there is a love story that holds the
audience. There are several unusual
stage scenes introduced In the play
that make it unique. The old-fash-
Toned husking bee will be a novelty
to the present generation, but older
folks will remember times when these
events were common. The snowstorm
scene is one of the most realistic pre-
sented on a stage. Harry Holdings
worth will play the title role. A cast
OF twenty speaking parts is required
to present Quincy Adams SAWYER

season. Souvenirs were presented to

Strange to say, the full skirts
have brought US neither the lego

-
Smart short coates and full
skirts are very generally worn, espe-
cially among the younger smart
women.
The short bolero coats. with fare
and ripple at the bottom, are most
becoming when worn with the very
wide skirts.

does not abate-- and some of the
prettiest are the colored brocades

HOITY TOITY GIRLS
AGAIN THIS WEEK

The increasing popularity Of the
Fields brothers and their stock COM
pany has led the management to en-
gage the comedians to remain here
another week. With the Hoity Toity
girls they will appear during the cur
rent week in "Whirligig," one of Lew

nounces that many new features will

tainment. The Three Shaws and
Harry Jackson will remain with the
company, but their will be some new
faces in the chorus. There will be
q special program of popular song
hits in addition to numbers written
especially for the piece.
Other attractions that give promise
of becoming popular during the week
include the daring novelty of Moran
and Kingley, the famous upside down
dancers. This act is said to be one
OF the most novel turns introduced in
vaudeville this season. It created al
most a furore in New York and since
it has been out on the New England
circuit it has also scored heavily
Another daring and thrilling fea-
ture of the bill is an equilibristic
appear. This team defies the laws of
gravitation and furnishes more thrills
than any other acrobatic act that has
been given here in weeks.
Mystifying feats vii make up the
program of Professor Neuman. He
is a celebrated sleight-of- hand artist
He also has some very clever cabinet
mysteries in his repertoire.
Mack and Sherwin, singers and
dancers, will also be numbered among
the talent
The Hearst-Selig weekly will top the

management announces that for
Thursday and Friday THE Jugger-

Such dress az this one can be utilized
both for new materials and for making
over frocks Of the previous season. Here
the coat and the skirt are of linen and the
sleeves and the collar are of handkerchief
lawn while the under bodice is of lining
lawn. but it would be easy to make the
sleeves to match the skirt with the coat
OF different material or of a different
color, as rose colored pique over white, or,
taffeta over fine lawn and any model
that can be used in that way is sure
to be practical. There is plain blouse
to which the plated skirt is attached
and the little sleeveless coat is entirely
separate. The linen with the scalloped
edges is much liked this season and they
are not difficult, but embroidery is not
necessary and bound edges are quite
correct. Edges bound with braid are
exceedingly smart or there could be
bands of trimming as finish. For the
dressy little frock, the skirt and the
sleeves of white wolfe with the coat Of
taffeta in some pretty bright shade would
be very handsome.
