 Dark Blue Marquisettc with White
 Linen RufIes.
 If you decided to lunch downtown wear a dark -hued marquisette morn ing frock. Even the duiiest of blue frocks may be cheered by white trim mings. Fine white linen is exception ally smart on marquisette. One de- ceitfully simple little dark blue gown has a full skirt trimmed at the hem and the knees with a two-inch broad ruffle in white linen, bound with blue marquisette. The skirts straight widths are gathered to a wa1stband hidden under a blue satin girdle of the washa ble kind.
 Above the blouses a bodice whose fronts, separating over a narrow vest in flesh chiffon centred with q row of overlapping pearl buttons, are trim ined across the bust line with a white linen ruffle, also bound in blue This ruffle. gradually dropping at the sides, crosses the back several inches above the waist line and stands outward in the perky little fashion of an Eton.
 The jacket illusion is assisted by narrow collar punctuated at each cor narrow elbow sleeves, are blue mar Quisette piped, and by the white linen land defining the fronts to the edges of it's ruffles. Across the throat this band does not quite join, but. turning sharply to left and right, becomes a narrow collar, punctuated at each cor ner by gold shell buttons like those at the ends of the blouse ruffle. Four tones are used in this simple, but by no means inexpensive morning frock.

DRAMA OF TENTED
 SHOWS AT POLPS

Polly of The Circus" in which the Hartford Poli Players appear all next week, might be called d drama of the tented shows for it depicts the life of d young girl, after she is in jured riding a circus horse, until she finally marries country pastor. Theatrical life in it's various phases has been dramatized so that most peo- pie have a fairly good idea Of it. but 1t remained for Margaret Mayo to hit upon a circus rider as her chief char acter. While the acrobats are going through their stunts and the clowns are doing all sorts of antics Polly, the star bareback rider of the circus. is thrown from her horse and injured. Show hands pick her up and take her to the home of the village pastor to recover. Before she has fully re- covered there develops a love be- tween the pastor and the girl. Town gossip starts wagginG and the poor girl departs, the minister knows not where. The circus finally plays the same town again and the minister claims the girl as his wife.
 Around this story the producers have built production that has been d sensation. To Miss Skirvin will fall the role of Polly, the ambitious little bareback rider. Miss Skirvin is ad- mirably fitted to portray this char acter and it is expected that it will be one of the most pleasing that she has yet presented Mr. Hollingsworth will play tho young pastor who edu- cates the girl and Who is linked with her in tho romance of the play. The other favoritcs will have roles that are prominent and for which they arc well suited

Washington, April 3.-The state de- partment has instructed Ambassador Page and Consul General Skinner, at London, to make an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Leon C. Thresher, the Amer ican mining engineer, drowned when the German submarine sent the Brit ish liner Falaba to the bottom. The ambassador and consul general re- ported that they had been informed that Thresher had been drowned, but they said they had no official inform alton. They do not know whether ample time was given for escape and Thresher was negligent, whether he was killed by the explosion caused by the torpedo or drowned while the vessel was sinking. Officials had lit tie doubt that the case eventually would form the subject of representa- t1Ons to Germany. In it's note, after Germany's war zone proclamation the Washington government notified the German foreign office that it would feel compelled to hold that government to strict aecountab bility'' for the loss of American lives or property through the operations of submarines against British merchant shipping.

Marriage Failures.
(AIothers' Ma gaZine.)

That there should be such involved discussion and so many amazingly contra dictory theories about the cause of the failure of marriage is surpris- ing
 The plain fact is that marriage is always the end of romance and the beginning of history. This is so true that Homer tells us the women Of ancient Greece reckoned their ages not from the birth date. but from the wedding day. A good many husbands in this twentieth century are good deal more certain about the number of years their wives have lived since marriage than about the summer and winters they had numbered before they became wives.
 Failure to recognize the difference between romance and history causes failure of marriage. Romance is all play: history is a serious business. Courtship is pie; marriage is potatoes. The come-doWn from pie to potatoes sometimes oVerstrains matters ser ously. But if this crisis is safely passed another awaits.
 Love is the spice of life, but friend ship is the nourishing food without which life, except to unusual indvid- uals, becomes d burden. The mar riage which is all spice and no food soon gives one or frequently both of the parties thereto acute indigestion. When the ecstatic emotions. of the honeymoon have fled, marriage must find some other subsistence or it can not thrive And the only satisfying food tiS friendship

Prof. l.. L. Dyche, state fish and

died last week, Prof, Dyche was a
self-made man In every sense OF the
word. At the age Of II years he was
unable to read or write a word, and
in five years he had completed an
eIght-year course at the state univer'
sity. He had travelled extensively in
the interest of that institutions de-
partment of zoology, and had accumu-
lated collection of specimens that
are excelled by very few colleges and
museums. He did wonderful work
the last few years in restocking the
streams of Kansas with fish, and his
work will prove more valuable to the
state In future years. Men like
Dyche are hard to give up by any
commonwealth, but Kansas is a
better state by reason of his having

spoke for the incoming Capper ad-

cratic press of the state which has
been denied to my administration by
the Republican press-the truth. y
This sentiment from the retiring
governor brought such a spontaneous
outburst of applause that Mr.. Wag-
ner says he looked at the new gov
ernor to see how much of a guilty
blush he is capable of. And the fact
that he looked closely without being
able to discern any change of color
