Representatives from the Womans Trades Union League got a hearing before the board of experts who are Investigating industrial conditions and they suggested this plan of meet ing the unemployment problem.'
 There are over thirty eight thou sand affiliated women members of the Trades Union League, according to Mrs. Cram, and each of these women is willing to sacrifice to better condi- tions under which other women work
 There are the neckwear makers the cloth cap and hat makers, ladies' tallOrs, dressmakers, white goods workers, cigarmakers, cloak and reef CT makers, and dozens of other trades represented in the league, and they are all interested in each other, and willing to strike if it means better conditions for some sister workers
 Mrs. Cram, of imperious bearing and high-arched eyebrows, here be- came, in her enthusiasm, something finer than an aristocrat She typified then1-all women who help bear the burdens of others.
 Bad Conditions Our Affair.
 'It is my affair and your affair if woman drags out her life in a sweat SI1Op, Sne went OH, alter lew minutes of silence. All Of us are in a measure responsible for the bad conditions under which she works.
 II don't like this talk about inn proving the working peopA.4 she said suddenly. The only way we can help them is by helping them change their own conditions. The improvement must come from them up and not from some one else down. And if they are paid a just wage in return for their labor, they can inn prove themselves. That is why l am strongly in favor of unions. Organized Ia bor can demand it's rightful wage, and can take care of it's own indus trial conditions.''
 Are you a syndicalist?" Mrs. Cram was asked, "Oh, don't say that she laughed. You'll have ev- cry one down on me-" Just then the butler came to announce that the car was ready, and Mrs. Cram gath cred up her furs.
 The Label Shop Significance
 "Oh, forgot to tell you about the label shop" she exclaimed, and sat down again. That is really the most important thing l have to talk to you about. The label shop at IA East Thirty seventh street New York, sells only union made garments It was and the idea was to acquaint people with the union label. Now, it stands for all l have been talking about, bet

Thomas. the author of ''Thc Rainbow and Clayton Hamilton. a prolific writer of the stage. f'The Big Idea' contains a most novel story, written with wit, sparkle and de1icacy which appeals to folks Of intelligence and lively ina gination.

The guinpe is one of the really essential garments for every wardrobe. Here is one that can be made with high neck, with V-shaped, with square or with round neck, and with plain sleeves or sleeves that are gathered into cuffs. Conse- uuertly, it is adapted to almost every need. On the figure, it is cut off at the waist-line and joined to smooth peplum, but if preferred, in place of the pepluDi. the guimpe itself can be extended and the fullness held by means of tape inserted in casing. The guimpe is a perfectly plain one, with fullness only at the waist line; the sleeves are slightly gathered at the shoulders after the very latest decree The model Is a very good one for net, chiffon, crepe de chine and also for batiste, lawn and the like. A very dainty effect can be obtained by using fine white organdie, and embroidering the collar and the fronts with some simple little design.
 For the medium size will be needed 4 yds. of material 27 in. wide, 14 yds. 36, and 11s yds. A, with yd. of insertion to trim as illustrated. The pattern 8545 is cut i'll sizes from 34 to A bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on re- ceipt Of ten cents.

Mrs. J. Sergeant Cram Says That All Are Responsible for Bad Working Conditions She Is Society Woman and Has Joined Musicians Uncn-Says Woman Workers Are Most Atrus-
 tic Beings in the World

Mrs. John Sergeant Cram, New York society woman, has joined union. She has taken out her card in a musicians local, No. 21O, has paid her dues for the year and now the cause of labor is her cause in reality.
 Yes, I have joined a union," she smiled. She had just come from frolic with her children in the park and her cheeks were red and her eyes shining. She sat in the library of her home at East Thirty-eighth street T joined because I believe in organ ized abor as the only means of bet tering industrial conditions, and be- cause I wanted to show how much in earnest I am. You see my card in the musicians union entities me to mem- bership in the affiliated organiza- ton, the Woman's Trades Union League, and my great interest lies in this.
 ''To me the union label is signifi- cant of the best industrial conditions,' '' Mrs. Cram went on. There can be no child labor, no sweatshop labor and no underpaid labor in the shop where a union label is tackled on. l wish ev- erybody realized how much it meant, and that every consumer would insist upon union made articles
 Those who work for better adjust n1ent of social and industrial cOndi- tions see in Mrs. Grams act a fore cast of a finer future. It is one of the
 little straws which point the way of an evolution which will end in an un-
 derstanding more friendly and co-op- crative than the traditional capital 1 labor anta gonism has yet permitted. Women Workers Most Altruistic. E'urthcrm ore, Mrs. Cram attends the meetings of the Woman's Trades Union League in New York and is deeply interested in it's affairs. Why, these women workers are the World.' she exclaimed. You have no idea how generous and self sacrificing they are. Men have said that women do not stand by each other, and have no loyalty to other women. It may have been true be- fore women went into the world to , earn their living, but it isn't now. These organized women are just as faithful to each other and the prin- ciples for which they stand as men could be.
 Why, you should just see how they are handling their unemployment problem. You know how many thousands of women workers are out of work now. Well, the women who still have jobs want to shorten their hours and their pay half in order to give those not working chance.

 ACTS AT KEENEYS

With Saturdays night performance the Fields Broth CTS Stock company, which is presenting "Whirl- -A-Gig,, at Keeney's this week will bring their engagement in this city to a close The act they are offering for the closing week is probably the most entertaining speciality that they have used during their stay here. It is a condensed version of The Girl Behind the Counter the popular musical comedy in which Weber and Fields scored a pronounced hit. The act is winning the approval of large audiences daiIv and the company continues to receive the plaudits of the patrons of the thea ter. The Fields are ideally cast in this piece. They have big opportuni- ties to display their talents as German comedians and they are not missing q single advantage. Harry Jackson and the Three Shaws also continue pop ular. The singing of the trio is one of the best features of the show , Besides the headliner there are a mum Der of classy acts on this weeks program. The entire show is up to the standard that has been maintained at the popular playhouse for weeks and it we'll deserves the patronage it is receiving.
 An artistic singing and acrobatic turn entitled, Flight Minutes in 2 Conservatory, is presented by the Faynes, a pair of clever entertainers who open the show. There are several novel features in this turn and itgoes big every day.
 Stone and Sheldon in "The German and the Soubrette" make a strong bid for applause. They are light enter tainers of the first order.
 The Two Vagabonds find favor for their playing of string. instrument it's. Their singing is also good. The aud fence greets them cordially at every performance and seems to enjoy their act
 Flaro, the instrum ental man, has a novel turn. He is an acoustic marvel and his limitations of musical instru- ments are remarkable.
 The Pathe Weekly will be one of the features of the picture program tonight.

POLL , COMPANY IN
 NEW ENGLAND PLAY
IE-|C c.

Following today's presentation of The Blindness of Virtue" at Po1i's theater. Hartford. Manager James, Thatcher will conduct another of the popular Get Acquainted Matinees" at which Miss Ada Dalton, who is this week scoring an individual success as Cookie" and Forrest Seabury will receive those in the audience on the stage. A novel matinee is planned for next week Thursday ~'hen the entire company will receive.
 The players are giving truly re- markable presentation of Sir Cosmo Hamilton's remarkable play that has been so widely discussed since it was first presented in London. Taking his main theme from a happening of real life, the playwright has woven a story that is in reality an indictment of those mothers who allow their daugh- ters to pass through the awakening period of their womanhood in ignor- ance of the real problems which will confront them. In presenting this les- son MT. Hamilton has included a love story of the redemption of a young man through the influence of a gooc- ly vicar and his beautiful daughter. Situations arise which might natural ly cause suspicion to fall upon the young man but the final outcome is delightful and removes any objecs ton that might otherwise be cast up- on the play. For next weeks offer~ ing the players will be sen in the not able New England comedy dramA, "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"

THE DEBUTANTE,"
 PARSONS TONIGHT

An especially pretty scene in "The Debutante." the new Victor Herbert operetta in which HazeI Dawn will be seen at the Parsons tneater, Hartford, tonight and tomorrow, with special Lincoln's birthday matinee tomorrow comes at the opening of the second act. It is supposed to be a gathering of notables at the salon of noted sculptor in Paris, anl at the rise of the curtain the chara cters are listening to violincello solo. The 'celloist is Theodore Heinroth and he really IS a remarkably good performer on tho instrument Victor Herbert likes this numbe so well that he has loaned his own long cherished instrument to MT Heinroth for the number. It will be remembered that MT. Herbert be- fore he became d composer, played the cello in an orchestra and it is also worthy of note, that Harry B. Smith, the librettist of "The Dubu tante," was the first enc tu recognize the genius of Victor Herbert.
 Merry entertainment will be pro- vided at Parsons on Saturday mat inee and night in the prese ntation of Rupert Hughes clever ard highly successful farce, Excuse Me" Laugh ter is literally crowded into every mo- ment of Excuse Me- and by attrac- tive means, too, for instead of being created by far-fetched and impossible persons and events often tine fabric of farce, this play relates a genuinely i'm teresting narrative that while comic is wholly probable.
