DIVORCE QUESTION
 PROVES GOOD PLAY

William Anthony McGuire's "rrhe Divorce Question:" a play of remark able strength, is the vehicle of the Hartford Poli Players for this week and, as presented yesterday. shows promise of becoming one of the many successful productions of this cast. II is a veritable sermon, although per- haps a melodramatic ono, and pre- sents numerous opportunities for display of dramatic ability Of the highest order, not a few Of which the Ioli Players utilize.
 Harry HollinEsworth, as Rev. Will liam Jerome the Roman Catholic priest. upholding the horrors of the divorce evil, yet filed with compass sion for all mankind. has part which is exceedingly strong and h gives d very creditable rendition of it. For rest Seabury, as Dcpic Doe. has an exceedingly difficult role, that of boy, neglected by his parents, who falls in with bad companions through force of circumstances, becomes dope fiend. and yet is unable to for get his love for his sister. and through this love is driven to commit murder. His playing of the part. while some what melodramatic at times, is very strong, and to this is due not a little of the credit, Of the play.
 Marguerite Skirvin, the leading wo- man ,as Mamie, the neglected daugh- ter. who is forced against her will into life that is worse than death and finally killed by the neglect of her parents, appears in but two of the acts. Yet in these two acts she has a role of great stren&th---u role which she meets with her characteristic ability.
 Ada Dalton, as Mrs. Roger Manners, the divOrcee who cannot take back her child, for fear of the effect it will have upon her other children. born of her subsequent marriage. plays her part with skill, as does Ben MacQua- Tie, that of Herbert LocKWood, her divorced husband, who, also, through selfishness and love of position in life. does not realize, until it is too late. the crime that he has committed. John Ellis, us Eugene Lawrence, the skep- tita lawyer, who seeks to prove by argument that divorce is justifiable. thus leading up to tho plot of the play. also gives a creditable perform ance.

Not a bit like a makeshift looks the young girls morning trotteur cos ture. although rarely does the checked skirt carry any of the material of the plain jacket, and although many girls are wearing skirts in two tones, with a jacket in one shade, there is noth ing suggestive of uniform. Each suit has individuality.
 That 1t is possible to produce the result with the most conventional ot material is evidenced by the apea1- ance of a finely checked white and dark blue skirt and a plain navy serge jacket. The skirt is untrimmed, and while not actually flaring is far from narrow. On the other hand, the jacket acquires marked flare about the hips from clusters of plcats set in below the belt. These .plcatings, opening like half-furled fans at either side help to give character to a jacket which, in the deep frillngs in finest white lace finishing it's straight sleeves and falling over the shoulders from the collar, suggests the garb pictured by some of tho old Dutch painters. In tone these frills match 8 filnly white blouse, showing between the ha.f- opened fronts of the coat

Immense Audience Enjoys "Three Twins''
 Given at the Lyceum

The Three Twins" which is at the opening performance there last even ing. was most enthusiastically enjoyed by an immense audience, and it was worth it, all the acting being good, the music pleasing to the ear, the gowns of the ladies, particularly those worn by Miss Galloway, being beauti- full and the piece itself superbly mounted. It was an ensemble that made a pretty picture and there were many who remarked as they left the theater that they would come again. '"The Three Twins Is a musical play in two acts and has no particular meaning except that three men look alike and there is much confusion oc- casioned by their mistakes towards their wives and sweethearts. If there was a little more age color given to the full beard worn by MT. Cross he would make a fairly good double for Senator Lodge of Massa chusettS. The music was of the catchy, merry char acter and the accompanying selections were so well given that encores were numerous, while the lines were read with care and clevcrness, Mrs. Hib- bard, as usual, eliciting much mirth with her comedy, which in this piece is accompanied with copious weeping. Miss Galloway looked we'll in her Leautiful gowns and if choice was to be made between her songs she probably made the best impression with her Little Girl Up Their" which had such @ jaunty swing to 1t and which was given with nicety of expression that was not lost sight of by the audience. which promptly manifested its appreciation. 1t was indeed a great night for Miss Bolton, who danced until she was tired and was applauded again and again. For one encore she stood against the pill lar at the end of the stage practically out of breath. She finally slid to the floor and cracked jokes and when she regained her breath she resumed her dancing, taking position on the piano where her nimble feet moved quickly with the music. This was all in her "Yama Yama' song. which on one occasion carried her out into the audience and in which she made a most decided hit Alfred Cross was
 
 good comedy effect, while Frank Wright, another twin, made a great deal of a very difficult part, adding much to the amusement of the piece. Allan Mathis played the third twin well and Mr. Birch made very hum orous doctor. MT. Fuller who played the father of Tom Stanhope, who was in love with Kate Armitage, was eX- cellent.
 The attraction Is a very meritorious one. it has a pleasing effect and the general verdict was that it was we'll given and made an excellent per- formance. The following is the cast: Ned Moreland.

LONDON, May 25.-German sub marines yesterday sent another Nor wegian ship to the bottom of the North sea. The boat was destroyed without warning. A British steamer which was near the scene went to the rescue and picked up the crew of the Norwegian boat.
 The commander of the submarine also, unsuccessfully, attempted tc send the rescue ship to the bottom tut was unable to do so because of the quick work of the British com mander, who twice attempted to ram the underwater fighter finally fore ing it to remain under water for d considerable time, during which the crew of the merchant ship were pick ed up.
 The call for aid brought several fast British patrol ships to the scene and the German boat disappeared.

WOMEN IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
They Held Office and Could More Than
 Hold Their Own In Trade.

They Held Office and Could More Than
 Hold Their Own In Trade.
 Women in England have always shared in the industrial life of the na- tion. Cautiously enough, writes Mir. A. Abram in English Life and Manners In the Later Middle Ages" statute of 1868 that ordered men to keep to one trade left women free to practice as many as she chose.
 In few instances, at least, women in the later middle ages discharged du- ties and held offices that do not fall to their lot nowadays. There are allu- sions to women burgesses in the rec ords of London and other towns, and if women married aliens they could naturalize them.
 Women did not shrink from engag- ing in foreign commerce. They ex- ported goods to France, Spain and oth- CT countries. A widow. Margery Rus sell of Coventry, is mentioned in no less than three different existing docu- ments. Her business must have been on fairly large scale, for she was robbed of merchandise worth $500 by some men of Santander. in Spain. In order to recoup herself for her losses she obtained letters of marque that empowered her to seize the goods be- longing to countrymen of the offend CTS.
 Margery apparently took more than was due her. for two Spanish mer- chants lodged complaints against her. She was ordered to restore both ships. but one of the Spaniards declared that she had refused to do so, although he had a commission directed to the eX- chequer. If Dame Margery Russell was a type. women traders of the mid- dle ages were well able to look after themselves.

 In the good old times the use of per fumes was originated to counteract the offensive odors arising from burn sacrifice. For this reason incense was always burned in the temples, and from that burning comes the literal significance of the word incense, which means through the smoke"
 Arabia has always been the land of perfume, the scents of Araby" being classic. Lady Macbeth refers to "all the perfumes of Arabia' in her sleep walking agony when she fancies she cannot wash the smell of Duncan's blood from her hand.
 While Arabia has most of the fame, it is undoubtedly fact that to Egypt belongs most of the credit, for the art of pertaining was practiced there to it's fullest extent Even the embalmed dead were saturated with spices and scents which have retained their de- lightful aroma after thousands of years. It was from old Egypt that the Greeks and Romans learned the use of the still for extracting perfumes from plants and flowers. To this Ro- man love for perfumes no doubt as much as to her own habits was due the fact that Cleopatra's barge was 50 overwhelmingly scented. Shakespeare describes it with:
