THE WORTH OF PAGEANTs..

At a recent meeting of the Anerf- can Pageant Association, in Boston, some explanations of the pageant were given, which may be of interest in Indiana where the people are now engaged in the centennial celebration. The pageant is not a parade, nor is it merely a spectacle. Both of these are more or less transient in their na- ture because their origin does not con cern a fact of social or state history
 It has not been many years since pa geants were given only by schools, clubs or groups which went in" for curious things. Now pageants have advanced to such magnificent under takings as "Caliban,' held in New IYorIz in commemoration of the Shakes
 peare tercentenary.
 There were history and literature as well as scenic interestein "Caliban,' 9 and according to the American Pa
 geant Association it awakened New York to the possibilities of this form of municipal endeavor. It's reception | in the press showed that theatrical reporters were human beings,' and that many people who formerly had
 ridicu1ed the idea of pageantry had i been converted. The Newark pa geant was another example. On ac-
 count of it's proximity to New York.
 Newark has been regarded as an over
 grown village. But Newark's history | is as interesting as that of New York The recent pageant convinced the New 1 ark people of fthat@Indianapolis News

.BRIDGEPORTERS
 HAVE EXCURSION
 TO R0T0N POINT
Special Train Will Leav Bridgeport at 1O:2O on
 Next Tuesday.

Residents of this city are offered a real bargain entertainment on June 27. On that day there will be special excursion from this city to RotQn Point park, South Norwalk. The rates from Bridgeport, right into the park will be very low, and it is an offer that needs but to be known to be appreciated. The management of the park has arranged for special free features on that day, one of which is The1in the marvellous Aus tralian fire diver, who was the hit of the season last year at Luna Park.
 The special train will leave the Bridgeport station at 1:21 o'clock, ar irving at South Norwalk at 1O:51 o'clock and at the park at 11:15 o'clock. Leaving, the train will leave the park at o'clock and a rapid run will be made to the home of the ex- cursionists.
 Roton Point park is well entitled to the name of ''The prettiest park on Connecticut's coast" Endowed with all the advantages which nature could give, it has been beautified by the new management and for amusements has a roller coaster, carousa1, circle swing, skee ball game, the latest New York craze, and a score of other at fractions.
 Boating, bathing, dancing and other | | time and the finest of shore dinners may be had at the park. Chicken and waffes, cooked in the real south ern style, is one of the features of the l casino.
 Excursionists are cordially invited 1 to bring basket lunches to the resort
 if they so desire. or they may patron
 ize the dairy lunch which is one o1 the features of the park.
 TheIin, the fire diver, who will be | one of the many attractions at the | park. on excursion day, sets himself | afire while on the summit of a 75- | foot tower. She then dives headlong all ab1aze, into tiny tank 75 feet be- features ever introduced and Ina: 1 been pulling strong throughout the | country.
 Roton Point today is a place where 1 women and children are sought. Since the new management took hold two l years ago this spring, many new at l fractions, including the roller coast
 sl1ee ball game and circle swing have | been added. It is not the Roton Poin | of years ago. It throbs with life and
 has we'll earned the title of the Coney Island of Connecticut.
 l The excursions this year at the park are in charge of Charles A Goett1er of the New York Hippo drome, who so successfully conducted the excursions to the Hippodromt from many cities in Connecticut dur T ing the past winter and spring.

GOWNS WITH NO FASTENING.

To be able, even in. these days of progress and ingenuity, to invent an absolutely new type of dress is a dis tinct achievement-a dress which is at once in the extreme of the mode and yet is absolutely devoid of any fas- tening of any kind. Gowns which ez- actly fulfin all these conditions which can be slipped or off in a flash, and which yet look like the latest crea- ton of a fashionable couturier. They are an English invention and come di- rect from London, where their appear ance has been accepted a sheralding the solution of two vexing dress prob 1ems; first, the question of a loose dress, and secondly the question of a maternity gown.-New York Sun.
