wave. no throng OF fellow citizens
come to pay their annual tribute, but
forest trees unfurl the flag OF all ma

ever rising on the evil and the good
rours a flood of glory over the dreary
spot. 80 tolling bell, no eulogy or

HUGHES AND THE LILACs.

To be sure Hughes was not an
unmixed delight. But there were
politicians in the convention who
had learned something from 1919,
and the menace of Roosevelt and
the Progressives was more vivid
ly In their minds than the stark
virtue of Hughes. They did not
allow themselves to think too
much of 1920. Against this logic
and this mood Roosevelt workers
argued fngeniously but helplessly.
They pointed out that Hughes
was the cruelest boss killer Of
them all: that T. r. was always
good to the good bosses. and q
story spread around that one
somewhat pro-Roocevelt boss had
said: The Colonel used to kick
me out of the front door every
once In a while, but he'd see me
now and then at the back door.
But this man Hughes won't let
me smell the lilacs around the
White House" 1t did not avail.

THIS IS THE LIFE"
 COMING TO GRAND

''This is the Life' is the title of the two act revue written by George Tot ten Smith, in which Max SpiegeTs "Merry Founders, featuring Abe Reynolds and George F. Hayes, will be seen at the Grand theater all next week, with the usual matinees. The opening scene is in the millinery shop to which Jacob Rosenbloom, shrewd but kindly Hebrew lawyer has called for the purpose of securing some important legal documents. The papers are lost and the services of Seth Stubbs, a sleuth are secured to trace them. The search leads the principals into all sorts of places and the finale of the first act finds them in the mythical Tangoland. The plot is constructed so as to give the cOn- edians, Reynolds and Hayes plenty of opportunity to display their tal- ents. They work with the assistance of Eugene MacGregOr and Frank Ward. In addition, the women prin- cipals, May Latham, Elizabeth Jane and Ruth Wesley, have opportunity to display their abilities as singers and dancers and to display their stunning wardrobe. There is chorus of twen- ty-four girls That well liked 'Beh- man Show finishes it's engagement With tonight's performance.

COMEDIES FIGURE
 IN TONIGHTS BILL

Comedy will be predominant on the photopIay program at Keeney's to- night, the management having ser cured some humorous films of high merit for the leading attractions Conspicuous among them will be the Pathe release, "The Adventures of Madcap," a breezy comedy presented by an exceptionally capable cast. Much is also expected of the farcicaI filmed play, Tn Soft In A Studio" which is to form part of the bill.
 The dramatic feature will be sup piled by the Vitagraph company, which will introduce James Morrison in the five-part screen version of the great story, 'The Alibi,' This pic- ture made a pronounced hit with the patrons last evening. It is intensely dramatic and the big scenes are real thrillers.
 The vaudeville entertainers, who will conclude their New Britain en- agreements this evening, are Millie Hart ventriloquist; Pero and Will son, comedy barrel jumpers and the Sharoffs, Arabian acrobats.

CT too lax already will lift up their hands in horror at this.
 One moment: would not for worlds have Sunday desecrated. I want it to be the day for peace and worship and rest.
 But do not think that these things are incompatible with happiness and normal living.
 My ideal Sunday is this-attendance in any church where you can best get the feeling of peace and worship; after that outdoors and sunshine (especially if you are shut up in an office on week-days) and communion with con- genial friends and music. Music Gives Us the Want-to-Be-Good
 Feeling.
 Beautiful music is the essence of the true Sunday spirit.
 One Sunday afternoon stands out from all the rest in my childhood. I spent it with a family who had ad- vanced ideas. For the first few hours, children and grOWn-ups Joined in a wonderful game of hide and seek all over the big yard and in the barn. Then, the whole family gathered in the big living room and we had an Eour of music. We listened to classi- cal music, sang hymns and some of the best of the old folks songs.
 I went home, tired, sleepy and hap py and full of that longing for some thing better and more beautiful in my life that music always gives.
 Was that a well-spent Sunday, or not?
