There will be ab solutely no increase in the admission price and New Britain will be the first place in the country to see the remarkable production except at dollar rates as a result ''The Fall of a Naticn" is in a sense a companion play to "The Birth of a Nation which scored such a tremendous sue cess. Both were written by the one author, Thomas Dixon, and were pro- duced on the same gigantic scale. Tn merit they compare faVorably with each other, both as a story and for the manner in which they are pre- sented ''The Fall of Nation" is in seven reels and judging from the comment of the New York critics it is one of the most elaborate phOto- plays ever staged. Thousands Of people take part in it and the entire production is most elaborately given. Special music for the piece was com posed by Victor Herbert and the Keeney management has arranged to
 have 1t played while the film is being run off.

She Didn't Apologize

Tle other afternoon when I called on a friend of mine she answered the door herself in a very short skirt and a brown flannel shirt.
 While she is a woman whom I greatly admire, we are not intimate friends and I had with me a guest who is a stranger to my hostess. 1t was a situation which would have embarrassed the ordinary Wom- an. Not so this woman. She did not break into apologies or explanations. She received us cordially and led us into her living room, and then, at her leisure, explained (not apologizeD that she had been working in her garden.
 She Didn't Say 'Its the Maids Day
 Out.'
 She keeps a maid who usually an- swers the door, but she did not think it necessary to establish this fact by explaining that it was the maids day out.
 Don't you admire that woman? I do.
 She had what I consider one of the finest of all Qualities-true dignity. That is the sort of dignity that made Lincoln capable of being en- tirelv unem barrassed when his cab inet found him playing leap frog with his son.
 They Had Blackcncd the Prime
 Ministers Face.
 That is the sort of dignity that
New Britain herald., 1916-11-04

SIT William Pitt, the prime minister of England, possessed. He had been romplnS with some of his young Friends when his two secretaries of state called. His niece had just s,1c ceeded i'll blackening the prime min lSterS lace with a burnt cork Yet one Of the rompers records how "the tall, ungainly, bony figure seemed to grow to the ceiling while the secre tarleS Of state bent like willows be- fore him.
 True dignity and false dignity are as lar apart as the poles.
 True dignity is a quality of the soul, not of the spine.
 True Dignity Is Rooted in the Soul.
 It doesn't consist in keeping your back like a ramrOd and your manner like an iceberg. It consists, her, in independence of soul.
 False dignity props itself up by explanations and apologies.
 TruC dignity never needs to be- cause it cannot be undignified. It dignifieS all that it does
 False dignity is as common as true dignity is uncommon.
 True dignity is often found in high places because it frequently carries it's pOSSCSSOr into them by it's own force, but it is also found in loWly' places, for tC quote Aristotle, "DignitN con- Sists not in possessing hOnors, but the consciousness that we deserve them."

a few minutes later Dicky came back tl ward our table. With him, talking earnestly, as if he had been a child hood friend walked the mysterious stranger. I told myself that had known it would be so from the first.
 From the moment I had first seen this mans haunting eyes gazing at mo ir. the reception room of the Syden- ham I felt that a meeting with him was inevitable. How or where he would touch my life I did not know, but that he was destined to wield some influence, sinister or favorable over me, I was sure, and I trembled with vague terror as I saw him drawing near.

TWO TANGLES in
PAVINGP PROJECTS

Lusitana and KaIakaua Avenue

GILMAN'S OFFER is LOW
BUT WARRENITE IGNORED
City Must Dig Up Excess for
Concrete; No Drainage in
KaIakaua Plans

Two big tangles are developing TO.
day from action by the board OF super,
Yisors last night upon two important
paving projects-the Lusitana street
and Kalakaua avenue improvements.
= In both instances the supervisors
passed on the Improvements in way
which one OF them today character
ize as hasty and without sufficient in
formation.
Tue first instance-Lusitana paving
--obligates the city to pay $500 In
excess of the engineers estimate when
at the same time the city,has an offer
from a local contractor to do the job
within the estimate and save the city
more than s1790.
The second instance kalakaua ave-
nne paying g-authorizes the paving of
this main thoroughfare and important
boulevard without sub.drainage, which
engineers declare is absolutely neces-
sary.
The tangles arise partly from the
technicalities surrounding action by
the board and partly from the terri
tory's Interest in both projects. AS a
result of the developments last night,
Superintendent of Public Works
Forbes, after conferring with city Off
cials today, said that in at least one
project, that of the Lusitana paving,
he will not be party to a requisite
agreement until he has legal advice
and until he is satisfied the action OF
the board is for the best interests OF
the Lusitana owners and the taxpay-
efs.

story printed herewith is as Rycak,
with shrug of shoulder ana gestufing

In far off YladiTostok, in the Rus

Rycak's wife is waiting until the day
that he can get to San Francisco and

sufficient means TO bring her to him.
Ryack is not destitute, for when the
war broke out he and his wife began
