Those Big Little Things

A neighbor of mine gave a little party one evening. The next morn ing I happened to be in her home. The telephone bell rang. She an Swered it.
 Did you really? I'm so glad. It's so hard to tell whether people really have a good time or not. Not real ly? Why, she's the hardest person in the world to please. I was afraid she'd think the table decorations were overdone. You'd like the recipe for that salad? Of course I'd love to give It to you. Yes, I am rather tired, but I don't care now I know it really was a success"
 Her Day-Aftcr Gloom Was Gone.
 My little neighbor came away from the telephone glowing. Her eyes shone. The rather dispirited, was-all- the-trouble-Worth while -after-all eX- pression, so common to the day after, had gone from her face.
 Wasn't that just sweet of Mabel? she cried. She called me up to tell me what a success my party was. That's just like her. She always re- members little things like that" Little things like that,"-yes, , suppose they are little, but, as , heard the glad note in my neighbor'< voice and saw the shine in her eyes I thought to myself How big thoughtfulness and the choice of tht

right moment can make little thing!"
 There are some people who are al- ways doing these little things. They Remember to Ask About the
 Invalid.
 If such a one comes to see you and some member of your family is i'll, she is sure to call up the next day to inquire and to be glad with you if he is better or sympathize and cheer you up if he is not. It's only a little thing, of course, but it makes you seem so much less alone, it gives you that warm sense that someone cares.
 Again, I have some friends who all ways remember when they meet me to ask for those members of the family whom they have previously met and I know others who never think of this gracious act
 With some people this thoughtful ness seems to be instinctive, with others it has to be acquired with ef- fort, but the effort has manifold re- wards. One is the satisfaction of giving pleasure to others; another is the consciousness that one has att tained that degree of breeding; and another is the knowledge that per haps in the next generation this thoughtfulness will be instinctive instead of acquired

"SEVEN KEYS TO
 BALDPATE" MONDAY

Seven Keys to Baldpate,'" the play that George M. Cohan has built from the story of the same name ny Earl Derr Biggers, and which will be pre- sented here at the Lyceum by the Al fred Cross Co., January 31, is farce of seven kinds.
 It is in two acts-that is one kind. It is original-that is the second kind. It is melodramatic-th is the third kind. And there are four other kinds to say nothing of a prologue and an epilogue that are thrown in for good measure.
 Alfred Cross will play the lead, that of the young novelist "Wm. Hallowel1 Magee," Ralph Collier, and Arthur Vinton will appear as Mayor Cargan", and his mad man Friday
 J. Irving White as Peter, the Her init will have an excellent comedy part, and one of the hits of the play. Joseph Henley, as the old care-taker Quimby and Estelle Morton as his wife, have two lovable and sympathet- ic characters.
 Philip Sheffield, will appear as the melodramatic Bland Hal Jarrett as "Kennedy' plays part adapted to his meth ods, while K. Scott plays Hay den.' Julia Herne, doesn't have her usual opportunity, as the little news paper reporter but Miss Byron as Myra Thornhill is furnished with her best part of the season. Elsie Southern as Mrs. Rhodes, has an interesting DOT trayal.
 "Baldpate' requires production massive and substantial, and the di- rector is looking after that end, while scenic artist Futile, has painted some elaborate scenery. "Baldapte' is a test week for the Alfred Cross players as their has been many rumors as to the company leaving New Britain, so this play has been selected, that thea tergoers are offered the most expensive play before the stock company public.

EPISODE 2.

To Langdon alone the calling of Mary came as no surprise, and he was at her side in moment, whisper ing reassurance, and urging her to answer as simply and clearly as pos sible the questions she was asked. His calm gave her back some meas ure of her own serenity, and her voice was low but clear as she took the oath and, stepping up into the wit ness stand. looked down upon that sea of faces For a moment they sWam before her eyes. and with 8 catch in her throat she remembered the last time she had looked down across the footlights upon thousands of smiling lips and friendly eyes above a snow storm of applauding white gloves. How long ago it seemed and yet how short a time. And now the faces that stared up at her were avid with curiosity; some hostile, some sympathetic.

 Miss Page, isn't it true that David Pollock wished to marry you?"

 And you found his attentions un- welcome?''
 Something in the tone brought her head up sharply.
 "I had told MT Pollock that I could not marry him." she said firmly
 Abruptly the prosecutor changed his train of questioning

I've just met the most charming young girl at tea, and she knows so many people that I dol! She has been living in Canada for the last two years so that's why we haven't met before. She designs all her clothes, she says, and she showed me some lovely little sketches. One is @ skating costume she has promised to give me. It's made of old-blue wool Jersey cloth. The coat is knee-length and has high collar edged with sealskin; this fur, continuing down, outlines the slanting cut of the opening in the front. There is a belt of the material that holds in the fullness across the back and ties low in the front ending in fringes; the skirt is laid in box-pleats. She said it would look charming in the new shade of tooth-powder pink, but I preferred the blue.

 The play comes to Hartford after it's remarkable run of nine months in New York where it played three diff ferent theaters in succession, and from it's sensational five months run in Boston, where it broke all records of this year for attendance
 In the Golden Cabaret scene on the Primrose Path of Pleasure there is fashion show of remarkable beauty. Fascinating women wearing dresses and jewels that fairly dazzle the eye. The display of fetching style creations is considered, the critics say, equal 70 any fashion show that has ever been given in New York or Boston. It is in this Golden Cabaret where Youth while on his quest for fame and for tune sees night life of the great city at it's best-or worst-with all it's col or and reckless abandon. The very latest dances are given in this cabaret scene and new songs are sung.
 In the Corridors of Chance act a modern gambling house is shown with men and women engaged in trying to woo the tickle goddess of chance. "Pom-Pom" the new comic opera that has been launched by Henry w. Savage with Mizzi Hajos in the title role, will be seen at the Parsons theater again this evening. The dim inutive star is supported by Tom Me Naughton as chief comedian, and a large cast and chorus. The music of "Pom-Pom' is played by an orches- tra of grand opera size. The produc- tion is one of the really big things l of the season.
