Prominent among these will be a French panto- mime scene, which will be unfolded for the first time here. exploiting Airline Donaire and Jules La Barbe Partisan dancers.

An Old-Fash toned Child.

Do you like to read diaries, famous ones, I mean In the same propor- ton that I love to read biographies. must confess I don't care for diaries.
 An effort to read Madam DAT plays "reminiscences lns reminded me of, and confirmed me ln this preju- dice. Nevertheless, I want to tell you today about the ono thing that deeply interested me in that book.
 And that was Frances Burney's at titude toward her father
 Frances Burney spent a large DOT ton of her waking time doing clert- cal work for her father, a musician and writer of some small note. Her own novels were crowded into the spare moments.
 Yet She Never Thought Herself
 Abused.
 Yet. in her intimate diary there is never a hint of resentment or re- bellton, never a suspicion of hei own superiority.
 And everywhere there is the most wonderful filial humility.
 I have copied out some passages because I want some of the young peo- pie of the present day to see them.
 Her father returns from a journey, and she writes:
 "The moment he arrived, l forgot everything but the pleasure Of sco- ing him. He was more klnd, hloFe affecticnate than ever, if possible.

ALL UP FOR THE
 BIG BERLIN FAIR

Berlin will be the objective point during the ensuing week when the State fair will be in progress. Autos will speed over the fine highways and trains will be crowded with the pleas ure seekers. Special excursion rates at reduced fares and including ad- mission to the grounds are offered
 great fair is now in full swing and the next forty eight hours will see a great transformation of the historic fair grounds. In order that those who have the various exhibits to arrange will not be interfered with the gates will be closed on Sunday. Thus far over fifty carloads of exhibits have been unloaded and 100 more cars are being placed today and the task of getting everything in readiness for O o'clock Monday morning is no mean one. Tent men are now setting up the tents. The midway folks are getting ready and before tomorrow night the fair of 1916 will be in good order. The management has had years of experience in arranging fairs and the corps of workers is equally we'll trained in their specific duties so that early corners will have the sat- isfacton of witnessing a complete fair just as we'll as those who follow later.
 The stables contain a number of fine horses and great time is expected In the racing events. The majority of
New Britain herald., 1916-09-09

the horses have never been seen on ovals in this vicinity.
 The Columbia Boys band of San Francisco, Cal, will locate it's camp on the grounds within the race track tomorrow morning. They have their tents sleeping bags, and other neces- sary equipment and will demonstrate the latest detail in Boy Scout achieve ment. As they perform their various evolutions they will arouse greater in- terest in boy welfare work.
 On placing the contract for the ball. loonist this year a bond to guarantee the fulfillment was required by the management. The purpose is to in- sure the appearance of the performer because last year the performer failed to appear. The management takes great pride in the fact that it does as it advertises to and the omission of a single feature is annoying to it.
 Cattle and poultry stock began ar irving this afternoon and the fancy work, etc., is coming in. One exhibi- tor sent in a carload of vegetables and fruit.
 The free vaudeville attractions will begin at 1:30 every afternoon and two appearances will be given. The acts will be repeated in the evening in connection with the fireworks display.
 The admission to the grounds is 50 cents days; 25 cents nights. Autos will be admitted free at night. This year autos will be allowed to enter the north gate and can go onto the track or inside the oval. This ar rangement is made in order to elim- mate the confusion of getting out of the grounds. The society has life membership m tickets which entitle the holders to season tickets every year; also season tickets good for every day and night at $3.

Chap lin is winning great success in this film feature and it is said that he is extremely funny in the character of the pseudo titled visitor. As has been the case during other Chaplin weeks the Keeney management will not in crease the admission price while the comedian holds forth.
 There will be several good photo play attractions at the theater tonight. Prominent among them will be the Vitagraph blue ribboner, '"The Man Behind the Curtain,'' with Lillian Wal ker starring. The piece was a big hlt with the Friday night patrons and it's success is expected to be repeated to- night.

She wanted to take charge of the house ana have Dicky and me board with her. Dicky wouldn't hear to it, and because I sided with him she went to her daughter's.'
 Permanently ?"
 T don't know"
 See here, Madge,' Lillian sat up straight, "I seem fated somehow eternally to meddle with your busi- ress but you're such an intense, conscientious little person, so afraid you're not going to do the right thing, that you're bound to make a hash of things sometimes if some one doesn't c"me to the rescue.
 What Lillian Advised.
 But I simply must tell you this one thing" she went on. I've known of Dickys mother and her tantrunls long before I knew you. She's a mighty fine old girl, good principles, a tower of strength in an emergency but a. regular devil when she's crossed. She's shrewd, though and she knows when she's up against it. She'll go just as far as she possibly can in hav- ing her own way. It's all right to give in to her in little things Shes an ald woman and not very strong, but the only way you'll ever get along with such suddenness that I was. cer- to standstill on anything about which you feel you really must have your own way.
 Don't think I'm impertinent, my dear,' she finished lightly, but she : certainly will be back, and you might just as well begin with her as you mean to go on.'
 | You never could be impertinent, 1 Iillian," I said with indignant warmth, "and I am very grateful to | you for what you have said.'
 As we arose from the luncheon 1 table Katie popped into the room with such suddeness that I was cer- | tain she had been listening "Plees, may I spik to you, Missis 1 Graham 2" she asked with a hint of 1 tTuculence in her manner What is it, Katie?" I asked quietly. "I no like dis changing so much" 1 she answered pettishly First you leave city, coon out here, now so ! Queeck you want start right back again. I no like dot''

 'I think Katie means that now she's out here she'd like to stay in 1 Marvin permanently" she said. 'She doesn't want you to move back to the .'ity, isn't that it Katie?" 5
 Sure" responded Katie, beaming | No good dis moving oder place all time.''
 Well see what we can do about it, , Katie,' I promised, and then Lillian and I hurried to the seclusion of the | vine-covered veranda, where we in l dulged in a hearty laugh.

REVELATIONSOF WIFE
By ADELE GxARRLyON

Why Does Katie Dislike the Thought of Leaving the Old House in Marvin :?
 We spent a peaceful, happy week. We, meaning the Underwoods and picnic on which I so nearly lost my life.
 Lillian had threatened two or three times to return to town, saying that she felt guilty at playing gooseberry to such a pair of devoted lovers as Dicky~ and I were, but I insisted upon her staying the full week she had agreed upon when she came to me.
 But you have no need of me now" sine argued one morning toward the close of the week, my mission here is fulfilled. I told you I would get rid of Grace Draper for you. Thanks 10 the lady herself I have succeeded beyond my widest hopes, and your nerves are quite strong again, so you really don't need me any longer'
 'I think I shall always need you, Lillian" I said convincingly. You are like tower of strength to me"
 What do you think you are to me, you dear child? ?' she said affectionate- ly reaching over the luncheon table and batting my hand.
 We were alone at luncheon. Dicky had gone to the studio, and Harry was 1u the city fulfilling his promise to Grace Draper to find a place on Broadway for the clever dancing stunt she had exhibited to us a few evenings before.
 Do you suppose Grace Draper will keep her word % I asked hesitatingly. Tt will be unlike her, I am afraid, not to try to see Dicky again.
 Rest easy on that score,' Lillian said "Dicky's cured absolutely. It would do her about as much good to go Up and see Diclky again as it would for her to address a few love words to Nathan's Fales statue doWs in City Hall park She won't try going to see Dicky more than once, I'll wager She's shrewd, that girl, with all of 1 her folly.
 By the way" said Lillian, chang l ing the subject, when are you com ing back to town for the winter?'
 Why, I hadn't thought anything
 
 1 Dicky~ lets this house by the year. "Oh, of course," said Lillian, scorn- fully, that's Dicky all over'
 "But, of course'' I went on, 'T sup. pose we shall have to go in when req. cold weather comes. I don't imagine this house will be very comfortable 1 in the real winter but I would hka tc stay out until Thanksgiving anyway I understand the autumns are per. 1 fectIy wonderful in the country '"They are" Lillian assented. "F'o1 1 my part, I love the winters in z l country house. If it weren't fol | Harry I'd take a little house in towr | like this and become a regular com | nauter but he would positively die l more than a stones throw from 1 Broadway
 l "Of course, I can't tell exactly l what our plans will be- I said hesi | tatingly, until l know what Mother l Graham purposes doing.''
 | ''Anything to Tell?' Anything you care to tell me 2 Lillian returned, shrewdly readins | the hesitation in my mind.

 How strongly, how forcibly do I feel to whom I owe all the earthly happiness I enjoy. It is to my father, to this dearest, most amiable, this best beloved, most worthy of men, it Is his goodness to me which makes all ap- pear so gay, it is his affection which makes my sun shine"
