 Dr. Blackford began years ago to study everything she could find out about human beings. Back and forth she went, all over America, watchinA and studying all kinds of people in all kinds of places, charting in detail the characteristics of 15,000 persons. Later she compared this data with the information she gained by an extend ed examination of more than fifty diff ferent nationalities in a tour around the world ~
 This vast fund of information was then classified by her, and now for a number of years she has been using this knowledge and the skill she has attained in helping thousands of young men and women decide what line of work they should choose and follow out as their life work.
 So successful has she become in se- lectiIig men and womsn for all kinds of positions, that some of tho large corporations of the country have en- gagged her services for weeks at a time to help them solve their employ ment problems.
 Dr. Blackford has written a number of books: perhaps the most popular one is The Job, The Man, and The Boss" She has lectured in Y. M. c. As before boards of trade. trade con- ventions, economic and scientific so- cieties. executive and university clubs.
 The subjects of her lectures are: First. Why You Are What You Are"; second, How. to Size Up Men, ana third, Business and Social Uses of Character Analysis" Dr. IBlackford will sum up the principles which she has taught by analyzing. from the platform. several men chosen from the, audience. The lectures are open to both men and women.

Il o1fn V 3 tyxs xlle ss New Britain Teachers, club were justinably proud Of thsir efforts last evening at the High school auditorium where an en- tertafnrnent. was produced for the beneht of the clubroom fund. Pro- fessional thespians assert that the audience plays an important role in the success of those on the other side of the footlights. Enthusiastic re- sponse to the efforts of the entertain CTS. is the prime necessity. The ap- preciation of last nights High school audience. the bond of friendship and pleasure that wove an intangible thread between the stage and the
 other parts of the hall. was one to
 inspire to best efforts those whose
 task 1t was to speed the clock during
 two hours and a half of sterling en.
 tertainment. And that the young
 women succeeded was testified to by
 the warm applause with which each
 number was greeted.
 It would be difficult to select any certain number on the program as having moro merit than another but premier honors must go to the one act comedy "The KleptonlAniac,' with . cast of seven. Tho plot is woven around the loss by a young society woman of her purse, containing $1OO ] and number of rings, including her engagement ring The efforts of her friends to locate tho missing treasure
 provided laughter galore. The young l woman is certain that her pocket was
 picked while she was attending a re 1 cital and suspicion falls on a woman who sat in an adjoining seat and who picked up her coat when 1t fell tc ! the floor. She furnishes the police

with a detailed description of the suspect and emphasizes the fact that she wore seven gore" skirt. Of course any policeman would know just what this was and should be ex- pected to rush right out and bring in the shivering culprit. To. the horror of all concerned, 1t Is learned that the woman who 10 suspected of tho theft is . distinguished matron. wealthy, of excellent social standing-and ex- pected for lunch. Efforts to call of1 the dogs of the law and to prevent, otherwise. the arrest of the woman with the seven gore skirt afford more laughter. To cap the climax, the purse h found in the coat of the hostGss. Ef <.
 Each member of the cast handled her lines well and there was scarcely . break in the production of the comedy. The setting was above tho ordinary and the action of the piece was smooth. The club is to be con- gratulated on tho ability of it's members. The cast of characters was as follows:
 Mrs. John Burton-Peggy ........
 .................. Grace H. Burns Mrs. Valerie Chase Armsby, young
 widow ........... Grace Flannery Mrs. Charles Dover-Mabel-ab bride
 .............. Estelle M. Waddell Mrs. Preston Ashley-Bertha ...... Marion Wnte Miss Freeda Dixon .... Mary A. Cox Miss Evelyn Evans-a journalist

 Second honors on the program were divided between esthetic and folk dancing on the one part and "Poor Butterfly and Castles in the Air." by a sextet. one the other part. The dancing numbers were executed by Helen Sheehan. Irene Byrne. Pearl Dougan and Olive Ware, in numbers for four people. and Cornelia Hagoun and M. Alma Grove, in numbers for two. The dancing was really 9 reve- lation to many New Britain folk, who were not aware that they had such agile and graceful nymphs in their midst The sextet was composed of Mary Donahue, Mildred Anderson. Katherine Murphy, Estelle M. wad- dell. Astrid Anderson and Frances Brady. The solo part was taken by Mrs. Howard Horton, who was pressed into service at the last moment when 1t vas learned that Miss Marion Egan, who was originally cast for the role, was suffering from tonsilitis. Miss Adele D. Murray gave an in- terpretative Reclamation of The Song of the Shirt by Thomas Hood. ac- companied on the piano by Miss Ioiia M. Littlehales. For an encore she re- cited ".Your Flag and My, Flag ad- dressing the Stars and Stripes which were suspended from the balcony railing.
 Another interesting musical number. was given by Miss Lttlehales, pianist. her program consisting of meditation from "Thais'' by Massenet and tm-> promptu by Chopin. Miss Elsie Knapp proved her cleverness as a reader by telling of the fun she had in an orphan asylum. An encore was demanded and given. Leroy N.
