Women With Mustachss.

The Anus, aboriginal race Of ia
pan, live In the island Of Yeddo, al
though the race has become SO reduced
that there are now not more than
10000 or 1900 of them left in the
country. The most noticeable peculiar
lty about Ainu women is that they
have tattooed upon their upper and
lower lips what resembles mustache.
The women are not considered attrac-
tive, and their matrimonial prospects
are quite injured without this decora-
tion. The mustache is begun when the
girl is quite child. 1t is done grad
ually, a little each year, until 1t ex-
tends partly across the cheek, the ma
terial used being the SCOT from burning
birch bark. Tile face is cut and the
black rubbed in. Afterward 1t is
washed In a solution Of ash bark liquor
to dx the color.

LYRIC

Lovers of the old fashioned, inter- spersed with a bit of the modern, are finding Quincy Adam Sawyer at the Lyric this week, to be one of the most entertaining plays that has been presented in Bridgeport. There are so many funny situations, that to pick one, is beyond power, but as many people have said, give me one good laugh in any show and will feel that l have had my moneys worth, they will find that they will receive many times their moneys worth in laughs alone. To see Edith Spencer come flying out of barn door, propelled by the hind foot of a COW, of forty centineter power, is riot in itself. "QuincySAd Sawyer will remain in the hearts of people for years to come and will go down in history with "Jnole Toms Cabin."
 The programme for the 'kfddie" matinee will be announced tomorrow, the ladies in charge of selecting the pictures are viewing the best, produc- tions in New York, in order that the pictures will be of the highest class for children.
 Though the war loans have caused us all to think in millions, instead of dollars, next weeks production His Last Dollar" will draw big crowds as most people. have a curious streak in them, and to, see what a man does when he is down to his last dollar, is bound to prove attractive.

THE STRAND

The greatest cinematographic pro- duction of the day is Jack and the Beansta1k,'' which will be shown at the Strand theatre today, tomorrow and Friday
 Jack and the Beanstalk'' has been adapted to the screen in reels of the best pictures you have seen for sometime. At first thought. the grown-ups will say, well, this is for the kids" It is and a better kiddie feature has never been. But the man or woman who does not enjoy every scene in this marvel of the screen, has entirely forgotten that once upon a time the giant, Blunder- bore, and little Jack, were as real to their minds as their fri, nds of to- day. In viewing this picture you will live again the days in the nurs- cry and even after you had left the nursery. Is there a child whose youthful brain has not Teen melted to dream wonderful dreams of great things, by revelation of the doings of Jack and Blunderbore? The management of the Strand theatre does not think there is. Nor does he think that there is a man or wo- man who will come to see this won derfu production. which took more than a year to make ready for the screen, and will leave disappointed The character of Jack is presented by remarkable little actor, Francis Carpenter; the character of the prin- cess by remarkable little actress, Virginia Lee Corbin. They are truly, wonders Seasoned actors or actresses would have found it difficult task to express the emotions that these children express. Neither one is more than six years of age, yet both handle difficult roles with the artistry of men and women of recognized ability be- fore the camera. This little ir1 is wonder The giant, is in reality giant in stature, towering over eight feet. He is a monster. There are hundreds of children in the cast.

You need not be ''at home" Oftener than once a month unless you wish to do so, and in the smaller cities this is quite enough. It is a nice custom to set aside a day for receiving visitors and a very convenient one for both caller and hostess.

CASINO BALL

Every soldier and sailor, whether in the regular, the national army or the Naval Reserve forces, has been invited free of charge to attend the carnival of dance and superb splen- .1ors which opens at the Casino tonight and continues with matinee and even ing novelties until Sunday.
 This decision was reached last night at meeting of the joint committee from the four Bridgeport lodges of the International Association of Maehin- ists, which is holding the carnival for the purpose of obtaining funds with which to erect a new office and meet ing hall of their own.
 An evening of pure delight is assur- ed, because of the enthusiasm which has prevailed among machinists and in fact through all labor ranks at the class of professional carnival enter tainment and sports provided.
 On Saturday, it is announced by the reception committee, Perry's Singing orchestra has been engaged for a gala. night closing dance.

EMPIRE

From poverty and obscurity to a royal throne is a far jump for an American youth. And when the pre- tender to the throne objects to his occupancy and hires assassins to re- move the new monarch, who is a de- termined and athletic young man, there is apt to be considerable ex- citen1ent. This is one of the threads of the new Aircraft photoplay by Douglas Fairbanks, Reaching for the Moon," shown for the last time today at the Empire theatre. which teens with sensational incidents and laugh able comedy.
 Tn staging this photop1ay Aircraft has gone to extreme limits, and the popular Fairbanks must have experi- enced strenuous time, for in some of the scenes he is handled very roughly. How he really escaped with his life is one of the studio secrets.

 Paris, especially the house of Pre- met, is favoring the one-sided effect. Collars are sone-sided. The corsa ge and the coat close at one side, and, imagine it, one sleeve is often set into, a higher shoulder line than the other. The spiral skirt is another Premet creation. It is made of one length of material, the selvage form ing the hem, wound about the body to lap at one side.
