ST. COLETTE

St. Co1ette, after holy childhood, joined a society of devout women call ed the Beguines; but not finding their order sufficiently austere, she entered the Third Order of St. Francis, and lived in a hut near her parish church of Corbie in Picardy, France. It is re- lated of her that, after spending four years of extraordinary penance in the hut, St. Francis appeared to her in a vision and bade her undertake the reform of her Order, which had grown lax. St. Coletto undertook this great task and, despite great opposi- tion, founded seventeen convents of strict observance. By her remarkable prudence she is said to have assisted in settling a great controversy which threatened to disrupt the Roman Catholic church. The ecc1esiastics in session at Constaboe were in doubt how to deal with the three claim ants to the papal throne. These claimants were John XXIII., Bene- dict KILL, and Gregory XII. At this crisis Colette, together with St. Vim cent Ferrer, wrote to the council to depose Benedict XIII, who alone re- fused to consent to a new election.
 This was done and Martin V, was elected. Colette equally assisted the Council of Basic. She died iM 1747.

ETIQUETTE

For table service a tray should rot be used excepting when the maid is passing one or two small articles, such as sugar, bowl and cream pitcher, or oil and vinegar cruets.
 Engaged: think you would make a serious mistake to marry the young man without first having met his family. Every engaged girl should visit in the home of her f1ance, if his people live at a distance, before the date of the wedding is fixed, just as every young man about to marry should become we'll &C., quainted with the family of his pros pective wife. The family background sometimes makes a great difference in the aspect of the case and in the attra actfveness of the loved one; and ones peop1e-in-law are ever after in too close association and have too many claims to be Ignored if they happen to be undesirable. An en- gagged young man should not call three times week.

EMPIRE

Julian E1tinge. the clever feminine fmpersonator, who for the past few years has been the sensation of the theatrical world, had many strange and amusing experiences in making his first photoplay which he made for Paramount. This Is '"The Countess Charming" written by Carolyn Wells and Gelett Burgess. 'The Countess Charming will be shown at the Elm pire theatre today, tomorrow and Saturday.
 MT. Eltinge, being accustomed to the shelter of the theatre, at first could not be induced to walk out into the open air in broad daylight clad in a woman's evening gown. The first day in the %"set, Donald Crisp, the director, was waiting and MT Eltinge had been. notified that he was to wear a ball gown.
 Ths dressing room was some 200 feet from the portion of the studio where the set was built Mir. Crisp called him fto come over. .3Mr. El- finge stuck a carefully coiffed head out of the dressing room window, re- moved a pipe from his mouth and said: Mot on your life. I wouldn't walk across that place in this get-up for a million dollars
 But after the novelty wore off it was nothing to see the star walking care lessiy around the studio. pipe in mouth and dainty skirts wrapped high around him, calling on some of the other Paramount stars or watch fng them work.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
 It's Easy-If You Know Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets

; The secret of keeping young is to feel young - to do this you must watch your liver and bowels = there's no need of having sallow complexion = dark rings under your eyes = pimples - bilious look in your face = dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from in- active bowels and liver.
 Dr: Edwards, a well-known physician an Ohio, perfected vegetable conn pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.
 Dr: Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi- ute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clear ing the system of impurities.

Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in the United church there will be a patriotic concert under the auspices of Mary Silliman chapter, D. A. R. The purpose of this concert Is to add to the fund that the National Society Of the D. A. R., is raising for the reconstruction of a French town. It Is expected that enough money will be raised to aid the 400 families in the town to have their homes again. It will be an entirely patriotic pro- gram and Mrs. Lealia Joel Hu1se, and Mrs Robert Hard will sing, and Mrs. Elmer Beardsley is to play. There will also be a patriotic pageant.
 The great importance of safe- gard1ng the morals and health of our men who are going across was em- phasized by A. s. Riggs, F. R. G. S., who addressed the Chamber of Com- merce at a luncheon at The Stratfield yesterday noon. MT. Riggs has just returned from Italy and knows whereof he speaks. He laid stress on, the great bravery shown by the Ita1. ian troops and asserted that the Allies had not given the Italians the soppoAe IileS s1iou1d nave nad. The manner in which the Italians handled the spies they discovered in their country was commended and he sug. gested it might be wise to follow the same ideas in this country He pre- dicted the collapse of the whole Ger man machine before very long and looks for the first reaction from the German merchants who realize the fact that ruin is staring them in the face.

"EvE's DAUGHTER" NOW BEING PLAYED I BY GRACE GEORGE, TO BE PARAMOUNT
 STARRING VEHICLE FOR BILLIE BURKE

will be surrounded by a capable con1- pany of players and with a product- ion of the most sumptous character.
 In it's review of the play, the Dram-i atic Mirror, said; '"The fortress of 'Eve's Daughter is it's close proximity to truth.'' This may, perhaps be taken as the keynote of the piece, for 1t ia of such calibre that it can be easily understood and yet, by it's very faiths fitness to life, compel the admiration and applause of the spectator. It offers an example of the feminfne eb1ack sheep who follows the prim- rose path almost to it's bitter end.
 But the ending, in this instance. is sunny, after a period of repentance and remorse for the wayward but innocent heroine. There is much delicious comedy, much dramatic force and withal a play that will ap- peal to any intelligent audiences It will afford according to the estimates of those who have read the scenario and seen the play, a role that should enable Billie Burke, to repeat her recent screen triumphs in seThe Mys- terious Miss Terry' and Arms and the Girl" and which it is confidently expected she will again achieve in sThe Land of Promise" soon to be released

SEX UNITS WOMEN FOR WAR

Woman is unfitted mentally and spiritually for destruction. Her work is creative. She is by nature dedica- ted to the cause of conservation. and. therefore, she does not fit into the scheme of war except, perhaps. as her life conserving work in the hospitals may enable her to lessen and not in crease the destructiveness of the con- flict. To
 But even beyond these considera- -tions there is the still more inexorab1e fact that their very sex units women for the perils of the battlefield
 The news report that each one of the women of the Legion of Death carries with her a poison potion, q little bottle of cyanide of potassium, strikes the very keynote of the argu- ment. In other words, women should not go to war because they have ,Eore to lose in doing so than their broth CTS. Either they may have to lose what is more than life, or find that the losing of life is the only alterna- tive.
 When an army of men is out gen eraled, overpowered, defeated, the men are taken prisoners. They are thenceforth taken care of. But the excruciating horror, of women at war is found in the very fact that they cannot permit themselves to be taken prisoners We know what the psy- chic conditions of warfare are. We know what human nature is, i'll its masculine manifestation. We know that under conditions of war there is a relaxation of all the inhibitions which have been developed through centuries of civilized life. The very readiness kill and the actual prac- tice of killing involves a return of the most primitive of human. impulses and passions.
 Consequently, can any one fail to see just what would happen in h. case, of. a group of women taken as prisoners of war by an army of men ? There is no doubt as to what would happen. The Russian women in Il !" Legion of Death know, and that is why each one is equipped with the little bottle of cyanide of potassium.
 It is all too horrible to contemplate There Is no basis in Nature for wo- men participating in war. There is no justice Tn laying upon thene the. burden of entering into a conflict tf z deadlfness of which must necessa riI'
 be so much greater than in the fight ing of men.
