PLAZA

x Wormwood's famous Monkey Ac-
tors headline the Plaza bill for the
first half OF the current week and
there'n be ''monkey-shines" aplenty
with the usual quorum OF laughs and
a lot more for good measure when
these highly trained dumb creatures
go through thtir series Of stunts.
You can train monkey to do al
most anything and you can bring out
almost human intelligence in his
tricks but YOU can't make him do it
the same at every performance no
matter how you try. A monkey, es-
pecially trained one. has a keen
sense Of humor and he'll use it when
ever the opportunity presents itself.
Mr.. NORWOOD has devoted his life
to the scientific training of these hui
rnan-lfke actors and his troupe is a
glorious credit to his skill for they

culiar closeness that comes from feel
ing that one Is walking on ones own
land that the earth itself there is
ones owns all part of a country
home.
In the building or the remodel1ing
of house, to make home in. the
country, so little may make it a last
ing charm in the general scheme, so
little may lose this charm. Every de-
tail should be considered to make the
house harmonize with its special needs,
to take advantage of every possibility
of situation and environment. Graci-
BUSINESS and generous hospitality
should find expression in all of the
many outer aspects and on the in
side OF sweet cheer and comfort OF
happy realization. 1t is not a mere
matter ofecost, but the sympathy,
skill, spirit and unity inspiring the
building of house that will make
it the finest setting for real home,
a country home.

MANY ELECTRICAL
SIGNS DARKENED
SEVERAL HOURS

Thre was a more general obedience
last night to the order Of the National
fuel administrator cutting down the
hours for use Of electric display signs,
and In most instances, in this city
signs were illuminated only during
the hours allowed. There were some
vfolators Of the order, however, and
If they continue to disobey they will
be reported to the state administrator
at Hartford
There Is still some misunderstand-
ing as to the effect of the order, and
to whom 1t may apply. which perhaps
accounts for the neglect TO obey the
ruling. Most Of the big advertising
signs were dark during the forbidden
hours, some Of the theatres, and many
OF the stores. Some others, however,
had the lights flashing long before the
permissible hour. and SOME restaur-
ants which keep open air night kept
the signs flashing.
+ Thomas W. Russell Of Hartford,
state fuel administrator. holds that
the publication of the order in the
newspapers is sufficient notice to those
to whom it applies.

HOME IN COUNTRY
MEANS RELAXING
TENSION OF LIFE.

When the feel Of the spring is in the
air. and the grass in the parks puts
forth furtively its first tiny blades Of
greenness, and the trees show that
they are really alive again, and the
sun gets up earlier in the morning
and goes to bed later, when the joy
GUS twitter of the birds and even the
shadows have a new softness, and
there's a new glow and warmth in all
things, it is then that the heart OF
the cfty-man turns, with tenderness
and longing, to his real home in the
country.
He realizes then, that it is in the
country he really lives and that his
town house has become to him, more
ana more, a place where he and his
family stay during the winter, a place
OF convenience and of necessities as
sociated with business, education, So
cial engagements and duties. AS the
years go by, he notices a tendency to
go to the country earlier and to stay
later, for June is such a delightful
month. with its. perfume and roses,
and the crisp, cool days of late Octo-
Der have freshness and sparkle that
give glad, free boldness to his step
as he walks briskly through the
woods.
The country home means relaxing
from the tension of life as we know it
in the city, where, for the most part,
carried on by the pressure of fnsistent
duties we must do, there seems little
time for the things one most ardently
wishes to accomplish In the country
home. with fewer artificial dfstrac-
tions, there seems leisure for simpler
hospitality, and a general freer spirit
of living, for the reading of books
one really tries to read in town, for
ones own music which has been nut
aside because one has had to listen to
the music of others at the opera and
at concert.
The country home means an out
door life, for many hours of every day,
of direct communion with nature in
stead of speaking with her through
an interpreter in even the best of the
nature books. There Is the glory of
sunset behind the hills, where the
royal coloring of the western sky is
seen with proper distance. and the ex-
panse of view is one rarely to be had
in the city for lack of proper vantage
ground for observation. There is a. new
sense of reverence for the infinite in
the majesty and wonder of revelation
of summer sky at,night with fits mill
lions of stars, a tremendous sweep
of uninterrupted vision.
There is suggestion of the joy of
creation in saying There will I plant
a tree where one has never grown be-
fore, or that patch of barren land will
blossom into a garden of beauty and
perfume under my inspiration. or a
lake will fiji that hollow in the hills,
because it will mean my realization of
a dream of years. All this means
much to the man or woman who sees
the bfgness and broadness of life in
it's true spirit.
To step into ones own garden of
weetness when the day is gently dusk
ing into night, to know the flowers
and the birds and to be Gained by the
quiet plash of the fountain. to feel that
special kinship with nature, that pe-
