VIRGINIA PEARSON
 AT FOX'S TONIGHT

J7oN'S program today is one of the best all-around bills seen in 8 long time-Virginia Pearson in The Fire brand, a five part Fox photopIay, episode number seven of The Woman in the Web, Mutt and Jeff, and two screamingly funny Universal come- dies.
 The Firebrand shows Russia of to- day. It gives an idea how Russia has been betrayed and how her real people are working to save her from the clutches of her enemies. Miss Pearson as the Princess NataIya is a real aristocrat but when she learns that her brother has been killed in battle through the treachery of some Of her relatives she joins the revolu- honists and fights valiantly for her country's freedom. She falls in love with an American writer of Russian family. He is a revolutionist. Then she hates him because he kills her uncle, but when he proves that her uncle was the arch traitor who caused the death of her brother by furnish ing the troops with bullets that did not fit the guns, she becomes a veri- table "Firebrand'' of the revolt against these despicable traitors And III IIle enu Slle fnaTIleS the r6VOlutlOn- ist. This is a very stirring drama and in it Miss Pearson does some excellent emotional acting.
 The attraction at Fox's tomorrow evening is Viola Dana, in ''The Night Riders" a five act Metro drama of Kentucky and the blue grass. - Mondays attraction will be the world famous Irene Castle, widow of the late heroic Vernon Castle, in "Convict 993,' a play unsurpassed for mystery, action and suspense. She is supported by Warner Gland and Bert Starkey, famed in "Thc Fatal Ring" Commencing Monday Fox's theater will open at D. m., the per formance beginning at 7:20 and the feature picture will be screened each evening about 8:30. Thus patrons who wish to enjoy the twilight out of doors may still do so and yet come to Fox's and still enjoy two hour per formance.

course, but it took moral courage, the sort of courage that makes a man brave enough to march in g. suffrage parade or to knit for the soldiers, or a woman brave enough to wear a last years hat to have more to give to the Red Cross.
 I'll wager there are millions Of people who have to plan and con trive every day of their lives. and yet who have never frankly said of anything they were doing without, T can't afford it. .--
 Tho Reasons They Give.
 Instead they assign one reason or another. They go without g. maid because they can't bear to have g. maid handling their nice things, they stay in the city instead of go- ing to the country this year because, after all. one is moro comfortable in ones own home in the hot weather, they don't get a new hat because the styles are so hideous this year, etc. etc.
 And the irony of it is that no one is deceived by this ostrichian pro ceeding.
 Why is it that lack of not having the money to do anything should Ill ake. us ashamed? There is noth- ing disgraceful in not having money. On the contrary it is sometimes a badge of honor. ...

 She needn't have given that second explanation. The fact that he did rot know till the last minute that he was coming on that train would have suff1ced as an explanation. And nine people out of ten would have stopped there.
 And because she was the tenth, brave enough and honest enough to go on and say the equivalent of those dreadful words. We cant afford it. I felt a thrill of respect go through me something like that thrill ono feels when one reads of coura- geous deeds.

CAN REMAIN YOUNG
 IF YOU KNOW HOW

Women who are approaching the m meridian of life and dread the thoughts of gray hair and wrinkles will be interested in "A Mothers Secret" at Keeney's theater, because the photoplay to large degree gives the solution of overcoming the buga- boo. It is a regular lecture to wom- en on "the way to keep youthful" and the advice is built around the character of a woman who visualizes the part of the mother of Ella Hall, the star of the production.
 So successful does the middle-aged woman keep away the gray hair and the wrinkles that she is taken for the sister of her seventeen-year-old daughter, and the daughter is forced to wear abbreviated costumes to ac- centuate the difference between youth and age. Women all over the cour- try have flocked to see the picture to obtain the secret of remaining young.

PADS AND FASHIONS

A polka-dotted foulard with over dress of blue chiffon makes a dress of dreamy charm.
 A black evening gown may have White embroidered lingerie and white net combined in it.
 Plaid and fancy velour are very fashionable for sports coats. X
 Loose hanging back panels are in evidence on black satin frocks.
 White tulle made over black sat in underlining is attractive.
 Jersey silk is used in making some very smart daytime frocks.
 A suit is absolutely nothing with out its little shirt frill showing.
 If your parasol has a checked bor- 4 der, tie ribbon to match around the crown of your hat.
 Sports skirts are p1eated or cut perfectly plain, but they are almost vcertain to have pockets.
 There are some very full and fluffy . summer dresses in spite of the fash Ss ionable straight lines.
 Peplum blouses are much liked and so are Cossack and other styles that are worn outside the skirt.
 The cretonne knitting bag is not so much in favor, smart women carry their knitting in large leather hand bags.
 A gray silk frock is made attractive with a girdle of green.
 Low heels for women's shoes are more and more in demand.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Never use vanilla as favoring in food for sick people.
 Rice and barley flour can be very well used for pastry.
 Use as few appliances in the kitch- en as possible, but be sure that each of them Is really labor saving
 A great many wild fruits should be utilized this summer-beech- -plums, choke-berres, elderberries and wild gooseberries.
 Remembr to use butter on the ta- ble, but not in cooking and that cream is to be regarded as a food and not as luxury.
 Blue is the most quieting color to use in a room for the person whose nerves are highly strung, and green (pure and cooD comes next.
 A delicious sauce for lamb is made with currant jelly broken up and mixed with finely chopped mint leaves and a few shavings of orange peel.
 A bit of butter put into the top of the apples before they are baked will give them richer flavor.
 Old carpets and old clothes, con verted into rugs, are worth much more than when sold to the ragman.
 Food put into the oven to warm is often forgotten and goes to waste. To avoid this set the alarm clock.
 If you have gay painted furniture in bedroom be sure to have the background of a soft neutral tint.
 Cotton crepe is a good material for childrens underwear, because it does not require careful laundering.
New Britain herald., 1918-06-08

When furnishing a room it is well to remember that if the curtains are figured, the rug should be a pla1n, solid color; if both the curtains and the rug are figured, the effect will be unrestful.
