ETIQUETTE

It is extremely il1-bred to whisper in company.
 At an afternoon wedding, the bride groom wears a black frock coat, or a cut-away coat; a high, double breast ed waistcoat of white pique, or the same material as the coat; gray striped trousers; plain white linen; white or pearl-gray four-in-hand tie; pearl scarf pin; pearl suede gloves; patent leather buttoned shoes; and a boutonniere of the same flower as the brides bouquet A high silk hat is worn with this costume, and the soles of the shoes must be b1ackened, since when you kneel during the cere- mony, they will be exposed to view
 When you go Co the cabaret you should not talk nor dance with any, one with whom you are not acquaint- ed, No matter how many people you may see taking advantage of the hor- rible lack of conventionality which sometimes prevails in such places, do not do it yourself. If you cannot | trust your escort to take you only to places of amusement where you will see nothing objectionable, do not ac- cept any of his invitations.

Moth ing more unique has ever been used as the plot of g. play, than that used in Cheating Cheaters." The moment the curtain goes up on the first act, surprises begin. and then throughout four acts. the audience Is kept in one constant state of suspense, wondering what will come next, until the final curtain. when the entire action of the play is revealed. and you realize that your previous deductions are all wrong and that the ending is difror- ent than you anttcipated.
 During the first act. the audience is made acquainted with clever set of thieves. the said set of thieves be- Ing so large as to give the impression that the author had made use of more than average amount of crooks for the piece, But when the curtain goes up on the second act. yet another set of crooks are introduced. thus mak- ing two gangs of the light fingered gentry

BRIDGEPORT GIRL SEEKING THRILLS IS GOING ABROAD; HILOA AMBLER IN
 CANADA NOW TRAINING AS A NURSE

Unless life can furnish one thrill ing experience after another it is devoid of pleasure to a person so youthful and active and vivacious as pretty Hilda Smith Amber, daugh- Harlem avenue, and because she wants to see life as she thinks it should be, this young woman is going abroad to fight
 Not to fight, in the strict sense of the word, but to aid those who are fighting for the United States, and for the Allies, and, as she puts it, flor the cause of humanity and democ- racy," is what Miss Amber wants to do. And she hopes to accomplish her end through the means of an ambu- lance drivers job. She's trying, this girl, to get across 80 that she may know the joy of mastering a machine carrying wounded soldiers from the firing lines to the hospitals across rough country roads at rate of 60 miles an hour.
 To offer one's life for ones coun- try, however, and to have that offer accepted, Miss Ambler has found, are two distinctly different matters. The local young woman has offered and offered, but each time has been re- jected, and always for the reason that she has not qualified by exhibit ing a diploma proving that she has had three months experience at prac- tical nursing. So now she's proceed ing along a different way.
 Miss Amb1er has gone to Toronto Canada, and on Wednesday morning of this week enters an English base hospital, there, to take the course which will fit her for the service she desires. She simply refuses to be baked in her purpose and intends not to give up until she wins or until the war is over. But now she'll probably attain her goal, and it really remains only to wonder how soon she'll be "Over There"
 The fact that her sympathies have always been with America and the

Nipples make the water and the sky most realistic and even the thatch of the cottage is made from rRshes import ed from Ireland.

British; that she depTores the suffer- ing the war has caused-that she wants to see democracy and human ity safe, and that "everybody's doing it'', influenced Miss Amber almost as much in her determination as did her cravng for excitement. The young woman has met with some interest ing events during her brief career (she's only 20), and she doesn't want them to end here.
 Another thing that caused her to make up her mind to become a sol dier-ette is the fact that she comes of an intensely patriotic family. Her grandfather, the late Judge A. E. Smith. was a Civil War veteran, and all of her family have been active in olner events that have gone to make history. So that it was perfectly natural, when she considered that there was no one else among her kin her to try to do her bit.
 Miss Amber and a friend, Miss Phyllis K Martin, of BrookIine, Mass, thought of going over at the same time, but Miss Martin, forum ately, had completed her nursing course before, and is now at the front, doing service. Her local friends hopes soon to join her.
 Photographs showing Miss Am bier and Miss Martin together in chic army uniforms appear in a re- cent issue of the London (England) Daily Mirror, which arrived in this city today. This same photo has at tracted worldwide attention, and Miss Ambler has received numerous letters from male and female admir- CTS of her likeness.
 The young woman was born in Cheshire, where she lived most of her life. She is a graduate of local business school, and has for the past three years been employed in New York. She recently took part in the action for motion pictures produced by the Fox Film Co.,, and these will soon be shown here.

The child of very poor parents, Rachel was early forced to the task of earning her own living and as a mere child went forth into the streets of Paris to earn her bread by singing to the accompaniment ot a guitar She was still mere slir of a girl when she went upon the stage, and she was soon the idol ot Paris. She was intensely avaricious and money was her god, but to her credit let 1t be said that she was al ways liberal in her treatment of her humble relatives It was after a tour through America that she suffered a physical and nervous collapse and died
