POLES

Theda Bara, the marvellous sor- ceress of love, whose very motion is seductive, has again been returned to the Poli theatre through insistent de- mand of her many admirers in Bridgeport. She comes this time in a blaze of triumph for she appears as Mime. Du Barry in the great Fox Limitation of that title. In the title role Miss Theda Bara is the charm ing and handsome enchantress of the French kingdom. She is a very pie ture of French history's most daz- zling beauty and powerful adven- turess. She is seen to rise from her lowly surroundings to a world of power which ended only on the gull lotine This is the most forcefu1 of all Miss Bara's attempts at lifelike portrayal. It is said by critics to be a truly wonderful revelation of what femininity may do without the spoken word.

Cured His RUPTURE

I was badly ruptured while lifting trunk several years ago. .D Doctors said my only hope of cure was an opera tion, Trusses did me no good. Final ly I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me: Years have passed and the rupture has never re- turned. although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no opera ton, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full infor- nation about how you may find a complete cure without opera ton, if you write to me. Eugene M.

! The Winter Hat

There is perhaps a more distinct
change in the millinery than in the
dresses. Perhaps it would be bet
ter to say that there is greater indi-
viduality. This does not mean, how
ever, that there is more trimming,
for, if anything, there is less, but
there is more distinction Of shape.
Perhaps size is of first interest; the
small hat that we have been wearing
is so absolutely fitting that it comes
again in many new shapes, but shapes
80 individual that i: is hard to have
them blocked, which of necessity
means that we will have handmade
hats--a happy circumstance for the
home milliner. These small hats may
be turban in shape, inclined to fit
closely, curve out a little on the
sides, and then in at the top. Trico-
tines or irregular shapes are smart.
Ostrich is a good trimming. Satin
antique, velvet, and chenille. as well
as duvetyne, are materials used. The
clever woman could perhaps make
one Of the new toques, or even a
larger hat, by combining the duve-
tyne and satin used in her coat or
d. SIS.

TO the establishment of Peggy and all

At the same time the Rooster
threw aside his costume, and shot
up into the air as tall as a young
giant. Peggy, astonished, saw that
1t was Billy Belgium.
Grab holdw shouted Billy. At
that the bodies of the Golf Clubs, re-
vealed as very active young Frogs,
seized hold of the Balls and held
tight. The Turkey Buzzard tried
to flop into the air. But the gar
land of flowers was a string. This
string was attached to the Golf Ball,
and on it the Frogs were pulling
with all their might, while the sur
priSed Birds ran to their aid. In
moment Billy Belgium had the
Turkey Buzzard by the throat. An
other moment and Turkey Buzzard
was in cage which Billy brought
from behind the shrubbery. In with
him were popped the Pheasant, the

ADVICE TO THE
LOVE-LORN


Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
l am girl 2S years of age. For
nearly 10 years | have been without
a home and have earned my way. l
| worked my way through high school
and finished a two-year course at a
normal school, | do not like teach
ing, however, and thought l should
like to take up journalism. To take
a journalistic cours. it would be
necessary for me to go to some uni
versity for at least three years. AS
I have neither money nor the means
of obtaining any, l have figured out
plan whereby / might work my
way 1t is this: ] will go to Chi
cage, take a business course and
then try to secure a place where
can work and have hours off for
work at Chicago university. But
the trouble here is that l have never
lived in anything but a small town
and know absolutely nothing about
large city. Can you advise me
what to do or suggest some way to
help me? Also give me some idea
of what to do in a large city.
| worked in a country newspaper
Office for two years while in high
school. OF course my work was done
after school and on Saturdays dur
ing the school year. 1t is from this
experience that l get my idea of a
course in journalism. B.
Your letter is very interesting to
me and wish you had signed your
name. Won't you please write me a
personal letter, giving me your ad-
dress, so that l may give you some
entirely personal advice. as I am
sure | can help you. In the first
place, l do not believe a course in
journalism is at all necessary. News
paper work Is the most practical
thing on earth and real experience
on paper where the other men and
women take an interest in you and
help you Is Of much more value than
anything you can learn In school. 1
have plan that l think would be
much better than yours, and If you
will write me will tell you all about
it. Your letter is well written and
shows some signs Of ability and in
dicates that you may have material
for real newspaper woman.

club. Ones that have not been used
by any other clubs?
Also will you tell me what good
books to read to gain good vocabu-
larry? CATHERINE.
l am glad you ind the girls Of
your church are interested in the
patriotic club work and are forming
club. as this is fine work, both for
the girls and t e soldiers stationed
here. l would suggest that you con-
suit the War Camp Community
Service, Tyler 1868, and get the help
and approval Of this organization in
forming your club. Either Miss
Range or Miss Makeel will be glad to
assist you and to help you choose a
name, as they know the names of all
the other clubs now formed, so you
would not be in danger of dupli-
eating any of them. The War Camp
Community Service Is the organiza-
ton recognized by the government
as the head Of all patriotic work of
the civilian population among the
soldiers.
Any good book or standard maya
zine will help you. The Literary
Digest is a splendid magazine for
one who has but little time and yet
wants to keep in touch with art, lit
erature and current events, and the
English is always reliable.

Gift for Soldier,


Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee
What kind of gift would you ad-
wise me to give to a boy going to
war? He is 10 and l am II years
of age. He Is a very good friend
and has taken me out many times
and always showed me a good time
Mother suggested a wrist watch.
Would that be too much?
ANXIOUS.
II you take your mothers advice
you are pretty likely not to make
any mistake AS a general rule,
should think a wrist watch quite a
gift for young girl to give boy,
as you would want to be sure to get
one of standard make, a poor watch
being worse than useless. However,
il your mother is willing and does
not think it too much, you are safe
in giving the present. We may do
things for ldiers that we would not
do for other men, as in making
them happy and contented we are
serving our country.

Duck-a Due scared half out o
her wits, Peggy chung to her bach
as she streaked desperately fol-
shore,
The Duck had been asleep on the
bank when awakened by the wilc
squawking OF Peggy's auto horn
She had dashed out over the lake
just in time to have Peggy come
Pumping down on her back.
The Witch of the Night The
Witch of the Night" shrieked bird
voices above.
She's got me. The Witch has
got me" quacked the Duck in
terror, Up the bank she sped and
through the weeds with a rush that
shook Peggy off. AS the Duck fled
wildly into the night, the Rooster
appeared unexectedly beside Peggy
Are you hurt?" he asked anxious
ly.
NO" said Peggy, I'm just shaken
up bit"
We'll let the enemy think they
have drowned you" was the strange
answer of the Rooster. Come this
way"
He led Peggy through the bushes
and up the hill behind a row of
shrubbery. He stationed her on a
little knoll where hidden by tree
she could see everything happening
on the green without being seen
herself. Then he ran down and
joined the crowd.
The birds were much excited over
the accident.
1T was a lucky accident" croaked
the Turkey Buzzard The Witch
Of the Night was a real witch try
ing to lead you astray. We have
saved you from her. She has been
drowned as she deserved to be. Now
you can have your fun in peace, un-
disturbed by talk of work"
The birds discussed this with loud
chatter. Going around among them
Peggy saw the Pheasant, the squatty
Canary, and the Crows. Peggy
knew how easily her feathered sub
jects could be led astray She feared
the results OF the evil work among
them.
But now there came something
new to distract attention! Out from
the shrubbery came a group of
queer, roLnd-headed creatures,
which Blue Heron pomously an
nounced as THE Beautiful Lost Golf
Balls" They began a dance in the
center of the green, while the birds
gathered around. AS they danced
the birds sang:
eve are lucky Golf Balls
Flying where'er Fate calls,
Whoever with US flirts
VIII get his just deserts"
With that the Lost Golf Balls
danced around the circle, apparently
yeeking partners. Judge Owl Of
fered himself and was rejected. So
was Blue Heron. But when the
Balls came to Turkey Buzzard, to
the Pheasant, to the squatty Canary,
