 been the talk of the town. Tomor-
 row will see an entire change of pro-
 gram, headed by the feature picture
 sensation 'The Better Ole" When
 Captain Bairnsfather created "Old
 Bill" he built surer than he knew.
 The Walrus-m mOustached figure of this
 "Old Contem ptible'' together with his
 satellites Ali and Bert, are part of
 the history of the war. and will
 typlfy for centuries the matchless
 bravery and dauntless good humor of
 the men who saved the world. The
 picture is one of the reigning sen
 sations of the present season and like
 the stage play is enjoying capacity
 business wherever shown. The Bet
 ter Ole'' will positively be seen at
 all performances at the Palace to-
 morrow, Friday and Saturday. Two
 complete shows will be given Satur- day night. The vaudeville bill em- braces 5 headline acts of merit and will be in keeping with the excellent turns that have made the Palace the favorite vaudeville theater The fifth chapter of '"The Liberator" with Ma ciste, will also be seen as will many sm maller reels.

EAREWELE WEEK AT LYCEUNf.

Next week Saturday the Lyceum will close its vaudeville season. The management has therefore arranged for a. monster array of vaudeville tal- ent as an appreciation for the liberal patronage of New Britainites during past season. There will be five man. moth acts on the program for each half week, and not only will they rep resent the best talent obtainable, but the caliber of each will stand out so that any one of the acts can stand out as hea adfner. Especially notable will be the "Seven Bracks" absolutely variety's greatest sure-fire act. This act played Polls Hartford theater last week and it set the town wild The picture bill will vie with the vaud- eville. The feature is a Cecil B. De Mile special entitled, Don't Change Your Husband.' It presents a lively comedy in a delightful manner

 Protests are pouring in from Can ada to Lady Muir Mackenzie's pro posal to send a million and half surplus British women overseas to get husbands.
 One telegram published inquiries; Does she not thiAk k overseas girls may need husbands, too" The in terview of the wife of the Ontario premier disappearing of the scheme. is widely discussed in England.
 Thousands of Am ericans were puH- zled when Britain, i'll extending the franchise to women, set the mini mum age for a woman voter at 30 years instead of 21
 The reason goes right back to the man. shortage. The government thought it advisa bIe to have some thing like a parity between men and women voters. If women were given the vote at 21 there would be thou sands and hundreds of thousands more women voters than men voters. Between the ages of 15 and 40. there are 9,542,655 women to only 4.492,927 men, or almost twice as many marriageable women as men.

Bess Dean, a flame of Q with a single spicy carnation of the same shade stuck carelesSly but most effectively in her wonderful brown hair, made a second determined effort to secure Dicky's exclusive attention, but Alice HoIcombe unobtrusively summoned her to one side, and I saw by the younger girls face that the | older woman was laying down the law in militant fashion.
