 BENEFIT

Mrs Joseph l.. Haucort, dramatic and musical director of the three part production recently given at the Plaza theater and St. Mary's school, announces the presentation of the en- tertafnment once more in this city for a large patriotic benefit. She is making arrangements for the ap- pointment of committee to assist her which will be composed of men and women of all denominations, so that the proceeds of the play may be distributed among all nationaliues as a patriotic benefit.
 Characters in the Land of the Mys- tic Moon and Story Book Ball are re- quested by Mrs. HanCort to report for rehearsal tomorrow morning, al 10 o'clock, at St Mary's hall and those taking part in the minstrel show to be present for rehearsal on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. Their CO., operation in the previous presenta- tions has been so earnest that much of the success was due to their untir- ing efforts during rehearsals with the director in making the play the pret- tiest ever seen. Like an old song that never grows old, so it seems. this delightful play of fairyland will never grow old. and it's repetition will be welcomed by many in the city. Tho rights of the play have been sold by the director to a concern in Hartford where it will soon be presented This will be the last appearance of the play in this city.
 Announcement of date and place of play will be announced in a few days.

CRITICISM OF
 PEACE PACT

London, Thursday, May S-After meeting to consider the terms of peace imposed upon Germany by the Allied and Associated nations. the national executive committee of the British labor party tonight issued a manifesto declaring the treaty in some essential particulars "opposed to the declarations of President Wilson of the Inter-Allied Labor Conference and the Bern conference, and very defec- tive from the standpoint of world peace"
 Tt bears evidence of a compromise by capitalism and imperialism which still dominates European states" the manifesto declared. Any perman- ent denial of Germany Of an oppor- tunity to become a mandatory under the League of Nations mt cause jealousy and unrest leading to further international disputes"
 Other points criticised were the failure to give Germany representa- tion on the reparatOn commission and the omission of provisions for Q un- itation of ornaments by the other sig uatories to the treaty. The marifes- TO protested against the permanent separation of the Saar Basin from Germany and advocated a plebiscite in MaImedia and other contested ter ritories between Belgium and Ger many.

 MT Munsey is one of the foremost
 leaders in this country in directing musical plays and members of tn Art league consider themselves for
 tunate in obtaining his services fol this production, which will he pre- sented under their auspices May F and 14, at the Park theatre.

The New Clothes

It would be easy to spoil a white satin gown by putting a color on it. Those who think that pink or blue sash, a strip of black velvet or a red, red rose must go on a white satin gowa to give it perfection will fail this season if they try out these pro vtncial experiments. She who chooses a white satin frOCk must think of ex- quisite lace or well cut jet as the two forms of permissible ornamention. The jet is newer than the lace. and it provides that striking contrast that ancient Italy sent downward through the ages.

One of the gowns seen recently is in faint rose or white satin, has a draped skirt with the selvage show ing and a bit of a pannier on one hip. The long train is really the back breadth of the gown and shoulders by a harness of jet medallions. The entire costume is definitely oriental except for the extreme brevity of the skirt at the back

Another gown of white satin is pos itively primitive. It hangs in straight line from a round yoke which is made of fine white beads accentuat- ed by triangles formed of large jet medallions from which hang several garlands of white beads. The line of the gown is broken only by a loose. narrow sash, and the tight hem is made of the white beads, the jet tri- angles, and the loops of white beads which clash against the silk stock lngs.
