Tess of the Storm Country has scored wonderful success as pre- sented by the popular Pou Players at the Lyric and there is little doubt but that they will play to crowded houses during the balance of the week. The play has created furore wherever played and Bridgeport is no exceD- tloh. Record audiences greeted the production at every performance.

TAKE PRIDE IN UMBRELLAS
Fall to Carry Then, on Sundays, Rain or Shine.

Riding along through France on a Sunday in these times, one is reason ably certain to meet many Chinamen under umbrellas.
 They mostly hail from Indo-C China. The French imported them by thou sands for service in the labor battal- ions behind the lines. During the week, dressed In nondescript mixtures of native garb and cast-of uniforms, they work at road mending or at ditch digging or at truck loading jobs.
 On Sundays they dress themselves up in their best clothes and stroll about tue countryside. Ands rain or shine, each one brings along with him his treasured umbrella and carries 1t unfurled above hls proud head. It never is q Chinese umbrella, either, but invariably q cheap black affair Of local manufacture.
 Go into one of the barracks where these yellow men are housed, and at the head of each bunk there hangs 6 black umbrella, which the owner guards as his most darling possession. If he dies I suppose 1t is buried with him.
 Nobody knows why every Sunday the Chinaman sports an umbrella, un- less 1t be that in his Oriental mind he has figured It out that possession of such a thing stamps him as person of travel and culture, who, like any true cosmopolitan, is destrous of con forming to the custom of the country to which he has been transported. A Frenchman, if careless, may leave his umbrella behind when he goes forth for a promenade; 6 Chinaman never doeS.-Irvin S. Cobb in Saturday Eve ming Post.

Open AVoWal.

There is one family in Washington that has a Germanic name. There are many more families with cognomens smacking of Teutonic extraction, of course.
 This particular family has a very little boy tn it, who, in playing with the other boys of the nelghborhood, has been gibed more or less on ac- count of his name. The battles are small affairs, of course, since the par ticipants are very small.
 Perhaps the young man saw the fu. tility of war. Perhaps he is a phi. losopher. Anyway, his latest reply speaks of genius.

 There Is a program of widely dI- versitied entertainml nt at Polls the last half of the week, every number of the bill providing amusement. The photoplay features, too, are unusual and we'll worth seeing.
 Three Canadian soldiers who are veterans of Ypres and other cam dlgns in Belgium are seen in the headline offering, an oddity of the trenches called Billet 13." Under the rumble of the guns these sol dlers show how they m-la the best of trench life, and there is humor and pathos in their cleverIy conceiv- ed and capabIy handled offering.
 The Silver K:ng," dramatic story of real morIt, is the photoplay feature. Starred in this piece is William Naversham, the legitimate actor, and he is supported by a most capable cast. The Pathe News, with It's review of current events, Is an- other pleasing film attraction.
 Lillian Herlein, a charming come dlenne, sings several cong numbers. Mp and Tuck, those eccentric com 4cS' TOT years faVorites in vaudeville, are Just as entertaining as ever with their acrobatic novelty.
 The Four Ortons, sensational wire artists, scored a real hit with a tight wire act that was breath-taking. The Duke of Duck" helped out with the fun.

LEAVES J. s. TO
 JOIN BERNHARD7
Beverly sitgreaves, Az grieved, Says She Never
 Will Return.

New York, Feb. 7.---Beverley Sit greaveT who has long been a well Known actress on the New York stage, is leaving today for France with Ia Lorraine. She goes in an- swer to two invitations Sarah Bern hardt has sent to her. She will be Mime. Bernhardt's guest and Wd' act with her in productions which the French actress contemplates at her Paris theatre.
 The most interesting feature of my trip" Miss sitgreaves said, "at least to me, is the fact that I am not con- ing back. don't say that I shall be always in France. There is England for instance, and after a while I may go there. But one thing is settled. I am never to return to this country. My experiences in the last two years have convinced me that I am altogether forgotten here after T-7v long service. But there is a reason for that. I feel shall never recover here from the -eatment I received in connection w-.h the American pro- duction of Lavedan's Service"
 This is the patriotic drama of Henri Davedan, in which Harrison Grey F1ske last spring presented Mrs. t1ske at the Cohan theatre. Miss Sit greaves had acted the role of the heroine in the first production, but Mrs. Fiske took her place in New York.
 "Of course after I was taken out of the cast when I lad been so long an- nounced as the heroine" Miss Sit greaves said yesterday, ''it was a great reflection on my artistic stand ing. In addition to that disadvantage l have learned that I was taken to Baltimore to play the piece merely in order that Mrs. Ffske might see the play and decide whether or not she wanted to act the leading part.
 Of course this sort of treatment was sufficient to try the patience of any actress. The fact that 'Service' did not draw here is no reflection on the original drama oe MT. I.avedan That cannot be said to have been acted at an.'
 Miss Sitgreaves has not been seen on the stage here since her apneer- ance in the Baltimore production ot Service" The play ran here for less than two weeks
 Just as I had about begun +o rea1- lAe that my own countrywide man. agefs and not the prblic---had forgot ten me, there came. fortunately Nine Bernhaudt's invitation to join her in Paris, and there I shall stay" Miss Sitgreaves,s must recent s,,c. cess was with Leo D4trfchstein in 'Ehs Great Lover"

 The easiest way to see d1ffrent part of the werld is by travelling. Menz people who are good in JoggTiffy al sllool stay home all the rest of thei. lives and even forget ware the diff rent rivers go after they start, wilC other people who get bad marks iT joggriffy travel all over the werld af- ter they leeve skool and then como back and tell you their experiences and all you can do is stand there ana lissen on account of not having tray elled enuff to deny enything.
 The most populer may to travel by wattir is in 8 boat, the creef ubjec- tion being that if you get sea sick you don't feel like injoying even the most bewtdfiIl sites. Most people who have they will get sea sick, but that's ony wat they don't think.
 The cheapest way to travel is tc wawk, ony by the time you got very far you would be too tired to appre, ciate 1t. Besides, you're libel to get cawt in the rain out in the country some place ware there aint eny aw- nings.

Material for Pavinq Bricks,

The slag of British blast furnaces contains 26 per cent of silica and p of aIumina and makes excellent paving bricks of stony texture; but bricks from American slag, which has 34 per cent of silica and 14 of alumina, are glassy and brittle. The American bricks quickly solidify in a thin outer skin. In the process patented by J. B. Shaw a product of improved texture is obtained by immersing the hot bricks In red hot sand and cooling slowly for twelve to eighteen hours, to solidify the interior as rapidly as the outside.

HOW WOMEN HAVE ADVANCED
Interesting Now to Recall Their Status in Great Britain Less
 Than a Century Ago.

Should women be whipped?
 Just a century ago wiseacres, poli- ticians and noble lords of Great Brit ain were debating the point. It was quite a new idea to worry about what was happening to women, but after some discussion 1t was decided that they ought not to be whipped-that the best way to handle them was on the "gentle-but-frm" method-and in 1920 the wiseacres, politicians and noble lords passed a bill known as the whipping act, prohibiting the cor poral punishment of women.
 Having made this exertion on wom- en's behalf they returned to the dis cussion of things which interested them.
 Fifty years passed. The seed which had been planted in 1920 began to take root in 1870, and the question of special legislation for women again bobbed up. This time an act was passed allowing women to be posses sors of their own prOperty-a mag unanimous document known as the married women's property act.
 Those two acts, small in themselves, were of great portent to women. They were the first admission that women had any rights or legal status.
 In the last fifty years women have come to the foreground in leaps and bounds. By the interpretation act of 1889 the government went so far as to allow that words in any act of parliament passed after 1850 lmputing the masculine gender shall include females unless the contrary intention appears. rs."-London Mail.
