Paris, Feb. 4-Daring Oriental suits of luStruous gold and silver tissues ending in trouser legs, which are held close to the shoe tops by straps, soqne etirnes embroidered in precious stones, passing under the wearer's in step are featured in displays of sum mer models in Partisan modistes' par iors. Some models coyly veil the trousers with fi1ny materials.
 Recent runors that tight facing was to be restored to favor have proved to be erroneous. In fact little, if any, corseting will be needed next sum mer, except by stout women. The length of street dresses being shown is about the same as that most in vogue last fall, but the hem is mar rower.
 Bright textures will appear in many f the most popular creations, and
 'tterned materials will be featured

 ON THURSDAY Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars at the High School
 February 5.

It has been announced that because
 of the Inability of Admiral Bacon to
 appear on the program for the next High school lecture on February 5,
 that Francis Wilson, the actor, would
 take his place. Atelegran has just
 been received stating that MT. Wilson
 is seriously i'll so that the lecture committee has Substituted the lecture
 by Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars who was
 scheduled to appear on March 4. Dr.
 Ditmar has spent his life in animal research work and will take as the intensely interesting subject Mental Traits in the Animal World'. In con nection with the lecture will be the moving pictures which Dr. Ditmars
 has taken This film had the longest run of any motion picture in New York City having held a place on the
 Strand Theatre program for 10 months.
 For a, number of years pr. Dit mars has been connected with the New York Geological Institution. He will give to the public of Bridgeport a most wonerfu1 and interesting mes sage on wild animal life. Startling facts concerning animal, reptiles and insects, will be disclosed by the lec- turer.
 This is the only real motion pie ture lecture on the entire course program. This picture is making a very fine name for rrseH. It has
 been shown in nearly every large city
 of the United States.
 Many marvellous things are shown
 in the picture. One in particular is
 the large man-eating elephant Gun da". sFGunda'' has devoured a number of his keepers. The r-ccure shows
 Dr. Ditmars feeding and betting the
 animal He explained that the ami
 nal, who has an enormous appetite,
 had been previously fed and received
 such an amount of food that he
 could scarcely take more. Another
 reel shows the katydid. Tbe picture was taken upon the microscope. A powerful search light and arc light were centred on the insect and by this means the audience is able to see
 just how and where the katydid' s song comes from. The reel shows
 animals of the jungle and their var
 ious antics, reptiles, some of the most
 dangerous species of the snake and
 various stages of monkey life. One
 of the most interesting things is the
 picture which Dr. Ditmars terms his
 animal circus. In it are shown many
 different animals performing tricks
 The late Theodore Roosevelt after
 seeing the picture said: ''It is genu- inely refreshing to come upon a work
 like yours.'
