Wraps continue to hold a most i'm portant position in the late spring Showings. and are distinguished by an elaborateness in line and embeI- Hshment which is quite a new thing for such summer garments.
 Satin coats, which came out so strongly in the early part of the sea son, now have rivals in creations Of woolen f-LricS of soft and delicate texture and woven in varied artistic designs. One exceptionally odd and beautiful material which has just come over from Paris is called Perl laine- It is of diagonal weaves with tiny woolen balls resem bling beads woven into the body of the fabric and scattered at regular intervals in con trasting coIors to the surface which comes in many variations of dull col orS.
 Swinging garments there are of cape modes, but carrying the strai ght coat lines. with wide bottoms and drop shoulder seams. Others have semi-ftted styles and unique tunic sec tionS. Pockets come in many of the what different from those of the past season. One mod~I shows an extend- ed pocket on one side, and balancinS g drapery on the other.
 Callot has just sent over some wraps of the loose unbelted order. almost of the slip-into type. with odd and in many cases coIarIess, necklines
 In regard to the question as to whether the coats should be belted or unbelted, there seems to be a diver sity of opinion, and many of the mod els are offered so styled that they may be worn with or without belts The young girl has received un- usual attention this year. and many unusually elaborate and dainty wrap are being shown for her use.

Here's another "Ouestion-Mark Lady. This one will be easy to guess for the Amusement Editor has decid- ed to help you in guessing by giving you her name in private life, which is Mrs Paul Armstrong.
 Now. what is her SCREEN NAME?
 She has been on the screen in Bridgeport many times. although she has been starred by Vitagraph only lately. Her last appearance here was in Dead Men Tell No Tales" which appeared at Polls theatre.
 Mrs Armstrong has had a hard husband was Paul Thom pson, the noted playwright, and she appeared on the stage in a number of his plays notably Brown of Harvard" and The Deep Purple,'' in which she scored a splendid success. After MT. Thompson's death, she found herself deeply in debt. with a baby son to support. So she went into the movies made good al once. and has succeeded in paying off all her debts and assur- ing herself and young son of finan- cia1 independence.
 Her screen successes have been "A Romance of the Underworld Mar 'riage." "Out of the Night The Career of Catherine Bush,'' "A Mar riage of Convenience" and Fires of Heart of Maryland,'' in which she plays the title role. This is consid- cred the best she has ever done.

Same HcPe'

Last night after supper, I picked up the Times; Turned to the amusement page, and read all the rhymes. After I'd finished, I decided to go, With my little sweetheart, down town to a show Now the vaudeville was good, and the pictures were fine, But the old garlic snashers were right there in line. For the odor of garlic my girl didn't care, She was tickIed to death, when we had taken the air It was a relief to get out under the skies, And that old Garlic Pest, I do surely despise!

When the buyer comes ir to purchase the cloth, he buys the better bolt, pays for it; buys the poorer bolt at a quarter rate, and does NOT pay for it. THEN, he goes away, leaving the money for the first bolt on the table. taking neither of his purchases with him.

4 Lasting Fragrance.

One night as I sat in the Plaza, One night as I sat in a seat, smelled something very familiar. And I'm sure it didn't smell sweet. But at that I was mistaken; It was the Pest and his garlic so neat T met the Pest and that I know Several nights at the picture show; I must confess from that date. I smell the garlic that he ate.

Find a Way,

Find a Way! 'Shr1H laughter loudly echoed. ''The Kid'' made all hands smile But garlic odor stopped it as a guy strolled down the aiSle He took seat right next to mine, the odor then did wait, Around my nostrils and my eyes and almost drove me daft. His breath smelled just like sun baked fish or famer'S fertilizer And he could spread it far and wide, just like an atomizer Compared to him the city dump smells just like fragrant roses And every time he breathed while there, the people grabbed their noses. If we could only find way to make him smell his breath I'm sure his love for garlic then would die a sudden deathI
