PUTNAM BANKS CAIN IN
 STRENGTH IN PAST YEAR

The year 1920 was not marked by any unusual event in banking circles in this city. Up to June new high records of amount of business being handled con- tinued to be hung up. but the first break in the prosperity of the textile industry made itself only slightly manifest. As mills continued to close. however. the ef- feet was reflected in the bank transac- tions. which have been less during ths last half of 1920 than during the first six months.

A New Buckled
Strap Pump for
Street Wear

Many women object to oxfords
altogether as not dressy enough
for street wear. To answer their
need we have a pump which is
entirely practical for all walking
purposes, and at the same time is
undeniably prettier than a laced
oxford.
It is of dark tan calfskin, with
three straps, each bucklirg in the
center. 1t has a moderate Cuban
heel, a rounded toe with perfor-
ated straight tip and a welted
sole of good walking weight.
For wear with sports or street
clothes we could not suggest any
thing better looking.

B. F. Keith's vaudeville at the Strand beginning Thursday with a change of program. Dave Johnson in a dancing novelty; Janis & Chaplin in a comedy singing-dancing offering; Held. Adams Go. in an exct lent comedy act, and Ten ny & Allen in novelty act. This com pletes the vaudeville program.
 The feature attraction at the Strand theatre Thursday. Friday and Saturday is a surprising modern society drama of love and mystery called A Daughter of Eve, starring Violet HoDson, one of the most beautiful women in England, and Stewart Rome, one of the best known actors on the English stage.
 The story is convincingiy and con- sistently told and though starting cut as a simple little love story. Soon takes q turn for the unusual that rises as the scenes progress to climax Nilh startling denouement.
 It is based on the theme that some women love not too wisely cut too well, and that love where it interferes with mans business too frequently causes him to feel that the paradise he thought he had attained is in reality Paradise Lost.
