Puffed at the hips, uncertain as to hem, blossom covered. this taffeta frock delights ones artistic soul


Tripping the light fantastic toe is never a very solemn duty, but it be- comes a very joyous occasion indeed when one wears the very frock that best sets off ones charms, for there isn't a bit of use in denying tiff dress does not make the woman it does tEheap of a Iot'' towards help ing her on and upward.
 The consensus Of opinion has been for some time that straight would be the silhouette, and for the most part so it has been. But there and again, when dance frQcks are in question there is at Least a ggestion of the bouffant that is wonderfully pleasing, perhaps because of it's very infre- quency. Then too there is som ething undeniably girlish about this bouffan- cy when it is achieved in the manner portrayed above,-with outings of the se1f-materia1 over the hips.
 It is not seldom that the Spanish influence is discovered in some par ticularly lovely creation for evening wear, and it is usual to elaborate a youthful affair with handmade blos- soms in which bit of bright color is worked and dropping them not only upon the lace overskirt but let ting them fall beneath the latter against the foundation as we'll

''But the Professor was fenced
 round with safeguards so cunningly
 devised that, do what l would, 1t
 seemed imp ossibIe to get evidence
 which would convict in court of
 law. You know my powers, my dear
 Watson, and yet at the end of three
 months I was forced to confess that
 had at last met an antagonist who
 was my intelligent equal. My horror
 at his crimes was lost in my admira-
 ton at his skill But at last he made
 0 triP-only a. little, little trip-but 1t
 was more than he could afford, while
 I was so close upon him. I had my

An exceptionally fine vaudeville bill is attracting crowds to Polls theatre the last three days of this week. One of the best acts seen at this house in a long time is goth Century, which consists of a melange of bits and every bit a hit
 Creedon and Davis, one of the brightest acts in vaudeville, keep PoH audiences in screams of laughter. MT. Creedon is about the drollest comedian that has appeared in these parts in many moons Carl & 1nez, a big-time act with special scenery, stops the show with a line of chatter that is fast and fly" The other acts on the bill get across in fine style.
 Eugene O'Brien, the film Adonis and said to be the handsomest man In moviedom, demonstrates his speed as a lover in Worlds Apart a photo-drama that holds the attention because the action is logical and it's development interesting.
 The Harvey Hubbell concert band, with Doctor G. E. Conterno as lead CT and John Adam Hugo as soloist will give an Easter concert at Polis day evening there will be two per formances of "Earthbound,' a photo play so powerful that Gouverneur Morris, one of Americas most dis ing astounding" This masterpiece is from the pen of Basil King who has built up an enviable literary reputation as a writer of stories o1 unusual themes. ''Earthbound" is really a ghost" story for grown-ups and gives an interesting answer tC one of the deeper riddles of life.
 Most of the boys of Bridgeport will be interested to learn that the famous detective hero, Nick Carter, will be shown in the films at the two per. formances Sunday night Nick i. known to every lad in the country who has ever gone in for red -bloodet detective lore.

One wouldn't think, off hand, that a plaster shop would be one of the essential adjuncts to a modern mo- tion picture studio but as a matter of mendous amount of plaster work sculpture, StuccO and so on is used in the scenic work of a big film plant like the Lasky studio in Hollywood
 Under the direction of J. L. Thomp- son, the Lasky shop is one of the busiest places about the studio. There are eight or a dozen men at work there all the time and some of the work turned out is not only highly practical but extremely beautiful. For example, brick walls are made by the yard from moulds in plaster and later painted the desired shade. They have every appearance Of the real thing.
 Statuary is one Of the most inpor- tant things and designs are made and reproduced with great skill-busts, groups. single, figures in the full round or bas-re1ief; fountains, grot- toes, friezes, /cornice ornamentations, columns, pillars, frescoes-a hundred and one things of especial use in the architectural or decorative work in the set construction, also play an important part
 An Interesting Place.
 Thet interior of the shop is a fas- cinating place. Up above the raft
  heroic pieces-Joan of Arc on horse back; Winged Victory and what not. On the lower floor are half completed figures swathed in sacking wet moulds of clay, shapeless Jumps indeed, which later under the skill fuI hand of the sculptor will be turn ct into things of rare grace and beauty.
 Here is an interesting point" said Mir. Thompson "In making relief work for motion picture purposes. It is necessary to have it about 100 per cent bolder than that which would be used in ordinary decoration The reason for this is that the strong lights tend to f1atten everything and much of the artistic effect would be lost if the designs were not in very strong relief.
 ''rhe discovery of glue as an in gredient in mould making has been the greatest thing of all in sculpture. Where in the past the design had to be chiseled from the solid rock, it is now possible by making a clay model

the streets of London uncha11enged.''
 What has he done, then?"
 His career has been extraor- dinary one. He is a man of good birth and excellent education, endow- ed by nature with a phenomenal mathematical faculty At the age of twenty-one he wrote a treatise upon the Binomial Theorem, which has had a European vogue On the strength of it he won theMath emati- cal Chair at one of our smaller uni versailles, and had, to all appear ances, a most brilliant career before him. But the man had hereditary tendencies of the most diaboIicaI kind. A criminal strain ran in his blood, which instead of being modi- fled, was increased and rendered in finitely more dangerous by his ex- traordinary mental powers. Dark rumors gathered round him in the university town, and eventually he was compelled to resign his chair and to come down to London, where he set up as an army coach. So much is known to the world, but what I am telling you now is what I have myself discovered.
 "As you are aware, Watson, there is no one who knows the higher criminal world of London so well as I do. For years past I have con tinua1ly been conscious of some pow CT behind the na1efactor, some deep organizing power which forever stands in the way of the law, and throws its shield over the wrong
 doer. Again and again in cases of the most varying sorts-forgery cases, robberies, murderS- nave felt the presence Of this force, and have deduced it's action in many of those
 undiscovered crimes in which I have not been personally consulted. For
 years have endeavored to break through the veil which shrouded it, and at last the time came when I seized my thread and followed it, un- til it led me, after a thousand cun- l ming windings, to ex-Professor Mo | riarty of mathematical celebrity. 'He is the Napoleon of crime, Wat
 son. He is the organizer of half that
 is evil and of nearly all that is unde-
 tected in his great city. He is a
 genius, a philosopher, an abstract | thinker. He has a. brain of the first order. He sits motionless, like a l spider in the center of it's web, but | that web has a thousand radiations,
 and he knows well every culver of | each of them. He does little him | self. He only plans. But his agents | are numerous anl splendid1y organ | ized- Is there a, crime to be done, a | paper to be abstracted, we will say, a | house to be riffed, a man to be re- | n1oved-the word is passed to the | Professor, the matter is organized and 1 caught. In that case money is found | for his bail or hisx defense. But the central power which uses the agent is
 never caught-never so much as sus- pected. This was the organization | which I deduced Watson, and which | I devoted my whole energy to expos ing and breaking up.

 "Of what?"
 "Of air-guns.1
 My dear Holmes, what do you mean ?''
 +'I think that you know me well enough, Watson, to understand that I am by no means a. nervous man.

He drew in the smoke of his cigarette as if the soothing influence was grateful to him.
