large white doughnut). then place this
potato-covered egg on pan and slip II
into hot oven for a moment or two
until the potato browns. Serve at once.
This is a fine we'll balanced little meal
for an invalid: the potato provides
the starch element, the egg provides the
protein element, the butter on the toast
provides the fat element. and the fruit
provides the mineral salts or "vitamineS'
necessary to a well-balanced ration. The
surprise eggs are also a good dish to
serve from the standpoint of tempting
the appetite. An unexpected or unusual
little trick of cookery interests an in

Dry Cleaning.

The advantages of dry cleaning are
that it leaves the original finish Of
the material unchanged and does not
shrink nor fade it. AS the material
often need not be pressed after dry
cleaning, gathered and shirred gar
ments cannot be cleaned in this way
Dry cleaning is accomplished either
by cleansing powder. which, absorbs
dust and grease. or by liquids, which
dissolve them. The powders are mag
nesia, borax and French chalk; the
liquids are gasoline. benzine. naptha
and chloroform. Sometimes it is wise
to try the dry powder, and after hav-
ing brushed it out thoroughly, use

PLAZA.

Capacity crowds are still greeting every showing of Charlie Chaplin's S greatest six act masterpiece, ''The Kid,' at the Plaza theatre, where it is shown five times daily, starting at 1880. There is no use going into detail let it suffice to say that it is the crowning achievement in Charles s successful career. The Zigler Kids, worlds champion boxers, at the ages Of six and eight, are the talk of Bridgeport in their boxing match which they stage at every perform ance. The little fellows are real corners in the game. Dave Harris, the novelty songster and song writer, Chief Little Elk and Co.,, and others complete a very good bill.

TOPKNOTS.

Fitting the hair to the features is an art that screen actresses seem to have learned quite well here's CONSTANCE TALMADGE, for instance. She knows that a fluffy hairdress suits her face, so she wears it that way. Golden brown, full of lights and shad- ows, it makes an alluring top piece to the vivid young woman who owns it.
 Like her sister Norma, Con- stance began her screen career at the old Vitagraph studio, at tracing the attention of David Wark Griffith by her good work, so that he cast her in her first big role in 'Intollerance." She has been going up ever since and is acknowledged as the best light comedienne on the screen.
 Not so long ago Constance be- gan exhibiting signs of dissatis- faction with her state of single blessedness, until the day after Christmas when she and Dor othy Gish, James Rennie and John Pialoglo got into an auto mobile and drove to Greenwich, where they were married. Con stance picked John, who is a wealthy Greek tobacco merchant, and Dorothy chose James, who has been her leading man for some time.
 Constance's work is going along just the same, domestic feicitieS not interrupting the wheels of cinema progress, for which the public is grateful Her last picture is "Mama's Affair."" which went big in New York and will be shown in Bridgeport be- fore very long, As a pleasant coincidence the picture on which Constance is working now is Wedding BeI1s.1

There is nothing appeals more than a play of the out of doors and am a firm believer in all out of door exercises The production Is one of the old fashioned type of melodrama and keeps the audience thrilled from Beginning to end.

Have You Had Your
 Fasting Party Yet?

Girls and boys all over the city are gleefully planning Fasting Parties Coming home from school last night Martin Feeney shouted across the street to couple of his playmates: "Comin' over t my house t'night My father'll bring home Times and you bring over yours sand he'll give us the Screen and Stage page, and then we can begin to paste. My mother thinks the Scra apbook clubs fine idea. She used to keep a scrapbook when she was a girl. She has it now, and I love to read ii. a history-only you can do it your self instead of readin' it out of a book. Won't it be nice when we grow up to have our own scrapbooks to read ourselves-and perhaps to have our children to read, too, just like I read Mothers
 Did you hear what the prize for the best scrapbook was goin' to be? The Times hasn't announced it yet. but my father heard that it's goin' to be the beginning of a savings ac- count in some of the banks. There'n be three prizes, too, so we'll all have a chance.
 I'm crazy about the club. All you have to do is to get a scrapbook, or make one yourself, so long as the pages are no bigger than 1-2 by 12 nor smaller than 1-2 by 10. Then you fill out the blank that's in the Times every night, send it in, they'll know that you belong to the club, and that's all-
 Can't we have a Fasting Party over to your house tomorrow night? Then I'll ask Tom if his mother won't let him have one over to his house Saturday afternoon.
 I'm goin' to cut out my clippings neatly and not let the pages get finger-marked, sos I'll win the first prize. But there's two others, so we can all try.
