ADJUSTMENTS
A Wise Woman Amono Women

There is a unique appeal to women
in the powerful super drama. Pas
slon,' which will be presented by the
Associated First National Pictures
at the Strand Theatre today. This
appeal lies in both theme and the
faithful reproduction of fashions,
which are sure to be the pride of
woman as long as this old world of
ours rotates. Seldom has a photo
drama essayed to show SO much style
of keen interest to the gentler sex
and the producers owe a whole lot to
the star of the production, Pola Ne
grl. for becoming grace with which
she displays these styles to the best
possible advantage while she draws
racterization which critics say
will live as one of the masterpieces
OF the screen. Not only is there a
wealth OF wearing apparel par excel
lence shown in this play, but the
rare taste in bric-a -brac and other
household articles, including finer art,
is said to be most appealing. The
producers claim they have only used
the genuine, most expensive articles
so far as all costumes and props
are concerned and they say the wom-
en- can depend upon it that they arc
seeing the very acme Of perfection in
all the styles introduced. The furni-
ture used in several Of the settings is
said to represent the largest collec-
ton OF its kind outside of the FAM

On Tuesday evening the T. 0. Club
of Randolph held very successful
lawn party on the grounds of Will
liam S. McDuffie. AS the people
moved around the circle of booths
they found a variety of good things.
The supply of sailed peanuts soon
vanished. A most excellent brand of
punch induced the thirsty and near
thirsty to patroniZe the good home
brew, while the ice cream booth de-
manded an extra number of hands.
Purchasers soon put the cake and
grab bag booths out of business for
want of supplies. The Farmingdale
band were very generous in making
efforts to attend, and during the eve
ming added to the pleasure of the
occasion by the rendition of several
finely executed numbers. This band,
recruited from group of young men,
who previously have done very little
work of this sort, are, under the
leadership of Mr.. Joseph Caravan,
giving music of a very high order 1t
is expected that under the able man.
agement of Mr.. Ray Clark this
group of enthusiastic young musi-
Clans Will give a very good account
of themselves and add to the musical
standing of this part of the Kennebec
valley. Next Sunday morning Mr..
+. H. Emery of the Civic League of
Maine will speak at Randolph church
and the Chelsea chapel in the after
noon. 1t is expected that this ag-
gressive leader of the forces of law
and order in the State will have
words of much importance to speak.
