Repute1 to surpass its predecessor
in all its comic and pictorial ele-
ments, the second annual edition Of
Greenwich Village Follies will play
an engagement at the jefferson Mon
day, Tuesday and Tuesday matinee.
All OF last season it was an outstand-
ing hit at the Greenwich Village
and Shubert theatres in New York.
The first of these antio ANIMALS, pro-
duced by tho Bohemians, Inc, is well
remembered for the furore IL created
here last season. The critical press
of the nation pay the second edition
a high compliment when they say
that it is even more satisfying than
it's forerunner.
The Greenwich Village Follies is
devised and staged by John Murray
Anderson, as was the first of the
series. In this edition he has devel-
oped the art of stage setting and
lighting to a degree of beauty as
yet not approximated by his contem-
poraries. The music for the "Follies"

Straw hats are boldly peering

those women who are going to

colored affairs, these new straws

favorite colors. Silks faced with

straw faced with contrasting colors
and straws embroidered in silks are
some of the prevailing ideas.
This severely tailored tricorn
shown here is made Of shiny red
rough straw faced with a fine
white straw. 1t is a smart hat for
wear with the tailored sports suit
or the sweater outfit. The band of
red grosgrain ribbon is the only
trimming feature.

ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH
YOUR WOODWORK?

In going into a persons home
for the first time, am perhaps
most interested in the woodwork
and the care it has received. For
woodwork either makes or mars n
room.
We have all been in homes
where the "color scheme" of the
living room was a symphony and
the furniture appropriate and
tasteful-but where the woodwork
spoiled the effect.
But there is no need for such a
condition.
II can't afford to have my var
nished woodwork rubbed down and
revarnished," a housekeeper tod
me the other day, land yet it is
worn through in spots and abso-
lutely spoils the hall and dining
room"
"Then why don't you apply a
little floor wax to the parts that
are rubbed down" | asked her.
For a little floor wax will do
wonders in such a case. 1t should
be followed by thorough polishing
with a soft cloth, and the entire
surface should then receive an ap-
plication of the wax. In this way
a uniform lustre is attained, and
the varnish is protected from fur
ther wear by the wax. If a good
grade of floor wax is used, there
need be no fear of a sticky result.
There is always some way to
improve unsightly woodwork. Var
nish removers are sold by all hard
ware merchants--and many house
keepers have undertaken the task
of removing the varnish from the
woodwork themselves, and either
revarnishing, or treating with
stain, paint, or an oil and turpen-
tine mixture in equal parts, to

The ever broadening field Of ap-

most conveniently applied form Of
energy for use in the home. It is
used for illuminating, heating

various motor-driven household ap-

In fact It occupies so deeply

of routine that carelessness has a

1t is interesting to compare the
number Of fatalities from electrical

from fires of various kinds. In

were thirty-two deaths from burns,
twenty-three from asphyyiation,

land three from electricity.
These statistics go to show that

comparatively low and that It has
the advantage Of being safer, when
properly used, than many of its
