POWDER PUFF REvUE-LYcEUM

The Powder Puff Revue, a clean.
 clever and classy little company that
 drew capacity houses at the Com
 munity theater in Meriden all last week, opened 2 weeks engagement at the Lyceum this afternoon. The members of the cast and chofus are all capable performers, are nicely costumed and their songs, dances and jokes are free from suggestiveness. This company presents an entirely different brand of entertainment from any that has heretofore appeared here, and among the specialties arc number of attractive song hits and clog dancing exhibition of merit. The show itself is rollicking com edy from start to finish. The bill will be completely changed on Thurs day.
 The picture showing the first half of the week is really an animated de- tective story, from the pen of A. Conan Doyle, the great English mys- tery writer and creator of Sherlock Holmes. The picture, "The Hound of the Baskervilles," is regarded as one of Doyle's greatest detective stories. The leading character is, ob- viously, Sherlock Holmes. and the methods adopted by this clever sleuth in unraveling the uncanny and baf- fling mystery that as presented in the opening chapter compel the work ing. out of most elaborate plot. The scene of the action is in lonely sec

TOO MUCH CORN.

Old dog Spot would have liked to slip away into the night. But that was not his way. He was no sneak. So he crouched at the door of the horse barn, waiting for Farmer Green.
 Whats wrong, old boy?" Farmer Green asked him pleasantly.
 Spot wagged his tail and clawed at the door, which Farmer Green quick ly threw open. Inside, the light of the lantern showed them Mistah Mule stretched upon the floor, in the very act of rolling over.
 "Ah, hal" cried Johnnie Greens father. You slipped your halter. eh 2" He hurried across the floor and peep cd at q sack of corn in a corner. This fellow was too greedy" he murmured. He been at this corn and eaten a lot more than is good for him.. :. This is what he gets for making pig of himself" Farmer Green told old dog Spot
 Spot gave four short parks, which meant. Tt serves him right"
 There was no doubt that Mistah Mule was in pain, though he said nothing now. except to grunt once in a while.

ONE MAN WOMAN
 RUTH AGNES ABELTNG
ALICE'S MOTIVE?
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING

The coroner entered, An under taker followed,
 Gentle little Sing Loy was thrust men laid careless hands on his be- loved dead.
 While Kate fingered about, hoping to find some hint of motive, the two , men made short work of their charge. To them the fluffy y-haired girl was simply a woman who died in d "Chink joint" The silken wrappings were hastily removed And with their removal the personality of the girl seemed to change. She lost something of her daring, something of her ven- turesomeness, They left her virginly slim and white in fresh voile, under garments, incongruous with the pas sion of color around her.
 Found this" the coroner was brusquely offering Kate a white en- velope. Relative of hers? Might want to read it."
 He was gone, leaving Kate stupid ly lingering the envelope.
 Her first thought was of Sing Loy. Aus uieocd6t OI dlly pOS5eSolOIlS WIlCH Alice might have left should belong first to him. She sent Latham, whom she found restlessly pacing the pas sageway, for the oriental.
 At length he returned. Sing Loy trotted after him, There was dejec- ton, grief, in every line of his figure.
 Kate held out the envelope. Sing Loy took it, opened it, glanced at the writing and then shook his head. He handed 1t back to Kate.
 You read" he said. T not read Melican way"
 Kate opened the envelope. It had been through the mail and had been opened before the coroner put it in her hands. She slipped the letter out and glanced at the contents and sig nature.
 She said to Sing Loy:
 It's nothing. Just a note about some bills. I'll take care of It."
 Kate folded the note and put 1t in l her purse.
 At first Sing Loy was inclined to regard the action with suspicion. A peculiar light shone in his beady eyes.

All Blouses Shaped Alike This Season

Suits decide blouse lines. So this spring all blouses are about alike,
 They're gathered on a wide helt, hitting closely over the hips, and sleeves are very short, or, if long very light, to let suit coat slip over them easily,
 Suit coats are designed on the same model, or in long box styles, en- tirely covering the blouse, or, again, extremely short Eton jackets are worn, displaying the waist under meath,
 Nearly all suit blouses are of printed or broeaded silk.
