HAMPDEN STARS IN ROLE OF MACBETH
Gruesome Shakespearean Play
 We'll Presented at Parsons
tny The Herald Reviewer,.


 The incompatible Walter Hanp.
 den opened a three-day engagement at Parsons theater in Hartford last night in a performance of Macbeth. ' the Shakespearean masterpiece which was presented in a most mas terly manner by an exceptionally capable supporting company.
 The play followed closely the book as written by Shakespeare and there fore comes in for very little criti- cism. There are perhaps many of the present generation who do not care for this type of play and kind of entertainment but for those that do it is rare treat to see Walter Hampden portray the characters as made by the old English author.
 The dramatic acting of Mr. Hamp- den is, without doubt, the most su- perb seen on the Hartford stage dur ing the course of a. season. The great actor makes his audience see, feel His supreme dramatic ability is shown in the banquet scene after he has been told that Banquo has been killed as he had ordered. He cannot sup, he cannot sit still, he cannot enjoy the company of his guests for on his mind all of the time Macbeth men tally pictures Banquo who should by right be seated at the table. The fa- cial expressions, the vivid conception of Macbeth. the mailman as he saw the ghost of his dead friend, filled the spectators with awe.
 Nary Hall as Lady Macbeth, the shrewd and designing wife who was even more courageous than her hus- band, the warrior and even coward, gave performance worthy of only the most favorable comment. Both Miss Hall and MT. Hampden did their best acting of the evening in the scene which directly followed the murder of Duncan when they entered individually from the dismal bedroom with their hands covered with blood, Macbeth carrying the two daggers also covered with blood and both ex- pressing the fear that someone might enter, see and disclose their wicked deed.
 Ernest Rowan as Macduff was of- ferod many dramatic possibilities throughout the play and made the most Of each one. His role was the next greatest in length to that of Mir. Hampden and his acting drew applause as did that of Mir. Hampden and Miss Hall.
 Mention should also be made of the acting of Allen Thomas as DOT ter. who in his drunk scene, pro- ,ided the only light comedy of the 1 show. Charles Brokaw as Malcolm, | the son Of Duncan, was also good while the acting of others helped make the production worth. while.
 The scenic effects were varied and | many and aided greatly in producing he gruesome effect desired for many ,f the scenes.
 This evening MT Hampden will play in "A New Way To Fay Old Debts and on Saturday matinee. Romeo and Juliet" and in the cve- ling. "The Tanning of the Shrew."

Why should l now?"
 On the whole. Ebenezer had little fault 10 find with Mistah Mules be- havior on their drive. Farmer GrAn put no load into the wagon. He merely logged Mistah Mule and FbeneZer around what everybody in Pleasant Valley knew as the Four mile Squares then drove them home. And Mistah Mule trotted along and stopped and started whenever Farmer Green gave the word.
 Mistah Mule was almost a gentle man.. except for one thing. He kept "crowding the pole" as Farmer Green called it. He insisted on squeezing himself up against the wagon-pole, which was between him and Ebenezer. More than once Ebenezer told him to move over" But Mistah Mule might have had no ears. instead of great long ones, for all he seemed 10 hear.
 This unpleasant trick annoyed Ebenezer. But he did not let it worry him. He had known young colts that tried it. And Ebenezer re- membered that Farmer Green had way of stopping it.
 After Farmer Green had led Eben- ezer into his stall. and backed Mistah Mule into his, he called to the boy Johnnie: Firing me an old piece of leather, some long tacks, and a ham mer!"
 IsWhen he heard that, Ebenezer pricked up his ears.
 Whats this Farmer Green aimin' to do now?" Mistah Mule asked him.
 You'll find out the next time he i nrives us,' Ebenezer told him. And 1 he would say nothing more. 'Copyright 1913 by Metropolitan i

Blue Serge Cor Midseason Use
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Foulard pleases women. Also they
like serge. When the news goes out
that the two are to be combined for
early spring frocks there should be
happiness IN the land.
II may be that dressmakers found
serge the best available fabric to
offer for the weather that is neither
hot nor cold. II may be that they
realize the public dislikes taffeta,
that kasha is too thick, that velvet
is not suitable for the turn IN the
seasons, that crepe de chine needs
rival. Any one Of these reasons may
irnpel them to offer serge, but there
IS q suspicion that the fabric is
chosen as an excellent foundation for
the multitudinous uses OF foulard.
Foulard is a name that covers a
large variety OF silks and designs
less term. It was brought into be-
Ing when the ubiquitous vart-colored
handkerchiefs rushed into the middle
Of the fashion arena and won swift
and decisive battle. Some Of the
things that are called foulard have
known silk of other days. But what's
in name?
The important thing is that the de-
signers have gone quite mad over
gay color. Oriental patterning and
nearly every weave of silk is subJu-
gated to their desire to imprint fig
ures and rainbow tones where once
were plaids and checks. Those who
thought that the handkerchief fash
lon was a passing fancy have been
proved wrong by its endurance. It
was started a year ago in Paris.

October, and now has America in

Women wear tandkerclliefs of orr
entai-patterned chiffon tied about
their wrists at all kinds of parties,
day and night; they run them through
the belt: they wear them kDotted
about the neck: they stick them into
skirt and blouse pockets; they tie
them under rolling collar like q
cravat: they make OF them a iabot
for the front of the blouse.
Naturally the dressmakers see In
the idea an effective way to trim blue
the combination on every corner. The
sketch shows a new midseason frock.
The skirt has box-pleated apron
tied around 1t, which Is one Of the
fashions of the season, making the
skirt a little longer IN front. The
foulard is arranged in a sling cravat
which drops over the front Of the blouse
and ties in careless knot above the
waist.
Some OF these cravats are like
necklaces. They are merely used to
give vivid color 10 dark frock.

This is a most widespread group of
family names, the one most fire.
quently met with being Hill, with
probably Hillman, Hull, and Hilyer
next in order. They are all English
names and all trace back to an old
Anglo-Saxon word which has come
down to us almost unchanged and
is IN as common use today as it was
In the reign Of Alfred the Great. The
word is Dust what you think 1t is)
hill"
But some of the family names in
this group have not developed from
this word in the same manner.
The name of Hill, as. well as Hull,
mere contraction of the old descrip-
tive phrase "at the hill'' or "of the
hill" used to designate persons who
happened to dwell on or near such
eminences. In the varied spellings
OF the late Norman days the surname
"de Ia Helle" and latte Cat the)

With the other variations another
method of development is responsible
for the modern names. This word

uratiyeiy to denote a roof and also
for the verb ito roof."-An abstract
from an ancient document reads,
'"whyt cley and red for to- make

and harmed (burnt) tyyl (tile) to
hele houses and churches Again.
Wicklyffe, in the translation. of one
Bible passage, says: 1.-THE schip
(ship) was hilid Chilled or coveredl
with wayis."
The words "hilyers' and "hillman,''
therefore, were descriptive of occu-
pations, which explains why these
family names in their varied spell
ings are not within the old records
