STATE

A unique story, cleverly turned, cleverly and beautifully staged is "Behold My Wife, which heads the new show at Warmers State start ing tomorrow. Sylvia Sidney, its star, iscast this time as an In- dian maiden and she brings all the charm, all the petite wist- fulness to the role that audiences have come to expect of her. She is more than capably supported by Gene Raymond who plays op,
 posite her. The cast includes those two favorites, H. B. Warner and
 Laura Hope Crews, in addition to Julliette Compton, Monroe Ows-
 ley and Charlotte Granville, among others.
 Raymond is cast as a wealthy
 love with a girl from what his
 family regards as a flower social stratum" Their efforts to break
 up the affair drive the girl to suicide, and Raymond, broken of him home yowing vengeance. Numbed by his tragedy. he drives his car grimly across the
 
 New Mexico. There he meets TO- nita, the Indian girl played by
 Miss Sidney. An idea strikes him --what better way to revenge himself on his family thna to marry her-to bring this ''sav- ,age" back to their exclusive salon as his wife.
 This he does and what fol. lows is a sometimes grim, some times amusing, sometimes tragic, but always dramatic denouement. Miss Sidney's brilliant perform ance is a satisfying climax to her work in Ladies of the Big House." "An American Tragedy" and Madame Butterfly" She Is always fresh. always charming. and-abQve all--always sincere. Raymond gives magnificent per- formancea 2 the tragedy -stalked boy, and H. B. Warner, as usual.

TRIAL AND ERROR
 INVENTORS HOBBY
Many Without Scientific or Mechanical Train= ing Use Odd Method

New York (UP)-A large pro- portion of important inventions have been made by men without scientific or mechanical training, who work on the trial and error method. depending on their native ingenuity, according Nto patent ex- perts. A recent questionnaire sent to several thousand inventors re- vealed the fact that originality was considered by far the most impor- tant attrib..a for an inventor, while mechanical ability was con- sidered only one-tenth as impor- tant. e
 Casual inventors from every walk of life have been the most successful inventors in America, including lawyers, clerks, business men, salesmen, storekeepers, pro- fessors and others. The records show hat Robert Fulton, inventor of the steamboat was a portrait painter, Edmond Cartwright, in- ventor of the power loom was q clergyman, Richard Arkwright, in- ventor of the loom was Q barber and Alexander Graham Bell of telephone fame, teacher of deaf mutes.
 The remarkable success of the so-called Yankee Inventor" of the past. and of the casual inventor of to-day. is attributed to native genius for invention and the fact that the inventors are practical men in direct contact with the ac- tiviies of the day.
 The individual inventor, how ever, is passing, and being super ceded largely by inventors espe- cially trained in the technique of inventing. Courses are now avail able in several large universities and by correspondence courses di- rected by the Inventors Founda- ton of New York. which train in- ventors in the echnique, legal and business phases of the work.

try, who are attending; the exhibi- ton.
 ] You can't buy furniture from travelling salesmen, as you can nuts and holts," Max M. Oser, pres- ident of the company explained.' '.The style element is too import ant. Even photographs do not tell the careful buyer all he wants to know about the woods used, the fabrics on upholstered pieces, the detail of construction. So more htan 600 of the nations leading manufacturers unite in maintain ing showrooms at Chicago and Grand Rapids. and twice a year all the new styles are introduced there.
 {! "We find that the cost of being represented at the national show is repaid to us by the better val ues we are able to obtain by being present at the opening"
 "Modern designs will be featured more than ever. during the coming spring, according to advance word from the Furniture Mart" MT. Oser said. Most manufacturers are planning to show modern. or clas- sic modern furniture, as the key- note of their Chicago displays.
 "We're very much interested in the new contemporary designs" Mir. Oser said, because the new styles are more practical than was the earlier modern furniture. For example. manufacturers will dis play classic, modern and the 18th century English patterns in the same rooms in their exhibits. And we, feel sure than when home makers here find they can have the newest furniture, without having to discard all their older pieces that are still serviceable, they'll want to give their rooms a new, up-to-date appearance by adding pieces of modern design"
 The Waterbury man will also see. the latest furniture in Early Amer ican, English, French and other traditional periods, as well as floor coverings, electrical appliances. outdoor furniture (for the coming spring season), stoves, refrigera- tors, lamps, and everything else that goes into the American home, while at Chicago and Grand Rap ids.
 Unusually attractive designs and exceptional values are anticipated this season, 1t was explained, be- cause furniture men expect thou sands of homes to be wholly or partially refurnished during 1895 as a result of the federal housing act and the attention now being paid to housing generally. People will not be content with furniture ten or fifteen years old. or older, in homes that have been, otherwise brought up to date, 1t is argued. The industry is looking forward to it's best season since the '20s The high-lights of the market displays, according to word recetv- ed by MT. Oser from the Furni- .ture Mart, include:
 1. New springs especially de- signed to protect inner-sDring mat tresses and provide more comfort able support for them.
 g.. A larger selection than ever of new fabrics for modern uphoi- stered furniture.
 8. A whole new. assortment of novelty pieces. handy additions to odd corners, to complete reading groups, to provide place Tor all to keep in the living room.
 4. Lamps scientifically designed to meet the requirements of the Better Light-Better Sight" cam
 A general improvement of the hardware used on furniture Of all types.
