Especial to The Democrat

Hartford, Dec. 16.-The familiar switch" was enacted in a store yes- terday, and a woman swindler es- capped with valuable article of mer- chandise and a large amount of cash.
 After making an expensive pur- chase, the woman offered a $l,OOO bill in payment. The bill was sent to bank to check its genuineneSs, and was found to be all right. But the woman appeared indignant at the delay, cancelled the purchase, and getting the $1,000 bill back, put it in her pocketbook.
 But she was prevailed on to change her mind, and make the purchase. She got the article and the change of 1000. It turned out, however, that she had switched the bills and that the second note given the store was counterfeit.
 The store was reported to have notified the secret service.

FAMOUS PLAY ] IS TO BE SEEN
 AT CAPITOL
'Emperor's Candlesticks' Stars Luise Rainier,
 William Powell

The Enperor's Candlestricks, ' produced by Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer from the novel by the Baroness Orczy, comes to the screen of the Capitol Theatre tomorrow with William Powell and Luise Rainer in i the starring roles.
 In the new picture, Powell, fa- nous for his creation of The Thin Man, is seen as a debonair secret agent in Europe. Miss Rainer, erst- while Chinese slave wife in The Good Earth now becomes an ex- otic spy. The contrast is startling and the two stars achieve their divergent roles to perfection.
 In a setting of glamorous beauty in Vienna, Warsaw, Paris, London and Russia, the action of the story follows the adventures of these two across continent. Always there is suspense, danger and intrigue, and presently there is romance.
 It is a novel vehicle for Powell and Miss Rainer and their talents rise to new heights. A supporting cast of exceptional strength in- cludes Robert Young, Maureen O. Sullivan, Frank Morgan, Henry Stephenson, Douglas Dumbrille Geraldine Hayes, Donald Kirk len Wulf, Barnett Waldron, Emma Dunn, Frank Reicher, Paul Forecast and E. E Give.
 The director was George Fitzmau- rice and the producer, John Consi- dine, Jr., who produced Broadway Melody of 1936' and other notable triumphs.

 Since receptions are mass for nation job, the Army and Navy take over. The Army seems never content until it has people standing in uniform lines, usually four abreast, and that is the way it is at receptions. Three lines, four abreast, are formed in the gilt East room and from that formation they trickle in, single file, past the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, who stand in the blue room.

HARD HAND SHAKERS FOILED

Just how or why Presidents ano Presidents wives must shake hands with thousand or 1,500 people will forever baffle us, but it is done President Coolidge devised a grat and jerk system that was the mar vel of his day, but even so he some times appeared with his hand in a sling.
 President Roosevelt, at his latest reception, hooked a cane over the last two fingers of his right hand and it crossed up the lads eager to crunch into the Presidents fin gers gripping assurance that Co., pher Corners is for him to the last man. Mrs Roosevelt, beside him, took her hand shakes straight.
 Evidently to save his eyes from strain, the President has adopted a system of looking at you about where you part your hair, or once parted it. He always smiles and says: How do you do,' or T am glad to see you" Mrs. Roosevelt looks you straight in the eye and says about the same thing. We still think they'd like to call the whole thing off
