TheV first to promulgate that religious doctrine since known as Armln-ianlsm was Jacobus Armbiius. a Dutch Protestant divine, who 'dled jat 307 years ago today. Arminlus maintained that God had predestined jthe salvation or condemnation of individuals only from having foreseen who' would and who' would not accept of offered mercy. The opponents of this, theory, declared. since God was responsible for man's existence, and as man could act only as God had made' him act, and as God had foreseen he Would act, it followed that man wis1 "hot' free to accept or reject As the founder' of the anti-Cjalvrnistic school in Reformed theology' the Dutch -theologian' "made a profoind and lasting impress upon vreliglousV thought, and pontrib-Vuted toformfte Arminian tendency in' England and other countries.

Conditional election and. reprobation, in opposition to absolute predestination, Is the main plank of the Arminian doctrine. Armlnius also taught uni versal redemption, although only believers, he held, can partake of the benefits Christ's sacrifice. He also preached that man must 'be' regenerated by the Holy Spirit, but that this grace is not ir. rlstibleand may be lost.

mn "iVHY-WOMEN "WORK 'Rock of Ages, cleft for me' "Twas a woman sang it now; Sang it slow and wearily With wan hand on her aching brow. Rode the song as storm-tossed bird Beats with weary wing the air; Every note with sorrow stirred, Every syllable a prayer. Sung as only they can sing vtftoo life's thorny paths have pressed; Sung as only, they can sing Who behold the promised rest." It cannot be said that women who do so for the love of it. Each earner has her own secret ambition, which urges her on. The young girl is anxious to add hr mite to help her family eke out its expenses.

There are those who are the support of widf owed aged mothers or helpless brothers and sisters. Married women who work outside ef heir homes df not do from choice usually, but 'because of children to be supportedy or to aid a who has been 'unfortunate and is down and out to struggle to his feet again. "The more incentive a woman has to earn money the keener her desire is to push her way through- tne hardest of obstacles to obtain the highest salary the work' she is engaged at has ttf of fer. The girl or woman who has noH Incentive takes enough interest In her work to get through wih it and draw her pay, content to scrape together enough to keep the wolf of want from her door and a. shelter over her head.

She jnakes no5 struggle for advancement, yet wonders why others elbow her aside, reaching the higher salaried positions. Two salesgirls may enter the employ of a firm together, both being placed, we. will say, at the lace counter. One girl" will not take down heavy boxes to show other patterns of lace unless the floor walker's eye is on her or the cuctomer complains. She- looks defiantly at each patron as.

she approaches, making her feel that she is going beyond, her right if she fails to be suited" with the two or three selections which have been laid apparently grudgingly for her to choose from. The other girl feels an Interest in customer that approaches her. Her eyes and lips smile a welcome, her very eagerness to please, no matter how difficult making a choice appears to be, causes that customer to look for lier when next she comes to purchase, refusing to be waited on by any one else. One girl grows popular. while the other- girl's services decrease In accordance with ther seeming dissatisfaction of patrols and the lessening amount of herSales.

The oblig-ing' srirl becomes In due time head of stock, then buyer, with "constant rise of salary, every penny of which she earns. She grows intensely interested in, her work, doing it the best way it cant be done. This insures comfort and happiness for her loved ones as well as herself, i The grind of toil, no matter how hard or depressing; should never rob a Woman, of her ambition to do something greater or better to increase her earning capacity.

WARNKK bUtLDLNG, 8S FAIRFIELD Girl Who Received Her Entire Musical Training in America Describes the Elaborate Costumes Worn in Grand Opera Productions Believes Toscanni, Famed Musical Director, the Most Intellectual Man She Has Ever Met. One of thfc greatest pleasures of being connected with a great opera company is the contact with the art ists themselves, according to Miss Vera Curtis, one of Bridgeport's most tal ented young women and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John M.

Curtia of 154 Coleman street. Miss Curtis through earnest training of her really remarkably beautiful voice, attained the coveted honor of 'being chosen a principal of the Metropolitan Opera a few years ago, an honor all the more un usual, because her entire training had been received in America. "The artists are all such charming people," said Mis Curtis, "they are so used to exaggerating everything to get it across the footlights that they seem to feel things more quickly and mo are a little more human than- other people. Many of them are exquisitely refined and beautifully educated and so broad in their conception of life that it seems a great privilege to work with them. I think that Toscanni.

the director, has the most marvellous intellect of anyone with whom I have ever oome into contact. His memory is remarkable. He never uses a score and yet he conducts these great rehearsals hour after hour without ever making a mistake of so much as the accent upon a word. His face has the, most peculiar way of lighting up when he is conducting until it seems, to fairly radiate intelligence. I don't think be will he with us this year though, as he is In tensely patriotic and while he cannot enter the army because of his poor eyesight, he te working all he time for Italy." 1 Miss Curtis, herself, is an extreme ly interesting person to meet.

One is Impressed by her superior intelli gence, a great toreadth of mind, a large quantity of humor and that happy interest In the affairs of everyday life, designated as humanity. Those who have seen her upon the opera or concert stages know with what a magnetic personality she holds her audiences while charming them with her exquisite voice. Geraldlne Farrar. Edith Mason, Clarence Whltehill, Paul Alt- house and herself are the only Americans in the company, and. she is the only one who has been exclusively trained here.

Miss 'Curtis believes that In addition to having a voice, an aspirant for the opera stage must absolutely perfect him or herself tn the' languages, not only to understand them, but In enunciation also. He must of necessity be a good musician, and must have a thorough' training in esthetic dancing and stage deportment. The dancing is principally to aid in graceful carriage, balancing and pivoting. One of the most Interesting details connected with the production of a great opera at the Metropolitan opera house In New York city, and singular ly, too, one of the least talkeabouft is the designing ana preparation oi the costumes of the artists and' members of the chorus. According to Miss VeravCurtis, nothing Is spared to make -the cos-: tumes as rich- and beautiful as can be conceived.

I' "The costumes," she said, "are really gorgeous and I have known material costing $15 a yard to be used even In those of the chorus. Nearly everything that is used is genuine, except perhaps tn the case of the Jewels and in furs which are sometimes Imitations. "There Is one very consoling fact to the artists at least, and that is that they do not have to trouble about their costumes at all. The wardrobe mistress and a corps of seamstresses have charge of 'the preparation and if it is- a new opera, a designer is responsible for their conception. 'When one becomes a member of the company one of the first experiences Is the introduction to the wardrobe department where a complete catalogue rf careful measurements is taken.

These are afterwards kept on file and used whenever! new costume is necessary- Very often, when a singer Is called upon' suddenly to fill a role, she will find a new gown, one which she has never before seen, hanging in her dressing room and ready for her to wear. The wardrobe mistress will be there to see that It fits perfectly. "All that one has to do when one Is called upon to fill new role is to send word to the wardrobe mistress that one has been cast to sing a certain part and she will take care of the costujiieNnd. "In a Historical play every costume and every, bit of scenery is as nearly historically correct as possime. wnen I sang the role of the queen in "Sans Gene," I wore a wonderful crown and a handsome costume of ermine and silver lace, with a very long train, which was incidently very heavy.

The crown, the Jewels, the color of my hair and my costume were all absolutely true to history. "Once last year I had a very amusing experience in the part of the shepherd boy In "Tannenhauser." I was called upon to sing the part very suddenly. The singer who had had the part before me was a very tiny person much smaller than myself and as the costume consisted principally of a tunic and a sheepskin, I was a bit worried. The tights were, of course, easily managed, the tunic proved full enough to cover me well, but the sheepskin was a blti skimpy. We solved the problem by plnhlng the skin half way across the back as the principal duty of the boy is to sit upon a high rock and blow his flute, it all turned out well and.

I did not have to worry about any exigencies of costume as I might have to have done tn' a role which required more moving about. "Our shoes, also, are all made for us froni a wax impression. -Foot-. -wear is an Important item to us. as we often to make several changea When I sang in "Julien," I made four or five changes of shoes In the one opera.

"Another most Important detail of the costuming Is the wigs. When one has 'been a member of the company a year, he has all his wigs mark- ed with his name. 1 These are 6t ay- i ery colotvand of every possible shape. They are kept clean for him and I ready' for his use In whatever opera, he may toe called upon to sing. 'j "Our dressing rooms are all large and very nicely furnished.

Each. has a piano, a couch, plerglass, dress- Ing table and running water. artist has, of oourse, her own maid. "The only member of the Metro- politan company, however, who has her own -dressing room is Geraldlne. Farrar.

This is because Miss Farrar asked permission of the management eonfe years ago to be allowed to fit' up an old, unused and unventilated store room as her dressing room. At' her own expense she had it artificially ventilated and lighted and the, walls hung with grey silk. It Is beautifully fitted up and the door bears a silver plate with Miss Farrar" name engraved upon It. "All of the other artists are assign- ed to their dressing rooms for performance. Sometimes when one has to make a very quick change, and be back on the stage in a couple of moments, they will build a little can-' vas dressing room in the wings where she can have her dressing table and maid in privacy.

"One cannot be natural on the opera stage, one has to exaggerate every spoken word, every gesture and ev-' ery word about 10 times before it gets across the footlights, across the orchestra and Into the audience. For Instance, one "has. to learn to walkv' surefootedly, the woods and rocks have quite 'as many ruts and bumps to be gotten over as In nature, only (hey are not half so safe, as they have -been put up by the stage carpenter. Tet one has to get ever them safely and without seeing them. In ordinary life you enter a room and ad-', vance to a chair' you usually concentrate your gazeNm the chair even while "you are talking to some (Thls would be a most grave offense on the stage.

Tou would be direct- ing the audience's attention to that! chair instead of to what you were saying. Consequently you must walkj along with your head in the air and when you reach the chair you musti not look to see if It Is there before' you sit down, although It Is most es-i sential that It be there, you must feel! It with your foot and then sit Into Iti There are so many little things about' stage deportment which are so dif; ferent from the deportment of ordin-; ary life." Miss Curtis will be heard In a re-'. cltal of old English, French. German! and Italian songs at the United Con-1 gregational church. She Is giving! her' services for the benefit of ths' building fund for the church of which' she has always been a member.

Tick-; ets for the recital Are being sold rap- idly. The list of patronesses Includes many of the most prominent women of the city. PRODUCTIVE VS. BOTITAR- IST CTVTWZATIOIt. This war has been described as a'j conflict in which democracy Is ranged on one side and autocracy on the! other.

Many other figures of speech -and. abstractions have been used by; writers in connection with the prlnci- i. plea at stake. In his recent book, "The Causes and Consequences of the War," M. Yves Guyot, distinguished; French economlstand former minister of state, describes the war as a clash between a productive and a mil-' ltary civilization.

"id Germany's economic Interests, require her to make war on the two' countries from which she drew the bulk of her Imports, one of which was also her best asks M. He replies In the" asserting that it "was not the objective interest of gain which prompted' the Germans to supersede the eco-! nomlst by the warrior," 'but "the in-, sidlous passion for prestige." He adds that "cany German Industrials and financiers" are aware that "Ger-. many's aggressive policy clashes with her economic Interests." M. Guyot "The expression 'economic imperialism' is a contradiction tn terms, for imperialism Implies acquisition by force, without exchange, whereas economic action Implies acquisition by production or exchange. A 'produe-' tive civilization Is based on freedom -of contract, a militarist civilisation on the limitation of liberty.

The motive i force of a productive civilization is economic competition; that of a mil-, itaiist civilization Is political rivalry. 1 The present war is a -conflict between! these two civilizations. It can only, end In the final triumph of the pro-' ductive over the militarist clvillza-' tion." E. H. tlllon ft 1106 Main street are offering wonderful values In un- trimmed hats.
