THE GRABBING SEASON.

The Flats Alive With Crabs-Crabbins 2 Parties NumerOus-Ladies Enjoy The Sport.
 The flats of the harbor, rivers and creeks
 arc alive with crabs, and thousands of them
 are caught daily. Grabbing parties are nu-
 merous, especially on the Mill and Quinni-
 piac rivers and ladies are frequently to be
 seen in the boats assisting in the sport and
 occasionally thrilling the other occupants of the boat as 8 saucy captured crab makes free with their dress skirts. The screams of the ladies at the prospect of any entangling alli- ance with the snapping. crawling victims, are very enlivening and the victims are said to be covert1y assisted by the gentlemen to produce the row. Some of the ladies are quite courageous and land some of the vic tims unaided. Among the ladies who have been out grabbing on Mill and Quinnipiac rivers are the wives and daughters of man. ufacturers, oyster dealers and other well known citizens, and barring the hot sun and an occasional sprinkle of rain the ladies have returned we'll pleased with the excur- sion. A couple of boys caught two hundred crabs on Tuesday in the Quinnipiac river and didn't work hard. The crabs began running about three weeks ago and as yet are not large. They are unusually numerous this season.

what To Avoid.

So many suggestions for methods Of
cheap decoration find their wav into
print. addressed to those who have very
plain homes and who are out Of the
way Of knowing what is really good.
that the need seems rather to be Of hints
what to avoid. While trying to adorn.
.itshould be remembered that even Sc
we're plainness is better than bad orna-
ment The walls Of room and its floor
are the points which are most conspic-
uous, and therefore most need to be
saved from too brilliant coloring and
too conspicuous patterns. If bare white
walls or those covered with ugly paper
confront us, they may be remedied at
small expense BY tinting with soft,
delicate color, some neutral tint being
the safest to attempt; or there are to be
found, almost everywhere, wallpapers at
low prices in small indistinct patterns
and Eubdued colors which are even pref
ty in themselves and which give warmth
and tone to the room; or the plain,
coarse gray paper, which makes SO ex-
cellent background for pictures, is
to weary the eye and brain of the ten
ants of room with the CANDY, obtrus-
i've papers SO often used.
# the white walls or the ugly paper
cannot be changed, let us not increase
the ugliness BY putting patches Of bril-
liant color in any form of ornament
upon them. Even the Japanese fans,
which are SO popular that one hardly
dares utter protest against them, do
not always beautify. They may, indeed,
if judiciously and moderately used on 3
plain, dull colored wall, make a pleas
ant relief to the eye, or a frieze COM
posed Of them is sometimes good. Still,
we hope their days is over and that they
are passing away from even the re-
moteat farmhouse walls. Henrietta
