THE WINTER SEASON.

Canaan is waking up this winter and is going to be ivelier than expected. Those in the swim find plenty of diver sion and it looks as though socially we we are bracing up. The new social club, with very large membership, meets once in two weeks and passes very
 pleasant evening at cards, games and dancing. On the alternate weeks comes the Episcopal sociable which is very enjoyable affair and usually furnishes 8 little dance before the close. Twice month, on Friday evening. the Literary society holds forth and an instructive and also very entertaining meeting is usually the result of their papers and debates We hear of dramatic organ ization soon to be effected and hope that it will prove to be success. Be- sides these winter season entertainments are the two clubs: the ladies' Haw- thorne Club, and the gentlemen's Wan gum Club. The ladies' club, so the fair ones say, is vory entertaining but as we are not ''in it'' we cannot com ment. The Wangum Club is blaze of light every evening and the billiard and pool room, the card tables and the reading room are usually occupied
 The club is not deserted during the day and at almost any hour some member can be found there. Private parties and receptions are not forgotten and quite an enjoyable season is promised.

HOW TO FURNISH A PARLoR.

Smyrna Rugs, Muslin Curtains, Cushions
 and Couch.
 Have your floors for the front and back parlors finished for rugs. Though three or four rugs may be and often are scattered about the floors of such rooms, one large rug gives a cozier and moro finished look, and there is less trouble in keeping the floor in good condition. The moderate priced and durable rugs are the Smyrna or a rug made of good body brussels with border. The coloring is of course matter of taste. Some of the best Smyrna rugs are copied from de- Birable and very high priced eastern rugs. If you get one for back parlor, select one that has quiet pattern, with the colors well blended.
 Have the hangings between the doors harmonize with the prevailing shades of the carpet. Let them hang straight from the poles. Have the thin curtains of dotted muslin, of Madras, of cream white figured in the weave or of white point d'esprit. Make them with frills. Have the long scarf drapery of breadth of China silk of color that goes well with your rug. Across the large window in  the front parlor have wide window seat, with cushion and pillow, if not too great an expense. Have 8 music stand, one or two small tables of various shapes, pretty colonial rocker, two re- ception chairs of different sizes, chair with high back and g broad one with low back.
 Have for back parlor broad couch covered with mohair plush or with one of the new figured corduroys, with a number of pillows. or rattan couch. Select everything for comfort and wear, but also for good color, simple lines and symmetry. There are many desirable oak rockers manufactured without up holstery that need only headrest at the back. Rattan chairs are also one of the best selections that can be made for sit ting room. You can have them in any color and with or without cushions. Have round table for the center of the room.

How to Mend Tortoise Shell.

I've broken pieces of tortoise shell can be fixed together by filing the edges down with rasp till each piece has an edge like chisel. These are then made to overlap each other and are held tight ly together in clamp or wise, after sof- tening in boiling water. Heat very care fully, so as to avoid warping or other wise damaging the rest of the article. Be sure that the substance is real tor toise shell, as the imitation is often eel luloid or xylonite, and heat applied to these will cause distortion, fire and pos sibly an explosion. The imitation tor toise shell can be cemented with acetone.
