TASTEFUL DECORATIONS.


THE tasteful decorator usually has one
/ color predominant in rGcm, unless
he Is aiming for Oriental effect. A
handsome Colonial home may scatter the
various colors in a generous way and still
not have a glare of any one. The rugs
and dfapery for the large hail look well
If red is the predominant tone, as that
gives warmth OF welcome to the enter
ing guest. The parlor can afford to be
more cold In tone. The novel shade Of
olive blue blended to lighter tints Of the
same blue Is very dainty for the best
room, as they called 1t in the bygone
times. The satin damask covers for
furniture come in these shades and tints.
and aiso the new carpets. In the brocaded
satin tapestries will be found suitable
draperies.

MARRIAGE CHANCES SPOILED.
A MOTHER who has brought I'D both
n boys and girls is strongly opposed

A MOTHER who has brought up both
n boys and girls is strongly opposed
TO the higher educati on for her
gentler offspring. She says that a girl
usually does not get ont OF college until
she Is 22 or 90, and by that time her
chances of marriage are sensibly dimin-
ished." But there are a great many who
hold that girls chance OF happiness is re-
ally increased by college education. On
the other hand, girl is flung into society,
immature, and half educated, with no future
before her except In matrimony, and her ig-
norance OF the world Is such that she ia
likely to make match which will prove un-
fortunate. On the other hand, the college
girl has learned how to extract pleasure
from books and pictures; and she eau earn
her ownliving aud does not depend upon the
chance OF some man offering her home.
In fact. she is not 30 prone to take the first
chance that offers. and while 1t is probable
that a girls chance OF matrimony is SEN
sibly diminished by a higher education, lit
by no means follows that the higher educa-
ton diminishes her cbance OF happiness.

General Humidity Made Life Uncomfort-

Crowded All Day.
The temporary fall in temperature
Saturday evening was oounteraoted
yesterday morning by sudden rise,
which while 1t did not reach higher
than 81 degrees, was accompanied with
SO much moisture that existence was
rendered exceedingly uncomfortable.
The average mark for general humid
ity was, during the day, so degrees,
which is but degrees below satura-
ton.
About 1880 o'clock in the afternoon
the clouds let go their hold on their
contents and for about thirty minutes
the streets Of the city We're deluged.
The rain was accompanied with much
electrical phenomena.
Sixty-three one-hundredths inches of
water fell, which with that of Satur-
day night at II o'clock, amounted to
LOG inches, which is the greatest since
June IA. The precipitation for the
month is so inches more than the cor
responding month of former years.
| June began with the average precipi-
tation for the year inches below
normal, but the rainfall during that
month reduced this to 150 inches.
| The rain yesterday was accompanied
by wind at velocity of 80 miles an
hour and some damage was done to the
elms of the city. Several trees We're
reported to Superintendent Of Parks
Kelly. Five Of these We're on Orange
street, beween Grove and Audubon
streets, and one on Olive street, near
| William. In each of these instances
large limbs were blown off. The super
| intendent had the branches removed
Immediately.
Though the condition of the atmos-
phere was such all day as to insure a
wetting if one strayed far from home,
this did not deter thousands of New
Haven's citizens from going to the
shore, Scheutzen park and Weidmann's
grove, and other pleasure resorts. All
day the electric cars were filled, and
last evening until late the outgoing
cars were sufficiently crowded as to
make them uncomfortable . 1t was
long after midnight before the Savin
Rock cars on the Winchester avenue
road were relieved Of the traffic.
At Lighthouse Point it was said that
5000 people had visited the place, and
Savin Rock had its usual Sunday crowd
which was increased by large number
of visitors who had been spending the
Fourth Of July there.

UPSON,s NARRoB ESCAPE.

Nearly Drowned by the Cansizing of His
sailboat Off Double Beach Yesterday.
While out sailing off Double Beach
yesterday afternoon a young man by
the name of Epson, who lives at Doub-
lie Beach, had a narrow escape from
drowning. He was some distance out
from shore when his boat was struck
by squall and capsized. The acct
dent was seen from the shore and two
men put out in boat to go to Upson's
assistance. They finally rescued the
half drowned man, but were unable to
secure his sailboat, which drifted away.
The rescuing boat could not put back
to shore at Double Beach on account of
the rough water and so was headed for
New Haven. The party reached here
late in the afternoon. Young Upson's
father is a well known sailmaker at
Double Beach.
