rational Housework Dress.

Mrs Annie Jenness Miller says that she
believes that the house dress Gf the future
will be short enough; "that the woman
who goes up stairs, or who goes around
with all kinds of household implements,
will be able to go up stairs naturally, three
steps at time If she wants to, and get all
the benefit she can out of that exercise.
Going up and down stairs Is the best ex-
ercise in the world. And yet you can find
learned doctors who will warn women
against going up and down stairs. They
do 1t Justly, too, because the learned doctor
knows that a woman who has lot Of
skirts pressing down, who lifts herself up
and down stairs on levers, so to speak.
churns all the vital organs and does her
self infinite harm.
II have invented q houseworker' dress
which any woman can carry out for her
SELF" Mrs Miller went on to say. "It
does not require pattern. All you have
to do is to make the skirt come half way
between the knees and the ankle, and
make the waist and skirt all In one piece.
Then you can have u little Elton jacket
hanging over chair, and when caller
comes in all you have to do Is to slip of
your apron and slip on your jacket, and
you can entertain your friends in the par
lor. That Is utility in dress.

Lacing Not Good Form.

To be "laced" is now considered the
height of vulgarity. Fashion, frivolous
as she Is, does once In a decade strike
something sensible, and this is certainly
one of the times. Fancy the human figure
being expected to show the neck and waist
of the same proportion. Those who are
trying to live up to this false ideal must
have grown into deformity 1t is quite
natural the waist should be smaller than
the bust or hips, but it need not be stran-
gled. Few of us are constructed on the
lines of the ideal woman, SO that much Of
our beauty Of form depends on good cor
sets. These are of primary Importance
All modistes declare this, although few of
them have any preference, provided the
corset is suited to the figure wearing 1t.
What is needed is corset allowing plenty
of room at the bust and on the hips, inter-
fering in no way with the breathing and
catching one in just below the RIBS. The
trouble with corsets In general is they are
too long and press upon the ribs The
glove fitting corset is the correct mode. In
Paris the shortest sort of corsets are worn.
Every corset should have at least two laces

Ornaments In the Hair.

The fashion Of wearing ornaments in
the hair invariably commends itself An
admirable dignity and grace is frequently
given to the plainest face by the addition
of some tiara, star or other arrangement,
placed well forward, to obtain that smart,
piquant appearance which every one agrees
Is so desirable, and there Is no particular
necessity that anything shall be real, for
jewels are one of the few things which es-
cape the searching analysis of the day.
That the glitter is not always that Of dia-
monds affects us not at all, the only imper-
alive demand being that we shall indubi-
tably glitter-if not by real means, then
by sham. 1t Is impossible to conceive u
more serviceable present for the girl of So
cial instincts than one Of these most excel
lent imitation stars or bands, the which
she will pin, as described, in her bonny
brown hair and depart to the fray, safe in
the thought that so far as her coiffure Is
concerned she Is profoundly correct.-Phil-
adelphia Ledger.

POLO IN CONNECTICUT.
LNDICA TIONS POINT TO REVIVAL
or The GAME IN THAT STATE.
Manager Harris Of the Bddgeports Il Working
Hard For the Success Of the Scheme,

Dicky Pierce has received letter from
w. M. Harris, who managed the Bridge
port team In the Connecticut League six
years ago and says that the people down
that way are hungry for polo, with the In
dications of q revival Of the sport next
season. With the letter was clipping
from the Bridgeport Morning News as
follows:
"The present outlook for the revival of
the once popular game OF polo Is very
encouraging.
"Manager w. M. Harris, who managed
the old Bridgeport team, has been ap-
preached during the past week by num-
ber of prominent business men who have
offered HIM their support In forming q
new league. One gentleman was 80 en-
thusiastic that he promised Manager
Harris $500 to help form stock company.
Another gentleman offered Manager
Harris $1,000 and said he knew of at least
four more who would offer similar amounts
providing the revival of the game is q
certainty.
"This news will be well received by the
former cranks on this game who were
wont to shout with glee when the old
Bridgeports made their appearance on the
polished surface.
"Manager Harris said last evening that
as far as Bridgeport was concerned things
were all right, but he has not broached the
matter to men In other cities"
He will visit New Haven, Meriden,
Waterbury, Hartford and Springfield and
sound the sporting men in lthose .Lcities
regarding q league.

Again-General Sporting Notes.

The Witches outplayed the Tigers at
every point at Salem last night. The first
period was hotly contested, the only goal
being scored by Griffin just before the end
of thesinning. The passing and blocking
of both teams were of the finest descrip-
tion, while the goal tending Of Heffernan
was the finest ever witnessed in Salem.
Time and again the Tigers were on the
verge of scoring only to have their efforts
hzzled by Heffernan.
During the first two periods the Whit
ings covered Hipson, but when cor
nered he quickly passed the ball to
Griffin or Wiley, Griffin making four goals
in the first two periods. Lations added
one more to Salem's score by getting on
the floor and stopping the ball with his
knees. With the score to 0 against them.
Cunningham, who was feeling i'll, left the
floor, Leydon taking his place. In the
third period Pawtucket secured two goals,
while Salem added three more, but lost
one on fouls. Summary:

COTTERITES DEFEATED.

Providence Reservation.

The Red Men Were Laid Low on the
Providence Reservation.
Tommy Cotter was mad again last night.
In fact he was as ugly as wet hen, for
the crippled Grays rubbed defeat into his
hired men to the tune of Is tot. With
every prospect of recording victory Cot
ter brought Wodtke along with him, and
before the game, was so confident that he
went up to Capt. Canavan and said: "I'm
sorry, Jim, that your team is in such a
crippled condition, but we want this game
tonight, and don't want you to have any
hard feelings when hostilities cease" Gen
tleman Jim told the Heap Big Injun to go
ahead and do his worst, and incidentally
remarked that the Grays were going out
on the polished surface to do few things
also.
Menard was bacl. in the game, although
he played against the advice of his doctor.
Ed got right in the game and in the midst
Of the fray forgot all about the doctors
orders and abcesses. He drove for the net
with all his old cunning and passed the
ball around to his partners with the great
est accuracy. At the end Of the first inn
ing the score stood 2 to l in favor Of the
Fall Rivers, but in the second period the
Grays put on steam and pulled away from
the Fall Riverites. Curley and Cotter was
mad clear through. He banged tie ball
around the surface in his blood and thund-
er manner, pushed wearers Of the gray
jerseys right and left and called everybody
down, from little Russell to big Connell,
whom he called on in his desperation to
stem the tide of defeat. His efforts counted
for naught and he got the short end OF the
argument In a most pronounced style.
Every man on the Providence side played
well, Canavan especially doing some very
clever work. The summary:

Cotter's habit of indulging in a rag
masticating contest with his men after
their opponents win goal has much to do
with the way the team goes to pieces when
the opposing club gets the lead.
The great work of Mike Curley Saturday
night brings to mind the remarkable game
put up by Lations two years ago. The
game was with Providence, and Charlie
made 70 stops out of "a shots. The score
at the conclusion of the game was Paw
tucket Z, Providence 1.
Tom Cotter was asked after the game on
Saturday night why he didn't bring
Wodtke along. "Wen," said Tom, "he
wouldn't come. He plays when he feels
like 1t and when he don't he won't; that's
all there is to it. He's independent, and
does as he d pleases."
Says the Fall River Globe: "If Wodtke
was patterned after Bone and still possess
ed his unerring shooting qualities and de-
ceptive juggling, he and Everett could win
game all by themselves. But Wodtke
would rather stand around until he thinks
it's time for his club to score. Then he
CLUES his stick to the rubber and carries ii
to the net in the face of all kinds of oppo-
sition. That is the way he did the busi-
ness last night"
Billy Keough has received communica-
tion from the Maine league officials urging
him to come to Maine and act as referee
during the remainder of the season. They
incidentally mentioned that he was to
name his own figures and terms. After
thinking the matter over Billy decided to
keep out Of the game for the remainder OF
the season, but it il safe to assume that
next year will see him again on the floor,
Apparently our Maine contemporaries
don't take great deal of stock in the polo

changes.
