FRILLS OF FASHION.

The fact that the desire for ornamenting and
decorating the body was the original impulse
which led the feminine mind into the realm Of
fashion may account for the craze in jewelled
chains which seems to possess all womankind.
1t apparently has no limit. and women OF all
ages deck themselves out with some sort Of
chain with whatever suitable article Mt the end
OF 1t they happen to own.. Itmay be a lorgnette,
a watch. a smelling bottle or a purse; it is all
the same. since the. chain is the supreme object

silk with black coque feather trimming makes
a gorgeous domino. and still another striking
one Is OF black satin with a yellow satin hood,
which. like all other hoods. is wired to flare
around the face SO as not to interfere with the
mask. One advantage OF the new domino for
fancy dress is that it can be made first for the
evening wrap. and ,Iby adding the large hood. be
easily transformed into a fancy dress costume.

preston OF Christmas gayety. There are fash
ions In fancy dress. too. despite the fact that
the famous characters OF history and fiction are
always brought forth as ideal models for the fam
cy costume. A fancy dress ball without a Marie
Antoinette may be an execution but she is not
to lead the procession this season. Something
illustrative of the Bohemian life. of Sicilian
peasants, the fishermen and women OF the Isle
of Markcn. or the Chinese nobility. seems to APP
peal to the present taste for distinctive dress.
Nevertheless. there always is n charm in the ro-
mantle side Of character dressing: so men and
women both. and women in particular, find a
pleasing inspiration in masQuerading az some
idealiZed character familiar to every one.
For children there is nothing quito so fascin-
ating as a fancy-dress ball. and there Is no end
to pretty costumes for them, since they look so
quaint and attractive in miniature gowns of
Rrown-up characters. The soldiers uniform
appeals to a boy most Of all this season, and IL
you deck him out in a Generals or an Admiral's
uniform he will puff up with a lofty cock-of
the-walk sort Of pride that will make him the
especial object OF envy. The soldiers garb is
a significant as well as becoming dress. and
patriotic impulses have many advantages under
such happy auspices. so we cannot improve
nach on this selection.

 Kimberly, Root & Day say: "The in crease in the price of Boston Electric Light company stock has been one of the notable financial features of the week. One of the officials of the com pany is quoted as saying the rise in the price of the stock is probably due to the fact that the recent statement sent out to the stockholders by the com pany shows that the company earned about 14 per cent. on the stock last year. The dividend rate has continued at 6 per cent and while the conserva- tism of the directors may not increase at present the dividend rate, the prop- erty is constantly improving in yalue and even at $50 per share holders net i per cent. on the investment"

SECOND REGIMENT OFFICERS.
Quarterly Meeting Held at the Armory

Quarterly Meeting Held at the Armory
 Last Night.
 The regular quarterly meeting of the officers of the Second regiment was held in the armory last night. In the absence of Colonel Burpee, Lieutenant Colonel Callahan was chairman. The principal business was the appointment of committee to arrange all details necessary, should state camp be held.
 There are numerous things that must be done before the regiment can go into camp and this committee will care for these matters if the call is issued. The matter of a regimental shoot was also discussed, but nothing was done be- cause of the uncertainty of a state camp. If the regiment goes into camp the shoot will be held there, if not it will be held in the near future. The regiment yesterday received from the state a beautiful regimental flag. It is of heavy silk, bound with a gold fringe, with a blue field and a, state insignia upon it. The old regimental flag has been in use so many years that it is almost worn out and needed replacing. The officers are proud of the new flag and may justly be so.

Six Just Admitted to Practice in Con

 The examining committee of the State Medical society, consisting of Dr. Mailhouse of this city, Dr. Fuller of Hartford, Dr. Calef of Middletown, Dr. Amy of Norwich and Dr. Wright of Bridgeport, have reported favorably on the examination of the following appli- cants for permission to practice medi- cine in Connecticut: John Stanton Blackmar of Norwich, John Joseph Guilshan of New York, Henry Edward Hungerford of Bristol, Russell Hubert of Middletown, Charles A. Rider of West Bedding and Heman A. Tyler of Hartford. There were eighteen appli- cants, and of these six passed, six were conditioned and six failed absolutely Of the six who passed all but MT. Blackmar are Yale graduates. Black mar is graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York city.
 The examinations were held about two weeks ago in the city hall and the examining physicians say that the rather unsatisfactory showing made by twelve of the candidates indicates the need of a four year medical school course.
