ROUGH RIDERS WIN.

-RpplfH- -RlllElSSANlN---
The Waterbury Rough Riders and
the Meridens played a lively game at
Meriden last night. Leydon's grip was
stolen during the return trip from the
afternoon contest and he was missed
from the game. Sword made his first
appearance here in goal and accom-
plished remarkable work. Both teams
put up great arguments and the last
period was the fastest and best ever
witnessed here. Summary:

Cartoonists Assist in
Making a Screen.

IN N impecnnious maiden with artistic
kA\ tendencies recently found hersel: in

aid.
After pricing the pretty things In tapes
try and oriental drapery our ingenious
maiden decided she must manufacture
something herself. She invested In a
heavy cartridge paper of dark gray Tone
which she carefully pasted on one side Of
the screen. Across the bottom she made
an artistic scroll design or sepia, and then
sat herself down to wait for visitors in
the artistic and decorative line, of which
she had many.
Her first caller was youth whose draw
ings have enlivened the pages of many a
daily journal. To him she explained her
predicament. and he good-naturedly pro-
duced the ubiquitous bit of crayon and
sketched In one of his popular cartoons.
Other friends soon came to her assistance,
and at the end of a week the screen was
finished. completely covered with auto
graphed sketches. all of considerable ar
tisttc merit and many of no little intrinsic
value as well.

''paleto,' or new automobile style, for
which there is such a craze this winter.
They were made OF such materials howev-
tr, tina: they could not be mistaken for
anything but evening coats. Bright COLI
ored velvets-otrsc, magenta, maroon. or
ange, electric and turquoise blues, scarlet
and violet-were chosen for many coats of
that style, and were trimmed with stitched
strips Of velvet, with fur, or with APP

were made of the appliques. and the plain
err coats were trimmed with either light or
dark furs the fur being used for collars
and sometimes for trimming the front OF

A wrap which might have been intended

the edges with mink. A large fluff Of chif-

to the floor. Pink silk roses were sewed
to the enls of the ties.

FASHIONS EADs AND FRlLLS.

Fashion would be lacking in some OF It's
interesting features IL 1t were not for the
fads which come and go without rhyme
or reason. One of these rs the Shake
speare bangle, a simple band of silver on
which a quotation from Shakespeare is
inscribed, and there Is variety in senti-
ment SO that the young school girls who
AFFECT such things can make suitable
selection
A novelty In a fur boa is made of two
whole sable skins spread out to their full
width and Joined one above the other, SO
that the upper hood and tail meet around
the neck and the extremities of the lower
one rest on the shoulders at either side
Of the 'front.' The skins are shaped little
to fit the shoulders, of course. but the ef-
feet is much as though two whole skins
had been carelessly tackled together.
As pretty as anything in the shops this
season are the ribbons, striped. lowered
open work, brocaded and frnsed In all the
pretty colors imaginable. Their chief use
Just at the moment seems to be exempli-
fled in the ncckwear. Two yards, or even
more, of ribbon, with silk fringe at the
ends, make very popular necktie, wound
twice around the neck, tied in knot or a
small boa in front, and knotted again low
down on the bust, where the ends fan to
the waist.
A rather striking costume worn by
young woman OF fashion Is black cloth
skirt, bright but rather a rose-red cloth
jacket and white cloth waistcoat.
Grebe Is colored in a variety of tints
which do not affect the gloss, and are
shaded, from light to dark. Grebe toques
are very popular.
So many cheap imitation furs are used
for the fur toques that their career may
be short.
violets are very much worn, both real
and artificial. and the latter sprayed with
the perfume OF Rhine violets are quite as
sweet as the genuine.
A pretty shirt waist has three narrow
box plaits on either side of the front, each
covered with embroidery and small tucks
fiji In the center of the back. A yoke in
the back is no longer considered indis-
pensable, and the prettiest are made with
out this ugly feature.
Graduated fringe is one of the novelties,
and far more graceful than the straight.
around variety. 1t is long and short,
forming broad points, and has a knotted
beading.
fawn cloth are made with a deep shaped
Hounce which rests on the floor all around
and is entirely covered with runs OF
stitching.
Beaded purses and bags OF small sizes
figure largely among the novelties in the
shops, and well worn. too, by the shoppers.

The Study Of bird Life"
Has Become Very Popular.

IT T Is quite the fad nowadays to study
bird life" This is one of the after
- effects, no doubt, of the birdless bon
net movement The out-of-door clubs are
becoming numerous. The middle of the
winter season will be spent in reading up
for the spring and autumn practical
studies. when the members actually take
to the woods" and study the birds in
their native homes. The method of study
is to start early in the morning with an
instructor who has become learned in
bird lore and can tell all about any twit-
tering little creature that is courageous
enough to light on a bough near enough
to be observed. The plumage of this bird.
its habits. its quality of song, Its particular
style Of nest building and all of its little
life are unfolded to the wondering student.

Good Income Secured BY
q New York housekeeper.

cTl1 HE story Of the visiting housekeeper
gets into the papers once in while.
"A but no one really knows whether
there isn't q good deal OF romance about
It. But there really are such people, and
they do very good work. and work that
Is appreciated. One woman has two fami-
Hes for which she keeps house. These are
among the wealthiest in New York. and
she gives them her entire attention and
has not time for anything else. She re-
ceives $50 a month from each family, SO
that she makes good income.
She Ii not paid for nothing, however.

she Is very thorough and up to date. The
problem OF 2 housekeeper In families OF
wealth has been as great ar that OF the
general domestic In families Of small
means. There are not many really good
housekeepers, and the reduced gentlewo-
man." II she knows the business, Is not
always willing. to take the houselSeeper's
position. The reduced gentlewoman has
not yet learned to take herself common
sensibly. But with the visiting housekeep-
mistress OF the house and the houSekeeper
are equally independent, and the arrange
ment seems to be ideal.
There are three other wealthy families
in New York-three sisters--who have
solved the problem OF the housekeeper by
importing the genuine English article the

absolutely mistress In her own sphere, and
has her own suite Of apartments and Is a

An idea which seems to be gaining favor
IS the use df soft silks for lining. or, rath-
CIR, for the foundation skirt Stiff gface silk
IS barred out for this special purpose, and
the distinctive rustic which can be heard
half a block away is no longer considered
elegant 1t is the soft swish. merely sug-
gesting silk-lined elegance which has the
cali this season.
Another point among the cloth costumes
made with the boiero and Elton coats Is the
fnterlining of perforated chamois to make
them warm enough for street wear These
little jackets are warmer than they look,
since most OF them are supplied with fur
collars and revers. or worn with fur boas
