SLEIGH RIDE

III was New Y ears Eve. Kate VI
vian the dressmaker in High Street,
was making preparations for the
sleigh ride party to be given the next
evening by Major Frank Fontaine.
1T isn't as if we were going all by
ourselves" demonstrated Kate to her
fiance, who had come to her to protest
that afternoon. "The Fetherstones
are to be of the party, and Mr.. Hyde
and Susie Mountbee, and"
Kate" said George Grayson, taking
her hand tenderly into his, "do not go.
Let my wishes weigh with you for this
once. Respect my prejudices, if preju-
dices you choose to call them, and give
up this mad expedition" But Kate
1erked the plump, pretty little hand
out of his.
Il am going she said, her dark
eyes sparkling with rebellious deter
mination. Il have promised Major
Fontaine, and | do not intend to break
my word"
Kate" he reasoned, do you know
what all this means?"
Il don't understand you" she said.
ut means that our engagement will
be broken. 1t means that you are
wearied of me-that you prefer the
brilliant companionship of Frank
Fontaine to my humble devotion@
She was silent. Once more he offered
her his hand
Goodbye, Kate" said he, pale but
quiet. For a second she hesitated;
and as he noticed the trace Of that
uncertainty in her face, his heart beat
high within his breast. But alas, the
eyes glittered disdainfully once again
the lovely coral lips compressed
themselves into an invisible thread
of scarlet She laid her hand lightly
in his "Good-by" she said, with for
nal courtesy And SO they parted
George Grayson went back, feeling
as If he had left dead corpse behind
him. He had loved little Kate Vivian
so well. so truly He had toiled so
perseyenngly and necessarily to make
a home for her; he had lived his life
so to speak. entirely with reference to
her-and now she had thrown him
away as carelessly as if he had been
a withered bouquet or worn glove.
"Are all women like that, | won
der?' he said to himself do all love
dreams end like mine?"
While little Kate ON her part, was
flushed and jubilant with sort of few
cred elation, half frightened to think
that she had really broken with
George Grayson, half angry that he
had had the will and resolution to
fling off the chains of her bondage
And even while she was selecting her
prettiest dress to go on the sleighing
expedition, and sewing new ribbons
upon her silky Gainsborough hat, she
flung the needle down and burst into
a hot, sparkling shower of tears.
Let him go!' she said Major
Fontaine is richer-handsomer-
stylish. And I am almost sure that
Major Fontaine loves me-"
Next day she put on the black
yelVeteen dress which had taken so
many months of her earnings at the
dressmaker's atelier to pay for, and set
forth upon the sleighing party.
1t was an ideal New Years after
noon; the meadows crusted over with
frozen pearl; the woods all "ajingle"
with icicles; the sun rising high in
the blue cold heavens, and every
little roadside stream sealed in shining

NWYEAR RARTY

Gan L, please, come to your New
Year party?" pleaded Jack Mason OF
his sister Dolly, who sat, with her
mother, industriously writing out in
vitations for party on New Years
afternoon.
Eyes, Dolly dear, why not invite
your brother and few of his young
friends, the brothers of the little girls
who are to be of your party?"
Because mamma" said Dolly en-
phaticallly, boys are horrid! And
they spoil all the fun. And, besides,
they eat up everything before we have
had time to get seated at the table,
We do not want any boys at our New
Year party
Just as you please, my dear. But
| think you make a mistake"
Jack said nothing but a mischiev-
Gus look came into his face.
On the afternoon of the party there
assembled in Mrs. Mason's parlor
twelve as pretty little girls as you
ever saw; and for an hour there were
games and such high revelry.
BY and by march was played upon
the piano, and then Dolly, at the head
of the grand procession, marched,
with another little girl at her side,
gravely through the parlors, around
the hall and then downstairs to the
feast in the dining-room.
Dolly glanced at the dishes and gave
cry.
ooh, mammal" said Dolly. Where
is all the cake?"
And Bridget. coming in at that mo-
ment, threw up her hands in astonish-
ment, exclaiming:
Where's all the ice cream and the
oranges? And look at thin sticks
and stones on the plates!"
It's those horrid boys" said Dolly.
1t was a saddened little company
that crept upstairs again after Mrs.
Mason had consoled them as well as
she could with sugar-cakes and bread
and butter. And as the games prog
ressed, there We're tears Of mortifca-
ton wiped off many a little girls
cheek.
Mrs. Mason. going out the back door
called the boys and had long talk
with them.
Now, boys" said she, there is
only one thing you can do to be for
given"
What is it?" asked the boys, for
they felt ashamed
DO as l say, and all will be WE'LL"
Young ladies'" said Mrs. Mason,
appearing in the parlor later you are
requested by the young gentlemen to
come down into the dining room They
have something nice to give you"
Now speak your little speech,
jack" said Mrs. Mason, "and then
the young ladies will understand"
Young ladies, said Jack, I'VE wish
to ask you to join us at our New Year
feast. We heard" (here Jack
stopped to cough a little) that you
We're disappointed in yours. and with

night, that boys are very pleasant and

JOY TO THE WORLD.

Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
Let earth receive her King;
Let every tongue with sacred mirth
His loud applauses sing
Hark, bark, what news, what joyful
news,
To all the nations round;
To-day rejoice, King Is born,
Who is with glory crown'd.
Behold! He comes, the tidings spread,
A Savior full of grace;
He comes, in mercy, to restore,
A sinful, fallen race.

in any respect in directing in any man ner whatever the policemen. It Is the chiefs duty to do that. l call attention to this in refernee to the old ruts.
 Take the charter and read 1t with care and YOU will be able to determine what Is right. There is to-day terrible demorali- zation in the force. Every member seems to be against the chief or some sergeant, or each other. It seems to be the present duty of policemen to stand on the corner and get somebody 10 use his Influence 10 get Il promotion. There are tales of woe against other members or fhe department and in consequence there is demoralization. 1 do not believe you will allow policemen to do duty of this sort. l should think 1t sufficient to cause removal from the force. If they are allowed to do this there is no end to the trouble. If you do not, then the police force will not suffer and the public will have the satisfaction of better re- suits.
 ''I'iI sometimes assist you and am always ready to do what l can to assist you in the work which l believe can be placed on q footing satisfactory alike to the police chiefs of police you will have poor police department and the chief will not be in Il position to do his work satisfactorily.

 Commissioner Thompson asked; Are there any new laws or amendments to old laws concerning the department?'
 Mir. Corey replied: Only that pension business and the title of the chief being changed"
 You have copies of the charter?" asked Judge Studley.

AT "PLAYRIDGE."

Scores Enjoying the Generous Hospi-
 tality of Mrs. Francis Bacon's Cot 1 tage.
 "Playridge," the beautiful cottage built by Mrs. Francis Bacon on Bur-
 wells Beach at Woodmont, is already filling the mission for which its gene
 rous and thoughtful owner intended it.,
 bringing happiness into the lives of scores of less fortunate people who oth-
 erwise could not enjoy an outing at the shore, with the invigorating sea breezes, the delicious, appetizing fresh air, the
 change of scene and every essential
 comfort. Vast good of the most prac-
 tical and helpful sort results from such
 admirable philanthropy as Mrs. Bacon
 has instituted at "Playridge,' and bet
 ter far than riches is her reward. The cottage occupies a spacious and charming site, commanding a beautiful
 water view, and is but short way from the Merwin Beach restaurant, and
 two minutes walk from the point where the Woodmont cars stop The house is admira bly, arranged for it's purpose, is handsomely finished and very attractive in every way. Mrs. Ba- con gives the use of it to invalids and people, old and young, sent by charita- ble organizations. For two weeks this season thirty persons from the Home for the Friendess occupied the cot tage; last week and this week fifteen people from the Welcome Hall Mission on Oak street are there; following are to go some persons sent by St. PauPs church, and later some sent by the City Mission. So it will go all summer long. The cottage and it's furnishings, including housekeeper, is given by Mrs. Bacon; the food supply is fur nished by the various organizations whose charges occupy the cottage.
 A meeting of the "Playridge" com- mttee was held at the cottage Satur- day afternoon Those present were Mrs Francis Bacon, MT. and Mrs. George F. Newcomb, Mrs. w. H. Hawkes., Mrs George L. Dickerman, Miss Prudden, Mr. Max Adler, Mrs. Gardener Morse, Miss Bulford, all of New Haven, Mrs. c. F. Thompson of Woodmont and Mrs. Anderson, wife of Rev. pr. Anderson of Waterbury, who are spending the summer at their cot tage at Woodmont Mrs. Newcomb presided at the meeting and the re- ports read were very gratifying. Great results have already been accom- plished and much more good will be done before the snow flies. Play ridge" is a glorious success. Would that there were thousands like it.

be Studied.
 Members of the new board of police com missioners as appointed by Mayor Studley were sworn into office at noon yesterday. The mayor took the opportunity to advise the board regarding it's duties and offered some wholesome advice.
 The meeting of the new board was held Ill the mayors office as the city hall clock struck F and the following men were sworn in: Sherwood $. Thompson, Dr. Frank H. Wheeler, James Lawton and James r. Manning. Commissioners Lee and Corey were not sworn in as the former holds office until July l and Alr. Corey for two years more.
 Mayor Studley invited the reporters into the meeting of the new board and said that his suggestion was that the public be given matters in arguments before the board so long as they did nto affect the dis cipline or secret workings of the depart ment
 Without preface Mayor Studey, when the commissioners had taken seats, said: Tt is not my intention to, deliver lecture to you gentlemen at this time but merely to make a few suggestions which trust will re- ceive your consideration. l have been ask ed in regard to the disposition of the de- posed captains but I do not recall that l the matter. As l said. 1 have been asked what you intend to do with the men. l have selected you gentlemen for this board us leyel-headed business men thoroughly competent to act properly in this matter without suggestions from me, but there are some things you will do well to consider. Things ill all boards get to running in cer- tain ruts and members of boards become finally of the belief and into the position that things must not be changed. You should not be nasty in deciding to drop into the old ruts and you may be required to make some changes that do not come un- der the old way.
 In regard to the duties of commissioners l wish you would look at the charter and look at 1t carefully. By doing so l believe you will discover Il dividing line between the duties of the commissioners and those of the chief of police. We have had too many chiefs during the past few years and the only outcome has been d question Of demoralization, and the natural result is that demoralzation comes from having too many chiefs. The chief is supposed to en- force the laws He is appointed by the mayor and 1 presume he is in office to en- force the laws. Sometimes 1t may be em- barrassng to the chief to be instructed to do this or. not to do that in enforcing the laws. He does not make the laws; the com missioners do not make the laws and 1 do not make them. This seems to be his duty. If he does not do it, it is my duty to re- move him. The practice of commissioners in the past seems to have been to go through the streets and to tell policemen to do this and do that and to vote for this person and not for that. and to close this saloon and leave open that. l don't believe it is the duty of commissioners to interfere with policemen In any manner, especially 1 with their political prefernces. The com missioners have no right to use their power
