CHILDRENS' LOVE OF THE GRO-
 TESOIIE

Children love the grot esque. This is shown, for example, in their autumnal habit of making Jack-o'-lanterns. They glory In the wide, saturnine smile of the pumpkin man. This love seems but an evolution from their infant affection for the man in the moon, who surely is, judging from his facial expression, Jacks close kinsman.
 About the same time of year the chil- dren have & mania for false faces, and at all times take keen delight In mak- ing grimaces, or what they call fun ny faces"
 Juvenile literature is greatly influ- enced by this love for the grotesque. It Is the expression of child's sense of humor; it supplies the need we all have for something to laugh at. In the Brownies Palmer Cox has appealed with marvellous success to this strong characteristic. And loving the Brownies as they do in print and picture how much more will the children love them and take delight in them In real life. This will be their privilege on the even ing of June 6 and the afternoon of the 7th. at the Hyperion, at the Hyperion, under the auspices of the boys depart ment of the Young Mems Christian as- sociation.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Mrs, William 1T. Booth.

After a particularly distressing il- ness of four weeks duration Sara A., wife of William T. Booth of 61 Dwight street, pa ssed from pain into peace at o'clock yesterday morning. Mrs Booth was a native of this city, and for many years had been closely iden- tified with it's religious and philanthropy ic activities. She had held many posi- tons of honor and trust, and had been faithful and untiring in her devotion to the interests of Christ church of which she was a member and to the charitable organiza tions with which, from time to time, she had been prominently asso- ciated.
 For several years she filled the office of resident of the Ladies' Seaman's Friend society. She also served most efficiently, for four years, as general secretary of the Connecticut Indian as- sociation, and at the time of her death was secretary for the New Haven branch of the Audubon society. Into all her activities she carried unusual executive ability, clear judgment, indi- viduality of character which distin- suished her among her friends. ac- Qualnra0ceS ana CO-ldDOTGTS III IITlS- tian and educational work along many lines. Her ideals were of a high order, and she found less attraction in the so- called social side of life than in the ef- fort to live up to the true meaning of her own interpretation of the high, stern featured beauty Of plain devoted ness to duty. She will be sadly miss ed by friends and associates in this city and else where, but outside of her im- circle of relatives and friends her loss will nowhere be more keenly felt than in Christ church. Her work there was sou-work, and into it she put the most and the best that was in her.
 Mrs. Booth is survived by her hus- band, and a daughter, Miss Alice T. Booth, and by an only sister, Mrs. Sid ney H. Dawson.
 The funeral services will be held in Christ church on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.

 Well" said Captain Snow, at the same time handing the man piece of rope, If you can find three ends to that rope you shall have work

 There's one end your honor,' he said.
