 All indications point to the reign of the short skirt as the correct walk ing skirt, and shapely basque with hip pockets will return with the tight fitting coats, for the tailor styles that have been almost eclipsed by dressier modes will be again in favor with fashionable women.
 New Paris models point strilkingly toward the combination in costume of a shoulder bolero coat and skirt of the same cloth or velvet.
 The long plaited basqued coat repre- sents popular style.
 Oriental embroidery is introduced as a decidedly new and chic touch on the dark cloth tailor costumes.

JONATHAN EDWARDs's WIFE

In the Edwards family household matters were left chiefly to Mrs Ed wards, though the head of the house paid close attention to the religious training of his children. Although Edwards dearly loved to study, he also loved his wife and family. Mrs Edwards was an able housewife. and must have been model helpmate, for George Whitefeld, the great preacher, wrote in his diary that if it should be the Lords will that ever he should marry he prayed the Lord would send him for wife such a woman as Mrs Edwards, whom he regarded as the most beautiful and noble wife for 8 Christian minister he had ever known. Mrs Edwards was thoroughly in svm- pathy with her husbands work. and that he appreciated this sympathy was evident all through their married life. When dying of smallpox at Princeton. March p, 1759, his last thoughts were of her. Mrs Edwards also contracted the disease and her death followed her husbands within a few weeks. Mrs Edwards is described as a won- derfully beautiful woman. Her mai den name was Sarah Pierrrepont, and she was the daughter of the Rev James Pierrepont of New Haven. She was IF years old when married, and Edwards was "A. They reared a fam fly Of ten children, the descendants of whom include many men of note in this and other countries. A few years ago there was family reunion in Stock bridge, and as result of this gathering a memorial monument was erected just across the street from the site of the Mission church and close to the old cemetery.

Indians; Farms odd Freak.

Kosciusko county, in the far northern end of the state of Indiana, recently furnished a rival for Brown county's earthquake farm, says the St. Louis Post Dispatch. W. S. Blatchley state geologist, received letter from Joshua Leffel, living on farm near Silver lake, stating that he had a two acre pasture that had some of the tenden- cies of an electric battery. By tapping the foot on the ground or by striking the surface with a stick startling sounds are produced "One can hear peculiar cracking noise," he says. ''It resemblea the sound produced by the breaking of ice. Again, there may be snapping sound like that produced by throwing salt on hot stove. The noise is so distinct that it may be heard from one to three rods away Ac- cording to Leffel, the strangest freak of the pasture is that one may receive 8 shock as if from galvanic battery py simpEss s.s=shing the hand upon the Ersuud

"MASSA."

Our northern friends seem to know as little about negro lingo as they know about negro chara cter. If they write 'sam' for ''is" and ''b'' for ", or ''tl'' and ring in a ''done" in most unexpected places and write ''massa for master. they think they are writ ing negro dialect They have manu- factured a dialect of their own and stick to it. It is strange to us that they do not study the writings of Joel Chandler Harris Frank Stanton, Tom Page, Polk Miller and other southern authorities If so they would save themselves many a blunder
 One of the most notable blunders the northern writers make is the use of the word 'tmassa" for the genuine negro word 'smarster.' Strange enough, some southern writers of the new generation have fallen into the same error. If we remember. Miss Winnie Davis. in one of her books. puts the counterfeit into the mouth of one of her negro characters. We have often wondered where the counterfeit came from Surely, we never heard a slave say ''massa." and We have. nev- CT seen any southern man who did. Perhaps it originated in the old song, "Massa's in de col, col ground" But where did the composer of the song get the word? Does anybody know We have repeatedly asked the dues- tfon and have never received satis- factory reply = Richmond Tdmes-Dis- patch.

At the lower part of the shoulder the fat is to be found: cut this into thin slices from D to E, and help 1t with a slice of the lean.
 For a saddle of mutton make a cut right down the backbone from A to B: then take noff thin slices in the same direction, holding each upon the fork and loosening it all the way down. Cut the fat at the rib end from c to D in thin slices, and help it with the lean meat Frequently, before carving, the kidneys, which are underneath, are taken out with the fat and cut into slices.

THE HALLOWEEN PARTY,
Timely Suggestions Which Will Be
 Found of Value.


 It goes without saying that the first essential of a successful Hal lowe'en party is fun-loving spirit. With that in evidence it matters not whether the frolic is held in attic, hall or drawing room, though of course, the first-named is given the preference, and is by all means to be chosen if at all suitable in size. The decorations should be suggestive of wood, field and fen--the haunts of elves, fairies pixies witches and other imps of earth air and sea whose an nual holiday this night is. Strings of onions, apples, red peppers and the bittersweet vine are decorative with sheaves of wheat and cornstalks. If it is difficult to obtain pumpkins for jack o'lanterns, use round pasteboard boxes covered with deep yellow crepe paper. Serve lemonade (or cider) from a moss-covered wooden bucket with long-necked gourd for dipper
 The invitations should be in the form of a four-leaf clover decorated with a grinning jack o'lantern, black cat and q bat. If the company is to be served at tables. the menu should be sketched in crooked letters suggest
  i've of Japanese characters, with the words spelled backward (of course they can be readily deciphered with the aid of a mirror) on onion skin pa per and rolled in milkweed pods. If preferred the menu can be sketched as suggested on a large sheet in poster effect and hung in a conspicuous place just as refreshments are to he served A suggested menu is given with this explanation: The first num- Der is water, which with the last three is tho only genuine thing served For the second number little jars of com plcxiGn cream are passed on server O. set on the table without comment. The third of course is a live fish in globe. Number four is toy sheep with a string of dried beans around the neck, while number five is raw, unpeeled potatoes followed by un- cooked beets, spaghetti tor macaronil, with an ear of corn. American punch is boxing glove; Indian pudding is an Indian doll in a pudding dish; sponge cake, a sponge in cake pan. The Pilgrim.

MONEY CAME BACK.
Major Steele Made Loan of $5 Be

fore the War.
 Major William c. Steele. the well known policeman, says the Hartford Courant, was standing in the Allyn street entrance to the station yester- day morning when an elderly gentle. man dressed in clerical clothes ap- preached him hurriedly, and said Your name is Steele isn't it?" Upon receiving an affirmative answer the stranger continued You don't know me do you?" MT Steele regretted that he could not recall having ever seen the man before but confessed to a poor memory for faces. Glancing about nervously at train which stood on the north-bound track the clerical looking gentleman continued: Well, don't blame you. You haven't seen me in forty years. My name is -, son of pr -, who used to practice in this city before the war. I used to know you when was boy and you first showed me how to hold drumsticks."
 MT Steele instantly remembered his former playmate and started to ply him with questions about where he Idu UcSl1 dllO AOW hG WdS hACus The ex-Hartford boy, however, inter- rupted him,7by saying that he was on his way to Boston on the train then standing in the station and that he wanted to transact some business dur ing the moments that were left. As he said this he drew from his pockets several bills. including $5 note. and held them out toward MT Steele.
 s'What's this for?" asked the latter
 s'Why. don't you remember when you and Captain Blakeslee and anoth- CT fellow and I went to New York at the beginning of the war and l got strapped in New York? You loaned me $5 to tide over the crisis. My father took me out of the army few days later because I was under age. and did not have his consent to enlist. I, went to college, entered the ministry and am now pastor of large church in Boston. I have often remembered your generosity and vowed that if ever went to Hartford would look you up and returne your loan with in- terest. So here it is''
 Mir Steele said that he could not re- member having been so generous and refused the money The clerical gen.
 
 tleman persisted and seemed so much in earnest that the major finally com promised on s, throwing off the in terest
 But how did you know was Steele?' asked the money-lender.
 "When the train pulled in thought of you and wished that I had time to stop and see you I knew that you were on the police force and when the train came to stop, from my seat I could see a policeman standing in the entrance to the station, who, 1 thought. had many of the features I remembered. I immediately jumped off the train and upon inquiry, found that it was really you, Steele, my playmate of forty years ago.
 'sWell. I'll be- said the major. Just then the words, "All aboard" were heard, andS the clerical gentle man. gathering up his toattails and shouting "Good-bye," dashed for the Boston train.

A new process for making limitations of statuary marble, onyx and other null ticolored stones has been devised in Eu- rope. About 1000 parts of alum to from 10 to 100 parts of heavy spar (barium sulphate) and 100 parts of water are mixed with the requisite pigments, and the liquid mass is boiled down and cast in mold The amount of heavy spar used varies with the degree of translu- cence disired. After being nodded and dried, the artificial stone thus produced can be polished and finished as desired Industrial Journal.

GAN ARIsToCRAT."

William Bonelli and Rose Stahl in "An Aristocrat'' will be the attraction at Polis this evening, and the perform ance ought to be one of great interest. MT Bonel1i is we'll known as an actor of grace, dignity and power. In so- ciety play of the nature of "An Aristo- crat," with it's beautiful love scenes, delicious comedy and concentrated in- terest, he appears to his very best ad- vantage. He is an actor who knows how to wear evening clothes as they should be worn, and is at the same time every inch man, and a gentle man, acting with superb technique and a force and fire that is both pleasing and magnetic. As for Miss Rose Stahl, it is scarcely necessary to say much. Miss Stahl is a we'll recognized exponent of all that is good in the American drama. She is beyond doubt one of the very foremost actress es on the American stage, and she Is possessed of a charm of personality which makes her artistic work doubly interesting. "An Aristocrat' is in four acts. It tells a story which appeals to everyone and it is not marked by maukish sentimentality. or ludicrous and impossible situations. It Is soci- ety drama of logical construction, and is embellished with superb scenery and beautiful costumes. Prices are 25, 35. 50, 75 cents and S1.
