NATURAL OYSTER SET RUINED.
Result of Scouting Extension of Time
 for Dredging Last Year.

Bridgeport, Sept. 20.-'Through their action in securing an extension of ten days time in the oyster season last year, from July 20 to July 30, the na- tural oyster growers of this section practically ruined the entire set of this year, estimated to be worth nearly q million dolrars. The season opened to- day and there was a great rush of the fleet of 200 small craft to the na- tural grounds off this port. The first gatherings of this years set surprised and chagrined the growers. The set was very small, and every oyster was covered with the new set, resembling in appearance chestnut burr.
 There were a number of New York buyers in port, and they with the local growers were greatly disappointed in the set The New York buylers return co the city without purchasing a bushel of the set. The vessels brought into the harbor some 5000 bushels for the first days work, and there was only a market for 900 bushels, so the extent of the loss can be estimated.
 It was explained that the reason for the almost complete failure of the set was the extension of time granted last season, during which the growers drdged the beds completely clean, and as a consequence this years spawn has nothing in the shape of gravel or shells to attach to but the set of oysters, and both last years and the new set are spoiled being attached to each other. The fact that the entire set is virtually spoiled is greatly to be regretted. It means a loss of many thousands of dollars for the year among the grow CTS. The natural growers will now probably have to fall back on the pri- vate bed owners for stock.

Fashion to BE Motheriy.

Some cynics say it is merely one Of
the poses of the fashionable mother
when she let's herself be seen in public
with her children around her. But
some stout defenders of Mrs. Fifth
Avenue say she really feels the spirit
Of that Roman mother who said of her
offspring, "These are my jewels" Mrs.
S. Barton French rarely goes for a
drive in the afternoon without at least
one of her children in her victoria,
and Mrs. Oliver Gould Jennings Pd
Mrs. Francis ID. Beard seldom are seen
without one or more of their hopes
with them when walking or driving.
Usually the children are dressed in
such a fashion that the mothers beauty
Is set off. Henry T. Sloane preserves
this tradition of family affection, and
always takes one of his younger daugh-
ters with him when he goes for his
afternoon drive. A development of this
idea Is the current fad Of mothers hav-
ing their photographs taken with their
children grouped around them. Yet 1t
was only few years ago when such
family pictures" We're thought to be-
long exclusively to Coney Island. Posi-
lively that man Roosevelt Is getting a
llowing.-Newark Advertiser.

There is probably no other branch Of
human knowledge about which the
popular conception is so vague as the
science of medicine. In theory peo-
pie no longer look upon the physician
as a man endowed with supernatural
Insight and power; but, in fact, they
still regard him in that light. They
call him to attend a case and expect
him to see at a glance the nature Of
the disease. its cause and is remedy.
They confidently trust 20 him to pre-
pare some mysterious compound that
shall by magic work the desired trans
formation in the weak and alling body.
When he falls. they blame him; when
he succeeds, they extol him.
All this is merely childish credulity.
Man is powerless to effect cure. He
can no more change the tissue of the
human body than he can add a cubit to
his stature Only nature cures. The
utmost the wisest physician can do
Is to secure TO his patients such phys
ical conditions as favor natures restor-
ative processes.

Now the Filing Cont.

Very smart are the little fling coats.
Some Of these abbreviated wraps reach
but TO the top of the glrdle, and yet
others come to the hips. A few end
at the waist line.
A white chiffon yolle with emerald
green discs embroidered at intervals
on the blouse and the foot OF the
skirt, amid other trimmings, is fitted
out with the cleverest fling coat. which
has thus been chrlstened tor obvious
reasons. Not so long since a garment
of similar usefulness was called the
coffee coat.
This particular example is of emer-
aid green tafreta. 1t Is peated and
short-sleeved and adorned with en-
broldery and touches OF lace at the
neck and front. 1t provides Just the
necessary warmth with the sheer
blouse and may serve for theatre or
restaurant coat.
one in white taffeta shows an Eton

length pleating, the sleeves being on
corresponding lines.
These small coats may be had alone
or as part of three-piece costume.

The well-dressed woman Is always a
woman of keen intelligence and brain
power No senseless doll knows how
to dress. She may don gaudy raiment,
spend a fortune on gown so utterly
inappropriate to the occasion that one
can only feel an Intense pity for her;
but no one would ever dream of lay
ing the burden of her sin against good
form and good taste at the door Of
the whole Of her sex, says the Wash
ing Times.
The woman who dresses well. in
conformity with her age, her work,
and her position in society, choosing
neither extreme Of the prevailing
modes, but striking a happy medium,
is the woman who has brains and
uses them to make good selection
from the fashions Of the day. 1t is
the well-groomed, suitably gowned
woman who attalns success, whether
in business or social life.
The age of the blue stocking has
passed, and nowadays the woman who
dresses unbecomingly through choice
and not for the sake of economy is re-
garded as either mentally weak or as
seeking some eccentric form of self
advertisement, which is but another
phase of objectionable vanity. In the
commercial world the dowdy, insignifi-
cant woman, even il she has mental
ability, is at a discount when COM
pared with the well-dressed woman,
confident and smiling, with bright ca
pacity written all over her comely per-
son.
The latter has learned an essential
fact-that confidence is born of good
clothes; and therefore, with genuine
brain power, reasons the necessity Of
making the most of all her good
points. BY doing this she engenders
the feeling that her dress adds to her
appearance, she knows that it is fin
ished in every detail, and thus as
sured, her business assumes first i'm
portance and success Is gained by the
forgetfulness Of self.
The woman orator. the actress, the
singer, the musician, all understand
''the philosophy of clothes" as a power
ful adjunct to their personality. And
this personality Is to them of as para.
mount Importance as their own individ-
ual gifts.

Women and Laughter.

A Partisan physician has started a
school Of laughter This is surely an
innovation. We are accustomed to
hear that we may "laugh and grow
fat but whether the threat conveyed
is such that the average woman is
afraid Of increasing her avoirdupois or
whether she is too lazy to do more
than smile occasionally is not known,
but II Is fact that women do not
often laugh. They smile, and alas!
too often glggle, but hearty laugh is
becoming rare thing. Some people
claim that the childhood training, fore
Ing girls to be less bolsterous and re-
strain their hilarlty, has resulted in
the absence Of laughter among women,
and surely an unmusical roar Is any
thing but pleasing but let us try to
cultivate the musical tlnkle," the "sll.
very laugh" so much vaunted by the
novelist, and in return we are prom.
ised that not only shall we be more
attractive. but entirely free from dys.

A Frank Demsanor.

A frank demeanor, the open look and
the genial manner are excellent quail
ficatiOns, but a wise man confronts us
with this subtle soliloquy:
'The thlefs ability to look you in the
eye while he makes plausible state
ments is part of his stock In trade"
Notwithstanding the apparent truth
Of the utterance quoted there is we'll
marked 'Ine between sincerity and dis
sembling and 1t requires no great stu
dent Of human nature to divine II.
Therefore, It can only be said that a
good thing, rs frankness Of manner un.
doubtedly Is, need not be thrown away
as valueless because it is used as a
cloak for evil by the unworthy. The
unrlghteous often use the "livery of
heaven to serve the devil in." The boy
beginning life should cultivate frank
ness, truthfulness and fearlessness and
not be deceived by any suspicious
sophistry about assembling. g.-New

As to the Use of Perfume,

Much has been said of the vulgarlty
of scent. Well, of course, there are
vulgar perfumes, just as there are low
music and art. The real reason of the
TRADE against the vulgarity of per-
fumes no doubt lies in the fact that the
scent bottle Is made too evident. A
woman Of taste, in whatever class OF
life. will not pour in the eau de cologne
by the pint. 1t is something far mord
delicate that she requires. 1t is not a
rapid evaporation Of strong scent that
she delights in, but very faint, cling
ing fresh vlolets in her linen cupboard
or hanging her dress in wardrobe
where scent bottle is left to evapor-
ate slowly. 1t takes a long time for
the subtlest part of the scent TO get
into every fibre of the texture, but
when she wears that dress there is no
vulgarlty about it. She brings q kind
Of fragrant presence with her into the

she goes, reminding men of summer
evenings in pleasant gardens where
the lilies blow.--Modern Society.

as they choose, instinctively make so
many different motions that they seem
to use all their muscles. When peo-
pies ideas Of propriety shall have be-
come what they should be grown peo-
pie can exercise like children. without
being considered daft or silly. Mary
of the performances Of children seem
to older persons purposeless and use
less. There is such state of ignorance
and prejudice that many people OF
considerable education lack very much
of having a proper conception Of the
relation of exercise to life and health.
One may learn and practice with bene-
st system of exercises, as many do,
without having the acquaintance with
the principles involved that makes pos
slble the greatest benefit and interest
and enjoyment. There is an important
advantage in knowing the reasons for
the various movements, and what mus
cles make each movement, and how
muscles use bones as levers.

The pleated skirts are popular and
pretty.
White linen coat suits tailored and
heavily embroidered are shown.
Linen holds its own, especially in the
long coat suits, which are practical and
becoming.
Most of the separate coats are in
plain tailored styles, with colored vel
vet collars.
All sorts Of efforts have been made
to introduce the wearing Of artificial
flowers as corsage ornaments, but so
far the American woman will have
none OF It,
Skirts grow wider and wider. Even
the moderate ones are now at least
five yards around the hem, while eight
are not too many to be considered for
skirts of thin material.
There are methods of laundering and
cleaning which are secrets to the world
in general, but which make 1t possible
and even practical to make wash fab
rics into such dainty creations.
The possibilities OF the silk coat on
basqued bodice. with sheer skirt have
not been exhausted, and the drossmak-
ers are yylng with one another In
ringing charming variations upon this
idea.
The semi-tailored gown is the latest
outgrowth. The skirts OF these gowns
are as correct In line and finish as the
tailor's art can make them, while the
jackets or coats are exquisitely made,
a5d are more or less elaborate.
