SEATS ON SALE IN TWO PLACES
Satisfactory Rehearsal Behind Closed
 Doors Last Night.

Doors Last Night.
 It has been decided by the managers of the New Haven Oratorlo society to hold the sale of seats for the concert on Thursday night in two places; at the M. steinert Sons Co.,, from to p. m', and in the Woolsey hall box office i'll the morning from Il until 1 p. m.
 On the day of the concert Woolsey hall box office will be open all day until the hour for beginning. p. m.
 Last night the oratorio held the hrst rehearsal before the concert in Wool sey hall with the grand organ. It was a most satisfactory rehearsal, and au- gured brilliant things for the presenta- tion night. It looks now as though a large audience would do honor to the composer of St. Christopher, and to the first concert of the year by the oratorio society. Although many excellent seats at 50 cents and 75 cents are to be had, there ought not to be vacant seat in Woolsey hall on Thursday night for it ought to be said to the glory of New Haven, as a musical town, that a dis tinguished composer who has been in- tenationally honored, received his re- ward in his own home city. There is no reward for genius other than that of appreciation-a trite remark, but a true one.

SERIES OF ROBBERIES.
HEW HOUSES BROKEN INTO AND
 VALUABLES CARRIED OFE

Scene of Operations New Mansion
 Houses on Prospect and St Roman
 streets-YaIuable Tools, WOrkmen's
 Clothes and Kegs of Nails Carried
 Away.
 A series of robberies of the most per sistent kind has just been brought to
 light. The first of these was reported
 to have taken place on the evening Of November the Fist, while the most recent took place between Friday night and Saturday morning last. The scene of action selected by the perpetrators,
 who up to the present have not been discovered, are the many new mansion house new being built in the vicinity of Prospect street, St. Roman street,
 Edgehill road and vicinity. According to the story as related by one of the contractors, the thieves, by their meth- ods of breaking into the places, seem to be amateurs at the work, and 1t IS generally thought that they are well acquainted with the district, and also the places broken into. One instance
 where two unopened kegs of nails were carried off shows that a wagon or oth- CT vehicle must have been used in get ting the stolen goods away to a safe hiding place. Expensive tools belong ing to the workmen have been taken, causing them not only the loss of the same, but also a great inconvenience, l as some of them could not be replaced for several days. Two valuable auto l mobile lamps belonging to Mir. Fergu- son of Cleveland, O., one of the con- 1 tractors, were also carried away. On the evening of November 21, at the new mansion house being erected for MT. | Stoddard, not only the mems tools
 were, stolen, but their overalls were l also taken, and it was noon time before work could be begun. The next rob- bery is reported to have taken place at the new residence ping built for Samuel York. Here doors were brok- en down. The mems tools were carried off and also set of valuable lamps | Whch MT, terSuson, the conLracloFi had left in the building over night
 The following evening the house be-
 ing built for c. H. Treadway on St
 Roman street received the same treat ment, and here again tools, clothes and
 other movable materials were carried off. The same house was again visited early Saturday morning. when the
 most daring of all the robberies took
 place. Two full keys of nails were
 taken, cement and sacks, workmen's
 clothes and many valuable tools. Sev- eral other houses in course of construc-
 ton in various parts of the city are also known to have been visited by the thieves, and all seem to be the work of
 the same band.

DRESSING TABLE MOTTO.

"Fasten the ends" is the motto
which the tidy girl hangs over her
dressing table, She never suggests a
frayed or mussy ribbon, not mattar
how exquisite it's coloring Even the
men are quick to note trifing care
lessness in grooming, while the un-
tidy girl, is severely criticised by
members of her own sex.
For this reason inventors and shop
keepers are constantly offering first
aids to tidiness, and any little appli-
ance and trimness of a woman's ap-
pearance commands a good sale, says
the Philadelphia Press.
AS the face naturally attracts the
first glance, the arrangement of the
hair and the adjustment of the hat
and veil are points upon which the
tidy girl expends infinite pains. Next
to the Importance of keeping the hair
in good condition ranks that of dress
ing it neatly, and the present fashion
of arranging the hair low requires an
exceptional number of combs. The
best arrangement calls for four combs
of uniform size about two inches
square. Two of these are used to
keep rolls in place, and two in good
order the many stray locks which per-
sist in falling about the forehead and
over the ears.
The comb of the hour among girls
who prefer simplicity in dress is of
light amber. severely plain, but high
ly polished. To match these come
very long hairpins with knob ends
like balls. The fancy comb of cellu-
loid and the cheap jeweled comb are
not considered good form, and only
for dressy occasions does the girl
who possesses such an extravaganza
bring forth her comb of real tortoise
shell or amber, studded with gems
Never would she wear such a comb
with severe tailored gown or shirt
waist suit.

The walking pump, it is seen, is Of
real use for semi-dress wear, but it
should never be allowed to fill the
place of the blucher. These alone
are correct to be worn with simple
everyday wooden walking skirts.
OF the two the blucher is undoubt
eddy the more popular, although it
differs from the Oxford only in hav-
ing an open vamp. The black and
tan are favorites in this style in the
heavyweight class, and come with
two, three or four holes, laced up
with wide silk strings or ribbons. In
the lighter weight Oxfords and
and kidbluchers there are patent
leather and kid in black, white, dark
brown, tan and champagne. In the
evening slipper one finds dozens of
colors besides the standard black and
white, which, with the hosiery, must
match my lady's gown.
None of the seasonable footwear.
with the exception of the daintiest
slippers, has the true French heel
The Cuban heel rules this season, and
thankful indeed are the majority of
women, for few of them can balance
gracefully on the slender curved
sticks which are supposed to make
the foot look pretty and small.
Another aid to beauty, however,
may be seen in the present style Of
footwear, and that is the narrowing
of the toe. The bulldog toe, the
shape which was affected to such an
extent by nearly all women several
years ago, has gone, never to return,
says a shoe dealer, and in it's place
has come the daintier, more feminine.

WASHING SILK.

Directions for washing silk under
wear have been asked for. The same
precautions that are used in wash
ing fine woollens need to be taken
with silk. Prepare a suds of white
soap and fairly hot water, and add
to each gallon of water two table
spoonfulls of ammonia. If the am
monia is strong, use only one table,
spoonful. Let the garments soak in
the suds for some time, half an hour,
or longer. Wash by rubbing with
the hands and gently squeezing.
Never rub on board, and never rub
soap on the silk, unless some spots
are unusually obstinate. Rinse thor
oughly; this means through two or
three waters, the same temperature
as the washing water Iron when
nearly dry. If the garments are very
delicate, press under thin muslin.

A Bad Break.

During the annual convention of q
certain religious body, not so very
long ago, an incident occurred which
was not on the program, and which
completely upset the gravity of the
ministers and brethren assembled.
1t was at the closing session. and the
chairman stated that they were about
one hundred dollars short of an
amount desired to be raised for a Civ
en- purpose. and hoped that the sum
could be made up before final ad-
journment. One of the laymen jump
ed up with the remark:
'I'll start the good work with $25."
II don't know your name, brother"
said the chairman, "but may God
bless you. and may your business be
doubled during the year."
Much to his establishment, a burst
of laughter followed from many in
the hall, which was explained when
a brother up in front stepped to the
platform and whispered:
"Why, that's Mr.. Blank, promi-
nent undertaken of the town. UP

POSTER PICTURES.

For the nursery all sorts Of poster
pictures are being designed. Two of
the best seen lately were picnic par
ty of children, and a delightful study
of doves and matched roofs. The
picnic was a study of cool green's
and yellows, the little ones in their
cotton gowns seated about white
cloth on the grass, and in the back
ground thick shrubbery. On the
cloth were some pale green pears and
some deep-colored oranges. A white
mother duck and her little brood
stand in the sunshsine, watching the
children. The roots are pale red,
green and russell, and the doves fly
ing over are beautifully drawn and
grouped. These poster STUDIES are
as good in their way as the kake-
mones with which the Japanese
adorn their walls They should never
be framed, the black wooden roller
at the top and bottom being all-suffi.
