1t must also be remembered that the
man who eats immense meals lacks
the excuse or these heavier feeders in
the Wild life. The mole, the vulture,
the python and the shark have excel
lent reason for eating all they can
when n rare chance offers. They may
have gone long without a meal, and
there is no instinct 10 tell them when
they Will get another, whereas n man
knows quite we'll at luncheon that
within six or seven hours he will be

The mole, like the little shield tailed
snakes OF Ceylon, which hunt the same
food. has TO work like a slave, digging
and tunneling and undermining acres
OF surface soil In it's pursuit OF the
worms. and all this labor must breed
hearty appetite.
The vulture and the python are so
sluggish in their movements that the
latter more particularly, lacking the
bird taste Tor carrion, must often be
compelled to so hungry for weeks to-
gether.
Again, while greediness is a term OF
reproach among ourselves. 1t is impos-
sible TO glance down the preceding ia
BILE with the same feeling Of distaste,
for we know that some OF the greedi-
est among these are natures appoint
ell agents for the resolution OF matter,
which otherwise would faint the at
mosphere and poison mankind, into its
harmless elements.
There are other considerations which
distinguish the greed OF the lower an,
imals from the greed OF man. In the
case OF the great python. for instance,

less, the teeth are so stunted in the
jaw that the reptile is bound to eat all

MAYOR SAYSHlII|
Has Arranged For . Public le1 ing 10 Discuss Appropriallsu1
 Adopted By Aldermen.

The question of appropriations II not settled yet, although it has H. ways been understood that whom tho aldermen got through with them that was the end. The charter states that the board must make the appropria- tions and levy the tax before Decem~ Der 20. That was the reason why the board didn't adjourn for longer date Monday night. But notwith-E standing all this Mayor Thoms am nounced to-day that he will hold . public hearing in the aldermanio chamber at II o'clock Saturday fore-l noon for all who want to be heard on the appropriations. When asked if he intended to veto the tax levy his honor refused to say one thing or the other, but remarked with 8 knowing wink that he believed the action of the board of aldermen re- quired the approval of the mayor. adding that that was his own per- sonal opinion and directing the rec porter to the city attorney in case ho wanted further light on the matter. If nobody calls to make a protest against what has been done probably the mayor will approve of the budget and tax levy, and then, for all one can tell, he may not. In case he should do the latter many will won- der what the next move will be-. Would the aldermen adhere to their former vote or would they split up' and probably decide to let the thing drop altogether and get along with out any appropriations for one year and see how everybody would likes 1t? In any case the mayors course is an innovation and everybody will be curious to know what the outcome of it will be.

All garments are planned with this object in view, the second end aimed at being to place the waist as high as possible, style which the very tall will do well to eschew. At present the woman of moderate inches is having her innings, and very good innings they are too. neverthe- less, her more generously proportioned sister may take heart of grace, as 1t is quite feasible that their day may not be as far of as it seems. Proba- bly, in the near future we shall leave on banting, and instead take to fat tening up and letting out our now tightly-laced corsets.
 With regard to the re-modelling of an indoor frock for afternoon wear a yoke. and tightly fitting cuffs to the elbow of guipure lined with chiffon blanc, has marvellously rejuvinating effect. The same applies to belt of silk, satin or velvet in the same shade as the costume. relieved with tiny bows and diminutive steel buckles up both back and front. Should the front of the skirt have become shabby, a panel matching the belt, or else one of similar lace to that used for the yoke, may be introduced with advan- tage, while an effective note of color is struck by a bunch of violets. carna- tions or roses pinned into the corsage.
 The picturesque dominates both gowns shown in the illustration. The silk skirt with brocaded coat has facings of velvet, and a vest of lace and chiffon on the under bodice. while the skirt is decorated with crossed rows of thick guipure. The other costume shows a combination Of ecru lace. resida green voile and mulberry colored velvet, and the bodice is of A shape which would be eminently suited to those who are flat across the chest.

HERE FOR AN OUTING.
Boys and Girls from Norfolk Visls the Jacques Theater.


 A number of small boys and girls of the town of Norfolk. about 300 all told were given their annual excur- sion to-day by Miss Mary Eldridgr, of that place, and Waterbury was their destination. They reached here on d special train about noon and were taken direct to The Elton and had luncheon there. Their arrival causdd the greatest commotion about the hotel, a large crowd gathered and everybody wanted to know who the kids were and what they were doing here. They had come on their annual trip to see Santa Claus. and after luncheon they were taken to the Jac- ques where part of the orchestra had been set off for their accommodate tion. They were delighted at the per- formances of the black man and black woman, the first number on the program and they enjoyed themselves heartily.
 After the show they were given . trolley ride and shown the sights of the town. Every year the children of Norfolk are given treat of this character. Last year they went to Hartford. and they have been to New York and Springfield

This seasons fashions demand three essentials of the woman who would be strictly in style. namely, a practically unlimited exchequer, a slender figure and certain distinc- tive personality. without which the two former. powerful factors though they sound, are powerless to achieve elegance. Nor is 1t at all sufficient that a woman's proportions be slim, her income bulky, and her individual ity marked, the present vogue goes so far as to exact that her clothes shall appear to bear the same relationship to her as the petals to flower. She must net primarily attract attention on account of her dress, the success full toilet charming Dy virtue of its in innate association with its wearer whom satisfied imagination fails to picture in any other style of gown.
 There is no disputing that. to the unfortunate woman blessed with the necessary qualifications. the prevail ing modes are pre-cminently becom- ing. The short-waisted effects are de- lightfully old-world and piquant, while the long clinging skirts make for grace, which recalls the fact that no luxurious and prodigal costumer worthy the name would consent to take an order for short skirt. The softest of liberty satins do duty as lining. and the skirts designed to ac- company the long high.waisted coats worn by the leaders of fashion. bear little corselet attachments and deep belts.
 An attempted innovation. and one that has not so far met with an en- thusiastic reception is to have bodice and sleeves of different textures. For example a dress worn on her "at home" day by well-known hostess. boasted skirt of cream-colored point d esprit trimmed down in front and about the foot with narrow ruching of Rose du Barry velvet ribbon. The swathed corsage of Rose du Barry vel vet tapered to point in front. and fitted high up to the throat by means of deep collar band. the puffed el-

Surely never since the days of wigs were such wonderful cultures seen as those adorning the head of the fashionable woman this season. Only to look at them gives one the ache Of the hairdresser's chair. Two hours it takes sometimes-two whole. nor tai hours to have the hair built into the undulating temples and tea houses and bird cages. which now or nament the head of woman. Then. if the coirure happens to be a busy gentleman. 1t is necessary often to be coifed for the opera at eight o'clock in the morning.
 Curls are much to the fore. and a flat sort, as unyieldIns to look at as country sausages. are called empire or -chichi curls.- These are tucked in every ercvice. entirely shaping broad chIEnous al the back some sometImes. or lying beside classic bands or other puHs at the top of the head
