To Fasten \ Waist.

Here is means of fastening blOuses or slips which hook or button up the back without anyone's assistance: The blouse should be put round the should CTS with the back to the front. the sleeves being left free. It should then be fastened from top to bottom in this way with the exception of the hooks at the neck. which can be easily reached. The blouse should then be turned round and the arms slipped in- to the sleeves without unduly strain ing the fastenings. It must. of course, be understood that only an unlined blouse can be fastened in this manner, and that great care must be exercised in turning round the blouse to avoid any mishap.

enough to absorb moisture. Many towels are so harsh that while they do not scratch the skin they still are not absorbent. wiping should be done by beginning at the tip of the finger and rubbing down to the palm. The back of the hand should be pat ted and gently dried until there is no trace of dampness remaining.
 Some skins dry quicker than others, and if simple friction with a towel does not effect 1t. use a little powder and disseminate by rubbing one over the other. Fine starch will do as we'll as anything. or fine oatmeal powder. Lemon juice and glycerine is a mix. ture which used 10 be used for the face as well as the hands in the six. ties. before people had reduced the art of making the best of themselves to . science. Glycerine and rosewater is not to be despised. but there is no doubt that the addition of lemon juice doubles It's value.

Family Moved Live Fire.

Winsted. Feb 6.-When William G. Ward, local agent for the M. Son. nenberg Piano Co, moved his house. hold effects from Pratt street to Main street few days ago, a stove con taining coal fire was put on the rear end of the load and carried distance or two miles through the streets to It's new home where 1t was set up, the fire still burning. The feat attracted considerable attention especially as several men on the load were warm ing their hands over the stove as they passed through the streets.

 Let not the latest scandal or the affairs of thy neighbors be all that thou talkest of to thy husband They will seem but dull and commonplace after what he has heard at his club.
 Follow not all the vagaries of fash- ion. Study well what suits theo best. and wear 1t! The feathers of the pes cock enhance not the dove.

MANY FRUIT GROWERS.
In Session at Hartford-Big Display
 of Fruits.

! Hartford. Feb 6.-Fruit growers
 from all sections of the state are ir
 session here at the annual meeting
 or the Connecticut Pomological soci ety, which will hold forth for two
 days at Unity hall. In connection
 with the gathering there is a mos,
 creditable exhibition of fruits for
 which liberal premiums are offered
 It was intended to open the session Tuesday, but owing to the stormy weather many were unable to reach
 town and the initial proceedings were postponed until to-day.
 President J. c. Eddy of Simsbury In his annual address this morning contended that Connecticut ought to
 raise Q larger part of the tree fruits and grapes consumed in this state. At present only small part of the apples and grapes are grown on Con- necticut soil," he said, "and this ought not to be. We have the mar
 kets. we have the hills adapted to grow the best fruits, and I believe we have the men who will grow this fruit in the near future in a much larger degree than at present.
 Tt Is a cause for congratulation that our state entomologist, Prof Britton, with the help of the state board of agriculture. was promptly on the ground to head off the gypsy moth on its first entrance into the state. The surprising part of the matter is that 1t was known locally that the pest was present six months before being reported to the proper authority. It is almost certain that 1t will appear in other parts of the state In the near future. If SO it should be reported promptly.
 No class of farm dwellers are more interested in good roads than fruit growers. The growers who market their fruits in the cities of the state of necessity must travel in the night. Then, if ever, a good road is appreciated. not only for safety but for the large loads that can be taken. The auto truck will soon be used in the fruit season where the roads will allow 1t. Let us advocate good roads until there is a network of them all over the state; but at the same time let us ask the legislature to pass stringent laws to regulate the reckless autoists so that they will be made to realize that the roads are for all the people,"
 Regarding the destruction of fruit orchards by deer the president said: "The question of the right of using the farm property as a game preserve for wild deer will have to be settled soon. The fruit men are especially interested. as our hill lands near the haunts of the deer are among the best situations for profitable peach culture; these lands cannot be used if the deer are to be protected and al- lowed to increase as they are now doing"
 The report of Secretary H. c. c. Miles of Milford showed total mem- bership of sS0. gain of 150 during the year. It calls attention to the fact that the San Jose scale is spread ing with alarming increase over the orchards and gardens of the state. Few if any fruit trees or ornamentals seem to be safe from the ravages of this pest. Prompt measures are neces- sary if the trees are to be saved.

Sweet OH for Tender Hands.

vest in pair of rubber gloves, vari. ously sold from 50 cents to $1.50, ac- cording to the quality of the rubber and length of glove. These should be worn when washing dishes, scrubbing and whenever the hands require such protection. For dusting and dry clean. ing pair of chamois gloves will pre- vent the grime from getting into the skin and making it rough. Two dol lars so spent for gloves will repay 8 woman 50 times. both in the appear ance of her hands and the prevention of needless suffering.
 At least one size larger gloves than is usually worn should be selected, so as to give free play to the muscles, and if care is taken to cleanse the rubber gloves after using. with soft, warm water, they will last a long time. while the chamois gloves wash beautifully.
 The face should never be washed when going out within an hour unless . good cream is rubbed into the skin and then lightly powdered. Much an- noyance and discomfort is caused by not thoroughly drying the face and hands after washing them Nothing will cause them to chap and smart more quickly than such treatment, especially when exposed to the winter air.
 To dry thoroughly means wiping each finger separately. and this Is to be done with towel that Is soft
