I can think of one reason that the
young man does not propose, and that
IS because he does not love you. Per
haps he does love you. but is so sure
that you return his love that he does
not think 1t worth while 10 propose.
Try him and see. BE Indifferent 20 him.
and do not allow him 10 call every
night, and pretend that you are inter-
ested In other young men. This ought
TO bring him 10 terms.

PREPARING YALE PLAYS
CONTRACTS ARE AWARDED
Costumes, Scenery and Stage Settings Are All Pro-
 vided for.

The great advantage of the innova- ton of the Yale Dramatic association in presenting three modern language comedies in one night is apparent in the way preparations are progressing for the production of Nov. IS. The plays will all be short and will be given in College Street hall. During the past week contracts have been let for both the scenery and costumes and the stage settings are sure to be ex- cellent.
 The costumes for all three plays have been made by the Eaves Costuming company of New York, which put on "Henry w." "The Amazons" and 'The Pretenders" for the association. The costumes in these productions were most satisfactory and those for this year promise to be equally satisfac- tory. The costumes for the Spanish play are of the time of Philip II; those for "Le Pretexte" the clothes of the modern French gentleman, while. the German players will be dressed as peasants of the period of 1850. The wigs will be furnished by Oscar Ser ner of New York, who has done this work for the men in nine Yale pro- auctions.
 For these plays the association will provide new scenery. The setting for the Spanish play will be a dark in- terior of the time of Philip II, which is now being made by Munro The scenery for the German play is a gar den set borrowed from Franz, who made much of the scenery used in "The Pretenders." The French play consists of two acts, the first being laid in the country, for which the ma- terial has also been obtained from Franz. The second act will take place in a light, attractive room of modern design, which is being constructed by Munro.
 Tn view of the great interest shown by the men engaged in this work, it is hoped that there will be large atten- dance at the production, for 1t is only in this way that the success of this innovation of the Dramatic association can be assured.

men volunteered to go into the woods and cut the timber. Others with teams hauled it to the sawmiIl free of charge, where 1t was sawed without cost.
 The chapel cars performed an im- portant work also in going to towns where churches have been built but are not in prosperous condition or .have been discontinued completely. One of the cars was sidetracked once dn town where there was an aban- doned church.
 The churchyard had been ploughed up and planted in corn and vegeta- bles. A large yellow pumpkin was growing undisturbed immediately in front of the entrance to the church. The chapel car missionary found a few surviving members of the church and started a revival meeting, with the result that the church received new life. The big pumpkin was re- moved from in front of the church door and the building became a place for regular worship.
 Thousands of railroad employees who never have an opportunity of at tending @ regular church have heard sermons in the chapel car. When the car is taken to a railroad division point It Is placed on a side track near the shop doors, so as to be convenient to the workmen. Short services are held at the noon hour and at mid night when the shifts change. T had no difficulty in securing con- gregations of railroad men at the di- vision points, the Rev. MT. Jacobs said. The men were encouraged to enter the car in their working clothes and sit by the windows and smoke while talked. It was not necessary for them to deny themselves their monday smoke in order to attend the services.

women. The third and most practical way in which the members can help the working girls. Mrs. Porter said, is by helping the new woman factory in- spector by introducing her as she comes to each town where there is 8 woman's club to employers and work ing girls outside of working hours, by which means she far better learns to help them. Mrs. Porter then told the story of how she became interested in the welfare of the working girl and how that study led to the woman fac- tory inspector bill.

southington, Nov. 6.-The four per sons who placed the rail across the road in Milldale which came very near causing fatal accident have been arrested and have had hear ling. Deputy Sheriff McCabe had charge of the case and had great diff- culty in getting the men. John Stein berg, whom Officer McCabe arrested first gave the names of his associates as Hiram Andrews, Ernest Matthews and Charles Johnson. They were inn mediately arrested and taken before Judge T. F, Welch this morning.
 MT. Blatchley, the owner of the automobile which was damaged, said that on Monday night. as he ap- preached the Milldale bridge at q high rate of speed, he noticed up in front large railing but did not have sufi- clent time to slacken the speed. He struck the obstacle, bounding up in the air, but the weight of his large touring car prevented 1t from swerv- ing This alone, he said, kept the car from being hurled to the river be- meath. The steering apparatus and a great deal of the machinery was smashed.
 Deputy Sheriff McCabe testified that the rail used was twenty feet long and nearly half foot thick. He also stated that if it had been & light CT car there would have been a ter rible accident,
 The four offenders were then called and they said that two of them, John son and steinberg, were leaning against the bridge railing when it broke and precipitated them beneath, one landing on the edge of the river. They said that 1t was then that they merely threw the rail in the road
 The judge gave them lecture on the seriousness of their offense. He said he would not fine them on what might have happened, but on what really did happen. They were given a fine of $lo each and the costs were di- vided equally among them.
