KENDALL NEXT UNDER FIRE.
Will Not Ds Reappointed - Rumors
 As to Noble.

0D " 4NVUASs
 New Haven, Feb 20--According to current rumor, Governor Woodruff. having disposed of scandal connected with the once of tax commissioner, will next take up the question of possible negligence of duty on the part of the bank commissioners. He not only has tho recent occurrence in New Britain in mind in which Bank Commissioner Kendall figured, but he has knowledge of the failure on the part of both commissioners to report the condition of the Say brook bank of Essex, which was re- ported some weeks ago in the papers and which the bank commissioners are, by law, compelled to report, the statutes giving them no jurisdiction in the matter of such irregularities, but saying that "the commissioners shall also report to the governor and to the states attorney in the county where any such institution is located. any violation Of law by 1t or any of it's oficers.''
 It was this Essex bank matter which the governor probably had in mind when, in replying to the com munication of. Mayor Landers of New Britain, he said that he had learned of other matters of similar na- ture." The story has prevailed wide- ly that the bank commissioners have known for a number of years of the violation by the Saybrook bank of the law limiting the amount which a state bank may loan to one person, and yet no report was made, although the law explicitly states that every state bank or trust company which shall violate any provision of this
 section (the one relating to loan limit shall forfeit $3.000 to the
 state for each offense."
 MT Kendall's term will expire next July and Governor Woodruff will not reappoint him. He has not yet de- cided what his course will be regard ing the other commissioner, Charles
 H. Noble of New Milford, who has | two more years to serve. The gov ernor has no power of removal. but
 is considering the matter and 1t is not unlikely that he may discover
 some way to proceed.

ADVICE FOR LITTLE woMENs
One of the slstsrhood Willing to Leave
 Nature Alone.

We little women appreciate the sops of comfort thrown to us" said one of them, although we know that we are hopeless. and that nothing in the world can make us taller than an unkind nature intended us to be. But you would laugh to hear the funny things recommended to me for the acquiring of . couple of inches of height.
 T am instructed to keep slender. to hold up my head, to dress my pom. padour higher. to wear long neck dressings. to abandon short skirt. to keep to French heels, to affect trail ing gowns, to wear high-trimmed hats. to adopt Grecian draperies, to habitually wear white. to keep up a hopeful spirit lon the principle that a heart bowed down by weight of woe also pulls the shoulders down., and to do various stunts of running jumping. skipping. stretching and reaching.
 "All these things do religiously. and then dress and 60 out with the .consciousness that I am not one frac; Ition of an inch taller than I was be fore. and nobody is deceived into thinking 50. either. My particular chum still talks miles above my head.
 "Saleswomen' say: Ny, what lit. tie thing you are!' I still have to jump up In the air to see what peo- pie are looking at. I guess have tried about all of the three thousand or SO helpful suggestions to short women.' but I am still undisguisedly little. aud little shall be to my dyins day"

Floor Covering.

The choice of floor coverings should be made with care.
 Hardwood floors with handsome rugs are the property of the favored few and even in their homes are sell dom found above the first floor.
 Stained floors with inexpensive rugs are much preferred to carpets when the rooms are small. such furnishings giving . refinement and daintiness seven to the humblest home.
 There are many pretty rugs that are within reach of the modest purse. Moquette rugs are soft ia tone and with care will last for years. and 1t is often possible to secure other high grade rugs st little cost

A little. perfume sometimes goes long way. If perfume is used at all it should be of the best and used spar ingIy. The first thought should be of cleanliness and desire for fresh lin ems.

The auditor OF the state has al
