HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Ann and Scope of Organization in
 This Country.

IiiiS &ouEtTV.
 Now that the City Beautiful idea has taken root in New Haven, it may not be amiss to mention society which exists in this city having for it's aim the establishment of the individu- al home and surroundings and horti- culture in general This is the New Haven County Horticultural society, one of the oldest of it's kind in the United States The special object of the society as set forth in their by Jaws shall be to promote the better cultl- vation of flowers and plants" but in it's actual workings every feature of horticulture is brought Into bearing. Ornamental and Fruit trees. shrubs, hardy plants, tender beddings plants, bulbs, seeds, in fact every subject per talnlng to the cultivation of plants is discussed with the experiences of the professional gardener and enthusiastic amateur in friendly and mutually pleasant way, based on their common love of nature. Many of the most prominent people of the city are very liberal in the support of the society, among whom may be mentioned, Prof. H. w. Farnan, Mrs. w w. Farnam, Mrs. c. R. Bennett, Mrs Elfori Trow- bridge, Pierce N Welch, Eli Whitney. Judge McC, Matthewson, Judge Bald win, Professor Schwab and many oth- CTS The assistance of the Connecti- cut Agricultural Experiment Station. one of the most efficient in the country, is very freely given. also that of the Yale School of Forestry.
 With a grand natural beauty and splendid park system, New Haveners have much to be proud of. but a good deal of the City Beautifuf idea how ever, rests with the individual citizen in so far as regards his own home and neighborhood and much remains to be done in this direction, making in the sum total a beautiful community there by a pleasanter city to live in. To fur ther that object the society will this year arrange for a list of prizes 10 be given to the best kept and best looking gardens. window flower boxes, lawn vases, etc.
 No professional gardener, or those employing paid labor in their gardens can compete for these prizes, and the man or woman with limited garden space will stand on the same footing as those with large garden The society invites the cooperation and support of all lovers of plant life at their meet. ings on the first and third Tuesday os each month, and the secretary, Walter Koella, 5SS Bishop street, will be pleas cd to give any information regarding ii

those who had already moved would dare go back to the country because they could not guess when a similar shake-up in the train schedule may upset them again. Next time it may be that the home going train will be cut off and they may have to lose on the end of the days work to take it. This would be almost as fatal as the loss of the morning hour. Of course the loss of S1,500 is small compared to the roads total revenue, but such losses in many instances do materially affect the roads income year after year.
 But to return to the question of giy- ing service that the public does not pay for directly. No merchant on Chapel street delivers orders which have amounted to less than twenty five cents except at loss. Yet we all expect, occasionally, to have purchas- es costing as little as ten cents de- livered for us. In the latter case the merchant is practically giving us the goods and carting them to our hous- es, for the sake of maintaining our good will. Can MT. Mellen point to any act of the public service corpora tion under his charge which has serv- ed the public at anything like cor responding cost for the sake of ob- taining its good will?
 Has this corporation not rather as- sumed that its service to the public consists entirely in the fact that it eX ists, and that it's only other obligation is to earn its dividends. Lowering of the rates of freight is chiefly a means of increasing traffic and is not the only way to earn the good will of custom CTS as any merchant can tell. One must study and humour their whims as we'll, however unreasonable such a course may seem.
 Instead of having your conductors report with greater detail the dollars and cents your passengers pay on each train. Mir. Mellen, have them in quire of every passenger on every train what change in the train schedule of that train would have in- creased its convenience for them on that trip, and tabulate those statistics for each season of the year. You would have a mass of information in a short time which should enable you to double your passenger receipts At present your train schedule is a com promise between the guess of your d- vision superintendent and the kicks of the dissatisfied. If you tabulate the satisfied with the dissatisfied and cut out the guess work you would accom- modate the majority all the time, which is what you seldom accomplish under the present system.

About skirts, Vogue has Ii that there is less flare at the bottom of short skirts, and that too bids fair to be
 kept up; the change from cloth to trans
 parent fabrics or summer silks will produce by styles of trimmings a seem ing return to the flare. It will be upon tailor-made linens, crashes and such thick materials that the change will be most marked later. This Is seen, such new tailor costumes return from well known houses to customers who are going south. As for the skirt length. they will hang evenly all around. and the ground be well cleared.
