Frank A. Warheld of Stafford Springs is an applicant for appoint ment as one of the deputy commis- sioners of the pension ofice, and his chances for the place are said to be very good.

RADIANT HAIR
New York Society Women's Hail
 Matched Only by Parisians

For many years the clever women of Paris have been famed for the magni- ficent beauty of their hair.
 Glorious hair" a Virginian calls it; 'so radiant and luxuriant that it not only attracts but fascinates, and con- pels unstinted admiration"
 But now that the elite of New York, ever anxious to improve their beauty, have learned that Parisian Sage. a re- maflSable and almost marvellous hair nourisher and beautifier, is almost entirely responsible for the charming hair of the ladies of France the de- mand for it has become enormous.
 A Philadelphia chemist who analysed Parisian Sage said; Tt is the ideal dressing for the hair. The ingredients are so scientifically combined that Parisian Sage is first of all a hair grower, because 1t surely destroys dandruff germs, and nourishes the hair roots."
 Second. it puts life. substance and brilliancy into the hair, which i'm proves the attractiveness of any one.''
 Third, 1t is very delicately scented {; IS not particle sticky or greasy, and does not contain one atom of anything that could possibly injure scalp or

Washington, Dec. 10.-Congressman Higgins in an interview on President Taft's message spoke as follows: President Taft's message is no dis appointment to his friends. It shows the marked characteristics of the man. Wise, searching, conservative and broad gauged, it not only merits the closest analysis and consideration by congress, which it will command, but answers fully the requirements of the executive under the constitution to give congress from time to time in- formation of the state of the union and recommend such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient. Doubt less much legislation during this ses- sion will be introduced and debated. Some of it ought to pass and will. The country is not ready for all of it, but had rather see 8 more rigid enforce ment of existing laws.
 The reform of our currency laws is one of the most important matters be problem of keeping our expenditures within our income will of itself keep congress busy.
 The establishment of postal savings banks needs careful consideration. If all the country had as well managed savings banks under such restrictions as Connecticut, the need of a postal SaVlngS Dank would not be as great as 1t appears now to be in some sec tions. No state in the country has better savings banks than Connecti- cut.
 The neglect of our merchant marine is hardly short of national disgrace. Its rehabilitation will, I hope, receive the serious attention of congress. A large producing and exporting nation should carry its products in its own ships. Let our merchant marine be built up at the same time we are deep ening our rivers and harbors. While we cannot legislate honesty into men, something ought to be done to prevent a recurrence at some later time of the contemptible and abhorrent conditions disclosed in the New York customs house, particularly with reference to the sugar frauds. With no desire to form nasty conclusion, they never theless seem to me to exceed in the

 New London Port of Entry.
 Representative Higgins has intro- duced in the house a bill making New London a port of entry which was re- ferred to the committee on ways and means.
 In speaking of this bill MT. Higgins said:
 "The bill which I have introduced proposes to extend to the port of New London the privilege of immediate transportation of merchandise import ed from abroad. Under the law mer- chandise destined for immediate transportation shall be transferred, un- der proper supervision, directly. from the importing vessel to the car, vessel or vehicle in which the same is trans ported to it's final destination. This right was granted to number of ports in the act of June 10, 1880.
 T have always believed that a greater use could and should be made of the splendid shipping facilities both by water and rail at New London. The congestion at New York and the high rates prevailing there for warehouses ought to operate to the advantage of New London. This bill must receive the favorable recommendation of the ways and means committee who will undoubtedly refer it to the treasury department, who may raise some ad- ministfative objections, or decide that the commerce of the port of New Lon- don does not warrant the amendment proposed. Under any event, shall work for its enactment"

 Mrs. George D. Colt gave an enter taining account of her most enjoyable experience during her trip abroad last summer This was the exciting jour hey of twenty-two miles up the noun tains from. the Rhone to Zermatt and the still more fearful climb six miles further to Corner Grab at an elevation of 11,000 feet. Zermatt is the highest village in all Europe-6,000 feet-and is quaint old village of 1900 inhab- itants in a pretty green valley full of interest in itself and surrounded by towering mountains peaks, among them the famous Matterhorn. From higher up at Corner Grab was unrolled a wonderful panorama of mountains, with fifty glaciers in sight Here the party indulged in snowfall contest, it being the first day of August. She also told of visit up an ever sleeper railroad to Meuren, where one gets a view of the Jungfrau group of the Alps.
 Mrs. Edward D. Fuller read an ex- tremely interesting paper describing the events and places visited each Sun day during her summers journey. The first two were spent at sea. The third was full of interest in exploring the ancient town of Seville, with its inn mense cathedral and wonderful Giral- da. There was much to see in the ca- thedral including paintings by Murillo and the tomb of Columbus. At Madrid they went with Miss Elizabeth Hunt ington to the church of the English embassy. Four Sundays were spent in Paris, attending the American church, the Greek church, the McAll mission and the church of St. Clotilde, besides drives to Versailles and other things which are always crowded into any day in Paris. An interesting day was spent in Amsterdam at the unveiling of tablet to the Pilgrim Fathers who sought refuge there in 1909. This was in the English reformed church, an in- teresting old edifice. Besides other Sundays in Holland, Belgium and Swift zerland, one was spent at Westminster abbey, one at a beautiful old church on the mountainside overlooking the sea in North Wales, another at St. Giles cathedral in Edinburgh and last but not least one in Norwich. England
 Tea was served at the close of the programme by the social committee, Mrs. Ansel A. Beckwith, chairman, Mrs. Junius Brand, Mrs. Charles Burn ham and Miss Fannie l.. Bliss. The tea table was very pretty with it's Christmas coloring of red and green. Miss Young and Miss Cogswell poured.
