Some Good Material is at Hand and
 Great Interest is Shown
 Millerton having accepted the invita- tion to join the Housatonic League is losing no time in getting into the game. The Millertou Telegram last week sum- med up the situation as follows: Events have moved swiftly ill baseball circles during the past week. Manager Frank Liner received. notice Saturday night that the committee of the directors of the Housatonic Valley Baseball League had decided to invite the Millerton team to join the league in place of Sharon which withdrew because several of the Sharon players of last year had moved away and there was not available suit able material to replace them.
 "The Millerton team had already au- thorized Manager Liner to accept such a call and to select the two directors to represent local interests in the board, Wm. Bates and Fred Dakin were se- lected and went to Canaan on Saturday to attend the directors meeting. +
 "On Monday Frank Liner went to Winsted and signed Casey for back stop. This means that Casey will have to be- come bona fide resident of Millerton and efforts are now being made to get a suitable position for him here.
 "On Tuesday Manager Liner sent to the league his formal acceptance of a place in the combine, the names of the directors and hst of thirty players available for the local team as follows D. Traver, R. Burns, H. Husted, G. Poole, F. Hughes, o. Rion, H. R1on, 0. Hoysradt, J. Burns. T. Casey, ". Melius, B. MulGgan, A. Pulver, R. Brown, E. Barrett, E. Hotchkiss, F. Shaver, H. Clark, Boucher, R. Burch, G. Andrews, Near, s. LaRue, H. Chapman, M. Jenks, w. O'Hearn, A. Brennan, E. Near, O. Haight and R. Grant.
 "Henry Boucher, who plays backstop on the school team, is showing up re- markedly we'll i'll that position. Some of the boys with steel wire wings have been passing the hot ones to him with out signal and he takes all corners like a veteran. And they do say that when he sends one out to second to catch an imag- mary stealer of bases they arrive at that sack i'll rather high temperature. He is big chap and with practice and coach ing it will be strange if he doesn't make good.
 Will O'Hearn is another promising member of the younger class. He has a very good batting eye and fields like one born i'll the business.
 "Poole has already begun to work the frost out of his whiplash wing and his work so far is very promising. If Casey can be located here the local team will have an aggregation of players which ought to make the leaguers sit up and gaze some.''

loses his patience. Sister Sue Is deter mined to have her say. And the whole family goes up In the air. The entire neal Is spoiled and there you are.
 The meal hour is surely the time when cheerfulness and pleasant subjects should be the watchword of the family. Each member of 1t should try to speak of the :ery pleasantest things that have hap pened to him during the day. Laughter and smiles should be in order. Let every one come to the table smiling and it will fake a mighty disagreeabe topic to turn all of those smiles into scowls and frowns If the table manners of the chill dren are not what they ought to be. do not nag them so perslslently that they are half afraid to eat a mOuthful of food. Correct them quietly and firmly and at tend to punishments and further inStruc- tons at some other time.
 Do not bury your husband in perfect avalanche of questions the moment he sits down to the table and. on the other hand, impress upon him that he must re- serve the unpleasant financial affairs of the household for discussion with you at press upon each member of the family the value of a smiling countenance, cheerful topics, and the obligation rest ing upon him to do all in his power to alake the meal a pleasant enc. It will pay In nany Ways-and the benefit is mutual.

many families, especially at this
 season of the year, when every mem-
 4 Der from the head Of the family down a to the little six-year-old shaver feels
 hot and tired and cross. there seems to be q sort of unwritten law to the effect that all the unpleasantness of the day shall be aired and discussed at the table.
 Things that nave gone awry, unsettled grievances and disagreeable and gloomy subjects seem to be in order only when the whole family Is seated at the table for the evening meal. In such an atmOs- phere the meals are hastily eaten and in- digestion Is the certain result.
 With all the good things of the season on .he table now, 1t does seem a shame 10 spoil an enjoyable dinner by wrlng- ling and quarreling. It kills hunger. breeds ill-will. results fin dyspepsia and breaks up all scmblance of home life. Tco much conversation at the table is per haps bad, but 1t can never equal the harm done by vindicctve arguments or even a stubborn angry silence. Perhaps every member of the family sits down to the table with the ayOwed intention of preserving the peace-at least as far as his responsibility in the matter is con- terned. A trivial thing often leads to general family row.
 Perhaps little Mary, down at. the end of the table, has, in a moment of uegli- gence, conveyed the last bit of preserves on her plate to her mouth with her

Clothes for the Trip.

IF you are contemplating a trip abroad.
 N you cannot have escaped anxiety as
 . to what you shall take and what you shall not take with you in the way of wearing apparel. Tn the first place. un- less you are going to take in every fash ionable resort on the Continent. do not take an extensive wardrobe, but choose your gowns with care. Two stylish gowns. to be worn only when you really have to be dressed up,' will suffice. Let the rest of your wardrobe be a practical, commonsense one.
 On the steamer you can get nionc very nicely with your spring tailored suit or even one that is half worn. But be sure and carry with you a long. warm wrap chiffon wells will do. Several house chased abroad at a very reasonable price Of course, you will need a skirt and coat of linen and several blouse waists Two evening frocks can be so interchanged that they will suffice for the Journey. It Is well to buy your hats and gloves abroad, as you can get them more req sonably, but do not neglect to purchase your shoes before leaving. By all means remember your raincoat and sweater. The rest of your wardrobe may be as ex- pensive CT as inexpensive as you choose to make it, but many little triaes, such as handkerchiefs, ribbons and ruchings can be bought abroad at a more reason able price than they can be carried with you.

Furnishing the Child.

IA O factor is of more importance in E the bringing up of a child than the E ( method of punishment employed. Every child differs in nature at some particular point in character. This pre- cludes the possibility of a set code of regulations for punisbing children, and makes It necessary for each mother to decide the Individual case from what she knowS of the character SOf her own child All should observe. however. one fixed rule, and that is-never punish when reasoning will bring about the same results. Needless correction blunts the sensitiveness Of every child and creates rardness of character that no mother wishes her child 10 possess.
 On general principles 1t Is better to fry reasoning before punishing. If the child commits the sama ofense q second time after being reasoned with. then pun ishment should be resorted to. The pun ishment Of other days-the hard brutal slap and similar things-are gone. There are many ways to make q child under stand be or she has done wrong, and the principal method Is to deprive him Or her, of some anticipated pleasure, such as the attending of circus, a church sociable or at this season of the year. no greater hardship or punishment rould devolve upon a boy than the refusal 70 allow him to join the baseball gang on the adjacent ioL

Did you say those flowers are for Afr. JustwedT' she asked
 'Yas'm." the lad responded, and then, with sn understanding nod In Mrs. J.'s direction, What time Is de funersJ? I hope l ain't late for"
 But Mrs J. had iown-.nto the sLart- ment, up the stairs and Into her own door.
 "hoDmer'' toiled np after Der labori- ously-and the flower bearer trotted along beside her, trying to get an answer to his question as to the exact hour of the obssQuies.
 When they reached the top they be- held-Mrs. Tustwed clasped tight m her husbands arms right in the open doorway to their apartment
 Mor1mer" walked Ia almost unnotfced, and the flower bearer depoited his bur- den and left.
 When the first wild excitement of greetings had quieted down. and they had all adjourned to the living room, Mommer oethought herself to state:
 It strikes me. Homer, you're a mighty well man for a sick man."
 Homer was just about to hem and hav some sort of an answer when Mrs. J. interrupted:
 But he's well now, Mommer dear, und he says he's entirely recovered from his sickness. and"
 Humph,' s1orted Mcmmer, "pSsuminy her most mOther-ln-iawiy expression, might l ask what was the tsouble?''
 Why. hommer," Mrs. J. gurgIed de- lightedly. he was tast sick for ne. he rfa -so how he's all well, you see, because Tri back again and-and-and be Lad these flowers sent ID and this be cant!ful box Of candy and-and he's so glad 10 see Lis nttle-"
 "Humph!' snoTted Mommer again, "humph! I might have gnown yo1'd dc some such utterly absurd thing ss that. Homer. You ought 10 be ashamed Of yourself. Here Blossom has been almost crazy Gll night with worry over yOu-and you've dragged me down Aere to nurse"

 MOmmer was on her feet in an Instant.
 'Oh, you didn't, didn't youl We'll, I'll drag myself away from here just as soon as I can get down those steps. It's my opinion that you'd been drinking again when you sent that telegram Last night.

Baked Eggs for Lunch

AA pected luncheon guests, or when " the larder Is almost depleted, and visitors come for supper on Sunday even ing there are always eggs. A French cook declared recently that there are 114 different ways of cooking eggs. This may be true. but if you are in a hurry to put an appetizing dish on the table, adopt baked eggs. This dish Is always ac- ceptable. Take in pie plate and sprinkle ;he bottom of 1t with bread crumbs. drop each egg as in frying. so that each egg will touch its neishbor. Sprinkle the tops of the eggs with layer of bread crumbs, place small pieces of but ter here and there on the crumbs, salt and pepper to taste and place in an oven. The dish will be cooked in five tlin- ,.tes.

A Cure for Gossip.

~ HAT women, despite their frantic k entrance into the political. field, have - not lost sight of the little things of life Is the opinion of a minister in New York state, who insists that many of them still continue to gossip. The minister is the Rev. Henry McIlravy, of Little Falls. and he comes forward with a means of curing those whose greatest pleasure in life consists in rip-sawing their neighbors. Every Thursday even ing he invites the women of his town to meet together at the parsonage and dis cuss general topics. In this way he wishes to educate the women into seeing how much more entertaining the discussion of such topics Is But it would appear that the women have begun pointing fingers at each other-each declaring that the other one is the particular gos- sip for whom the pastors method Is in- tended. Of course, the pastor, like a wise man, Is not taking sides but he does say:
 ''The only remedy for infamous gossip would be to corral the gossipers. investi- gate the condition of their brains, and distribute them on appropriate corridors fin institutions for the mentally weak"

If 1t were oaly the first of April ne might explain 1t as an April Fool joke. but since 1t was .he fifth of June. the little joke would most likely fall iat.

 It was long into the night before Mir. Justwed's troubled brain found solace in deep sleep. And while he slept strange thing happened. He never had be- lieved in dreams, but he rarely had them. But. this time, he began to doubt the wisdom of his own doubts of these queer, nocturnal visitors.
 In the morning he awoke with clear head-and his knotty problem settled. He bad seen just how it would work out and the plan of campaign had been vouchsAfed him In a dream. Without the slightest hesitation. he walked straight to the telephone and notified friend of his at the bank to report him Fl. Then he called up a florist and ordered a 0ountiful supply of spring flowers sent up immediately by special messenger. A twO-pound box of Mrs. Us favorite candy completed his prepara- tiOns
 Just as he was finishing his lelsurely breakfast the boy with the candy arrived. And Mir. J. had scarcely douned his suit of 1annels and his new spring tie-a cos tune fit for anyone but a sick man--when he beheld. turning into the entrance to the apartment house, his own Beloved Blossom And her "MOmmer."
 Mr. J. stepped back a space and con- cealed himself Tn ;he curtain. Both wo- men were hurrying along as fast as they could walk. Mrs. Us face was anxious. woe-begone. almost taarstained. She was making for her sick Homer-dear with all her might and main. Mommer' was waddling along beside her, pulling and blowing and doing her best to keep up. though 1t was evident that she did not relish her task "MOmmer's'' face. in fact, was calculated to do anything but cheer up a sick person-for ''Mommer" hated to be hustled along.
 At precisely the same moment the two women turned into the apartment house entrance the boy from the florist arrived, bearing the huge box of flowers.
 Say, lady" he asked, seeing that Mrs. J. and "Mommer' were entering, "kin you'se tell me what's de number on de fiat of guy named JustwedT'
 Mrs. Justwed stopped short. tottered a moment ard all but fell. She stined q scream with her Handkerchief and n"a:- ly chOked with her emotion.
 Calm yourself. my dear calm your self" consOled ''MOmmer.'' at the same time turning to the puzzled messenger.

 wed's return from her visit to ''Mommer'' by wiring that he was Ill, the resultant troubles would never have been chronicled. But he did. And "Mommer' descended upon the Justwed household in all her glory to nurse the sick man-and left In high dudgeon and supertiuity of smiting remarks.
 When the diminutive messenger placed the yellow message In Mir. Us out stretched palm and when he fully grasped the fact that Mrs. J. was coming straight home instanter-with "Mommer''-to nurse him, that lonely gentleman's feigned Illness nearly became real one. He staggered into the hving-roop and sank weakly down Into the armchair. rubbing his throbbing brow as one who has suddenly met and wrestled with an overwhelming disaster and been worsted in the encounter What a mess he had made of it. Why didn't something hap pen to him before he put that phool-idea into execution! He had put his foot in it, alright, alright, and he couldn't get it out. Why, oh. why, did he ever send that wire that he was i'll?
 Well, the milk was spilled-and he couldn't even wipe it up. He wpnldn't cry over it, anyway. But what should be done? He might wire Blossom immed- lately and tell her that he had com pletely recovered. Rut, no. she would surely think he had gone crazy and only thought he well That wouldn't stop ''Mommer" coming, either. There seemed to be no hope for salvation in that direction. 'Mommer' had made up her mind to come, and come she would Should he really become ill perhaps there was some medicine he could take that would make him i'll, desperately Ill.,
