RosroN,s pouaLE FESTIVAL.

Boston is the only city in America,
10 far as The Bulletin has learned,
that has on March 18th a double fes-
tival--the bigger part Of Boston never
fails 70 honor St Patrick's day, and
all Of Boston periodically observes
Evacuation day. which marks the an
niversary Of the withdrawal Of George
the Thirds army from the hub Of the
universe" on the same date A Bos-
ton paper is frank enough to say, how
ever, that 'the celebration of the day
IL ordinarily dependent for its success
on the activity Of those who once pa
raded in honor Of st. Patrick and their
descendants. The rest Of the commu-
nifty seems but little interested, not
because 1t is less patriotic, but be-
cause its patriotism is not mixed with
feelings Of racial bitterness against
the defeated.
There is, however, II must be ad-
nitted. a measure Of historical justifi-
cation for one element Of our popula-
tion taking up the celebration the 9TH
or elements have laid down. Wash
ington did give st. Patrick as the
countarsign for the day on which his
army entered the town It had so long
besieged. and while he may have b4en
inspired in part by political strategy,
probably he sympathized with the agi-
tation. then in progress in Ireland for
freedom in trade and legislative indie
pendence.
There were natives of Ireland. both
Catholics and Professionals, in Wash
ington's army; there were natives Of
ireland in the ranks. nearly all Catho-
lies, in Howe's army. One OF the Brit
ish regiments most conspicuous at
Bunker Hill was Irish It lost heavily
on that bloody field. and 1t was whis-
pered at the time that It was put to

been suspected OF sympathy with the

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy Of

why it is the best Of personal and family

sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase

THE DEATH OF A MERcIFUL MAN

The death Of George 7. Angel at
Boston, the worlds champion for the
advancement Of kindness, is a loss to
America and to all civilized nations.
What other man ever accomplished so
much for lasting good IN Sc years Of
life is not today apparent. He has
preached the gospel of mercy to all
the nations Of the earth. A brutal
thirty-rnile horse-race inspired him to
become the active friend Of all Of Gods
dumb creatures; and he formed the
first society for the prevention Of
cruelty to animals in the world, wrote
the first law, started the first paper
In their interest. and through his work
and influence more free tracts and
books have been distributed to all ma
tons than were ever given to the
world by any other one man Of mod
ern times. Through his efforts $4,000
bands Of mercy, which train children
IN the ways Of gentleness and consid-
GRAFTON for dumb creatures of every
kind has been formed, and the mem
bers Of them number millions. He has
accomplished a great, good and last
ing work and has made secure the
york along his humane lines for all
time. George T. Angel had angelic at
tributes and with the assurance that
the mercilful shah obtain mercy he
passed peacefully to his reward.

ThE NORMAL WAIST LINE.

The New York World has the audac-
ity to ask what the normal waist line
Of woman is since fashion has decreed
that for 1909 the abnormal waist line
shall be six inches above the knees.
Who knows anything about a normal
waist line for woman? Anatomically,
the normal waist of a man is located
at that point on his back. where. by
firm pressure Of the thumb. he may
be made to bulge out before. Fashion
moves the masculine waist line up and
down a few inches, but 1t has to be
kept In alignment with the vest for
the coat and little higher for the
trousers. There is no getting the male
waist line down to a point where
man will look like a bundle OF hoop
poles when he is attired. The Bulle-
tin has no evidence that woman has
normal waist line in these days. There
is no doubt that Eve had. pictures in
dictate that Esther and other Bible
women had, but today waist lines are
obliterated-the feminine waist line is
anywhere that fashion draws the chalk
line

CIRCULATION
SPRING BY THE ALMANAC.

Next Sunday spring opens in regu-
lar astronomical form and the wind on
that day win be the prevailing wind
for the next six months. March 21st
is the point where astronomy and ira
dition go hand In hand. Uncle Horace
johnson win probably have his spec
tacies on and mark the gyrations Of
the weather vanes on that day, as viii
all who from observation have reason
to believe that the 21st of March and
the 21st of September are weather fix
ers.
From the way the southern Connec-
ticut robins are singing up the sun
every morning. there is no question
but tina signs Of an early spring are
pregnant with promise. The bluebirds
are inspecting their last years brood
ing places and the song sparrows'
music gives assurance that Flora and
all her hosts are on the way. The
farmers are pruning and everything
tends to show the faith OF men in the
speedy revival OF nature.
OF course atmospherical fiarebacks
are to be expected. but no real halt
can now be called upon the advance
Of spring.

Goina ! Awsy Shower.

just now the going-away shower is
perhaps the favorite of all bridal en-
tertainments. The linen shower has
long been a popular function, although
be 1t said. there are many brides who
prefer to select their own linen, so the
pieces match. At shower naturally
odd articles and unmatched designs
are received.
FOR the going away shower appro-
pirate gifts are utility cases, contain
ing sewing outfit, collapsible drinking
cups. sponge bags, vanity cases, rub
ber-lined toilet cases, easily folding
manicure outfits, hand mirrors, tooth
brush holders, dress and coat hangers
a combing Jacket, a pair of bedroom
slippers, a short kimono, half a dozen
wash cloths, a little ivorine case for
soap and a night-dre case.
Each girl might furnish one article
and 1t would not make the slightest
difference whether any two matched.

It's srRARIsMlc GAZE.

THE name of George. Lllley as
candidate for senator says a state
contemporary, is as a red rag to a bull
TO the Springfield Republican. Nobody
will think of Mr.. Lilley. that's obyi-
ous,' It says. Well, perhaps it is obvi-
Gus In Springfield. It isn't as obvious
in Connecticut as some Of Us wish it
were.''
When the Springfield Republican
gets led into Connecticut politics it
always has a distorted view of things.
The friends OF Governor Lilley expect
him TO make good in the governorship,
and having done so, when 1t comes
time for him to go higher, there is not
likely to be a more acceptable candi-
date in the field. Connecticut stands
by Lilley as the whole country may do
by and by. He is being indicated
by continuous revelations Of rottenness
and graft in the department he as
sailed.

been white she would have been well
dressed.
A very thin girl was seen wearing a
belt at least four inches deep with a
long buckle at front and back. Very
thin persons should wear narrow belts.
Then a girl with a 2S-inch waist
wore a black elastic belt with a scroll
design in steel beads. This made her
look twice her size.
