suaaEsrIvE CRUDE ART.

The cnarse but effectively modelled group which decorates Chelsea parade labelled: The Founders, 1659," has called forth some adverse criticism because it has not dawned upon a part of our citizens that the concept is beautiful whatever the material may be, and that such a memorial of the founders as this wrought in enduring bronze by our own artist, Bela Pratt, would be a permanent evidence of our consciousness of the great service of the Founders to us and all the genera tions before us, and an evidence of the taste for art which has been ere ated in us and that we are awakening to the ministry of beauty in the affairs of men.
 Some of our citizens used to talk of the day of mural decorations for Nor wich a quarter of century ago, and were held in derision and were told occasionally by more sordid citizens that such talk was all bosh." The Bulletin is pleased to think that the spirit Is not dead which foreshadows a day when our citizens will realize the true significance of such a celebra- tion as we are having. and the value of leaving to the celebrators of the next half-century some enduring thing that we did which may be token to them of our gratitude, our taste and our good sense.
 An exposition leaves to a city as memehto of it's importance a great building. Why should not a genera ton celebrating such an event as this leave a little something for the com- ing men and women besides a munich pal debt?
 The Bulletin comments the judg- ment and good taste of the commit tee and hopes that the broad sugges- ton contained in this temporary group will result in making permanent what is now perishable art.

THE THIN SUMMER WRAPS.

Thin. light, sometimes even trans parent dinner wraps are the surprise of the summer, and this not only be- cause Of their length and fulness, but also because of the colors and mate- rials used in them, which are SO un- usual There is, for instance, a wrap of bronze colored ninon de soie Ga silk muslin) which is trimmed with ruches of taffeta of the same color. It is lined with the thinnest and pal est bronze chiffon (almose cream). Another wrap of the same material and color was given wide borders of jet spangles. Again, there are long wraps of heavily embroidered white batiste sometimes worked with white, but as often with pastel or faded shades of floss.
 There is pronounced vogue for un- lined muslin cloth or wraps; loose garments in the pastel shades trim
 med with black satin borders. These have a single black cabochon ss a fastening or single cord and pet tassel.
 What all Paris is talking about is the new cloth called cote de cherai-- cloth which resembles the glossy, we'll brushed horses coat, and which moulds the form, they say, a little more perfectly than any of the pre- vious weaves of late years. Bronze, old gold and powder blue are the three new favorite colors.-Marie Oliver, in Harper's Bazar.

 The committee have 70 arranged the fireworks that they will be seen from hundreds of homes and scores of places in different parts of the town It should also be remembered that those whose deeds are evil, and who will be seeking deserted houses, do not like light any better than they do bulldogs. and that to keep the homes of Norwich ablaze with light tonight is to beautify the city, and also to defeat the purpose of those whose intent is vicious.
 The events of these two days are likely to be as memorable as anything which win occur within the lives of the present generation, as they will form one of the brightest festivals in the history of this good old town.
