to place. After adjusting the coro-
net the hair at each side is brought
back over the coronet. The ends are
rolled under to form an additional
support for the hair, and it is fast
ened to place by means of rather long
side combs aided by hair pins.
If the hair is very heavy, it is not
necessary to roll the ends under, as a
support at the Sides A pretty effect
Is produced by crossing these ends at
the back above the coil and finally
fastening them under the coil. This
coiffure has no advantage over those
that are curled and waved, but obvi-
ously it saves time and If becoming
provides acceptable variety from more
elaborate modes. It rests the hair
also, when too much curling or wa
wing shows signs of spelling the nat

stand with his paws out, awaiting the
attack. 1t must be said for the bear
that he was willing to Wrestle, but
he looked as if he would like to know
what he was to wrestle with. Sudden
ly Uncle Ashdod began scratching
himself on the leg, and we knew that
Cleopatra was indeed maneuvering
for an opening. In a minute the Ital-
ian gentleman also scratched himself
and We were doubly sure that Cleo.
patra was on her way.
An instant later the battle became
fast and furious. Cleopatra closed
with the bear and secured strangle
hold on his ear. She bit him three
times, and as he turned to grasp her,
she jumped to his nose, bit twice, and
slid quickly to the ground. The bear
stood on his head, wiped his face
with his left paw, and whirled about
Just as Cleopatra attacked him in the
right flank. The bear whirled again,
struck himself wildly in the right
flank with his left paw, just as Cleo
patra took a bite or two out of his
right hind foot The bear danced, and
Cleopatra saw her chance and jumped
to the middle of his back, bit three
times and moved up between his
shoulders.
1t was an exciting moment, with
the Italian gentleman shouting en-.
couragements to the bear, and Cousin
Orone urging Cleopatra on. The bear
stood up and tremulous waves wiggled
up and down his back, while Cleo
patra hung on and bit eagerly. Cleo
patra bit again, and tears stood in the
bears eyes, but he was still game.
Cleopatra bit once more and the bear
tried to reach her with both fore,
paws, and failed. Cleopatra bit again.
and the bear tried to crawl under the
hotel porch, but was headed of by
the Italian gentleman. Cleopatra bit
four times in quick succession and
grasped the bear with all her legs,
shaking him to and fro, and with a
growl the bear threw himself on his
back. and wiggled. Cleopatra had
won!
The entire audience crowded up to
congratulate OrOne, and he received
their kind words with becoming meek
ness. He said the credit all belonged
to Cleopatra, and he called to her to
come forward and receive her reward
of praise, but she remained modestly
in the background CONSERVATION
reigned, for it was feared that Cleo
patra might have been lost, but half
an hour later Cousin Orone backed up
against one of the hotel pillars and
began rubbing his back against it
vigorously. He then said, for publica-
tion, that he was able to announce
that Cleopatra was not lost.

NEW MILFoRD's BARGAIN DAY.

NEW MlLFORDA BARGAlN DAY.
 The next two weeks issue of The
 Bee will carry to It's readers the
 most interesting store news" ever
 published in its columns. This
 means lot, for there are New Mil-
 ford merchants whose store news Is
 always interesting. A Washington
 reader lately paid the editor a left
 handed compliment by saying that
 half the subscribers took his paper
 "just for it's bargain advertise
 ments." He conceded that a few
 might take 1t for its local news, but
 didn't even hint that an occasional
 patron might like it for it's editor-
 ials, the writing of which sometimes
 causes brain flag, The next two
 weeks, he fears, the editor will be
 thrown into total eclipse. The pa-
 per is to contain so many bargain announcements that probably not
 mere half but all it's readers will
 want it on that account alone. The
 trouble is just this. The mer- chants got their heads together late- ly and decided to have a town bar gain day. They are just finishing inyentorying and each knows just what lines must he displaced to make room for fall goods. The merchant agreed, however, that bargains would not be confined to these lines but that for the purpose of making the day the most attractive trading occasion ever offered by New Mill ford, they would run their price cut ting knife into other special articles. Their object is to not only provide a red-letter day for their regular customers but to attract others from distances far beyond the usual trade limits and let strangers know the up-to-date kind of stores New Milford has and the up-to-date meth ods of its merchants. Although still a village" New Milford has mer- cantile establishments that, for size and extent and variety of stocks, compare favorably with those of good sized cities. The merchants want this fact to become more wide ly known than it is; hence this all- together bargain offering day.
 Saturday, August, IA, has been fixed on as the day. It will be not merely a day when one can get a bargain from some individual dry goods, shoes, clothing or other indi- vidual dealer, but one on which he may get bargain, no matter what store he drops into. He can get one kind of bargain in one clothing store another in another clothing store, one kind in one stationary store, an- other kil\1 in another stationary store, one kind in ore dry goods store another in another dry goods store, one kind in one grocery store, an- other in another grocery store, one kind in one jewelry store, another in another jewelry store, and so on the whole list, drugs, hard ware. shoes furniture, and so on. Even gooh dinners will be served at the hotels at a bargain price, and teams may be hitched in the stables at reduced rates There's going to be no halfway business about this planned-1or bargain day. The next two issues of The Bee viii contain each mer'hant's special announce ment.

The Hartford Courant editorially referring to Representative Johnson of Newtown, says: It is not every day in the General Assembly that a plain farmer member can turn down a unanimous report of the judiciary committee. Whatever sins may be laid at the door of the present House it will long be remembered as an in- dependent body with no special rev. erance fer the report of a committee. Practically the only committees which have not been pretty thor oughly spanked this year are those on federal relations and new coun- ties and county seats, and these have had no matters to report.

Those who only have moderate amount of time at their disposal or take their vacation on "the day at time plan," it is a foregone con- clusion, so those who have tried it say, that the trip across the Sound on the steamer Park City, on any week day afternoon, is full of satis- faction. The sail is most enjoyable and just long enough. The steamer leaves the wharf at the foo1 of Fair field avenue at 1.30 p. m. It takes one hour and thirty minutes to cross the Sound each way. The time allowed at Port Jefferson is ample to view this old ship building town. The return is made leaving Port Jefferson at 4.SO D. m.
