this season An advance has been made from the time when any cloth skirt and shirtwaist made up the costume for house wear. The adjustment of a shirt waist. with all its accessories. all fresh and all in the best of order. was not an easy matter. belt could never be put on carelessly and a collar takes time to adjust properly. Therefore. the popular ity of the one-piece house frock has been assured. The dress is made without a boned lining. The skirt Is extra short and the neck is usually finished with n wide collar of lace or lingerie.
 The blouse part of the fr6ck is ar ranged in tucks or small plaits and the fastening usually is in the back. Sleeves are long and entirely of the material. or have a lower half-sleeve of net or some contrasting material. The skirt is cut with n slightly high waist and joined to the blouse under a fitted band of the material. The fabrics for these comfort able frocks are many, but the most fla vOred are the soft woolens. worsteds. shepherds plaids and fouards. These are trimmed with bands of embroidery. braidngS. pipings or ribbon.
 All of the new petticoats that are made in combination are cut circular. with absolutely no fitness at the top. They are of the finest nainsook or linen lawn and from the knees down there is

TWO CHAPS AND TWO RAISES IN SALARY.

 When. the Boss raised the salary of Chap No. 1 he also gave one tO-Chap No. 2 Then he decided to keep Close Tab on the two young men.
 Chap No. 1. on the day of his Increase in Salary, was quite elated. He invited q half-dOzen or so of the other Chaps in the office to go out with him and Cele- brate. He told them about his Raise and implied that he was on much more Intf mate Personal grounds with the Boss than he really was Tn fact. he Won dered why the Boss hadn't given 1t to him sooner, and said so
 By the end of the week he was con vinced that his Raise meant that the Boss simply couldn't get Along Without Him and that, now he'd gotten the raise. he could sort of Rest on his Oars a bit without feeling that the Boss would care. He took to himself Airs and a Demeanor of Importance and he considered hls Raise but an Addition to his Income to be spent fin the procuring of additional
 
 the fact that the Raise had been a Bad Thing for the lad.
 Chap No. had received his raise with out soliciting 1t. Therefore, it meant All the More to him. But it didn't make him Chesty and he didn't conclude that the Boss simply couldn't get along without him. And he didn't tell all the other chaps in the office about 1t, or conclude that he would be justified in Resting on his Oars bit. More than all else, his Raise did not mean merely an Additional Sum of Money to be spent as soon as re- ceived in luxuries.
 It went into the Savings Bank, on the theory that as he'd Gotten Along without 1t before he didn't need it now. Hence the Bank was the obvious place for 1t. Besides, 1t was but incidental anyway the Work was the Real Thing. Much of which gradually became Apparent to the Boss and he was glad he'd given the young man a Boost in the Pay Envelope.
 Which goes to show that there are sev- eral different Ways of getting Raises; as many ways of looking at 1t After 1t has been secured: but only two ways of dispCsing of it-eitheI 10 Spend it or Save iti

Lodge RegaIia.

IA ILLIONS of dollars are spent in the United States each year for lodge regalia. The costumes are made up in almost every color. but the designs generally are iashy. Red Is the favorite. yellow and blue run neck and neck for second hOnOrs. The cOmbina tions are not supposed to blend. the idea being to give daZzling effect, which will inspire the wearer with comma nding spirit and instil humility.
 Not long ago a Kansas City firm manu- factured a niekel-studded uniform for lodge officer. The uniform alone weighs 20 pounds The helmet, which was extra, weighed three pounds. Regalia and uni forms are expensive. The money spent on the uniform of chief officer of all most any traternal chapter would pay for three ordinary suits of clothing.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

For, look you, the forming of good resolutions implies not onl basic long longing for progess. but a refusal to accept as the ultimate anything less than perfection; while the breaking of them proves merely that the poor, tired grOwn-up, human child has mistaken his strength. Old Janus could tell us that one little resolution. and one only. is all we need; that to renew this one every night and every morning. to live with it and let 1t live with us every hour, waking and sleeping, would transform our lives; and, lastly, that sinking into our heart of hearts it might find sonle such words as these,
 With malice toward none. with
 charity for all. with firmness in the
 righo as God gives us to see the
 right, let us strive on,''-
 strive to do faithfully the work that day by day God gives each one of us to do. Surely, were this one quiet res olution to be made and kept by us all, Janus would walk next year over we'll swept path; and who knows but that his backward turning face might change from grim to genial, even as winter melts into spring.
 How glad Janus must be of his two additional faces-he has four in all how glad to have one face with no watchdog duty attached to 1t. a face to look out upon the world with, and eyes to see how beautiful our world can be.
 
 God be thanked. the meanest of his
 creatures
 Boasts two soul-sideS, one to face the
 world with,
 One to show a woman when he loves
 her."
 Heaven forbid that Janus should be so absorbed in guarding the gates of the Past and Future as never to turn that third, care-free. childlike face of his out over our snow-drifted fields ana meadows never to rejoice in the poy wonder world. such as we see today, with feathery, faery tres growing out of a sea of purity up into dome of blue. With his nature-loving face, doubtless he is urging us to add to our one resolution. or to include within it, an awakening to the spirit or beauty; to make friends with the sky-which is doing something bewildering and on gray days, rainy days, dismal days, dreamy days, misty days. pret- ty days, golden days, and all days of the long year round He way be urging us to look off to the hills, whence cometh our help to rise above the pettinesses of daily routine; to chum with the trees; to dance on glad feet over ''the brown old earth;" wine; and. above all. to open our hearts to stars and flowers to whist ling winds and billowing waves, to rain and snow and sleet as well as to sunshine and; warmth to birds and annals; to pris- ouers and cautives; to little chill dren and old folk: to those in the strain and stress and struggle of mid dle life; indeed. to everything that breathes the breath of life. So shall we make of this new year the happi- est year We have ever known. We shall reveI in the beauty and grandeur of the changing seasons. We shall be glad of life and of all that life means to us glad with the joy of living. the joy of loving and helping. the joy of the heart that answereth to heart; the joy and the love that make of every day Christmas and of every year a Happy Year and New.

THE INEscAPAsLE AVERAGE.

The Boston Post calls attention to the fact that the recent disastrous nortteaster and the following cold snap are simply an attempt on the part of nature to establish the annual average of temperature.
 In support of this theory, The Post says:
 We have had hot and cold summers mild and severe winters: and we grumbIe or take it contentedly, ac- cording as it happens to suit us in dividually in each ease. But when we figure it all out we see that one year goes about the same as another; that what we miss in temperature at one season, or at some particular point in the season, is balanced at another.
 From the sun we get each year just about the same amount of heat. Its distribution through the seasons also varies very little. The bother of it is that we never know just when some eccentric change Is coming. Perhaps the science of the weather bureau may in the course of time reach that degree of prescience."
 The inescapabl average is no dream in nature; it is no dream in the race of life and death; ii is no dream in the statistics representing human dis tress and it's results as shown in the list of homicides, suicides and fatali- ties: it is no dream in the industrial results, or the results of benefcent giving. Each year the unacceptable av- craze holds true in most of the depart ments of life, and it is one of the evidences of the presence of Provi- dence in the affairs of men-the base upon which rests the maxim: Man proposes-God disposes."

EMPLOYED e2 YEARS.
Loren H. Robertson, Native of South Coventry, Sticks to Business at Colts


 Before the Christmas shutdown the Colt Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing company gave some of it's older em- ployes gifts of gold in recognition of long and faithful service. and among the men thus honored was Loren H. Robertson of No. 102 White street, says the Hartford Courant. Mir. Rob- ertson has been in the employ of the company for sixty-two years, and that ought to make a record which is pretty creditable to both parties to the con- tract. The company is in good health and is MT. Robertson. who is en- toying life whenever the shop runs and thus enables him to be busy. Just now he is bit uneasy because the plant is shut down for inventory and there is nothing for him to do. If it were summer it would be different, for then he gets out at 4 o'clock in the morning and works in one of the best gardens in Hartford, but for all that he finds this a pretty good world to live in, and he ought to know some thing about it, for he has been here for eighty-one years.
 MT. Robertson was born in South
