A sale of unusual interest to lovers
Of the antique was held last week in
Guilford at the house of Mrs. Eva B.
Leete, a collector of antiques. This

last representative of the Griffing fam
lily. Mrs. Sarah Brown Cone of Stock
bridge, Mass, died a few months ago
ard the sale was in the course of set
tlement of the estate. ~ iv.s1.

chased the famous "Old Stone House

eeeded to the ownership. 1S00-1S45.
Then it passed to the latter's daugh-
ter, Mrs. Henry H. Chittenden,, and at
last to her daughter, Mrs. Cone. who
in 1900 sold the ancient dwelling to
the state. 1t had been owned by the
Grifhng family 125 years.
Prominent among the silver pieces
vas a porringer dating back to about
1725. when it was owned by Baenabas
Tuthill of Southold, L. l. This por-
ringer went for price never before
paid for a similar article, save one the
porringer of Paul Revere. The silver
tankard of Jasper Griffing, 1887, was
also in great favor
Great interest was shown in dainty
pair of sugar tongs and an English
creamer, the latter of which is to &c
to San Francisco. These articles were
once the property of Rachel Lee before
she became the bride OF Jasper Grit
fing (about 1761) Riding into New
Haven on a pillion- behind the saddle
of her lover, Rachel Lee bought the
creamer and sugar tongs with money
she had earned by making buttonholes
on grea tcoats, as overcoats were then
termed.

Gives Up New York State.

The republican party in New York
has been disintegrated and is to be
further disintegrated to the point that
in no way can it carry the state. II
the threatened overdose of populism
is injected at Saratoga, death for the
present will be instant. If those who
stand by the traditions and principles
that for so years commanded the re-
spect of intelligent voters rule the con-
-vention, the struggle will be longer,
but futile, at the close. The black
cloud of dust and winds which ascends
by day and by night from Oyster Bay
has already befuddled voters enough
to defeat this year even the best NOM
nations that genuine republican voters
of New York can name New York
has been thrown away, and for what ?

very prettily trimmed. while the skirt is
full and laid in deep pleats.
The regulation sailor suit is made in
both MILDLY and sailor blouse effects. The
skirts are pleated and the blouses are
braid trimmed and decorated with silk
'emblems. The MILDLY style will cost $3.50.
while the conventional sailor model comes
from s. upward.
Girls Coats.
Coats for girls are decidedly smart this
year, and unless to be worn by small
children the tailoring should not be done
at home. Dresses may pass muster even
If made by beginner in dressmaking,
but it takes a professional to turn out a
good coat. At the prices I doubt whether
there would be any saving by purchasing
the materials and making at home when
one includes the findings.
1 saw a coat at a most reliable store,
one of the latest designs, too, at only
1915. 1t was of diagonal cheviot, in navy
blue. the single-breasted closing at the
side and the neck finished with a storm
collar trimmed with black silk braid.
The same thing appeared on the cuffs.
The back was in graceful box effect, and
two pockets with flaps were added to the
fronts. This came in sizes for girls up
to fourteen years.
At 1915 there was a variety of designs
and materials to choose from Diagonal
cloth. cheviOt and serge were represented,
also caracul this was $3.50. while many
novel effects were noticed A loose coat
of navy blue cheviot was trimmed with a
sailor collar faced with red. One end of
the collar ended a few inches only below
the chin, losing itself under a long Rus
sian rever reaching the waist line-a con-
tinuation of the collar-which was edged
with two rows of black braid. A loose
belt. similarly trimmed, gave a smart
touch to this stylish coat.

Fitting out boys and girls with suitable
clothing for fall and winter wear in school
Is the task of a very large number of
mothers just now. The weather is usually
so warm at the first opening of school
that the clothing worn during the sum-
mer, will, as rule, answer at the start,
providing 1t is in sufficiently good condi-
ton.
This is fortunate, for, once the children
are in school, the mother can make the
plans quietly and without undue haste,
and this often means saving of money.
When there is plenty of leisure for sew
ing, the best results are obtained by pur-
chasing the material and making it up at
home In this way individual preferences
can be carried out. there will be no neces-
sity for alterations. provision can be
made for growing, and there will be pieces
left over for repairs. etc.
On the other hand, if a seamstress must
be employed. 1T would seem that ready
made clothing WILL on the whole. be more
satisfactory. In the first place. only
plain dressmaker cares to go out by the
day to make childrens garments, and she
could not be expected to give those smart
touches so often seen on girls frocks.
etc, reary made a even most moderate
price. The very cheapest show good lines
as a rule. To employ a skilled dress
maker would cost a great deal more than
the material.
Dress Suggestions.
Every mother will know which plan will
suit her best. Some prefer to buy the
school frocks and make the best one at
home. while there are others who say it
pays better to make up the simple. every
day dresses themselves and to buy one
nice frock for best. >The success of either
plan will depend upon the taste and skill
Of the worker.
II one can do embroidery or fine needle
work, then 1t may be deemed advisable to
buy the less expensive frocks and pur-
chase materials for the best one. while If
one feels unqualified to produce smart
effects 1t will be better to attempt only
the more simple dressmaking.
A nice best dress will cost at least SO.
A school frock, neatly made. can be
bought for $2.75 to 1915. At the former
price the offering Is In shepherds check.

Japanese Women Slim.

japanese women are slim and shapely
in middle and later life when English
and American women are often stout and
unwieldy. Why is this? Is 1t not be-
cause Japanese women sit on the floor
when taking their meals and at other
times, when we in England and Ameri-
ca use chairs? The constantly getting up
and down and the reaching, and swaying
about when down keep the supernuous
fat from accommodating round the hips and
abdomen, says Home Notes
Might not we take lesson from this
and by few simple exercises keep our
good figures in spite of our years?
The following exercise taken each
morning for a few minutes before dress
ing will help materially toward this ideal:
Sit on the floor with legs crossed tailor
fashion and initiate rowing motion with
the arms.
Another exercise which might be taken
alternately with this is:
Stretch out arms horizontally with
shoulders and slowly sway the body from
side to side until first the right hand and
then the left touches the thigh.

Preserved Peaches.

Peel the peaches by dropping a few
moments in hot water. The skins can
then be rubbed in hot water. The skins
can then be rubbed off without any
trouble. If the peaches are not very
large and are to be left whole, allow
three-quarters Of a pound of sugar to
each pound of fruit. If to be cut in
halves, allow a pound Of sugar to each
pound of fruit, weighed before cutting.
Make strip of the sugar and as little
water as possible and cook the peaches
in it until tender and transparent. Lift
out carefully and pack in jars; boil the
strip until thick and clear, strain, pour
over the fruit and seal at once. A little
brandy added just before sealing the jars
converts them into branded peaches. Use
firm peaches-a little underripe rather
than overripe ones, which lose their form.
