B. & 0. MAN In
MELLEN'S PLACE

BY the United Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1I.-Announce-
ment Of the retirement Of President
Mellen from the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad had no
effect on the stock market today. A
Wall street expert said:
wall street had greater things to
think about today than Mellens re-
firing. His announcement had no ef>
feet on stocks and don't think It
will"
From a high oflcial q the New
Haven road in Boston c,me the an
nouncement, unofficial this afternoon
that Vice-President Byrne and not
Daniel Willard, president Of the
Baltimore and Ohio, would In all
probability succeed Mellen as presi-
dent. The official refused to allow
the use OF his name but he said
'Vice-President Byrne is the only
logical man for the place and there
Is no doubt In my mind that he Will
be the next president OF the New
York, New Haven and Hartford"
Attorney Charles S. Baxter Of Bos-
ton, one Of the leaders who opposed
the New Haven road In the fight for
the Boston and Hartford charter. said
today that Mellens resignation from
the presidency Of the New Haven
road comes as the result Of Mellens
realization that the people OF New
England are accustomed to having
their transportation promiseg fulfilled
and Mellen Is getting out while there
Is yet time 10 save his reputation.
The sentiment Of the people OF
New England is that the New Haven
road under Melen halls made promises
that Il finds impossible toi carry out, .

Dishes for St .Patrick's Day


 In planning a St. Patricks day lunch dishes which are of greensh hue or which may be tastefully garnished with green. The following St. Patricks day menu may be helpful:
 Clam Cocktails in Pepper Shells
 Cream of Spinach Soup. Crown Roast of Lamb.
 Potatoes in Jackets.
 Green Peas. Olives.
 Cheese Salad in Potato Shells.
 Pistachio Cream. Green Frosted Cakes. Green Candies.
 Coffee.
 The quantities in the recipes are esti- mated for the service of six.
 To prepare the calm cocktails make the dressing of the juice from a can of toma- toes boiled down till thick and seasoned highly with pepper, salt, lemon and horse radish. The stem ends of the sweet green peppers are cut off and the seeds, pulp and white cores removed from the inside of each shell. These shells are just the things to hold the clam cocktalys. If the shells do not stand upright easily. cut off ever si little of them to make the base solid. Garnish the shells with q | little watercress. A green soup comes next. Cook two ! quarts of spinach till tender. Chop it very fine and then press 1t through a sieve. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter and add two tablespoonfuls of four Then pour in slowly quart of milk and when well blended stir in the spinach. Season to taste, adding a little onion juice if one wishes. When serving, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top. This gives a soup delicate green color. | In serving the crown roast. have the center piled high with green peas and garnish the roast with a wreath of water cress. In place of the roast, lamb chops | or Russian outlets may be substituted. | The Russian outlets are far less expen- sive and make a tasty and most attrac- | tive dish.

You sit up watching the morning steal stealthily onward once more; making place for those same little old sensible, unsentimental morning hours; the lazy little afternoon hours; the frivolous lit tie tea hours, and for the pleasant din- ner hours and again-for this most be- loved of all hours.
 And then comes the Good Night Hour
 As the children say the 'nightie- night hour
 Queer
 Tonight-she is the same old night Curious? She always comes so late one never gets a very vivid distinct impression of just what she is like. The logs crumble and fall together; outside one hears the jungle call of cat.
 "The night has a thousand eyes,
 And so many little "cries,' cries that nobody knows but just you and your own poor little old aching heart.
 And the day has but F little hours. "The rest of the time, was not made for us,'' suggests some one, but for night watchmen and policemen and people who work on morning newspapers" The old nurse, Sleep" gathers us up and all the rest-is Dream
