With ANNUAL DISPLAY
Hundreds of Enthusiasts Visited
Library Art Gallery to Admire
Local Art Products

Members Of the Bridgeport Art
League, whose exhibition at the art
gallery of the Bridgeport Public Lii
brary extended throughout last week,
expressed themselves as delighted
with the success Of the annual dis
play of local art products. Many hun
dreds took advantage of the exhibit,
and during several afternoons the art
gallery was filled with enthusiasts,
connoiseurs and jealous amateurs
alike, who admired the diversified dis
play Of artistic creations.
One of the most striking features
of the display this year, according to
the older members of the league, Is
the evidence of progress of the young
err members reflected by the increas-
ing merit of the exhibits. This was
particularly true in the department OF
oils, water colors and miniatures.
There were "a distinct exhibits in this
department. AS usual, the best
known members of the Art League
contributed many attractive features,
that came in for admiration and ia
vorable criticism by the experts in
vited to pass upon the work.
Among the more recent members of
the league, Miss Sara Duggan was
complimented for the merit of her
three displays, one a still life. another
"Canteloupe'', and the third "Pome-
granates."
The art gallery at the library is con-
coded to be one of the most advan-
tageously lighted institutions of the
sort in the country.

MRS. DETWEILER AIDS
YOUNG FARMERS

Mrs. Meade d. Detweiler, widow of
a former national ruler of the Elks,
has many charitable inclinations sim
liar 10 those which made her hus-
band beloved by the thousands of
members of this order throughout
the country. Mrs. Detweiler is es-
pecially interested just now in a plan
TO teach youngsters less than 10 years
old to be farmers. With other women
associated with her in this work in
Harrisburg. Pa, she believes the
back to the farm movement will be
4 lasting one, and that the Nation
feeds to develop agricultural knowl-
Edge in its young to greater extent
than in the past. This, of course,
is with the ultimate idea of reducing
the cost of living by increasing the
outPuS of farm products Mrs. Det-
weller and her associates are direct
ing garden schools. in which plots
of land De allotted to youngsters
for development. One of these
schools has $50 plots. An arrange
ment has been made whereby seeds
are sold to the prospective agricultur-
lists at nominal cost. The children
have shown great interest in the plan
and prizes are offered for the best
vegeta bles raised in the school gar
dens. Competent instructors are
employed, and markets are provided.
Last year many youngsters netted
substantial financial profits through
their efforts, and this year the num-
Der of pupils is increased.

The girl who frets because her
arms are as thin as sticks should
partake of a nourishing diet, even
though she may want to maintain a
slim figure. She also should rub into
her arms every night the particular
fattener she finds most effective
cream skinned from milk almond
oil or the special brand of cold cream
she buys. She should instruct her
dressmaker to put into her evening
frocks sleeves made of filmy fabric,
which will veil the arms to the elbow
only just sufficiently to disguise the
fact that the limbs are lean without
hiding their pretty color. If the
color needs to be improved the arms
may be treated with cold cream and
powder before the dance, but every
vestige of the cosmetic must be rub
bed away before the dress is put on.
The process of rubbing should be un-
dertaken at least three-quarters of
an hour before party time. 1t is
a good plan for the girl whose arms
are too thin and inclined to look scar
let to put on her long kid gloves
some time before she starts for the
party. The effect of the gloves will
be to warm the arms and leave them
of a delicate color and one that will
match the hands.

SOCIETY ACTRESSES BAR MEN

A dramatic organization composed
exclusively of society women has
been formed in Detroit It is known
as the Theatre Art Club and is made
up largely Of wives and sisters of the
members of the Players Club, of
which it frankly will appear as a
rival. Even the players in the lat
ter organization will not be permit
ted to view the performances of the
women's club, for, with the single ex-
ception of one performance a year,
when the general public will be ad-
mitted, all men will be excluded The
membership of the Theatre Art Club
includes mostly women of Detroit
possessing dramatic talent. It will
give performances once a month. The
charter members are Mrs. Charles
Pierpont Larned, Mrs. Nellie Peck
Saunders Mary Curtenius, Mrs Jas.
Murtin. Mrs. Ralph H. Page, and Mrs.

HULL SUES FOR
VALUE OF EGGS

Because his wagon was struck by
a trolley car and milk and eggs spill
ed upon the highfay, Horace e. Hull
of Fairfield has brought suit against
the Connecticut Co, for $500 dam
ages. Papers in the action were filed
Saturday in the Court of Common
Pleas. Hull declares that on Octo-
Der IL, 1910, he was driving his wag-
on along the highway at $50 in the
morning At a point near Oliver Tur-
ney's residence. the vehicle was struck
by a car. The wagon was smashed
and the horses hip injured. Also
the contents of the wagon, milk and
eggs, were strewn along the road.
Hull says the horse was so badly
injured that it was necessary to hire
another animal at cost of $25 to do
the work and repairs to the wagon
cost 800. The milk and eggs were
a total loss.

DAIRY FARMING HER HOBBY.

Dairy farming is the hobby of Mrs.
Robert A. Ware of Boston, member of
an old Massachusetts, family and con-
spicuous in the more intellectual So
ciety of the Bay State capital. On
her farm, which has been in the
hands of Wares since the seventeenth
century, she has a model dairy, in
which are selected cows, kept in sur
roundings SO immaculate never a
germ dares show its nose. The milk
from the prize herd was the first to
be certified in Massachusetts,, and the
owner of the farm gains substantial
profits from her. avocation. In the
summer Mrs. Ware conducts a six
weeks course in dairying for girls. 1t
is said that by no means all the milk
maids who skim the cream and make
butter in the steriIized. white enamel
ed dairy are farmers daughters.
