JUVENILE LAUNDRY BAGS.


Conducive to neatness perhaps, and
certainly to be enjoyed by the small
girl as being her very own,' would be
a little laundry bag. in which she
might tuck only her own little pet
ties and froclts.
Mother or big sister might embroider
one for the small girl, if she is so in
cllned, using white pique or some other
heavy washable fabric for the bag it.
self. 1t should be generous in size and
big enough to hold all the little maids
belongings.
A new idea in laundry bags for chill
dren is to have them stamped with
Teddy bears In various amusing stunts
or children at work or play.
Heavy white cotton cords, which are
to be procured In the shops, are used
for the draw-strinss.

81 Have No Time"

IT never hear a person lamenting the
fact that she has not time for this
thing or that said busy woman,
but I am reminded of a talk L had
with my father many years ago L
had been bernoaning the fact that time
was SO short and that 1 did not seem
to do much of anything; | read little,
sewed less, and. in fact, did not &C
complish much My father heard me.
He said he thought that the fault was
not with time, but with myself.
Then he went on to explain that
he believed in order to accomplish
things in this world a desire to do
things must first be created; if the
desire were sufficiently great. if one
wished to do thing very much, he or
she would arrange to do it. In other
words, person usually would manage
to do the thing he or she wished to do.
Il pondered a great deal over what
he said and the more l thought the
more the common sense of it appealed
to me. I tried to analyze my dis
position of time to see whether my not
reading was due to lack of time or
because I simply went along happy-go-
lucky fashion and did not make the
effort l found the latter was true and
1 set about at once to remedy it.
The truth of what father said was
borne in on me very deeply. AS a
natural consequence I found myself
doing many things which before 1 had
dismissed with the conviction l had
not time for them"

Canned and Branded Peaches.

Peaches for canning should be ripe,
but not so ripe as to be soft. Pour
boiling water over them. In a few
minutes try one; if the skin comes off
readily, pour off the water at once,
strip off the skins. cut in half and take
out the stones Pack the peaches in
quart glass cans as solidly as possible.
Add a cupful and a half of sugar, and
fill to overlooking with cold water. Fit
new rubbers on and screw the covers
on as tightly as possible. Arrange hay
or straw on the bottom of the wash
boiler; put the cans in with some of
the hay Or straw between them. Put
the boiler on the stove, cover the cans
with water and bring to the boiling
degree. Boil for one hour steadily
from the time boiling begins. Repeat
the hours boiling the next day and the
day after. Then. as the cans cool, try
10 screw the covers on tighter, drap in
dark paper and store in the dark.
To brandy peaches, follow directions
for canning peaches. using two cups
of sugar and two thirds of a cup of
brandy to each can. Be careful when
adding the water that the overflow
does not waste the brandy.

For Dull compIexions.

Women who are dull in coloring
should never surround themselves with
brilliant shades. They will only accen-
tuate the point which they wish to
conceal A dull jewel is never COM
bined with a beautiful brilliant; the
contrast is too great to show off either
to any advantage. Women of this type
should learn a lesson from the Jewell
ers. surrounding themselves only with
such hues as will harmonic with their
own Indifferent coloring.
It must not be supposed, however,
that the wardrobe will be unattractiye
because it must be selected from the
somber shades. There are great
many co1ors in the softer tones which
are very beautiful.
A soft gray can always be worn to
advantage by drab women, as it throws
whatever color they may have into
high relief.
The subdued plums and puppies are
also attra ctiye, as is that pinkish
brown shade called ashes of roses.
Blue in almost any tone except the
most brilliant tints. such as electric,
Yale blue etc, can be worn by women
who belong to this class.
For evening wear lavender. pink in
some deeper tone. such as gold or blue,
which will give it character. BABY
blue and a very soft shade of rose are
the colors which should be selected.
Those to be avoided are brown in al
most any tint. green in all its varie-
lions, red and black and white.

Preserved and Spiced Pears.

Pour boiling water on the pears. In
2 few minutes the skin will be loose
enough for the pears to be peeled cas-
lily. If the pears are large cut them
in quarters; if small, halve them.
Core the fruit. Make syrup of three
pounds and a half of sugar and a quart
of water. Bring it to the boiling de-
gree and boil gently until tender and
clear. Then take each piece with a
spoon and put in sterilized glass cans,
packing carefully to the brim. Fill
to overflowing with the boiling syrup,
fit on new rubbers and screw the COW
ers on as tightly as possible. When
cold, wrap in dark paper and store in
dark place.
To spice the pears, follow the direc-
lions given for preserving, substituting
a pint of vinegar for a pint of the
water in making the syrup, and adding
tablespoonful of whole cloves, two
tablespoons each of allspice and brok-
en- stick cinnamon and a teaspoon of
crushed ginger.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sunday Laws.

Mr.. Editor: The recent action by
our state legislature and the discus
sion had, in the two houses, in relation
to Sunday laws, are calculated to give
people of culture and good. sense a
tired feeling.
In the first place. by what sense of
personal liberty, justice, freedom of
conscience or morality, do we have any
special laws for Sunday. that; are not
operative on other. days?
The constitution of the United
States, which is fairly good authority,
says: No religious test shall ever be
required as qualification to any office
or public trust under the United
States Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of re1ig-
ion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof; or abridging the freedom of
of the people, peaceably, to assemble y
1t will be noted that there is no re-
striction on any day. in all this.
The constitution of Connecticut, for
which all citizens of this common
wealth should have some knowledge
and respect, provides: That the exer-
else and enjoyment of religious profes-
sion and worship, without discrimina
ton, shall forever be free to all per-
sons in this state and that no prefer
ence shall be given. by law, to any
Christian sect or mode or Worship. !"
any exception. on certain days, or any
embargo or Introduction placed on Sun
day. 1t is clearly evident, to us. that
the enactment of any Sunday law, re-
stricting the liberties of the people on
that day. or making anything unlawful
on Sunday that would be lawful on
any other day. is contrary not only to
the spirit and intention, but the letter,
of both the constitution of the United
States and the constitution of Connec-
icut, and must be doubly unconsti-
tutionaL
By what principle of religious free
dom, liberty of conscience and justice
does the law attempt to prescribe peo-
pies actions on one day more than on
other days? Has the law any more
right to say what one shall do on
Sunday than what he shall eat or what
hour he shall rise or what hour in the
day he shall have his meals? 1t is

PROPOSED
ECONOMIES WHICH
DISTURB.

There Is project on foot to reduce
the custom house districts from 124 to
73. and the plan will not leave more
than a dozen custom houses in New
England 1t is not a pleasing prospect
to the distributors of political favors
to see the fourteen custom houses of
Maine reduced to four, and the custom
houses of Massachusetts brought down
from eleven to four. with Connecticut
ana Rhode Island reduced proportion
ally. This reform has been agitated
for many years but congress has stead
lily declined to endorse it. When the
new congress comes in no one can tell
just how it will regard the proposition.
Secretary Meyers proposition to dis
continue several of the New England
navy yards is creating anxiety in all
pefghborhoods where they are located.
Portsmouth is exercised. and Boston.
too, for that matter, over the prospect
of the Kittery navy yard being discon-
tinued; and Connecticut can see no
sense or economy in letting the
Thames river property, which the gov
erment may sore1y need some time, re-
vert to the heirs, which it must do the
moment the land il not used for naval
purposes.
The proposition Of Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock to reduce the expense
of carrying the mails by the railroads
so as to save nine millions. is not re-
garded with favor by these public
service corporations; and should he
succeed it will be the most astonishing
manifestation Of power in the history
of the postoffice department, and the
greatest single economy carried into
effect; although it should be borne in
mind that Mr.. Hitchcocks economy in
the use of Irvine saved several millions
to the government the first year his
new rules were enforced.
Congress is not noted for taking
kindly to such economies as these, and
it may be impossible to get a demo-
cratic congress to favor schemes which
reduce patronage and are likely to
produce adverse political conditions.
