The Engaged Man.

| Etiquette, to be observed by q man as
soon as he is engaged TO be married, is
as strictly defined as it is for the girl.
F! though the former is not as often under
stood.
Immediately the engagement exists, and
before il is announced, the man should
notify his nearest relatives. II they live
In the same town with him he should tell
them by word OF mouth, making call
| specially for such purpose. II they are in
| another city he should write to them at
! once to let them know the news.
II either his father or mother is living
J he should go to them. rather than write.
that they may know his plans. Another
rea son for an immediate visit from him
J is that they should be able to receive
their sons future wife in the way that
will be happiest for them all. and this they
can better accomplish if they make plans
with the son.
| Society frequently takes its cue as to
conduct to the girl from the parents Of
the man who has become engaged. This
Is true If the man happens to have bet
] ter social position that that OF the girl.
or is more eligible than she. If his family
appears to welcome her the path OF her
engagement will be pleasanter. for others
will follow the example set by his par
ents.
When the mans nearest relatives live
/
place where his fiiancee resides. he should
ask them to go see her. II they are not
already acquainted with her. His parents
must write her Immediately, and If they
do precisely what is required OF them by
etiquette they will invite the girl to visit
them, though the stay need not necessarily
1 be q long one. If she is invited. however.
and accepts. as she should. 1t is evidence
of her frances family sanction Of the
engagement, and many small difficulties
| that might be made by others will never
appear. :.
Announcing his engagement to his family
! and relatives should be done by the man
before the world is taken into his conf
dence. II this procedure is followed the
girl is spared any embarrassment when
she is asked by friends II she knows her
fance's family. IF she can answer yes
without hesitation. or need OF explana-
tons. she will find herself more firmly
established socially than II she were
obliged to say no. or to qualify her
answer.
/ 1t is expected that some member OF a
mans family will give tea for his f1ancee
to introduce her to the familys friends.
IT, for any reason, this function is delay
ed during the engagement it should be
done soon after tho marriage as is
convenient ROSANNA SCHUYLER.

Bathing Powders.

Persons. whose skins are irritated in
cold weather by the use Of soap should
try substituting various cleansing mix
lures which may be put into the bath
water.
One mixture which is liked by many
women who possess delicate skins is made
from one pound of marshmallow flowers
one-quarter Of a pound Of hyssop herb
and four pounds Of bran -four. The in
gradients should be thoroughly mixed,
dry in a basin, and then about two heap
ing tablespoonfuls should be put into a
bag.
The bags to hold this compound should
be made from cheesecloth. They may be
about six inches square. They need not
be filled with the mixture, for smaller
quantity will be sufficient to soften the
water and the mixture, ii too much Is
used. will be lost, as a bag can be en-
poyed only twice.
To get the best results the bag should
be in the tub at least half an hour before
the bath, and while bathing the little sack
should be used as a piece OF soap.
For this purpose oatmeal Is excellent.
but il 1t Is to be soap substitute the
grains must be cooked for fifteen OF
twenty minutes, to allow the starch to
come out more quickly. The meal should
be cold before being combined with the
other ingredients.
One such oatmeal bath formula requires
| to five pounds Of grain one pound each OF
powdered Florentine Orris root and al
| mond meal and one-half pound of Castle
soap reduced to a powder. The almond
meal may he omitted il desired. Its
presence greatly increases the cost OF the
mixture.
Camphor liz excellent for the skin, being
softening and whitening. One way of EN-.
ploying It is to put one-half an ounce of
tincture OF benzoin and two ounces Of al
cohol With one ounce Of tincture Of cam
phor. -,
Enough of this must be used In the bath
to make the water slightly cloudy. Soap
may be employed with this compound.

Joshuatown each year, the run of shad on the entire length of the Con- nectfcut River will be materially in@ creased. The inability to obtain the ripe shad from which to procure the egg is for the reason. as has been repeatedly stated in previous reports, that the commercial interests of few block all proposed legislation for the preservation Of the shad on the limit. ed and restricted area of their spawn- ing grounds,
 Shad have long since ceased to run up the Thames. the Housatonic ana the Naugatuck Rivers-three rivers which in former times abounded with shad. A few shad occasionally ven-3 ture into the Quinnipiac River and arc caunght. With these conditions ex- isting, are we to allow the famous Connecticut, the only remaining river in the state in which there is positive- ly any hope of continuing the shad fishery, also to become barren Of shad when sharp restrictive measures will insure sufficient quantities of adulf shad reaching the spawning grounds to insure the supply for the future. Restrictive fishing operations, the lin- iting of the fishing season and prohibf- tion of fishing on the spawninA grounds will prevent the further de- pletion of these productive waters. and at the same time will give an oppor- tunity for the depleted waters to be- come again productive. The state of North Carolina recently passed laws confining and restricting fishing gears tosprescribed areas and leaving clear channels for the passage of fish to the spawning grounds. Immediate results were seen at the shad hatcheries in the Albemarle region. In five years the collection of shad eggs in these waters had dropped from seventy-five millions to six and one-half millions. The next year after theD enforcement of the new law the collection was most successful shad hatch was in that state, the egg collection exceed ed f1fty-five millions. The May 10th law passed in 1907, becoming operative in 1908, was a measure worthy to be continued if fishing in the tributaries was also prohibited.

TEX RICHARD SAILS FOR
 ARGENTINE REPUBLIC

New York, Feb. 20-G. l.. Rickard, of Ely, New, known everywhere as 'aTex" Rickard, promoter of the Jeff fries-J Johnson fight at Reno and the Nelson-Gans encounter, sailed on the Lamport & Holt liner vasari Satur- day, to look over Argentina. possibly with the purpose of engaging in the cattle business in that. rich country. 'aTex" looked it and prosperous. He isn't worrying over his prospects.
 ''I am through with the business of prize fighting, as there isn't anything in it." said the Western sportsman; "I don't like prize fighting anyway. I'm frontiersman. I like new things. am going down to Argentina to look over the arrangements there. It is not unlikely that I shall go into the beef and sheep raising business in the republic.
 1T shall also look into mining prop critics in Argentina. Me for an unde- veloped place. have taken trip ov- CT to South Africa to look around for the same purpose, but I did not see anything in Cape Town. I think Ar gentina is the place."

BROWN NO CHAMPION
 SAYS 40 WOLGAST
Lightweight Champ Makes Light of K. O.'s Punch and Criticises Jack O'Brien

Chicago. Feb. 2o-Ad wolgast, the lightweight champion, and his bride has left for New York where the Cadillac boy will battle with Knock out Brown on March g.. Ad announced that the fact that he is married will not hasten his retirement from the ring.
 Ad has no great amount of respect for Brown, even though the latter has been credited with having the better of the recent six-round bout in Phil adelphia.
 Brown will never be a champion" said Wolgast. 'tHe has been given a great reputation by the Eastern critics because he has knocked out lot of dubs. He hasn't any terrible punch. I purposely let him hit me several times on the point of the jaw, and can say that I was not hurt by any of the blows he landed. He has been helped by the referees in the East, who let him charge in with his head down, butt away for dear life and hang on as long as he wishes Whenever I got to doing any infighting at Philadelphia Jack OBrfen would shove me back and in turn would let Brown hang on as long as he wanted to.
 TT intend to cut loose with both hands with Brown in the New York fight and try to stop him and put an end to his little championship dream"

WEALTHY SPORTS
 SUBSCRIBE TO
 PROMOTE RACING
Especial from United Press.


 New York, Feb. 2o-That fund of not less than s15O,OOO will be subscrib- ed by wealthy patrons of racing to keep the sport alive during the com ing season was learned today. This money will be distributed as additions to the regular pursess offered by the several racing associations and it is planned to make at least one stake a day of sufficient money value to attract the best horses in training. The Jockey club and the rich men connected with the Coney Island, Westchester and Saratoga associations have decided that the time is ripe for a close corporation in racing. They plan to work from now on to build up the sport on the same sort of foun- dation it now rests on in England. Men who race horses for revenue only are to be discouraged and the gen. eral plan is to make the game rich mans. This, it is pointed out, would attract society to the tracks so that the gate would be worth while espe- cially if the plan now under consid- eration to make the minimum adnlis- sion fee five dollars should be put in effect. Then the field would be thrown open and public admitted free. The three big meetings of the year would be Saratoga, Sheepshead Bay and Belmont Park. These will run for more than a month at a time and will have plenty of guaranteed stakes many of which will have value of s5,000. It is admitted that this years racing will be conducted at loss but opportunity will be given to the as- sociations to minimize their expenses and the smaller ones will have their deficits made up by the wealthy turf men who are now banded together to keep the game going.

M'CANN HARD UP;
 NEEDS A CATCHER
DOnS His Snow Shoes and Glides
 Over to New Haven in Quest of One

Undaunted by the stinging particles
 of snow whisting around the corners,
 Manager Gene McCann, tightly but
 toned, slipped out into the elements bright and early this morning. Gene has acquired the habit of turning over in his bunk on looking out of the win dow on a morning such as today's. However, Gene had business to attend to this morning, and hied himself to the Elm City. His purpose other than that he was on business he refused to divulge. It was rumored that he was going to look up Owner George Cameron of the White Wings and would converse with him in the mat ter of a trade. Gene is anxious to corral Clyde Waters, Cameron's snap py Catcher and is willing to give an equivalent exchange
 Gene is hard up for catchers at the present time, but has tipped off the anxious ones that when the time comes, the Mechanics will be we'll sup piled with back stops. He has, as- already announced, secured Catcher Russell from the New York Americans, but wants to land a man who has had more experience, one who will be called upon to do the bulk of the sea- sons work. He has the lines working for a big leaguer at the present time.
 Gene has received word from. Billy Kerr, who was only recently re-in- stated and who for the past few sea- sons caught for the West Ends, that he does not intend to play profession al baseball this season. Kerr has good position with the American Graphophone co. He intimates that he would rather remain at his present duties than to take a chance with be- coming a star in the baseball firma- ment.
 Gene has not been laying off during the past few days. He is willing to give those amateurs, who believe that they are ripe to break into faster com pany a chance. He however, does not sign them up without inquiring in- to their playing and habits from those who know. The Mechanic manager will give Henry Gagain, clever Wa terbury amateur a chance to show his speed, Gagain is a back stop who has played many games for the Wa terbury Independents and who caught all the games for the Litchfield semi pro club last season. While with Litchfield, Gagain caught such heavers as Andy Coakley and Bugs" Ray mond
