WOMAN SUFFRAGE ASSN.
 PROGRESS IN CONNECTICUT
(Communicated.)

The record of progress in Connecti- cut Of the Connecticut Woman Suff- rage Association. Hartford, as given at the meeting of the executive board in New London on Tuesday, June II, was most encouraging. New London was chosen as the place of meeting, because the sufrragists there have re- gently organized under the leadership of Mrs. F. A. Johnson. At Norwich, also In New London county, there is an active suffrage movement and a league has been organized under the leadership of Mrs w. A. Norton. A meeting was held in New London in the afternoon of the 11th, and in Nor Wtch on the same evening. While New London county is thus waking up to the new movement. and New Haven county is rapidly getting into stride. Fairfield county keeps its pre- emtnence as the best organized suff- rage territory in the State. Each Sem .atorial distrfct and each town in Fair field county has its duly appointed leader and the work of forming new, lSekass s,nnt foes f on go rapidly that # is town ts~ the latest to fall in line.

Only for the moment. however, for Bedding Ridge had a meeting two weeks ago in the Mark Twain Library there, and as a consequence of the interest awakened at that meeting, a league will probably come into exist ence at Bedding Ridge, within the next few days
 The windup of the winters work is not being followed by a period of in- activity on the part of the suffragists. Lawn parties and picnics are being utilized for suffrage work. Last Tues day Mrs. Samuel c. Shaw of Bridge port opened her beautiful home for such a gathering, and on Saturday last the suffragists took advantage of the aviation meet at Winsted, an oc- casion which brought the farmers and their wives from miles around into Winsted-to push the propaganda for Votes for Women

CHARMING DECORATION
FOR A DINNER TABLE

A charming decoration for the dinner
table can be made by using a sheet Of
glass not more than 3 inches or 10
inches wide and extending nearly the
whole length Of the table. Trailing
branches OF apple blossoms should be
placed all around +he edge and partly
over It. Place q tall green glass at each
end filed with white roses, and two OF
three pieces of smilax trailing down
from the vase to the mirror.
For a centerpIece use a large silver
basket having a very tall handle. filled
with dessert apples and apple blossoms.
A few sprays OF feathery green aspar-
agus fern should be wreathed with smi-
lax and white satin ribbon.
A very charming effect, for instance,
could be produced by filling the basket
with brown and yellow orchids and pink
sEaleas, trading snilax from the basket
to the extreme end Of the mirror, while
the silver basket could be superseded by
real basket work, pale green in color,
and having the handle wreathed in
white lilies and narrow green ribbon.
Small baskets with tall handles could
replace the glass vase.

ed In friendship7 From the beginning
Of time the marriages that have stood for

genuine companionship, each ready to
follow where the other leads.

trusted to guide the good ship away
from the shoals Of boredom, indifference

Cases for NanerY.

cloths, which usually are kept in the
sideboard drawers, are made Of long
strips Of plain Irish linen. one end OF
which must be attached with tiny tacks
to a roll Of soft wood. also covered with
linen. After this linen strip has been
wound once about the roll there will be
no danger Of its tackheads tearing the

q cluster Of artificial posies, buttons,
chemisette and undersleeves Of ribbons
trimming or looping up the skirt dra-

great deal Of cheap trimming. but now
il Is possible to buy ginghams, percales,
lawns, linens, &c, absolutely simple in
design, admirable in finish and detail,
and fair in quality for amazingly low

So pretty and so reasonable in price
are these little frocks, that many women
have given up the spring sewing, whicn
