ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER
Fatal Mistake for Mother-Don't Be Ignorant of Your Children's Friendships-Grow Along
 With Children.

One of the most fatal mistakes a mother makes in the upbringing of her children is not to know from their earliest days just who are their friendx
 The mother who is willing to let her sor or daughter make chance ac- quaintances, who are never invited to the home but are intimates in busi- ness life, or that great Common Play ground. the Moving Picture Shows, need not be surprised if some day that son or daughter. runs off with an entire stranger to the mother.
 If mothers would keep a closer watch on the growing friendships of their children, there would be less likelihood of sorrow oyer an unhappy maria age.
 A mother does not have to be a spy or infict her company on the young associates of her children to learn just what sort of companions these chil- dren are seeking. The home should be the place where the young inmat tes feel privileged to bring their friends.
 The mother working along the right lines of confidence between herself and her boys and girls will prove that she can be as chummy as though she were their own age.
 It is not essential for her to act the clown in order to entertain the friends Of her children But if she clearly shows an interest in the happenings which appeal to them, she will be very likely to tactfully get a, pretty clear idea of their dispositions and charao- ters.
 If she has demonstrated from the beginning of her association with her children in their nursery days, that her Judgment is good, her restrictions on growing intimAcies made only with reason, the young man or woman will as readily. agree to her wishes, as the little boy and giE

FAIRFIELD AVENUE PAVING CONTRACTS
 WERE AWARDED
ANTICIPATED THAT WORK WILL BEGIN IMMEDIATELY -- ELM sTREET PAVING JOBS ALSO PLACED.

Contracts are awarded and there is every reason to expect that work on Fairfield avenue paving will begin immediately. The Paving and Sewer commission met last night. opened bids for the wood blocks and for the paving work and anticipated an inn mediate beginning of the job. The only check which can now be placed upon the task of getting something done would be injunction proceedings from some dissatisfied property owner. The construction contract calls for the completion of the job within SO days after ft is started.
 Five bids were received for supply dng the wooden blocks. Warren Bros, of Boston, were among the bidders. lit being their first appearance for lo- blocks made by a Toledo, Ohio firm, samples of which were submitted. They actually bid the lowest burt other expenses incidental to the contract made things more in favor of the Ann erican Cresoting Co. of Newark, N. contract. Loftus, Dargan and Gilbert of New Bedford received the contract to lay the blocks.
 The American Cresoting Co.,, bid s32.96 per one thousand square yards, for furnishing the wood blocks, under .M Bros. Co, of Boston bid $50, but it was figured that this saving of three cents on every thousand square yards would be more than lost in the ex- pense of having city chemical ex- pert go to Toledo to make an inspec- ton of the blocks as the blocks were being prepared, so the bid was award ed to The American Creosoting Co. H B. Clew1ey of the Warren Bros. Go, appeared before the commission and spoke about the blocks his firm had to offer Loftus, Dargan and Gill bert of New Bedford, bid SIPS per square yard under guarantee and Sl21 without guarantee, on the work of laying the blocks This was easily the lowest bid.
 The wood blocks for paving Elm St. will be furnished by The American Creosoting Co, at the same price as bid on the Fairfield avenue block. Lof- tus. Dargan and Gilbert bid lower on this job than on the Fairfield avenue job, proposing to do the work at a. rate of $1-19 a square yard under guarantee and S1.18 without guarantee. The contract was also awarded them.
 So as to get an idea of what the Warren Bros. Co.,, of Boston, have to offer by way of wood blocks that the commission may have som ething to go by in future bids, it was voted to make an analysis of the blocks fur nished by this company.
 The matter of headers for the paw ing work will be left to Director Cour- tade.

scRE#Ns ARE DEcoRATIvE


 The woman who. is having read- justnaent of her furniture will do we'll to consider the value of a screen as a decorative adjunct.
 American architects are making the screen do duty for the door to a con- siderable extent. The effect is one of spaciousness in quite a small house, for length of vista is the result. Long rooms leading into one another are decorated in schemes which blend har- moniously, and the result is an airy and delightful whole.
 Tn a certain house recently lined prettily for bride, a lovely screen was the feature of a mauve-toned sit ting room It was in dull black cloth, which formed perfect background for the scene depicted. tall purple and white iris growing in a pool, the spiky leaves being so absolutely per feet and the. flowers so wonderfully worked as to make one doubt whether 1t could be embroidery. Over the pool hovered a solitary bird with 2 red and blue head and a long red bir. which gave the little touch of color which the picture needed.

GOOD SUGGESTION.

Perhaps you have teapoot which has an unsightly nick in the top or the spout. Do not discard it, but put if aside for paraffin Into the teapot put all the pieces of paraffin as they come from jelly and marmalade glasses, first washing each piece most carefully. When there is occasion to use paraffin next time set the teapot on the stove. When heated you can pour out the paraffin more easily rom the teapot than from cup.

Autumn Hats Simple and Smart The Sailor Shape in Favor
 Smaller Styles in Vogue.

It IS with genuine pleasure tnat l turn to the autumn hats. There is SC much style and at the same time so much simplicity in their shape and trimming that it is satisfaction to describe and to recommend them. For one thing shapes are smaller and smarter, though the real turban is not as much in evidence as last 1 season.
 The sailor, while really a youthful shape, is always becoming even to the matron Nothing prettier will be worn this autumn than a tan felt narrow brimmed sailor, trimmed with standing loops of green and red changeable silk. AS bit of m1llin- Eery it seems to embody in these tints the autumnaI foliage of September and October.
 turn up in front the brin being Of a different color from the crown. This is decidedly good in black velvet with the brin of white felt, and a masSed trimming resting on the crown or white velvet camellias and green leaves.
 Black and white, can always be de- pended on for style and becoming ness. It never wearies the eye as do the more striking tones. Black and hunter s green also work up well. par- ticularly in a good shape showing moderately ffuted brim. At the open ing on the riglt-Inost of the hats show the flare on the right instead Of on the Ieft-a wide burnished green wing, the only trimming spreads out fan like
 Plaid ribbons and velvets will be much in vogue, and are very effective before heavy breasts or dressy plunes find favor.
 The use of the velvet crown in the revived derby shape, somewhat softens the sharpness of the face brim. With only an additional standing aigrette right in front, you secure a hat that can be worn equally well for shopping Or calling
 Because these hats are simple, 1t does not follow that, they can be bought for a song. The woman who is handy with her needle or owns a big box of millinery left overs will be able to arrange some effective nlti- linery. But to buy outright means the expenditure of eight dollars at least on the plainest hat
 Strange as 1t may seem when the new models in velvets and felts come in is 8 specially good time to buy straw hats for next year. The g shapes reduced to 26 or 50 cents are plenty good enough for the first spring hat next year as the more paSSe modes of the early season have been sold out
 It Is by using forethought of this kind that many woman of limited purse gets the credit for r/dressing bet ter than her sister who has charge account of unrestricted figures. ss s <. x, x N ! A A s'
