FTER al uncomfortable week or SO In a tiny room. with fare

I7I If she wouldn't have been better off II she had stayed at home. AS
L \ she enters again Ter comfortable room where everything Is just -
n wants it, as she sits down to the home table, where the things she
likes, cooked as she likes, are served, she often thinks she a foolish to
g o off endure discomfort and pay a high price fol- 1t under the delusion
that she as having a good time.
To be sure, ever If is nt SO comfortable as at home, there re
certain benefits to be reaped from a vacation away from home. But there
arr likewise decided benefits to be gained from a vacation at home, II
taken in the right way.
The trouble with the home vacation is that We seldom take IT In h
right way. ~s-
feverishIy to fashion some dainty neckwear, make a shirtwaist or two,
trim a hat. Perhaps she turnsi n and hxes Ter 20 all over. because she
never ar find time to do 1t while h is going to business. She gets nw
curtains, makes cushion covers, embroiders a scarf for her bureau
otherwise works harder than she did at her desk. For all such work
is harder work because she is unused to ut
And as a result, she goes back to business far or or out than
she al when she left.
II a woman decides to take her vacation al home. she should vary her
usual manner OF living Just as much a possible. She shouldn't rush
around feverhshly doing everything possible. She should make up her
mind t. get all the good possible ut VI the home vacation, n the way OF q
comfortable DON and the food she likes and in addition to loaf M rest
and idle all she can.
She should not get up in the morning until late. She should sleep

and it can be planned, let her have her breakfast in her W room. The
one pen O. a trip away from home a be used to pay for these
additional comforts at home. OF course, II her mother is doing the work,
mr. this near extra work for her mother, then she should forego this
luxury. But If there is a maid. and by a little extra payment she cal
ecur this extras service, 1t Is worth 1t.
Then she should do the things she likes to do,-read, practice, walk,
take trolley rides. If she enjoys 1uNt lounging around the house, chatting
with the home folks, let her do this. But she shouldn't NOPE about dis
contentedly wishing she had something to do Neither should she turf in
and make her winter wardrobe or cleanh house TO fall.
If a woman will make the home vacation, a vacation, she will get as
much benefit from it, If not more,a as h will from asty at some resort
But when one takes a vacation at home, the temptation Is to work, to do
all the odds and ends that have been accommodating or months past. And
this is often the reason the home vacation does not pan out in the matter
of rest and recreation as vas expected. There is nothing wrong with the
home vacation, II it is made a slmonpure vacation.

ELBOW OR LONG SLEEVES. WITH
SHAPED OR STRAIGHT FRONT EDGE.
The pretty, smart, p~lain~blouse is al
ways in demand and this one includes
certain new features that are of especial
interest. The curved front that is Tapped
over to suggest the envelope idea Is ex-
ceedingly smart and the peculiar shaping
of the neck is new and distinctive. In the
small view are shown the new long sleeves,
close fitting and finished with the open
ines edged with frills. For the coming
season, these are in every way to be COM
mended but for the remaining weeks OF
warm weather, the shorter sleeves will be
found more comfortable. The finish of
lace frilIs on the neck and sleeves is fash
ionable and dainty, but here again is
opportunity for variety, for collar and
cuffs can be used in their stead. There
are front and back portions and the one
piece sleeves are stitched to the arm
holes. The blouse is closed at the front
but the chemisette is adjusted under it
and closed at the back. When the collar
and cuffs are used, they are joined to the
neck and sleeve edges and for the straight
front edge, the shaped portion is cut of.
For the medium size, the blouse will

 "Every community, wherever possible, should OWN ITS OWN WATER WORKS. Hartfords water works system has always been well managed. The temporary political squabbe has nothing possibility of it's being well managed in the future The board not make it rain when it does not rain.''
 Here is sound sense from a sense business Former Senator Bulkeley can't quite the business advantage of parting with splendid water works that is worth millions all owned by the citizens of Hartford and which has been built up low
 Other business of Hartford took the view. H. w. Stevens president of the Hartford National Bank said, There is in slurring ourselves by selng'
 ExMayor Dwight said ''The city had better control it's own water plant.''
 Ex-Mayor Henney said: will mistake to sell out to private enterprise for Hartford still able to it's water works capably and judiciously.''
 It would indeed be mistake. It is much better to have those millions splendid water works public erty than private property.
 In Bridgeport the water works has made millions but for persons not for the citizens of Bridgeport And enrich private persons the citizens of Bridgeport paid hundreds of thousands MORE for water than the citizens of Hartford have.

VINCENT RENAMED

Prominent Bull Moose Retains Position, When Four Mem

Samuel E.. Vincent Bull Moose can-

 by Mayor c B. Wilson. MT. Vim

 stands on strict party lines: Demo- crats, 6; Republicans, 5; Progressive, 1.
 It is improbable that ever an oc- casion will arise when such a division
 would occur. Mayor Wilson, in ap- pointing MT. Vincent for a second
 term, said he did so because of Mir.
 Vincent's excellent service to the board.
 The appointment of MT. Vincent to succeed himself came as a big sur prise A few weeks ago, neither May or Wilson any of the Republican
 powers enthusiastic over MT. Vim cents service to the board That he
 would be dropped seemed a certainty. It is understood that the Mayor and MT. Vincent had a conference recently at which the latter said he would ac- cept a reappoin tment but would make ID strenuo efforts to retain his place. His reappointme followed. With MT.

AUTO FOOT THE LATEST.
Too Little Walking is Developing a New Ailment, Says St. Louis
 Doctor.

St. Louis,Dec. 27.-The automobile foot" has developed here. The cause is the opposite of that of the police mans flat foot, which is caused by too much walking. The cause of the automobile foot is too little walking. But the effect is the same. Like the policeman's ailment lately described and discussed by specialists, 1t causes pains which may be mistaken for those of rheumatism.
 pr. Alexander Block, who is a foot specialist, told a reporter that the motor car is playing havoc with the human foot.
 when one becomes the owner of an automobile" he said, "the infatua- ton for it is so great that the auto1st does not walk enough to support the natural weight of the body. Then, through lack of exercise, surplus weight of the body is taken on, and this extra weight increases, while the strength of the foot decreases"

 Some are forgotten. Others never were discovered.
 A man tucks a letter away in a pigeon hole as soon as it is read, but he permits telegram to lie conspicu- ously on his desk.
 Henry. watterson has called atten- unlock a nightlatch with corkscrew. And there is also reasonable assurance for the assertion that one cannot shave himself with 3, stepladder.
 Now that discussion of the matter practically has ceased, what was the objection to the practice of the man who parted his hair in the middle?
 Inquiry has been made for the old- fashioned man who made a fly blis- ter do the work of an undershirt.
 Eph Wiley doubts that men lived longer in biblical times. Eph says it only seemed longer.

 Every time a newspaperman makes a shoe one of his friends puts 1t on and the friendship is broken.
 There is some curiosity as to when Horace Fletcher, who chews every mouthful of food 180 times, finds op- portunity to shave himself.

this shrine will be the scene of an in ternationa1 gathering to honor the man whose discoveries have been of such tremendous value to science and industry. John D. Rockefeller con tributed $11,OOO to the Pasteur fund. in the Grand Army of the first Ma poleon. He was twenty-five when the empire collapsed, when he re- tired to his native town of Dole and set up business as a tanner. In the most modest little home of the tanner Louis Pasteur was born. For many years after graduating from Ecole Nornale in 1847, Pasteur labored as 8 teacher. He first attracted inter national attention in 1861, when he was awarded the Jecker prize for bis work in molecular chemistry. His first independent Investigations, re- sulting in noteworthy discoveries, were in the chemistry of fermentation. He found the cause of certain deteriora- tions in wine, and provided a rem edy. Next he ascertained the cause and cure of the diseases that afflict the silk-worn.
 His greatest popular fame rests on his discovery that the cause of the dread diseasa hydrophobia, is a mi crobe in the 'nerve-centers, and that it's prevention and cure, in the early stages. may be effected by the em- ploynent of an attenuated or 'tcul- tured'' form of the same microbe In 1888 he established the Pasteur Institute for the treatment of rabies in Paris, and two years later a sirni- lar hospital was opened in New York. These institutions have been the means of saving thousands of lives. In 1874 Pasteur was given a life pen sion of 5000 francs by the French government. He died in 1895.
 An appropriate inscription for the Pasteur Memorial at Dole would be this tribute of the immortal Pasteur to his beloved parents:
 "Oh! father and mother! My below ed departed, who lived so modest1y in this little house, it is to you that I owe everything! Your enthusiasm, my brave mother, you impressed up- on me. If I have ever and always associated the greatness of science with the greatness of my country it is because was irnpregnated with sentiments inspired by you. And you, dear father, whose life was as hard as your own hard occupation, you showed me what patience in long eff forts can achieve. It is to you I owe my tenacity in daily work
