- HERE is no doubt but that the
loyeliest and most fashionably
sowned women are seen at the
opera and horse show, which
oren almost simultaneously the
winter social season. As they
are functions to which the general pub
lie are admitted, the fashions displayed
influence the general trend of style in
this country Both events viii be espe-
cially interesting this year because Of
the divergent modes-futurist, minaret
and hustle puffs--wonderful materials and
the curious undressed style of gowning.
The opera is interesting in itself to music
lovers, but all the world stares admiringly
at pretty, elegantly gowned women. Be-
tween the acts one cannot complain of
any lack Of them, graceful, debonair,
stPtuesque, grave or gay; all types are
found in our cosmopolitan city, garbed in
priceless silks, furs and jewels.
Jewels are always an interesting feat
ure of opera gowning. Whether pearls
are real or the set that has been copied to-
preserve the originals, it is often impos-
sible to say. Diamonds so far have NOT
the preference in America that is given
to pearls, perhaps because nothing looks
so lovely against the flesh as do their
nacre tones. Diamonds are often worn
in combination with pearls, for Diamonds
and lace are Synonymous in fashionable
elegance Some of the latest designs in
evening jewelry are shown here-a long
and short pearl necklace worn in com
hination, and the flexible brooch to pin |
among the laces OF the corsage, of pearl
and diamonds, with little pendant ends |
that sway with every move of the wearer.
There is also the new Empire dinner
ring, that is something new and very at
tractive on the hand. The setting, very
high and wide, holding a single pearl or
uncut stone, is itself a raised beautiful
filigree of brilliants forming an interlaced
design. Rings with square settings have
a large emerald or ruby flatly set, sur
rounded with small diamonds. Flexible
bracelets, like the one pictured here,
made of strings of pearls caught by a
slide of diamonds, can be worn with the
evening gown, with or without a glove
Besides the long and short ropes of pearls,
sometimes a flexible pendant is worn in
combination with a string of pearls.
Hair ornaments come in for no small

these places would be so severe as to
prevent the wholesale barter of UNI
fortunate women.
All of these questions are of vital
interest to women in general. They
are questions which affect the home,
and the wife and mother has home
interests dearly TO heart. Men, good
men and true, are unable to cope
with these issues. They are so en-
crossed with the immense CONNER
cial questions that very little time or
thought may be given to home affairs.
1t is for women to step out into the
breach and by united effort stay the
growth of the twentieth century evils
which are fast sapping the founda-
tons of the home.
The most imperative need OF our
society today is a womankind that
shall feel its responsibility, handle
well its opportunities, be the inspira-
ton of husband and brother, the
guides OF growing youths, an element
of good counsel, civic wisdom and
moral strength in the community.
Let woman exercise that moral pow
er with which with God has invested
her. Let her be respected and honor
ed. Man and woman were never
meant to be competitors or rivals.
The author of life placed woman by
mans side and made her flesh OF his
flesh and bone of his bone. Man
and woman cannot be antagonistic
and prosper. Woman is not the lesser
man; she is the other half of human
ity. She is more than the ornament
of society; she is the light that leads
it to better things.
The elevation of woman means the
elevation of man. Let society be
blessed by her benign and gentle
sway and it will respond to the ap-
peal of truth, beauty and goodness.
Vice will fly from before her face and
passion cover beneath her glance.
She will preserve in the home the
sacred fire of religion, refinement and
culture. She will be the guardian
of purity and the trustee of innocent
childhood She will save man from
materialsm and the worship of the
yellow god. To its bosom each even
ing the home will gather the weary
breadwinner who will find rest from
his toll. consolation in his sorrow,
strength to battle with temptations,
courage in the midst Of disaster, and
companionship in the highest aspira-
tions of his soul"

THE VALUE oF EDUCATION.

The growing appreciation of the value of education is demonstrated most thoroughly throughout the coun- try, not alone by those who are per sonally to be benefited thereby but by. the employers of labor who recognize the fact that education makes men better for every branch of industrial life. whether it be the directors of the business, the mechanics or the labor CTS. For the attainment of that ob-
 Ject corporations are playing an inn
 portant part in aiding their employees
 to become better fitted for their work
 and the future, not by simply urging
 education, but by providing educatlDn- al bureaus to bring it about and reg ulating the work so that it can be ae- compfshed. The Illinois Central per u1its young men to attend high school
 every other day for four years. pay
 ing them for their work. and at the
 conclusion of the time they are pre-
 pared to enter college or draw mans
 pay at his trade. To the Se0 Japan
 csc employed on the Union Pacific railroad the bureau of that company is teaching English because those same section foremen and trackmen are better employees by having that education which helps them to get
 more.
 Such indicates the strides that are being made in education along the particular line of cooperative vocation al education and an impressive feature particularly of the high school work is that the opportunity is provided for still higher education, if the ads vantages obtained give the young man an ambition for college. In either case the opportunity has better fitted him for the future.

TUBERCULOSIS WORK.

Connecticut is thoroughly interested tn the magnificent work of eradicating the white plague, and how effectively the state is participating in it is in dfcated by the report of the state tu- berculosis commission. It was only a few years ago that little hope was held out for those afflicted with the dread disease. but the united assault upon it in accordance with the most advanced ideas has demonstrated far more optimistic outlook and much progress is being made in iarrest1ng it's grip upon the people. The state now has four sanatoria for the care of patients and the fact that three of them have received over 1900 patients in the past two years and of that num- Der 519 have been discharged with the disease arrested or their condition i'm proved, indicates not only the-need for the work which the institutions are do- ing, but the fact that they are doing it in way which shows good results and worthy the expense which it en- tails.
 Connecticut by it's progress in this line of work in behalf of humanity has placed it on a firm and substantial basis. Where it has carried it on in three institutions for the past two years a fourth, that in this city will next month be opened for an extension Of the humane efforts to this end of the state. Steady progress and enthus fasm is demonstrated by the connis- slons report, despite the severe loss in the death of Chairman Knight. NJ. D., and the great interest by the peo- pie of the state in the beneficial work continues unabated The best results are yet to come.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Playground Movement.

MT Editor: There is to be a lecture in the Wheeler school library hall next Thursday evening, Jan. 9, by Dr. Henry s. Curtis, former secretary of the Fairgrounds Association of Amer ica, also director of playgrounds in New York city, and I desire to get into touch with those interested in the Nor Wich movement and invite them to at tend this lecture and meet Dr. Curtis. The lecture will be free to the public, although it may be necessary to take a collection to help defray the ex- penses.
 I have written to the seer etary of the Summer Fairgrounds association, but thinking to make certain of getting into communication with those in Nor Wich who are active in this line of social service, I venture to write you. Will you be able to connect us?
 I would like to secure as large a hearing for Dr. Curtis as I can, for it is unusual for him to speak in such small places. It is possible that the workers in Norwich would like to con- suit Dr Curtis. If so I would do any thing I can to secure an appointment
 Thanking you in advance for any favor you may render in this import ant matter.

God and the King of Prussia.

+The king of Prussia" says his- torian. after seeing Othello, forbade Desdemona to be murdered for the future, and the catastrophe was altered accordingiy-'by his majesty's conn mand'"
 Wouldn't it be fine to be the king of Prussia? Then one could step into every eliminating tragedy and, by a simple order, change it to comedy.
 Where a married pair are verging toward divorce, one could just send them note forbidding them to con- tinue being selfish. jealous and way ward. and ordering them back to love and peace.
 By a wave of the royal sceptre all failures would be transformed into success, all heart breaks sunplanted by mirth, all weeping turned to laughter, all cruelty to mercy. all fraud to jus tice.
 All fond lovers would be married, all naughty children made good all silly girls made sensible. all foolish boys wise.
 There is an underlying conviction in most minds that thls is the way the Ruler of the World ouvht to act There is also irrefutabie proof that He does not act this way
 God is not like the king of Prussia. He Is not a God of happy endings, in any case; but only in one case, which Is where righteousness and peace shall kiss each other

CHIEF JUSTICE HAIL

When death stepped in to terminate e
 the services of Frederick B. Hall as chief justice of the supreme court of errors of Connecticut, it sent a shock throughout the entire state and cheat ed by a few months what would have resulted as the operation of the law, whereby Justice Hall upon reaching seventy would have completed his ju- dfcial service for the state. By his sudden death Connecticut has lost a prominent jurist, a judge who has served in its courts for thirty six years, a distinguished and Honorable citizen like whom as an example of personal effort in attaining his posi- ton at the head Of the highest court in the state there are all too few in- stances in these days.
 Chief Justice Hall rose to prominence from a newsboy and a moider and his career will stand as an inspiration for many today to select high ideals regardless of their position and irn- prove their opportunities to obtain them. His service to the state has been most faithful and tffauing and his ability has been recognized by the conference of degrees by both Brown and Yale. With half of hIs life srent on the bench he was a leader in his profession, gentleman and a seheiaF, whose end came long before he had reached the limit of his usefulness. His life was one of seryiee, te his eauHtFy, on the battlefield, and to his stats ia the ccurts cfs justice
