CITY YEAR BOOKS
 LIKE HENS' TEETH
Almost Impossible To Obtain Copy Of Munic pal Register None Can Tell Where
 They Are

Many complaints are registered daily at city hall because the supply of the municipal register is exhausted. It is claimed that 600 of the books were printed but tax payers who call daily at the office of the city auditor or the city clerk, are unable to obtain the volume, nor can any city official tell where the books have gone.
 The volume which contained a. rNc- ord of the doings of the past admin . istration was the most bulky book of it's kind ever printed by a municip- al government Of Brid 8eport- It will be remembered that the Republican administration held the book from the printer and the printer did not pro duce any copies until a day or two before election day Then when the newspapers took up the matter about 50 copies were forthcoming.
 Since then number of the books were delivered at the city hall but now it is claimed the edition is ex- hausted. Old tax payers who for years have kept track of municipal af- fairs by the information which the municipal registers contains have been told for the first time that they can not have a copy of the book. Hence the dissa tisfactfon.
 Neither the mayor, City Clerk Rob inson Or George Catlin, clerk of the Board of Contract and Supply, was able to say today whether more cop ies of the book would be printed to satisfy the demands of the tax pay CTS.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

A tongue for boiling is best fresh from the pickle.
 A dessert to be successful must be attractive to the eye.
 Never have potatoes, rice and hom- iny at the same meal.
 Frozen rice pudding is a delicious and nourishing winter dessert.
 Pearl tapioca makes a delicate and excellent thickening for soups
 Beans and peas are too much alike to be used at the same meal The light dessert should always fol- low a, heavy dinner, and vice versa.
 Don't use sooty pans and settles in cooking-they take longer to heat.
 Apple sauce should always be eat en to counterba1ance sausage and pork.
 The light desserts are the plain and stewed fruits, geIatine and junkets.
 Paste the owners initials over each towel used on a large family towel rack.
 Knives are cleaned more easily and thoroughly with soda added to the securing brick.
 The newest ome1et pan is in two parts, so that the omelet may be Hap- ped over and over.
 Prunes hidden in a meringue, the meringue Drowned in the oven, make a delicious dessert.
 Minced beets, potatoes and cucum- bers served with mayonnaise make Q good salad.
 For tired feet make a mixture of alcohol and lemon juice and rub on the feet and ankles.
 After scrubbing thoroughly, make a few slits in the skins of potatoes that are to be baked.
 A little borax, dissolved in warm water, will help to keep the cIildren's teeth clean and sound.
 Common soap, rubbed on the him ges of a creaking door, will do away with the trouble.
 Fasten a pincushion to the top of the sewing-machine arm and whole minutes will be saved.
 A hot-water platter is a boon to the housewife whose ''n1en folks are ire

quently late for dinner.
 The business mans lunch of a glass of milk and piece of apple pie is really a weH-chosen meal
 Add a pinch of borax to the rinsing water of handkerchiefs, if you would have them a little stiff.
 Baked apples are delicious with their cores filled with orange marma- Jade or chopped nuts and sugar.
 Rub the ends of the ribs of the um- brella with vaseline where they. are fastened. This prevents rust. : Irons will heat more quickly and stay hot longer if a cake tin or other cover is turned upside down over them.
 An ordinary piece of nnince pie is said to be the equal in food value to a piece of beef, a slice of bread and a potato.
 A faded carpet can be frightened and cleaned by rubbing with warm water and amm onia, with little bo- rax in it.
 The dessert that fails in it's appeal to the palate is a wasted attempt, for desserts are eaten for pleasure, not hunger.
 Some of the best cooks bake only the crust of tarts and fruit pies, put ting in the filling of cooked fruit when they are cold
 Wet the kitchen stove while cold with a cloth dipped in kerosene oil; then apply the backing. The stove will keep clean much longer.
 To make deViled crabs, season crab meat with cream, salt and cayenne; cover with breadcrumbs, place in shells and brown in the oven.
 Tomatoes with the skin removed and ho1lowed out, then filled with minced fish or chicken and a little mayonnaise, make delicious relish

masking came. All the guests and every one in attendance learned who was who.
 The Mask Ball of the
 City Is oft a Lure. She who has moved from the sleepy old farmhouse to the city reads of the mask ball which is to take place there with the greatest of de- light. She imagines that it would be a repetition of that joyous frol1c which she attended at home A group of her girl friends signif1ed their intention of going altogether.
 What their costumes were to be each guards as her own amusing se- cret. In the great crush of the dressing rooms, the girls cannot help becoming separated. The glare of the ballroom and the deafening crash of the music bewi1ders the girl who is unaccustomed to being alone and in such an unusual gathering.
 A spic-and-span dandy, with a gid ed mask, bows low before her. He asks her hand for the gay waltz just forming. He laughs in her face when she refuses timidly saying that she mark to a score of others who join in his hilarious amusement The country girl covers into a corner, heartily wishing that she could To- cate her Tr10nQS or was SaIe nome again. A strange young man who wears the garb of a sailor brings her a glass of very red lemonade, insist ing upon her taking it. He is thrust aside by a. woman who warns him to let the girl alone. She would have beaten a nasty retreat had not the doors been barred against intruders. At unmasling time. there was a1- most a riot of screams at the recog- nitions. Some of those who had the forms of sixteen-year old girls turned out to be hard-viSaged women. The dandy was pointed out to many as a pugflist. It was a mixed crowd that she wished she wasn't in. When the girls discovered each other they per suaded the doorkeeper to let them go home. They were wiser than when they came. They had learned a lesson that girls should never go to a promfscuous gathering of that kind. There are dangerous forms of amuse- ments. Girls cannot be too careful. of the company in which they mingIe

The sewers committee of the Com mon Council wants $2O, 900 to build new sewers in Bridgeport this year The committee will also ask the Board of Apportfonment and Taxation for $6,0O0 to build new sewer wells.

 When the committee goes before the Board of Apportionment and Taxa ton the members will call attention to this fact. The committee is anxi- ous that the Paving and Sewer Com mission shall act as soon as the win ter is passed and complete the sewers already voted

The very name mask ball spells TO- nance in the fervent imagination of most young girls. The maiden who Is brought up in the country town has recollection of a weird evening or rrolie, so delightful that she will nev- CT be able to forget it. Her memory conjures up a merry scene; for there notsine which sets a. village so agog as the announcement that there is to be a mask ball. Of course the young people for miles around know each other There's the chorus of ohs and ahs, and oh what wonderful lot of guessing as one grotesque figure after another stalks into the ball room in procession A mask covers every face. There is a puzzling uncertainty as to Eho the clown can be in the scream provoking bulging white suit, peeked cap and huge white neck ruche. There's a dainty circus rider, whc is Fall long of the mark being quite to her shoe tops. There's a fat lady In spangIes with a waist drawn tight ly into an eighteen inch belt.

 It is believed by the public that the real reason for the refusal is that the Duke does not want to be present at Christmas fetes with the Crown Prince. whom he has constantly refused to

BEAUTY CHATS
THOSE WRINKLES.
CBy Blanche Beacon.)


 Massage is always a good wrinkle destroyer, but you must be sure that you know how to use it. I hold that as many wrinkles afe made as are destroyed by careless massage. Here is a so-called wrinkle remedy, If you take your wrinkles while they are very small and fine it will help greatly On deep, old wrinkles it will have little effect.
 The Lotion.
 Tannin. thirty-six grains.
 Water, one ounce.
 Apply this at night, and wash off well in the morning. Remember while doing this to avoid dishguring grim aces and face contortions You can massage and apply lotions to the end
