REAL ROOF GARDENS.
The Kind They Plant on Log Cabins
 In Rural Norway.

The log cabins of rural Norway are built of heavy pine logs hewed square and of equal size from end 'o end They are usually stained or oiled, and their rich yellowish or brownish color Is in harmony with almost any sur roun1ings Their roofs are sodded, a circumstance that adds pictures4ueness to the general effect.
 "I have come across roofs that were riot of wild pansies, says writer in the Craftsman. ''and have seen wonderful roofs where Wild roses hung over the caves or daisy roof, the CT feet of whose white. starlike flowers. topping the dark brown sttuctlre, was pxquisitely picturesque.
 Some roofs produce only pasture grass. and the story runs in Norwegian folklore that lazy man led his cow OH the roof = the cabin was built against a hill-instead of taking her to the pas ture. have no doubt that the story Is true for l have often seen q couple of white kidlets gambOling on the soft green hOusetops while the mother goat. grave and rnminative. was tethered to the chimney.
 Sod roofs are just as water tight as others If they are laid correctly A board roof is first laid upon q honse. and this is covered with layer of birch bark. On top of this comes a layer of sod with The grass turned dowr to the roof. then d rather thick layer of earth and finally another layer Of sod. this time with the grass mp The result Is most exquisite and poetical covering for the house."

 From garden party garments to

 from any toilette. the underwear
 .ouet be so carefully considered that
 :, ;s in reality quite as important as tho gowns themselves. There has neen more or less complaint for some .;me past over the difficulty of ob- taaing petticoats adapted to fashion able gowns. The latest arrivals of rronch underwear show skirts of sof: fine lingerie material that are a trifle less than two yards in width. They are six gored, fitting smoothly over the hips and each gore forms shall low scallop at the lower edge. These scallops are embroidered in smal. scallops and ma little spray of leaves of some other simple design neach scallop. Since this is the season of much leisure and of many hours spent upon the piazza, the hint as to the embroidery seems especially timely. The work is dainty and, by no means, over -exacting. Clever wom- en know that a bit of needle work besides providing employment for the pauses in the morning gossip gives a fascinating feminine touch to the picture that the piazza presents and the embroidery bags afford limitless opportunity for beautiful bits of color in the silk from which they are made.

IINTRO1 1UCED BLACK HAND METHODS
Charge Made by Charlie Eets Against Two Fellow Country men-Razors Found Them When Arrested Came from Italy About Three Weeks Ago-Had Clothes Packed Ready to Leave When Police Arrived

l Visibiy excited and volubIy express sive, Charlie Eets, who lives at No. 1V2 Talman street came to police headquarters on Sunday evening about l0,15 o'clock with his wife and his small son about 10 years old, the boy serving as interpreter in the story that Mr. Bets and his wife told of an attempted assault on them which they could only explain by saying that it
 was 'Blacka hand"

Bets knew only as Pete and Salvatore and who worked with hlm on the same job at the Norwich state hospital for a Norwich contrac- tor, had come to the house and in a threatening way invited him to put on his shoes and come outside Mrs. Bets refused to let her husband go out but ne managed to push the two intruders out through the door and shut 1t against them. The noise had attracted others in the neighborhood and they came to see what was the matter. soaring off the two who had made the trouble, who ran when they saw peo- pie coming. One of those to arrive was Angelo Terrace. who told the Bets family that he saw razor flashing in the hands of one of the men
 Satisfied that there was a breach of the peace, Captain Twomey obtained warrants from Prosecuting Attorney John D.

OWLS MADE FLIGHT
 TO THE DRAWBRIDGE
There Enjoyed Their Best Outing on
 Record-The Features.

|
 Down at Poquetanuck drawbridge on i Sunday the Owls that fly from Nor l wich nest-125 of them with their ] friends-had the best kind of a bake for their third annual outing, one that sets new record and high one in aIfalrs astronomical. To prove it, 1 this is the sum and substance of the bake that was opened at 3.30-frank k. Watson and George Park were the openers. while John Walz presided at the fountain: Bluefish, sliced cucum- bers and tomatoes, boiled pork saul | sages, clam fritters, Tor clams with drawn butter, chicken lobsters, white and sweet potatoes, steamed onions, corn on the cob, white and brown bread and watermelon. And this was preceded by a luncheon at 12.30 when clam chowder and pilot bread and cu- eumber pickles were set forth by the chefs to subdue unruly appetites. But the board was cleaned each time up and everyone came back to the city well fed and therefore happy.
 But there were other features of the day besides the eats" Introducing the subject of baseball Married Men against Single. The greater experi- enee of the former gentlemen told and the score after an uncertain number of feyerfsh innings favored the men who have taken the leap. Il to f.

SUMMER OVER.
Season Has Been Ideal fer Those on
 Outings and Pleasure Bent.

The summer came to a close on Sunday Not according to the way the calendar is split up, of course, but that is purely empirical, anyway, and the men who handle the big crowds of summer travellers say that the season is over, And then the first day of the county fair is always the beginning of fall to great man. A county fair and fall and harvest time are synonomous,
 It has been wonderful summer, after all In point of weather, the farmers have a right to kick. but they are alone in the field. For two months and more there hasn't been a Sunday that hasn't been bright and sunshiny just made for pleasure travelling say trolleying or automobiling or sailing. And so mankind in general the agri- culturists excepted, have given thanks for fair winds and pleasant weather and from the biggest hotel keeper to the hunblest peanut vender all who have had a chance at the money that the prodigal American public brings on his holiday iourneyings have smiled and smiled and close the season happy.
 The trolley business here is a good example of what summer weather means. On a fair day like Sunday the company had 13 extras out. making with the Is regulars 31 cars to carry the crowds. It has been the same way all summer from the middle of June, but Sunday was the last day. After the fair there will be rest for the men who work hardest on the day of no toll. The river boats carried big crowds on Sunday and the crowd from the Block Island lined the streets at quarter before s. But a week or so more will end the boating season and there'H be nipping frosts every morn ing and people will begin to look up the Thanksgiving turkey and get ready for Christmas shopping on the do 1t carly pfan
