ROYAL ARCANUM AFFAIRS
 NOT so DESPERATE
Supreme Representatives Report Is of
 An Encouraging Nature.

From the following extract from the report of the supreme representatives the situation in the the Royal Area mum, it seems, is not nearly so des- previously printed report of the in surance commissioners of Massachu setts and Connecticut:
 There were initiated and reinstated during 1912, 16,1Ss members, New members admitted between ages of IS April 20, 1918, 212S. During 1912 there were 3.650 deaths and 11,l1S sus- pensions. Total amount charged against benefit certificates from 1905 to Dec, 31, 1912, S4,14A6S6-56. Average age of mem bers admitted in 1912, 2s.s years, Average age of present entire membership, 1851 years. Under the provisions of the Mobile bill, which has already been adopted by 16 states of the union, is requirement that such states shall call for a valuation of the certificates providing for death ben efits being in force December 31st last preceding In pursuance of these re- quirements, our actuary, ". F. Bar nard, of Syracuse, N. Y., has completed his valuation of cur certificates, and presented same to the Massachusetts insurance department. which has yer flied it by comparison with its own valuation independently made Such solvency is shown to be SS.26 per cent As the highest percentage of solvency contemplated for fraternal societies by the Mobile law, is 90 per cent, it is thus highly gratifying to note the very close proximity to the maximum the Royal Arcanum benefit certificates show. There is much in this to feel ustly pjroud of

HENRY c. ZIMMERMAN
Gardener for Mrs. Ripley Was Last Seen in Waterford Headed for East Lyme.

Henry c. Zimmerman, gardener for Mrs. Hannah L. Ripley at her home, No. TIT Broadway, has been missing from this city since Sunday afternoon and when last seen was in Waterford headed for East Lyme. That was early on Monday and since then the departed gardener has not been seen, although the Norwich police have notified the New London authorities, and people who know MT. Zimmerman have aided in the search.
 On Sunday MT. Zimmerman, who is man over 50 years of age, called on friends on Asylum street in this city and soon after noon left, ostensibly to return to his home on Broadway. But he did not return, and nothing was heard from him, and his wife became much worried and the police were notf- fled of his disappearance. He had had the custom of going to Waterford to the home of William Wright, by whose father MT. Zimmerman had been brought home on his farm. MT. Wright told Captain Twomey, who was acting as chief Tuesday, owing to the indis- position of Chief Linton, that a man had come to the old Wright homestead, which is next to Mir. Wright'S home and is now occupied by the Stewart family and had been found there in a shed by one of the family. It was at that homestead that Mir. Zimmerman had been brought up by Mir. Wright's father. He was directed to the home of MT. Wright, but he did not go there Monday morning as MT, Wright was getting ready to go out to do his milk ing he saw a man standing in the yard but when he got outside this person had walked up the road and was striking out in the direction of East Lyme The man answered to the de- scription of MT. Zimmerman, although Mir. Wright did not get close enough to him to speak to him.
 MT. Wright was going to drive to Black Point on Tuesday on business. and along the ten miles of this trip he told Captain TWomey that he would inquire after Mir. Zimmerman. No news was received by the police Tues day night and it is taken that MT. Wrights efforts were unsuccessful.
 It is believed that MT. Zimmerman may be somewhat demented. as he has at various times of late shown signs of mental disturbance. and this may account for his strange departure His wife and other relatives and friends are apprehensiye for his welfare. He is a short stout man, about five feet nine inches in height, has mixed gray hair and a small grayish moustache. He wore a derby when he went away, but as to the rest of his clothing his people are uncertain.

ARRANGING REAL REST ROOM
Apartment That VIII BE Appreciated
at All Times by the Women
Of the Household.

There are many women who go
through life without a dressing use,
but there are few who do not long for
one. And even when the limited space
of a house makes it impossible for the
women of the household to have indi-
vidual boudoirs, there is often one
upstairs room which could be made
into a sitting room or dressing room
for their collective use.
1t could be supplied with a comfort
able couch, where breakfast or other
meals could be taken by any one tired
or i'll, with comfortable chairs for
lounging and resting, with good light
and a book shelf for magazines and
books, with a writing table or desk,
with a we'll stocked work table, a
sewing machine, if it is to be used
also as a sewing room, and a pier
glass
1t could hardly be equipped with a
row of dressing tables, one for each
daughter or cousin or aunt or moth
er, who used it, as these would make
it crowded, so the actual dressing
would still have to be done in bed
rooms. But it would prove a haven
where it's collective owners could go
for help and advice, to see whether
their dresses were on as they should
be, to get hooked up" to rest and
read and get away from the tedious
ness of the bedroom when illness kept
them upstairs.

SUMMER HAT MADE AT HOME
Crownless Design of Net Probably Is
the Best for Amateur MiIIiner
TO Attempt.

1t is amazing how many amateur
milliners have sprung up since the
new kind Of hat came into being.
There are women, many Of them, who
do not mind paying a good price for
winter hat or a winter suit, but they
draw the line at a fancy price for a
summer hat or a summer gown.
They know the possibilities of the
sun for bleaching out any color and
they know how the open air life they
lead takes all the character out Of
frock- So they prefer to divide the
money into many parts and make it
buy many things. and therefore the
chance of making hats at home has a
strong appeal.
1t all looks very easy, and the wom-
an who has skill and clever idea Of
line and color may be able to accom-
pIish much, but a word of warning
should be said to those who are not
sure Of themselves in the field of mil
linery. A homemade hat is often
worse than a homemade gown, and
the best of the latter is often spoiled
by the former. The crownless hat
of net is the best to attempt, as ii
is made startlingly like a neck ruff
and held to the head with a band of
ribbon.
There are women, you know, who
boast that they have worn their tulle
neck ruffs instead of hats. with a
rose at the back and the looped up
hair in the middleton the hat is
crownless-and their public admired
and said: Chow very becoming"
