For johnny,

Mrs. Briggs is SO good looking that
Mr.. Briggs seldom finds it in his heart
to be angry with her, but he was really
cross when she returned from Florida
Il understand" he said, that you
passed yourself of as a widow while
you were away. How about it?"
She admitted it
You ought to be ashamed of your

A pretty fancy which is more than
Of the hour consists in grouping flow
ers according to color. We have
found that the best effect is obtained
by massing flowers of q certain kind.
Likewise the unity of color gives
an effect which is most pleasing, and
with care and selection one may have
a constant succession of any desired
color from early spring until late in
fall.
The scheme appeals with special
force to the suburban home, where
the flower garden is never cramped-
or at least should not be. Try and
arrange the flowers so that the screen
that divides the front yard from the
back be on one side pink and the
other white.
If the garden is bordered with flow
ers a massing of blue or yellow in
one corner and red in another will
completely change the appearance of

Right Patterns for War Garments.

All those in Norwich who are naalx- ing garments for use in the great war want to be perfectly sure that the pat terms used are absolutely correct. They should be carefully criticised by an expert. In Philadelphia some practical workers found that the patterns sup piled for surgical skirts was wrong;
 arm sizes and hand openings being too small for service and the neck shape inconvenient. They took it to noted surgeon and he said that the garments they had been making would probably be cut up for washcloths. There is neither time nor opportunity in hospital for alterations. He said that he served in the Spanish war and that much perfectly good material was entirely wasted, owing to such crudi- ties in patterns. Even the Red Cross patterns are not always correct. But

GAVE SPECIAL ATTENTION
 TO VOTING MACHINES.
Machinists Boon and Colt Also Thor. oughIy Instructed All the Officials.


 One of the satisfactory things about the election of Tuesday was the way the voting machines worked and the facility with which those on duty at the polls performed their duties.
 The two custodians of the machines. Ashley T. Boon and s. Jeffrey Colt, paid particular attention to seeing that the machines were all in shape and that everybody who was to work with them knew just exactly what the duties of their positions were. All the ma chine tenders were given instruction on the Friday evening before election and the six moderators had a special session of instruction on Saturday evening.
 The machinists were up early on election morning and made a trip around to all the election districts in an automobile to see that all the ma chimes were. opened right. The result of all this foresight was seen on cleo ton day. when the machines were handled in all the districts without a hitch.
 All the ten machines that the town owns have now been stored away in waiting for the next time they are used In all but the West Side dis- tr1ct they are stored at the places that were used as polling places. Since the west Side fire station had to be used In the Second district, the machines were taken out on election night as soon as possible after the polls were closed. They were then brought over to the town hall building, where they are stored in the corridor near the en- trance to the police court. The spare machine that the town owns is also here, while the three machines that are used in the First district are kept permanently in the town hall.
