TRIBUTES TO LATE DITOR
 FROM MANY PARTS OF STATE
(The Rockville Leader.)


 Throughout the state, especially in newspaper circles, the death of John O'Neill, editor of the New Britain Herald" will cause, sincere sorrow. Our heartfelt coincidence to the Her ald' New Britain and to MT. O'Neilfs s family. For twenty-five years MT. O'Neill had been connected with the Herald" for the past ten years as editor He has done a vast amount of important and useful work and he invariably put into it the best there was in him. He was proud of the Herald" and New Britain and they have reason to be proud of him. A man of splendid human qualities. he was tireless worker, level-headed and big hearted, who fought manfully and heroically for the best things in life, true at all times to the highest interests of New Britain and the pro- motion of the public welfare, a cit izen who realized the responsibilities and fully met the obligations of citi- zenship. His passing with such startling suddenness and in the very prime of life is a distinct loss to Con- necticut journalism and the city or New Britain. New Britain and the Herald were dear to his heart. They knew and loved him and will long cherish his memory. Loyalty is the one word that most fittingly describes his career. He preached and prac- ticed it day in and day out from year to year. 1t is just such men as John O'Neill, living monuments of indus try, intelligence and inspiration, who lead community onward and up- ward. New Britain was better for his having lived in it and worked for 1t all these years. He has gone, but the work he has done will live on. New Britain cannot forget him.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.

There isn't anything more necessary

iceable and attractive evening cloak. II

so as not to crush the bodice beneatn
and it should be full in the skirts, so as
to accommodate the hoop skirts winch

The pattern illustrated is one of the
simplest for an evening wrap, and the
collar may be made like the pattern
or 1t may consist of big ruching OF
silk or tulle. or a boa collar of fur. Ii
is the fashion of the season to use fur
collars and cuffs, and this makes dress
making easy, as fur bands are easily
applied. The question is merely one OF
expense.
This pattern would be most service
able if made up in heavy brocaded rep
silk or bengaline or a heavy faille or
in any of the thick and attractive
weaves of silk, of which there are
many. 1t may be lined with lining silk,
which is fancy this year, or with satin,

Georgette's Picture Frock.

The gown sketched here is especially
for the debutante, and it's presentation
may solve an anxious problem for a
mother who wonders what is new and
what is good for the coming-out frock,
whether it is to serve for an afternoon
tea followed by a dance or theater
party, or some one else'S dance. There
are SO many kinds of affairs for
debutante, and she, of all the women
in society, must not wear the same
frock wherever she goes.
Georgetts has an exceedingly youth
full figure herself and is therefore espe-
cially happy in her treatment of young
clothes. She gets into them the spirit
of youth, possibly because she likes
the things that young people do and
can feel how they want to look.
The gown is built up of blue tat
feta skirt over which is full drapery
of tulle edged with a broad silver band.
1t acts like hoop because OF IT'S sun
ness, and holds the material out from
the ankles in a striking way. Here
and there it is caught down by small
stiff bows of blue silk.
The bodice is a quaint shape, without
any suggestion of formed figure be-
meath. its surface covered with large
silver flowers. The square decolletage
and the short sleeves with their fiounces
of white tulle are extremely modest
and are in contrast with some OF the
frocks that debutantes have worn. Blue
stockings and silver slippers are added.
Many Contrasting Bodices.
The fashion grows of making a
skirt of thin fabric and a bodice of
something thicker and quite different.
Brocade will be added to net, or velvet
to tulc or lace 1t is a good idea, for
it presents many possibilities to those
who look we'll in strong contrasts.

Watch Your Table Linen.

Good table linen, in the first place,
means much. But care of the same
linen means more. Especially in the
laundry must your table linen be prop
erly handled If you would have it
retain it's freshness.
Strong bleaches must never be used
on fine table linen. OF course, table
linen is often badly spotted and needs
to be cleaned in some way. But boil
ing water removes coffee spots. cold
SHINE removes many stains. When
stronger agents must be used they
should be applied and removed by in
telligent hands.
They should be allowed to remain
on the spots just long enough to eradi-
cate them, and then rinsed thoroughly
out with clear water. For If they re-
main on too long they remove not only
spots, but pieces of linen.
Some ld-fashioned housewives occa-
sionally have their table linen dipped
in buttermilk to whiten it. The linen
is allowed to remain in the buttermilk
for day or two, If necessary, and is
then thoroughly rinsed in cool, clear
water, later in warmer water,
For fruit stains, pour boiling water
through them while the stains are
udflp, IL pOSSl Dle IL tney dry on, rub
them with lard and put through the
usual washing process.
Always dry table linen out-of- doors,

little bleaching green.

when it is ironed, and it must be
ironed until it is perfectly dry. Nap

Two thicknesses of lambs wool is not

Broadcloth, velvet. velveteen or
