I've just been talking to Mrs. Dun bar,'' Mrs. Simmons told her husband, as she came from the telephone. Tt does beat all the way that woman loses things"
 Has she the habit?" Simmons ask ed idly. T should think she could tie things on herself some way"
 ''The first time 1 heard of it she had lost a ring" Mrs. Simmons went on. She had washed her hands some where and left the ring on the wash stand. That very day she lost her best handkerchief, and she felt rather depressed. Such double losses, I told her, were not apt to happen twice, but I failed to comfort her. She told me a few of the things she had lost in just the last few years. and they were too many to try to remember. Of course there were several umbrellas, four purses dozens of handkerchiefs, six hatins, books without number and all sorts of cuffpins and bracelets and things. She said she had long ago given up telling the family about it, as they thought the whole thing such a joke. I suppose that her husband was often a little provoked with her, too. It sounds so easy to keep from losing things
 "I fancy I'd be a little peeved my self" Simmons said. It's quite an expensive habit
 Fortunately, they don't mind the expense" Mrs. Simmons continued. "That isn't what worries her. She such a goose. Why, only the other day she lost her huff and to help her out I had to advertise for it, and give the reward and everything. so that her husband wouldn't know anything about it.
 'Deceiving creatures, you women"
 Well, yes, maybe, but what I was going to say was that she's just lost the very queerest thing yet. I thought they had already lost about everything that could possibly he lost, but it seems not.''
 What was it this time? A train?"
 Tt isn't unusual at all to lose a train" Mrs. Simmons scoffed- You've done it lots of times. You know the Dunbars have just come back from a family reunion in Denver, where they met for the holidays?"
 No, I didn't, but I know it now. I'll take your word for it..
 Well, they have. They had a very gay time with theater parties and sightseeing and visiting with a lot of people whom they hadn't met for long time. Mrs. Dunbar said they were really tired when they got on the train to come home. When they got here 1t was storming hard and the train was several hours late on account of snow or something. They took a taxi and went to bed as soon as they got home. MT. Dunbar didn't even buy a paper. He always buys his papers at. the stands, she says, and never has them delivered. He likes variety and distributes his patronage Well, the next morning he wanted an early start, because Saturday is only a half day, and he wanted to do a lot of things. The mail piles up so rap idly in a big office like that"
 Tt does in every office" Simmons declared feelingly. And the harder up you are the more automobile and piano ads you get"
 Mrs. Dunbar got up at about 5 o'clock" Mrs. Simmons went on. "Of course the maid hadn't come back,

It is an interesting comment upon the situation that in every city where the federal law has begun to pinch there has been evidenced the most whole-souled desire on the part of the authorities to meet the emergency in a charitable way. Drug fiends are treated as diseased men and women rather than criminals. There is every disposition to help, rather than hinder them. After a sufficient time has elapsed for the body and mind to re- cuperate, there will be evidenced an improvement in society. -Merideu Record.

Lunch rooms in New Haven have been examined by the local board of health and the examination resulted in rating for cleanliness, sanitation, ven tilation, etc. The newspapers have printed the examination marks, from which it appears that New Haveners eat without discrimination in restau- rants which can score ninety four to ninety mine and others which rank as lok as forty per cent, of perfec- tion. New Haven is widely interested in the exhibit and the lunch room owners are deeply excited. - Water bury Republican.

As they passed by one said to the other q have been in a good many places but this in the dirtiest town I ever struck" How about our coat of arms the Rose of New England? But never mind there is one consolation the aforesaid city officials have to breath the same air and swallow just as much of what is left after the sparrows get what they want as we do, and I suppose this is what they figure will help reduce the high cost of living.

Let us endeavor to encourage our youth to get all the education possi- ble, not discourage them and the pro- prosed legislation of Mr. Fox and MT. Cheney would certainly discourage High School education. What we need is a better educated citizen ship. That has been the foundation stone on which New England has stood from the very beginning and we look with great disfavor on the at tempt of MT. Fox to turn the wheels of progress backward. We are sur prised that members of the State Board of Education should for an in- stant countenance a legislation which is of the character of this proposed by MT. Fox.-Bristol Press.

The lesson of Waterbury's treatment by the Legislature-not this year es- pecially, but every year-is the need of selecting the right men and keep ing them. If Waterbury were repre- scented year after year by the same men, with gift for legislative serv- ice, the city might easily lead in both House and Senate, and have that influence which only experience, join ed with character and ability, can command. As it is, we don't amount to anything because we send men who don't amount to anything in the first place, or who don't stay long enough to amount to anything in the need. - Waterbury American.

There are two sides to the proposed plan to have policemen on their beats visit the carbarets in Bridgeport or other saloons where women are likely to congregate. The plan calls for periodical visits by the officers. Some cities take just the other view of such matters, forbidding officers to go into saloons without special permission, or on extraordinary occasions. It is doubtful whether periodic visits to sa- looms by patrolmen would produce any good results, and they might cause much trouble. There is a deal of merit in the plan which leaves the matter to the discretion of the police man, holding him responsible for the good order of saloons on his beat, but not ordering or encouraging him to make them his frequent place. - Bridgeport Telegram.
