REPORT
of the annual Business meeting
of The Dana College and
Trinity Seminary Alumni
Association

The Alumni held its annual
meeting at Dana College, on the
2Sth day af May, 1915, at 2 o.
clock P. NJ. Sherman Bondo, the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-01-25

NEARLY every one knows the but
 tonhoIe stitch used for scailoping but for those who do nof learning is easy. F,asten the thread on the under side and bring the needle out at the lower edge of the scal1op. Hold the thread under the tllii alrn Of che left hand. insert the needle in ths. upper edge Of the sc4IIop and bring it out at the low CT within the thread. draw up evenly to form 2 purls hold down the thread again, put your needle in at the top. and bring out within the thread close to the first stitch and draw up evenly. as before
 That is all there is to scaIloping. The chief 9things to watch are to have the stitch directions even and the line at top and bottom as regular as possible To make your scaIfop wear better you may work g second purl through the pl1rl Of the first after the scafIops are cut out If your cover must be laun- sdered this should be done before cut ting the scallop.
 For a pincushion top buy one Of the oblong, square or round satin cov-l cred cushions that cost about 25 cents If you like 3 friIly cushion measure twice the circI1Tnferen of the cushion sew the lace in a tiny seam <or but tonhofe the edges together. Turn down the top into marrow easing and run through it elastic or baby ribbon.
 The tap detachable, made of pique. cut big enough to fan over the lace about an inch. Work the edge

HOW TO- KEEP YOUR NECK
 SLENDER

TOO much desh on the& neck is per-
 haps one of the greatest obstacles to beauty which any woman can pos sess. It is almost as bad in appearance as a scrawny throat and is much more difficult to remedy It is q far simpler thing to put flesh on wornanss throat than to take it off, for if the tis- sues are fed with a. good grease, such as cocoa butter the neck will soon be-" gin to take on flesh
 { On the other hand, only exercise of the most vigorous sort will reduce the size of the throat. For d tendency to dou-a bIe chin and to tighten the muscles which have become loosened in a fab. by neck try this simple but ef1cacious exercise: Throw the head back as far. as it will go, drawing the muscles taut Now turn the head slowly as far to the right as it will go, then as far to the left Repeat to the number of ten times, increasing as you become accus- toned to the strain
 Bathing the neck frequently. with a piece of ice, is excellent for keeping the flesh firm and for removing habbiness.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-01-25
THINGS YOU WILL LIKE
KNOW.

PICKLEs will never become moldy if
 you put a tiny bag of, mustard in the top of the receptacle in which they are kept.
 If your silk dress looks rusty you can revive 1t by sponging it with water in which potatoes have been boiled.
 Mice can be most successfully ex- terminated if you stuff all their holes with piece of rag which has been dip ped in water and then in cayenne pep per.
 A very quick way to cool a hot liquid is to pass it through clean cloth satu-= rated with cold water. and if the liquid is soup no trace of grease will remain.
 If you lay your silver away in com. mon four it will remain bright for some time.
 You can warm over meat much more quickly if you wrap it in greased pa per. The steam will prevent the meat from becoming hard and dry.
 Precipitation stains can be removed from a thin shirt waist by soaking it in cold water to which you have added a little sodium bicarbonate before it has been washed.

FOR THE FRIEND
 WHO PLAYS BRIDGE.

RI IF you want to make a pretty birth
 day gift for the friend who enter tains often why not supply her with half a dozen linen covers for her bridge tables Most hoStesses now own, two or three of the low, folding card tables which may be brought out when an in formal afternoon or evening of bridge is planned, and these tables are almost invariably covered with freshly 1aun- dered cloths of one sort or another. since the green felt which covers the table top is apt to soil daintily mani cured finger tips, and many people dis like to play cards on a polished table top.
 Some of the card table covers one sees are quite elaborate with hem stitched edges and a monogram or in 1tia1s embroidered in one corner. 9th CTS are perfectly plain with a narrow hem at the edge. The beauty of such a cover. Of course, is it's freshness and crispness It must be laundered with a little starch and ironed gIossi1y smooth and when ironed should not be folded. but. rather, rolled around a broonstick or a rolled up newspaper.
 Heavy Irish linen makes excellent covers Of this sort. Natural linen or brown Holland linen is liked by some card players better than white linen, which is perhaps more trying to the eyes when starched and ironed smooth ly. One hostess the scribe knows of has card table covers of green linen which are very attractive and which harmonize with her green toned room Cut the cover so that when hemmed it will extend about two inches beyond the table top all around and sew four tapes to it. one at the center of each side. These tapes are tied or fastened together under the table to hold the cover smoothly in place A linen case to hold the covers will also be an ac- ceptab1e gift. This should be made of a large square of linen. attached along one side to a long mailing tube of card board. In the case the starched and ironed covers may be rolled smoothly, and fastener will hold the rolled up case neatly.

NEW YORK RESTAURANTS.

IT LUNCHEON and tea hours In the res
 taurants are almost as gay as the evening session, but whereas all the restaurants are busy and brilliant from $ o'clock on only few favored ones enjoy popularity at luncheon and tea time This favor shifts from season to to season. and the tea place you found so gay on your last visit to New York may be as dull ana quiet as a country railroad station between trains when you stroll in this year. New Workers go where the crowd goes. and fancy Is hclle in restaurants as in rything else. To see New York at tea in the restaurants one must know the ropes" and go to the right places-where dancing is the feature or where the English custom of permitting women their cigarettes after the cup Of tea is followed.
 Brown and dark green seem to be the favored restaurant colors, and with both of these shades bIouses of the fashionable sand color predominate. This sand shade Is a very pale tan, somewhat the tint of natural or un- bleached silk, and natural silk stock ings are having great vogue.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-01-25

Cravatted styles Tor wear with the severe new shirts are in vogue. as well as the lingerie topped velvet or silk made choker effects.
 The ascot which offers white neck band with a colored tie for foIding. is a warmly welcomed vogue
 Striped silks and satins are in the very heyday of voguish supremacy.
 These charming waists tone beauti- fully for wear with the neutral tinted taiHeur of cloth.
 These striped silks as well as the novelty effects. figure very largely as modish touches for blouses of lace and chiffon made along rather severely cut lines.
 They are selected for the modelling of collars and cuffs for these waists lending touch of supreme elegance and tonaI beauty to these otherwise rather fragile appearing blouses.
 In odd contradiction, blouses Of crepe de chine satin, corduroy or crape are made with trimmings of white pique.
 Of course the dark co7ored silk or flannel, which is accompanied by collar and cuffs of the newer lingerie types is extremely modish-

 of the season was haunted with ru- mers of scarcity of our richest fabric. velvet. garments of it are becoming plentiful and there is apparently no dearth Of the material as yet upon the good quality of velveteen cannot be distinguished from the genuine silk velvet, and much of the latter fabric is consequently used.
 Especially is velvet being used for afternoon wear in both froclzs and street suits For this purpose it is to be found in various dark rich shades, brown. blue. green and black predoni- hating. There is a tendency toward light shades of sand and putty.
 The wider the skirt the greater the. weight of material suspended from the hfpss and so it is that while an 9oeca-= sfonaI extreme model of velvet is to be found with a four yard skirt the. con- servative width in velvet does not ex- Eceed two and quarter yards. Eyen the frocks and suit skirts of circular cut frequently do not exceed this width The narrow models are prac- tica.ble for street wear.
 Transparent sleeves in afternoon frocks of velvet are also exceedingly practicable for house wear and for the three piece suit A former objection to the entire velvet froek was the heat of the heavy bodice Tor house wear put the transparent sleeves obviate this discomfort.
 Velvet boleros are appearing on the one piece frocx and suggest the short. ened waist line, which is gradually coming again into favor and is so be- coming to the majority of figures.
 No richer fabric has the world ever known than velvet, not even the weighty metal cloths embroidered in genuine gold in the splendid days. nor has there appeared one more becoming to fair faces, old and young.
 The typical afternoon restaurant cos- tune for the late winter is velvet tailleur trimmed with fur and with skirt cut very short to reveal smart buttoned boots with tops of light cloth. The headgear may be a. tiny polo tur- ban perched on one side and worn with a nose veil or huge velvet sailor with stifHy outstanding brim. The alternate of this costume is a fur trimmed frock worn under a seal coat or snaart1y cut coat of fabric trimmed with fur. These afternoon dancing frocks are of pussy willow silk, nocturn or goldenrod satin or of poplin or the charming worsted and mohair mixtures which are much liked for the new ripple effects.

BECAUSE OF
 THE WAR


 BECAUSE of the war many Of the military in character-in fact, the smart style suits for midwinter wear are decidedly military in effect and so replete in their trimming motifs, with the various insignia which distinguish the dress uniforms of the various Ie- gions, one can almost recognize the regimentals. Well liked is a Russian .Cossack uniform in which can be traced the tendency of the spring styles toward the full skirt and fitted bodice.
 Colors for cloth suits are dubbed with new names. All of these are of war like character. Battleship gray is the name for that color, of which a famous war correspondent spoke as so subtle the landscape,'' In passing let it be noted that the name is a neutral nom de plume.
 Sand shades are everywhere. New voices sing solos about the co1ors which will bloom in spring fashions, while they call our attention to the efforts al- ready Being made to provide a cheerful atmosphere among the trades by an early introductiOn of co1ored millinery, co1ored hosiery and shoes and very brightly colored vei1s and other dress accessories.
 Later on eve shall speak of. godet folds, organ plaits and circular skirts ad inf1nitum. The close cut shoulder and the tapering waist will also enter into the scheme of things entire. and don't be at all surprised to see tight fitting sleeves. buttoned from waist to elbow; bodices tightly fitted, with a row of knobby buttons traversing the line from waist to throat with order- Iy nicety and severity.
