SUMMER MUSIC.

Love for music seems to be grow ing in all localities. In large cities open air band concerts are held all over the town and a mob of music lovers surge through the streets and squares to hear them. Also back in the cross roads hamlet. the traveller frequently runs across a little. group of people, automobiles and horses, gathered from miles around to hear the '.band boys play their familiar program.
 It is customary to laugh, at the country band. Often it is feeble, ir- resolute and halting. Yet here and there some exceedingly creditab1e work is done. With a leader having musical feeling, and if the musicians rehearse regularly year after year, their work may show both sentiment and power A familiar evening sound is the cornetist or clarinet player practising in his room the rouIades he is booked to play at the next concert.
 Band music may usually be less finished than orchestral work, Yet the power of it's throbbing rythm has an exhi1aration of it's own. The American people are very responsive tc the beat of the big bass drum.

sTEzE SPREAD OF THE
 VACATION HABIT


 Tn previous generation. vaca tions were the rare exception. Ministers and teachers got them. Business men didn't usually care to quit If they with drew their noses from their led- gers, they might lose s1s50. That would be terrible. As for working people getting any outing, that was unheard of.
 Factorfes probably worked in a, more unrerntttlng way then. Orders were given for large lots a. long time ahead. Most shops were busy in sum n1er making goods for the next vim ter. Today more orders are given for quick deliveries. Factories run at high pressure. then times are dull. Many working man may not get any formal and regular vacation but there are times when the shop is shut down when they get all the loafing they care For.
 A farmers wife some years who. took a ten dollar bill and went over into the next state to visit a relative was declared by her neighbors to have committed an act Of folly Farmers worked from dawn to dusk in summer and during the winter they hibernated.
 Today the farm people do a great deaIsof travelling Not in summer as they have too large interests at stake. But read the rural correspondence of any country paper during other parts Of the year. Notice what a lot of go- ing and coming there is. Farmers and

 SUFFRAGE NEWS
"A. G. Porritf.

The two most remarkable suffrage happenings of the last few days have been the deputation to Congressman Glynn and the big musicale given for the benefit of the Greenwich Equal Franchise League at the home of Mrs. J. H. F'lagler, Jr., last "Wednesday. The musicale was largely the result of the energy and initiative of Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton, who acted as chair man of the finance committee, but Mrs. Seton had the support and CO., operation of a very large number of ladies whose names are well known in society in New York. There were no patronesses, each of whom made herself responsible for the disposal of three tickets. As the tickets were two dollars each, the financial re- suits of the affair were highly satis- factory to it's promoters. Mrs. F. C. Hi11iard was chairman of the com nittee on entertainment.
 The deputation to Congressman Glynn, Winsted, was under the lead ership of Mrs. Mary Ritter Beard and the largest section came from New Milford. Besides the cars which formed this contingent there was a car from Norfolk, one from Colebrook one from Sfmsbury and one from Hartford. About e25 women were re- ceived by Congressman GIynn on his porch at Winsted. There were also four men in the delegation and two of them, Professor Charles A. Beard and pr. George H. Wright, were among the speakers The object of the deputation was to plead for Con gressma.n's Glynn's support for the suffrage amendment to the United States constitution which is generally known as the Susan B. Anthony amendment. The case for national ac- ton was we'll put by each one of the speakers, especially by Professor Beard and pr. Wright who were the first speakers to be introduced by Mrs Beard. Following them Mrs. w. D. Ascough, chairman of the Connecti- cut branch of the Congressional Un- ion made short speech, appealing to the congressman as disfranchised voter Mrs. Ascough lived for some years in Washington, and while there she registered and voted Coming to the east she found herself disfran- chised and classed with criminals, idiots, insane persons.

A MUDDY BUILT ON NORFOLK LINES

Like the one-piece frock. the rniddy blouse is too serviceabie as well as stylish to pass into obscurity. there fore designers of youthful fashions ring in the latest novelties upon it. as far as they consistently can to give it the earmarks of smartness This design in white linen may be trimmed with braid in color and is suitable to deveI- opment in a large list of serviceable and attractive looking fabrics In av- craze size the blouse calls for 2 5s yards of material. which must be handled carefully in the cutting to produce the best results. From an open width of the linen the sleeve. front. pockets and cuffs are cut. The pockets may be in two sizes if desired. the largest below the belt. All of the sections of the pattern already enumerated are laid on a 1engthwise thread of the goods.
 For the fold of linen are reserved the collar yoke and back. all three being laid as. near the fold as possible. Either long or short sleeves may be used. small -so'' perforations being provided to de- termine the length. If the high neck is preferred to the open effect cut off extension on front on double 100" per forations.
 The middy blouse enters into many designs. though it is not essentially a dressy garment. Much depends upon the way in which it is worn. Some girls make of it a garment Of untidy appearance by the careless way in which they wear it, while others make of the mfddy trig accompaniment for the skirt of contrasting material

TOO SAVING FOR A WIFE.

Dear Miss Lihbey:-
 My husband and I have consented to leave the decision regarding the constant quarrel between us to you. This is our case: am 26, my. husband 25. He earns $50 g. week, all of which he turns over to me. I allow him 90 cents per week for his carfare and an additional 25 cents for cigarettes every other week. I run our home for SIP a week-$15 at the outside. I am put ting every penny between our ex- penses and his earnings into the bank. I have not had a new pair of shoes in years and it is much longer since I save. He wants money to go every other night to a picture show, is sl1amed of me and says this tight life am leading him takes every bit or snap and courage out of him. Shouldn't t he thank heaven for a good, sensible wife and applaud her thrift?
 MRS. EMMA K B.
 No greater boon could be granted a man from heaven than a prudent, wise wife. It is we'll to be frugal of a hus bands savings, but there is such a thing as swampiRg happiness and choking out love by being too penuri- ous and grasping. One must have a little pleasure to enjoy life. A little money in this way is helpful rather than harmful. A few evenings of the week enjoying the movies together or taking a much-needed street car ride in the cool of the evening or on Sun day puts new heart for labor. in both man and wife. It is something to look forward to. All work and no enjoy ment will make the stoutest heart grow Respondent all too soon. Try both ways and decide together which is best for the happiness and comfort of both.

their families may not go much to easily hotels They may be able to do. They don't care for bridge and tangoing and afternoon tea and pfaz- ga gossip. If they want time off they visit relatives and friedns look over other sections of the country and see how other farmers are doing it. Their time off perhaps pays them better re- turns in money than any week in the year.
 So the American people have their going shoes on. In the case of people of wealth it gets to the point Of mere restlessness. With most others there diversion and for an intelligent con ceptfon of other parts of the country

 BESSIE M. G. Your sisters are quite right. In two years the young man has had more than ample time either to ratify his promise of marriage by purchasing the. engagement ring or tell when he. will do so Lose no time in setting near date for the marriage. Failing in this, do not permit him to call. Dis miss him: he will then have plenty of time to think 1t over, coming to ttr1e,'' as your sisters phrase it, or an nouncing his willingness to give you up. It is a grave mistake for a girl to give her time exclusively up to a man who pays her attention year in and year out without intention of marry ing.

THE MEMORY OF A KISS.

''I cannot tell what the words were In which his love were told; I only know that heard him And that my heart grew bold. | He kissed my cheeks red roses And held me to his heart. Oh, henceforth, dear, together, No more, no more, to part! Oh, the roses of summer wither,
 All beauty will fade away, But true love will last forever,
 Forever and a day"
 It is natural for young people to meet, be attracted to each other, seek drift into love-making without a thought as to the outcome of the af- fair.
 Parents will allow their young daughter to enjoy the society of her beau quite uninterrupted and even keep quite mum of the fact that they saw the young man kiss the girl good night as he ba,de her good bye on the doorstep. Not a word could be said if the young couple were betrothed, but a good deal should be said if they are not. There is nothing in this world more sacred than the first kiss of love a sweet, modest maiden receives from her 1over's lips.
 To the man it may seem a light in cident-quite a part of 1oEe-making. 70 a maid It means the aWak0n1nS or her untutored girlish heart The kiss is heeting, but the memory of it will finger for all time, so wonderful, so sacred is it..
 The girl who weds her first and only lover lives life quite apart from the woman whose lips have yielded ac- Acknowledgement to half a score of heaux who have come, made love. wearied of the pastime and gone their way. The true sentiment of the kiss is lost upon her.
 Girls who indulge in kissing games at picnic or party grow up to young womanhood without the proper reVer- ence for the exchange of loves most sacred seal-theskiss There are young men too noble to ask for such bond of. affection when they are not engaged to the: young lady. There are other tell the girls that this is part of the love making It rests with mothers to warn unsophisticated haidens that this is far from the truth.
 Girls who permit the freedom of kisses soon lose not only young mans respect, but his confidence as we'll He soon wearies of her and bows at the shrine of the girl who holds her kisses too sacred to give to any one save the man who has pro- posed marriage to her and has been accepted.

 More girls lose lovers because of kiss Indulgence than is supposed; it turns more men than it wins.

Cherry Pie.

A freshly baked, well made cherry pie stands very near to the head of. the list of fruit deserts. It cannot however, be made in the short space of time given in the old nursery rhyme for the fruit in the modern pie must be pitted either by hand or by one of the convenient little cherry stoners. The common sour cherry is even better for pies than the sWeetsF, larger kinds. Cherries retain their own flavor well after cooking, and this should not be Fmothered by other seasonings.
 Roll two large soda crackers into fine dust and stone cherries enough 70 measure two cups. Line a pie plate with good rich paste and scatter one half cup of sugar over. Sprinkle one half of the cracker dust and over zt one-haf of the cherries Repeat the three layers. pour on one cup of cherry juice and cold water; cover with paste and bake in a moderate oven.
