LOOKING FOR A
 WEDDING RING

Though fools spurn Hymen's gentle powers,
 We who improve his golden hours By sweet experience know
 That marriage. rightly understood, Gives to the tender and the good A paradise below"
 Ever since June, the month of Fly men, and of weddings, drew nigh, the canny jewellers have filled their win
 dows with bright new wedding rings. They are supposed to be a, covert hint to the tardy lover who has not yet popped the all important question and a reminder to the man who has that the wedding ring will play an all-im- portant part in the ceremony which | is soon to take place
 It is as good as going to a show where there's a laugh a minute to see these noble lords of creation approach such 8 window. The average business | man if caught there by some friend ! who is known to be a practical joker tells, as he jerks out his tinepiece, | that he just stopped to ge the correct | time by the clock in the window which | is always right and expects to get | away with the db.
 The youth effom the country, being practical, brings his betrothed with
 him Although the hundred or more 1 rings in the window are exactly alike,
 save in size, time seems fairly to fly away from them as they gaze for fully an hour more, looking for the one which takes her eye the most firmly. Bachelors of long standing approach the window rather sfleepish1y. They
 have steered clear of a wedding ring I full many a year, but the expression
 now on their faces plainly indicates
 that their flirting, free-lance days are about to be cut short. A sweet wo-
 man has consented to allow such a one
 to buy wedding ring for her. The widower does not have to take a,
 glance at the window when he deter
 mines that his future happiness de-
 bends upon another wedding ring. He
 steps in boldly. He knows exactly | what he wants and is not the least
 tin1id in asking for it. The soldier
 who has had experience knows more
 about preparedness than a newcomer
 in the ranks.
 l A man apparently too shy to step forth manfu11y to acquire so tmpor- tant a purchase should be held in close surveillance lest he back out of his
 promises ere he be landed at the altar
 It is a sort of ordeal for the inexperi- enced youth, but faint heart, it should ] be remembered, ne'er won fair lady. The purchase of the wedding ring is l the greatest, noblest achievement in any mans life. I am sure the world of women will agree with me in this declaration. I hope this truth will sink deep into the heart of every sin l gle man who reads this article.

BULLY" AND
 "CANNED WILLIE

Washington, June 24-In an "En- cyclopedia of Military Terms,' just published by Canadian troops serving in France, an old. staple army article, corned beef, is given the name of bully"
 Members of the United States Ma rine Corps, who publish no encycIo- pedia, call the same thing Canned Willie,'' and they point out that troops all over the world have different and expressive terms describing the tin ned corned beef product.
 Our Marines give no reason for their Canned Willie" version of the corned beef affair, other than that they try to be original in all things, and that. in going about the world in performance Of duty, they learn what the other fellow is doing in a nick naming way and are thus able to keep right up to the minute.

 SUFFRAGE NEWS

The fourth of the series of eight county conventions which are being held by the Connecticut Woman Suf- frage Association is to meet in Strat- ford next Wednesday. This is the Fairfield County Convention. It has been arranged by Miss Ruutz-Rees, the Chairman of Fairfield County. It will be attended by representatives from each town in the county and also by the members of the Executive Board of the c. w. s. A. As, in all the other conventions the chief fea-
 ture will be the reports of work that will be given by all the leagues. Addresses will also be made by Miss Ruutz-Rees. Miss Emily Pierson, Mrs Hepburn and others of the State of ficers.
 The three conventions that have aI- Haven, Hartford and Windham counties. New Haven was the first to hold it's convention. It assembled at the Lawn Club in New Haven on
 June 10. The attendance was very Iarge-much larger than had been
 expected, and besides the reports from the individual leagues a com
 prehensiVe report on county work was given by Miss Katherine Mullen
 the County Organizer
 The second convention was that of Hartford County, which met at Hart
 ford on Thursday of last week. It is 6. remarkable proof of the growth of suffrage sentiment that these con ventions attracted so much interest. At the Hartford Convention there were women from Pennington, Un- icnville, Simsbury, Ce1linsFi1le, i ThompsOnVille and Enfield, Windsor and Windsor Locks, New Britain, Berlin, Bristol, South Manchester and ] East Granby, besides a large number | Of the members of all three suffrage organizations of Hartford City.
 Windham County was the third of | the counties to have a suffrage con- vention. This was, held at Putnam last Saturday. There were about a
 frage organizations present, and Miss | Rosamond Danie1son, Chairman of Windhan County presided. There ] will be a fifth convention in June as | that for Holland County is arranged | for the last day of the month. The l other three counties will have their 1 conventions in July and August.
 Now that woman suffrage has been | endorsed by every one of the great
 national political parties-Republican
 Dem ocratic, Socialist, Progressive and Prohibitio onist-it seems though
 there would be pGk sibility of fail
 ure as regards the passage of the
 state constitutional amendment
 through the next legislature. If it is l just and right that women should 1 have the franchise, surely there are
 no men who are willing to set them

 If the silk is in natural color, brown faille or velvet is suggested for the collar. The back may be made with or without the tab extensions. Gut ting off the pattern E inch below small 70" perforations will elim- mate the extension.
 Three sections of the pattern are laid directly on the lengthwise fold of the material, the back, the back Peplum and the collar.

The section marked "F'' is for thaA front of the Peplum, and is laid on a lengthwise row the home dressmaker finds the sleeve section, with underfacing above, then the front-to the right of the sleeve-and, finally, the under sleeve.

No mistake can be made, however, if the cutting guide is studied carefully before hand and followed exactly. The suit is one of the most attractive of the simple designs. In white serge trimmed with black, it is equally as stunning as in pongee.

Day Telegram" I&'s was discarded because 1t was toe, exE> nsive. Special Mothers Day blanks were furnished, and the rest of the problem was solv- ed by instructing all messenger boys delivering such messages to say to the recipient, Madam, this is a Mothers Day message" Telegraph officials hope even this precaution will not be neces- sary in a year or two.
 Telegraph officials believe that the business and social possibilities of the telegraph have only been tapped. They believe there will be more new uses and greater amplif1cations of the ser vice. As the night letter was inaugu- rated in 1910 to supply et use for fa- cilities at night, the day letter was ctarted to use the valleys in the ser vice facilities. There arr peaks in the business at 10 o'clock il the morn ing ,at noOn- and at the closing of business around 5:8O clock. Between the peaks are valleys The day let ter tt fifty words is sent during the valley period of busiGess that fol- lC",S the regulA" business messages. TI-H charge is c1lc- and-a half times that of the night letter.
 The night m essdge is sent ahead If the night letter and Lchina the regular message. It is charged at the ten word rate, as a regular message is, only at about two-thirds of the rate of the regular message. Modern Cable Service.
 The Western Union has also install ed notifications of cable service which correspond closely to modification in the land wire service. In addition to the fast regular cables there is the de- ferred half-rate service sent along when the regular messages do not keep the facilities busy. Then there is the cable service letter, based on a th1rteen-Word rate, and the weekend letter service, which is based on a twenty-five word basis. These mes sages are filed at any time up to mid night Saturday night for delivery in any part of the world the following Monday morning. The money trans fer service, the marine service, the messenger service, the commercial news service, and the time service are other ranlifcations by which the Wes- tern Union has made it's service fit the requirements of business and of the public.

Stuffed Tomatoes.

Large tomatoes haIved, the seeds and soft pulp removed and shell fill ed with canned corn, are easily pre- pared by placing under a gas broiler until the corn has light brown tinge and has acquired the flavor of roast ed corn. The corn should have been previously drained and cooked for about five minutes with butter and seasonings. So arranged the tomato halves with corn filling can be covered with buttered crumbs and baked in the same manner as are whole tomatoes.
