MISS K, MULLEN GOING TO MAINE
 TO AID SUFFRAGE
Vigorous Work in Store for Association in this State
 The Coming Year
Headquarters,

{From Suffrage Headquarters, Hartford)
 The plans agreed upon by the Exe- cutive Board of the Connecticut Wo- man Suffrage Association at it's meet ing last Wednesday are already being put into operation. There is a heavy programme of work before the asso- the Suffrage Amendment by the House of Representatives on May 8, puts this state in the position of a campaign state and it is essential to keep up vigorous suffrage work in or- der to secure the passage of the amendment through the next Jlegisla- ture. As the measure will then re- quire a two-thirds majority in each house large amount of work will have to be done in every constituency
 both of Representatives and Sena- tors
 Alongside of this suffrage work at home, Connecticut suffragists are eag- CT to help in the states where there are referendum votes this fall It was voted by the board to send Miss Katherine Mullen to work in Maine for the summer-the Connecticut as- sociation paying her salary. volun- teers are also coming forward with offers to work in New York state, where the vote will be taken almost two months later than in Maine. In Maine, as in Connecticut, the woman suffrage amendment is tied up with an anti-nquor trade measure, for the voters are also asked to vote at the special election in September, on a measure designed to make possible a much stricter enforcement of the Maine prohibition law.
 Besides all this straight suffrage work. every suffragist in Connecti- cut is being mobilized for some form or other of war service work. Suffra- gists are not contented with the pres- ent condition of war work. There is too much waste and overlapping.
 They are anxious to get into close cooperation with the Women's com mittee appointed by the government at Washington as a part of the Ma tional Council of Defence. They feel that plans of work which have been passed upon and approved by the state departments concerned, and
 which are uniform in application will be more profitable for the nation than plans devised, by each woman's 1 organization separately, and they are quite ready to cooperate with the temporary chairman appointed from Washington for Connecticut-Mrs. E. H. Smiley of Hartford-in bringing the women of this state into line un- der the Woman's committee. There are both suffragists and antis, and women who are neither the one nor the other on the national committee, and it will be a great benefit to the women of this state to bring women
 of all shades of opinion ogether in the work.

ANNE BOLEYN

Anne Boleyn, Queen of England, was executed on May 19, 1536. Her unhappy fate is celebrated in history as that of an innocent woman sacri- feed by her husband for the sake of new affection. During seven years, while Henry VIII was endea- voring to rid himself of his first queen, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn allowed herself to be enter tained as a queen-elect in the royal household. Henry married her very quietly after his divorce and soon af- terward she was crowned at West minister with unparalleled splendor. In due time Anne gave birth to a daughter, the famous Queen Eliza beth of later years. For two ana a half years after this event the royal couple lived in apparent harmony. Then Henry professed to be troupleo by rumors which reached him accus- ing the queen of bestowing her affec- tions upon others. Later open charses were made and Anne, with her broth CT, were tried by the House CT Peers who found them both guilty and con- demned to death.

Little Coat in Empire Style.

The rich. dark red Burgundy and Bordeaux reds so smart for mature modes are in great demand for coats Tor little ladies of fashion. A charm ing model for child is shown here. It IS made in Empire style, the front ana pack being plaited to the yoke. The touch of novelty is supplied in the front of the coat, which is cut in panel style, extending to the neck edge. In medium size the design ra- quires 21s yards 54-inch material.
 To cut the coat, first fold the mate. rial In half. then place the back on the lengthwise fold, with the csilar and yoke to the right of it. Next place into position the underfacing. letting the single line of large "O'' perforations rest on a Iengthwise thread. -
 Both styles of cuffs are shown in the cutting guide and these, with the yoke, sleeve, pocket and front are so placed on the material that the single line of large 70" perforations rest on a lengthwise thread.
 If round design is preferred to the large square collar illustrated, cut of the lower part of the pattern along small 60" perforatlons before placing it on the material.
 The pockets are provided in two styles - large squares applied in patch form, or still longer and wider pockets that cover haIf the length of the coat at the sides. The latter are trimmed with rows of small hut tons.
 Marrow braid loops and buttons ornament the panel front, but if a toucn of embroidery be desired, it can be used instead of the button trimmings.
 Another effective way of fnt<hing the front of the coat is with button holed scallops.

Theodosio Burr

The first figure of the growing capi- also the central figure of all social ac- hvities, the exposure of all eyes. But the laughing belles of St. Louis at length sighed and gave him up. They loved him as governor since they might not as man. Wise, firm, delib- crate, kind, sad, he was an old man now, though still young in years.
 Scattered uo and down the great val ley above and below St. Louis and harboring in that town were many of the late adherents of Burr's broken conspiracy. These liked not the on- coming of the American government, enforced by so rigid an executive as that which now held power. Threats came to the ears of Meriwether Lewis, who was hated by the Burr adherents as the cause of their discontinue, but he, wholly devoid of the fear of any man, only laughed at them. Honest and blameless, 1t was difficult for any enemy to injure him, and no man cared to meet Meriwether Lewis in the open.
 But at last one means Of attack was found. Once more-the last time-the great heart of noble man was pierced.
 "Win,' said he to his friend as they met at William Clark's home, accord ing to their frequent custom, q am in trouble.''
 "Fancied trouble, Merne,'' said Clark. You're always finding it.''

"By this mornings mail I get back these bills protested-protested by the government at Washington. And they are bills that have drawn to pay the expenses of administering my office here.''

 But now, at the close of this day, the two central figures of the tragic drama found themselves together once more. They could be alone nowhere but in the prison, room, and it was there that they parted. .
 Between them as they stood now at last about to part there stretched an abysmal gulf which might never per sonally be passed by either. gs
 She faced him at length, trembling, pleading, helpless.
 "How mighty a thing is a mans sense of honorr' she said slowly. You have done what never would have asked you to do, and I am glad that you did. How can repay you, for what you have done today? I cannot tell how, but feel that you have turn ed the tide for us. Ah, if ever you felt that you owed me anything, it is paid all your debt to me and mine. See, I no longer weep You have dried my tears"
 "We cannot balance debits and cred its," he replied. ssThere is no way in the world in which you and can cry quits. Only one thing is sure-I must go."
 'I cannot say goodby," said she. "Ah, do not ask me that! We are but beginning now"
 He locked at her still, an unspeaka- ble sadless in his gaze-at her hand, extended pleadingly toward him.
 Wont you take my hand, MerneT' said she. Wont you?"

 "Why? Do you wish to leave me still feeling that I am in your debt? You can afford so much now," she said brokenly, flor those who have not won"
 ''Think you that. have won?" he broke out. Theodosia-Theo-I shall call you by your old name just once-I do not take your hand-I dare not touch you-because I love you! I al ways shall. God help me, it is the truth!'
 Her eyes looked up at him lumi- nously.
 "You are g1oriorsr' said she. "Yes. a woman's name would be safe with you. You are strong. How terrible a thing is sense of honor! But you are glorious. Goodby!"

Women Will Honor
 Dolly Madison

A charming, able and diplomatic First Lady of the Land' was Dolly Madison. wife of James Madison, fourth President of the United States, whose birthday will be celebrated to- day, despite the fact that the anni- versary of her birth does not really come until tomorrow. Dolly Madi- son is always the patron saint of the wives of the statesmen who happen to be sIn the saddeP' when her birth day comes around. She was born on May 20, 1772, and was a charming widow of twenty-two, the relict of one Todd, when she captured the heart of the future president When her husband became secretary of state under Jefferson she began her reign at the White House, which con tinued during Madison's two terms as President, and her sway was the go1-
 den age of Washington society, and 1t has. never since been equalled1 in brilliancy. She habitually used snuff, but it was said that 'in her hand the snuff box seems only a gracious com pliment with which to charm" While not of the intellectual type, she was a born diplomat. and her amiability and desire to please transformed many of Madison's bitterest enemies into. firm friends. Madison was pres ident throughout the period covered by the war between Great Britain and the United States and then chief , executive needed all the friends he could possibly make. His wife help ed him in this and, behind the scenes, helped guide the ship of state through many a squai. Dolly Madison lived to a ripe old age, dying in 1s49. and maintained her social supremacy un- til the last For nearly half a cen- tury she was the social arbiter and set the fashions for all America.

Pete writes: "I am about as hap py a married man as there can be, weak as I am. Three years wed, our lives have been as if we live in our honeymoon, till now. Open windows day and night, is my wife's theory for health. We must get the fresh chill air. Let the sunshine in, blink ing sharply at our eyes, at the peep of morn! No steam-heated apartments for us, find, but open ventilation and exercise. It is a good deal of a joke. I walk to and from work. Bless her heart! She means well.

USE OF CEREALS

Use of cereals (flour. meal. cereal breakfast foods. etc.) freely, taking pains to prepare them with great care and to vary the kind used from day to day if necessary to keep people from tiring of them.
 Remember. that a quart of whole milk day for each child, to be used as a beverage and in cookery is not too much.
 Plan carefully both in buying and in serving.
 Thrift in food means providing enough food, neither too little nor too much. s*
 Notice carefully how much of such staples as flour. sugar, milk, cooking fat is used each week for a month, and see if there are any ways of cut ting down the quantity needed.

WHEN BEAUTY WAVES.

What, is beauty? Not the show Of shapely limbs and features. No; These are but the flowers
 That have their dated hours,
 To breath their momentary sweets and
 go.
 Iris the stainless souls within
 That outshines the fairest skin.''
 No girl should feel discouraged be- cause she hasn't a pretty face. She has probably other charms which are quite as effective, If only beauties won husbands, there would be mighty few wives in the world. The girl some men rave over, others see no charm in. A pink and while complexion, framed in a mass of curling hair, does not suit every man. One bachelor said recently: You can see the counter part of such girls in any dry-goods store window The doll-wife is all very well for the frivolous fellow. They make a we'll matched couple. Graver, more sensible men take to the plain home-girls, and marry them. Of course it's every young woman's duty to look as pleasing as she can. A girls dressing often indicates the sort of man who is apt to be attracted to her. The young woman of thirty, who dresses like the miss of sixteen. rarely captures the heart of the staid bach elor of forty
 Beauty alone. is a very poor asset upon which to hold the heart of man. If perchance 1t should fade untimely, where are you? It's a woman's sweet ness of disposition which counts every time with a man. Her gentle, sooth- ing ways appeal, holding his heart captive for all time.
 When men are deeply in love, they do not look for a woman's defects A great artist once conhded to me that he had just married the most beauti- ful women he had ever met. You will not have to search far and wide for a model now" said. He was known to be severe critic of what constituted beauty in woman. Soon afterward. I met the artists bride. It almost took my breath away. I saw before me a sweet-faced, but exceed ingly plain little woman, without one trace of good looks about her. I hoped and prayed she wouKi refuse to pose for her famous artist husband. Her inartistic face would spoil his reputa- tion as painter of feminine beauty. at one fell blow
 Every girl should realize that the responsibility of her future rests very much with her. She should cultivate the power to hold love, after her youth and beauty have waned. The man who is attracted to her mainly for her beauty, she should not accept He
