DRESS NOTES.

The combination of chiffon or Geor- gette crepe in blouses with velvet or velour cuffs and collars, buttons, pock- ct flaps and other trimmings Is one that remains good as the season ad- vances. The combination of a heavy fabric with a very sheer one is a1- ways attractive, and this combination is no exception to the rule.

RUNNERS IN STOCKINGS.

'T saw an item in the paper the other day about stopping a run in a silk stocking by rubbing it with a bit of moistened soap" said a young girl, "but I've discovered that it can be stopped merely by dampening it. You can't always get hold of a piece of soap as soon as you discover a run, you know it.; but you can all ways dampen the stitches that are left open at the end of a short 'runner' and this serves to stiffen the thread until you can get home and catch the runaway Stitch.n --

AN EMPRoMPTU SHADE.

When the side electric bulb is just a trif1e too glaring for the work which you are doing, or if it shines too brightly in a bedroom where a softer glow is desired, just try slipping a plain manila envelope of business size over the bulb. The fact that you have to press the envelope at the ends to make it gap enough to be slipped over the bulb gives it enough resistance to keep it in place. Of course this is not a slightly shade, but it answers the purpose when soft light is re- quired in a hurry.

A DAINTY APRON.

The little girl will look adorably cunning wearing little pinafore apron of crash tinted and worked in green, black and pink. An applied band forms a pocke tall the way across and on either side of this band there are two little patch pockets. Between the two patch pockets a lit tie Dutch maiden is playing with gar lands of flowers, and near the middle top of the apron there is a tiny bas- ket of flowers. As a great deal of the design is tinted, the embroidery work on it is not too much nor too intri- cate.

THE WINDOW SHADE.

Something that will amuse the baby, attract the passer-by and please the housekeeper is in the form of a weight for the curtain cord. The weight is a wooden ring, in which is wooden basket filled with wooden flowers painted in their natural col ors. The cost of such a weight is only 25 cents. Sufficient to grace leach very much. A set of weights would prove an appropriate gift for the cou- pie celebrating their wooden anniver- Sary.

There is a practical cork bag that any housekeeper would appreciate. It would also make a valuable addition for the bazaar table. It is fashioned of a straight piece of material, ere tonne, heavy crash, even, in one case, from a strip of brocade. though the other materials would be more serviceable. It is gathered at the top by silk cords through a narrow cas- ing and on the ends of the cords as tassels dangle small corks to show the purpose of the bag and give unique ornamentation. Probably the most appreciated part of the bag will be the corkscrew attached in tassel fash ion to the bottom of the bag by means of a clasp like that on the end of a watch chain. The corkScrew will al- ways be in place if snapped back to the bag after using.

When treavelling, it is a great con venience to have a bag for holding rubber shoes when not in use. One of these may be made with a lining of rubber cloth, made separately, so that the outer cover of tan linen can be removed for washing. The outer cov- CT is made like an envelope and a trife larger than the inside rubber cloth envelope. The linen can be scalloped around the flap and em- broidered or cross stitched by way of ornament, being fastened over with metal clasps at either end. The rub Der cloth envelope inside can be fast ened over with one clasp in the cen ter only, so that the clasps on the in ner and outer envelopes will not be one on top of the other to make them difficult to close.

There is something very fascinating about this idea of appointing a side walk inspector at $1,0Q0 a year. In any ordinary business, there would be somebody to say, Here, Jim, you go out and inspect those sidewalks and be quick about it too, because I want you back. These are our busy days" But the city, naturally, thinks 1t bet ter to apoint sidewalk inspector at $1,000 a year. After the sidewalks are all inspected, there will be a salary of $1,000 a year running right along and giving some good fellow time to sit down and think what a lovely world this is to live in.-Waterbury Repub- ucan.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

A good many of our business men fail to realize that the Chamber of Commerce is a business proposition and so, of course, anything that does not put an extra dollar in their pock- cts and they cannot get any amuse ment out of, they quickly pass up But there is where they make their big mistake. The Chamber of Com merce is a business proposition; 1t is the official spokesman of the city on all matters that deal with it's civic welfare and future Its duties are two fold, to exploit the city to the city's advantage and to obtain inn provements and see that it keeps ing cities. You cannot have a live Chamber of Commerce with eight and ten men attending each meeting night and the sooner this is realized the bet ter off Rockville will be. As Rev. MT. Mathison said at the last meeting the local association is to much of one man affair and that the members de- pend and place too much on the shoulders of their president. Rock vile Journal.
 There is a widespread effort being made by automobile men to standard ize warning horns and whistles, for the greater safety of motorists. In reau is cooperating with the railroads and trolley lines for this purpose. It is proposed that all automobile horns be alike. at least in volume of tone, so as to be readily distinguishable. At the same time, the automobile men ask that trolley car whistles be changed to a type that will not be confused with the motor horns. There is room for much improvement along this line. There is every reason, of course, why auto horns should be standardized just as fire gongs and trolley gon9s and locomotive whistles

Any inclination shown by the legis- lature toward economy should be en- couraged. But it is possible, by an unwise parsimony towards the devel- opment of projects that the state has underway, to do more harm Sthan could be repaired by twice the money asked for continuance Of the work. This is particularly true in regard to road maintenance. The Highway De- partment should be given a sufficient sum to make possible the retention Of the state highways at least in their present form and the filling in of the stretches between the links of trunk highway. That is efficiency and econ ony too. Where the old roads are fraying out and disintegrating they should be replaced with permanent highways that will stand the heaviest of traffic. In this way, and this way only, can the sums appropriated for good roads be intelligently expended and made to produce results Neglect of the roads we have or failure to replace those which are going to the bad would work ruin in a short time to our system of highways.-Ansonia Sentinel.

It showed them that their interests could be served by contributing liberally to the fund. It may have been an indiscreet appeal.
