PRINCESS DE LANTBALLE.

Marie Therese Louise of Savoy and Carignan Princess de Lamballe, was born at Turin in 1749. She mar ried the Duke of Bourbon Penthievre, who died shortly after the marriage, leaving her wealthy and beautiful young widow The Princess entered the royal household of Marie Antoin- cite, with whom she became a great favorite. When the royal family fled to Varenne on the outbreak of the Revolution, Madame Lamballe escap- ed to England. On hearing that her royal mistress was imprisoned, she re- turned to Paris to offer what help she could. This devotion proved fatal to her. Dragged to the prison of La Force, she was tried by the Revolu- tionist tribunal. Some of the judges, moved by her heroism, her youth and beauty, wished to save her, but as she left the place of her trial she was seiz- ed by the mob and literally torn to pieces. Her head was placed on a pike, and paraded before the queen and her family. Marie Antoinette followed her to the guillotine soon af- terWard

 Cabbage Crop Running Short.
 Different cabbage pests and an un- favorable growing season have con- spired against the late cabbage crop so that cabbage is destined to take jump in the near future. This crop is enjoying a good demand at present and the prevailing prices paid by re- tailers is $1.50 a barrel. Some sales are made above and below these fig ures, according to quality of the pro- duct
 Sweet Corn Again Scarce.
 With break in the corn season re- sulting from the terminating of the early varieties and the slight delay in the maturing of the later varieties, corn took slight jump this morning. Fancy grades held the same price, $25O a sack or soc a dozen but poor CT grades commanded $2-225, accord ing to quality. Retailers willingly paid the $2.25 a sack asked for Golden Bantam and demand on this variety is never filled.

 Tomatoes Should be Canned This Week
 According to the consensus of optn- ions expressed by Bridgeport growers at a meeting held last night, the late crop of tomatoes will be poor and the wary and intelligent housewife will buy her supply of tomatoes this week at the lowest prices likely to obtain this season. The Earliana variety is being cleaned up now and Stone and Acmes will soon replace it. Tomatoes in all stages of ripeness can be bought very reasonable and there will be no excuse if a good supply is not put down, Growers are marketing very abundant crop of early tomatoes and should be given the hearty co-opera- ton of the Bridgeport housewife to move the crop and allow them slight profits for growing and marketing Crates of fancy stock were bringing s1 wholesalt, while retailers were pay ing 75-9Oc for No. 2's and medium stock. Some clean up sales were made at 75c. Retailers paid 75c for fancy baskets GA qts) with poorer grades bringing 5065c according to quality. These prices are equivalent to 4-5c a

ECONOMIZING

In the elimination of non- essentials, which is 8, vast process of reform go- ing on throughout the continent and touching every industry, a woman finds that fashion permits her to omit five inch length.
 This is an admirable aid to re- forming clothes. A bad neckline may be cut away and stitched on it's edges, or merely touched with white organ die piping; and sleeves that are worn out at the elbows or, ungraceruiiy ad- justed at the wrists may be clipped off above the elbow and given a severe finish.
 The insistence upon the cuirass blouse, which is the best name that most of it's followers can find, relieves a woman's mind as.t to what to do with her separate skirts; and the fashion for the modified minaret tunic, which swings from the shoulders and flares at its hem, in the Arabian fashion gives her a chance to use flaring skirt as an upper garment. Little has been said concerning this minaret tunic by those who speak of ten of fashions. Memory is short, and probably there are hundreds who have 1 forgotten the brief, brilliant reign ot | this bit of Orientalism that came into | being through a popular play. The fact that it is in fashion should be received with joy by the economists l There are in every wardrobe skirts 1T
 more or less good condition that flare at the hem. They are left overs from
 last seasons, and some of them have been worn defiantly by those who diC
 not intend to go round the whirligig O. | fashion. These are the garments tha
 can be easily turned into minare 1 tunics.

Dancing Outdoors One Fine
 Way to Improve Your Beauty
By LucreZia BOri
tThe Famous Spanish Prima Donna.)

breathing, consequently dropping the shoulders and letting the entire figure slump" You never feel like throw ing out your chest and making deep breaths if you are in a dancing room where there is little or no fresh air, do you?
 On the other hand, the dancing out doors brings you more than the mere stimulation of motion and music. With fresh air pouring into your lungs there Is wholesome joy that exhil- irates you and stimulates you for a, longer time than the most stirring music or the more skiIful dancing partner.
 Aids All Muscles.
 Outdoor dancing of the classical Greek variety, and even some of the folk dances involves graceful motion of the limbs, something unknown in the modern dances. Outdoor dancing then becomes a kind of aesthetic ex-s ercise. You may regard as tiresome the physical exercise which requires that you move your arms or your head, shoulders or legs in certain di- rections a number of times. That Se6IIlS 11h0 LII uIuuSSIys DuL Il yOu per form similar motions in time to music. slowly, swayfng gracefully, you are accomplishing the same result physic- ally.
 You strengthen commonly unused muscles, you develop charming curves, and, best of all, you habitually come to adopt a graceful attitude in standing, walking, sitting. Dancing outdoors can therefore accomplish for the grace of the body what physical exercises accomplish for their strengthen ening.
 Do not, therefore, regard dancing as simply diversion or amusement. It is more. If you will learn the right kind of dances, dance outdoors when ever you possibly can, insist on gener- ous ventilation whenever you dance indoors and learn the dances which encourage free movement of the body you will find in the art source of added beauty as we'll as entertain ment.

HAVE STOCK OF
 WOOL ON HAND FOR THE KNITTERS

That the many million of Red Cross knitters may know the plans of the Red Cross for future knitting, Geo. E. Scott, acting general manager of the following statement:
 When the War Industries Board, some time ago, advised the Red Cross that future production of knitting yarn would be greatly reduced we inn mediately commenced to purchase all yarns suitable for our knitting. As a result we have today in stock or on order 100000 pounds of yarn for dis tribution to our chapters. It is hoped that we may obtain some additional yarn from wool unsuitable for gov ernment uses. The expected total however, will be considerable below the 10,000,000 pounds used. last year.
 While the total of yarn we can se- cure is being determined we are studying how to use our supply to produce only garments which are most essential. When conclusion is reached we will announce our full program of knitting.
 'rIn addition to this stock of yarn the Red Cross has ready for distribu- ton 1,600,00O sweaters, 134,000 huff lers, 1000 wristlets, 22S,000 helmets and 1,32S,O00 pairs of socks, a total of 3,674,00O articles.
 "We are thopefuI, therefore, that these and such additional garments as we shall be able to make will enable us to meet the more urgent require l ments of our men during the coming winter"

SUCCESSCUL CANNING.

The Fairfield Canning Kitchen, at Sherman school, is proving a great success, and very good work is being done along the lines of food conserva- tion. The women have taken days with their teams of workers, and as many as r women have helped in a morning. Since the kitchen opened on July 29, over 1000 jars have been canned, and during the past week 394 were done, and that in spite of very hot weather. It is an ideal place to work, the room being large, light and we'll ventilated. The workers come in all ages from IA to 83 years, and all take an intelligent interest in it. At present corn is being canned in great quantities, and in a new way, very delicious. The attractive sign on the school green was donated by Henry Williams, who made it, and the painting of the sign was donated by MT. Benway, both wishing to do something to help along the work. Donations of vegetables and fruits have been made to the kitchen by the following persons: Mrs. H. c. Sturges, beans, carrots, beets and rhubarb; |; MISS A. D sugar for the soldiers jam, beans, carrots, chard; Mrs. S. H. Wheeler, beets, car- rots; Mrs. H. W. Warner, beets, car rots; Mrs. Clarence Sturges, beans, beets, corn and squash; Domanic Mer- curio, squash; A. H. Terry, sugar for soldiers jam; Miss Nichols, rhubarb; 1; Mrs. Charles Phelps, squash, beet | tops; MT. A. A. Johnson, apples; Mrs. | Brett, crabapples for soldiers jam. 1 Donations of carrots for marmalade are solicited. This jam when made is much like orange marmalade, and takes the place of fruit which is so scarce this year. Mrs. Schenck, chair i man of the County Home Economics | Committee, visited the kitchen on Friday, and was much impressed with the work being done, and with the team of young girls who were there then, learning to can.
 Orders for canned vegetables are
 taken, and those having surplus vege-
 tables in the gardens are asked to do-
 nate them for sale when done up, the
 proceeds to go to war relief work or to purchase the sugar for the jam

velop bodily beauty than dancing. Dancing, indeed, spontaneously grew from the purpose of displaying beauty of motion, although we don't often associate it with this purpose.
 As commonly practiced, dancing in- doors does not offer any opportunity for aesthetic development of the body. The motions are too short, the figure is often held almost taut, and the arms stiff and well nigh motionless. Naturally, in such a restrained posi- tion there is little real beauty, even though the natural grace of the dancer may make her figure appear charming as she moves daintily about.
 Learn Correct Breathing.
 We find the greatest beauty in the Greek dancing outdoors, and unques- tionably there are no more graceful disciples of the Terpsichorean art than the girls who have studied classical dancing in its best sense outdoors.
 In order to make dancing really beneficial in it's development of hu- man grace it is necessary carefully to observe several conditions. In the first place, there should be plenty of fresh air, so that the dancer will au- tomatcally breathe correctly, and take the correct positions of shoulders erect, chest out and head poised high.
 I suspect that the once popular "debutante slouch" which was in high favor with young people some years ago, arose largely because dancers in- doors, wheras the air was poor, slumped into the habit of light
