When we passed that glorious

We looked forward to the future,
With ardent spirits bold.
We prated of democracy,

And how we'd get the kaiser
And bring him to his knees.
How we'd face the German legiOns,
Without a trace of fear
But alas we had not reckoned with

I've done some provost duty,
Took a turn in Warehouse "a"
Hit the docks at midnight,
When the front was short of hay.
I've set up locomotives,
Then built a mile of track,
Chopped wood and dug some
Just to keep from getting slack
But though I've done my duty
AS 1 saw it true and clear,
T will never get a medal
In the SERVICE OF THE REAR.
For I'm an S. o. R. boys; also an

But I've always done my duty
and I tried to do it well,

Fancy Elbertas for canning are cost ing the retailer $4.25-5.50 a bushel or IS 1-4-17 1-4c a quart. Crates of "A quart capacity are selling at all prices. Fancy Elbertas are bringing $4.0o-4.25 by the crate or 17-1Sc a quart. Carmans from New Jersey are selling from s3.o0-4.25 a crate, ac- cording to quality. The local repre- sentative of the Bureau of Markets again emphasizes the fact that a much better quality of peach is avail able for canning now than there will be later. Housewives should ask their retailer to get them a quantity for cannuing.
 Fruits are very unstable at present. Berries are practically gone with a few blachberries selling at 23c quart and blueberries 22-24c.
 Local apples have not come in vet in quantity but fine southern apples gravesteins and red astrachans as well as greenings and Williams red are selling from $2.00-3.00 g. hamper or 7-10c a quart These varieties are fine eating and fine cooking ap. pies.

VEGETABLE HINTS.

Try steaming green vegetables in- stead of boiling them.
 Soak wilted vegetables in cold wa ter until they are crisp and fresh.
 Soak celery and cabbage for 15 or 20 minutes before using, so that any inescts or worms will come out.
 The French like peas cooked in let tuce leaves in the top of a double boiler or laid in lettuce leaves in the top of a strainer. Sometimes too, they add parsley leaf or a mint leaf to peas in the cooking to give them flavor, but the plain flavor of we'll cooked green peas is very pleasing without any additions.
 Cook beets, carrots and parsnips be- fore peeling. The skin comes of after cooking in a very economical and easy way.
 Potatoes, too, may be cooked in their jackets.
 To remove the skins of tomatoes, dip them into a pan of boiling water, then chill. The skins can them be easily removed
 If you boil your vegetables, nSver throw away the water in which they were cooked. It contains valuable material. Use it as the basis of soup. Radishes, red or white, when a 1it- tie too old to be eaten raw, may be cooked like turnips and served. Beet tops are one of the most de- licious of greens. sSAAg

adjust fashions so that they appear different, and, indeed, this is per haps the ideal of individuality in clothes-to wear things that are smart and fashionable and yet have a distinctly different touch to mark in dividuality.
 Madame had me bring out for Hiss Neil's inspection a cape that was real ly different, although all its lines con- formed to the latest decree of fash lon regarding summer wraps.
 The first note of difference in this cape is its unusual color, a tolor that would perhaps be trying to any one with complexion on the far side of perfection. It is a most delicate fawn color that falls in the softest of lines, from the shoulder. In or der to give 1t a good setting it is lined with black satin.
 Sheaths of the black satin are visi- ble from the opening in front as the cape swirls when walking, and a sug- gestion of black peers out from the sleeve slit. Black silk braid edges the entire cape, and this trimming is

 Pawn is a difficult color to manaee l for unless 1t is a solid background ii looks shapeless. In this case the wrap was stunning, for 1t was SUD- ported by the black satin lining, and on Miss NetFs full figure 1t looked l superb.
 Pawn, of course, Is a color which very few slender persons can wear even if they have faultless complex. icns. It is what Madame sometime: calls 8 disappearing color. I somehow fades right into whatever background there happens to be, and unless the wearer is of large figure ol of a dominating personality it's sure to make her appear. frail or insignif' cant.
 This type of cape requires a hat o1 stiff and rather aggressive lines. 4 droopy hat would emphasize it's soft. ness so much that the whole ensem. ble of the costume would be weak. | ened.
 The hat that goes with this costume is black straw toque of stiff mili tary lines. The trimming is darl wheat, and fs finished near the br1n with a narrow strip of brown velve l ribbon and tiny bow.

 Trading has been dull for the last two days on the Farmers Market at the foot of Wall street. A very fine supply of produce was available but demand on all stock is light, making it necessary for some farmers to bring part of their loads home. It is therefore plainly the duty of the Bridgeport housewife to use more fresh vegetables and in this way en- courage the Bridgeport Farmers ir their efforts to increase production as a patriotic war measure. It is rather discouraging to feel that it IS cheaper to leave crops in the ground to spoil than it is to attempt to mar ket them.

HATS WITH BRIMS
TIME SAVERS.

When washing stairs do three at a time, thus saving the time which it takes to wiring out the cloth.
 When ironing handkerchiefs, place each persons handkerchief in a sep arate pile and avoid the trouble of sorting them over afterward.
 Vinegar and sweet oil make an ex- cellent furniture polish when in hurry.
 A tablespoonful of vinegar added to meat when boiling will make the toughest meat like the tenderest chicken.
 When sewing on the machine. use a discarded hair receiver to place your scraps of cloth and thread in, saving the time and trouble which. it takes to pick them up later on.
