TACT A GREAT ASSET,

The tactft1l woman is she who does not Know what you want to explain to her! Any man will testify to this She never Tets on' that she has been to any place of entertainment that you are offering her Furthermore, she appears to enjoy if immensely and never fails to thank you for it as ap- preciatively as if 1t were very spe- ciaI treat.
 IT you are serving her refreshments in your own home she never makes the mistake, for instance, of thanking you for cocoa when you are serving ehoeo- late. More likely she asks if you used ror and listens attentively while you dilate upon your pet company recipe.
 She never asks, if you made your dress yourseff?" She merely admits it's chic and tells you how becoming it is. and then if you cenfide that you fTd make it yourself she admires your cleverness with the needle
 She adinfres your domestic arrange n1ents, such as '.your cozy furnish ines,' and does not expand upon hers unless asked. Indeed, she doesn't dwell eonversationally upon any of her newest or most up to date pos sions for the fear of making any one uncomfortable by an obvious contrast.
 She never sees what you don't want her to see. and this is what makes her an ever welcome friend at all seasons. Yet her fact is not Of that peculiar suttelty that makes every one su- premely aware that she is trying to smooth things ovef."

FOR THE BEDROOM.

Since bedrooms have grown to be sane affairs there are all sorts of little comforts which we add almost with out thinking.
 There is the easy chair to be used for the chance bit of sewing or the last minute finishing of the book that won't wait. There is the footstool or the foot pillow for the sIippered feet. There is the bedside stool or chair. which is usually placed at the foot of the bed
 There is the slipper chair, which is the ordinary straight armless chair, rather low. and which is used to sit on while putting on slippers and shoes
 There is the real sewing chair, the rocker or comfortable chair without arms, and the little drawer filled sew ing table.
 And there is the night table.
 Just what is the night table for? It usually holds clock, sometimes a telephone, and always a lamp. The position of tie night table is close to the head of the bed and one night table can be used between two single beds.
 In extravagant cases one is placed on each side of the double bed. The table is stationed in line with the face of the sleeper.
 Modern luxury has made the night table indis pensahle To read in led may not De good for the eyes, buf if is a practice which has endeared itself to the hearts Of many.

 Black satin embroidered in white is going to become a familiar sight to US before long.
 A scarf to be cherished is one of black and gold brocade, banded with heavy fur.
 A smart little fall hat may be made with a cloth crown of deep blue, a mar row brim Of buff and over all a sprinkling of buff velvet flowers.

NO FAVoRs FOR GERMANY.

That Bulgaria is not the only one of the central powers which is anxious to talk peace is indicated by the ap- peal which has been sent forth by Prince Maxinilian, the new German chancellor, asking for an arnistice and the terms of tEe entente nations. and which attitude it is stated is sup ported by Austria Hungary and Tdf- key. If the early reports regardfng this appeal are true it is apparent that while the action of Bulgaria has undoubtedly had it's effects the sue eessfui offensive which is now being conducted by General Foch is likewise causing the enemy to realize that the zig is up and that it is time to do everything possible to get under cover Germany secs it's armies being driven hack every day and it realizes that 1t is only question of time when Ger man soil is going to be reached. It appreciates what it has been doing in Belgium and France and it is anxious to preserve the fatherIand from in vasion, and by speaking now it hopes 10 secure advantages which could not be sought later on.
 It will of course be necessary 10 study the fdil and correct details of the proposition which is made, and for which the central powers were .I,reparing in the naming of new cab met officials. but there is nowhere dis cerned any disposition to let Germany eff lightly in return for peace. The fact Is that Germany and it's allies can have peace. and have it now, on The same terms as Bulgaria but as indicated from Washington there csi he no thought Of letting Germany use the territory which it is now occu- pying and from which it is being driven as lever for securing con tessions. The appeals. however, in- licate the trend of affairs in the cen t-si powers and indicate more plain iy the beginning of the end.

What do you do with the legs of your worn out hose? They may be spun into yarn and made into con- servation slippers, etc.
 Cut off the hem or rib top and cut them round and round into one long strip about three fourths of an inch wide, down to the heel. Rou the ends and sew together neatly. Spin into yarn by drawing it firmly over the sharp edge of wood box. It will curl up round and smooth like yarn.
 Then crochet it into slippers, rugs e!c. Silk hose make very pretty slip pers by finishing the top with some of the brighter colors.
 Cotton hose make nice rugs that are durable and heavy and lie fiat.
 Cotton or wool hose make good holders.
 Cut of foot. fold square and work edge with a buttonhole stitch with some bright colored yarn or sansilk and fasten a ring to one corner They are pliable in the hand, easily washed and do not heat through like cloth.
 They also make excellent dust rags, Cut off feet and whip the legs to- gether, laying them one top to the other bottom. They gather the dust much better than a cloth and are more easily washed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A Proposition Affecting the Future
 Welfare of Norwich.

MT. Editor: Tn the warning for a town meeting to be held Oct 7th is d Cause to appropriate a sum not ex- ceeding $39V0 to purchase land ad- joining the town farm which should be of interest to all taxpayers and citizens of Norwich.
 The land in question is rart of the old John Naples farm which was sold ] few years ago to the Lillibridge Bros, formerly selectn1an and street commissioner. and was sold at a price said to be around sS.000. Since then about half or practically all of the good land has been sold off and all fences and walls removed. The psrs now remaining and which the town proposes to buy being poor stony and hiily land
 Since the farm was first sold it has passed through several hands, the Lillibridge Bres. holding a mort gage said to be $356o against this land. The present owners of the equity ask $70GG for this, the remains of the old farm.
 So that the taxpayers instead Of

HEALTH AND REALITY.


 It is far preferable to remove the dust and dirt from the pores of the skin by a good cold cream nnassaee than by washing the face in hot wa ter.
 As matter of fact it is better new CT to use extremely hot water On the face.
 If. however, it is found necessary to employ if. as in the treatment of blackheads, its use should always be followed by an application of much cold water and an ice rub Whenever convenient.
 Never under any conditions use hot water upon the complexion before go- ing out into the outdoor air.
 When one anoints the head with olive oil fand this loosens dandruffJ the Oil should be allowed to remain on for two hours. Then the head should be shampooed, with mixture of one raw egg to half a pint of lime water fcold). After having rubbed this ir1- to scalp the head should be thorough ly rinsed several times in clear warm water. The lime water must not be heated and if not too much oil has been rubbed into scalp the warm wa ter rinse should remove it satisfac- tofily.
 The person who is not overstrong, who complains about not having any appetite, would have an altogether different story to tell if he or she kept out Of doors as much as possible in zero weather. Fresh air and freezing winter air at that and sparkling sum shine are doing more and have done more to keep humanity feeling fit than all the tonics and elixirs in the world. Only a very foolish woman will dread cold weather, or disdain the joys it offers. On the other hand if she would keep up" and incidentally, keep stronger and younger looking. she will go out every clear day regardless Of the temperature

 The. future of Norwich should Be considered, the cove above Central Wharf is fast being filed and there are now perhaps twenty-flv acres of filled land. which if cleared up, would be the finest situation for factory sites in New England with tide wa ter and railroad facilities.
 A bridge connecting the north end of the dur1fp and the land on tffe west, | a. span of about B feet would bring this hand which the town proposes to bay. and the factories on the dump, to within about two minutes walk. We would then have the ideal sit nation of factory and homes within : easy walking distance and neither in terferfng with the other.
