UNIQUE METHOD OF AN
NOUNCING ENGAGEMENT

We read recently in one Of the cur
rent magazines how young lady an
nounced her coming marriage to q
party of friends. The method was
80 unique that we herewith pass it on.
The young lady in question invited
her friends to luncheon at her home.
The only decoration was . huge bowl
Of flowers in the middle Of the tss!!ss,
SO not one Of the guests suspected the
"news" until they looked at their
place cards.
The bride-to-be had cut from jewell
ny catalogues q watch for each person
and then pasted each cut-out watch
on piece Of heavy white paper Of the
same shape, folder fashion, and then
fastened It to Q strip Of khaki paper,
50 that It looked like . soldiers wrist
watch. On this strip was written:
1.-THE Man in the Case" When the
guests opened the watches. they found
on the inside Of the folder a snapshot
Of the hostess and the man to whom
she had promised to marry.

HOW 10 HANG PICTURES

Nellie N. Killgore, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.
Hang large pictures with two wires
and two hooks. Small sizes need q
aingle wire run from center Of pic
ture to hook at moulding, or may be
fastened with push tacks
Let picture rest fat against wall,
by attaching wire near top Of frame
instead Of one third the way down.
Hang about on eye level, usually
with lower edges on q line.
Don't hang too many. One medinm-
sized picture to wall space is
enough.
Large pictures in heavy frames
should not be hung in the house Of
ordinary size.
Don't hang on figured wall paper,
it detracts from effect Of picture.
Hang similar pictures together, for
example water color doesn't look
well next to Photographic print.
Dark pictures are better hung In
darker parts Of the room and vice
versa. Il

STREET URCHlNS BEG
 FROM THEATRE PATRONS

Gimme a nickle, SOS I kin see de show, Mister?" This has been the pleadings of many a little street urchin to almost every patron Of the local playhouses in this city at one time or another. These little urchins, nee-hieh to a grasshopper, are to be seen night after night in front of the theatres and many is the kind hearted man or woman who hands out a niciile or a dime to these youthful beggars.
 Do they spend the money to see the performance? They do not. They pocket it and lie in wait for another bit of easy money. This fact was proven by the following conversation which took place between two of the youngsters the other night, in front of one of the theatres:
 How mUcha got, Shrimp" asked 6 little fellow Of his even smaller com petitor. Got six bits (75 fcents) some swell guy dropped me Q quarter, D was the answer. Gee, but yOuse is the lucky guy. l only got two thin ones tmeaning two ten cent pieces).
 The question is this. will these little fellows become the prosperous and re spected citizen of tomorrow, or will they take the line of least resistence .O acquire q living?

POLICE CHASE AND
 CAPTURE STOLEN AUTOMOBILE

With the Norwich police hot on the trial, an unknown man or men who ran away with the automobile of Cur don Watson of POS Willetts avenue. of New London, were compelled to aban- don it in this city Saturday night a little after midnight, and the car was recovered. MT. Watson came here on Sunday morning and took his automo- bile back to New London. thanking the Norwich officers for their alertness in recovering the stolen machine.
 Capt. D. ]. Twomey at police head quarters received word early in the evening from the New London poli Q that the car had been stolen. He was given the number $500 and was told it was a touring car with black body and red wheels.
 He had the officers on the night beats on the lookout. A little after midnight Sergeant A. c. Matthews spotted the ear headed down Thames street from Thames square He tried to halt it but the driver only put on more speed and disappeared down the street. Headquarters was notified by telephone and Capt, TWomey sent Of fCer r. Murphy in the auto police pa trol to chase it down Thames street and another policeman on foot to go along High street from the West Main street end. The captain figured thai the men in the machine would have to turn up High street from Thames be- cause West Thames street is closed by the work going on there now.
 His surmise was correct for the Watson car vas found abandoned and backed up against the curb part way up the High street hin. The wheel marks showed that the men had run ii part way up the hill and then stopped and backed it to the curb where they left it. They evidently took to the woods to the west of High street for the policemen saw no one coming along along any of the streets in the neighborhood.
 The automobile was not damaged.
