JOHN AS THEY WENT
 TO THE BIER

Bridgeport kiwanians put one over on "OId John Barleycorn' last night They officially buried him before he is actually dead. It was declared by
 many a nasty trick, but the old boy
 took considerab ble time to pass away,
 and the few who were shocked at the
 idea of formally committing his re- mains to the sod, before he actually
 had expired, were somewhat placated
 when all were allowed to pass around
 the bier"
 The funeral services were held in
 the ball room of the Hotel Stratffeld, and the New Haven Kiwanis club and
 their guests over 100 strong, were the
 guests of the Bridgeport Kiwanis club at the ceremonies
 There was some doubt as to the patients actual death, so pr. T. F. ScanIon acted as coroner and after an autopsy, declared poor John was PTS per cent. alive. This being the case, all were again permitted to pass around the bier"
 Close to 25O Kiwanians and guests who attended the services wept bit terIy at the passing away of their old l friend Last honors accorded him were of the highest order. He was | laid in a beautiful plush casket with 1 "Gates Ajar'' at the head and lilies 1 on his chest. Rev. E. T. Buck l ingham officfated at the grave. l "Smoke' Bill Arnold, disguised as the 1 eldest son and Mrs" F. IT. Aber- 1 cronabie was the widow. The grave l diggers were A. F. Eccles, T.

Palmer thought he was instru- mental in urging Mclean to vote against us. He is now converted and is an ardent advocate for our cause. so now ask him to convert Mclean"
 Mayor Clifford B. Wilson was wei comed the great friend of the suffrage cause and was given a great ovation when he declared he hoped the women will try hard enough to importune Gov. Holcomb in calling a special session, so that the women may vote in 1920. The mayor de- clared his belief in the state ratif1- cation at once, and said, Many changes have taken place since the war. Social conditions and new so- cial orders must come up.
 The new problems will test the Americanism of every individual and we look to the women to help in the reconstruction because they can assist in more ways than one."
 Over 200 delegates attended the | meeting. Miss Caroline Ruutz- Rees | made the welcome address at the morning session extending hospitality | to the members of the Fairfield l County Women's Suffrage association | and the guests of honor of the day. | The addresses were made in a large | open tent on the lawn in the gardens, | an attractive spot, shaded by large | trees. with the fragrance of blossoms | and flowers in the atmosphere. | Most gratifying reports were made ! by the county chairman at the busi- ness session and accounts were given of the citizenship drive from the var | ious towns. A most dainty luncheon was served at 1 o'clock in the attract ! i've dining room of the hall which was | decorated with daisies and careopsis. The afternoon session opened with a | report by Mrs. Emerson Newall in charge of the county drive, and she | appealed for a greater interest in the campaign for s10O,OOO.

WOALAN'S SPHERE.

The home, dull preachers prate, is
 woman's sphere; If this were so, at life we well might
 jeer. Is woman's nature bounded by the
 fence That runs around her male mates
 residence? Is the one equatorial line she knows The line on which she pegs his shirts
 and hose? Man is a mighty force; now, here's
 the rub Can the deep sea flow from the
 washing tub? Can he who calls himself the Lord
 of Earth To a domestic drudge and slaves owe
 birth. Say "Yes," and what's the best that
 we have got, But just the skimmings of a kitchen
 pot? If man, the son of woman, is to
 rise, Then woman, too, must reach up to
 the skies. The worlds her sphere, or how can
 it be ours? The mother is the measure of our
 powers. Coop her, and we are all of us cooped
 then, For never yet was eagle born of hen. Take down the fence, give her
 boundless zone. If not for woman's sake, then for our
 own. HI. F. E.

Personal Notes
 Entertaining Features

Custom was somewhat departed from last night, because the wake was not held until after the funeral. It was then the property of 'Old John'' was divided among his friends, who made merry with their former com rade's possessions.
 The regular schedule of Kiwanis meetings was followed and the roll was killed, each man announcing his name and business. New Haveners took a few s1aps at Bridgeporters, and the local products came back strong
 Frank Braithwaite sang a parody on the ice question.
 The wake lasted far into the night and despite the fact the dead man had been apparently buried, several of his closest friends remained with the bier" until daylight.

FASHION NOTES

The revival of the lingerie frock is an assured thing.
 Dark blue and currant color com bine most effectively.
 Practically all suits arc made on simple straight lines
 Evening turbans many times hide every particle of hair,
 Berthas and fichus are worn with the tightly fitted waist,
 The dance frock is not complete just now without fringe.
 A smart suit, dark in color, has collar and cuffs of krimmer,
 Black net gowns trimmed with blue ribbon and pink roses are very French in character.

MRS. FINLEY J. SHEPARD.

Mrs. Finley J. Shepard. formerly Helen Gould, will today celebrate her birthday amid the well wishes of thousands to whom she has given a helping hand in all sorts of financial and other troubles. Back in 1912 no one ever thought that the then Helen Gould would ever marry and she was frequently described as the worlds wealthifst spinster But Dan Cupid overlook her in a rail- road wreck. Finley J. Shepard, a comparatively poor railroad official, and Miss Gould were passengers on a West Shore train one day in Octo- Der. 1912. They had known each other but there was just a friendship between them, that was all. How ever, when the train was wrecked d MT. Shepard's first thought was for Miss Gould. When he had assured himself that she was safe he went about helping others in need of aid. The coolness and bravery of the rail- road man aroused Miss Gould's ad- miration. and Cupid, alert to the op- portunity, aimed one of his darts and they have been living happily ever since.

BEATS
 EFFORT TO STOP COMPETITION
Delegate Defeats Attempt To Make Canadian Lines
 Charge Higher Freight
 Rates

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-Delegate George B. Grlgsby yesterday defeat cd an attempt in the House of Re- presentatives to compel the Cana dian lines operating between Alaska and Eastern American points to re- duce their freight and passenger rates.
 The House was considering the measure to return the railroads to the owners and amending the Inter- state Act, when Congressman Albert Johnson of Washington introduced an amendment making it unlawful for United States carriors by rail or wa ter to participate in through trans- portation from American territory through Canadian territory to other American territory at less rates than might be authorized by the Inter- state Commerce Commission between the same points over American lines. The effect of the amendment would be to eliminate the benefits of Can adian competition between Alaska and eastern American points. Dele gate Grigsby opposed the amendment in vigorous speech on the floor Of the House and succeeded in defeating the same.
 The amendment was twice ruled out of on points of order, but it's supporters finally got it to a vote, which was against it.
 Steamship people attempted to get Senator Miles Poindexter to propose a similar amendment to the Cummins bill in the Senate but failed.
 The bill providing for the return of the railroads to their owners was passed by the House late last night.
