let me hear from you during my last

MRS. STODDARD
 AT ART LEAGUE

The Keramic department of the Bridgeport Art League Is to be con- graduated on the rare treat 1t gave it's members on Wednesday afternoon when Mrs. s. D. Stoddard, of Hart ford, an artist of rare ability and wide experience in Keramic decoration and original designing, gave a talk and exhibition of her work.
 She showed a number of pieces and the choice of designs fitting the forms of china were most effective A porch or breakfast set was great ly admired. A brilliant color scheme in golden yellow scarlet and bands of old Chinese blue with perfect technique made it marvel Its set ting was an ebony tray.
 Other beautiful pieces in hard enamels were handled with skill and were of unusual color. Mrs. Stoddard has a keen sense of color and the touches of exquisite color shades she gives the articles are of rare quality She also showed some beautiful dec orations in gold.
 Her talk was instructive as well as entertaining and many of the mem bers greeted Mrs. Stoddard with en. thusiasm and interest Mrs. StoddarG showed that the useful can also be made beautiful and so bring more joy | into every day life.

NEW BOUDOIR ROBE.

Behold the new boudoir rig! Of a fact, Solomon of old was not arrayed in such splendor. A gorgeous, ethereal bit, it is in one or two pieces.
 Assuredly, it can hold it's own in the face of any, and all, rivalry, sec ing that it's slip-on simplicity, and comfort of shaping, are made so un- usually decorative by means of an absolutely straight underrobe-(cut in one, with short, wide kimono sleeves)-of double chiffon, first pur- pie and then white, and an over tunic, equally straight and loose, of white brocaded velvet, with Chinese medallions applique in purpIe-pat- termed chiffon, says the Philadelphia Record.
 The whole thing is weighted into position, as well as beautifully finish cd off, with a heavy fringe of crystal beads. The hOod-shaped cape can either be drawn up on to the head, or allowed to hang low down over the shoulders, and, In either position, is a most picturesque adjunct to a robe which will surely give grace, as well as ease, to its every wearer.
 It can be copied. too, most success fully in darker colorings-say, rose and purple. with a device of silver in- terwoven into the purple brocade, and bordering fringes of silver bullion as finish, another beautiful scheme being the blending of jade-green and faintest star-sapphire blue, with crv- stal and silver broideries and fringe
 But indeed, there are endless possi- bilities in the way of colorings to give worthy effect to the really beautiful contours of the gown.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

The first accurate measurements of the Niagara River from lake to lake, with the height of the falls and the fall of the rapids, were made by Andrew Ellicott, a pioneer Amer ican Civil engineer and astronomer, who was born in Bucks County, Pa, 165 years ago today. He was the founder of the village of Ellicott's Hills, near Baltimore. He early de- voted himself to the study of sciences and practical mechanics. He com manded a battalion of Maryland militia during the revolution, and afterwards was a close associate of Washington and Franklin. After sur veying the Niagara and parts of the boundaries of several states, he was employed by the government to sur vey and lay out the city of Wash ington. Later he laid out the towns of Erie, Warren and Franklin, Pa. In 1912 he became a member of the faculty of West Point, and in that capacity he made astronomical ob- servations at Montreal for carrying into effect some of the articles of the treaty of Ghent.

THE FASCINATION OF FUR,

F'urs have always had a tremen- dous fascination for women. Now they are telling Us of one coat for d society woman costing s75,0OO. The girls must even have fur In sum mer. The dumb beast, through some gift of evolution, sheds his long hairs when the sun climbs. The girl of the period, when the thermometer ascends to the nineties, still buries herself in a burry stuff built to shelter a shivering beast exposed to zero weather.
 High prices prevailing in the fur trade have stimulated trapping and shooting all over the country. Bur lington, Vermont, the center of a fairly well settled community, ships 75,O00 muskrat skins a year. In towns the life of poor Kitty is nc longer safe.
 The country boy is stirred to the roots of' his being by the predator5 trapping instinct. Now it is furthe, whetted by high fur prices. He may weep when his mother asks for . basket of wood. But he'll walk mile! to visit his empty traps.

 Mrs c. Nathaniel Worthen, chair man of military relief work in this city, was delighted with the response to appeals for workers on laundry bags. The Bridgeport Red Cross headquarters at Seaside Institute has a call for workers to sew on a million buttons on refugee garments that are piled high awaiting to be worked upon.

Mrs. Worthen wants the cooperation Of women for all kinds of work. Those who will operate machines are need ed and those who will sew on the but tons and run the hundreds of strings will find a pleasant and patriotic task
