ASHLAND COMING TO
 PLAY McDERMOTT's BRAVES
 Thomas McDermott and his aggrega- tion of Grosvenordale Braves are out to sustain their reputation Sunday after noon when they will meet the Ashlands of Jewett City at 3:30 on the North Grosvenordale grounds. The Ashlands were the first team this season to de- feat the Braves. It was on the Fourth of July that the Grosvenordale boys slipped a peg in a hard fought game and went down to defeat. This was on the home grounds of the Ashland nine Manager Tom is determined to reverse the story Sunday afternoon when the Ashlands come to visit him and he is predicting a lively tussle. At third base he will have Billy Manning. an old fla vorite who has often appeared ih a uniform. Naming replaces Hughes. who has left the Grosvenordale team to join the Akron, Ohio, team of the In ternational league, The fans have re garded Hughes as the fastest third sack CT that ever ripped around the dia- mond in this county. and his loss might have been a big blow to Grosvenordale had not manager Tom been able to secure Hughes. Pitching for the locals will be either Greenbaugh of Tunney. Greenbaugh played a good game last week against tIle WdSHltlSlOu All oldiS though he was not called upon to show how much stuff he really has. Tom Phillips who was out of the game last week because of an automobile acci- dent will probably be in uniform. The Ashland manager will probably pitch Liberty an old timer with a big repu- tation.
 Sunday afternoon the Manhassett team of Putnam will meet the nine rep resenting the Leland Clifford Manufac- turing Company of Worcester. The Manhassett boys have been playing good ball and have had difficulty in ob- taining teams that were fast enough to oppose them. The Worcester manager promises a lineup that will make the loacls work. The game will be on Man hassett field at 3:15.

arc new and attractive, and she puts some
beautiful handwprk into each piece. She
will get an order To dress young child,
or perhaps two or three of, different ages
She unakes her sketches, shows them to
the mother, brings her samples, and then
takes the necessary measures. That is all
until time to do the fitting, so far as her
employer knows. She returns at a stated
time with the partially fitted wardrobe,
and makes the final trying on. After that
she finishes the work in her own studio.
She charges an extremely interesting
price for this sort of work, but neverthe-
less size has all she can do.
This same plan is worked out in other
ways. Some W. m n undertake the sewing
for school girls o. ,ebutantes, planning the
entire outfit. OF course there is much
training behind such work. But there are
girls who have an extraordinary instinct
for clothes, and who, with sufficient
manual training, become expert designers
and dressmakers at short notice.

fession you should try to make it pay well.

THEIR WINTER CLOTHES.

Many persons are holding off the pur-
chase of various sorts of winter apparel
believing that a general slump in prices
viii take place. Now of this you may be
s,lre-that there will be no slump in such
articles AS children's standard grades oi
underclothing, stockings, or even In
standard good quality shoes. In the
meantime IS every reason why yon should
make your purchases in advance of your
actual demand. If you wait to buy your
childrens clothes until cold weather is
actually at hand you may first be re-
minded of their needs by cold. Then il
is always harder to buy under pressure
than at your leisure Possibly the sort of
thing you want will have TO be ordered.
When YOU need it Immediately you have
70 take something that isn't exactly what
you want
Flannels are still expensive, but there
is every reason why you should get good
quality wooden underwear for children.
Except for infants, silk and wool Is not
necessary, good quality cotton and wool
being Just as satisfactory.
Recently the fad has spread for wooden
stockings. OF course they have advan-
'tages, especially for the boy who is of an
age TO be careless Of rubbers. The young
child-during his first and possibly his
second winter-doubtless needs the pro-
lection of woolen stockings. bait after that
the heavy but soft cotton grades are those
very frequently chosen. For one thing
they wash very much better. Moreover
woolen stockings are often uncomfortable
and irritating when worn IN a well-heated
house. If woolen CATERS and stout shoes
are worn when the child goes outdoors
there il really little need for the woolcn
