Experience proved this theory to be unsound. Meetings of the common council were just as tedious and just as exhaustive as previously and finally the steering committed" was permit ted to die, and there were no mourn CTS at the bier.
 According to popular rumor tho male part of the world is about to see girls ears again. For several years the girls have kept their ears hidden un- der a loop of hair which has been trained to curve gracefully down and up again, covering the ears complete ly. Now comes word that ears are to reappear, that the hair must be trained up where hair ought to be and there is woe in girl-land, or that part
 
 in the present style.
 Ever since early history woman has been poking fun at mems ears. The Observer doubts not that Eve rldi- culed Adam for his ears. Man had no defense. He was forced to admit thu truth. and that was that his manly beauty was not enhanced by the two projections on the sides of his head. Mans ears are homely anyway and fortune awaits the person who will invent a patent attachment, not too conspciuous, which will pin them back and out of the way.
 However, even that poor lowlN worm known as man will have his day. Wait until the girls wear their hair on the top or their heads and men secure the first glimpse of their ears in cons and cons. The female ear is almost unknown and the only reason men have for taking its pres enee for granted is that the girls usually say yes when they are asked 70 have a soda or go to the movies. Perhaps. after all. the girls have ears 'oually as homeIy as the mon. Nobody knows. of course. just what they do lock like and the ~tjstery will con- :i1ue to be deep and dark until Dame Fashion says: Comb 'em up girls "

Money talks just as loud on cleo ton day as on other days, and, as The Observer predicted short time before November ?. the democratic party didn't even whisper on election day.
 It will be noticed that the republi- can party was well supported by man ufacturels and business men. This IS a natural thing for No-v England man. ufa tlr-crss tG do. Thy believe firmly in a tariff which will protect Am eri- can-madc goods from com petition by low-price manufacturers in Europe and New Britainites showed they had the courage of tn air convictions by coming through" handsomely when the hat was passed. True, soma main- tained d hands off policy as indicated by the absence of their names, but for the greater part they stood by their guns and their pocHC ;DOOks.
 Among the names of the contri- bu1ors was that of Florence Gates Judd It is believed that this is the first time woman has publicly con- tributed to d local political fund and Mrs. Judd can take pleasure in the thought that sh backed the winning ticket with her contribution of s25o.
