'NEW.BR|TAIN WOMEN
 . IN NOVEL BUSINESS
Make Things at Home and Sell
 Them Through Agent

Helpins to support their families, while the husbands arc out of work, or adding to the family income even when the husbands are working' he' tween Ca and 75 New Britain women are helping to solve the high cost ol living by making the fancy things which appeal to both sexes, and selling them from one central point through an agent.
 From DoiIies to Pie.
 The New Britain Womans $ EN- change, is not business in the sense of buying and selling merchandise. u is a business in the sense that house. wives mothers, etc, have devised a plan whereby they may market home made articles ranging all the way from linen center pieces edged with cluney lace. to the famous New England squash pies, and at the same time do away with the humiliation which sometimes goes with the selling of amateur made goods.
 Variety of Articles.
 The exchange held an exhibit in the store room of John A. Andrews and Company, Saturday. Mir. Andrews having donated the use of the room. In this exhibit Saturday was seen em- broidery, tatting,. knitted goods, etc, running all the way in price rom a S32 center piece, or q SIC hand paint cd china vase down to a hand em- broidered apron for S250. There was a collection of crepe de chine lingerie that brought gasps of admiration from the hundreds of women NlSloors needle work of almost unsurpassab'e quality held it's place among the eN- hjbits. There were hand painted candle sticks beads of wood and wax ornamental baskets, artificial roses, poppics and other flowers and whole array of nice things for "kiddies.' Even "Icats" Were There. But not the least of the whole out fit were two regular dining tables piled high with layer cakes, covered with generous quantities, of cocoanht arh chocolate icing, cookies of the kind that can't be made in factories pies ranging through the whole list from squash to lemon meringue and home made fudge and other candies.
 Women Make the Price. These things the women rnake, put their own price on, and take them to Mrs. Leila Jones' who conducts a lodging house at 162 Main street. Mrs. Jones puts them on display in a room she sets aside for that purpose, and sells them to purchasers at the price placed thereon by the maker plus a stipulated commission.
 Any woman in the city is entitled 10 bring things here to sell, but Mrs. Jones reserves the right to accept only those of the best quality.
 A concert was rendered in the after noon, during which Miss Grace Kemp ton, of Rarncsdalc, rendered several vocal selections. accompanied by Mrs. LeMay, at the piano.

right in the middle of winter?" Mas ter Meadow Mouse wanted to know.
 "Because" Uncle Billy declared hotly because somebody has gone and let Peter Mink know where we are spending the winter. And it's not safe for HIS to stay here any longer"
 Master Meadow Mouse couldn't help feeling guilty. Still. he hoped he hadn't made as great a mistake as Uncle Billy would have him be- lieve.
 "1ye heard" he ventured that Peter Mink can squeeze through any hole that's big enough for his head. But surely he couldn't get even his fiat head into one Of our passages.
 He can hurrow in the snow." Uncle Billy snapped. ''He can and he will. Hen come sniffng and listening all around here And when he finds likely spot to dig, down he'll go through drifts and crusts until he reaches the stubbe." Uncle Billy shook his head and drew d long breath. Young man. he said, yonNe g0t us lntO a neCN or ITOuDle, This whole village has to move. Don't let it happen again.'
 By that time others of the villagers had gathered round and heard the news Of course the news spread fast And in a surprisingly short while, the Meadow Mouse family was on it's way to the mill pond. Everybody set to work-everybody except Uncle Billy Meadow Mouse. He was very busy telling al the rest what to do. though he didn't help half as

 Bacon and eggs are favorite breakfast for many persons. re make the bacon crisp keep pouring off the fat or brol under the flame and catch the fat in a small pan di- rectly under the bacon. This keeps the entire broilcr from being covered with bacon fat,

This keeps the steam in and makes a white coating over the yolk. Never fry eggs in pure lard Drippings of bacon or ham or even pork crops or beef are much better than lard
 Poached eggs are very quickly prepared, but require great care. An iron spider is perhaps the best utensl for poaching unless regular egg poacher is at hand.

 She had asked the same question every day that. Dr. Petit reported to her. and he had given her the same answer, a laconc No" But today he added cryptic Not about him, !" stressing the pronoun ever so slightly.

OVER BRITISH
Walker Cup Golf Play Furnishes
Excellent Competition and
Plenty Of Thrills.

SOUTHAMPTON. n. Y, Aug. 30.
American golfers Overwhelmingly
defeated golfers Of Great Britain for
the Walker cup when they won five
out Of eight OF the single golf
matches yesterday, which added to
their victory of 3 to l in the four
somes yesterday gave them eight
victories in twelve matches.
The American team proved
stronger at SO holes than at IS, for
during intermission the domestic
group led in four out Of eight
matches, but for the day they pre-
vailed by five to three. against the
invaders.
Except for Jesse Guilford's being
two down to Cyril Tolley on the first
round. the Americans weakness was
all at the bottom Of the list, the three
last matches standing in favor OF
the foreigners at luncheon.
On the second Is holes Guilford
turned defeat into success, but Mars
ton and Fownes again lost and so
did Sweetster, but not until on the
thirty-seventh hole.
The most dramatic development
Of the day was the wind up Of the
Sweetster-Hooman match, which
was extended to thirty-seven holdes.
There Hooman, close to the invaders
won In the extra hole, after
Sweetster. Metropolitan champion
got far off the line into a thick, tall
hedge, from which he was obliged 10
pitch among a fleet of parked auto
mobiles. Consequently. he was
eventually obliged to surrender.
The scores for the first half Of the
thirty.six holes were: T. r. Jones,
jr., up on Roger Wethered; Charles
(Chick) Evans, 5 up on John Caven;
Francis Ouiment, up on c. c.
Aylmer; r. A. Gardner, up on Will

Be Decided at Meeting at
at Union Station Field.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Standard on. hot on the trail OF
the General Accounting Office club,

Section B leaders are stacking up
against the Washington Gas Com

In the other Section b game listed

Washington Gas Is not expected 10
halt the General Accounting lads to-
day as the redoubtable Lem Owen Is
available for box work in the event
the Gassers get gay.
What is most absorbing to the

eral Accounts team. To all intents
and purposes it will be Lem Owen
for Accounts. against Finney Kelley.
Outside Of that 1t will be pitchers

Tomorrow Shorty" Hughes and
II. J. Doyle are down for handling
the decisions. The game will be
staged on the Union Station field and
there Ia every reason to believe that
the banner crowd Of the series will
he on hand to watch the proc sedings.
In the event that General Accounts
gets the upper hand II 10 possible,
unless another club has a mathe.
matical chance to win. that the COM
mittee in charge Of the games will
declare a winner. There Is, however,
a fine opportunity for Standard OIL
to come through and tie up in the
battling.
