HISTORY REPEATS.

exactly one year ago yesterday-and ii was last night that the snow fell in earnest-that the first big. three-day storm began. to be followed. as We all remember, by q winter of almost in cessant snow-storms. Trolley cars and trains were thrown off schedule and the workmcn whom it was neces- sary to call out began their all-winter fight to keep thc highways and the walks clear
 Today hy tn" i'm" thls appears in print much of the snow that covered the ground this morning will have disappeared owing 10 the rain that followed. But the carly-morning sight Of the ground covered with that fresh, white snow, was one to remem- ber the pleasure Of which, however, was marred by the realization that it's coming meant more distressing strug- gles for many in all probability, although it meant, also. extra work with extra rccompense for some.
 There is a great significance in the first snowstorm of the year, and the person who does not consider some of the results that come from it. some of the thoughts it suggests. must be very busy mentally with other mat ters. The cost to the city yearly that comes from the snow appeals to the practical at once. And in this con nection it will be remembered that our board Of public works did creditablo work last year in keeping the streets comparatively clear. even though much extra cash had to be expended The lessons learned last year win un- doubtcdly prove Of value to the board this year.
 The first snowstorm, followed by slush and rain as it has been today, brings also fuller appreciation for the wonderfully splendid fall we have had. Many unpleasant days will come before we have a right to complain Of the weather in New Britain in the last months Of 1923. People should meet tho discomfort now due with less complaint than had the fall months been rainy and cold.
 And then comes the practical thought Of beginning now to keep the sidewalks clcar--not to allow there to accumulate foundation upon them which win make them slippery sll through the winter This for the sake of those who may be injured by falls on them. and, in practical way. for the sake Of the citys pockctbook from which comes. annually, much money to justly meet the bills Of per { sons who have bprn unfortunate enough 10 suffer damages because Of 1 slippery walks
 But more important than an does 1. tbe first heavy snowfall. the first in- . dication of what we must expect for i a few months at least. suggest the ! thought that this is the time Of the 1 year when tine poor arr most unhap- l by: when their needs arc greatest: l the time when those who are Of mod l crate means should do their utmost { in thought and deed 10 remember 1 those whose means are not sufficient { to protect themselves. their old and their young from winters coid.

Domestic Science Committee
Wat, WOman's Club Meets

The Domestic Science committee
of the Waterville Woman's club held
their regular meeting Monday after
noon at the home of Mrs. Harry
Weber at 20 Burleigh street. After
the business was disposed of, Mrs.
w. S. Simpson Of Fairfield read an
interesting and instructive paper on
Household Art" 1t took up art in
its different phases, then went on to
the construction of home, telling of
the necessary rooms with their use
full and artistic furnishings, laying
particular emphasis on the influence
that color gives to the home beauti-
full; the paper on the walls, the rugs
on the floors, the draperies at the
windows and the pictures that adorn
the walls should have a fitting rela-
ton to each other to make perfect
shade. Even the flowers and the
vases that hold them were shown to
have a wonderful effect in assisting
to carry out a charming color
scheme. 1t went so far as to suggest
that the gowns and other home ap-
parel of Milady should harmonic in
the color schemes as much as pos
sible.
The paper was very ably written
and showed much taste and deep
thought with hard study to bring
out all the splendid points Of the ar
ticle. The kindness of Mrs. Simpson
was, very much appreciated by the
Domestic Science committee.
About 80 members were present,
including Mrs. Mabel Brown, presi-
dent of the Waterville Woman's club,
and several other visitors. Delicious
refreshments of chicken, mashed
potatoes. jelly and pickles, a real
Thanksgiving pudding for desert,
coffee and assorted nuts were served.
The entertaining hostesses were Mrs.
Weber. Mrs. J. W. West, Mrs. C. E.
B. Walker and Mrs. George Williams.
The next meeting of the committee
will be at the home of Mrs. o. N.
Hubbard, "a West street, December
8. At this meeting a waterless cook
er will be demonstrated.
