 Lieutenant Harmon obtained a leave of absence last July to obtain the best of medical advice on the nature of his illness. He spent some time in obtaining care here and in New Haven. After convalescing dur ing the past summer at the shore, he entered the Holy Family hospital in Brooklyn, N. Y., where X-rays were again taken, consultations held and operations performed. He has been in the New York hospital since last November. On the urgence of friends and relatives he Is returning to Wa terbury, where he will have the op- portunity of greater social contacts with his old time friends. Chris never lacked for Waterbury company in New York, for members of the local police department always took advantage of an opportunity to visit him. Scores of friends from here and other cities found time to visit him. They always found Chris con- tented and confident of winning the fight.
 Lieutenant Harmon, according to police records, is senior lieutenant of the. Waterbury police department. He was formerly in charge of the old time vice squad.

 Rev Joseph Valdambrini was elect ed to the board of directors, which includes the officers of the organiza- tons and Mrs Robert F. Griggs, Mrs c. Sanford Bull, Charles P. Kellogg Alfred l.. Hart, John A. Coe, Jr Frederick s. Kellogg, and F. Dutton Noble.
 The receipts were $35.533.15 for the year, with disbursements $35,- 47l.O7. The annual report of Will liam M. Harris, secretary, which is his second, follows:
 My second annual report comes to you the midst of a business de- pression in which Lincoln House has made available every resource of money and personnel to alleviate suffering and distress in this com munity.
 "It must be a source of great satis- faction to those who have labored 21 years in building this organiza- ton, that it was prepared to func- tion efficiently in this great emer- gency.
 Twice As Many Cases
 'sFor Il months in 1880, without increasing the size of our staff, we carried as many cases as we ever aided before in any one year. Unem- ployment and under-employment were the principal factors in bring ing these people to Lincoln House. In November, committee of six, ap- pointed by Mayor Frank Hayes, sur- veyed the situation and reported that i. was beyond the resources of the social agencies. The Mutual Aid Un- employment fund was incorporated and on December this agency was able to turn over many of its em- ployment problems to that organiza- ton. During the survey our work CTS cooperated with those of the other social agencies in the commun- ity in Investigating unemployed con- ditions. At the present time, the re- lief committee is referring to them cases that need investigation and so- cial planning.

THE BEAUTY
BOX

Travel along the highways
and byways of a big city, and
scan the faces of passing wo-
men. Most Of them are good
looking and we'll dressed. Few
of them look happy. Is the
modern woman sick of herself,
or what's the matter with her?
Does she smile up when she
has the right kind of audience,
and let her face go any old
way when she isn't on special
parade? An unpleasant facial
expression is easily acquired.
Best to be face conscious all
the time, up to beauty snuff,
on the toes.
Ladies mustn't get lip habits.
Biting the lips is bad business.
Relaxed lips, slightly open, sug-
gest stupidity and the adnoid
expression. Lips pulled down at
the corners won't get one any
kisses. Pursed lips are worn
by little Prudies. Unn1indful-
ness of the lips will destroy
the beauty and contour of the
most perfect Cupid's bow.

In your case it seems to be
a question of the half loaf or
no bread at all. If a woman
accepts such treatment from a
man to whom she is not even
engaged, she's pretty sure to
get nothing better. A little
more independence of character
is the medicine this young man
needs, but the question is will
he take it from you? Another
woman would quote: whats
sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander," and get away with
it, but I'm afraid you've been
too indulgent, too much in
love to try that now. You'll
have to take your choice-put
up with his occasional atten-
tion or be more independent,
which may drive him away
altogether.

She is, lost his wife and was
left with four children. Because
she was sorry for them, my
daughter began doing things
for these children-taking them
to the park on Sundays, having
them here to supper, and
making some of their clothes.
She has always spoken of their
father as more or less of a fail
ure. But pity seems to have
done its fatal work-she has
fallen in love with, this man
who really has nothing to recon-
mend him. To make matters
worse my husband and sons
constantly abuse him. Don't
you think if they had paid no
attention to her queer fancy in
the beginning, that her in
terest in him might have died

DISAPPOINTED MOTHER.
It seems likely if no notice
had been taken of your daugh-
ter's kindly interest in the wild
overs family, it might not have
developed into a love affair. We
are all given to squirting the
newest of our hobbies which
later on we take more calmly.
And as you probably have
noticed in other families, the
surest way to make ones daugh-
ter m ar ry an undesirable
is to abuse him. Just pick on
the young man you'd rather not
have for a son-in-law and you'll
find you've only been keeping
a chair warm till he takes his
place in the family circle.
A Potent Force
Why? Because you've started
that most potent of forces
pity-to work. "Pity is akin to
love-" says one poet and an

Let the family get busy
knocking and the most un-
promising young man becomes

same thing with daughters boy

and would rather not have them
around as "permanents," go
slow on criticism.
Few are Clever
If you don't, daughters lively
imagination will invest them
with qualities they never pos
sessed. From a curious, instinc-
tive sense of protection that all
women have, she becomes an
ally and defender.

one way print and plain color
can be combined. But it's a
good example of the softer,
dresSier, dress-type of jacket.
It's a one-piece dress with a
skirt of plain color and blouse
top of print. The jacket that

closes low enough to show the

sleeves are three-quarter length,

Shorter sleeves are some
thing to watch for on many OF
these jackets. Some Of them
are even shorter than the one

a sleeveless dress. But that, Of
course, is a better spring fash

A Gracious Thank You Note
DEAR MRS BEECKMAN:
I have received gold piece
as a Christmas gift from a
client of the firm for whom I
work. I would like to write a
letter to this firm-the head
is a woman-thanking her for
the gift. AS I have only met
her once, is this the correct
thing to do? How shall I word
the letter? A. Q.
Yes, by all means you should
write a letter to this kind Wo-
man for her goodness and
thoughtfulness. Something like
this might suggest a form to
you:
My dear Miss Matthews:
How very kind you were, and
how very thoughtful, to include
me in your Christmas plans and
to make me so happy by your
goodness to me. I thank you
with all my heart for your sweet
graciousnesS.
The beautiful shining gold
piece is a precious possession
and already I have planned
wonderful things that it will
buy. When I have decided just
what is worthy of it's gracious
offering I shall take such pleas
ure in telling you of my deci-
sion. May I have this oppor-
tunity?
May ever. hour of your new
year be full of happiness, Miss
Matthews you so deeply and
highly deserve it, for you are
kind to others that this kind
ness should be a boomerang on
your own life.
Most sincerely yours.

the discovery that she had. a
half-sister, the reclaiming of
Kitty from the depths of Tenth

Right now they're a fine fash

They can be wool or they

Right now the silks and the

Wool crepes, silk crepes,
