They're all gOod-lOOking, have
plen y of boy friends, are clever,
have good jobs, and yet none of
them is married.
"They do not look to me for
help of any sort, and we share
equally the expenses of our home.
But / must say I'm little tired
of petticOat government. At least,
I'd like to take it singly, instead
of fivefOld, because the family
includes mother also.
"They never say anything against
my being married, or setting up a
bachelor establishment, but I'd
like to see some of these girls
married before / do that. Why
doesn't the modern girl marry?
BACHELOR BROTHER"
Perhaps your sisters do not
marry because they prefer to lead
the lives of, independent bachelor
girls. Not every female Graves a
wedding ring these days. Many

must be kept smooth and we'll
fitted to the scalp with enough for
a good full wave.
When it is cut properly it can
be styled in any way, and there is
always a softness left at the back
of the neck line.
When the ends are dry and
split they should be cut off and,
when the permanent has grown
out, the hair at the back of the
neck is never left straight. The
small-size curriers' will be quite sat
isfactory to keep them in soft
curls, if the wave does not take
them all in.
For midsummer the long hair
may be done high with clusters Of
curlS on top and a wave or even
smooth effect of the sides.
There is no economy in a poor
haircut, so be sure you go only to
a good shop for all shaping and
trimming.

Your Easter Corsage

IT'S high time your Easter
l. corsage was ordered-if it
isn't already. Flowers are of
special importance this year.
and every well-dressed woman
will be wearing them. AS many
costumes will be more formal
than they have been in seasons
past. corsages can be a bit
more elaborate. Be sure the
elaboration is one of flowers
and greenery, and not one of
too many ribbons and frOth,
however. We suggest that you
wear with black or navy any
one of these: Orchids, gar
denias, roses, violets or an old
fashioned bouquet with mixed
flowers. If your suit is fairly
tailored, make the corsage
small and rather tailored, too.
Small enough to be worn on
the lapel, if possible. Any
bouquet that pulls your cos
tune out of place is entirely
too large, and badly placed.
With beige, again orchids are
lovely, particularly brown
tones. With gray we suggest
deep-toned purple orchids or
violets, and, very often, your
accessories will suggest the
color of your flowers.

large mushrooms round out Il
are excellent.
Hickory, endive, romaine and
watercresS bring appealing salad
greens to tempt the tagging appe-
tites.
othouse tomatoes, large Gu
cumbers and green peppers give q
selection for the mixed salad bowl.
All in all it's easy to make
menus for spring days really
spring-ike.
Many restaurants are featuring
individual vegetable caSSeroles.
One cafeteria combines carrots
and peas, or peas and onions and
bakeS them together in small
brown casseroleS with butter. They
make colorfu combinations. This
is an excellent suggestion for the
meatless dinners.
Fresh peas and new potatoes
would make another possibility as
would string beans and corn, and
peas and fresh mushrooms.
Choose combinations carefully so
that the time of cooking will cor
respond.
COOKING TIME
Among the 15-minute vegetables
are asparagus, young green beans,
broccoli and sliced carrots.
Spinach takes about 8 minutes to
cook. Green peas vary from 10
to 20 minutes. Small green onions
take about 10 minutes OF cooking.
CaulifloWer needs about 20 min
uteS Of cooking.
It is important to time the
cookery of vegetables so they are
served as soon as tender. In many
cases the time of cooking may
vary a few minutes from the table
depending on the size OF the Vege-
tables and their age.
Here are some new ways OF
glorifying the spring vegetables.
The brown butter sauce and the
lemon butter sauce can be USED

Kitchen Gadgetry
SOMETIME ago we heard about
~ colored rubber kitchen things
that were described as perfectly
grand" but when we Investigated
NACAC "CAC uOAAC W NC n0us GNO"
we've found them in one store, and
learned the reason for their long
absence from the shelves. At first
the color ran out of the rubber
onto your sink, the floor or wher-
ever you happened to be using the
rubber. Now all that is remedied,
so again we have cOlOred rubber
kitchen accessories. There are all
the good cOlOrS-green, blue, red,
gray, in mOttled effect-and the
color is said to be as fast as the
rigid rubber itself. Here are some
of the prices, though there are
probably pieces that we failed to
list. Dust pans are CSC; sink mats,

" shaker does many things be-
sides shake up a delicious cock
tail. 1t has an ice crusher, and
the glass of the shaker is thick
and sturdy, so that you won't
break it. The crusher has a soft
rubber handle, for ease on the
hands. Then there's a juice ex-
tractor for your lemons, lines or
oranges. It nests with the Strainer,
right over the top of the quart
bar glass. The strainer is equipped
with an agitator which is operated
by a flip of your finger. That

which is said to be so foolproof
that nobody can spill a drop on

on over it. The whole thing is

Bonds for the construction of the trunk line sewer in the Mad river valley have been authorized al- ready by the 1897 session of the leg islature. City Engineer Robert A. Cairns is now working on two pro- posed routes for the trunk sewer.
 One of the proposed sewers would run through Pine Hill, via a specially cut tunnel. The alternative route is through the bed Of the Mad river. However, to carry out the latter route the city must gain per- mission from the Scovill Manufac- turing company to go through part of its plant. The Mad river runs through a great portion of the plant of the Scovill concern.
 Many years ago the city of Wa terbury began building sewage dis poSal plant in the southern section of Waterbury. The work was not completed. In the meantime trunk sewer from Waterville to the pro- { posed sewer beds has been com pleted. Now the city must complete its trunk sewer through the Mad river valley so that the disposal plant in south Waterbury may De used advantageously.
