trimmed with apanglos and embroid-

used on both thin and medium heavy

Too many women dress in the shadow
of a curtalned room and than go out
into the sunlight believing other peo-
ple see them as they saw thentsclvos
in their rooms. it would be better to
throw up the cnrmlns and lot in the
sun at home, so the defects would ho
apparent to thc person most lntcr-
estcd in eradicating them.
This sonnonublc recipe. rhnhnrb jel-
ly. is from The Designer: Soak. one
honplng tnblespoonlul of golatlne in
one-half a cupfnl of cold Water. Take.
one pound of rhubarb, wash and cut
in small pieces. If tender it will not
need to be. peeled; if not. perfectly ten.
dor you can peel it. Make a syrup
with one cnpful of granulated sugar
and one-half a cupfnl of cold water;
to this add the rhubarb: cook until
louder. then add the dissolved gela-
lln‘c and the juice of one lemon. Take
off fire. pour into a mould, and set on
too to harden.
One of the most stunning things in
wraps that have been seen is of white
cloth. licavynnd long. it encircles the
llgnre and has one end. which
thrown over the shoulder.
vy, the wrap hangs beautifully. but the
most attractive part of the garment,
or the noticeable feature which matter!
it attractive, in a sort of indian decom-
t‘mn on the. insldc; it suggests immc.
diatcl-y lndlunwork. There in a band
cloth. hcavy and'long. 1t encircles the
wrap and also of cloth; combined with
this is it line of bright yellow and one
of black. in the corners of the wrap
the cloth in the colors is carried into
sharp pointu or rays.

Effective picture frames have the
inundation of the outer bark of a tree.

Among the old-fashioned looking

Corset covers and skirts combined
have the waist llttod snugly and bound.
They slope off into the skirt like a

not even a strap over the arm, and the
waist fits on snugly that they are not
necessary.

ANNUAL AUDUBON MEETING.
Norwaik Members Present at Satur-
day's Section in Stamford.
.On Saturday lost the annual meeting
of the State Audubon Society was held
in .Stdrnfdrd. Considering tho inclem-
optwenthcr a fair representation from
c Nortvalku was present. ..
t he hull wits filled with an cathuutas-
tic audience. Dr: [10113, of Stamford.
gave the address of woluomc and ex-
procscd many reasons why it was a
pleasure“ to welcomc such an audience.
He looked upon those who loved nun
studied “God's people of tho nlr"~--tho
birds. as among Glue. host people of the
land.
This address “1! ably responded to
by Mrs. Mabel Os‘good Wright. of Fair-
i‘lcld. who resided over this meeting
as the pros dent. .
Mrs. William B. Glover. of Fairilcld.
than road a very lntnrostlng rcport of
tho year’s work; travelling libraries
on bird and. nature study.” and bird
charts have been purchased and given
to the Stain Board of Education to be
distributed among the schools. The
demand for those librarian is greater
than the: supply.
More new members will aid the work
of this good cause. as one adult incur
her pays 81 once, and becomes a life
member, while school tenchors‘ fees
for tho samn privilege is twentyllve
cents. and children under eighteen
years of age pay tcu cents.
During the past your 1.562 new mom
hers have been gained. 94 of whom are
adults. Twenty dollars has boon ox-
pendcd for watchmen to protect the.
gulls and terns along our shores.
The secretary emphasized the none-
iits of tho birds to the formal-s and me
great advantage to all people in the
study and protection of the birds as a
moons of cultivating the finest ucnsr
billty and refined tendencies.
Charles 1). Hind. secretary of tin:
Status Board of Education. thou ad-
dresucd the audience upon The Educa-
tion Work of Tits Society. He said
that be heartily lndorsed this work as
an excellent one to introduce into the
lives of the school children. believing
that it made. them better children and
consequently better scholars; it was
direct education on the hearts and cmo
tions of the children and the. speaker
told of personal experience in thirty
schools in this worn; the great value
of teaching the children to obscrvc.
The reading book which is rapidly \.l8'
appearing from the school and havinn.
a decent burial. in one that could be
rcplnccd by :1 book with instructive, ln~
terosttng reading about the birds.
The work of this society was cer-
tainly being‘cnrried on earnestly and
intelligently and now only in its in.
fancy. Great benoilt could be, derived
if the children could learn in a scion-
tiiic way and such work would make
an excellent equipment and ability to
see accurntcly. No other subject but
the birds givcs just those opportuni-
ties..- right thinking and right impulses
will result in right doing. Chlldrcn
will learn thcir obligation and dutieu
to the birdn and have the right motive
toward them: maiden it is n genial.
bright and pheasant aubject. One of
the highest and boat worku of the
school is to train the child to think ox-
actly and correctly and to think and
prove. The bird subject with all its
lntoiloctnai and emotional stuns do-
sorves our highest cstcom. The birds
tench but do not preach.
At the conclusion of Mr. illncn's ro-
marks. Frank Chapman favored the
audience with an illustrated lecture up
on What is Mount by the Colors oi
Birds. It proved intensely interesting
and instructive. but it is not host to
try to quotorfrom it as one should son
tho illustrations as well an hour the
lecture to make It complete.
incidentally Mr. Chapman said no
longed to see all live ubdvo tho mil-
iinory ago, as many of the bonnots
are a trial to us who luvoand desire
to protect the births. Mr. Chapman
heartily endorsed the Audubon Society
and said that. such a good cause do

support of all. ‘ . ' ‘
