“Reveries of a Bachelor.”
Ho w it must wrench the finer feel-
:ings of our friend Rodemeyer, incorri-
gible old bachelor as he is, when he re-
flects upon the singular coincidence of
those little Cleveland children going
,and getting the measles just at the mo-
Irnent when the Harris )1]. children had
"their noses put out of joint.
We don’t want to be hard on Rode
~ .cmeyer in that he is still an old bache-
.lor and grOwing older, more timid and
-“sot”every day. We realize it is simply
ibecause he could never summon cour-
age enough to “propose” to the myriad
rfair damsels to whose worth and beauty
‘she has paid court, that he is .as he is.
.But he never did know how to han-
.dle a live baby, and gets rattled when-
ever he touches or considers one, as vide
this excerpt from his last. night’s newsy
Newsr-
“The little baby born a few week:-
3161106 to Mr. and Mrs. William Shep-
. ard, of South street, and which passed
through such a crisis soon after its birth,
is getting along nicely and growing
healthy and fat.”
Nevertheless, With these fine sunny
,,..days, how Rodemeyer’s big, tender,
loving, heart must leap in exultation
and joy over the lots of glad, bright-
.eyed babies and tots to be now seen in
the streets.
Whether dad gets new shoes or ma a
new bonnet is not so important as that
the youngsters should be adorned in
They toil not,
— neither do they spin, but Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed as are these
tots. \
No wonder Rodemeyer ismade glad
[and still has ’opes.

Bank Improvements.
The rich and fanciful decorations
made by the National Bank of Norwalk
last year for its own banking rooms
and also for its tenant, the Fairfield
County Savings Bank, have filled all the
other banks of our enterprising city
with a burning ambition to go and do
likewise. Of course, during the last
two years of free trade prosperity the
banks are the only business institutions
which have been able scoop any large
a‘eserves, and these large surplusses
.always tend to extravagant expendi-
tures. But then “times are’nt now as
:they usad to was been,” as the sage
Madam Partington rnmarked. Banks,
.of all other business establishments,
.must of necessity, be attractiveupleanly
.and orderly, even to the extent of the
.highest decorative art.
The Norwalk Savings Society’s bank,
the oldest, largest and strongest of
LNorwaIk’s three safe, thriving and just-
.ly trusted institutions for savings, nat-
urally takes the lead in the matter of a
proposed rejuvenation and high art
.de0oration. President Holmes and
‘Treasurer Miller have practically set-
tled upona plan of refitting wall em-
.bellishmentaftcr the latest designs of
iterior adorning, which when complet-
ed, will put the gaudy and warty walls
of the Bank of Norwalk to blush.
The next one in line, and very ap-
propriately, is the prosperous and
steady-going Central National Bank,
whose stock rates in the financial mar-
kets of the world away up above all its
local rivals.
Its President and asthetic Cashier and
Teller, have yearned for long, “for
something better than they had known”
hitherto, in the way of a light, airy
and handsome banking room. New
furniture and fixtures, electric lights
to replace smoking, lamp-blacking gas,
redecorated Walls and ceilings, are em- .
braced in its comprehensive purpose 'of
,,.regeneration and refitting.
'-.When these contemplated reforms are
-~-consummated andCt-ngressman Hill gets
the tax off our National Banks’ circula-
tion, all will be happy, the aquatic bird»
with wide webbed pedals will swoop it
high and the great waitingpublic will
hope and pray for a five per cent. rate
- of discount, ten per cent. dividends and
. noon closing Ln Saturdays.
