A number of N orwalk people went to
Westport Sunday on the Tramway line,

been quadrupled had the fare been five '

A. Place for Dress Waists.
In these days, when space is a mat.
ter of deep importance in one’s home
and bedrooms the young housekeeper
has to devise all kinds of makeshifts
i to'i'eplace the wardrobe and drawer
space to which she has been ac-
cus‘tomed. Couches are to be had made
so that the top turns back easily and
discloses an air-tight storage space
where nice dress skiyts may be spread
out at length and still be as accessible
as if hung in a wardrobe. And now
some one has solved the problem'of
where to 'put the betrimmed dress
waists so that they shall not be crushed
and still may be quickly gotten out,
thus giving further relief to over-
crowded closets. '
Brass bedsteads are now made with
two dust-proof drawers underneath.
The length of the drawers is the same
as the'width of the bed. One drawer
opens at the upper end of the bed,
and on the opposite side the drawer is
at the 10wer end. The pleated valance
to match the draperies of the bed is
fastened separately to the‘front of the
drawers, and when they are closed
they are not noticeable, as the folds
hang together, and the lace-trimmed
bed-cover falls over the top of the val-
ance. The drawers are so made as to
clear away any dou-btspf those who
may object“ to the idea on the score
that they may become close and stuffy.
There is a' space between the closed
top of the drawer and the bed, thus
allowing ample__circulation of air all
around—New York Sun.
She Was All Heart.
Mrs. Tawker—“I was at the the-
atre last evening. It was an awfully
sad play about a man being thrown
out of work and his family dying
from starvation. I couldn’t keep from
crying to save my life. I don’t know
when I have been so affected.“
Enter Servant—“Mum ,there’s a we-
manat the door as wants some cold
victuals. She do say her children
haven’t had a bit nor a Sup fer two
days.” ,
Mrs. Tawker—“Tell her to go away;
that we don’t give anything to beg~
gars. As I was saying, Mrs. Brown,
it was a very sad play. Mr. T-awker
says I ought not witness such per-
formances, they take hold of me so.
He saysvthat I am all heart."
