was passed. It was also voted to widen

presiding. Among the important sub-

the riding bicycles and other vehicles

The Sunday Dinner.
The Sunday breakfast is later by half
anhour to an hour, and is from several
ounces to a pound of food heartior;
then the one or two o’clock elaborate
dinner is substituted for the light mid-
day luncheon of the rest of the week.
Supper becomes a meal of highly sea-
soned salads—scallops and the like—
with usually a preponderance of sweets
that-is also quite at variance with the
food eaten the rest of the week at that
hour. At bedtime there is often a de-
, sire for a little more nibbling, which is
really a. form of indigestio’h’, brought,
about by the surfeit of the day. A
three months’ trial of duplicating the
weekly meal service, both in kind and
hour of partaking, on Sunday would
convince the most sceptical of its by"
gienlc value. Any presentation of this
subject has to consider the prominent
element of the domestic arrangement,
but, it is perfectly possible, even in a
one-servant establishment, to [plan a
Sunday menu with regard to the maid's
rest on that day as well as to the con-
venience of the mistress.

Blue and White Foulard Gown.
A gown of dainty simplicity is of
corn-flower blue and white foulard,
The skirt is a six-gored model, which
is adapted especially. to foulard silk,
and is made over a silk foundation
This skirt embodies a pretty idea for
the 'use of fiounces. Three ruffles of
graduated width trim it from the front
seam, sloping upward, and passing en;
tirely across the. back. The ruffles are
stitched on with a piping. The corsage
combines several new features of the
season. The‘surpfice drapery, which
crosses from both sides, has the ends:
bloused slightly over an opening of the
bodice, made to show a contrasting-
color in. the vest beneath. The left end
is attached by a fan shaped bow, which
also finishes the band encircling the
waist. The low pointed neck is framed
by a “ruffle revers” that follows the
direction of the fichu in ' front and di-
minishes each side of the pointed
plastron behind. The back of the
waist-line is ,drawu into tiny pleats.

telligent W‘orkman,
Philadelphia has a ' Chinese brick-
layer. ‘His name‘is Lee‘ Chang and he
is a real credit to his employer. Chang
works for Edward Clayton, a West
Philadelphia contractor, and there is
very little about a building that he
can’t do. Although Chang’s method
of working is rather peculiar, he is;
nevertheless, active and artistic. Of
course, he is the victim of no end of
jokes and sarcasm, but he takes every-
thing good-naturedly. The ambitious
Celestial star-ted to work for Mr. Clay-
ton about three years ago, and ad-
vanced so rapidly that he was able
to compete with any of his brother
workmen after serving two and a half
years as an apprentice. Chang is es-
pecially talented in “turning“ arches
and building corners, going as high as
plastron, the vest, and the high collar.
The closely-fitting sleeves, made with
the tiniest puff at the top, are trimmed
at the wrist with a ruffle turned back
- from the hand.
The design of this little gown is an
excellent one for batiste, organdie‘, or"
challi, as well as foula-rd or taffeta.
The skirt measures three and ahalf
yards at the foot, and the proper cut of
the gown can be obtained from the -' cut
paper patterns oissued by Harper’s Ba~
za’r, where it appears. The back gores
are Shirred in several rows into a small
space. It may be lined, if preferred,
with silk, satin, lawn, or percaline, al-
’ though it is more customary to make
such a gown over a drop skirt. The
latter, if made plain, is finished with a
facing of silk about five inches wide,
interlined with a light-weight canvas.
The outside material has a facing or
hem about the same width, interlined
with a thin crinoline. This is sewn by
hand with invisible stitches 5 _

.en “cc..:'.;.'2s~" at a time without trying'
the plumb rule. His fellow—Workmen
.‘cz‘ten take delight in “rushing” him on
a rough wall, but the agile Chinaman
often makes them regret the attempt.
The apprentice boys have a warm
heart for Chang, and he is very liberal
with his knowledge “of tricks of the
trade," and doesn’t hesitate to teach-
them the proper ways of working.
He believes in the old maxim that
"actions speak louder than words,”
and teaches ambitious apprentices by
illustrations. Chang’s ability to read
plans "is little short of marvelous. By
attending a. night school of architec-
ture he became quite proficient in that
line, and by perseverance and close ap-
plication he soon' learned to under-
stand the most intricate drawings.
Chang has no desire to return to his
native country, but hopes some day
to be a contractor.—Philndelphia

A Chance to Get a WheelFree
i 0R ACE A. SAU NDERS has been selling bicycles for
over seven years.
In that time he has sold thousands of wheels, and his
guarantee has ever been found as good as a bond.
" umi
Eveiy wheel sold by him is of first-class workmanship
D
and of the highest grade.
For nearly two years he has been in business at his
present store, N o. 12 North Main street, South Norwalk,
and has been most successful, his large sales increasing each season.
(Jae reason for his success is that he is firm believer in printers’ ink and
uses it freely and to the bestadvantage, believing that keeping everlasting-
]y at it is bound to bring the desired result.
His. business thus far this season has surpassed his most sanguine ex
pectations, his sales being something enormous in the bicycle line.
. He is not yet satisfied, however, and proposes to stir up the riders of the
Silent steed by givmg away one of his bicycles to the most popular wheel-
manor wheelwoman in Fairfield county.
