Clerk of Town Court.
"The resignation of F. A. Hill as clerk
of the Town Court will create a vacan-
c in that Office, and already several
0 .undidates are in the the field as Mr.
Hill’s successor. Sauth N orwalk has
two in George H. Vosburgh, Jr. and
William F. Tammany while East Nor-
walk presents Leo Davis.
The salaries of the court amounts to
$3,000, of which amount South Nor-
walk residents now draw $2,000 while
N orwalk will have but 8500 when Mr.
Hill retires.
From this it would seem that Judge
Frost cannot afford to appoint one of
the South Norwalk applicants to the
clerkship and thus give that city $2,-
500 out of the $3,000, and if N orwalk
has no candidate it would be no more
than fair to allow East N orwalk to en-
joy'some Of the benefit derived from
the court.
Femldine'Chat.
HOW rarely we feel as sleepy in bed
as we do in church. ‘
A woman’s throat, like a horse’s
teeth, is a. certain indication of her
age. : '
The youthful masculine cynic would
be funny if he were not so horribly in
earnest.
To_'realize the cruelty of time just
look at yOur photograph taken-in a hat
that was the acme of "fashion a few
years, ago. -
To make every one assume :a bored
air. j‘ust' begin to relate your experi—
encesin Europe or tell them of a new
horse or house that you havebought.
When lovers begin to talk about the
time “when we shall only be friends”
you can rest assured that the break is
very near, and one or the other is
already tired of the present relations.
The plow horse in the remote subur-
ban districts forgets his staid reputa-
tion and becomes quite coltish over the
appearance of a trolley car in his
neighborhood.
Why will'women evince such a par-
tiality for caramels when gold fillings
are such expensive luxuries ?
Why will people insist upon being
neighborly when your house looks as
though a cyclone had recently visited
it 2’
“‘Don’t expect to find a purchaser in
a girl who chews gum,” was the com
ment’ of a disappointed saleswoman:
“she is too intent on what is in her
mouth to make up her mind in regard
to anything else.”
When a woman gets so used to heart:
ache that without the pain she would
feel as though she had been slighted
she has arrived at an enviable state,
but the hardening that comes with it
robs her of much of her feminine charm.
ltalways seems as though some fiend-
ish‘ work makes us blot the prettiest
handkerchief we own when a horrid
common one, about which we don’t
care a fig, goes through all sorts Of mis-
haps, coming out absolutely unscathed.
A A-‘
Basket Ball.
Two basket ball games were played
in Music hitll last night. The first
game was between the St. Joseph’s
junior team and the East Norwalk
school team. The game resulted in
favor of the former by a score of 4 to 0.
The second game was hotly contested
and was between the St. Joseph’s and
at Stamford team. The latter won by a
score of 17 to 15. In the first half of
the game the score was 8 to 9 in favor
of the visiting team.

Would Make No Mistake.
Judge Russell Frost Of the Town
Court would make no mistake in ap-
pointing Attorney Leo Davis as clerk
of the court, vice Attorney Fred A.
Hill resigned. He is a bright young
lawyer and would fill the office with
credit to the court and himself.

Wilton.
The Book Party at the home Of Mr.
A. W. Me'rwin on Friday evening ex-
ceeded even the expectations of the
guests, which is high praise. Nearly
every one present were some more or
less elaborate design to- represent the
title of some well knowu book. Among
the many very clever fancies might be
mentioned Miss Marian Olmstead, who
wore a quantity of bells of diiferent
sizes to represent “Sweet Bells Out Of
Tune.” Mrs. Francesca Nesbitt who
wore a number of placards giving glow-
ing accounts of our hOped for victories
against the Spanish, which certainly
were“Great Expectations.” The let<
ters S. A. on D. B. Ogden,s back were
rightly guessed to typify “The Essay on
Man.” Rev. W. D. Hart, showed a pic-
ture of himself feeding chickens which
was “The Recreations of a Country Par-
son.”and many others were equally
clever. Each guest was furnished with a
card and pencil and was invited to guess
as many of the titles as they could. Miss
Katherine Sturges was the most suc-
cessful making 45 correct surmises out
of a possible 67. and was awarded a
handsome volume of one of Frances
Burnett’s latest stories as a prize. A
dainty luncheon was served, and every-
one had a most enjoyable evening.
About $15. was realized for the benefit
Of the Wilton Library Association.
Little Willis Ralston is slowly re-
covering from the effects of his recent
accident by which he fractured his
right leg just above the ankle.
Joseph MacMahon is convalescent
from his recent severe illness,
While St. Clair Ackerman was fool-
ing with Foster Burr on Tuesday the
latter threw an old tin can which struck
the other boy in the head infliCting
quite a Severe scalp wound.
Miss Ethel Bett’s fine dog Jack while
out walking with his young mistress
one day last week was struck by a
train and instantly killed. Jack was a
good dog, and his untimely death
is keenly felt by all of the family.
Selectman Sherman Morehouse who
has been dangerously ill, . is reported
as slightly better at this writing.
Rev. William E. Hacker is visiting

mouth, Conn.
Mrs.T. F. Gilbert and Mrs. A. W.
Merwin attended, the annual meeting
[of the New Haven branch of the
Woman’s board of missions in that
city on Tuesday. A most interesting
and instructive meeting is repor ed.
Miss Mary Merwin, of Brooklyn, is
the guest of Mrs. A. W. Merwin.
Mrs. James A. Kehlbeck, of -N_ew
York, is the guest of Frank Comstock.
Mrs. Frank Mitchell, of New Britain,

The early prediction by some of the
LallUl‘S and importers, that the long—
ski: ted coats would prove very popular
this season, has not yet been fulfilled.
The model has appeared upon a few
very special cloth costumes designed
for tall women. most of these elabo:
rately braided. But the greater por-
tion of stylish and natty coats and
jackets are short, and not a few ac-
companying tailor costumes are in the
little EtOn bolero and» similar styles so
These, like-
wise, appear en suite with summer,
suits of pique, line’n, gingham, cham-
bray, and like materials. ‘
