A's we have really emerged from the dark gloom of the last week and have experienced the unutterable delight of emerging and have been overjoyed at two. such perfect days of which this mundane sphere can be endowed, at times, by the capricious clerk of the weather I think I am justified in ppeaching a little sermon to my in- dulgent readers. It is passing strange how that pestil- ential disease known as “blues” will passxaway and evaporate under the bright. rays of the beautiful sun; it mastheabad case of melancholy in- deed,"_whiclt will not succumb to this powerful remedy. ‘ Mydear. girls I hope the majority aijmu have cast off the indigo cloak with which you have been involved of into and have said “Begone dull [care li prithree begone from me.” It is a very hard thing after a holi- day, such as Memorial Day, to buckle dorm to work again as some of us must. Thc'cewwholare business women feel it mine than the sisters .of leisure be- cause of the indomitable force of cir- .Rumstances. But for all that, we, each and'every- Run of us enjoyed Ourselves Memorial Day. Did we not? . ' - - Somehnfus attended the opening of Norwalk Yacht club and witnessed the yacht races which are more than. in- teresting and then in the evening we danced by the light of the moon and were refreshed with the sweet things Rflife. There were others of us who wended our way to the cool and restful Dorlon’s nudism there drinking in the beauties surrounding and perhaps meditating Dnthe pleasures of life. And others did likewise .at the quiet family club- ’Lnouseknown as the Knob, whose beau- tiful grounds are the delight of all who “arisit there... And those of a gayer turn of mind, exuberant Of health and good spirits, were Seen at Roton Point along the beach and in the pavilions. Everyone seemed on pleasure bent, and why not? Memorial Day was of coarse set aside for a purpose, that of humming the dead heroes of our much Zmrarl country. But human nature is nut ppone to sadness, and decidedly not, under the exhilarating effect of cool, refreshing breezes accompanied by the. bright sunshine Of Monday at the. man y._ pleasure resorts surrounding a nr. beautiful Norwalk. Let us have light hearts rather than sad .ones and enjoy the world which was made for us and in a manner com- mensurate with that end for which we were created.

Winter clothes are doing more than .p‘dinary duty. _ . , ' Country, houses and spring flowers are alike opening slowly. Corn planting and the blossoming Of the. dogwood go together. Men often prate of their honor at the expense of a woman’s heart. Patriotic girls are making flag [pil- ’mvs and filling them with gun cotton. Don’t judge others by your own per- sonal standard of right and wrong. Let us suggest that certain failure awaits the woman who thinks it is an easy matter to alter the sleeves of last season’s Shirt waists to the present A young lady from out ’of town who was visiting Norwalk for. a few days and remained over Memorial day re- marked that every where she went she hard people talking; about which way I * .

Are there any cities that look at- tractive as you “approach them by train. Ministers on very high salaries have been called professional good men. Woman was , born to love and be loved, and she fights it out on that line. C , It is wise not to forget that there are some things that should be forgotten. War and the weather are the two engrossing subjects of conversation these days. It is a very timid woman who looks under the folding bed for the much dreaded man. Real old timey book muslin is to be worn by young and old women alike this summer. Life is not necessarily more joyous to the pretty woman, but the plain one always thinks it is. .

It May Be High Whoa One to Esthetlo and Want: Something Unique."'n The aesthetic person who desires a. unique door handle for his favorite room must pay for theprivilege. For- ty, fifty, even: seventy-five donars may he the cost of the first door handle made after -a new pattern. The metal’f'i's worth perhaps only a few' cents, but the labor co'Ines high. First the archi- tect draws the design and Submits it to the manufacturer that is to finish the handle. He turns it over to his mod- eler, who makes an exact pattern of the handle and lock in clay or plaster. Every line that is flat in the design is raised in this pattern, and the more elaborate and intricate the decoration the more difficult the work. The pat- tern is'then given to-the man who makes the mould, or oftener several moulds joined together, known as gates. These are usually of plaster of paris, and the molten metal is pour- ed into them without in anyway affect-- ing the plaster. When the metal is cool the handle is taken out, a thing of beauty and ex- pense, for the architect, the pattern maker, the mould maker, and the man who pours in the metal must all be paid for their work. The first door handle only is thus costly. When the mould is once made the price of a. door handle decreases according to the number made, SO that the five hun- dredth door handle costs scarcely more than the metal put into it.—New York Sun. —-Everybody Talks of the Klondike.
