What murder mystery is hidden away in Bridgeport for Christmas day we do not know. But this week opened well on the laudanum route—Stamford Telegram. The-Waterbury woman who removed her gloves before knocking down a footpad who had attacked her cer- tainly presents a rare case of deliberate determination, and came out of the encounter without even a split glove—— Bridgeport Union. Winter is no joke for the fireless, the foodiess and the overcoatless. The iceman hates it, the coal man loves it and the fireplug freezes onto it. Still it is the season of Santa Claus and cold though it be, warms many a nat- ure into acts of charity—Hartford Telegram. A progressive. rapid and overwhelm- ing courtship of three hour’s duration culminated in immediate marriage at New London a day or two ago. Pretty lively‘. work for a city that sleeps during the winter months.~Bridgeport Telegram. Mothers of hungry children have been driven to all sorts of desperate deeds but perhaps the most unique case on record is that of Mrs. Bergman of New York city, who looked her chil- dred in a cold fiat while she went out to commit burglary. And still we send missionaries to Africa—Albany Press Knickerbocker. A New York woman has caused the arrest of her neighbor for interfering with her singing. Possibly the alliict— ed neighbor was greatly justified.»— Bridgeport Post. EVE’S RAMBLlNGS. COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG his WOMEN. BY ONE or THEM. The slioplifter’s season is wide open, with plenty of game afoot. The big stores have already bagged a good average of the light fingered contin- geut~euough to prove that they are out in force. It isa noticeable fact that few professionals appear among the numbers arrested, which goes to show that the wary oldtimers don’t like to mix in the rush of amateurs that llock so promiscuously just now. Arrests of well-to-do people are com- mon. Either the experts are shy and being crowded out by the better class or else they are altogether too sly for the detectives. The arrests prove that vigilant and general watching is ad vis able. Wealth and position seem to be no guarantee against the pilfering pro- pensities 'of their possessors. Another healthy fact appears on the surface. Complainants are not dis- posed to settle with high-toned thieves as they‘bsed to be. Merchants are weary of being made the object of at— tack by “respectable people.” Like the patient worm they have turned and refuse to he. the victims of aristocratic kleptomania, as well as its more vulgar relative. theft. The way to insure future exemption is to prose- cute the thief without regard to social position or the spelling of the word that fits the crime. Send them all to prison. The Christmas season draws nearer and pretty fingers are plying the needle more rapidly than ever, prepar- ing the dainty gifts to surprise some loved one. Nothing is more acceptable to the housekeeper than the dainty embroid- eries on linen now in vogue. They add so much to the beauty of the house, to the attractiveness of the table, that they are dear to every wo- man’s heart. It is not everyone. who has time to give to the making of thesevl‘olllarming accessories, and so when they come in theeform of a gift they are most accept- ablejw ~ Centre cloths worked in some artistic design of floral effects in utheir' natural colors. or in pure white. as fancy die tates, are very beautiful when edged with Renaissance lace.

An old baChelor says a ' woman’s tongue is an organ WithOut stops. Absence, as a rule, makes the heart grow fender—of someone else. A woman never hurts amanvso much as when she criticises his clothes. How easy it is to tell women how to make money. What we want to. learn is how to keep it. ‘A woman never seems to be so happy as whenshe is dwelling at length upon her ailments. . Friends are friends until their purses instead of their protestations are called upon to make good. 3 Did you ever know it to fail that when white thread was required you only had black in your work basket? The man who is most extravagant in his personal expenditure is the one who is always preaching enconomy to his wife. chat 2 It generally happens that just at the time when a woman needs most to be particular in her attire that she is most careless about it. Some persons appear to think th at the true definition of the word critical is to see no good in anything ‘they- do not do themselves.

There are others besides prophets who are not rated at their true worth in their own country, says the Youtli's Companion. A boy who grew almost to man’s estate in a semi-rural com- munity went into the great world, and became famous as a lecturer and writer. Unspoiled by fame. his heart often turned to his boyhood home. On one occasion he found that in passing from one lecturing point to 2111011le he would go through the old town. and that he would have time to pass. a whole day ,there. Accordingly he wrote to one of the principal men of the township as follows: “Dear Friend: Being about to pass through my native town and having 3 day at my disposal. I should be great- ly pleased 1.; greet; my old friends and companions of earlier days: and i know of no better way to do this than to make. an appointment to talk to them at the old brick schoolhouse next Thursday evening. I shall be happy to give them my best lecture, entirely free of charge. Iuvilo every- body.
