Pkins for the bazaar are rapidly being put in execution, aud without doubt, it will bo sucli a success that it will become an annual aifair. Of course, the connnitteo expects to bftve a lar^'c nundier of purchasers from (he town people, but this will be a grand opportu nity for yon to get Christmas presents for all vour friends.

AVe have learned that “bobbed” hair is olli- eially recognized by the state of Connecticut.

We. then have a detached working basis of criticism. .l''ashion is like the weather, it is all right if everything else is up to par, but bad if one gets umler it. Hunmn weather is simihu' to the elements; as weather ciuuiges, so does iashion. T’ashioii will always “take a tnrn” toward extremes. Tlie fashion in liieratjire in i>resent times i.s toward realism. It was \’astly diHerentin tlie ISlli century when sen- timeutalisu! ruled.

Vet in poetry and literature tliere is one ]ioiut of coiifract ami simihirily. This is the appeal to inntgination : as seen in the great literat\ire of tlie Bible.
