SLOANS LINIMENT Kill Pain V THAT NEW HIRED GIRL FAMILY IS ABLE TO BOAST-OF A RFAL TREASURE. Promptly Secured Before She Had Time to Rales Her Figure, and *- Given Chance to Recover Her Evidently Lost Nerve. The charm bee worked again. ,,We advertised for a servant girl, one who would appreciate n home of refinement, where she could have her afternoons and evenings off. with no washing, no ironing, no ■crubbid'g, ncu baking, no mopping, no nothing. She came. She came in radiance tilth a new bet fluttering Jauntily over her left ear and descending In a broad but graceful sweep over her right brow. A mere touch at the door-bell and her pretence was announced. We knew the moment Vfe saw her that she was the long espect*'d. We ushered htr Into th« darkened parlor and gave her A seat On the long sofa, right near the abeet of tangle foot. In fact, she was welcome to two seats, but she politely yet firmly declined. Wc thought she would, but,' thcli. Tc wanted to rhow h;r right ^cm the first t^jt we were of a gen* erous disposition. - - No. the* would not remove her hat or her gloves or even her veil. She preferred to remain incog, ao that In case of a disturbance she wouldn’t have to prove an alibi or reveal her Identity. It was a very difficult mat ter to approach the subject of wages. One glance at her was enough to tell that she had been neglected In the past. Her gloves were not automo bile gauntlets, nor waa her veil one vf tho Nile green variety that blooms On the.back seat of a-red-flyer. Her •klrt waa -not a riding habit. Her bootees were not built for long cross country tramps Her gold-headed um brclla waa not a golf stick. Wo could hardly bear to look at her and think that all her life she had beep deprived of all the opportunities that any domestic nhould enjoy. No doubt she hod spent her evenlpgs In tho kitchen, estlng bakery cookies and rending the faphion hints or toasting her shins by the nl«L of the eiectrlc toaster. X Naturally v. o dropped cur eyes to the hardwood floor, where they lit with a thump This startled her and sha dropped the suggestion that some folks have been known to exist on 111 a week. Before she could boost her figures, we had her telephone'for her trunks, nnd now she is safely located In the front'anttto upstairs, with free arenas to the sleeping* porch, so that she 'ngn reebver a bit .of her lost nerve.-—George F.

In the drive, which requires the fullest swing of sdy of the strokes except perhaps the brassy shot,, the shaft of tho club at the top uf the swing should not go beyond tho horizontal. There Is another point that woman players, even experienced ones, are apt to neglect, and that is tbs rules of the game.

The Courant is the oldest newspaper In America with a record of continu ous circulation under Its present name. Thomas Green printed the first copy 12 years before the Declaration of In dependence was signed. The news paper printed that document as a mat ter of news July 15, 1776, “thanks to a speedy courier, w ho made the trip from Philadelphia In only 11 days.” A record of American progress and a history, of Connecticut and Hartford Is taken from the Courant files for thq special edition.
