Important News Concerning Carpets The cost of all carpet material has been bounding. Labor is securing more liberal pay. ences have affected prices of all carpets. These two influ- Manufactur- ers have notified the trade of a material and justifiable advance. The carpet market is a cheerful phase of brightening industrial and economical conditions. Higher prices are the forerunners of prosperity. The change caught us with an immense and well bought stock and our position is such that WE WILL ALLOW NO HOUSE TO UNDERSELL US or give more liberal terms. Beginning Saturday, March 4, and continuing for one week only, we will make Special Prices on All Rugs, Carpets, Mattings, Oil Cloths and Linoleums Don’t hold the thought that these offerings will con- tinue. You'll be disappointed. When our present stock is sold we see no possibility of similar qualities at the prices that control now. SHEA & BURKE 37-47 Main Street, Norwich ILLUSTRATED LECTURE BY MISS MABEL HAYWOOD Field Secretary Spoke Under Auspices of the College Club. Miss Mabel Haywood of Boston, fleld secretary of the International Insti- tute for Girls in Spain, gave an en- tertaining illustrated lecture on Fri- day evening at the Osgood Memorial under the auspices of the College club. Rev. Samuel H. Howe, D.D., intro- duced the speaker and Dr. W. Tyler Browne assisted with the slides. Miss Haywood drew a picture of the pov- erty of women's lives in Spain, where they are considered too stupid to have any place outside the four walls of home and where there are consequent- Iy no women's clubs, no philanthrop- ics or other movements of the kind. Few Noted Spanish Women, The Spanish women noted in history are only five or six and most of these were of noble birth—as none other could gain an education. The present King—Alfonso XIIl.—is liberal and progressive and a great help to his country. She spoke of the chief di- versions of the people taken wholly without the home. In this, the women are left without reading, without sports and without friends, so that with minds quicker and keener than their brothers they cannot exert the influence for good that they might be able to. The American School For Women. But America has done one thing for Spain in return for being discovered. She has founded the school for wom- en in Madrid. Miss Haywood told the story of the way in which this inter- national institute was started by Mrs. Alice Gordon Gulick. of how her pu- pils were the first women in Spain to take the sovernment examinations, and how she became the best loved American woman in that countr: Since her death others have carrie on her work and her ideals—the pres- ent directora being Miss Susan D. Huntington. The First Woman on the Board. Miss Huntington is one of the very few women ever decorated by the government and the first to be ap- nointed on a board with Spanish men. As teaching is the only work open to the woman above the peasant class which gives her any opportunity at all and as the war is driving the women into some occupation this schol is a great blessing just nw. Miss Haywood told the story of two graduates who are real heroines and Who have beey studying in America to go back and take up nursing and settlement work and teaching the blind. They are girls of noble birth and will be misunderstood and treated with scorn by thelr class, but are do- ing it to set an example—to be pio- neers in helping their country. The pictures showed bulldings in Madrid, Spanish art, and_the life of the people, as well as the Institute building and the students and teachers. Third Telephone Operator. With the establishment of the su- perintendent’s office in New London, the telephone service of the New Haven road has ben extended to 24 hours a day.

A new and mod- ern switchboard is to be installeq in the exchange. Not Equipped With Seats. Miss Charlotte M. Holloway of New London, special investigator of the state labor bureau, received a letter on Thursday from the president of the Trades council of New Haven, Patrick C. O'"Mara, stating that he had visited a number of New Haven department stores and found that they were not equipped with seats for the use of saleswomen, as required by the law Miss ITolloway will go to New Haven within a few days to Investigate.
