An Interesting Chapter Read By Pro fessor w. T. Blake-A New HaveI Hero And Patriot.

Am Interesting chapter Hea0 Hy Fro.
 lessor w. n. Blake-A New Haven
 Hero And Patriot.
 A most important chapter in the early his tory of New Haven was read by Professor w. T. Blake at the meeting of the New Ha- ven Colony Historical socity at their rooms in the State House last evening. The paper by Professor Blake was entitled ''Extracts from the autobiographical memoir of Captain Jon athan Mix, jr., of New Haven, 1775-1815." It was a pleasant qualification to the mem bers and friends to examine the objects of interest so beautifully displayed on the walls of the fifteen rooms and in the four cases. The rooms were filled with an appreciative audience After clear and plain account of the ancestry of Captain Jonathan Mix, jr., showing his descent from one of the first founders of New Haven, the reader told of the formation of the first military company (the Second company Governors Foot Guard), formed on receipt of the news from Lexington and at the beginning of hostilities and bloodshed in the war of the revolution. Each member of the company had notice from the captain. In three hours the men were ready and on the line of march. Theirs 
 were stationed in Cambridge and effectually counteracted the plans of the British. Ordered afterward in command of company to go to Canada under General Wooster, Captain Mix was disabled by serious accident and was obliged to return. His next work was in privateering and the forming of the first American navy. Many brilliant actions and efficient ones marked his work on the sea. Numbers of prizes were taken and many British naval vessels crippled and captured. At the British in vasion of our city July 9th, 1779, Captain Mix, in the most intrepid way and with unfinch- ing courage, withstood the approach of over whelming forces His daring escapes were miraculous. Most of the reading was from the captains own writing, modestly relat- ing facts of much importance and thrilling interest. His fervent acknowledgement of Gods care in his wonderful escapes was par ticularly noteworthy. The horrors of i'm prisonment in the Jersey prison ship were graphically told. He was sole survivor of twenty-two soldiers captured with him. His participation in the war of 1S12-15 showed indomitable courage and full realization of a home for our own people and the op- pressed and worthy of every land and cline. No compensation for him self and the losses of his family was made to him. His heart was full of thankfulness for the prolongation of his life to see his country with it's liberty established and first among the nations of commands in the country's service during the war of 1912-15.
 A unanimous vote of thanks was heartily extended to the speaker. It was one of the most valuable papers ever read before the so- ciety.

She will give most bril- liant exhibition of lyle pyrotechnics until you are ablaze with admiration of her musi- cal culture, and then follow it with simple such as the "Last Rose" in the close, gliding, legato style, where her pure, clear expressive tones penetrate the heart. Having won your admiration, she captivates your affection as we'll.

Many plush pelerines are worn this
winter by ladies who adopt the warm,
servicesble chamOis jacket as an under
waist. With a good deal Of wadding
these cspes are made nearly as warm
as those of fur. There is now added a
very deep rolling collar, and often the
fronts are cut in "stole" fashion,
which lends added protection. In color
the pelerine usually matches the
costume worn with them, or otherwise
to correspond to that Of the dress trim
mings. The new thick, shaggy plush,
closely initiating natural beaver, is
much used for both short coats and
pelisses. Jockey caps and muffS are
shown to match for skating uses.
4 writer in an English fashion jour
nal expresses much surprise that at a
recent opening at a large establishment
in London, trousseau for an American
bride was quite as elegant as any
shown for English ladies, and, in fact,
was made in a perfect manner, which
seemed to grieve this lady very much.
She doubtless thought that common
place needle-work and less perfect fin
ish would be quite good enough for
such a market. The time has gone by
when the mistakes and insists are sent
here for customers, and the Americans
abroad have displayed good enough
taste to set the seal Of responsibility
upon the orders from this country.
A pretty though simple bridal toilet
has the foundation skirt of white satin
clinging ever the hips, round and short
enough to show the tip Of the shoe.
The front is trimmed in the shape Of a
tablier, with white lace slightly en-
broidered with silver braid. The sides,
composed of white lace, are slightly
draped toward the train and fastened
under a cluster of orange blossoms.
The bodice and train, cut all in one
piece, were Of white brocatelle, the
pattern of which represented orange
flower buds. The round train was lined
with plain white silk; the bodice had
an embroidered plastron, with standing
up collar and orange-hower buds.
Furs are always the handsomest of
winter trimmings, and the fortunate
possessor of good furs need not trouble
herselfto follow the prevailing mania
for marabout. Its wear, like that of
ziblinette, is by no means satisfactory,
and although inexpensive, the ne.
cessity for frequent renewal ma
terially increases the original cost
of the mantle or dress of which
marabout is the adjunct. Neverthe-
less, motives of economy do not deter
people from wearing a great deal of
msIabout trimming. 1t is certainly
graceful in effect and always becoming,
and is very pretty trimming for house
dresses. Marabout is now dyed in the
most exquisite pale tints, which makes
it particularly desirable as gsrn'ture
for delicate evening gowns and wraps Of
