NEW SHIRT WAIST AND COLLARS.

Ringhams, the neat percales and ths
gray green grass linens are the prettiest,
I think. All are made with neckbands
and wristbands. to which white collars
and cuffs will be buttoned. Some are
standing, but more turn down and have
sharp corners. The most of the shirt
waists are gathered at the shoulders
and at the bottom and have wide plat
down the front buttoned with tiny gold,
pearl or linen buttons. A small tie,
black, white or of some preferred color,
adds the touch and finish of neatness.
The collars and cuffs of stiff linen with
EN- broidered edges are the prettiest
There are others more dressy covered
with lace and muslin and having rib
bon bows at the back. But for ordinary
use the plain choker collar and deep
plain cuffs look the most appropriate.
A shirt waist is not intended SO much
for beauty and dressiness as for coDven
fence and neatness. Therefore much
fancy trim ming is out Of place. So far
I have not seen any with other than
bishop sleeves. The waist is shirred and
then stitched to 4 strong belt, leaving
about three inches below the waist for
a staying piece. In fact, there is little
difference between those of last season

cuffs

a very quaint suit yesterday. It was of
the new brocaded wooden, in several
shades of gray and black. The skirt was
plain, but hung very full all around the
bottom. The sleeves were of black silk,
gigot shape, wrinkled down over the
forearm. At the wrist was very full
plated cuff made OF white lace There
was similar plating around the neck.
Over the shoulders there was a deep
pointed cape of the dress material,
caught up on the shoulders in a few
gathers to ease it over the sleeves. It
reached to the waist line only in the
back. Around the neck was narrow
band of fur, with two small heads and
six long tails.
The hats for March and April are
marked more by their plainness than
anything, as during those two uncertain
months it does not do to have too much
perishable trimming. One sees felts,
straws and woven chenilles-al1. The
black straws, in fancy weaves or braids,
are trimmed as 1avishly as ever with
ostrich tips. One had rosettes of deep
heliotrope velvet and drapery and bows
of the same, with fine aigret of white
and golden yellow. There was dark
green fiat felt hat, with low, round
crown. On each side were punched bows
of Persian ribbon, and on the right side
there were three speckled partridge
quilts There was lovely hat in royal
purple and white velvet. The brim was
plated and of the dark, while the gath

Nothing is Prettier to diversity the ap-

satin or small patterned brocade. This
may be half low, fitted to carefully boned
lining and only slightly full front and
back. The opening around the arm is
made to fit neatly and is either corded,
gimp edged or frilled to hide the joining.
The bodice fastens invisibly and is put
over the waist proper just as one would
add an Elton jacket. This gives novel
look to the gown. The amount of silk OF
satin required is very little, for it is the
sleeves which devour material nowadays
Small turn back cuffs matching the low
bodice are pretty addition. This sugges-
ton is meant for women of slender build.

with folded collar and cuffs TO match,
made of narrow striped or dotted silk or
satin, is a far better addition for those of
ampler proportions.
Fashion now permits great latitude with
regard to headwear, and women are not
obliged to adopt uniformly large or small
hats and bonnets. If one style is not be-
coming, there are plenty of others from
which to select, and shape, size and trim
ming may be chosen to suit tho individual,
with no risk of appearing out of date.
Although sleeves are actually beginning
to diminish little-that is, the newest

sure to decrease also.

The clubs which will be, presented for membership in the league which has been organized largely through the efforts of the veteran base oall player, Jim O'Rourke, are Win sted, Torrington, Ansonia, Danbury or Waterbury,, Derby and Bridgeport. O'Rourke, who will manage the Bridge port team, has secured the full quota of players, and is ready for the opening of the season as far as this place is con cerned. The makeup of the team is the same as it was last year with one or two exceptions. The new men are the Dunne brothers, whom he secured from Norwalk. and Sniffen. who was one ot the Danbury men. The teams of the other towns have not yet been selected but the choice will be made shortly af- ter Tuesdays meeting.

LESS SALOONS THIS YEAR.
A Reduction of Nearly ODe-third in tl
 Number.

Ansonia. Jan 29.-The reduction in the number of saloons that will be in operation in Ansonia, this year, over last, is quite marked. Up to date only thirty three licenses have been, granted, against upwards of fifty, last year. There are three applications still pend- ing, and should all of them receive favorable action the number will be but ithirty-six. This number may be in- creased, of course, during the year but there is no probability that it will reach the limit of former years.
 The reduction is not due to depre- citation i'm the business wholly, though this may have had something to do with it. More depends upon the activity Of the Law and Order league. This local organization has been after the saloon keepers with sharp stick for a year or SC past and have compelled strict obedience to the law. Ii has also, by its uncompromising pursuit of violat- ors, obliged several of them to quit the city, while others have been unable tc get licenses because of the strong oh. jections laid before the county commits. sioners. The league is not relaxing its vigilance in the least, but is pressing on with its work vigorously and witt diligence, and will stick to the work SC long as there seems to be necessity fo, it's existence.

Counsel GoOdhart's Opinion.

Town Counsel Goodhart handed in an opinion to the selectmen yesterday re- garding the matter of which town shall be responsible for the care of indigent persons when such persons are sent from one town to another.
 The question arose over a pauper be- ing sent from Hamden to the New Ha- ven almshouse. The Hamden( author- ties paid for the care of the man for a while, then ordered his release. The man was released and subsequently found wandering. about the streets here and again sent to the almshouse, The matter was reported to the Hamden authorities, who said that they were not responsible for the man any longer. The matter was turned over to Mir. Goodhart, who decides that Hamden is responsible and that persons bringing in an indigent penson into a town and leaving him are liable to a fine.

FIVE TEARS OF WORK.
The Salvation Army's Annlversary--Re-

lnG SliNAtlOh ~AN'~
 suits of Tholr Efforts.
 Ansonia, Jan. 29,-It Is now nearly five years since the first detachment of the Salvation army opened fire in Anso- mia, and already the members of the Io- cal corps are beginning to make prep arations to celebrate the fifth anniver- sary in a manner such an anniversary has never been celebrated before. The program is not yet completed, but Will 'oe announced later. The good the ar my has done in Ansonia cannot be counted by the number of soldiers seen in the ranks when they parade, or by those who occupy the seats on the plat form. Many of the soldiers have re- moved to other places, and many who have professed conversion there have joined some of the churches in Ansonia and Derby.
 It is not expected that all who are converted in their meetings will be- come soldiers, as many are so situated that they could not. Some who have been converted have apparently gone back into the world again, yet at the same time many of their old habits have never been resumed and they are better men and women than they were previous to their attempt to lead a better life. Others who were victims of drink before the army came have reformed, and where poverty prevailed are pleasant homes with comfortable surroundings. Many of the latter class are now connected with the army and their lives for several years have shown that they were thoroughly reformed. Men and women have been reached by them and led to lead a better life, who would not have been influenced by ef- forts put forth by the churches, as they could not be induced to enter a church, when they would attend army meet ings.

Saunders of Naugatuck, Conn, general manager Of the United States Rubber Trust, in an interview at Bristol this evening, said the mills of the National India Rubber company's works in that town would undoubtedly be closed down in few days, and intimated that all of the factories ill the trust would follow suit. The open winter and over pro- duCtion, he said, were the causes for this action. Closing of the Bristol works will throw about LOGO hands out of en- ployment. Mir. Saunders did not believe the factories would be reopened this winter. The striking cutters at the works voted this evening to go in to- morrow.
