This matter of fashion is a very pecu- liar thing. We throw up our hat and cry "Bravo" when new style makes it's appearance and we are ready to kick it out as useless as soon as another comes to take it's place. This being so we must pay due regard to new and fashion able things. Davis &5 Savard of Bridge port have the we'll earned reputation of being ''up-to date" in these matters. Their full stock is particularly attrac- five.
