Have you noticed the important part
which theserpent is playing Of late in
the decorations OF the women Of
fashion? Really, it makes the goose
flesh come out when you see one with
out warning. Many Of these jeweled
serpents are the perfection of art.
When in the shape of a bracelet they
are sometimes worn about the elbow,
several times around the arm, with
emerald eyes and a ruby Ia the mouth.
1t is not alone the bracelet. They
form the handle OF a lady's compan-
ion, or portmonnaie, crayat pins,
garter buckles, etc.

The Kissing Bracelet

| notice great deal in the Eastern
papers about the kissing bracelet.
They were worn by our grandmothers,
They are most frequently made of
black velvet, with a sliding buckle of
turquoise matrlx, or gun metal, with
rhlnestones. They are worn close to
the hand, tight around the wrist.
When you extend your hand to a
chance caller he kisses the back of the
hand. There is also another fad or
two OF the hour; the talisman is quite
a pretty one. 1t is large, fat, round
or obl0ng locket, leweled or not, as
one prefers. 1t opens, Of course; in
side is his photograph and opposite is
motto. Other fads are the conyer-
sation buckle, beauty clasp, etc. The
beauty clasp is a stock fastener, and
the jewel in the center must match
the wearer's eyes.

Tore open the shutters and threw

The moon, on the breast Of the new

C. 5. Bushnell Honored.

The late c. s. Bushnell, of New Ha- ven, often told his sons that history would take care of him and give him all the credit that was due to him. MT. Bushnell was not mistaken. The Ed ward P. Judd company have discovered an article relating to c. s, Bushnell McMaster in the Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute for De- cember, 1901'
 This article is of interest to New Ha- ven people, as for the first time is given the exact account of what c. $, Bush nell really did, substantiated by refer ences to official documents in the Navy department and historical data. proper ly arranged, setting at rest any contra- diction that may ever arise.
 The article is written for navy off, cers, appearing in a navy publication that seldom, if ever goes outside of navy circles. The true story is told in a clear manner, and gives c. s, Bush nell the credit among navy officers that has long been denied him.
 The Naval Institute list of members includes officers of all the foreign na- vies as we'll as our own, so that our townsman has placed C. s. Bushnell's s splendid work for his country before the naval experts of the great sea powers of the world.
 The publication can be obtained at Judd's by special order only.

At noon special religious services were held in the Sunday school, and were conducted by the superintendent assist ed by the pastor. Three hundred and sixty-six scholars were present.

In the evening the auditorium of the church was crowded with people and many had to find seats in the lecture room. Rev. A. J. Smith preached from My Guide The altar was filled with seekers at the close of the sermon. Monday night the meeting was one of increasing interest.

 band of Hartford. They alternated
 during the long programme, which in- | cluded the best list of pieces that could 1 be gathered together. The regular dances were played by Wells orchestra, the intermissions be- ing danced to the tunes of the band.
 The playing of the local orchestra was l most favorably commented upon by all the promenaders,, and the spirit and dash that they put into the music seem ed to inspire the dancers even more than the more powerful band across the ballroom.
 The compliment paid to MT. Veil in having his orchestra furnish the music for the regular dances was one to be proud of, and his orchestra lived up to it's reputa ton as being unexcelled for dance music.
 The following is the official list of dances by the orchestra:
 Two Step-1o0a.
 Waltz-The Messenger Boy. Two-Step-Reuben and the Maid. Waltz-Valse Bleue.
 Two-Step-Boola
 Waltz-Amoreuse.
 Two-Step-Joly Eight.
 Waltz-Miss Simplicity. Two-Step-High Society. Waltz-Wedding Sounds. wo-Step-Kunning Kaffirs. Waltz-The Strollers.
 Two-Step-Mr. Volunteer. Waltz-The Chaperones Two-Step-Second Regiment Waltz-Virginia Carvel Two -Step--Our Director.
 Waltz-The Singing Girl.
 The intermission selections played by Colts band were as follows: Two -Step-The Speedway Waltz-The Serenade. Two-S -Step-Creole Belles. Two step-Ma Blushin Rosie. Waltz-Monks of Mallabar. Two Step-Tale of the Kangaroo. Waltz-San Tov. -Step-Dolly Gray. Two Step-My Lady Bug. Two o-Step-Mosquito on Parade. Waltz-Fortune Teller. wo-Step-Spirit of Liberty. Two-S -Step-Strike up the Band -Step-Invincible Eagle Waltz-The Moth and the Flame. o-Step-Josephine and Popularity. Two Step-Pan- American. wo-Step-Hands Across the Sea.
 Nearly every dance was encored at least once, and counting encores, regu- lar dances and intermissions about sev- enty-two distinct dances were enjoyed. The music at the promenade has al- ways been good, but it never was bet ter than it was last night.

After them came hundreds of couples the young ladies and their gowns making a sight that was well worth going many miles to see. The grand marches are always short and the leaders never have time to make a circuit of the ball room. When Mir. Lamb and Miss Brooks had gone about thirds of the circuit Wells orchestra struck up the tWo-step "1903" and then the great line broke as if shattered by so many cannon and the first dance of the ball was on.

A STATE ORGANIzATION
To be Formed by the Carpenters and
 Joiners of Connecticut

To be Formed by the Carpenters and
 Joiners of Connecticut.
 A movement is on foot among the carpenters of Connecticut to establish a state organization in this state and the preliminary arrangements were made at conference of delegates from various local carpenters organizations held in New Britain last week. There are now twenty-three carpenters unions in the state, and the idea is to form state organization to have to do with the regulation of hours, wages, and assist in organizing in smaller towns.
 The unions in the state represent five thousand carpenters and delegates were present from eighteen of these unions at the conference held in New Britain. The delegate from the New Haven union was William Wilson. Resolu- tions drafted at the conference will be presented to the various unions for rat ification, and the state organization will follow.
 It was decided to call it the Connecti- cut State Association of Carpenters. One of it's main objects will be to reg ulate the apprenticeship system

SUPPER.

SUPPER. A delightful supper was served at o'clock and the intermission lasted about an hour. Mazzetti of New Yorl catered and he placed before the tired dancers the following delightful supper which served to stimulate them so thai they could go on with the second hall of the programme with as much vim and spirit as when they struck out fol the first dance. JUNIOR PROMENADE. Class of 1903. Yale University. Consomme, Oyster Patties. Sweetbread Croquettes, Chicken Salad, Sandwiches, Finger Rolls. Fancy Ice Cream,
 Biscuit Tortoni
 Assorted Petits Fours,

 January 2I 1902. Mazzetti, New York.
 The supper this year was served as usual from either gallery, the hundreds of walters carrying their heavily laden trays to the many boxes as soon as the music ceased. The stags and many others were furnished in the gallery, and the rush for this year while not so rough as in former years, owing to the rule that gentlemen not in full dress would be prohibited, was rough enough for the majority
 Many dress suits were spoiled and a number of white shirts were made to look as though they had been stuck up as a target with biscuit tortoni for mis- Sles
 Never did supper taste better than the one of last night, and the New York caterer deserves great credit for the rapid and abundant manner in which he served the promenade guests.
 After the supper the orchestra struck up lively two-step and from that time until 530 this morning the dancing con tinued. The last hack rolled away from the armory about o'clock and the festivities of the class of 1903 came to an end.
 Those who occupied the boxes and their places of residence were as fol- lows:
