AN AMATEUR DESIGNER.

road magnate, whose family have been
leaders in the Newport set for many
years, is noted for the picturesqueness
Of her costumes, and it has been told
that no matter who makes the gowns
Miss Janet designs them and makes
great use of her collectionof old prints
as material for suggestion.
AUTOMOBILE WRAPS.
Outdoor sports are distinctly fash
ionable, and as consequence there is
an unusual demand for materials
which are attractive yet guaranteed
not to spot and are absolutely water
proof. All these requirements are
filed by the Priestly Cravenettes,
which come In wide range OF cloths
and colorings, and for automobiling
they stand without rival. Like all
other first class fabrics, they are imi-
tated, but the purchaser is protected
by looking for the circular trademark
"Cravenetten which is stamped on
the back Of every yard OF genuine
Cravenette fabrics.
THE FRENCH VEIL.

circular wells worn on all occasions,
for automobiling especially. These

BOXING BT WATERBURY
EVENING OF THIRTY ROUNDS
"Matty'' Baldwin and Bert Reyes Will Have Twelve
 Round Go Friday.

Eighteen rounds of boxing, as slip- plement to the sensational twelve round go between Matty Baldwin of Boston and Bert Reyes of Philadelph- ia, thirty rounds in all are offered by the promoters of the National. As for the series of all-star bouts at Pofi,s theater in Waterbury next Fri day } night.
 The main bout, which introduces Baldwin and Reyes will bring hundreds of the lovers of the manly art to Wa- terbury on Friday night. Matty Bald win will probably be the first opponent of 'Packy" Mcfarland, the Vests leading candidate in the lightweight division, when the clever Chicago box CT comes to the Atlantic coast to try conclusions with the eastern oonting- ent of ring phenomena. Harry Gil more, the manager of McFarland, has already promised Baldwin the privi- lege of introducing "Paclty' to the cas- tern boxing fans Gilmore says that Bort Reyes, Tommy Murphy and John ny Summers are also included In the list of eligibles. Consequently, as Baldwin and Reyes are in Ilne to meet McFarlands to whom Joe Cans has turned over the lightweight title, those who attend the show at Waterbury may have the opportunity to see the coming champion lightweight of the world in ring action. This is an oppor- tunity that few lovers of the game will cara to miss
 There will be three other bouts, in- troducing L.eech Cross of New York vs. Tommy Young of Brooklyn, six rounds at 1S5 pounds; Tommy Nelson of New York vs. Al Schumacher of Philadel- phia, six rounds at 11s pounds, Chick Lawson of Naugatuck vs. Joe .'Kidv Shea of Waterbury, six rounds at 11a pounds.

TED COY LODGES
 FORWARD PASS First Yale Player to Know of it Has No Use for New
 Rule Play. PETER CLINE WAS
 HIS HEAD COACH Ellis Fullback Caught Pigskin Years Ago on the End of
 His Nose.

While the university assistants, Jim Donnelly, Pop Warner, of the electric express; Leo Morris-all are allowed the privilege of assisting Ted Coy, the sophomore fullback in his various ac- tivities, there is one, prominent as the others, who is barred by Ted forever from entering into his athletic life.
 This is Peter B. Clyne, the flve-foot- high college postman, who did all the college work before the Yale station was founded and who has done more than half of it ever since. Years ago Ted was practicing various stunts with a football near the university when the pigskin slipped and shot out into the road beyond the teams. MT. Clyne was passing by with his usual bunch of billet doux and just escaped being hit by the ball He saw the little fellow across the street. r Ted was then less than four feet high --and gently picked up the ball to throw 1t to him. Ted yelled to try a new trick, and Mir Clyne threw the first forward pass ever seen at Yale It was new ons n Ted. Ho brought his hands together too late, land the ball took him square on the
 end of his nose, knocking him over. His nose bled profusely, and the post
 man helped the little fellow to his fhome.
 Ted is now over six feet high, but when Peter asks him if he wants in
 dividual coaching the fuilback always responds that the postman is too fast | for him.
 It has also been noticed that Coy
 never cares for the forward pass, and that Tad Jones tends to the backheld
