THE HEART OF FASHION.

It is said that a new fashion is born
 every day in New York. This may be
 stretching it trife; but it is true
 that the clever men tailors of women's
 apparel in Gotham are constantly
 adapting the ideas of foreign desig ners
 for American women to wear, and sc
 are producing almost daily something
 distinctly new in dress. In conse-
 quence of this, the large stores
 thoroughout the country are obliged to
 keep in closest touch with the impOr-
 tant makers of open's apparel in
 the metropolis, in order to be able to
 present to their customers the best of
 the new styles as fast as they are pro-
 duced. Meigs & Co. of Bridgeport have their representative in the heart of fashion every day, and in this way are enabled to show here in Bridge port the best of the new creations as soon as they are shown in the big city. This feature of Meigs & Co.'s women's section is thoroughly appre- ciated, especially by those women who were formerly obliged to journey to the metropolis and shop around in order to see the newest styles. This close touch maintained by thls prominent store also works to the advantage of economical women, for it is frequently the case that an entirely new line is made up and t.en it is discovered that the fabrics used in it are no longer to be had of the mills. This means an inviting bargain offer of the Bridge port women, just as the frequent clean ups of certain lines of suits or coats or other garments snapped up.by the man on the ground appear in a most entic- ing bargain offering in Meigs & Co.'S section. In short, Bridgeport owe much to the established policy of Meigs & Co.,, which keeps them in closest touch with the very Heart of Fashion.

SAVE THE PARTRIDGE.
VIEWS OF A VETERAN SPORTS
 MAN.

1 saw an article in the Bridgeport Farmer short time ago from County Game Warden Wilbur F. Smith, would ask the editor of The Bee tc please publish:
 County Warden Wilbur F. Smith, who was in town day or two ago, hopes hunters will not kill any ruffled grouse owing to the fact that they are very scarce. He says he has tramped the woods and he finds grouse are far from plentiful. A gentleman who was eight days in good grouse country did not see a bird. What birds there are should be left over to breed. Rab- bits are abundant this fall, and will afford much sport.
 1 not only coincide with him in ask ing the sportsmen to protect the mo- blest' of all game birds, the partridge,

The new model of the Holsman, a $55O machine, with every part of the machine guaranteed, gives one high grade motor carriage and very little expense. No low wheels but practi- cally carriage without a horse. Hear what user has to say: Since receiv- ing my Holsman automobile, October 3, I have been using it every day and it has given good satisfaction. To fully appreciate the work it is doing, it would be necessary to see the country over which I must travel. The roads are poorly kept and the hills are bad but the car will go up any of them. Pneumatic tires would be out of the question, on account of ruts which would ruin them in a short time. The high road clearance is quite feature. as it enables me to travel by roads 1 dould not otherwise use. l find the car very little trouble to care for. If half the time is devoted to looking it over that is required to take care of horse each day, it need not be in bad order at any time. When placed my order with your agent, MT Williams, ] took your word for what it would do. and when he delivered it he certainly made good. The demonstration he gave me as to its ability to climb bad hills on both speeds was more than he promised. l thought it would take a year to be able to handle the machine as he aid, but in week l was going any place I'wanted to, and now 1 have just as much confidence in my car as 1 did in team. 1 will certainly recom- mend it to my friends as the ideal physician's vehicle. -[J. R. Cross, M. D.] James J. Kerwin of 169 John street, Bridgeport, is the Connecticut and Rhode Island agent for the Hols- man and if interested would like you to call and talk the matter over with him.

In so doing you will give them a home where they can breed and null tiply unmolested by mankind. In that way they increase rapidly and are forced to fly out and stock all the sur rounding country.
