UNION LABELS RESTORED TO
 DANBURY HATS

Danbury. Sept. 13.-According to the terms of the temporary agreement en- tered into between the local hat man ufacturecs and the union matters three months ago, this is the day on which the union labels were to be restored to the hats. Several of the firms have complied with the terms of the agree ment and it is thought that the label will be restored within a few days by all the local manufacturers.
 The reason for postpoEing a restora- tion of the label was due to the fact that the local manufacturers had to withdraw from the National Hat Man. ufacturers' Association, who had voted to discard the union label, and were compelled to give a ninety days notice of their intention.

 Monday, Sept. ably
The new shoe-styles for women.

Right at the outset of the season, let us say one thing that will bring comfort to the great majority of women:-The day of the freaky shoe has gone. Shoes now are sen sible. The finger of fashion has pointed to spot midway between the extremes of style and there it has stopped. The result is that shoes are sensible and attractive, are graceful without being too dainty, are plainly planned on com fortable lines and yet fairly gleam with attractiveness of style; ;-are the very-plain product of skilled and thoughtful designers who counted as much upon comfort as upon appearances.
 To some of the shapes, an added beauty is given by curved tops. In many, the vamps are shorter, mak ing the foot look a bit more trim. TO-,A L u I
