Our preparations for Spring
Derby business are a pointer on
our policy.
The Open Door" for the
best of everything men wear.
We don't confine ourselves to
one Spring shape-as does the
average halter.
Nor even to one make-as do
most outfitterS.
The three best makes are
none too many for us.
Special hats which only we
can show in New York, beside
all the best styles designed for
the trade at large.
There are two great hat
manufacturers In this country
with years of the highest repu-
tation behind them.
Crofut & Knapp and the
John b. Stetson Company.
We have from each of them
Derbies not to be had elsewhere
in New York.
The Knapp-Felt Preferred
is a S. Derby-a a hat of the
highest class which {. & X.
make exclusively for us.
Then there's the 81 Derby
made of knapp-Felt, product
Of which any firm might be
proud.
Our So Derby with which
years ago we established our
name as hatters, is still the
best thing we know of of its
class.
The Stetson Special is an
other S. Derby of which we
have the exclusive sale in New
York-the hat ON which the
Stetson factory plumes itself.
But this too is only one of
our hats of the famous Stetson
make. for we have full variety
of the Stetson Derby at $3.50,
noted for its ightneSs and
flexibility.
Nor do we stop with the best
hats America makes.
We provide typical English
hat for men who like the solid
British Derby.
Victor Jay" Derbies hats
that to every Londoner repre-
sent the best in English hating.
Here again we have the sole
agency.
Not to speak of soft hats in
felt and cloth; or the caps and
straw hats we are already show
ing.

WIFE DISAPPEARS
 FROM HER HOME
Leaves Five Children Who Are Most Anxious For Their
 Mothers Return

New Haven. June 15.-Leaving five lovely children motherless and a hus- band entirely at sea as to the reason for her strange action. Martha Evelyn Malkin, the pretty 2S-year-old wife of Arthur R. Malkin, a linotype operator, left her home at 28 Willis street, on Saturday morning, May 2S. and despite all efforts of the local and South Nor walk police to locate her. she has not been found since.
 Mrs. Malkin appeared to be in good health and no family trouble is known of that would cause her peculiar ac- tion.. but she disappeared from her home about ten O'clock that morning and is gone as if the earth had swal- lowed her.
 Three or four days after her depar- ture, her husband received letter, dated New Haven. from her. but it did not reveal her address. It simply stated that she would be willing to return home if she was wanted there, and gave instructions to print an ad- vertisement in the papers if her re- turn was desired. A pathetic little advertisement was accordingly print ed. asking her to return and appeal ing to her on the ground that the chill dren wanted her. Instead of return ing. she failed to make any reply and her whereabouts are an absolute mys- tery.
 The local police have been asked to look for the woman and the police in South Norwalk. her former home be- fcre her marriage. have also been asked to help but so far everything has been unavailing to locate her. Mrs. Malkin is described at feet inches tall, and when she went away she wore black suit. coat of knee length. blue hat trimmed with light blue flowers and she carried a paper suit box containing wearing apparel, few magazines and so forth. She went away while her husband was still asleep after his nights work and when he awoke he found she had gone. Since then he has had no tidings of her except the peculiarly sad letter re- fo

The names are those whose property has been inspected four times and found in unsatisfactory condition.
 The board took customary action on complaints of nuisances ordering pools to be filled, closets installed andavaults cleaned. One of the nuisances com plained of is near the school in Hunt tngton Road. The Board of Educa- tion asked the Health Board to take care of the place.

W. & W. SICK BENEFIT
 SOCIETY HARD HIT

Because of the heavy payments made by the Wheeler & Wilson Sick Benefit Society, during January last its 450 members have been consider ing the dissolution of the organiza- ton which has been in existence for 25 years. With dues of 25 cents a month the society has been paying a sick benefit of S5 per week and a death benefit of $100. The demand upon the treasury became suddenly so great that $500 was all that re- mained on hand. At a meeting held in St. Paul's parish house, Friday night, it was voted to suspend all sick benefits until April 1, 1911, and to continue paying death benefits. It was also decided to raise money for the treasury in some other way.
