FASHIONS AND PADS.

A toque of erniine. with jewel and a black osprey, makes a most fasein- ating headpiece.
 Every evening dress one sees this year seems to be trimmed somewhere with a bow or two.
 The simplest means of finishing off the high waistline is to employ a draped or folded g6rdle with a buckle or butterfly bow in the back.
 On some of the loveliest evening gowns cord outlines the high waist. This is of gold, silver. copper or of silk with tasseled ends.
 Classic simplicity will mark the ma jority of the new evening gowns the extremely short waist line being Rne of it's chief characteristics.
 This winter bead and sequin em- braidery has reached the height of popularity. There is scarcely a gown or blouse that escapes it's presence.
 Jackets are lined with contrasting eolors The Things usually match the collars and cuffs of velvet, and on many new suits these are of bright hueS

 Other Features

The High School Athletic association for the first time in several years will give an entertainment Friday night at Warner hall. Although no authentic statement has been made in the matter, 1t is commonly regarded that the undertaking marks distinct change in the manner of supporting the High school athletic teams.
 h the past, 1t has been. usual to support the teams by subscription from the members of the school.N If success attend the present project the Athletic association will adopt the pol icy of giving annual or semi annual entertainments in preference to the subscription manner of raising money.

Craft, who, has attained great fame through his masterly interpreta- tion of Shakesperian roles, upon occa- sions of this sort. MT. Craft whose interest in athletics is very great, will make special efforts to outdo all his former accomplishments in the line, and a most enjoyable evening may be expected by everyone.
 The musical program is composed of the best talents in the city and will undoubtedly prove very fine. Through the kindness of Miss Irwin of the High school faculty, the Kimbal Man dolin club has been secured to render several selections.
 Miss Irwin is a member of this or ganization, and were it not for her kindness, it could not have been se- cured. as it plays in public only at the invitation of a member. The High school Mandolin club will take part.
 It is assured that there will not be a dull moment from beginning to end.
 The program is as follows: Over ture, Lustspiel, Kela Bella, Kimbal Mandolin Club; Recitation, Marc An tony's Grafton. from Julius Ceasar, Rev P. J.

NOTES OF BASKETBALL
 THROUGHOUT THE STATE

The New Haven team jumped into the lead in the State Basketball League race last evening by taking a 69-40 game from the Naugatuck five, who up till the game held down the first rung. Bobby Stowe did wonder full work for the winners. shooting 15 baskets. The same clubs meet to- night in Naugatuck, Look for the Nauga tuck boys to be again Tn frst place. as they have yet to be defeated on their own floor.
 The Bridgeport team goes to Derby for their only State League contest this week. on Saturday. The boys will take the TAO and will be accom- panied by a fair-sized band of root CTS.
 The St. Josephs have protested the game played last evening with the Ramblers which settled the champion ship of the City League. They claim that Player Moran. who performed with the Ramblers. was not eligible. A meeting to settle the dispute will be held Sunday morning at St. Jo- senI1's hall Moran makes the claim that he has played with both clubs this season, that he was let go by the Jees and taken on by the Ramblers From the outside it does appear as if the Joes have valid claim.

 Philadelphia, Jan. 26-Philadelphia has joined the ranks with New York in proclaiming Packy Mcfarland. the best of the lightweights. McFarland's easy victory over Young Erne in their six round go at the National A. O., last night, pulled his stock to the top figure Erne was hardly up to his us- ual form, being sadly overweight, but at his best. his friends admit he would have no show against the Chicago stockyards mau1er.
 Mcfarland doesn't show a sign of the fight. today, while Erne Is badly used up. After the first round the fight was all MeFarland's. e
 New York, Jan. 26-Although he was outpointed in their 10 round bout at the Empire A. O.. last night. Bert Reyes is today receiving more praise for his showing than Is the victor. Reyes was substituted for Tommy Murphy on A hours notice and he gave Brown one of the stiffest games he has had in many a day Brown was devoid of cleverness and missed a score of opportunities to put oyer his we'll known "kick.'a All through, the championship aspirant's exhibition seemed to give his friends scant hope of the outcome.

SOFT ICE HOLDS
 BACK EXHIBITION
 OF FAST SKATING

Very poor ice conditions at Berk- shire pond yesterday afternoon pre- vented John Ahlbin, the swift Swedish skater, from making an attempt to break the worlds record of 2:s6 Ia with flying start. For the benef1t of the crowd who gathered he skated a quarter of a mile on a straightaway track in AZ seconds. His sharp rac- ing skates sank into the surface of the ice for over quarter of an inch at every stride. and even though it was IA seconds slower than the fastest quarter mile ever made upon ice as smooth and hard as glass. it was the fastest skating ever seen on Berkshire pond.
 Ahlbin might as we'll have been skating on crusted snow as on the ice of the pond when later on he skated an exhibition mile upon a circular fifth of a mile track. He made the mile in 4 min. 1 sec.
 Gene McCann. manager of the Bridgeport baseball nine. timed the events.
 Ahibin will skate against records again next Sunday afternoon if the ice is in good condition. It is the opinion of many who saw Ahlbin per- form that he is a wonderful skater. The former Swedish soldier himself believes he can break the worlds rec ord for one mile.

 Bokhara has many chambers of hor. TOTS. unwholesome for western eyes to see and the description of which would certainly be unfit for puhlica- tion.
