Taffeta again! We are all under its
spell. where short three months ago
there was common dissent againstait. ex-
cept among the great designers: They
had decided that taffeta should return
to US and we to It, and they set about
strengthening their position in the mat
ter. aided and abetted by the manufac-
turers. and brought about the desired
result. The tanetas are irresistible. Up
to the present the designers have con-
cerned themselves mainly with plain and
changeable effects. but the last week
there have been brought out some inter-
esting developments and stripes. OF which
the model slsetched is one It's color is

a harmonious tone two shades lighter.
The skirt Is plain, long all around. and
rather narrower than the majority of
prevailing models to emphasize the con-

The tunic Is only sparsely gathered at the
top. but has considerable fullness where
1t is gathered into the band, three inches
above the knees. It Is finished with a

and bow Of dark green satin ribbon.
Green enamel buttons. matching the
shade of the skirt, with loops of satin,
serve both for decoration and fastening.
The yoke and stock Of batiste, with
sleeve and ruffles to match, are some

the batiste is slightly gathered and in
the ruffies is doubled. These things are
exceptionally important in connection
with taffetas, which generally require
the softening touch bit Of fine null
always gives. - -
Just recently there have appeared on
the counters some new taffetas that
promise to Guido all the other stripe
patterns. They are exceedingly old-fash-

narrower stripe was cut out and used
for q binding and foot trimming. An
other pattern has the solid stripe In old

with rose petals. and here and there a

straight skirt edged about the foot with
a box plating made from the gray stripe

plain mousseline yoke introduced, and

SEA BREEZE ISLAND

Another fine concert by the Wheel CT & Wilson band directed by John A. Lynch will be presented at Sea Breeze Island this evening in connec- ton with the other attractions of the popular amusement resort The band concerts are arranged in the charac- teristic style of Leader Lynch and estrians are enjoying them.
 The unique display of frontier life in the Frank A. Robbins Wild West show and Indian congress is another striking feature of the first week o1 the Island. There are many thrilling pictures of life on the plains, enacted by real cowboys and real Indians, and the display of broncho busting is quite the most startling thing of the sort ever seen here.
 Knalin's Novelty Orchestra is a ball room. Thoroughly redecorated and renovated, the ball room was never in better. condition than just now. and dancing afternoon and ev- ening is an attraction of much mag netic power to the patrons of the Isl and.
 At the Casino theatre today a change of bill brought Phil Jean Der nard, with southern songs and stories Clery and Tracy in a comedy skit Pike & Callan, the dancing bugs, and Stella Stratford, with pictorial bal lads. The motion pictures are of the best.
 These and many other novelties combine to make the Island an ideal amusement place. Take the Seaview avenue cars or boats from Henry St. or Sea Breeze dock, in Stratford ave- nue.

EXPERT FINDS
 CITY'S TREES
 IN POOR SHAPE

]. W. Tourney, head of the Yale For estry department has completed an examination of Bridgeport's parks and has submitted his report to the Park board. He considers briefly the con- dition of trees in the streets.
 His criticisms of Seaside Park are that there has been aH unfortunate selection of species considering the To- cation of the park on salt water, that poor Judgment has been used in spac- ing and planting trees, and that there is dearth of small trees and shrub. bery.
 Regarding Beardsley Park he says that the wild woodland area should be maintained, but should be so car ed for as to give the effect of wild ness He finds that the best prece- dents have not been followed in grouping trees and in planting spe- cies.
 He gives some attention to the elms, which have been generally injured by the leopard moth and indicates how these should be cared for to preserve them as long as possible.
 It would appear that the city's trees are generally speaking i'll kept, not free from dead wood and not suffici- ently protected from insect pests.
 He says that the care of trees de- mands expert knowledge and the ex- penditure of some money.

 BY BRITISH COURT
