ABOUT $50 TURNED
 INTO POLICE FUND
Over 5000 in pensi Jn Fund Now But Ono Officer on Retired
 List.

New Britsins police department pension fund was augmented to the extent of about $50 this morning when Chief Rawlings and Sergeant Hcrting cleaned out the big safe and collected together all accumulated monies that have been confscated during the past four years as well as all witness fees that have been turned in and any cash that has been obtained from the sale of any con fiscated scrap.
 The Pension fund of the police de- partmcnt has only one sure mta ns of receiving financial id hvs per cent of all liquor licens1 fees being turned into this fund. An ad ltionai monies must como from gifts or con fiscations. W hen a gambling raid is made all money found on the peIsD Dns of the accused Is returnel to ih m, but any money taken from the t4blh goes into thc pension fund. This Is very small however, because mcs, gamblers arc leo crafty to leavA in- crlmlnat!rg money on the tai le.
 Sometimes a generous witness turns his sixty cents fee into ths fund. Sometimes the police conhs ate old 1unk that is never a med and the price oDtainei tkercfr ym reVerts to the fund as does all other cash con f1scated
 At the time the last official rel ort was made on the pen2ion fund there was almost 5000 on deposit and it IS now little more than that Anson Johnson is at present the only re- tired officer on the pension list, the others all having died.

Distinctive Dresses.

\ pretty gown of easement cloth is
combined with fine and soft printed
cretonne. The easement cloth is In
periwinkle blue, the cretonne has buff
ground almost hidden with clustering
periwinkle-colored flowers and green
foliage, and through all runs a line of
black. 1t is further enhanced by black
buttons and a sash of draped black
braid tied in a clever bow
The gored skirt gives scope for all
sorts Of styles. and is certainly a most
sensible one for those who cling to a
closely fitted outline of hip and vet
like the fullness of the lower skirt A
very pretty black ninon and taffeta
frock is thus arranged, the ninon pulled
into combining bands OF taffeta, the
yoke itself being of the tatfcta en-
broidered with scattered flowers in
many colors, and 4 quaint cravat being
formed OF a host of narrow ribbons
matching them, tied in 4 picturesque
bow.
One OF the new full-skirted evening
gowns is quantity fashioned of a very
soft, thin make of supple black satin,
broadly inset with bands of fine black
chantilly lace backed with flesh colored
ninon, which in their turn are divided
by bands of black velvet with the
tiniest possible black tulle ruches at
the top and bottom. The quaint little
bodice has pretty bristling sleeves of
frilled lace tied with black velvet, and
a big rose of palest pink shaded to gray
in the center. with black and gray fol-
iage at the waist. where there is also Il
velvet belt with long ends.
A steel blue and white dotted silk is
girlish in simplicity, with a jaunty
Elton jacket in plain blue taffeta. A
little color is introduced in two beaded
medallions on the jacket and on each
sash end falling at the side.

| reached to the shoulders. but it is called
| the epaulette collar because it follows the
lines of that especial symbol OF rank on
an officers uniform. It rises high on the
neck line and is slightly open in front. the
edges being joined by gold cord and two
brass buttons Another military touch,
you sec.
While this new hat with its stlffened
veil attached as brim. or its brim that
acts as a veil-whichever way you wish
to observe it's an exceedingly attrac-
tive novelty, and has undoubted merits
for the girl who knows how to pose a
hat it has too many dangerous proclivi-
ties for the average woman.
The belief is that only the very smart
woman will be able to wear it at the
present moment, but, like all novelties. 1t
probably will have its extreme edges
smoothed away before the season is we'll
advanced. and We shall all be wearing 1t
in a modified form
Some More Moderate.
The best houses in town are carrying
this hat in small and large shapes and
already some of them are less exagger-
ated. and. therefore, far more available
for the average woman than the one
shown in the sketch.
1t is probably true that the idea will
accentuate the fashion for hats with brims
that tilt down sharply in front and all
kinds of hats that have transparent brims.
No one rule works out in millinery today,
for every designer goes his or her own
way and the public will follow. all Of
which is very well for the ma iority Of
women. because no three faces can stand
the same hat. even though three figures
may wear the same gowns
The trimming this turban which is
shown in the sketch is of black satin and
it looks exactly though some one had
twisted a few blades of grass into an
artistic shape and applied them to the
side of the crown. Much of the modern
trimming is like this. Feathers, plain or
tortured. are conspicuous by their absence.
Even France has stopped buying the par
adise feathers. Ribbon is at the height Of
ia shion. also these twisted blades of
satin grass.

Spring Household Hints.

Before sending to the laundry stitch
plaitings on wash waists and jabots
into original plaits on the outer edge
with coarse chain stitch. and after
washed and pressed into plaits again
rip stitchings and draw edge of plat
ings between thumb and finger-to re-
move stiff plated effect.
To prevent salt in salt bottles from
becoming damp and lumpy. when fill
ing them, put in ten or twelve pieces
of rice. This Will not come through
the holes in the cover of the salt cell
lars, but Will break the Jumps and
gather the moisture; thus the salt is
always dry and fine.
To clean vinegar cruet put tea
spoonful of I've in it and then fill it
with water Let it remain in it for
few days. then rinse the cruet out
thoroughly. 1t will be perfectly clean.

Of white tulle and satin with a brim tilted
in front to each to the lips. through which
her eyes gazed demurely, no one tried to
keep quiet. There was a buzz of excla-
nations from one end of the room to the
other.
After this mannequin had blazed the
way another one appeared wearing tur-
ban with a transparent brim that reached
out from the forehead ike a visor and
came Just to the top of her nose. where
il was corded with narrow satin ribbon.
This visor was of tulle, and the dark,
heavily dashed eyes of the wearer gazed
through ii as does Turkish woman.
BY this time the selected audience was
delightfully."- aware that novelty was in
the air: that il was being exploited at
that moment and that, no matter who
wore it on the streets. any one of these
women could say that she had seen it at
the hour of its birth.
