ALL READY FOR CARNIVAL
WEFK--EXPECT Big CROWD

The quarters Of the Milford Fire
Company has been one of the busiest
places in Milford for the past two
weeks, and now only the advent of
week of good weather is all that is
needed to make the affair the great
success that the firemen wish it to be.
Each and every member of the Fire
Company have been working like
beavers to complete the necessary
plans for the carnival, and each mem
Der is well satisfied with his efforts.
Music for carnival week will be
furnished by Elliott's Band Of Ches-
ter, which organization ranks among
the best 1t will compare favorably
with the music provided for last years
carnival, and will be we'll worth COM
ing miles to hear. A number of tent
shows have been provided, and any
number of games Of chance will be in
evidence. The free attraction which
will probably draw the biggest crowds
will be the divers. Last year one
lady dived a distance of forty feet in
to a tank of water six feet deep. This
year the firemen have secured a MANI
and woman, who will do double dive.
They will dive from a tower much
higher than that used by Miss Thelin
last year.
A number of organizations have
agreed to manage booths at the car
nival this year as they did last, and
they also have completed their ar
rangements for the affair.
The fremen Of Milford have given
a public invitation to the people of all
of the neighboring towns to attend
the carnival each day, and they anti |
cipate a record breaking crowd. Par
AIDES will feature both Monday and |
Thursday. The full program will be |
found on another page Of the Chron-
icle.

any sort of clothes. She dresses her self for the office just as immaculate ly as for drawing room.
 An essential to a neat, attractive appearance on rainy day is some sort of waterproof coat. This need not be hideous affair of rubber. drab in color, shapeless as to fit. Really smart waterproof coats are to be found in these enlightened times, one seen recently being in pewter gray water proof tweed, designed to withstand the wickedest weather It was lined with lovely Wedgwood blue shade of silk. The coat buttoned at the top with two large tweed-covered buttons. or it could be worn open. It had two capacious pockets at the sides, and the garb was completed by jaunty and sensible little hat in blue felt, with a gray ribbon and untarnished steel buckle, and pair of high water proof boots.
 The whole was judicious mixture of the picturesque and the practical, and proved that we can wear the most perfectly weather-resisting garments and still look quite charming on wet day. The idea that "any old clothes" will do for bad days is quite exploded nowadays

FOR THE SMALLER CHILDREN
Nothing Better Than the Rompers, Either for Playtime or the Formal
 "Dress-Up" Occasions.

For playtime nothing can ever take the place of rompers. These can bs as attractive as one wishes them to be. They should, however, be made of some color that does not show the first streak of soil nor the first wrin- kle. Gingham is always good. A big check is effective and does not show soil easily. Use a dark, plain mate rial for trimming bands, at belt, for a collar, cuffs and at the knees.
 For the very small boy the one un- der five or six years, wash suits are always best. Those of pure white or pink or blue are quite suitable for afternoon wear, but they become soiled so quickly that they are quito inappropriate for morning wear. One of tan or a stripe of tan and white. red and white, blue and white or blue and tan is n much wiser choice for morning than the all-white sort Ga- latea is a good material to choose.
 For afternoon, however, a suit of blue or pink poplin with collar, cuffs and belt of white and tie of black ij very attractive. especially if white stockings and black patent leather pumps be worn.

HAT is the United States going Y to do with it's great immigrant population? How are we going
 to make loyal, useful American citi. zens of the horde of foreigners that nave come tO us in the last few years? Are we going to shut the gates against the entry of more of them un- Ill we can digest into our national body those now here?
 These questions are very important. They are making many intelligent americans do some hard thinking

bolero. The idea is quite new and very simple, although it does not look so. One has only to gather the top into the shoulder seam and let the pointed ends fall naturally. A pretty little twilled ruffle edges the fronts, sailor collar and cuffs, and nothing could be more easily made than this form of sleeve and collar.
 The design also is made so that the surplice pieces can be omitted and leave most attractive plain waist with full front
 Everybody likes this style of blouse, because 1t is easily put on and but toned up in front, and Is equally ap- plicable to many sorts of material. You will find that all the crepes- both silk and cotton-are very attrac- tive when made up this way, and silks and ginghams serve as useful and decorative an end. A great many at- tractive plaid silks and ginghams are in the market, and they are smart with plain-colored dresses. Then, too, the pattern will be found very practical for thin summer goods, such as dotted and figured swisses and lawns. In case you make the waist of any sum- mer material the collar may be omit ted and fichu or net collar worn sep arate, since this may be removed and fresh one put on at will, and 80 the waist remain nice for several wear ings.

 The case can be cut out entirely in enc piece, and the portion that forms the pocket for the shaving papers fold ed over and sewn down at the sides.
 To close the case. the two side flaps are folded on to the center portion, then the large pocket folded upwards and the top flap folded downwards.
 To secure the case, the top flap is tied on to the back of the pocket for the shaving papers. This is illustrat- ed by the lower sketch, and the initials of the owner of the case might be worked where indicated.

TOILET CASE FOR TRAVELLER
Adapted to Every Requirement Need ed by Man Who Is Frequently
 Away From Home.

This is a handy case that would form most acceptable gift to pre- rare for man who has much travelling to do. It is designed to contain a military hair brush, razor, shaving brush and shaving papers. It is car ried out in dark-colored art linen, lined with sateen and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon.
 The center portion is stiffened with a piece of strong cardboard. sewn in between the linen and the lining, and on the left there is a loop of broad white elastic, under which the hair brush may be slipped and held in place.

 Students Who Work.
 Under the direction of William J. Began, prin. cipal of Lane and noted educator, man who un. derstands youths, hundreds of positions are ob- tained for boys who must work for their board and clothing These positions range from ushers in movie shows to workers in electric shops. All of them teach the boys to be selfreant and nde. pendent and most of them along the line of work that the boy wishes to take up when he has left school.

Pretty, Simple Waist

Of all simply made waists this is, perhaps. the prettiest. Its soft flufl- ness in front and the fullness gathered from the shoulders are very attrac- tive, while the gathered surplice col lar-if this name may be given quite new form of decoration-is most charming and becoming. Indeed, the whole decorative scheme of the waist lies in this broad, short surplice, which, instead of being gathered into the waistband, is cut off and arranged to hang in folds, like the fronts of

 For the Backward Boys.
 Lanes pre-vocational department is one of it's most successful features In every city, there are boys of fifteen, sixteen or seventeen, who, because of sickness, financial conditions or change of resi- dence, have been backward in their classes.

 Because, for years, high-school students were in the habit of bringing indigestible lunches to school, or, worse still, spending their money on pickles and ice cream. Lane has installed model cafeteria, where, at cost. the boys can get hot, appetizing lunches.
