 Nurses As Guests. Miss Bassett, superintendent of the New Britain hospital and two nurses in the sar2a hospital, Miss Pepper and Miss Alice McBroome, were guests at Thomas McBrOome's and of Miss Clara Desjardine. The latter returned to her duties at the hospital with the party. Peculiarly Dense Fog. Thursday evening several auto loads from the borough went to Wildwood i Park to enjoy the varied entertain ments. Following a hot day, after night-fa the mercury dropped ap- preciably and the weather turned cold. The experiences of the autoists in re- turning along about midnight with the eXceedinly dense fog banks, along the road below Danielson, were to say the least, interesting. At first the fog was in thin clouds which seemed to ap- prOach the automobile lamps in rings. 1 Not unlike the smoke circles sonne- times seen in the exhaust from the stack of a locomotive. But later, be- | low Plainfield there were banks that | the machines approached as a solid | wall, some of these were more than mile in extent, ceasing as suddenly and completely as though sliced off with a knife. The next mile would be | clear and dry, then another bank. The i water dropped from the wind shields ! and the drivers could see nothing. In i one of these banks on RoGde's plains 1 one machine met another, each saw 1 the others shaft of light in the fog and had to feel about like two steam l CTS, to pass the other, sounding the ] horns at short intervals. In another | bank, near Tadpole, one of the re- | turning machines had a blowout, and | was an hour on the job.
 ] Between two and three a. m. the fog 1 enveIoped Jewett City and was re- 1 ported by several who were obliged to 1 be awake at that hour, as no ordin- 1 ary, everyday fog.
