JUST A WORD ABOUT YOUR NEW
SUMMER CLOTHES
BY Betty Brown
Don't slight your sleeve. 1t will
spoil your gown. The sleeve is i'm
pOrtant. In the sheer dresses to be
worn in midsummer it will be short
and much friIIed and pulled. The
short sleeve will have no great favor
One of the fussy but pretty sleeves
I saw in the making in an exclusive
clothes shop is cut to fit closely to
the arm and is trimmed with a Sc
Ties of narrow bias ruffles that flare
upward just above the cuff. Similar
little Tuffles flare upward above the
elbow The Bishop sleeve, drawn
close at the wrist with ribbon, is
fashionable for the simple summer
dress.
Wolfe and taffeta is combined in
so many new summer frOcks pre-
dict a craze for wolfe.
Bands Of hair lace used under fine
lace puts the flare in the friIls of
filn1y frOcks. It is invisible. That's
why it's popular.
Alpaca, beloved by our maiden
aUnts 20 years ago, is among the
newest of new summer fabrics. It's
no longer gray and prim and maiden

striped in gaudiest cOIors are the
new alpaCas.

a fine home to find that it contains

NO OBLIGATED TO
 DAVIS & BROOKS
Hartford Corporation Counsel Says High School Commission May
 Employ Other Architects.

Hartford, June 2.--Corporation Counsel Francis w. Cole has handed down an opinion that the high school plan and building commission is under no legal obligation to employ Davis &5 Brooks as architects for the contemplated high school addition, on Broad street, which is to cost $250,000. A previous commission bound itself to employ Davis & Brooks, the architects of the original building, when occasion for an ad- ditiOn should arise.
 Recently, the present commission called for competitive bids for the proposed addition. The architects firm wrote to the commission that it considered itself the logical one to draw up the plans and if the contract was not awarded it they would seek recompense, if the successful bidders plans infringed upon the original plans as drawn by them. The com mission decided to ignore the firms ultimatnm.
