At the short calendar session of the superior court in this city on Friday the court granted an order authorizing the sale of the claims against John Manwaring and securities and of land obtained upon foreclosure against John Manwaring ct al.
 In July, 1913, Manwaring owed the company the sum of $11, ,S46 and there endorsed and were collected by MT. Browning and land he owned in Bozrah and Norwich was sold. There is still due the sum of $3,527.79, but of this sum there is $1,o55-34 that represents interest that has accrued since the bank was closed.
 There is in the possession of Receiv- CT Browning land in Norwich, Montville and Bozrah and stables on Asylum street and there was lien on the sta- ble for $550. He had been offered $2,500 for the lot and this is the prop erty the court allowed him to dispose of, together with some small notes
 Damages of $500 were awarded by Aboussamara vs. Michael Sabagh, both of Stonington. It was alleged that on June 21, 1916, in Stonington, the plain tiff was beaten with a stick in the hands of Sabagh and was so badly hurt that he had to go to a hospital and was laid up for seven weeks.

OPEN LETTER FROM
 STATE CHAMBERS PRESIDENT.
Edward P. Jones Says Coming Season is to Be One of Great Activity.

The secretary of the local Chamber of Commerce has received the follow ing open letter from Edward P. Jones of Winsted, president of the Connecti- cut Chamber of Commerce:
 It is impossible for the president to visit every organization during the first month of the year. In fact, it will be very difficult to visit all the aSso- citations during the winter. I cannot, however, let the time go by without getting in touch with every one of the 1000 members which through their To- cal organization make up the state chamber. It is my desire that this communication be considered a per- sonal letter to each of your members.
 From all indications at the present time it would seem as if the coming season is to be one of great activity for the state chamber. You will know what is being done through your state director.
 things may be accom- mplished this year: First, I hope every local organization in the state will increase in numbers and render greater service to the com munity in which it exists than it has ever rendered in the past; second, I hope the state chamber will at the end of the year be larger more progress sive, vital directing force working for the best interests of the people of Con- necticut and accomplishing more than 1t has ever accomplished in the past.
 The first is your job, and you have the right to call for all the assistance the state chamber can give. Our new secretary, MT. Andrews. is a trained man and is at your service.
 The second is the job of your off, l cers and directors, and they have the l right to call for all the assistance you can give. If you do the first. the sec- ond will be easy. If you do not do | he first, the second will be impossible. l

sUBsc cRIPTIoN DANCE
 AT ELKS' HOME.
Dancing Exhibition by New London
 Girl Feature of the Evening.

The subscription dance given Friday evening by the local lodge of E1ks in their home on Main street was a de- cided success. Nearly 50 couples were in attendance and the dancing was en- joyed until 12 o'clock. Lang's orches- tra furnished the dance music, and at intervals during the evening punch was served by the committee in charge.
 One of the features of the evening was a dancing exhibition given by Miss Eva Farman of New London and George Garvey, formerly of this city, who gave an excellent exhibition of the latest dances showing that their terpsichorean education is not limited, as their numbers were complete and they responded to several encores.

Fashions Creed.

1t appears that the prevailing creed
in fashion is that a woman must not
think Of going'in her shirt sleeves any
more than a man would think of doing
It. She wears a wash blouse beneath
the jacket for purposes Of cleanliness,
but not publicity. So farreaching is
this creed that the medieval tunic
which extends only to the hip line and
is fastened to the shoulder or slips
over the head is worn over a blouse
with a cloth skirt even in the house.
Probably the best thing to remember
in buying clothes now is that the fig
ure must be Strengthened out, in the
medieval manner, from bust to hips.
You can choose your own way Of doing
it, whether by a deep girdle, by the
straight lines of the fabric or by belt
of suede or leather that conceals any
inward curve beneath the arms toward

NECK FIxINGs.
Gay Co!ors and Collar.
less Effects the THING.

Just when it seemed that the white
collar had become an obsolete feature
OF dresses 1t shows evidence Of reyiy-
ing, and it may be said that the broad
collar of satin or of lingerie fabrics
will be one Of the principal attractions
OF incoming fashions.
As things are at the present moment
many women look as If they had dress
ed In hurry and omitted the impor-
tant item Of neckwear. The French
designer who brought out the collar
less frock had in mind the eternally
young and piquant type Of girl. As
this type is limited, despite all efforts
to the contrary, it follows that only the
favored few look well dressed in the
gown sans collar.
There Is something rather commend
able In the dress that exploits a neck
finish OF gay color. 1t is in keeping
with the trend of fashion that empha-
sizes everything connected with sport
wear, whether the garment in ques-
ion has anything to do with athletic
life or otherwise.
Some of the color combinations are
decidedly startling. One finds green
associated with purple, and yellow
with old rose, and turquoise with pink.
Usually the collar is Of satin, and this
In itself supplies a decorative note
when the dress is Of wool jersey, serge
or similar fabric.
Frequently it happens that the color
OF the collar is repeated in the facing
OF the sash. A recent model shows a
collar whose front lines are extended
to give a four-in-hand effect. The
front of the bodice shows two slashes,
and through these the ends Of the
cravat are passed.

THE TALKING TREES.

Once upon time as the little birds
were making their long journey to the
pleasant warm countries where birds
spend the winter little robin was left
behind. He had lame wing, and lame
winged birds never can fly far.
Little robin looked about in the
strange woods where, tired out, he had
to stop. He crept up to a gnarled old
oak tree whose branches scared a hun
dred feet into the air.
Please let me stay with you all win
ter" the little bird pleaded. your
leaves will shelter me from the winter
winds"
But the oak was proud. go away"
he said. Il do not want tramp birds
like you about my branches"
The little bird sped to the beech tree
but the beech tree made believe not to
hear the robin.
The maple Is so lovely. Perhaps
she Is also kind" the little bird said.
And he went to the maple tree to ask
her for shelter. But the maple tree
was not kind.
He flew to the little stream along
which the white birch trees cleaned,
ut the birches said that they were not
trong enough to take dodgers.
As, tired and sorrowful, the little bird
tarted away on his lame wing a dark.
;haggy tree standing on the hill slope
called to him, Here you are welcome
TO shelter, little wanderer" 1t was the
all pine tree with thick needles which
'ould turn off the toughest winter wind.
Il, too, have home for you," called
the tall, dark spruce. And the stately
cedar whispered that if the little bird
cared to live near the dwellings Of man
not to overlook its sheltering branches
in the garden.
las for me-" called the little Juniper,
though may not be able to offer shell
ter, my berries will provide you with
food, to which you are welcome as long
as you need them"
And so the little bird stayed with
these kind ones, and every morning
and every evening he sang them little
song Of gratitude.
Old King Winter heard it one day
and learned the birds story. He said
to one Of his widest winds:
go out into the woods and strip
those unkind trees Of the leaves Of
which they are so proud, but the trees
that have been kind and willing to
share what they had with the unfortu-
nate shall always wear their green
leaves all winter"

EMBROIDERY CRETONNES.
How to Make Attractive Spreads by
the Art of Applique.

the Art of Applique.
Simple work for busy hands seems to
be In demand just at present. Ap-
pliqued patch embroidery is simple and
is made quickly.
To make centerpieces, cushion tops,
scarfs, tides or chair backs, clothes
bags, etc, plain linen or silk is needed.
preferably linen.
Circles Of applique are cut from
cretonne. The design should be a large
single flower or small spray in order to
cut three inch circles. The circles are
basted to the cloth and stitched on by
machine close to the edge. Chain stitch
around each circle with coarse thread,
then run through with a white thread
in what is called the blanket stitch,
or whip it straight along the last row
Of stitches, catching it over and over.
The white rolls in with the black and
is very pretty. A scroll is drawn in
by cutting out a figure which looks
well and then tracing it off on the
cloth.
In a centerpiece six medallions are
used, three in a pillow, three in each
end of a scarf and three in a chair
back. To finish the edge outline it as
the medallions were outlined. Dots,
which are often placed in the center Of
the scrollwork, are made of black in
the satin stitch.

The Slender Throat.

Too much flesh on the neck is fatal
bar to beauty. 1t is far simpler to put
flesh on a woman's throat than to take
it off, for If the tissues are fed with a
good skin food, such as cocoa butter,
the neck will soon begin to round out.
On the other hand, only exercise of the
most vigorous sort will reduce the size
Of the throat. For a tendency to a
double chin and to tighten the muscles
which have become loosened, try this
simple exercise: Throw the head back
as far as it will go, drawing the mus
cles tight. Now turn the head slowly
as far to the right as you can and then
to the left. Repeat ten times, increas-
ing as you become accustomed to the
strain. Massaging the neck with
piece of ice is excellent for coping the
flesh firm.

Some Wedding Ways.

Goodby to the plain gold band, at
least for awhile. The really smart
bride now wears a band Of platinum
set close with diamonds or merely a
plain band Of chased or filigree plati-
mum. Hoops Of platinum set with one
kind Of gems-rubies, emeralds, sap
phires, as the case may be-are surely
unusual as the symbol of "the tie that
binds" Green gold, the latest metal
fad in jewelry, is fashioned In plain
chased bands for the same digni1ed
purpose.
1t is something of change to have
the bridesmaids CARRIED with short wells
instead of hats or bonnets. The Gus
tom is pretty one when properly car
ried out. The veil may be a square of
hemstitched chiffon, bound pointwise
on the head with a circlet Of pearl
