THREE C's are prominent in our
minds this week. Every society
Il woman's date book is marked
with these three events. First
OF them all is the annual Creche card
party. which will be given at the Fon-
tenelle Tuesday afternoon from 2
o'clock on. Mrs. John A. McShane,
whose return from California was an
ticipated specially because of the
splendid work which she has done for
the party in previous years, will be
unable to attempt any of the work.
Mrs. Joseph Barker and Mrs. Harry
Jordan are to have charge of the play
on that afternoon. Miss Arabell Kim
ball, who inspires the work, has as
sembled a collection of exquisite
prizes. The ball room of the Fon-
tenelle is large enough to accommo-
date hundreds of you and your friends
at small cards tables. If the weather
is warm that large high-ceiled ball
room will be about the most comfort
able spot in the city, where you can
meet friend and foe. If outside the
late spring showers patter, the spa
cious room will prove haven OF rest
and entertainment.
Such good cause as the Creche
really ought not to be neglected. The
Child Saving Institute cares for chill
dren without homes. who are subject
to adoption, The hospitals care for
children who are sick. The schools
and Fairgrounds care for the older
youngsters. 1t is the little tots,
whose parents cannot stay at home or
hire nurses to tend them that the
Creche cares for. The day nursery is
an indispensable feature of modern
industry, we might say, for when
mothers are obliged to enter the
working world they must have some

 Mrs. Berkowitx wore the diamond yesterday in . pin while shopping and taking in the matinee at Fox's the- ater. Shortly after leaving the the- ater she discovered that the stone had worked loose.

 Today is the fourteenth since the slaying of Charles A. Taft. Hartford taxi-cab chauffeur, on Kensington avenue with the authorities, appar- ently no nearer solving the mystery than at the start. Tracing of the slayer by means of foot prints, found leading from Kensington avenue volver. was found, is being attempted c0rding to meager information given out by the authorities, indicate that the wearer of the shoes was man of athletic build. This is taken to dis prove. the theory that, the slayer was woman and to refute the communi- cation reported to have been turned over to States Attorney Hugh M. AL corn. It is intimated that the au- thorities have noted peculiarities about the shoe imprints that lead them to believe the purchaser may be traced and identified through search among shoe merchants and cobblers.
 So baflling Is the mystery and so meager the. success, thus far, that sev- eral of the authorities. working on the case believe the co-operation of the public should be freely sought. They freely admit their disapproval of States Attorney Alcorn's .'gag's rule. believing it to be unwise, unjust to the public and Instrumental in defeat ing the ends of justice.

A COMPLETE INSPECTION

There is an abundance of common sense in the plan suggested by pr. Henry I. Bray at the meeting of the Board Of Health Tuesday. Instead of the present method of medical in- spection for the local schools, which covers only the public institutions, Dr. Bray would have . more complete system. By taking the school in- spection Appropriation from control of the department of education and placing 1t with the health department . complete survey of the health of the city's school children might be had. Lately there has been a slight epidemic of skin diseases in the parochial schools. The doctors who inspect the health and sanitation of the public schools do not perform the same services at the parochial schools because the appropriation does not take this work into consideration. Yet, as pointed out by the medical authorities. the children of all schools meet and minefe after school hours. Precaution exercised at one end of the school system is thrown into the
 dtscard if at the other end there is
 no public supervision over health
 conditions.
 During the present winter there
 have been unusual epidemics of diseases in this state. That New
 Britain was practically free from these is due in no small measure to pr. T. Eben Reeks, Superintendent of the Health Department, and his assistants, among whom is Dr. Bray. When these men call attention to needed
 change in the supervision of the lpublic health their observations should be carefully considered. They are working for the best interests of
 the city. They have no axes to erind.
 They have no oftenses to rive. They
 deal in facts, And facts tho only
