sIUN JACKET TO Be POPULAR
Sleeves on Spring Suits Are Tight and
Cuffs, More often Than Not, Are
ExagseratedIy Fiaring.

In one Fifth avenue house, where
strong stress is laid upon the creation
of American-made suits and gowns,
there is a decided movement toward
the Elton jacket as q standard for
spring suits, says the New York Times.
The argument is that, If wool must be
conserved, then this Is the best manner
In which to do it. An Elton jacket is
graceful thing and IL has had a great
feminine appeal through all the ages.
In this, its latest adaptation, IL has lost
none of It's former charms and gained
new ones.
Three or four points are to be dis
tinctly noted about the new spring
things-Eton and otherwise. One Is
that the sleeves are tight and set into
normal armholes. There is a little or
no echo of the sleeves that fall into
the waistllne. Cuffs are, more often
than not. exaggeratedly haring and are
cut as parts of the sleeves themselves.
Often they are faced with contrasting
color of silk. Collars of white are
taboo. Either the collar is made of
the same material as the gown or of
one shade darker or lighter or of a
colored linen. There Is a great deal of
talk among those conservatives who
become welded forever to certain
style, about n white collar softening
the line. There are white collars that
are as hardening as can be and there
are colored collars and plain finishes
quite beautifully softening. It is all in
the art of the thing, after all, and in
the way that 1t Is handled.

Spring dresses for little girls are
abundantly displayed just now and all
women appear to enjoy looking ut
them. Surely she who has no interest
In any little one Is missing something
that belongs to her; for these little
dresses bring smile and lingering
look to all eyes.
CottOns as fine and smooth as those
woven In French looms, and enticing
colors, gay and soft, make the sections
of stores where the dresses are shown
as bright as spring gardens. These
fine cottOns are the product Of Ameri-
can looms and these lovely colors show
how great an advance has been made
In the manufacture Of American dyes,
the great war having compelled us to
rely upon ourselves for dyestuffs, we
may become entirely independent of
other countries.
The dress mt the left Is so adequate
ly pictured that It hardly needs de-
scription. It Is shown in several pat
terms of fine Bingham and Is made with
pockets cut on the diagonal, narrow
bias banding and collar OF plain
chambray of the same color as the
dark bar in the glngham. The little
dress ut the right Is Of Peter Pan cot.

An effective sports skirt is made Of

Patterns for dresses very like these

The rain storm early Tuesday morning and-thfs wind storm during the day did considerable damage about the Village. Tie first car to leave tho square might have bekn in tho river instead of on North Main street AS far as appearances went. The water on the road near the buildings used by
 the Marlin Rockwell corporation for storage purposes was nearly up to the veEiibuies of the cars, being about twr feet deep. The water flowed over inc window sills Of the old Reliance Wersted building onto the floors.
 Roath street suffered the most of any af the village streets although all slopes showed the affects of the storm The water dug a deep gully on tho solitr side of Roath street and left
 from s to 10, inches of mud on North Main street for a hundred yards south of their intersection. Many branch es were blown from the trees and 8
 large dead tree in the yard of the
 house at 15S North Main street was
 blown over against the house. No dam age was caused by the accident. .

Storm Ties Up Cars-Sehool -Chiidrel
 Attend War Pictures-PersonaIs.


 The storm early Tuesday morning worked bavoe with the Shore Line system in the neighborhood of the Village. There was a washout at the Lillibridge road and at Occum the. water made a trench at the side of tho road so deep that a man five feet ten. inches in height when he climbed in, to the trench could not be sean from the street.. There were :a* couple of
 wasllouts on the, upper end of Prov idence@st street,
 The most serious result of the storm in this vicinity was at the Town Pump curve on South B street. The rush of water threw the rails out of plumb and two of the early south bound cars were deraileds The work car was sentup in the forenoon and t was found necessary to lay a new curve. A force of about dozen men were
 kept busy until evening before the line was oper again. Later in the day there was ,cave-in at OccuHn that delayed the cars for a short time. Some of the early southbouhd cars from Willimantic had to clear long stretches of track with shopels before 1 they could proceed.
