The plant has been idle for a mum

The plant has been idle for a mum -s Der of years, even during the war, when practically every available plant was being used for manufacturing. The cid Berlin Wheel company built the factory and operated it about 20 years ago, doing a big business in wagon wheels. The P. & F. Corbin. Go. of New Britain later. bought the place, but did not make much use of it, later selling to to the Steward Rub- Der company. The Hartford Burial Case company then bought it and shortly afterward placed in on salss.

R. is made up of members from the three dis tricts. It is a rare treat to hear Miss Clark in "Pollyanna." pr. Frank Crane says: l "Pollyanna is pure joy. It is ] human from skin to bone. It is fun.

An. option was taken yesterday. on the Kensington factory now owned by sthe Hartford Burial Case company of Hartford by the Britannia Metal Ware company. Representatives were here yesterday looking over the prop erty with a view of buying it if it suited their needs. Before they left for New York they took a two weeks option on the property. The plant IS practically right on the main line and ,this fact alone impressed the com- pany.
 group of Polish business men have been looking over the factory for the past two weeks with 8 view of buying the property and it is under stood that the New Y ork concern beat them out by securing an option. It a was the plan of the oPlish group to put the plant to use as a photogra phic plant for the making and development of motion picture film. There is no doubt in the minds of the owners that if the New York concern fails to pur- chase the factory, the other group will acquire possession.

If it isn't Babs! Or at least it must
be Babs' twin. Surely Mary Roberts
Rinehart would dress her famous
sub-deb, Babs, in just such a frock
and hat. At any rate, it just goes to
show that the fapper is going to have
her fling at imported frocks just like
her older sister and her mother. And
surely n f1apper would be 'just
perfectly crazy" about this school
frock and pronounce it ''too sweet for
anything"
We r going to see more imported
frocks this coming winter han we
have see for many seasons past.
While some American women are not
taking up the Paris modes as rapidly
as was expected, this girlish frock Of
Paris design will surely find many
admirers. For every day or school
wear it may. be made of navy blue
serge or jersey. The skirt is full and
Tightly plated, while the little blouse
is plain with oddly cut sleeves. Crisp
organdy collar and cuffs form the
only trimming inc a fetching tie and
handkerchief add piquaht finishing
touches. If made of satin with
georgette collar and cuffs, the frock
may be worn for afternoon affairs.
