Tails as a Decoration.
Again, 1t may be merely a matter of
tails, and the wrap or fur piece that
can count the most tails is easily the

Probably the rage for tails is trace
able to the rage for fringe and any

are the tails placed anywhere near the
spot nature intended them to be.

a semblance Of fringe Is the approved

Stripes Are in Evidence.
Stripes, so very wen liked in frOCks
and suits, find reflection in the furs
in the advancement Of the markings
50 any fur that has by nature a dark
stripe Is very desirable for the large
wraps that are so frequent.
For this purpose Chinchilla and
mink are immensely popular and the
peltS are extraordinary. Where the
coat or wrap is ordinarily trimmed
with q collar OF cuffs of contrasting
fur, borders and bands of the same
fur with the stripes of rich color in
ContruSJing arrangement are used in
stead.
On n wrap Of mink for evening or

running in the opposite direction is

crosses the back at the bottom. Tie

ly as the cut is most apt TO be straight

Sits ia a cape or very short sleeves in

Neither American makers nor buy
ers abroad favor the short sleeves in
furs, so the Coates and coats on this
side are all offered with regulation
sleeves.
Large Collars and Cuffs
Large collars and cuffs of the longer
haired peltS are a feature Of many fall
suits. Skunk, fox and pointed fox are
used and the collars are cut high, Civ
ing a luxurious air to the suit. When
the use of bands and large pockets
is noted it is usually in close fur, as
seal, squirrel or beaver. a suit of
French blue velOurS is fashioned with
flaring lines from the waist and
vest and high rolling chin collar of
squirrel fur. The fur is arranged so
that the stripes run horizontally

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The thoughtful Waterbury Aneri- can philosophizes to this effect while dealing in general with the case of prohibition in Connecticut: Tt Ca ref erendum) might furnish endorsement or a condemnation of the Legisla- ture's refusal to ratify the federal amendment, and, it would satisfy a legitimate curiosity as to how the voters of the state stand on the sub ject. But war prohibition comes on July l unless repealed by Congress or declared off by the President, And prohibition by federal amendment comes one January 1 next. So all state prohibition, or votes to that end, are practically a waste of effort" We wonder if that is so. It is of course, true that prohibition has been made a fundamental law of the land but it appears to have caused joy in only an exclusive circle. A very con- siderable and influential number are mad because they have no oppor- tunity to pass upon it. If the ques- ton by means of a proposed amend ment to the state constitution, was submitted to a popular vote and ac- cepted would it not lead the people of the state to support more vigor- ously the federal amendment? It it should fail! d warrant would exist for hereafter opposing in a spiritual man ner all further attempts to concen- trate power at Washington. We are in- clined to take exception to the contention of our valued contempo- rary that a referendum would con- situte a waste of effort.--New Haven i Journal Courier
Norwich bulletin., 1919-05-01
THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION.

Ill connection with the employment situation about the country it. is re- ported that there is great need of help on the farms but that great trou- ble is being experienced in relieving the situation. Many of those to whom such work is offered are not interest ed, either because their training lies in another direction or else they are pre- judiced against the requirements or the pay. The big pay of the war in dustries has undoubtedly had it's in fuence.
 But it is gratifying to note that many thousand inquiries are being re- ceived ill Washington in regard to the proposition of opening up lands that have been reclaimed or will be. This shows that while many who are out of employment and unwilling to become farm hands are nevertheless willing to undertake the tilling of the soil if they can get chance to do it as their own masters. That. however, isn't going to meet the requirements Of the farmers though much relief should come from the thousands of soldiers who are daily being returned from Europe If we are to judge by the reports from about the country from time to time the employment situation as a whole appears to be improving. h. dqstrial activity is by no means set tied but it is moving toward read justment. That there was a reduc. ton of 20 per cent. in the surplus la Dor in one week indicates what is taking place. Better weather condi- !, tions are helping, the different l trades are experiencing less difficulty
 in securing work, and the way il which help is being sought indicates that the outdoor employment is com ing to the relief of the situation. Al
 the assistance that can be obtained il
 the way of getting back to peace tim,
