Representative Hall, of Wilmington,
declared this bill was a real undermin-
ing of town government. 1t means the
Cozey Beach association and town
government of East Haven are at log
ger heads and bring their dirty linen
to the state capitol for washing. This
bill will mean a dangerous entering
wedge and ought never reach the stat
ute book. The senate member of the
committee is a summer resident of Co
Zey Beach and came to the capitol and
expected through his influence to cram
this measure down the threats of SEN
sible fair minded men, a bill that if
left on it's own merit it would fall by
its own weight.
Representative Geary of Waterford,
said the pressure that had been
brought against his frail body, in the
past two weeks on this matter. The
senate chairman had intinated that if
Mr.. Geary did not favor the bill, mat
tiers in which he was interested might
fall by the roadside. He was glad to
see that the temperament of the house
was on the Lords side.
Mr.. Gates of Old Saybrook moved the
previous question. which prevailed, and
the motion to indefinitely postpone
was carried. A motion to reconsider
was lost.

poultry shall be identified by a placard

certificate of health is issued.

ment for damage by dogs was favor

ion of the selectmen the damage shall

BEADS ADD TO TRIMMING
OF WAISTS AND DRESSES

designers of one piece dresses have
quite outdone their efforts of previous
seasons in the charming offerings
Whicf they are sending out this
spring.
The fashionable silhouette effect is
secured by strict adherence to the long
lines and artistic draping which ac-
complishes the most through the use
| OF the least possible amount of mate
RAJ. While certain of the best exam
| pies come with ruffles of taffeta. these
are for very slender figures, and no
| buyer at all inclined to stoutness
would make the mistake of selecting
| such a model.
Georgette continues the favorite
faorlc for these dresses, with of course
| me serges in wool. Many of the
waists are cut on the new colIarless
pattern, N-effect front and back.
Much emphasis is laid on smart
| peits, all sleeves are long, there are
| touches OF gay oriental embroidery on
some of the bodices, others are draped
surp!lce-style. OF course the popular
beading is very conspicuous This
| beading, by the way, is frequently seen
IN contrasting colored edges on girdles,
| banding cuffs, neck finish, touches on
simulated pockets, in fact, everywhere
to carry out the favorite fad of the
moment for beads, beads. beads.
There are stories told of clever
women, who not being able to pay the
price for some of these extensively
| finished smart frocks, have purchased
less expensive dresses. adding the bead
touches themselves-the effects of
their work being rich, modish and sat
! isfactory.
! Beads are seen, also, on many of the
high priced waists. They are added
TO the dainty embroidery which figures
so largely in the finish of many of the
choicest blouses in georgette and voile.
Some of thees waists in flesh geor-
gette, embroidered and beaded, are
priced $3.50
/ Narrow silk fringe, too, is used on a
few of the new blouses. One seen
Thursday was of white georgette, its
silk collar on the sa1Ior order being
edged with narrow silk fringe. The
price tag read $3.50.
At the same time a display was
made of white and flesh satin blouses,
cut high neck, which sell for 1898. A
natty touch was given a flesh geor-
gette model by the finish of narrow
black grosgrain ends. The price of
this beautiful waist is $3.50.
The style display continues daily,
early shoppers having the advantage
OF securing the really new models in
handsome frocks and blouses.

can equal careful consultation of the
