 The state of mind of the legislators must have made marked impression upon the Bridgeport delegation Hartford for every member of the delegation yesterday before committee Cities and Boroughs went record favoring the inquiry
 This they did in spite of the fact that Mayor Wilson ap oeared in opposion and spoke against the not improbable that the Committee Cities and Boroughs will port the bill favorably.

 This will be we'll for estops all talk of partisanshp unfairneSs There will not be Democratic investigation of Republican administration but Republican investigation.
 Senator Clark is himself large taxpayer His support of the inquiry is impressive this account Senator Clark member of the advisory committed where he had opportunity to observe in detail the financial condition of Bridgeport
 Mayor Wilson suggested that since Senator Clark the advisory committee and there gave his consent to of bonds pay maturing bonds that he must therefore be regarded as particeps in what has been done.
 This Is falacious view. When Senator Clark went to he advisory committee he discovered horrible shape which the cty finances had been brought He found the city unable meet it's current expenses and its maturing de and recommended the only by which inc ev already oompished without his participation consent could be healed .aSAsAaNND

FACTS ABOUT FAIRIES.

They haven't thing put by, But theirs Is the dover of bird and of flower, And theirs are the earth and the sky. And though you should live in a pal ace of gold Or sleep in dried-up ditch, You could never be poor as the fair les are, And never as rich. Since ever and ever the world be- gan They have danced like a ribbon of
 flame, They have sung their song through the centuries long, And yet 1t is never the same. And though you be foolish or though you be wise, With hair of silver or gold, You could never be young as the fairies are, And never as old.

0. A. HOSTESS HOUSE
 Four hundred thousand persons and more served in the eafateria in one year is the record of the Y. w. c. A. Hostess House at Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash.
 The majority of the 400,00 diners were mothers, wives, sweethearts and friends who went to the camp to visit their soldiers. The remainder were soldiers themselves who broke the monotony of chow with home cooked meals. In addition to all these guests. 25,000 little children were cared for in the nursery and the rest room served 10000 tired wives and mothers.
 The workers at the information desk received and answered 97,O00 questions varying from how to get the best connections to a destination clear across the continent, to the rates of soldiers insurance and the kind of cretonne a girl bride should have in her living room when Private John comes home from France. Eleven thousand of these queries re- ouired telephone converse tions with various company commanders rela- tive to hunting up a soldier whose parents had arrived unexpectedly.
 Had this building stood for just one months service and that the month of June, 1t would have been worth while,' says Miss Constance Clark, director. We made it easier during that hard month for hundreds of women who were going through the hardest experience of their lives. Our rest room was filled with women, almost beside themselves with grief and sorrow at parting from their loved ones. The house sheltered many a mother whose son was hope lessly i'll and in the hospital then and during the recent influenza epidemic''

It seems strange that in these days

It seems strange that in these days of the narrow, slim skirts. the ma terials that were worn by grand mother when the puffed panniers and hoop skirts were popular, should be coming back. But they are. trium- phantly. The pussy willows, taffetas and satins in pompadour effects. with their clusters of gay flowers effective ly placed against a pale background are being introduced in the best shops. One local shop. the silk de- partment of which Is. especially ade- quate. shows any number of these materials. A very dainty piece is of orchid satin with clusters of con- ventionalized roses in shades of rose and blue. Another is of pale yellow with pale pink tulips making 1t col orful.
