PUTNAM

Putnann--and all of this section of eastern Connecticut-was introduced to what is becoming a nationwide fad when, Monday, State Attorney Charles E. Searls,0 president of the Connecticut State Bar association, appeared in brand new suit of blue denim-overalls and jumper mad everything.
 The eminent attorney appeared even more than ordinarily distinguished in his now very fashionable garb, and was greeted by his professional and business friends with many compliments.
 Seated in his office MT. Searls received his clients during the day and, in ad- dition to consulting with them found time to say something to them of his new suit and his reasons for donning it.
 Mir. Searls is not regarded here as a faddist: neither is his purse so strained that the present prices for mems cloth ing causes him worry. He just decided that he would like one of the practical suits that are being bought by the thousands-so went out and bought one. The innovation created a wave of in- terest here, and many were those who made it 8 point to see the creation in blue that the state attorney was wear 1 ing.
