From the time when in Rome silk
sold for its actual weight in gold and
was worn only by royalty, to today
when it is With nthe reach of the av-
erage person as to price and is uni
versally worn, sa long jump but has
bee accomplished through the in
genuity of American manufacturers
who have succeeded in so perfecting
processof production that silk is now
an economy instead of an extrava-
eance as it was first considered.
The United States leads the world
/ nthe manufacture Of silk with an
annual output of approximately $715,-
100000, bunying seventy per cent Of
the ray silk produced in the Orient
and Italy and producing every con-
ceivable articles in which silk can be
advantageously used.
1t is doubtful if there has ever been
in this city a better rounded display
of merchandise that appeals to women
than has been prepared locally for
this week. From silk rsatin slippers,
lingerie, hosiery, to dresses, wraps,
hats and gloves with scores of other
accessories in between, the assort-
ments are strikingly complete. Colors
and designs are novel and beautiful
but not bizarre and the lines of the
newest costumes are gracefully artic-

New York. - Back in the days when
tn egold brick was in its prime, the
cartoonists of New York and other
population centers had very merry
time depicting the straits of the in
nocent outlander who came on a visit
to the big city and exchanged good vii
lage money for a handsome package
of lead or papers. Never was it adj
mitted or even dreamed that a New
Yorker himself could fail to penetrate
the miles of the con man. But here in
this over-sophisticated year off 1871,
a New York woman has had man ar
rested for selling her a restaurant
whic hnever existed and never expects
to exist His method was the simple
one of advertising restaurant FOR
sale. at 1903 West 40th street. Where
upon Miss Hilda Stranenna read the
adj, took her little $4,000 and paid 1t
to the Broker" Edward Jonas. Forti-
eth street being a pretty central, con-
venient place to walk to, Miss Siren
enn took time afterwards to stroll
around to see her property. 1t was
then she discovered that the hole IN
the doughnut has nothing whatever on
the address she had bought, so far
as restaurant occupancy is concerned

SILK WEEK Is
CELEBRATED BY
MERCHANTS HERE
Local Stores and Shops Offer Special
Bargains in Silk Goods This
Week in Nation Wide
Celebration.

In celebration of the four thousand
five hundred and sixty-frst annver-
sary o fthe discovery of silk by the
Chinese Empress Si-ling-chi in 264O
B. c., National Silk Week was inaug-
urated here this week. Local mer-
chants, from department store pro-
prietors 10 the owners of the smaller
individual shops that handle merchan-
disc in which silk is used in produc-
ton, are featuring silk and silk pro-
ducts for the entire woekk. Not only
here but throughout the entire coun-
try this idea is being carried out. In
China at a specified time each year,
the Chinese commemorate the memory
Of Si-ling-chi who is known as the
Goddess of the Silkworm." The cere-
monies are extremely picturesque and
quaint in China but in the practical
United States the form assumes dis
tinctly commercial aspect which is
however enlivened by the delight of
women--a styles show.
Man 70 fthe latest American styles
creations shown at the recent Inter
national Silk Exposition in New York
will be shown here in replica either as
window displays or upon the forms of
beautiful girl models. 1t will be the
first public showing of these styles
outside of New York and gives Nation
al Silk Week much the aspect of a
spring styles salon.
Local merchants anticipate that this
silk week will give a remarkable i'm
petus to the spring and summer buy
ing season and have laid their plans
accordingly to afford their customers
the best possible opportunity to see
all that is new in everything into the
manufacture of which silk enters,
which means very wide range of ar
ticles for men as well as for women.

February, usually a passive, unen-

man who coldly shot down a detective
who came to his office to inquire about

to figure out how it could happen, but
they just fall back on shaking their
heads and saying, OUR Mr.. Davis!
He never could have done anything
wrong" But Davis himself called his

and told what he had done, cody and
concisely.

COMMUNICATED
Editor New Britain Herald,

EQlLOr NeW Britain Herald,
 Dear Sir:-Your editorial in last eve ning's issue By the People for the Peo- pie on Allen street sewer was inter- esting and inviting. It urged the peo- pie to take more interest in city mat ters, then it went on further criticizinc people who have taken interest, also critcizing members of the council in interfering with the infallible engin- eer'S department.
 I believe that it's the duty of any citizen to inform his councilman or ald- erman of things that pertain to city government. It's the duty of the off cia1S to investigate and that is what l have done I privately called the may or by telephone and asked him to find care of sewers on Allen, Lawler, Mo Clintock and other streets. The mayor promised that he would look into the matter and thanked me for it. o what a crime was committed; why should interfere or even ask the mayor ques- tion?
 How about sewers on Park street: How long ago were sewers laid on Myr- tie street, and they have to be dug III again. Of course it makes more work and eventually more taxes. 1 have done my duty, let the people take an inter est in city affairs, let them investigate for themselves.
 Respectfully yours,
 A. M PAONESSA, Alderman of the 9th Ward.

A hearing was held recently on the petition and, al- though he had no official report on the hearing yet, he has been advised that the commission, anxious as usua to give the Connecticut company everything it possibly can, will per mt him to run to kensington only during the busy part of the day. The commission however is said to be il favor of permitting him to operate a buss line to Meriden after the last trcin around o'clock at night anG one eady trip in the morning bringing employees to the local factories
 However. MT. French has been promised the franchise of the pro- posed railroad which never was built over this road.
