{ had been forced out the previous
year by the erection by the Eng

those from Watertown estab-
lished Wethersfeld. For q few
years they remained q part Of
Massachusetts, but early in 1889
the people Of these three towns
met and drew up written con-
stitution and agreed to govern
themselves. Meanwhile, III 1888,

der the leadership of John DaV-

settled tho town of New Haven,

Up.to-Date Fashions

The road 10 fame is long and steep
and rocky for some people; others
leap into prominence ut q single
bound And, the same thing. is true
of things sartorial. One of the most
interesting as we'll as the most signi-
fcant happenings in fashionland this
season is the way in which the sash
has landed on the tip-top pinnacle OF
popularity. Some one is sure to say
at this junction that the sash has been
worn more or less for several seasons
past. True, but rather less than more.
But within the past two weeks 1t has
become decidedly dominant note in
dress, and that is saying great deal
with the modes so varied. 1t is being
adopted on all Sides 1t is not only
favorite with the frock but the blouse
likes it quite as well, and it is whisper
ed about that the honest-to- goodness
shirt waist, tho familiar affair that
tucks in under the skirt band. is going
to demand a ribbon sash to offset its
primness. When fashion wishes to
emphasize the long waistline she
drops the girdle we'll down over the
hips and not infrequently the effect
is sttll: more heightened by adding
great ,bowI.at the side. This method
used upon an. evening frock would
lead one. to think at once of train.
When the sash is adjusted properly
and knotted in. a soft bow the entire
lire. of the Afrock is changed. In the
case of the. blouse and: skirt it sue.
ceeds at least in giving jaunty air to
the costume.

Be she dark or he she fair, the lass
that you stop to look at is the one
which reflects charm, and there is no
more decided factor in assuring the
latter than individuality. The moment
one follows the "cut and dried" order
of things, sartorially speaking OF
course, one. fails TO hold the interest
of the folks that count. Not under
but over is the accepted means by
which the blouse Of the day achieves
favor for itself Of course, it would
be going too far to say that the tuck
in shirt-waist is no longer acceptable
in the eyes Of fashionable women. 1t
has and probably always will have it's
ardent supporters, but youth at least
perfers to be served by the blouse that
follows the lines of least resistance
and does about as it pleases above
and not beneath the skirt. Perhaps
there is no one thing that so in

Faulty Chimney May Be
Cause of Furnace Ills

Efficiency in warm air heating sys-
TENS Is not obtained by guess or rule
OF thumb methods. The rules enter
ing into the science of heating can
not be ignored in installing an eff
ficient heating plant. These rules
must be considered and applied with
judgment. One OF the first steps is
the selection OF the furnace.
Some Of the principal factors gov
erning the determination OF the size
OF furnaces are the cubic feet Of
space TO be heated and the wall and
glass exposures. Rules are estab-
lished for this purpose II Is often
reckoned matter OF economy to
use a furnace one size larger than
in actually required
Having the furnace selected It also
IS necessary to choose the proper size

and risers, the registers, the smoke
pipe and the chimney. In order to In
sure an efficient heating plant.
Should one run Of pipe or even the
entire heating system fail TO produce
the desired results, it is no doubt
due TO the non observance of the
careful checking back over the pipe
or the system will disclose the error.
Frequently a furnace installation is
made in a manner which approaches
"a high degree OF perfection. yet the
