Wall Streets
 Benefactions

New York, Dec. 10-Wau Street is gradually recovering from the general economic depression of the past two years and signs point to a liberal dis tribution of bonuses and gratituties at Christmas. During the boom per iod of the great war. holiday gifts by the many financial institutions, brokerage houses and exchanges were on a very generous Scabe. These ranged in many eases from 25 to 50 per cent or even more of yearly sal aries.
 This was exclusive of the quarterly or semi-annual payments of 25 to 50 per cent. of salaries given to employees to meet the increased costs of living. In the year now ending many banks abandoned the distribution of these bonuses, evidently on the theory that living conditions in many essentials had become less onerous.
 majority of the banks and bank ing houses aIlot their holiday gifts on the basis of length of service, while other give fixed amounts based on salaries.
 The offerings of the New York Stock Exchange to it's employees usual ly take the form of Christmas boxes to which members make fixed contri- buttons. In addition there are inn promptu celebrations~on the exchanges when personal gifts are distributed, usually by a pseudo Santa Claus.
 In the aggregate, Wall Streets ben elections, even in these transitory times, are likely to run into hundreds of thousands of dollars.

 A surplus of about s7Oo.ooo in the treasury of the Connecticut Company at the end of the current year is forecasted by returns filed with the public utilities commission for the eleven months ended November 30.
 This reversal fo last years deficit of s1,4S6.ooo is attributed to the in creased fare together with economies in operating methods.

All Theatres And
 Halls Under New Haven Ban


 New Haven. Dec. 10-The period Of grace which Chief Of Police Smith has given to theatre manaSements in which to apply for new licenses will expire on Monday. This will permit the carrying out of the Sun day programs. The instructions of Mayor Fitzgerald were to have all permits recalled so that each moving picture house may be inspected be- fore a new permit is issued.
 At the time the mayors instruc- tions were given to Chief Smith it was thought that only moving picture houses were covered by it but the chief says that it not only covers every theatre but every public hall as well. Inspection will be under the present laws, which, it is claimed. are much more stringent than those un- der which most of the theatres here were inspected. The new building code also is more drastic and may affect many of the public halls in which dances are given.

SiZk Sui, q Winter Necessity
By Carolyn T. Radnor-Lewis

Now that winter modes have settled down into a state of actually being, we can be frank and admit that there is little that is actually new. There are certain hallmarks which you will dis cover in the sleeves, the girdle and perhaps in the length of skirt, but practically no adical change that is going to banish into the discard the frock or hat of yesteryear. There is, however, the exception that makes every rule and that is the silk suit-and for winter.
 Are you acquainted with this late arrival in the wardrobe? It has in the past made its appearance in the spring and during the summer, but to-day it is here and will occu- py a place in the cen ter of the clothes stage during the win ter.
 Your first doubt will be regarding its warmth. However, a professor of t h e Rockefeller Institute says that silk next to the skin is two and a half times warmer than wool. All that is nee essary in the silk suit is just the interlining you would add to your cloth suit.
 As for it's appear ance; of that there is no question. The silk suit always looks just right. /And it's not hard to keep it look ing well, provided you select a silk that re- fuses to show the signs of wear and
