COMMUTERS HIT
Increase In Fare, Effective October is,
Announced BY New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad.

The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Co. has issued a
new tariff which goes into effect on
October Is, in which change takes
place that will affect great number
of New Britain commuters between
this city and other places nearby. The
tariff shows an increase Monthly
in the cost of books.
The most important change is the
discrimination entirely of the three
months communication books of tickets
and the tariff states that from October
10 on, only monthly books will be
authorized to be sold.
The increase in the prices of the
tickets depends entirely on the sta
ton to which the commuter travels.
There has been no specific proportion
of increase and the cost of tickets to
some stations has increased a great
deal more than to others. The cost
of tickets for one month between this
city and Hartford or Bristol is 40
cents per month. The former cost Of
monthly book of tickets was ss32
and the cost after October Is will be
1872. both prices covering the cost
per month.
Boston. Sept. 17.-Notices of an in
crease of 20 per cent in rates for
season tickets and monthly
students tickets to become effective
October 10. were filed with the state
of public utilities today by
the Boston and Maine. NJ. n, N. H.
and H, and Boston and Albany rail-
roads. This follows the action of the
roads last week in asking for a SINH.
lar increase on computation tickets in
the Boston committing zone which re-
quire the approval of the department
before becoming effective.
The Washington times., 1923-10-18
By Dorothy Garfield,

18th BIEN, since it's you
who are going home.
you drive on a little
farther than my Cousin Hetty's
house, until up before you slopes
a lovely meadow, smooth, bright,
shining green, like the enamel
green field in the Limbo where
Dante puts Electra and Hector
and Caesar. At the top Of the
slope, q long line of splendid,
splendid elms, like this, you know
;" with her two hands and
a free, upward gesture Of her
arms, she showed the airy open
ing-out of the wine-glass elms,
''and back of them a long old
house, ever so long, because
everything is fastened along to-
gether, house, porch, woodshed,
hay-barn,. carriage-shed. horse
barn." She laughed at the recoI-
lection, turning to him. You've
seen those long New England
farm homes? I remember a city
man said once that you could
see the head OF the lady of the
house leaning from one window
and the head of COW from an
other. He thought that the most
crushing thing that could be said,
but think those homes perfectly
delightful, homely, with a cachet
houses in other countries. And
really, you know" she turned
serious, thinking suddenly that
perhaps he needed reinsurance,
''really, it's just as clean as any
other way of living. You're just
as far away from the animals. as
with any other barn, because you
have so much woodshed and hay
barn and things between you"
To see her face with that quite
new, housekeeping, matter-of- fact,
practical look gave him the most
absurd and illogical amusement.
He laughed outright. "Oh, don't
think for moment that I would OBJ
ject," he cried gayly. I'm not bit
fastidious. I wouldn't care how
near the cows were-if they werc
nice cows!"
She thought for an instant he
might be laughing at her, and
peered keenly into his face, a more
openly observing look than she had
as yet given him. What she saw
evidently reassured her. for she
went on with lighter tone, Truly
it has its own sort Of architectural
beauty. It doesn't have a bit of
