Elected Town Clerk in 1903

He was a volunteer in the army, but was drafted into politics, In October 1898 he was elected town clerk of the town Of New Britain when he was not a candidate, had not sought tho position and was not even present at the caucus which nominated him. He was TO- elected continuously 10 this office for 20 years.
 Resigns After Controversy
 In 1918 there arose a crisis in ihe political history of New Brit ain, resulting from criticism of tho office of the town clerk by tho late Councilman Otto Burkhardt, who was chairman Of the commit- tee on supplies and printing. Tho controversy arose over q re-inde%- ing of office records and so upset rhn veteran clerk that he took 10 his bed with q nervous breakdown. As a result of this situation, his fricnds claimed at the time, he suddenly submitted his resignation on March l0 1918. with more than a year Of his torm left 10 serve. He gave as hls only reason for resign ing that of i'll health,
 The resignation was accepted by the common council several days later at q session in which the re- tiring clerk was highly lauded. The words with regret were voted into the acceptance of the resignation on motion Of George A. Quigley, then councilman from the second ward

 "God bless you in your declining days and may they be filled with happiness Mr. Pcnfeld expressed appreciation of the words of his successor.
 "Lorcn D. Penhcld, under the authority of the state of Connecti- cut and of the charter of the city of New Britain, tender you the position of deputy town and city clerk in my office said Town Clerk Thompson handing him an official appointment,
 The preferred appointment was q surprise to every man in the room. including MT. Penficld. Mir. Thomp- son., said he. T thank you for this expression of your high regard for me, but I must decline, cannot accept it.
 The new town clerk then turned 10 the men in the room and thanked them for their presence"
 The first official act Of the new town clerk was to administer oathS of office to the following council men: John A. Dolan, William Haus- man, A. N. Rutherford. F.. A. Par ker, II. J. Collins and F. J. Callahan. Penheld's last official act as town clerk was the signing of a burial permit for Charles H. Parsons.

BERLIN
Spinsters, Impatient of Bashful Men, Now Want to Have Leap Year"
 Week Once Each Year

Berlin. Jan. 0--German spinslers, weary of indirect methods of snaring the elusive male. are agtating for q recognized 'leap year" week in each year during which It shall be their privilege to propose The idea has been presented to the government marriage bureau. and proposes that there shall be each year not one, but seven days dedicated to St. Catherine, the patroness of unmarried women. Several spinisters' organizations arc backing the pro- poSal.
 Officials of the marriage bureau say that when a girl in Germany Is 27 years old and unmarried her chances of getting a husband are about one in five. Although the number of marriages has been restored to pre-war figures, 1t is notable that those between middle aged men and comparatively young girls arc more and more frequent
 There is large surplus of women between the ages of IS and 45, the war having caused a deficiency of men in the twenties and thir- ties Men too young to have served in the war are marrying girls of their own ages Older men take their time about marrying be- cause they have no trouble in getting brides of less than 27. 4 German frauein, however, usually celebrates her "black birthday" at 26. as in many other countries After that age she Is eligible to "Oid Maid" clubs.

WOMEN's STYLES CHANGE

The unusually severe weather in Paris this winter with heavy snowfalls, has caused an innovation in women's styles which for once cannot be called illogical. Fur stockings made their first appearance in the Bois de Boulogne when 1t lay buried under three inches of snow.
 Those seen thus far are made of rabbit, squirrel and skunk skins, are worn with heavy low shoes and reach just above the knee.
 The fact that shoes have to be worn a stze larger than is usually necessary and the high cost of the material has thus far prevented the new stocking from becoming common. and thin silk stockings are still in the overwheln1. ing majority.
