tent by Berlinites. With packages and bundles, passengers completely cram the busses until not a spare inch is left. With blocked aisles and filled seats. the busses speed to re- gain their lost time. The combin- ation Is thought unsafe by residents of this place.
 The peak of the congestion is reached between and o'clock when returning shoppers are crowd ed in with employees of New Britain factories. Always more or less crowded, the Christmas rush has made the evening runs continual jam.
 The addition of relief busses to run between the regular schedule runs of the Connecticut company is thought to be the only solution to the problem. Such busses could op- crate only at the peak hours and need only make the trip from New Britain 10 Hudson street, the Meri- den passengers being transferred at that point. Traffic beyond Hudson street is negligible as compared with the passengers using the busses street.
 Church Entertains
 The annual Christmas tree party of the Kensington Methodist. church Sunday school was held last evening at 7:30 o'clock The children of the Sunday school received gifts and gave recitations and songs.
 The Berlin Congregational church's annual Christmas enter tainment to the Sunday school will be held this evening at 7;30 o'clock in the church parlors. The usual entertainment consisting of stories, songs and recitations will be given and the children will receive gifts.

 The Connecticut Co, which has endeavored to cooperate with this place in efficient transportation fa- cliities has fallen down sadly on the Christmas rush problem it is thought by Berlinites.
 The busses. which operate on a convenient and practical schedule for normal times have been crowd ed past capacity within the past few days with no additions to the. serv- ice.
 As most of the shopping done by Bcrlinitcs is completed in New Brit ain and residents of this place are using the busses az popular means of transportation, it has thrown an unusual number of passengers on the line and has created much conges- ton. This has delayed the busses and thrown them off schc lule until at the present time it is claimed, they are dividing their time between making mad dashes to catch up to schedule and being delayed by the crowds of waiting passengers
 While the delay in schedule i. not a serious spe, the overcrowdins of the vehicles is considered inconven-

that parents are not entirely without

Heaven knows how hard it Is for a

be infinitely harder for a mother to

Perfect poise lies exacly in the mid
die of the two extremes of the swing
of a pendulum. 1t is we'll to think of
this in connection with the decoration
of old and modern homes. for in be-
tween the extreme severity of utili-
tartan decoration of the old-fashioned
house and the ultra -ornateneSs of
some of the periodic decoration of the
mid Victorian era there is a happy
mean which combines usefulness with
beauty.
Just now we arc so fortunate as to
be nearer this happy mean than for
many a long year. We are returning
to the exquisite simplicity of furni-
ture in simple direct lines and proper
tjonS, in the revival of antiques. and
we are including modern convenienceS
without overelaborateneSS of design.
We are combining with these two de-
sirable elements beauty of color III
decorative schemes in a way that
makes color of prime Importance
whatever the fabrics may be, whether
actually costly or cheap. In buying
furniture for a new home or in adapt
ing what we have to present needs
