Whatever it was Duke Gar
son had to say to her-it was
perilously close to a declaration
Of love-was too difficult for
easy expression. When he
stopped in the midst of it,
Connie was glad; she was not,
now, ready to hear it; her mood
Of receptivity had passed and
she was determined to hear no
more. There would be other
days, other nights
I'm tired" she said, rising.
"Do you mind If I go to bed"
He was instantly apologetic,
with swift comprehension
that their opportune moments
had been exhausted.
"Forgive me" he said,
quickly. "Of course, you're
tired"
But you can sit up as long
as you like" she told him, hos
pitably. go to bed when you
are ready. If you are hungry

get you something?"
mo, nothing" he told her.
II think I'll sit out here for an
other cigarette before I turn in
myself"
In bed, with a soft breeze
blowing across her light cover,
Connie was lulled gently to-
wards sleep despite the per.
sistent thoughts that clamored
In her mind for attention.
Drifting Into Slumber
It was comfortable to lie there
slowly drifting into sl1lmber.
with her entire being saturated
with a softly excited feeling Of
satisfaction. Her mind was upon
Duke Carson, and to think OF
him brought q deep, mysterious
comfort. AS she thought Of
him, it was not in a physical
way; no desire Of the touch OF
his magnetic hands. or the
crushing sensation Of his en-
brace. She had momentarily,
in swift gusts, experienced such
yearning during the day, but
now all Of that was instinct,
and replaced by a quiet assur-
ance of we'll being. Nothing
in her life-no man-had ever
affected her quite like this.

Look Like Silk Dresses
Dresses Of sheer wool aren't
only fashionable and comfort
able now. They're going to be
fashionable and comfortable in
the spring, too. You can wear
them then without a coat.
And they have all the fashion
features of a silk dress.
They're often trimmed with
silk and very often with lin
gerie touches in collar and
cuffs. There's nothing heavy
or bulky about them. They fit
Just like silk dresses and are
worn just like silk dresses for
general and sports occasions.
It's the fine crepey weaves
of these sheer woods that are
most in fashion for general
daytime dresses. While the

A Beautiful Friendship
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
About three months ago the
young man I was going with,
and whom I intended to marry
sometime, was suddenly killed
in an automobile accident. I
was away at the time and was
unable to be here for the fu-
neral. A month or more after
his death, when I returned, I
called on his mother and she
returned to me some letters
that I had written to him. Was
I right in doing this?
His mother was lovely to me,
and invited me to visit her as
often as I wished. I love her
dearly, and would like very, very
much to do this, but hesitate,
as 1 had only met her once be-
fore his death. Would it be
correct for me to visit her?
H. A.
OF course, visit the mother.
You two should be very dear
and precious to each other, for
you both loved and understood
this son Of hers that was so
sadly taken away. The fact that
you knew her so little makes no
difference; she would not have
asked you so cordially to come
to see her If she had not wanted
to have you. And you could be,
and will be, I am sure, an
enormous comfort to each other.

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
Beatrice Fairfax

She Turns Away Her Head
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A couple of months ago I
was introduced to q young
man and he took me out o
couple of times, but I found
him very SLOW" Do you think
that's because he doesn't care
for me very much, or is it
his way? Last time We went
out we had a violent quarrel
and he said goodbye" When
we see each other on the
street now, I just turn my
head and pretend not to see
him. Still he looks and smiles
as il he wants to speak. What
shall I do? PATRICIA.
If you turn away your head,
how do you expect the boy to
speak to you, my dear Pa
tricia? Would you like him
to run round on the other side
and try to speak to you from
that angle, and don't you think
that sort of marathon might
create considerable attention in
the street? Be sensible. Next
time you see the boy, speak
to him. Cut out the coquetry.
AS to his being slow-what do
you mean, that he's dull and
stupid, or that he is what is
called fast? If the latter,
I'm glad for your sake that
you don't find him thrilling.

to use for one who takes her
place more or less-I suggest
that you talk 1t over with your

Mother" The Aunt" idea
is usually the best solution for
this problem. Don't you think

City Ready For
 Easter Celebration
Churches Await Usual Throngs as Resurrection Be- comes Theme of Services = Fashion Parade in Afternoon

Easter Sunday, commemorating the resurrection of Christ, will be fittingly observed in Waterbury to- morrow. The spiritual significance of the occasion will be sufficient for thousands to throng the various churches for the impressive services that mark one of the most joyous events in the Christian calendar.
 The latest dictates of fashion will be display in the customary, infor- mal Easter parade. The weather man. apparently in a radiant mood promises clear, fair weather for the day. The abundance of flowers in evidence about the streets for the past few days indicates that the beautiful sentiment of remembrance is still treasured by many. There will be lilies and flowers in abund- ance in the churches, in the home and for milady's corsage bouquet. And flowers for hundreds who in eternal sleep await another resur- rection day.
 Easter Sunday is hailed with happy anticipations by many ;.ot only for it's religious character, but as an occasion when nature and fashion combine to make Springs return pleasing reality. While it is possible that atmospheric condi- tions may interfere at times, still all feel with the dawn of Easter t:lat the long winter months have passed and natures rebirth kindles arden:

High Sheriff James Geddes has taken prompt action to punish three prisoners who attempted to saw their way out of the New Haven county jail early tlast Sunday morn- ing. One of the accused trio is Thomas Guiglilmeo, "A, of this city. He was arrested here last February and ordered held under bonds of $10,0O0 for robbery with violence. Sheriff Geddes has arranged to have the three men brought into superior court on next Tuesday morning.
 As stated in last evenings Demo- crat visitors to the county jail last Saturday smuggled hack saws into the jail. Guiglilmeo and two pals, Norman Valjean and Harry l.. Brown, who have been awaiting trial in the superior court, staged fake fight so as to be confined to the
 cooler which offered a better avenue of escape than the detention ward. After being placed in con- finement the three men went to work with the saws and had man. aged to get out of their cells. They were at work on the window bars when detected by guards. The three

hopes in human hearts
 At 5:30 o'clock tomorrow morn ing sunrise services in Library Park will signalize the commencement of Waterbury's religious observance of Easter. In all the churches there will be special programs of music and special sermons appropriate for the day.
 Commencing around noon it is expected that the streets will be thronged with hundreds in their Easter finery. Notwithstanding gem eral evidence of depression, local merchants found the seasonal trade very pleasing.
 The fascination of viewing the latest in styles is so strong to some that scores of Waterburians have journeyed to New York city to stroll along Fifth avenue for the fashion parade. Waterbury's may be a little less elaborate, but from all ildica- tions it will be attractive.
 There will be no egg hunt at Ham, ilton Park as sponsored in former years by members of the Lions club, but the youngsters of Waterbury with their colored or candy eggs will manage to enjoy the day.
 Easter Sunday marking the ter imitation of the Lenten season is also the signal for the renewal of social activities. During the com ing week Easter assemblies and dances and parties will be numerous

Declare Quarantine
 Against Satin Moth
Waterbury Included Among Areas EffectedPoplar and
 Willow Tree Shipments Banned

New Haven, April 4.-Much of New Haven county and a smaller part of Hartford county are placed under restriction on account of the satin moth in a new quarantine an- nounced to-day by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. The territory already under quarantine includes all that east of the Con- necticut river and the towns of Hartford and Suffield.
 The satin moth was discovered in the towns of Stonington and Thomp- son in 1926. two years later it was found will scattered through eastern Connecticut. and it has continued to spread. The insect feeds or the leaves of poplar and willow trees and in heavy infestation strips the trees completely. Detecting the moth by inspection is so difficult that
