Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile

Have you heard rumors of
the return of Vatican hats?
Yes, they are really coming
back and are already shown by
several Washington stores. Fur
thermore, many gay young
people of New York are seen
wearing them for tea and
dancing.
Named For French Artist
These hats are named for
the artist Watteau who was
prominent in France in the
late seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. He painted with
beautiful precision and he did
costume, manners and people
of the fashionable world with
particular success. This was
probably due to the fact that
he worked with a scene painter
for a while and afterwards
with a designer of ballet cos
tunes.
WaJtedu naCS. as you KNOW,
are perched far to one side of
the head and often have
bandeau effect decorated with
flowers. Of course the new
versions are not as extreme.
Sometimes the bandeau is
merely a bend of the brim and
the flowers may be left off.
At best the hat is rather un-
usual and should be worn only
by the type that it is becom-
ing to. 1t should also be worn
with clothes of an imaginative
type. AS some one said, You
almost need to carry a crook"
Made of Soft Straw
Watteau hats are usually
made of soft straw. The two
we have sketched are of very
fine straw, one black and one
brown. They are from a
Washington store.

DECEMBER LIGHT
 BILL COSTLIEST
Artificial hlunlin a ii o n Used 4 Hours Longer
 Than in Summer
HIGHER THAN JANUARY

Connecticut's power and light utilities have their hardest month of the year from the production standpoint in December. With a rare exception here and there, the demand for light and power and consequently the production of electricity is at its height in the twelfth month. In some years, January brings a larger total out put of power, but December is us- ually higher. Consequently cus- toners of the electrical utilities are very likely to receive their highest electric light bill in December.
 AS the latter days of the year arrive, the solar system shuts off daylight earlier than in any month and this artificially requires a lon- ger use of artificial light. In De- cember, electric lights are turned on as early as four o'clock in the afternoon, whereas in the summer months when the daylight saving plan is in vogue the light button is not snapped on until after eight o'clock in the evening. In other words, the lights are used about four hours longer each day in De- cember than in June.
 Moreover. people are more prone to remain at home on winter even- ings than in the summer time when the out-of-doors entices them to motoring and other diversions. This serves to increase the lighting bill, especially when the radio is in operation during the stay-at-home evenings.
 Although not affecting the house. hold lighting bill, the electrical

Revisions of the bankruptcy law, expected to be enacted at the December session of Congress, have been called to the attention of To- cal business men and bankers by the Chamber of Commerce. An article of particular. interest ap- peared in the current issue of the Credit World, a publication of the National Retail Credit Association, of which the Waterbury Credit Rating Bureau, Inc, is member and the date has been passed on to local business and banking heads. The article is as follows:
 "One of the most important things up for consideration with the meeting of the seventy-second congress in December will be the report of the attorney-general on the Department of Justice Survey of the bankruptcy law and its ad- ministration. The National Retail Credit Association was one of live organizations selected to assist the department of justice to gather in- formation upon which 1t could base its recommendations for amend ments. Ever since July, 1880, when the president ordered the investi- gation, there has been conducted most intensive study on bankrupt cy, resulting in conclusions and re- commentators which will be pre- sented to this congress.
 Advance information indicates that in the five years of our great est prosperity, ending June, 1880, nearly $5,OOO, 100000 worth of debts were wiped out by bank ruptcy. Surely this enormous loss Is a drain upon our entire financial system.
 "We, as retailers, have noted with alarm the increasing number of personal bankruptcies, men and women wage earners who have found 1t possible through bank ruptcy to wipe out their obliga- tions to the retailer for necessaries of life, and the doctor and hospi- tai for medical attention. A survey by the National Retail Credit As sociation showed 75 per cent of all bankruptcies were personal.
 ''It would appear that an intel ligent and conscientious congress, its mind on the welfare of the na- ton and forgetting political pro- paganda, will not find 1t difficult to write into our bankruptcy laws amendments which will stop the continued increase of personal bankruptcies by exempting the necessaries of life from bank ruptcy proceedings; by requiring every citizen to tote fair" on his personal obligations and, If he be involved to the embarrassing point, provide a means to iquidate his
