It begins to look as if the day of the trolley track was on the wane. We have just read where Meriden will immediately replace all trolleys with bus lines Tracks are to be removed as soon as possible. he same procedure is being followed in many other cities of the state. Of course New Haven, Hartford. and Bridgeport with their maze of streets will probably continue the electric car service longer than Waterbury. New Britain, and others. Right here Tn Waterbury the inevitable can be seen. Of recent years we have lost the 1homaston and Woodbury lines. The Baldwin street trolley service was discontinued this year. busses are substituted. Probably some day we won have an electric trolley car operating within the city limits. Certainly Waterbury s streets (some of them) were never built for this service. That's one thing we can lay against the builders of our city. Lack of traffic foresight

TODAY IS THEA ANNIVERSARY s sngkZA
ARRIVAL OF SUPPLIES

ARRIVAL OE SUffLIES
 On July 2, 1917, the last units of the first American expedition, com prising vessels loaded with supplies and horses, reached France. Their coming, one week after the first troops landed, was greeted almost as warmly as the arrival of troops themselves, because 1t meant success of the %idertaking.
 Rear Admiral Gleaves, from the bridge of his flagship, watched the successful conclusion of his plans and with characteristic modesty in- sisted upon giving most credit for the crossing to navigation officers of his command.
 All units of the contingent had to keep a daily rendezvous with accom- panying warships. Thanks to his navigation officers and despite over cast skies. which made astronomical observations impossible. each rem dezvous. the admiral said, had been minutcly and accurately kept by each unit.
 This exactness on the part of the navigation officers was responsible In no small degree for the brilliant success of the entire undertaking

The January white sale was one sale
which always used some of Nancy's
Christmas checks. She realized that the
shops kept some Of their newest pat
terms for that time of year. And then,
too, she knew that special bargains in
linens were offered at that time.
Where, for instance, could she have
found anything newer than the towels
in backgammon pattern? Or towels
with modern designs in points, triangles
and diamonds? She saw towels with a
woven design resembling Dutch tile in
blue. She saw towels decorated with
red and black dots and stripes. These
made her think of masculine bath
rooms and Basque linens.
The monogram bath sets seemed to
be the newest things In ensembles.
These could be ordered at the white
sale. After @ waiting period of about
six weeks the monograms were finished
ON the towel and bath sets.
When 1t came to sheets she found
that there were three tendencies. The
first was for the pure white bedding

The Later Years,

Good looks are an asset to the woman
at any age and in any circumstances,
but especially to. the business woman
of mature years. Women who see
themselves growing old feel at disad-
vantage in contrast to the smart-lookng
young women with whom they work In
Offices or shops.
Some of these older women write to
me for suggestions on how to keep
youthful, and the problem is often a
very serious one, involving their bust
ness success. One woman of 10 years
of age recently wrote for advice on
eradicating wrinkles. as she found that
they interfered with her obtaining en-
ployment. Women 20 or 80 years
younger than she find the same diff
Guilty.
Deep facial wrinkles make woman
look old, but there are other just as
important signs of aging. Gray hair,
especially If it Is Scenty, adds years to
a woman's appearance. Her figure, too,
betrays her age. II il is thin and bent
or If it is too stout, she looks older
than her years. A trim, active figure
and a good posture are perhaps the
greatest personal assets middle aged
woman can have when she is applying
for a position. For a figure Of this
type oUSSColo VIGIL CAAlIAChOys ASC
itself is not a real objection in many
cases, but it is the physical and mental
deterioration that usually attends 1t
that makes employers favor younger
women.
So my first suggestion to the mature
woman who wants to look young is that
she begin with her figure and habits Of
carriage. Correct footwear is essential.
Arch-support shoes are often advisable
for older women. and they may be OBJ
tanned in modish styles. Simple exer-
cises taken every morning and evening
will help keep the-muscles firm. Walk
ing outdoors in the fresh air is an
important health and beauty aid that
most middle-aged women neglect.
The right clothes, not anonymously
youthful, but modish and well tailored,
make an immense difference in a wom-
ans appearance. Black navy, brown,
neutral colors and heather mixtures
are appropriate. Rust and old rose are
good as trimming on dark frocks. Wine
is becoming to elderly women with
white or gray hair. Blue grays are
charming with pink and white skin.
blue eyes and white hair. Creamy lace
about the neck is flattering.

ishes. Some show good humor some

taste of raw cornstarch has been re-
moved.
Honey caramels: Mix two cupfuls
of granulated sugar with half a cup
full of cream or milk, one-fourth cup
full of honey and one-fourth cupful Of
butter. Heat and stir until the sugar
is dissolved. then cook without stirring
until firm ball can be formed from
little of the mixture when dropped
in cold water. Beat the mixture until
1t crystalizes, pour into buttered pans,
then cut into squares. The addition
of pecan nuts improves this confec-
ton.
To Extract Honey.
Extracted honey is usually pure and
of good quality. but comb honey is
more attractive to the eye, and some
times is slightly superior in taste to
the same kind extracted. To extract
honey at home, cut comb honey into
a granite pail and hang the pail over
two sticks crossed at the top of an
iron kettle filled with water up to
within three inches of the rim of the
pail. Let the water boil until the
comb is all melted, then remove the
pail to a cool place and the wax will
form into hard cake at the top. The
honey below will be rich and clear
and free from wax. When you ex-
tract 1t for yourself you are sure that
you are getting pure honey that can
be used for various cooking purposes
and as strip for waffles and pam
cakes and other food.

MOTHERS
When Using Insertion.
AND THEIR CHILDREN.

I think there is no trimming for tiny
baby's clothing more dainty than q
fine insertion. but it is so hard to set
it. Rolling the hens ON either side
was always quite a task for me. One
day I conceived the idea of having q
row of hemstitching run around the
place where wanted to use the in
sertion. I cut through this hemstitch-
ing and sewed the insertion on either
side with fine stitches. The result was
q much neater Job than had been
able to do before and the saving In
time and patience was well worth the
few cents 1t cost TO have the hemstitch-
ing done.

A CCORDING to Mr.. ziegfeld, that was the
\ reason he favored the curving lines In his

that the divergence IN popular taste was often

In discussing the manner In which the femi-

The costumers came TO me when the Summer
was over and said it was extraordinary how
the girls figures had changed from the first
to the second fitting of their costumes, and the
designers didn't know how to account for the
variations.
