This reputation mas been garnered through years of travel through the various cities and is faithfully upheld by the new mem bers coming up each year.

 The official judges then made . very thorough inspection of the win dows of some forty stores. Not | only were the articles exhibited crit. ically examined, but much attention was paid to the artistry of the back. ground arranged by the decorators Illumination was also a point of i'm portance that judges weighed care. fully.
 Awards were made for eleven diff ferent classifications. The decisions of the judges on each were as fol lows:
 Class 1-Boys' and Girls clothing Engelman's Baby Shop. Class 2--Chain Department stores w. T. Grant Co.
 Glass 3--Florists, Ryan & Powers Class 4-Furniture. Metropolitan Furniture Co.
 Class 5--Gift and Stationery shops Jane Kelly, Inc.
 Class 6--Jewelry, W. E. Pierpont Class 7-Ladies' Wear-Sugenhei- mer's Inc.
 Class s-Men's Clothing and Fur nishings, Upson, Singleton & Co. Glass 9-Millinery, Sugenheimer's, Inc.
 Class 10--Music. McCoy's, Inc. Class 11-Shoes. Wise Shoes, Inc Class 12-- Yard Goods, Bedford Silk House.
 Class 13- Miscellaneous, Strauss Hard ware Co.
 It is possible that many will differ with the judges in some instances but their inspections were .based on very technical lines. Tn several cases they were evidently puzzled on reach ing decision for they admitted that in several of the classifications the compentition was very keen The displays reflected considerable thought and plenty of originality The judges extended their congratu- lations to all competing stores and intimated that the public was being treated to a worthwhile treat. X
 While the display officially closes the merchants will allow their win dows to remain untouched for the remainder of. the week. The public is urged to take advantage of the opportunity and make a trip abou. the city on tour of personal inspec- tion. It would be interesting to note how close their decisions approached that of the official judges.
 The slogan contest closes at O. clock tomorrow morning. All entry blanks must be in the office of the Chamber of Commerce at that hour. Prizes of $30 in gold will be awards ed to three persons writing the off, cial slogan the greatest number of times op one side of a slip of paper measuring four inches square. The contest is open to all. Members of the committee will act judges in determining the winners. The slogan as displayed in all stores is When Buying, Try Waterbury First" The contest will be a test of penmanship in the miniature.

For some unexplained reason there has not been much notice taken of the return of the robin and the coming of the bluebird this sea- son. but 1t is said that both are here for the past couple of weeks and over and have commenced looking around to see how much of their old homes are left after the winter.
 Two, judges of members of the feathered family had dispute to- day, one claiming that the bluebird returns from the south first, while the other contended.that this distinc- tion belongs to the robin. However that may be it is certain that the robin and the bluebird are back at their old haunts and everybody is glad to see them. To be sure they have not yet started to sing, but after a few days more like the one we are enjoying to-day there will be no scarcity of melody among mem- bers of the woodland choir, and folks vii! not have to be content with
