Merchants cooperating for the
event this week also have memo-
ries of the event last October and
have realized what they always be-
ieved-that Waterbury shoppers
will buy when the merchants pre-
sent worthwhile articles and goods
for sale. With that idea in mind,
the business firms of the city are
leaving no stone tunturned to ac-
commodate the buyers on Water
bury Day.. Where last falls event
was considered, by good many as
doubtful venture, the wonderful
cooperation of the shoppers made
il q resounding successful propo-
sition.
The merchants intend to make
this Thursdays event even bigger
in proportion than last October's.
Bargains that surpass those offered
before-in quality and sales price
reduction--are being lined up for
presentation on Thursday. Business
firms have had their best buyers in
search of worthwhile merchandise
for the benefit Of the Waterbury
shoppers. The results Of these buys
will be found on the counters of
the cooperating stores on Thurs
day.
The shoppers will not be disap-
pointed when they come to town
in search OF bargains on Thursday.

Types of Cosmetics
For Present Season

livery cosmetic that q woman uses
should have some bleaching prop
erty. This is the most recent news In
the beauty field. Even cleansing cerams
must bleach.
Since all bleaches have a tendency
to create a dry condition, nourishing
cream with these new properties must
be used at least once day, for what
will it profit any woman to be as pale
as a lily if her skin is wrinkled? The
idea is to whiten and at the same time
leave the skin soft and lovely.
In taking the bleaching treatments,
which are mild, gradual and harmless
in their effects, it is recommended that
the face be washed occasionally with
granular soap.
"A special treatment should be taken
every morning" one specialist tells me.
1T should be done just as regularly as
you dress. In fact" she continued, "it
is really no use to dress at all unless
YOU take special treatment, for only
the very young can afford to neglect
the Autumn care of the skin after
Summer spent in the open air and
strong sunshine"

"HIS is a season of variety-va-
ricty in cclors, in color COM
binations. in fabrics and in
furs. The mating of brown and
gray is one of the most out
standing of these new color comblna-
tions-a very effective one IN a season
when gray has assumed remarkable
fashion importance for dresses and
coats and when brown has become an
outstanding shade for accessories.
Brown cloth coats are trimmed with
gray fur and gray ones with brown,
while gray dresses, verging on taupe
tones, as well IS those in the clear
nght grays, are being worn with brown
felt hats and brown suede shoes and
gloves. Brown suede purses, with mar
castle clasps, are effective accompan1-
ments for these costumes
Brown is a factor in all dress at the
moment. with red and brown diagonal
tweedS in high favor. But fer the en-
tire dress. to be worn under coat,
brown is giving way to brighter colors.
Bright greens. bright blues and clear
reds are appearing under brown or gray
coats. This clear bright red is compet-
ing for favor with the popular wine
shades.
IF you like to have color contrast IN
your dress there are dresses with
black or brown skirts and tops Of bright
red, blue or green. trimmed with the
black or brown. These are very effec-
tive when worn under topcoats that
match the skirts in tone.
Many Of the new grays are of the
dark, gurmetal tones. Others are IN
clear pearly. shades without touch OF
brown. These are especially good in
the new smooth Woolens.
Another shade advancing in style i'm
portance is the blue verging on Law
ender that Maggy Rouff stressed earlier
in the season.
Polo coats this season are of many
types. One is golden beige in tone.

FRANCE PUTS WAR
ON MODERN BASIS
Motorization, FieId-Aviation
Cooperation and Camou-
fIage Maneuver Phases.
BY the Associated Press.


CHALONS SUR MARINE, France,
October 15.-Motorization, cooperation
between field forces and aviation and
camouf1age were three striking elements
in the 1882 French Army maneuvers
which took place this Autumn in this
old battle field region.
Only 10000 men took part in the
maneuvers, which lasted two weeks and
were quite different from the grand
scale pre-war maneuvers. The exercises
were restricted to permit close study Of
changes in modern warfare equipment.
This years maneuvers were marked
by extensive motorization of all branches
of the services from Tank Corps to
rolling kitchens. Among the newest
tanks were some described as moving
fortresses," capable of heavy fire. Others
reached the front" by ordinary roads,
running on wheels and were quickly
converted into types with caterpillar
treads.
There also were many small armored
cars equipped with machine guns and in
some cases with 37-millimeter guns.
These smaller, mobile units took up the
function Of calvalry, in mopping up and
pursuit.
AS in all armies, the question of

summed up his impressions by declar-
ing that motorization functioned in pro-
portion to its distance from the actual
firing line, the closer one got to the line
the more difficulties it had to face.
Camouf1age was highly developed
during the maneuvers and so well were
the troops hidden that frequently OBJ
servers had difficulty in finding them.

was particularly pleased with the
camouf1aging ability of the troops which

Color Gains Favor, While
Contrasts Are Stressed

THE initiated bag has long been
L favorite with smart women, since
the monogram on anything imparts an
air of distinctive individuality. And
this year monogrammed purses have
reached new style heights. The heavier
clasps of dull gold or silver that adorn
so many bags make an ideal background
for engraved initials in various styles.
Some of the newest purses have very
heavy initials in block form, making
the clasp and stretching across the
whole top of the purse in an interest
ing silhouette effect.
The fabric bag finds perfect inter-
probation in Vionnet's "Manteau" bag,
a semi-tailored pouch made Of broad
cloth or duvetyn, very soft looking
with the fabric covering the clasps, at
the ends of which two gold or silver
balls provide pleasing ornamentation
