Building permits Issued by cities and towns in Connecticut during the month of January, 1883, drop. ped in total valuation to the low est point in years, even below the exceptionally low total of February 1892, 1t is shown in the monthly building survey taken by the freight traffic department of the New Haven railroad among twen- ty.five communities along its rights of way.
 Despite tho fact that the yaiua- ton of the permits issued by these communities during January was approximately q quarter of q nnil- lion dollars less than in December. ten of the cities and town listed in the survey were able to record gains of q minor nature over their totals for December. These were Bridgeport, Danbury, Derby, East Hartford, Meriden, New London, Norwalk Norwich Waterbury and West Haven.
 Greenwich headed the list for the month with permits valued at $1G0.200. while West Haven and New Haven were in second and third places. respectively.

FASHIONS By wilma LoVNe

Do you remember the good
old days when you could have
one silk skirt, and several
blouses that changed it COM
pletely, made it into either q
street skirt, or a formal
costume? 1t was marvelously
economical, and now that day
is returning. One Of the best
spring fashions is the formal
blouse, worn with a silk skirt
to make a supper dress, dinner
gown, or Sunday night cos
tune, whichever you prefer to
call it. This years styles are
particularly suited to such
blouses, with puffed sleeves
rampant, with soft silks used
at any time, and pastels good
when they are combined with
dark colors.
Convertible Skirt
The proper skirt for these
blouses may be either velvet, or
rough silk crepe. Velvet is a
good idea if you already have
a skirt, but it it is considered
a winter fabric, so you'd better
buy a crepe to wear from now
on. A rough crepe skirt with q
daytime blouse may be worn on
the street or to work, but with
one of the clever Sunday night
blouSeS, it Immediately becomes
formal. The skirt we've
Sketched is only $1.95, and
comes in black, brown, gray or
navy.
OF Fine Soft Silks
The blouse with puffed sleeves
and bias cross pieces on the
bodice, is of soft pure dye
satin, a Lanvin copy. 1t has
moderately low cut neck in
both front and back, a v line
following the crossed pieces.
It comes in pastels, and is
$1.95. The other blouse is of
pure dye silk crepe. usually
soft, and is in lovely colors,
seafoam green, deep coral, a
dusty pink, or white. It has
sectional puffed sleeves, a high
cowl neckline in front, and
the back that closes in surplice
line has two big crystal buttons
at the neck, and a sash with
covered buckle at the waist. It
is priced 1895.

trebleton. Such leads merely
show inability to lead from a Sc
quence of possible trick takers.
Both against trump and no
trump makes, inability to lead
one of several honors is dI~
closed by an opening lead of a
fourth-best card. It seldom can
do harm to lead even from a
long suit. Sometimes such a
lead conveys valuable informa-
ton to partner. Sometimes it
helps partner win one or more
tricks that he can not win in
case he has to open that suit.
At trump makes either de-
clarer or dummy must be ex-
pected to trump the third lead
of a suit. Ordinarily the de-
tenders cannot hope to win de.
fensive tricks in suits incapable
of taking either the first or Sec
ond round tricks, which are
termed quick tricks" as they
must be won so quickly that
neither member Of the declar-
ing side can trump.
Unless both Ace and K of q
suit are held it seldom is right
to make an opening lead of the
Ace, or to lead low from such
suit against trump make.
Do not blindly open tenace
suits (A-Q, XII, Al, K-10).
Wait for another player to lead
towards your tenaces and single
honorS.
In case you blindly lay down
an Ace you will pick up only
low cards. If you reserve your
Ace you may kill a high adverse
honor, possibly enabling your
partner to win a later trick in
that suit with some low honor.
Ability to choose the proper
opening lead is one of the sur
est signs of a trained player.

Opening Leads

The strangest weapon Of the
defenders is their right to make
the opening bid. What "Senior"
leads often determines the fate
of the contract.
If Junior" has not bid, the
player at declarer'S left makes
a blind lead. If Junior" has
bid his partner makes a directed
lead. Even if partner has bid,
an opening lead against a
trump make should be made
from winning cards in sequence,
when possible. To convey the
greatest possible information to
partner opening leads must be
made conventionally. If only
the AK of a suit are held you
state that you hold no third
card of the suit, by leading the
Ace and then the K. If more
than two cards of a suit are
held, lead the K first. If the Q
also is held, lead the next. The
K followed by the Ace an
