Old Bridges Remain.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. December
@.-Seven ragged survivors of
the covered bridge era still stand in
Connecticut to recall the naughty
boys cry of Hey, mister, kiss your
girl"
Romantic swains made it point to
route their holiday drives with their
best girls over roads they knew to in
clude the most covered bridges in their
district.
T1ttering youngsters playing at the
entrances were equally emphatic in
reminding the driver and his compan-
ion of the romantic custom.
But the tinge of romance is only a
small part Of the lore surrounding
these weather-beaten antiques. They
connect modern Connecticut tangibly
with the horse and buggy days of the
Revolution and the Civil War.
Three of these old bridges cross the
Housatonic River in Litchfield County.
Tradition has it that Gen. Washington
and his troops in their four trips across
the county in 1880 used the oldest ot
them once.
Fallen into disuse, but still service
able, this crumbling bit of Revolu-
tionary vintage, believed to be the old

States, has been replaced for regular
