DEAR MISS DIX am engaged to
young professional man who is very
neglectful OF his appearance. He
comes unshaved to see me, in need Of
a shoeshine, clean collar, fresh linen
and to have his clothes brushed. He
does this even when we are going out
with friends who are always we'll
groomed. He seems to think that the
way he looks doesn't matter. But 1t
matters greatly to me. What would
you do If you were In my place?
ANASTAS1A.
Answer: I wouldn't marry him. I
would break of the engagement for
two good and sufficient reasons. First,
because would know I would soon
cease to love slovenly man If had
to look at him every day of my life.
And secondly, because would know
that he was predestined and fore
ordained to make failure in. his pro-
fession. I should want q husband
who was on the up-and-up, not one
who was on the -and-out.
If your fiance thinks that it does
not matter how he looks he is making
the biggest mistake of his life. We
are all judged by our appearance, and
that is fair enough, because it is all
that the general public has to go by
in forming its opinion of us.
Strangers are not mind readers and
they cannot know heart of gold
beats under coat that is covered with
soup stains, or that under q thatch Of
hair so long it looks as If you might
scare up rabbit in it there functions
a clever brain. Nor can they know
that it is lack Of vanity and not lack
of energy that explains three days
stubble of beard and trousers that ap-
pear to have been slept in.
Nor is the casual stranger likely to
find out that the man who looks like
a tramp is possessed of nine of the
cardinal virtues and is an intelligent
and competent business or professional

The fish markets were busily dis

halibut steaks to waiting customers.
Nice bass and rockflsh are inexpen-

are exceptionally fine.

preserving season close upon them
there are plenty of ounces to be found,

sees the punches Of long red pepper

It was hard to keep ones mind on

into the matter as seriously as usual.
Sometimes it is fun to wander around
markets without having to think of
rushing off and writing a column
about it. But I did notice that
artichokes are with us once more,
and very nice and tender they looked,
too I found a surprising scarcity of
small, young cucumbers-most of the
ones seen were old grandpappies that
were nearly as thick as my arm. Nice
little pots of chives were everywhere
so good for chopping fine and adding
to cream cheese or butter balls for
special favoring: and long heads of
celery cabbage inspired visions of deli
cate and unusual cold slaw. Butter
beans and nnas were smaller than
usual-which is always welcome news
to me-and even the carrots seemed
to be coming in in a more inviting
size than the recent shipments Of
enormous ones.

I have four fine old Windsor chairs
The backs Of these are beginning to
wobble, and as I hope to use them
for many years to come would like
to know what is the best thing to do
with them. MRS. L. R. G.
ANSWER:
You should take your chairs to q
good chairmaker or cabinetmaker, or
ask one to come to your house for
advice. I can give you remedy that
you could do at home. but 1t will be
merely temporary one. Your chairs
will really need to have the backs
slipped out Of the sockets; some of
the posts will need small pegs to make
them fit tightly; Others will need just
little glue; but If you expect to use
your chairs for many years you will
need expert advice and attention on
them.

has been so unattractive that the OBJ
server doesn't bother to excavate un-
der the surface for the real man. No
employer would ever give Job to that
sort of a looking man. No one would
trust a law case to him. No one would
think Of sending for him If they were
sick and needed doctor, because they
would argue that man who was that
sloppy in his personal appearance
would be equally sloppy in his work;
that If he wasn't willing to take the
trouble even to change his collar or
press his pants and shine his shoes he
certainly wouldn't go to the trouble
Of digging up all the fine points in q
law case or reading up all the authori-
ties in medicine about ones symptoms.
A poet has said that "the coat
doesn't make the man." But he was
all wet. A mans coat is his show win
dow that advertises the line Of goods
he carries. 1t may be cheap. 1t may
be shabby. 1t may be threadbare. But
if it is clean and well pressed 1t shows
that he has done the best he could,
that he has self-respect and energy
and is worth giving a trial.

SUIT FILED BY
 TRUCK OWNER
Forced 10 Pay For Dam- ages Despite Insurance
 Against Loss

Although insured for any losses he might suffer because of damages caused his trucks, John Manthey of this city was recently forced to pay a judgment of $766.74 which was ob- tained against him in the court of common pleas by Lou Granat and Henry Granat.
 Today he filed suit for 5000 in the court of common pleas against his insurance agencies, the American Automobile Insurance company and the American Automobile Fire In- surance company, who refused to pay the judgment. The companies refused to pay the judgment, al- though according to his policy they agreed to indemnify him against loss in the event of legal liability for the operation of his truck, he claims.
 The defendants refused to pay the judgment, although they hired at- torneys to defend Manthey in the civil action. Manthey paid the judg- ment himself, on advice of counsel, May 2, 1888.
 Since that time, however, Man they, resident of Cheshire has been named in another civil action, filed in the court of common pleas by Shirley Burns of Brooklyn, New York, seeking ~l,000 damages. She was passenger in the Granat car which was struck by the Manthey truck, the latter operated by Doug

HOUSING PLANS
 UNDER DISCUSSION
Federal Officials Meet With Local Unit Proposed
 Site Being Cleared
(Acne)

Discussion of Waterbury's hous- ing plans entered progressive stage yesterday, according to Will liam M. Harris, chairman of the authority, when two government officials met with local members of the commission to inspect the prop erty donated by the Chase family at North Main street and Chase avenue.
 Work of clearing the 54 acres of rocks and dead trees was started Monday by the IVA and engineers and surveyors are expected to start layout work shortly.
 The housing authority has asked tax exemption for local levies as it claims the general assembly pro- vided at the last session..
 "The project calls for the con- sideration of 25 units to house 100 families, at cost of $400,000. The United States housing authority is asked to advance $400,000 toward the construction, and the local au- thority is offering the value of it's property, appraised by Charles Ro- sengarten and Co.,, at $52,500, as the city's 10 per cent of the construc- ton cost. The local authority is also asking for an annual subsidy from the United States housing au- thority of $14,000 In order to re- ceive this subsidy, the city of Wa terbury must advance annually 20 per cent of this figure, or $2,800," MT. Harris wrote in a letter to the mayor and the board of aldermen, recently.

to test their speed on the new sur l face.
 Several slight accidents have oc- cured on the new road, but the most serious took place early this week, causing six persons to under go hospital treatment.
 Within a month, the road should be completely finished, and at that time it will be an important con- nection between the center of Wa terbury and the main road to Naug- atuck and the lower valley regions. Even in it's uncompleted form, the highway, which now is under state jurisdiction insofar as maintenance is concerned, is being traversed by huge trucks and trailers. The fact that South Main street is all torn up is contributing factor to this condition.
 Police are checking speeders on Baldwin street principally during the evening hours. With construc- tion crews working all along the line during the day, motorists are nat urally required to travel for the most part at reduced rate of speed. At night, however, the road is gen. orally clear and wide open.
