In the neat, fragrant kitchens of
their homes there is stewed chicken
on the stove and "shoofly pies" in
the oven, and that means many a
young swain is going over the
fence"
It's traditional among the pic
turesque plain people" to wait to
marry until the harvest is over.
Through the spring, summer and
autumn. the young men must help
in the fields; robust daughters are
needed in the kitchens. But after
the tobacco sheds are filled and
the oins are bulging with grain
there's time for frivolity-and we'd

Wedding All-Day Affair.
An Amish wedding is an all-day
affair, accompanied by feasting and
festivity.
AS dawn breaks over the country

foot and in horse-drawn buggies-
the men wearing black Tound-

their square-cut hair; the women
garbed in small black bonnets and
somber dresses, fastened with hooks
and eyes instead of buttons.
The bride wears white at her

Originally a midterm convention

In it's session yesterday, the Ma

EASY PAYMENTS HELP TO WIVES
Modernizing Kitchen May Be Done Now As Low As
 Ten Cents a Day

No longer need the modern housewife delay the modernizing of her kitchen because of lack of ready cash. All of the appliances displayed in this section of the Democrat can be purchased by pay ing a small amount down and the balance may be paid in small easy payments. In some cases these pay ments do not exceed ten cents a day. Some are even less than that, others are little higher.
 .rhe automatic refrigerator which makes possible many savings in the food budget, actually pays for it. self in very short period of time. In the first place it saves by en- abling the homemaker to take ad- vantage of quantity buying and special week end sales.
 Then there are the savings which come from being able to preserve left overs" until such time as they can be used, and the saving in being able to keep milk and other perishables safely at temperatures constantly below 50 degrees.
 Automatic refrigeration will be the outstanding aspect of the city wide refrigeration exposition con- ducted here in this section because 1t will enable people of all walks of life to witness with their own eyes a picture of the labor saving and money saving appliances now avail able as equipment for your own home and at little cost.

Circulaire Cooling
 Highlight Of 1888
Hotpoint RefrigeratOrs Include Several Most Modern Features-l5 New Models, Exclusive Accessories

Hotpoint refrigerators for 1888 offer a new feature, Circulaire Cooling, which provides circula- tion of air by means of a fan in- stalled between the power Qpit and the condenser.
 The fan removes heat from the mechanism by pulling air through the condenser, and thus decrease running time of the re- frigerator by approximately 10 percent, according to the manu- lecturers.
 Convenience features have been designed to save steps and con- serve time for the housewife, say the sponsors. There is a new "Pop-Ice Tray" which eliminates the necessity of holding the tray under water to loosen the cubes. Interesting, too, are the adjustable gliding shelves, which are rust proof and noiseless. These pro- vide flexibility of arrangement.
 Shelves in 2 Parts
 On some of the models the bottom shelf is split into two halves, and either half may be removed to allow space for espe- cially bulky foods.
 There is also 8 special tip-up

UNITED TYRE co.
 SAVES YOU MONEY
New Recapping Process Removes Dangers of
 Damaging Fabric

Gabe's United Tyre Sales Co.,, of 219 East Main Street has a new process in tire reconstruction that is saving truck fleet owners and private car owners in this city a considerable amount of money.
 This new process, known as re- capping', differs from the old method of tire retreading because only the top-side of the tire is given a new surface of live rubber. The sideWall surfaces are not touched. This produces longer-lived retread without weakening the tire struc- ture resulting from the ordinary method.
 Re-capping does not require cooking" except on the top-side of the tire. This naturally removes the danger of damaging the tire fabric by the application of heat all around.
 Gabe Berardino, owner and man. ager of the United Tyre Sales Co.,, says, "One truck fleet owner in Wa terbury has told us that we have saved him $1,200 by doing a re- capping job for him. Experience has taught us that re-capping gives an old tire as much as 30 percent of the mileage of new tire"
 Probably the largest single pur- chaser of retreading in the entire country. is the Railway Express Agency. This concern, which op- crates 8,454 trucks and 221 passen- ger cars, has been using retreats for over 10 years in every section of the country. The experience of this concern furnishes one of the best possible testimonials to retreading.
 In the early days when retread- ing was an experiment by the company, exact mileage records were kept and careful ivestiga- ton was made of the performance of retreads. This was necessary because the tires of this com pany are purchased outright and not obtained from the major com- panies on a mileage basis.
 These records proved conclusive ly that retreading was economical ly sound and was saving the com- pany much money even in the early days when the mileage was often less than half of that now received.

Bernard E. Donnell, manager of the Waterbury branch of the South ern New England Ice Co.,, Inc, feels confident that the innovations of the new Coolator refrigerator will be of great interest to the house. wives of Waterbury.
 Food OdOrS BaniShed
 All food odorS are WhiSked away by the non-mechanical air cond1- tioning which washes and purifies the air in the compartments. This process of washing and purifying the air as it passes through the air conditioning chamber takes place several times each minute, thus retaining the natural flavor of all the food.
 MT. Donnell takes great pride in the new ice cube making device which produces crystal clear cubes in the amazing time of five min- utes. Low temperature milk com partment, lift up shelves, pull out drawers, rounded corners, new beauty of design, snow white du- lux finish are only a few of the numerous advantages of the new Coolerator. The complete food pro- lection afforded by the Coolerator is considered a great step forward in refrigeration.
 Many Other Products
 The Southern New England Ice Co.,, Inc, which formerly handled only ice, now sells fuel and range oils and Silent Glow oil burners. A new and improved Silent Glow, the air seel burner, will be on display at the exposition. The air seel is so called because the air passage is sealed so as to prevent cold air from rushing into the boil CT when the burner is not running. Economy of operation is offered in the fact that the burner is so constructed that the oil flame must travel 108 per cent farther be- fore it leaves the boiler, thus giv- ing greater opportunity for all the heat to be extracted from the oil as the gases pass through the heating plant.

than you ever thought possible.
 The first time you hear and see the new refrigerator you will see the logic in changing your present refrigerator which perhaps is old or noisy and which of course uses con- siderably more current than do these new models.
 This city-wide exposition in a sense marks a new era in house keeping for it comes at time when home building and home remodeling are the plans uppermost in the minds of the average person. This timely exposition fits perfectly into this picture because there is no more important home problem than the problem which involves the house wife and her work.
 Modern home appliances are sell liquidating investments. The money actually saved in the operating costs of these new models more than pay for themselves within a very short time.
