Fall Coats Go
To Slim Lines

Rejecting the moods of Ameri-

keyed To the modern tempo with
the slim silhouette staging a re-

came TO American designers in
1908.
Temptingly different, dress

beautiful fur treatments and new

Have you ver stopped to think
how easy and inexpensive it really

Before you begin vacation trips

have the car washed and waxed?
Like a new suit makes you feel like

the dampness and salty atmosphere

Have you ever noticed how cars
look that remain on or near the

It's so easy and economical to

Popular Motion Picture Star tosAid Doll House Fund for Former Waterburian Now in Kansas
 City - But Read the Details!

Rosalind Russell of cinema fame has talked herself into a double role" as result of supposed "gag" and now finds herself con- fronted with the task of rounding up several of Hollywood's best known celebrities for a flying trip to Kansas City, Mo. She and her companion movie" stars are to be the guests of a big benefit show planned by another former Water burian, Rt. Rev. Monsignor Mat thew D. Tierney. The next time Miss Russell makes promise via telephone she is going to double check the identity of the caller.
 As result of the "gag" Miss Russell will visit Kansas City to help Monsignor Tierney to raise funds for the erection of 8 doll house kindergarten adjoining his present parish school. The idea of erecting doll house with furnish ingS fashioned in miniature will cost in the neighborhood of $ 5000. It will be 8 separate building for the parish of the Annunciation.
 Monsignor Tierney entertained the idea that the presence of a Hollywood star would make the occasion an outstanding one and would underwrite the success of the venture, so he called Miss Rus sell by telephone and very gently broke the news that as a former home town residents of hers, she should help him.
 As the story is told Miss Russell suspected that it was someone try ing to play a joke on her and she willingly cooperated: Sure I'll come,' she said land furthermore I will bring Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Bob Taylor and lot of other stars"
 Miss Russell hung up the tele- phone with the impression that had frustrated that little 'gag" on the part of some of her friends. The next morning she received @ telegram from Monsignor Tierney thanking her most sincerely for her most generous offer.
 We'll, the star from Waterbury is going to make good, she says. She has called up several of her cinema friends and has appealed to them to help her out of her predicament.
 "Of course, am glad to go to Kansas City" she said, "but from the way I talked, Monsignor Tier
 ney must think I'm crazy"
 It is to be supposed however that Monsignor Tierney will forgive Miss Russell-if she shows up with her Hollywood pals and the Doll House fund is success.
 Anyway, the meeting of the Monsignor and Miss Russell will be a reunion of former residents of Waterbury.
