Dr. Macfarl’and was then introduced by Mr. Egbert and spoke of his ex- perience as a Massachusetts pastor. a Y. M. C. A.’secretary and a Yale student in New Haven. insisting that the provisions of the Massachusetts law regarding publicity In drinking places had been eminently salutary. He was followed by Mr. Carpenter. who said his word as to the general endorsement of the bill by South Nor- waik business men as evidenced by a recent incident at one of the clubs of the town. ‘Mr.~’l‘orrey added the testimony of one of the heads of the schools of the town. who In a personal letter had told him of the value of such provis- ions as those contained in the bill. The oprmsition seemed to be In a qumidary. ‘Their chief spokesman, Mr. Moduli, the brewer-who has been the chief‘ lobbyist for the liquor interests at Hart ,rd. at first stated that he would make no opposition to the bill except that it was unnecessary. When he was answered on that point. he shifted his ground and presented his objections and suggested modifications which were at once rejected by the ministers. In an undertone to Dr. Mac- farland he stated. in anger. as the tide began to make against him. that the liquor interests would get the bi! through that they wanted. and no other. Dr. Macfarlaud at once asked the at- tention of the committee. told of the threat of the brewing interests. and requested that the committee submit to the ministers any modification that might be suggested in the bill. before reporting it to the House. lie was assured that the ministers would be Informed of any changes whatever in their bill and would be given u hear ing upon them. Mr. Kendall then petulautly stated ‘that‘there was no. public sentiment be hind the bill. The chairman of the committee called his attention to the big bundle of letters endorsing It and the fact that’nulny of them were from large empti’teycrs of labor. written In t'ldual letters on the mat ter. Nothing seemed to influence the committee so deeply or to defeat the arguments. of the liquor interests so completely be the hemarkable endorsev menisdronv the, peace oiiicinls from all'parts'cf the state and the aston- ishing multitude of letters from Nor walk urging favorable action.

The skirt is circular, long and full witha bottom three inches wide of gray silk radium, then a gray lace Insertion three inches wide. than another fold of the radium. and at the knees all around beautiful gray lace motifs dyed the same shade as the net.
