There seems to have many complaints

a man should be constantly on the job
going over the roads at frequent Inter-

Now Is there a person familiar with
the conditions in the three cities who
believes the figures in Hartford and
New Haven show anything like the
real value? Those who have been
through Hartford would estimate the
average value of a dwelling in that
city at. fully fifty per cent. more than
one In Bridgeport. This Is all the
more apparent .wheu it is found that
there are over one thousand more
dwellings in this city'utban In Hare
ford, which show: that the buildinss
in the latter city are larger. On the
other hand, although we should imag-
ine that the average cost it a build-
ing in Neweiiaven was higher than in
this city, the fact that there are twice
as many as In Bridgeport would indi:
cate that they are smaller, as a rule,
than in Hartford: lint no person can
believe that an assessment which
makes the average dwelling In Han-
ford worth but 822 more than the
average in Bridgeport is anywhm
near full value. it is said to be pine-
ty per cent., but even at. that rating,
Hartford is far more under what the
actual values are.
The some striking disparity is found
in the average values of land. Hart-
ford llxes it as $565. an acre. New lia-
ven at "can note. while Bridgeport
taxpayers find their land at $2,050 an
acre. or nearly four times that of
Hartford and 125 times that of New
Haven! Tito only other town in the
state that shows if rating in land high-
er than Hridgeport‘s in Stamford. Land
In Trumbull is rated two dollars an
acre hither than land in.New Haven.
These are some of the more strik-
ing differences and they disclose a tax
evasion that fully warrants the addi-
tion given in Hartford by the state
board ofequalllltion. indeed. if those

Points for Woman Buying or Maklnp
New Clothes.
it is wise to give advice at Ibis m6.
meat to women who are either makingl
new clothes or buying them. says Aime
Rittenbouse in the New York Times.
Certain fashions are so widely estab
lisbed that it may be well to avoid
them. There is a model. for instance.
which has the narrow high~waisted
skirt. the single box~pialt down
back, kimono blouse. and turnover
collar or yoke.
True, this model is excellent, but it
is so unlyrsal and is made of“ so
many ordinary materials and worn {by
so many thousands of women In all
conditions of life that one should be a'
bit chary about adopting it at this
time of the year. ’
it would be much better to adopt a
new shirt which has every reason for
being in fashion later on and which
has already made a little stir among
these who are looking for new things.
it has "ruffles and sometimes a hip
yoke. The idea is this:
A slim foundation of coarse net.
then three or four finances which belle
the name. for they have no gathers.
They are merely wide folds or bands
which give the appearance of finances
without their characteristics. These
are placed at intervals from hips to
hem. lap over each other and are hm“
iahed with a hem or braid, or Bulgar
ian embroidery.
The blouse la a modified kimono
with trimming down the shoulder and
top of sleeve. The gnlmpe has a deep
V in front and is round at the back.
which is quite ‘a departure from the.
universal Dutch nook which has been'
with us for tlule yearl. in these two
features Monet—the counted skirt and
the deep V neck—there is a smack of
something new. and differing from the
evoopresent be: visit and round neck.
The latter is one of the things that
might well be avoided by the woman
who is getting new clothes. She had
best remain Loyal to the short waist,
for there seems to be no indication
that it will lessen its grip upon the
fashions. There are all kinds of short
waists. however. which women do not
them to realise. it is not necessary
to have the extra high one with the
straight side seams.
Inevening gowns the waists have
grown higher, but in the separate
skirts there is more of an attempt for
a titted waist. The seams are carved
in at the sides to give a graceftd line
and the edge is not more than an inch
above the normal waist line. it is tin-
tuned with a row of stitching to steady
it. and is always hung on an inside
belt. t
By the way, the quality of this in-
side belt should be better understood
by every one. Often the little tailors
and dues-makers do not use the right
kind. They_pnt an inside belt. It is
true, hilt it is made of coutil or ordi-
nary cotton lining. What should be
used If one is to get‘any effect of
a belt is the regulation belting that is
sold in the shops by the yard.

ribbed and clings to the figure and

Appéara Both In Satin and in Wool.
Bummer cloaks and wrap of all
kinds are more than usually good this
year. and they run the gamut from the
severest and most conventional of tal-
lored dust cease to the most fantastic
of little mantles and short costs. The
graceful long coats deserve a chap-
ter of their own. ,
Now is the accepted time for buy-
ing such models in [lightweight mater-
and no one can tell what another sum-
aper any bring fashions. so merchants
are wary of keeping over coats design-
ed entirely for warm weather wear
and are offering excellent bargains,
according to the New York Sun. Some
of these are extreme in line and tie
tail, and these are hardly desirable ev-
en at low prices unless one is content
to use them for the rest of the sum-
mer and throw them aside; but the
more conventionally picturesque mod-
eIs would be likely to give service
next season as well as this, even if
not the very latest cry when another
summer rolls around. I
There are many summer models
which by the addition of lining might
make useful winter evening or car~
rings cloaks. This is true of a major-
ity of the satin long coats, which de‘
pend upon bounty of materipi and
grace of line rather than upon ex-
treme originality or intricate or-
namentation for their charm.
attractive than the long-black satin
coats of the last year it would be hard
to imagine. More elegant and costly
things there are of course. but for the
ordinary woman who must practice
economics yet needs to be well dress
ed a coat of this type is a satisfactory
possession. and at the moment good
satin models are being offered at
tempting prices. Some of the smart-
esti'le fashioned of double faced sat-
in. tmmlly black faced with bright
color, though two tone color effects
are to be seen too.
The huge collar in such a coat is
usually of the collar, the satin being
turned back to form big. soft. draped
revers of the under coltr, and per.
haps deep cuffs as well. There is a
liking too for turning back the cor-
ners of the coat bottom in one was"
or another and so showing anozher
dash of color.
The reversible cent which, was an
unusual thing at the beginning of the
season. is often seen- novv both in sat-
