Your Judgment
On Skirt Length
PARIS. Feb. 20.—-The length
of skirts worn by fashionable wo-
men this spring will depend
somewhat upon personal per-
formance, Judging from styles
exhibited at the opening of the
rucing season at Longchamps
yesterday.
Some of the models who par-
aded in the bitted breeze. wore
skirts falling only three or four
inches below the knee. while
others were about the same dis-
tance from the ground. It was
remarked that the new short'
skirts are a little wider than
when the vogue was at its
height. .

At the regular meeting of the
Frank C. Godfrey Post. No. 12’, Am-
'erican Legion last night’. a commit-
tee was appointed by Commander
LeRoy D. Downs to make inquiry
regarding arsite for a public play-
ground.
The matter was. discuued at
length. Some seemed to think that
there should be two playgrounds on
in the First District and one in the
Second District and that there should
be a. supervisor in charge of them.
The committee appointed last eve-
ning will look over several sites. The
members will also take the matter
up with the City .Council to the ad-
visability of going ahead with the
project. Archibald Merriam was
tee.
It was also voted to show the~mov.
ing pictures “Flatshes of Action" at
the State Armory some Sunday aft-
ernoon in the near fumre if the per-
mission of Mayor Robins can be ob-
tained. This picture is issued by the
War department and the scenes
were taken in France by the Signal
Corps during the World'War. Col-
onel Ernest K. Coulter a member of
the local Post. was in charge of this
work in France and it is through
him that the’ local Post has been
able to secure the pictures free of
charge.
After the regular meeting refresh-

the Pine street plant grounded on
one of the tightening arrestors and
blew up.
The local telephone office report—
ed that many of the wires were
down, Manager Nutting ais osaid
that the traffic. during the early part
of the morning was unusually heavy
and this necessarily rendered the
service a little bit slow.
Trolley service was being main-
tained by the Connecticut company.
Superintendent Thomas McLean an-
nounced that the trolleys were run-
ning only a few minutes behind
schedule.
During the entire night. the com-
pany kept cars operating on alluded
to keep the tracks cleared of show.
On the Winnipauk line. the trolleys
were only ten minutes behind time
up to 8:30 o'clock. The Stamford
line was thrown off schedule about
10 o'clock this morning when an au-
tomobile stalled accross the tracks
in Noroton.
Superintendent Eben F. Putnam
of the Connecticut Light and Power
company said that the storm had
not done much damage up to press
time to the power wires. A wire
was reported down here and there.
but repairs were quickly made. If
it should freeze tonight. however. a
duplication of last week's trouble
which caused thousands of dollars
of damage was predicted by Mr.
Putnam.

To Honor Descendant
of an Old Family
FAIRFIELD, Feb. 20PM event
of interest will be held in the spring
when Miss M. Louisa Hyde. the last
lineal descendant of the Hyde-Jes-
sup families will be honored at a
public reception in the parish house
of the Congregational church of
Green's Farms.
The history of Westport is so
closely interwoven with the family
records of these two historic houses
that to know one is to appreciate
the worth and enduring influence of
the other. Far back beyond Colon-
ial days when the ladies of the fam-
ily were county belles and the men
were hewing the beams of the re-
public. to a more colorful era when
the Stuarts reigned in England and
the family ranked high in court1 the
Hyde name goes.
The Jessups. a name renowned in
Colonial history. by their achieve
ments and gifts did much to en-
grave their memory upon the annals
of Westport.
Miss Hyde is the last lineal des-
cendant of the Hyde and of the local
branch of the Jessups.
This coming reception to be held
in her honor will undoubtedly at-
tract wide attention. A special pro-
gram with musical features. and
with remarks by prominent repre-
sentatives of many organizations.
will be given. Prominent women
will be hostesses.

Chemical was used to extinguish
the flames. A large part of the
metal ceiling had to be torn away
by the firemen to reach the fire.
The loss waicovered by insurance.
Despite the damaged done by the
fire the store was open for business
today. Repair: will be made Just
