The broadcloths are more beautiful than ever, if that were possible. Real gold buttons are none too good for the season's handsomest waists, whether they are of flannel or silk. 26o. is very little to pay for a corset, but that is all A. L.

Foster Company will ask to-day between three and four o'clock for their 75c. values. Silks, velvets, canvases and all other dress materials must be soft and cling ing of texture if they expect to be select ed to adorn the feminine form this year. You know a finger half filled with rings is not beautiful. So, too, the gown that is too heavily loaded with the golden embroideries and trimmings which are coming into fashion will fall to appeal to the best tastes.

The offer which Horsfall Rothschild are making in their children's department provides a splendid opportunity to get school clothes for the boys. Ottoman silk Is used In making some very handsome carriage cloaks. The revers and collar of such a garment are of fur and the lining cannot be too rich in color and texture. While elderly people still cling to plain hats and gowns of rich materials for mourning wear, the younger ladies are wearing very attraotlve and elaborate mournlug, particularly hats. The style and fit the Fisk, Clark Flagg waists, combined with superior materials, are "what have made them Indispensable to the well-dressed women of our city and vicinity.

Horsfall Roths child use great care In the selection of these garments, a statement that will not be disproved by an examination of their present display of French flannel waists of this most excellent make. The following from "Vogue" will be news to those who do not already know that the styles of dress 'are often very different in two places not distant. You must order your gowns and hats according to the places they are be worn In. In winter, for instance, when you give an order to your New York tailor, gown-maker and milliner, for an outfit for a month at Washington, if they are the best makers, they know exactly the style required. A wardrobe suitable for New York entertainments would not be thought worthy of admiration at the capital city.

To be well dressed- there, means that a touch of gorgeousness must be evident If that is larking a woman's reputation smartness fades or halts. In the summer anything loud or voyante Is frowned upon, and the gown-makers there for the season know that too well to risk even some of the charming Imported tilings worn In London and Paris. These same gowns at Saratoga or Nar- ragansett would not be looked at twice but what Newport will not wear, they will and do, and pay well for them. MRS. JANE WESTOVER.

Story of Life of Well-K nown Marlborough Charao ter. (Special to The Courant.) East Hampton, Sept. 13. The funeral of Mrs. Jane Westover was held at her late home in Hebron at 2 o'clock this afternoon and at 3 o'clock at the Methodist Church in Marlborough.

The Rev. E. Jenkins officiated and the interment was in the Marlborough Cemetery. Mrs. Westover was for many years a noted resident of Marlborough, going there when quite a young woman.

She had graduated from a city hospital as a trained nurse and followed her profession for some time with marked success. For several years she acted as the village barber and many persons now living in the town oan testify as to her ability as a shaver or hair cutter. Mrs. Westover was quite masculine in appearance and furthered her mannish style by invariably appearing in those days in an overcoat and derby hat. Frequently she was taken for a man.

For 18 years she made her home with Mrs. Lucien Buell. After her death she took up her residence with Mrs. Mary Beckwith of Hebron, where she died Tuesday morning of acute lumbago after an Illness of only two or three days. Mrs.

Westover was a very large woman weighing 265 pounds, and was sometimes called "Big Jane." In addition to money already saved and several hundred dollars left her by the late Mrs. Buell, her bank acoount is said to have reached a neat amount. Some time ago John Day was appointed her conservator. Mrs. Westover Is said to have left several relatives, who reside in New Britain and Meriden though the whereabouts of her husband is not definitely known.

A Big Blow Hlarh Tide Wares Reaoh the Bulkheads. (Special to The Courant.) Westbrook, Sept. IS. There was a big blow here yesterday. The wind began to rise with the turn of the tide about 8 a.

m. and steadily increased until the tide was at flood. The tide was the highest it has been in six years. At the east end beaches the waves lashed the bulkheads furiously for several hours. On West Beach, the water reached the bulkheads as far west as the Raymond Tower cottage.

The reach of the undertow was about 30 feet. When the tide turned, shortly afternoon, the wind shifted around to north-west where It has since remained. Despite the high wind, the thermometer was up close to 90 degrees at midday. The night before was unsuf-ferably hot. Some of the cottages say that It was the hottest night we have had this summer.

Last night, however, was cold, the coldest we have had this season and to-day the weather is delightfully cool. The heavy sea tore up great masses of sea weed and threw it up on the beach. The villagers were down with pitchforks this morning, taking up cart-loads of it. It makes an excellent bedding for cattle and horses. New London Baptist Association.
