PLaris Chic— Silk Frocks For Madame and Miss —SMART AND VARIED FABRICS ~—NEW AND CHARMING NECKLINES ~—UNEVEN HEMLINES AND DRAPES —SNUG HIP LINES Characterize the New Fashion For Spring and Summer NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1928, $25.00, $29.50, $39.50 Showing new prints—sheer chiffon and georgette—Canton and flat crepes — smart tailored models and charming dressy models for dress occasions, inexpensively priced too are some lovely frocks—$9.95 and $14.95 each, Silk Frocks—Second Floor Correcting an Error Due to a typographical error in Thursday’s Herald the reduced price of a 10 piece dining room suite was given at $2.95 instead of $295.00. The price was obviously a mistake and one of the kind that inevitably occurs in the rush of getting out a daily newspaper, even type getting balky and arranging itself contrary to instructions. The regular prices of these dining room suites are $450.00 and $395.0C and at $295.00 Are a most exceptional value, They are high grade suites, in three patterns, six of each, in the latest turnings and finishes, some with hard lacquer finish, making it impervious to heat and cold, consisting of ten pieces. The Herald deeply regrets the error which it feels certain its readers quickly recognized as Brown Thomson & Co. has a most enviable reputa- tion for their adherence to absolute truth in statements contained in their advertising and for the genuineness of their sales.

McKernan of- fered a perfect solution of the problem. A large number of interested per- sons attended the meeting, which | was held to allow the crystallizing ' and expression of opinion on the part of the property owners, many of whom might not feel like speak- ing at a formal hearing such as wes held in Hartford last week. These people felt freer last night and there was a lengthy discussion of the pro- posed alterations. The property owners’ objections were largely on the basis of damage to their lands and houses, some of which would be completely wiped out by one or the other of the schemes now being considered. None really favored the original plan of the highway department and rall- road. While there were felt to be some objectionable features in the both sidos of the street at this point the drivers are forced to conmtinue persons wishing to board the coaches and not knowing where the vehicles: will stop. The members felt that a definite stop eould and should be established for the mutual benefit of company an1 passengers, and steps will be taken toward this end.
