There have bser periods OF time when mems
outer garments were more graceful, more ptct-
uresque, more attractive, more expensive or
more comfortable to the wearer than they are
now, but when they so perfectly COM
bned comfort, utility, appropriateness and
beauty.

grays will predominant. Herringbone twfst

worsteds and basket stripes and gun club
checks will be popular in cheviots.
CHANGE IN SACK COATS.
There win he some changes in the cut and
finish Of outer garments. the most conspicuous
of which will be the more shapely fit Of the
sack coats. They will be almost close fitting
about the waist. with fare button. There
will also be a tendency toward square shoul-
ders and this. together with the tight waist,
will give we'll formed men rather military ap-
pearance The bottom width Of trousers has
been decreased again, and although some men
will doubtless go to extremes in this respect
the fashion plates published by The Sartorial
Art Journal" show that the pegtop Of last sea-
son is preserved, and the slightly narrower bot
tom gives the leg a neater appearance that is
well suited to the spring and summer months.
Evening dress will be the same as it has been
for years. but during the spring and summer
months the white waistcoat Will be worn more
than IL in the last season. White silk is
becoming popular for evening dress waisrcoats,
but it will probably not displace the washable

Of restoring il to original condition after it has
become soiled. When the waistcoats are made
of black material they will be single breasted
and trimmed with narrow. fancy black braid in
keeping with the side stripes on the trousers.
THE TUXEDO FOR HALF DRESS
The Tuxedo will be made with a heavy silk
facing and tailors think that there will be few
peaked lapels worn. and that the shawl roll will
be TO the exclusion of all other styles
During the warm season this coat will probably

Two Children Drowned.

Frightened at Men with Guns, They
Ran Into the RIver---Sad Ending OF
Picnic Party.
A little picnic party last Sunday near
the mouth of Williams river had a peculiar
ly sad ending Two children of Joseph
Haigh, a riverman employed on the log pile
by the international Paper company, were
drowned. Mr.. Haigh, who lives in North
Walpole, was in charge of the party, which
consisted of eleven children, and had rowed
them up the river in logman's bateau in
the morning. When the time came for
their lunch Mr.. Haigh left them playing on
the shore and went away some distance to
get drinking water. Upon his return he
found his boy of eight years and girl of ten
lying at the bottom under about ten feet
of water.
From accounts given by the others it is
supposed that the children became fright
ened at two men with guns. They scat
tered in different directions and these two
ran into the water. Although the bodies
were in plain sight they were not removed
ter they were found, or until coroner
could be called
One other child was Mr.. Naigle's, the re-
mainder being neighbors and the occasion
was 10th birthday of Priscilla Donette.
The funeral was held in st. Peters church
Tuesday morning and the burial was in the
North Walpole cemetery near Cold River.
Much criticism of the course of the two
men in not attempting a rescue is being
made.
