FRANCES OR MABEL IS
AMONG THE MISSING

Frances Burns, known to the police as
Mabel Bliss. escaped from the State In
dustrial School for Girls at Lancaster
yesterday morning. Last night the Wor-
cester police were notified, and chances
are more than even that Frances will
surely go back to Lancaster if she sets
foot in Worcester.
She was sentenced from Fitchburg for
larceny after being delivered over to the
officers of that city by the Worcester po-
lice. On the night of her arrest she was
found on Front Street by Officer Fred w.
Williams, who, thinking it would be a
shame to lock up such prepossessing
damsel. decided to take her to her home.
She led the officer a long walk, through
Washington Street and pointed out a
house near Bradley Street as her home.
The officer watched her disappear through
the front door. and walked back to his
beat satisfied he had done his duty. Not
10 minutes later Officer Thomas J. Spencer
discovered a woman climbing over a back
fence on Washington Street, and, investi-
eating, found that Frances was about to
separate herself from her supposed home.
Officer Spencer brought her to Station /
Just as Officer Williams arrived at the
station The comparison of notes be-
tween the two officers resulted in her de-
tention, and, as the Fitchburg police had
complaint against her for larceny, she
was delivered over to them and later SEN
fenced to the Industrial School

SPRING STYLES IN
LADIES' SHIRT WAISTS
G. & L.MaCLachIan Give Opinions
on the Subject

Tt will surprise many to know that
already the cloak and suit firms are
thinking about spring styles in shirt
waists. G. & L. MacLachlan the
cloak and suit dealers say that some
times orders for spring shirt waists
are placed as early as January.
This firm says that the shirt waist
has and will continue to have a strong
hold on popular favor, and that while
spring styles cannot be spoken of with
certainty it Is safe to say that the
buttoned-back waist viii be a great
favorite, and the invisible fastening
will not be so popular as the visible
buttons, which will probably be some
what ornamental.
The white shirt waist will most like
ly take the lead on account of its
pleasing suggestiVeness of neatness
and cleanliness, but also for the rea
son that the white waist permits of
greater latitude in the way of fancy
trimmings than cOlored waists.
When asked regarding the probable
cut of the spring shirt waist Mr.. Mac
Lachlan did not feel that he was justi-
fed in making a prediction, but ven
tured to say that chances were in
favor of the shoulder being straight,
rather long, and not very full. He
thought the lighter fabrics would be
cut rather full and that linens would
not be conspicuous for many gathers,
though there would be enough Of that
to give a graceful appearance to the
garment.
In regard to colors Mr.. MacLachlan
thought solid colors-which he ex-
planned to mean rose and green and
blue-would be in greater demand than
any others, and that striped patterns
would find favor with many.
He explained that the shirt waist
was first adopted as a useful and COM
Portable article of wear, but that now
it has received so much care and at
/ tention that it has evolved into an ar
ticle of dress as distinct from mere
clothing

MOSES MARRIED A C0L0RED
GIRL AND GAVE HER A
STRING OF GLASS
BEADS

In the cosy office of a Worcester no.
tel Spy reporter sat among the fell
lows" who were enjoying an after-din-
ner smoke. The conversation turned
upon glassmaking, and one man, who
had Travelled for firm Of glass blow
ers, gave it as his opinion that proba-
bly, Moses presented the colored girl
whom he married with a string of
glass beads as pretty as any we can
make now, and that it is not too much
to say that Abraham may have drunk
wine, with his best girl, but of decent
looking tumblers or wine glasses. His
opinion was founded upon the fact
that the manufacture of glass can be
traced as far back as 300 years ago.
An artist, who was listening with his
chair tilted against the wall, admitted
that such might have been the case.
but he declared that nothing in ancient
glass making could surpass the gor
geous beauty Of modern cut glass.
What do you see in cut glass that
makes you think SOP inquired the ex
drummer. The Spy man saw a chance
for bit of artistic expression of opin-
ion and quietly stenographed the fol-
lowing reply to the artist

pure quality, is a combination of the
Shimmerlng moonlight, the tremulous
tWlnkling of the stars and the seven

He stopped. and the reporter noticed
that nearly every man had been list
enins-something unusual in a crowd
of that kind

The designs are symmetrical and har-
monious, and there is a unity. softness
and grace about them that arouse
feelings of intense pleasure. There is
an intention andmotive in the best de-
signs that appeal to the intellect-es-
pecially in geometrical and naturalistic
designs-and the eye rests upon them
with a high degree of satisfaction
The question arose as to where such
cut glass as the artist described could
be found. and the Spy man was glad
to be able to tell them that his paper
has frequently advertised just such
glass as this for the Clark-sR wyer Co.
Christmas framed goods at Boutelle
& Co.'S art store, 256 Main Street.
