Mills at FAN River Will Run on Shorter
Hours.

Fall River. Mass, May 25.-Quite a
number of the cotton mills here will
shut down, tonight, for the remainder
of the week and some of the mills will
be closed until June 6. During the next
few weeks it is expected the curtail-
ment will be heavier than 1t has been
all the spring, the Flint, Barnard, Bor-
der City, Sycamore, Winpanoag and
other plants having decided to run but
BIZ hours weekly.
Manufacturers do not know how long
the depression in the trade will last.
Advices from several of the dry goods
Ccnters state that the belief Is held by
some large dealers that prices are now
at rock bottom. 1t is in the opiniol of
local men that the future depends up
on the general business situation and
upon the cotton outlook.
Advices from mill towns in southern
New England and western Massachu-
sets indicates that mills employing a
total upwards of $4,000 hands are run
ming short schedules. 1t is said that
additional yarn producing concerns
will probably curtail the output soon.

 No, she said, Fl can't possibly leave home for a whole half day. You see, I'm obliged to spend all my time helping the children with their lessons, their teach- CTS give them all so much outside work to do.

FOR DEvoTEEs OF DRESS.
Eotes of the Modes for Femanin~ reI- lowers of Dame Taahion's
 Dictates.

It used to be said thai gown was no better than its lining In many cases this year gowns. are not as good, or at any rate not as expensive, The silk drop skirt is of course. inevitable, and when the material of the gown is very sheer and trapsparent. an interlining of chiffon is almost necessity, says the New York Post. Lovely effects are pos sihle with this chiffon interlining. A black lace dress over white silk is made much more beautiful by using pale gray, or even decidedly dark shade of gray interlining. The sharp contrast between the black and white is broken and the softest surface given to the lace. With colored silk drop white or very light chiffon interlining is used effectively. Suppose H yelling gown of wood brown lined with burnt orange taffeta. The chiffon drop might be light brown, pale yellow or deep cream The yelling, be- ing kept away from the taffeta by the chiffon, the deap orange color shows through in diffused glow of color rather than in stripes and splotches.
 Mysterious effects are obtained by combining several colors of chiffon nrl- der black lace or net gown. Pale blue ! over two or three shades of violet and mauve, blue over pale pink, and pale green over rose color are examples. Many white lace gowns are made over accordion plaitad chiffon Things. and this under dress is often spangled or jetted with white jets
 A beautiful gown of two kinds of lace, dyed a deep mauve, is made over ac- cordion plaited mauve chiffon, spangled with gold. The body of the gown is of French lace in Valenciannes pattern, and is. trimmed with Il heavy point de Venise. The skirts,has a hip yoke, a front panel, and two circular bands of the heavy lace. and the waist has a cape. and sleeve of the same. The yoke is of the thinner lace, and is an intricate piece of hand work sewn with chiffon quillipgs and gold spangles, There is a corsage ornament made of pale blue pale pink and mauye satin ribbons, each end he- ing finished with a long tassel of gold beads. s.g .s
 Lace dyed the exact shade of the gown material trims an artistic creation in pearl or oyster white silk. The skirt has three wreath-band decorations of auilled Valentiennes, and these bands arc over- laid at intervals with long, pointed mo- tives of heavier lace, also dyed to match the silk. The short bolero is cut into sharp points, each one outlined with the heavy lace. There is a blouse of silk muslin, and undarsleeves of the same, trimmed with quillings of Valenciennes.
 Shirt waist suit patterns of white k flannel, beautifully embroidered aue recent French importations With every pattern comes croquis, or design for making the gown. Similar patterns arc to be had for shirt waists.

 Outside of my study window, there is placed every winter a large wooden tray hlled with canary seed, bread-crumbs, shredded suet and cracked nuts and many hungry birds come there to get their meals.

Presently she darted down, with her crest raisedi and her bill open and ready for business, and then I caught sight of the rascallyi red squirrel, who seurried round the, trunk to avoid her. Round and round she chased him, until he seemed to lose his presence of mind and leaped to the ground.

 in the End.

Not far from where live, a red squir- rel had his winter nest In a hollow apple tree. near the edge of wood It was warm nest, made of soft brown bark. which the industrious little fellow had stripped from the trunk of half dozen cedar trees in the fall. He used this nest for two purposes--to sleep In at night, and to hide in when he was closely pressed by an enemy. He was seldom there in the daytime, for he was as hardy as a polar bear, and was abroad in almost all kinds Of weather The snow was never too deep for him, nor the air too biting cold. Often, while the gray squirrels were so sound asleep Ill their tree-top nests that you would ai- most have had to pinch them to make them wake up, followed the trail of my little red squirrel from tree to tree, and along the walls and fence rails, untir I have found him perched on the top of a farm gate-post, eating hickory nut with great composure, while the wind fairly whistled through the long hairs of his bushy tall, which tried in vain to maintain reasonably. upright position Sometimes, when there was no snow on the ground, the first elimination would have of his presence would be an irritable, chattering cry such as red squirrels are in the habit of nttering when they are displeased.
 True to his family characteristics, he was provident little fellow, and during the autumn he always gathered and stored away enough nuts and seeds to last him through the longest winter he was ever likely to see In the year of which write, hs had made no exception. and he had several piles of nuts hidden 4n stumps and under logs in the vicinity of his home. But, unfortunately for him. band of thoughtless boys, roaming the woods, accidentally came upon one of his hoards. and in noisy glee, began to fill their pockets with their plunder. The presence of these nuts in itself suggested there might be more in the vicinity, and before dark the urchins had so thorough 1y secured that corner of the woods that they had found and carried off every nut which the squirrel had been at such pains to gather. Poor fellow. he had very hard time of 1t for the
