Appropriate Jcweiry for Mourners.

Women in mourning have SO long
been denied the wearing of jewelry of
any sort that they will welcome the
new jet novelties which fashion de-
crees as appropriate for them.
Jet buckles for belts and hats, hat
pins of jet and pins and chains of jet
have taken the place of the dull black
beads and other accessories SO popu-
lar n few months ago.
Nor are these jet things to be worn
only by those in mourning. for they
are much in favor with women who
wear black on occasions. because it is
becoming.

three acres of land for piling lumber. On

also emery wheels, saws, saw bits, and
shanks, brass pipe fittings, and steam

This firm has built up a business that
extends all over this section and their
success has come by hard work, mixed
with brains, and all those qualities which
combine to make success for the indi
vidual or the firm

to play on that floor claiming that the
floor is not neutral, is not regulation
size, and has not sufficient seating capa-
city to accommodate the crowd who
would attend. Company d hopes to
have the game played in Montpelier
where the floor is neutral, regulation
size and has room to accommodate all
who would attend from both places, and
would give Montpelier and Barre people
a chance to see a fast game of basket
ball.
Fifteen rooters went to Brattleboro
with the team last Friday to witness the
game. None were satisfied with the
treatment received there.

The National Life Insurance Co. of
Vermont,

The remarkable results attained by the
National Life Insurance Co. of Vermont
in this state are based upon the solid
grounds of being able to furnish our own
people with the best and most liberal
policies of Life, Endo wment and term in
surance at reasonable rates which can be
found in any market or issued by any
company. This is why the National Life
made net gains of $500, 900 Insurance in
Vermont in 1908, $212 900 more than
any other company. This fact demon
strates that the National commands the
home patronage which it deserves.
