The New Law About Savings Bank
Deposits.

The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Co., of Hyde Park, VT, calls
the atteI ton of Savings Bank Depos-
itors to the fact that they may in
crease their present deposits in this
Bank to $4,000 or may make new de-
posit for that sum, regardless of the
fact that they have a deposit of $4,000
or less in some other Savings Bank.
Such deposit will not be subject to tax
ton against the deposition. The Bank
pays the tax.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
enjoys the unique distinction of hav-
ing never leaned dollar outside Yer
mont and of having never lost dol
ar by poor note, during the entire
seventeen years of its existence. 1t is
today one of the strongest financial
ntitutions in the state. Including the
Ii ability of the stock holders, it offers
a guaranty of more than $780, that
no deposition shall suffer loss. It pays
81 per cent interest, compounded
semi annually.
An interesting leafiet giving de-
tailed information, touching this Bank
will be sent to anyone. Ask for the
same, giving your address on postal
card.

This Is what the men told me- The women
said they had not found 1t any more dread
full to go to a polling-place and vote than to

never seen nor heard anything shocking at
a polling place, but invariably they had

WOMEN AS CAR CONDUCTORS.
Their Employment in Chilean Town
sAttend Well to Their Work.

Il toin Tue Los Angeles Times.
The most remarkable feature of the VAL
paraiso street car system is it's conductors;
they are women. The sex is also employ ed
In like capacity in Santiago and all the
other cities of Chile that have horse or cleo
trio trans. This practice sprang into being
at the time of the revolution of 1891 when
men and money were scarce and women
plentiful. Having apparently given salts
faction to their employers during the in
tervening years they are still retained
The first women conductors We're said to
have been young and pretty and to have
been dressed in natty uniforms Tradition
even goes further and says that at that
the entrance requirements" In the light
OF the present this seems hard to believe.
1t Is also recorded that after while the
natty uniforms were dropped, and it is just
possible that the apochryphal youth and
beauty clause was stricken out at the same
time.
Today. Judging from what I have seen in
a somewhat painstakng survey of the sit
uation, / would say that the possession OF
youth and beauty, far from being require
disqualification. The customary dress of
lady tram conductor Of today is a broad
brimmed SLOUGH hat, a short jacket with
the sleeves turned back an inch or two and
a short black skirt. always hanging with
heavy port or starboard list
They are neither fiirtatious nor prudish,
and no scandals are heard about them. To
a foreigner 1t is an interesting sight to OBJ
serve the street car girl, to note how capa-
bly, che manages her car, and the quiet,
business-like way in which she goes
through the routine of collecting fares
giving change. discharging passengers and
seeing that the rule regarding the number
admitted Ia not broken.

What Is FruitP
From the Baltimore News.

Among the perplexing questions brought
before the interstate commerce commission
by the new rate law is whether melons, po-
tatoes, squashes and other agricultural
products are fruits. 1t is an interesting ex-
emplifcation of the way in which one SUBJ
ject brings up another by implication in
constituting legislative enactment, that this
matter is an outcome Of congressional ef
fort to curb the free-pass evil. In prohib-
iting the issue Of free passes an exception
was made in favor of necessary caretakers
Of live stock, poultry and fruit" Southern
growers hold that the melon is fruit, and
Maine growers are equally sure that po-
tatoes are fruit, and claims are now actu-
ally pending that these two classes OF
growers are entitled to free passes for per-
sons to travel with the melons and po-
tatoes to see that they are humanely treat
I'd and their wants relieved during transit
to market.
II potatoes and melons are fruit in the
contemplation or the law, upon what rule
can the pumpkin, the squash or indeed any
vegetable product be rejected as basis for
the issue OF free passes? Here is a gap by
which the agricultural interests of the
country may break through the meshes OF
the law, and the rural sage may flash out
his pass while the city politician must pay
his way. Much, therefore, will depend on
the decision of the interstate commerce
commission on this momentous question.
BY giving a wide Interpretation to fruit the
anti-pass clause may be made unfruitfui
as an agency of reform

this season. In the latter, designs and
size have changed somewhat, the all-over
pattern SO long considered correct having
given place to plain center with double
border In the matter of size 1t Is essen
tial that the cloth should fall at least
eighteen inches below the edge of the
table.
All dinner cloths are sold by the pattern,
the ends to be hemmed, as hemstitched
cloths are now considered quite passe.
Luncheon cloths present q greater variety
OF choice, for the smaller prices that do
not entirely cover the top Of the table may
be hemstitched or not, according to indi-
vidual preference. Lace edge cloths which
show the polished table are still very
smart and linens with patterns in color
direct from Paris are very fashionable
just now.
One of the newest designs in dinner
cloths shows the plain damask center with
corners there are devices that correspond
TO the pattern in the borders. These de-
signs may be cut away In case a round
care to remove the decorative ends. Bor-
der designs are all bold and effective, be-
ing either conventionalized flowers or
copies of the scrolls that are a feature Of
the Renaissance designs. While most Of
the table cloths are square, the design Is
invariably round or oval, according to the
size Of the cloth.
For luncheon covers the Delft blue or
rose pink borders in floral designs woven
about plain damask center are exceed
ingly smart. Tulips, wild rose vines and
chrysanthemums are popular motifs used
for the purpose Even colored linens, pro-
vided they are In delicate tints, are quite
correct just now.
For breakfast the colored cloths are used
and are really duplicates of those designed
for luncheons, with the exception that they
are larger than the latter.
With the exception of the French or OBJ
long style napkins or doilies, all are square
in size, hemstitched for breakfast and
luncheon and hemmed by hand for din
ner use.
Irish and Scotch linens with their hard
stfn finish are in great demand for dinner
cloths, and more of them are sold than the
softer German napery with It's high luster
and finer weave. In demand, however, for
fine soft woven linen for general use
the Scottish looms are now turning out
hemstitched napery that more nearly ap-
proaches the Austrian than any that has
been previously produced outside Of the
German-speaking countries.
The German linens, that ordinarily bring
better prices than those made in Scotland
or Ireland, are also woven in a cheaper
quality, that sells for at least 10 per cent
under the Scottish ones. But they are not
the bleached cloths. though If a woman
cares to invest in them she will find that
after few washings and bleachings they
will be as white as the most expensive fab
rio. This linen is no longer known ''un-
bleached.'' but Is called silver bleach, be-
cause 1t has silvery rather than yellow
cast.

Table Linen.

English eyelet and cut work for doylies

The Spirit Of the Boulevard.
from Harpers Weekly.


Tho boulevard Is a kingdom-an imperium
In imperio-without any acknowledged king,
but with large number Of pretenders to
the throne. With the rise Of the republic
in France, an aristocracy of intellect has
taken the place Of the old aristocracy of
birth, and actually governs the country in
its stead. A similar change has been eff
fected on the boulevard. The days Of the
handles, Of the titled noceurs led by the
Due de Grammont Caderousse, the MARQUIS
Of Hertford. Lord ."Arsonille." are over.
Even the Maison Doree on whose narrow
staircase the Duke Of Hamilton. after a CO.
pious dinner, fell and broke his neck, has
been swept away. One must 60 to Mont

courtier and wealthy nobleman, a Morny or

Of her day, was served up, in the

automobile, with its waterproofs. and eoe-
gles has supplanted the Brilliant equipaees
a Ia Daumont and the sumptuous liveries Of
the imperial epoch. Seekers after mere
sensual pleasure and riotous dissipation no
longer have their needs supplied by the
boulevard; they must go farther afield-to
