Those who have never worn chemises are tempt

shown in the shops, the tops being so patterned
as to take the place of a corset cover. The tops
are put into scallops and points edged with mar

by eyelets, through which narrow ribbons are
run. Two sets of ribbons are used, one for the
front and back, the ends meeting in the shout

lace and embroidery insertion simulate bolero,

large lace motif or bow of ribbon.

the consequences OF committing the
crime OF murder, he was mentally IRE

dangerous man TO DO at large. This
testimony was corroborated by DR. w.

show that Mullen acted queerly In that

The state has been unable TO show
any motive for the crime. No other
motive for the killing OF Fred Batch

than he liked to see people die. The
evidence OF the experts will te,d to
show that Mullen Is insane and dan.

Pownal, Oct. io.-Work on the cleo

rapidly. The rails we're laid Monday
as far as the o. II. Barber pasture,
the holes for the trolley poles ars dug
from the state line TO the Bates cattle
pass and the bonding OF the rails has
progressed as far as the residence OF
Charles Gates about one-half mile
south OF Pownal.
This end has been so far completed
that @. W. Blakeley 4 Sons, the track
contractors, have moved the shanty
which they had on A. Thompson's
property - point near Pownal Cen.
ter.
Pownal people feel very confident
that cars will run here this fall, even
though Bennington Is not reached.
The way they figure II Is that the pres
ent state line car is run ut a loss 10 the
company but they are obliged 10 oper-
ate II by their franchise. To come TO
Pownal and return would take but 10
minutes ut the outside and would make
this run profitable.
