York;
When a change comes In things sar.
torial-a change that Is Numerically
opposed to everything that has gone
before 1.-THE natural psychological
process Is a graduation from amused in.
terest, through reluctant admiration,
TO final enthusiastic adoption. Espe.
cially is this true of Americans. This
Is what I predict for the new skirt
which the great Paquln has lately
launched, and which is all the rage
in Paris" So writes Mrs. Osborn In
the December Deiineator.
This skirt is suggestive OF the
s~heath.sklrt OF several years ago, but
differs from 1t in the slight fitness
deftly introduced In the front. The
figure Is outlined and its graceful con.
tour is emphasized by this model,
which Is. in reality, only an adapta.
ton Of the ce%ntury-old Directoire
style. The coat that usually accompa.
niles this skirt is also descended from
that period. a short-walsted. fanciful
affair-frivolous, II you will-with
full cntaway skirts, and made elabo-
rate with much trimming.
The original Paquin skirt is high.
WASTED, and sweeps the floor all
aroand, with extra length at the back,
but there will be notifications OF this
to suit American ideas Of practically.
1t seems superfluous to say that this
skirt Is designed to supple fabrics OF
the nature OF crepe de Chine, liberty
satin, messaline. radium. lightweight
armure or ottoman, marquisette AMI
broadcloth and velvet of chiffon
weight. No trimming whatever ap.
pears on these skirts, although per-
haps a flat facing at the foot or two
or three tucks would not be out OF
harmony.
The cutaway coat is a smart, iaunty
garment that Is having much vogue
this season, and Its lines are very
pleasing. 1t Is usually made to tit
snigly and may have a vest or be
made quite plain, as preferred. Louis
coats and redingotes of the Directoire
type are made with revers outlining
vests of heavy ottoman or MORE silk.
over which fan face jabots knotted at
the top. Large buttons Of beautiful
desngns and colors appear on these
coats. some Of them OF great value.
A novel design, showing the sea.
sons tendency toward unusual lines.
is a coat In three-quarter length with
an inverted box plat at each side OF
the back stitched flat at the top and
nar1ng below, giving a short.walstci
erect. This suggestion Is further nc.
centnated by three buttons and looms
at each plait. Another coat made
from this same design was braidel

waist, and a corresponding band fin.

A shaded lavender scarf accompanied
this exquisite creation.
For a young matron, a charming
dress of brown.and.gold brocaded vel

MR.. scHUsrER's RECITAL

The musical delight of the season was
VIII Schusters song recital in the Audi
forum last night From the beginning
until the last note of a program of gem
erous length the audience listened with
admiration, not to say amazement, to an
almost matchless flow of melody from
Brattleboro's talented musical son, who
has gained wide recognition on the
operate stage. VIII Schuster is a musi-
cal genius, a master in the art of pleas
ing those who hear him, and he does II
not alone with his voice. but with the as
sstance of his natural and irresistible
dramatic temperament. 1t was his
voice, however and his ability to use it
that chiefly concerned the audience last
night, and enthusiastic applause placed
the stamp of approval upon every num-
ber 1t was his first public appearance
in his home town since he achieved dis
tinction in his field, although through
laurels won elsewhere his name had been
linked as one of u trio of noted vocal
artists whom this town could claim as it's
own.
Mr.. Schuster possesses a robust BARI
tone voice, full and vigorous, Astounding
in richness and resonant to high de-
gree. 1t is under admirable control, and
whether it be in the rollicklng "Son Of
the Desert" song by Wilson, the dramatic
"Toreadors Song" from Carmen" the
THE Heart Bowed Down." with which
Mr.. Schuster has stirred audiences to
tears, the intonation is perfect. His
enunciation is clear and pleasing and he
is the soul of expression. Long assocla-
ton with the stage has given him a pres
ence which adds much to the general
satisfaction one derives from hearing him
sing. Mr.. Schuster gave an excellent
program, perhaps the most pleasing num-
bers besides those mentioned being the
beautiful Evening Star" song from
"Tannhauser" and Schuman's Farewell"
which was the closing selection.
With the exception of an orchestral ac-
compartment on two numbers the accom-
PIANIST for the evening was Miss Harriet
M. Holden. Miss Holden did this work
with exceptional skill. She not only play
ed without note before her the entire
evening but manifested marked ability
in conforming to Mr.. Schuster's individual
style of phrasing. Miss Holden certainly
is in the front rank of Brattleboro accom-
panists. Leitsinger's orchestra appeared
in two numbers, and its rendition of an
overture by Suppe was particularly de-
lightful. Carl Leitsinger, cOrnetist, closed
the first part of the program with "An-
ME Laurie" responding to an encore with
robin Adair" His rendering of these
two familiar melodies gave the audience
much pleasure. The attendance at the
recital was not large.

REUNITED AFTER IS YEARS.

Watson French Has Found Long Lost
Daughter-Each Supposed the other
Was Dead-Mlss French to Remain
Here
After a separation Of 16 years. during
which each supposed that the other was
dead Watson s. French and his youngest
child, Miss Lila French, have been re-
united. and the daughter is now living at
her fathers home on the Marlboro road.
Mr.. French naturally was overjoyed to
find his long lost daughter but he feels
that i'm taking her away from him and In
keeping both the father and daughter in
ignorance of each others whereabout' s
those responsible fell far short of COM
hitting an act of Christian charity.
The daughter is now 19 years old. When
she was three years old her father, who
was not following the pathway of life
which he is now following, became sepa-
rated from the child. Her story Is that
she went to Wilmington and afterwards
lived with some Quakers. AT the age Of
eight years she was taken to the Home
for Little Wanderers in Boston.
Two years later she was adopted by
Mr. and Mrs. George Brand of Pawtucket,
Il. l.. and went to their home to live. She
was there until January of the present
year, when she received a letter from her
brother and sister. who were visiting their
mother in Milford Mass, asking her to
come to Milford to visit them. on her ar
rival i'm Milford she was told that her
father was living in Brattleboro. Pre-
viouslv she had been told that her father
died I'm jail.
Two months elapsed before arrange
ments were made for the daughter TO visit
her father in Brattleboro. She finally
came here and went TO Whites livery
stable, from which place she telephoned
to her father. Mr.. French had not heard
from his child for 16 years and the rele-
phone message was like a message from
the spirit world. He FASTENED to the
stable ana clasped his daughter in his
arms
Miss French says she will remain here
