The citizens of the town of Ripton are
determined that the Jaw restricting the
high speed of automobiles shall be en-
forced to the letter, having due regard
to the safety and comfort of the COM
munity. The following is brief account
of an incident which occurred in that
place few days ago:
Last week Tuesday an automobile of
the touring variety, large, heavy, pow
erful machine, appeared in the town,
passing through at much higher rate
of speed than is justified by the law or
by anybody having regard for the rights
and safety of others, frightening horses
and exposing many people to grave dan
ger. This machine proceeded on its way,
and meeting the rig of John Manning,
the local mail carrier, caused his horse to
dash away with such violence as to
throw Mr.. Manning and his load into a
ditch by the roadside, injuring him and
demolishing about thirty dozen eggs
which he had with him.
Inc uldCnlHe pdSSeu OH tOMdIu LANE
Dunmore, but not before the number of
the car was taken; and later the Chauffeur
of the machine was arrested and brought
back to Ripton and arraigned before
Justice j. S. Chandler, where a fine of
S25 and cost. aggregating about S4S,
which with other expenses, amounted
to about S60-was imposed for reckless
speeding and disregard of the law of the
State.
The car is owned by Mr.. Parsons of
Boston; and after some consideration
the automobiles decided to pay the fine
and costs.
Last week Joseph Goodreau passed
through very similar experience as Mr..
Manning, being thrown into ditch and
both himself and rig injured.
1t is a great injustice to the people
who rightly own and who maintain their
roads to be thrown into bitches by the
sporting element, whose only considera-
ton is their own selfish pleasure. A
locomotive is made to run on rails laid
on a carefully constructed and highly
expensive roadbed. built and owned by
railroad companies, entirely separate
from the highway systems. Not only
this but the engineer, or driver of the
ponderous machine is man selected
with care and after much practical
training. Contrast with this the automo
bile-a giant of strength compared with
team of road horses running wild
upon the peoples highways, not owned
or kept up by the automobiles, but by
the law-abiding farmer and small prop
erty owner for the most part. And the
automobile runs on no regular schedule
neither is it run, generally, by trained
driver; more often it is the mechanism
guided by young adventurer who does
not fully realize the giant strength of the
monster beneath him, and whose mair
desire seems to be to boast of his head
long plunges through the country.
There have been scores of hair breadth
escapes, besides large number of serious
accidents, in Addison county this year
And there will be more unless the select
men wake up to their responsibilities.

NOTES ON THE FAIR.
a Few of the Many Things TO be
Noted by q Visitor.

Thursday, the third day of the great
Addison county fair drew another large
crowd, the weather being of the best.
The village streets were crowded with
people all the forenoon. In the after
noon at two o'clock the crowd on the
grounds estimated at from $4,000 to H.
900. The former estimate is conserva-
tive one. Fully 5000 we're in the grand
stand. AT 40, the grandstand ticket
office was ordered closed, the largest
grandstand in Vermont being full to
overlooking.
The program in the fore part of the
day included the cavalcades of all horses
and cattle entered for premiums on the
track and the exhibition of the matched
and single drivers for examination by
the Judges. These features of the fore
noon attracted large number of specta-
tors.
One part of the fair which was visited
by many people was the room which con-
tanned the dolls that were exhibited by
girls not over 10 years of age in compe-
tition for S25 in special premiums offered.
Miss Mildred Vincent of Orwell was
awarded first premium by Mrs. ]. E.
Weeks, wife of the president of the Nsso
citation. This room was at all times
crowded.

TO TIGHTEN A ROOM.
Little Touches That Will Do Much
in Relieving Gloom.

NO one wants gloomy room, but
what to do with such room is
problem that has bothered more than
one.
Many woman has foregone inside
curtains and even sash curtains to al
low all the light possible to come into
the room, but still it looks dreary.
1t is not as much the light that one
needs as the sunshine, and when this
cannot be had one must make it, or
rather get the effect of it.
A room with a northern aspect
should not, of course, be papered in
blue, or some such cold color, but
rather in rich, warm tones of olive
green, brown, red or yellow. If the
room gets but little light and sur
shine, yellow should be the choice.
Not only should there be yellow on
the walls, but also on the ceiling, for
the sake of the reflection. A pretty
treatment is to have a light pumpkin
yellow on the walls as far as the pic
ture molding and a lighter shade
above this and on the ceiling. Then
yellow silk sash curtains, pulled back,
tend to make room sunny.
Brass can make wonderful differ
ence to dreary room. A large jar
diniere, with plant in it placed in a
dark corner will tighten up most mar
vellously. The andirons, too, will give
CHEEKY reflection, even candlesticks
help, and little trays and bowls, be
they ever so small The Importance
of brass in a sunless room cannot be
too strongly emphasized. Mirrors
brighten up and so do some pictures,
with well-polished glasses and gilded
frames, but these little points are too
seldom taken into consideration.

Fittino a Skirt.

Trouble is sometimes experienced
in fitting skirt to stout figure, but
a little insight into the correct method
Of changing the pattern will be saw
ing of time and patience. After cut
ting and carefully basting the seams
try the skirt on. 1t must be pinned
smoothly around the hips, the front
gore hanging perfectly straight. The
fullness of the back should now be
laid into plaits and pinned into place
In cutting the skirt for stout person
it is we'll to cut the front and first side
gore little longer than the pattern
1t is very essential that the front gore
be kept in the position in which it is
now pinned. To do this the side cores
will have to be lifted

Leather stitchinas.

No smarter touch can be given a
cloth coat at this season than series
of leather stitchings and facings. The
new feathers display glorious range
of color, the tans and golden browns
leading, followed by greens, ranging
from myrtle to lily leaf. Then come
the reds, from wine to poppy; the
violets, mal.ves and blues, all being
calculated to enhance the effect of q
well-cut cloth coat by giving pleasing
relief to collars, revers, cuffs an6
pockets.
Probably the most practical fashions
of the season are those expressed il
wraps of all kinds, and though man!
are extremely simple, they lose moth
ing in smartness for so being.

Lace in Favor AGAIN.

A great deal of handsome lace is tic
be worn again next spring, and it is
not assuming too much to say that
lingerie effects will be in high favor
for summer. Yokes, guimpes and
undersleeves of lace or embroidery
will be important adjuncts to al
frocks, simple or elaborate, and the
idea is happy one for the woman
who likes frequent changes to renew
the freshness of her dresses.
