THIEVES IN RUTLAND
People Annoyed by Small Robberies-
Police Have No Clue.

Rutland. Dec. 30.-Several Rutland
people have been victims of petty
thieves within few days and as yet
the police have been unable to make
single arrest or even to get clue as
to the identity of the culprits. Some
time between Saturday night and this
morning somebody entered the millin-
cry establishment of Mullins & Hoy
by breaking pane of glass. They
pried open the cash register but 1t was
empty and the only booty they got was
S1.25 in pennies in two little banks be-
longing to employees.
1t was learned today that while En-.
sign Slater of the Salvation Army
corps was absent from home Friday
some person who evidently had key
entered the house by unlocking the
front door in broad day light, and stole
$500 which was hidden in a tumbler
in a closet. This was money received
from the sale of War Cries.
A few days ago somebody stole $19
from a pocketbook left by Mrs. John
H. Wood in a handbag hanging in the
hat rack In her front hall. Another
burglar entered the house of Fillmore
A. Pearsons in daylight, took his best
overcoat from the hall rack, put 1t on
and calmly walked out in safety. Some
of the neighbors saw the man leave the
house but did not know he was thief.
Mrs. Pearsons was in the house at the
time

DINNER FOR LETTER CARRIERS
Windham County Rural Route Men
Hold Annual Meeting.

Brattleboro, Jan. 2.-The Windham
County association of Rural Letter
Carriers held its annual meeting here
yesterday afternoon and after enjoying
complimentary dinner by Postmas-
ter II. Il. Taylor at Halls restaurant,
the association elected officers in the
town hall building.
After the business meeting Colonel
Taylor made short address in which
he mentioned the advantage which rur-
al routes are to a community and in
which he expressed his disapproval of
the custom of rural patrons in asking
the carriers to purchase stamps for
letters, which, with the necessary pen
MES, are deposited in the rural letter
boxes. Other carriers are not allowed
to accept pennies and exchange them
for stamps, and Colonel Taylor ex-
pressed the hope that the government
would take similar action with respect
to rural carriers.

SHIRT WAISTS FOR
WINTER DISPLAYED
Materials of Which Gar
mentS Are Made.

New York, Sept 24.-Enter the
winter shirtwaist! 1t seems rather
early for it, to be sure, but here it
is, in the shop windows. And the
clever needle woman who makes her
own everyday blouses looks about
her and notices already-for it is
time to begin the fall sewing-the
tendencies of the autumn and winter
styles.
1t looks as though the thin white
blouse will not have everything its
own way this next season, although
its place will not be disputed. 1t
will be impossible for the many to
wear the blouses of such sheer ma
terials as the summer has brought
out.
Net and silk null, Swiss and chif-
fon were all adopted either because
of fashion or the heat, but they were
the preferred garment. The thick
blouse of linen, heavy muslin and
china silk were conspicuous by then
absence.
These new shirtwaists are made of
the silkiest summer flannel that has
yet appeared on the counters. White
or buff is the usual foundation, but

pale gray and dull blue are popu-
lar
1t is the fashion to get the founda-
ton color of these shirtwaists to
match the suit, and as gray, brown
and blue are all widely worn, it is
easy to get the flannel to match.
The waists are made with tiny
plaits from shoulder to waist for
figures that can stand these straight
lines. Others have fine tucks from
shoulder to collarbone and the slight
fullness is pulled into a belt at the
waist.
None of them are buttoned down
the back. They all fasten in front.
Sometimes the buttons show, and
again they are covered by a, plat
which may be embroidered with SOU
tache or finished at one side with a
silk null plating of the same color.
A point to remember is when a
front plating is used, it must be on
the left side and not duplicated on
the right. 1t may be double or single
and its edges are bound with a bit
of ribbon to watch
The sleeves of these waists are
long and with only few tucks or
plaitings down the back. The turn
over cuff is only two inches wide, and
is fastened at the back with q link
button. Turnover collars instead of
stocks are worn. While white ones
are used, there is a new fashion in
heavy linen ones to match the color
of the shirtwaist.
The cravat can be of any brilliant
coloring.

A New Blue.

A beautiful shade of blue is being
exploited in millinery. 1t is a very
dark dye of Beauvals, but there is
much more black to the present
shade "Dusky blue" might best
characterize it, and yet there is great
indication of the smoke color, too.
The tone is universally becoming
and seems to go with anything. In

Is adorable. To render the hats
more soft in tone the milliners are

same shade of felt or silk. The
blue is most striking in mousseline.
