A Foldinu Hat Box,

With the monstrous hats now in
vogue it is necessary for each to have
it's Individual hat box, so clever people
have made boxes that may be folded
UP and laid away in the bottom of he
trunk They are covered with Gre
tonne or brocade, and are every bit as
attractive as they sound. OF course
the lid and the bottom of the box can
not be folded, but the sides may all be
laid together with the result that the
bcx, when arranged for travelling, is
only an inch and half high.
Almost every one packs her hats in
the regular hat trunks, but, once ar
rived the larger affair may be re!e-
gated to the trunkroom and the
numerous chapeaus each placed in its
own special box.

COUNSEL RETAINED
BY Mrs. Vina Tourtelotte, Accused OF
Arson at Northport.

Belfast, Me-, Dec. 30.-(SpeciaD. -
Forest J. Martin of Bangor and Arthur
Richie have been retained by Mrs.
Fina Tourtelotte as counsel in her
casc which will come up at the jan
uary term. There is not much doubt in
the minds of the people in this vicinity
that Mrs. Tourtelottc will be indicted
by the grand jury. but whether she
will be convicted or not is another
question. She and her counsel seem
quite confident of acquittal or disa-
greement at least, while others believe
that the state has clear case against
her and that she will be convicted. AS
she is to be tried for setting fire to the
Charles Gray cottage in Northport
there is considerable interest in her
case inasmuch as several thousand
dollars worth of property was burned
in addition to the Gray cottage.
