The Election.

We had ideal weather election day,
and a big vote was poIled. The check
list as originally posted contained 432

added and 8 dropped, making total of

sentative showed 39l votes cast, OF
which 7 we're defective, Charles ID.
Thurston, D.m., had l75, Oscar I. Davis

strong fight. Gov. Prouty headed the
state ticket with 212 votes, the others

coLoRs FADE AS YEARS FLY

Starting life as a butterfly child, gay and
brilliant, she becomes sadder and sadder with
each passing year." writer observes. The
colors fade and become dull, until by the time
she Is tull-grown woman they have sObered
down TO almost Quaker hues.
Directly she Is a wife, her one ambition Is
to become old; 1t is almost a craze with her. She
shows 1t IN every possible way-in the way she
ties her obi the fashion IN which she dresses her
hair; everything that suggests the advance of
the sere and yellow leaf she eagerly adopts"
As the Japanese woman grows older, not
only does she adopt sober colors in Dress but she
changes the mode of dressing her hair. At the
age of 13 she ties up her hal, and until she is
40 wears high and elaborate couture.
In her maidenhood and the early days of
her married life she employs haiTdresser, who
usually spends two hours IN arranging the black
tresses. To keep the large mass of heavy coils
IN place large pins used. The hair dressed
with oil and bandoline. to hold it IN place, and
because of the extreme laboc of dressing it IS
taken down only once week.
So as not to disarrange it, the women sleep
on sleeping block of carved wood, shaped to
fit the neck, instead of pillow.
Up to the age of % large pins and combs
of gold and tortoise shell are used. AT the age
of 80 white pins are adopted, merely spotted
with gold gliding, and at 40 plan shell or
wood is used. When she has reached 80 years
every woman cuts off her hair

TONE DOWN AT II

At the age of u and Is there is a coming Of
color. Many girls at this age wear dresses Of
pale gray or blue, marvelously embroidered, oft
en- with flowers or landscape views Others
wear a white fabric, printed with wreaths Of
bright flowers; or purple, pink and lavender fab
RIGS, decorated with harmonious flowers.
From the age of 13 to IS the sleeves Of the
kimonos are worn very long. usually measuring
three feet. As they get older. year by year. tie
young women shorten the sleeves until they are
but little longer than the arm at 10.
At about % subdued cloths of pink. purple
and bright brown are allowed, with embroideries
much less Eaudy than those worn before the age
f Is. After 25 however, bright color and deco
rations are relinquished forever, and striped
fabrics are adopted.
a visitor to Japan who sees a woman in 4
striped fabric of brown, blue CT lavender may
know she has passed %. This may be told def
nitely by the breadth of the stripes, which
row each year, until the age of 30, when an ex-
tremely narrow stripe is adopted
At this age japanese woman develops a
desire TO age quickly, and she makes her age con
spicuous, too. When she Is 80 the japanese W.
man affects a dark brown gray fabric. Per
haps the only spot of color may be monogram
in gold or embroidered silk on her slee7e near
her neck.
Should you meet one wearing a fabric Of
brown or blue IN a fine cross-plaid you may know
she is As At so she dofs this, and finally adopts
plain dark gray, very dark brown or black.
She no longer wears any colors.
The costume of the japanese women is not
SO complicated may suppose. There Is
but slight difference in the clothing Of women
from those worn by the men. An apron, or short
petticoat is worn beneath the kimono Some
times two petticoats As the weather
grows colder an extra kimOno Is adopted, and as
the temperature goes down extra kimonos are
added, 10 the number of six OF eight. An obi or
belt, Is wound about these.
To get married is the great ambition of
most young japanese girls. Perhaps II is TO lure
lover that such gay colors are affected. Any
way, after marriage the desirO to bedeok herself
II colors and ornaments wanes.

Z INTEREST has been aroused IN the costumes
OF JapaIese women by the recent dress re-
form which had its incepSioa at the Won
ans University. Toxic. At the request
of President Naruse, of the institution, Miss
Kara g. Smart, secretary of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, furnished de-
signs for a reformed dress" which combined
good points of both the Occidental and Japanese
costumes. 80 - .-----
OF course many of the fair ones of the
Flowery Kingdom held up their trembling little
hands in indignation and protest. Do away
with the charming style of dress which makes
the women so picturesque and which satisfies
the eys so perfectly with a harmonious display
of colori Miss Smart explained that it was not
necessary, or even practicable, to supplant the
graceful kimono. But she said this:
"The fact remains that the Japanese women
and girls are demanding, and most emphatic
ally. change in their attire. And this. change
Is bound to come sooner or later They have
asked to be helped IN making the desired change,
and it is for Us to give them something that
appeals to their common sense, that gives great
er freedom of notion in their ever-increasing
activity, that is becoming and also, to some ex-
tent, foreignized."
