BAR HARBOR, Me-, August -,


BAR HARBOR. Me-. August %, 1913.
A BIG percentage of the Bar Haroor
~ summer colony will leave for Lenox
after the completion of the present
season Among them will be the members
of the Austrian embassy who are sched-
uled to spend some weeks at the Massa-
chusetts resort after leaving Bar Harbor
They have taken a very prominent part in
the social life here this summer and will
be greatly missed.
One of the prettiest features Of the
horse show, and a rig that never fails to
attract attention, is the Russian team ex-
hibited by Miss Bowdoin, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George s. Bowdoin. Miss Bow
dom has a perfect model Of the teams
driven in the land of the car. including
a typical Russian carriage and a team
of perfectly matched gray horses. the
middle one pacing, while the others
are trotting. 1t is a novel vehicle. and
when rugged up in true Russian style,
with juggling harness, 1t Is sight that
never fails to attract attention.
With the horse show. the hospital en-
tertainment and the last of the big public
functions over, Bar Harbor would seem
to have little to chronicle. The past week.
however. has been the time, the place
and yes. the girl or rather lots of them.
were present, too-for a number of nota-
BILE little entertainments. 1t has been a
week in which eating figured most promi-
nently, for the main happenings of the
week have been dinners and lunches, lots
of them.
With the horse show a week or more
earlier than usual. everybody looked for
break in both cottage and hotel colony
to occur as soon as the last bugle call
had sounded at Robin Hood Park. This
was by no means the case, however, and
there will be no perceptible departures
from the ranks Of the cOttagers till early
in September. and not many then. The
hotels will see the tide setting the other
way, however, within few days, but
thus far the season shows no signs of let
ting up.

THE LAW AND CLOTHES.
Yards Of Cloth in a Dukes Suit
Girls and Corsets.

d1rlS anu CorSeCS.
From the London Answers.
''Sumptuary" laws-that is, laws about
clothes-have been unknown in this coun-
try for many years. Some of these old
acts were very curious. In the reign OF
Henry VII it was enacted that a duke
should not be allowed more than sixteen
yards of cloth to make a suit. while q
knight had to be content with six and
commoners with an even less amount, ir-
respective of individual bulk.
In 1854 another law forbade all below
the rank Of aldermen to wear silk upon
their hats, under a penalty Of E1U
Charles TX OF France was even bold
enough to interfere with the attire of the
women Of his realm. In 1861 he forbade
the ladies to use any bands of embroid-
cry. stitchings or fixings of silk. except
ing only a bordering the width Of a fin
ger. or at the most two borderings with
chain stitchings''
But the French king of three and a
half centuries ago was after all not so
rash as the Rounanian minister Of public
instruction. who recently issued an order
forbidding the use Of corsets by any of
the girls attending the Roumanian gov
eminent schools. The head mistresses
were made responsible for the carrying
been all that the minister fondly hoped.
The girls have set the edict at defiance.
and they are, 1t is said, secretly backed
up by most Of their teachers.
In most countries there are laws for
bidding women to go abroad In the
streets attIred in mems garments. At
Ems and one or two other German health
resorts the municipal authorities have
been wa9ing war against long skirts and
dresses with trains. The idea il that
such garments sweep up dust and collect
microbes. But, like all others who have
attempted to interfere with the vagaries
Of feminine fashion. these city fathers
have found their task thankless and not

1.-THE Good Old Times

From the Philadelphia Ledger A.
The centenarian of Pennsburg, Pa, is
no doubt a remarkable man. He has al
ways eaten heartily Of good, plain food, -
he has always used tobacco, he is vigor-
Gus In mind and body, and he always be-
lieved that six hours sleep was enough
The venerable Daniel. however. exhibits
some eccentricities and whimsicalities. II
were marvellous IL he did not. man who
reaches the age Of 100 years. by hook
or by crook. is entitled to be irascible
gloomy. obstinate. peevish or perverse.
Mr.. Miller does not appear to be afflicted
in these directions. His popularity takes
the form of declaring it to be his firm
opinion that the world Is great deal
worse than 1t was when he was a boy
in fact, quite shocking.
1t is one of the characteristics Of the
old age that has been bounded by a mar
row horizon and hampered by strictly
limited and circumscribed interests and
views to regard the old time the best.
The absurdity Of the natural mistake is
brought into great clarity by considering
for moment that a certain number Of
aged men in all ages have held exactly
the same opinion. For instance. when
the people of England were practically
or villeins went with the SOIL the
croaking old fellows of that particular
day believed that the old time was the
best. Though they were In evil plight,
they were not in such evil case as their
forbears, who were the playthings of a
still more brutal and cruel age. when the
marauders. domestic and foreign, shot
common men down upon the highway al
most in sport. or carried them away to
foreign wars when the caprice seized
And, finally when England had won self
government and the people had been
emancipated. the old fellows who were
then living In the dawn of liberty believed
that their miserable forbears were the for
tunate men
