question of changing the form of gov
ernment to city came up.
This is merely a formality as the
count, which has already been made,
indicates that the proposition to adopt
this city form of government was lost.

of the manner in which the ballots
were worded.
1t is understood that within thirty

another special election to determine
the question as to whether or not the
people want the change.

THE HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The custom of celebrating the
, first day of the new year is
, very ancient one, though the
date of the New Years day diff
} fers among the nations. Among
the majority, there was always
feastinas and gift-givine aud VA
rious merry-makings. The prac-
, tice of ringing In the New Year
} with a peal of bells at mid
night comes from a very ancient
} custom of northern Europe. The
, calendar used by Christian ma
, tions is a revision of that of the
old Romans. The Roman year
began with the month next fol-
lowing the winter sOistice, while
the nations of northern Europe
, opened the rear with the winter
, service. In early Christian times,
the date varied, but was finally
, fixed in the sixteenth century.

In this charming little bridge
frock, velvet is used with Persian
satin in rich autumn leaf shades;
the velvet being in a bronze tone
that forms a soft harmony with the
reds, browns and orange tints in
the Persian pattern.
The notion of having top and bot
tom of the frock velvet, with tu-
mic of contrasting material, is typi-
cal of this winters fashion.
The bronze velvet upper bodice is
cut out at the neck to show a little
yoke of cream net; cream net cuffs
finish the sleeves.
Buttons of the bronze velvet add
a smart trimming touch.
The hat is OF brown velvet
swathed with bronze chiffon over
gold tissue.
