For Two Franchises.

The Owosso & Corunna Electric
Company has never been source of
pride to the two cities which 1t con-
meets. Since it's start, the company
has not been financed as 1t should be.
lt has been a losing venture, sink
hole into which thousands of dollars
have been dumped every year to no
avail.
Everybody knows what IL has been
this winter. One car, land freqa-
emily there has been no service at
all,) has limped up and down the
line. Frequently the one car runs
on the track. The power furnished
for the car as we'll as for private
power-users and for street and pri-
vate lighting, has been feeble 1t
times because of poor and wornout
equipment. Things have been stead
lily getting wsrse.
Well. If the Lansing & North
eastern railway and the Common
wealth Power company are granted
franchises to enter this city at the
special election March 2, next,--a
week from Wednesday,-our power
and light and transportation troubles
will be over. The sale of the O. &
G. Il. to the incoming companies has
been agreed upon and the papers
drawn. New rolling stock and ample
light and power will be guaranteed,
with at least half-hourly, and posi-
bly, twenty minute, service TO Co
.runna, and fifteen minute service
from the corner of Main and Wash
ington streets to the Michigan Cen
trail depot.
But-there is string attached.
The companies do not want the loo

they can operate in this city. AS

power at reasonable rates, a thriving
city like Owosso would be benefited

GETS THE FAT MAN GOING
Causes Dangerous Strain
on Belt.

Many vain tears are wasted upon, the
fat man. He is supposed to suffer from
an appalling shortness of breath, and his
florid complexion is ascribed to painful dis
orders of the circulation. The cartoonists
picture him as being reduced to a sort Of
oily lava in summer and as coming down
upon the ice in winter with sickening
thuds and to the accompaniment Of world
wide seismic disturbances. In plays he is
always the target of slapstick and %seltzsr
siphon, but a note of pity appears in every
laugh he raises. People are sincerely
sorry for him and are prone to dwell, with
maudlin sentimentality, upon the fact that
no sane woman ever falls in love with a
fat man.
Squandered sympathy! Wasted tears!
The fat man, far from asking for them,
cannot even understand them. To him the
most beautiful thing is nature-the one
thing, indeed, that c~onvinces him Of the
essential benignity of the cosmic process
is that fact that he is fat. The fatter he
gets the happier he grows. With every in
crease in his diameter there comes an &C
cess OF comfort. of ease, of geniality, of
contentment. Forced by a kind nature to

snores in the safe and sane key Of C major.
Excused, by public opinion, from all sar-
torial display, he is able to clothe himself
In loose and comfortable garments. A
happy man, taking his ease in his inn!
The fact that sentimental women abhor
the man of bulk is not a curse laid upon
him, but a stroke Of good fortune. As he
fares through the world, radiating Joy like
some soothing emanation. his footsteps are
not logged by matchmaking mammas and
debutantes of prehistoric v~lntages. No one
lures him into dlm-lit parlors. No one
would think OF inviting him to sit in a
hammock or to row a boat. He is not a
dancing man; he does not excel at tennis;
long walks down Lovers Lane fatigue his
feet. 50 the girls leave him to his exqui-
site reverles and sublime CONCENTRATIONS,
and he goes through life unlimited, I'M

etc, as well. and are sometimes used IN
combinations as unusual as they are at
tractive. A little frock illustrated here,
for example, struck a note of most eff
fectiye and chic simplicity, and yet 1t
sounds odd, in the telling.
1t was a supple white satin yelled in
dark blue chiffon. a dark blue not so deep
as a navy, more. perhaps. on the tone of
the very deepest corn flower blue. The
plain, clinging skirt Of white satin rip
pied slightly toward the bottom and over
It was hung a softly fulled tunie of the
blue chiffon. falling apart in front to show
the white skirt very slightly up to the
waist line. This tunic was simply hemmed
and absolutely untrinmed.
The bodice was yelled in chiffon and con-
summately simple in line, A fichu drapery
of the blue chiffon dropped low over the
shoulders and the top OF close fitting short
lace sleeves and there was a narrow line OF
lace bordering the fichu next the neck and
lace filling in a part OF the low v. The

smoothly over satin and into It was tucked
a big bunch of periwinkles whose blue gave
just the needed color touch to stamp the

cries and fulness toward the bottom of the
frock has given rise to many effects abb
surd and ugly, but the idea is. sometimes
gracefully developed, as in the tunic of the
frock whose underskirt and bodice are of
exquisitely embroidered tulle.
Another clever drapery is seen in the
white mousseline de sole drapery, bordered
by silver tissu and open at the side to
show an underskirt Of white meteore. Tulle
embroidered in silver and stress, encrusted
with Venise and laid over rose color tulle,
forms the bodice.

deep band of pale rose satin. The plain
guimpe is Of rose tulle with ends of rose
ribbon. Lace bands trim the moussellne.
Lace is to be enormously in demand, es-
pecially in the light, easily draped varie-
-ties-Chantilly, Sievre and the fancy net
top kinds. The heavier laces too, such as
Irish and Venise. are used in great quanti-
ties, but it is in the, wholesale demand for
fine, soft laces that a new note is struck
and the lace manufacturers are rejoicing.

The little square Dutch neck opening is
often attractive and allows scope for

The Russian ideas continue to multiply,
but we have already sounded a note Of
warning in this regard, and the %vlrulence
of the fad certainly suggests its short life
among the fastidiously fashionable. Never
theless, there are delectable things shown
among the Russian modes, and the fad
has led to a renaissance of military ideas
which should be welcomed by the youth
full.
Aside from some military braiding and
frogging, however, the tendency in tailored
costumes is rather toward the plain than
toward the ornate One sees less braiding

Where soutache or rat-tail designs are
introduced upon imported models they
seem inclined TO appear in unexpected
places, as, for example, a band around
the coat button, and the design is more
often angularly geometrio than flowing
and full of curves. A coarse wool EN-
broidery. almost or entirely covering the
surface upon which it is worked is one
of the novelties, but as far as we have
been able to judge gives results more novel
than beautiful or practical.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The grounding
having beyond doubt seen his shadow and
returned 10 his hole for another long win
ter nap, women should really resign them
selves to discussion of cold weather
frocks. but spring is in the air II not in
the temperature, and February has
brought out an unusual supply Of spring
models as well as the usual change Of
new materials.
How can one talk Of velvets and cloths
and furs when cottons and linens and
teUlards and pongees and summer mil
iinery are blossoming in all the shops.
Even the women who are not ready to
buy the new season materials and decide
upon spring models want to talk about
them and have lost interest in winter
wrapplngs. The season is over and what
ever that disgruntled grounding may de-
clare ii is time to take an interest in
spring and summer chiffons.
Easter Is so early this year that Easter
brides must needs trust more or less to
prophecy and diyination in planning their
trousseaus, but trousseaus nowadays are
not so complete as they once were, and
II is easy enough to prepare for spring
needs and ordinary summer purposes,
while a little later one may supplement
the outfit by a frock or two ordered after
choicest efforts and fashionable woman
kind has passed upon them.
Pongees, foulards, linens and cotton5

are all rated as strictly summer fabrics,
but they are all of the p~erennially useful
sort and one may safely order from among
them, while there are scores of materials
even more sheer which belong quite as
much 70 spring as to summer-7the thin
voiles, chiffon cloths and Examines, for
example-and are indeed practical for all
seasons.
The prospective bride who must econo7
mize and consider future contingencies
as well as present needs viii do well to
select her smartest> ana most elaborate
frocks from among the all. seasons class,
of materials. The summer fabrics will
be alluring, and Of course she viii. need a.

but these may be the simple sort with
out falling of smartness and need not be
fashioned from expensive materials in
order to be chic and attractive.
Only a few days ago a last Casters bride
was lamenting her shortsightedness and
holding herself up as a horrible example
for the warning Of a girl friend who is
now wrestling with the trousseau problem.
Il had lovely things" she said. and l
spent a lot of money, much more than
my father could really afford, I'm afraid,
but l made such mistakes.
You see, 1 didn't look beyond the sum
mer at all and the things / really put the
most money into were stunning pongee and
some elaborate lingerie frocks and a couple
Of good looking foulards. They were aw-
fully satisfactory, but we went TO places

my handsome frocks. the ones ordered
from expensive makers, all the year round

or wolfe or crepe or something of that
kind and then ia get a lot OF simple little

during the summer. They look just as
well for all ordinary summer purposes and

Now. there spoke the voice of wisdom
and experience. OF course the girl who
can afford TO a what she wants will
revel in summer chiffons without taking
thought for anything beyond. but for one
bride OF this class there are fifty who
must countNcosts carefully and they win
do well to take this chapter on materials
under consideration.
And yet those summer silks are so
charming that 1t will be hard for any one
TO pass them by and the average woman
viii compromise upon choosing them for
single frocks.
The pongees are apparently to be cpl

pretty for spring wear, though most Of
these materials, like a majority of the
rough surface imported stuffs, will seem
rather too warm for midsummer use by
those who are not fortunate enough to
spend their MINERS i'm a cool climate.
TIL hopsacking weave appears in a wide
range of attractive colorings and is not
