AVOID EXTREMES

Short women should not wear i'm

slluring in line and decoration. wom-
an in the small class cannot possibly
wear with any distinction large Gains

mirror will show to what extent the

Extremes OF fashion are never In good

visibility OF selecting flowers that will

perish in the first spring storm must be

Never economize by making one hat

shape TOR dressy occasions. for the con-
tinuous wear will soon render 1T shabby
for both. The first double expense Is
better economy in the end.
When considering the hat. do not for

ridiculous by an inappropriate combina-
ton: and there is the promise OF added
beauty TO both il the guiding stars be
conservatism. a knowledge OF good
points and little defects. and the eternal

NEGLECT OF OUR MOUNTAINS.

We are glad to note the efforts
which are now being made by the
Mansfield section of the Green Noun
tain club to arouse new interest in
our mountains and PARTICULARLY in
Mount Mansfield. AS we have hitherto
held. the people of Vermont have made
far too little of their mountains. In
point Of fact Mansfield. Cancels Hump
and Killington have been shamefully
neglected. Each Of those grand heights
ought now to he the ccnter of tourist
travel for thousands of people, whereas
only few hundred visit them.
The following news item shows how
few people have visited Cancels
Hump for example:
"since the camp at the summit Of
Cancels Hump was established last
spring $50 people have registered there.
Thirty people were on the sum-
NIT last Saturday night. The
number Of visitors is heavier dur
ing the latter part of the season, when
the cooler nights clear the atmosphere
of smoke and the falling leaves open
up great deal of the view"
In commenting on this item the
Rutland News speaks as follows: II
the rather inaccessible Cancels Hump
cnn draw nearly 400 people In a sea-
son it Is cafe to say that Mount XII
lington. which Is much more easily
reached and commands just as fine a
view, would be visited by twice that
number or people during the touria,
season were somo sort of comfort
able shelter maintained at its summit.
Ninety per cont. of tho people who
climb Ki,lington naturally start from
Rutland and this city Is bound to be
benefited by visits from such tour
lists"
Tho Green Mountain club are puttinr
forth efforts which promise to revolu-
tionize this condition OF neglect Of our
mountains. They are not only con-
sidcring various means OF arousing
general interest in our chief noun
tains but they arc also taking steps
to facilitate travel to our mountain
tops. In time their combined efforts
will unquestionably result in the pro-
vision OF means Of ready transit to the
foot NJ tho mountoina HIoctri, -. oth
erwise. In these efforts the members
of the club deserve the hearty cooper
alton OF all public spirited citizens,
and particularly those OF the towns

AUTUMN TOURISTS ron VERMONT.

II.
We referred a few days ago to the
excellent work of the Central Vermont
railways passenger department in
cooperation with the New Haven rail
way passenger service in advertising
the autumnal beauties of Vermont's
hills and valleys. 1t is gratifying to
note that these railway lines are now
repeating the undertaking which has
evidently passed beyond the expert
mental stage. They are now adver-
Using in greater New York and some
other cities the annual autumn excur-
to enable tho people of New York
BROOKLYN and large cities in Connccti-
cut to come TO this region during the
balance of September and tho fore
part Of October when the autumnal
t!nts on our hlllsdcs and in our val
leys will be most brilliant and beau
tiful. Tickets have been made good
going during the period extending
from September Is to october c, in
elusive. and will be good returning un-
til October 81.
IT is also gratifying to note that a
number Of hotels and hoardirr houses
in Vermont have co-opcrated in this
commendable movement by giving re-
cursion tickets. Cards containing de.
tails have been furnished in large
numbers TO hotels and boarding house
to be mailed to former guests and
thousands have been sent direct from
tho headquarters of the railroads.
The tourist business to Vermont and
Lake Champlain resorts has been
larger this season than ever before
we are glad to say, ana there is every
reason to expect that 1t will go on
increasing every season. as the attrac-
lions of this whole region become bet
ter and more widely known.
Some of the people of Vermont have
littlc idea of the marked benefit which
our state derives from the annual So
iourn of tourists ana summer resi-
dents. Colonel Ilsley. who has done
so much to promote the development
of Middlebury and Addison county's
agricultural interests through the Ad-
Olson county fair, came into Vermont
as a summer visitor but he was so
captivated by the beauties of our
green hills that he became perma =
nont resident and. we may add, q per-
manent benefactor of our people, for
the whole state has proflted from his
splendid service. Colonel Ilsley is only
one among many who might be named
In this connection, but it is evident
from what has already been said that
we should ondeavor in every way to
attract visitors to Vermont.
