further up the store are dress silks, veil

THE LEGISLATURE YESTERDAY.

Montpelier Dec. $.
No attempt was made today To recon-
slider the adverse vote of the Senate on
the proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton, which would abolish the time lock
Various conferences were held lookingSto
such action. and one of the Senators who
voted against the proposal would have
moved a reconsideration. but a careful
count showed that "A two-thirds vote
could not be secured after rcCouSdera-
ton and the matter was allowed to drop
temporarily. 1t is expected that another
proposal will be made to permit pro-
posals of amendment at either four or
six year terms instead of ten years as
at present
Another amendment was proposed this
afternoon by. Gordon of Washington.

INTERESTING CHRISTMAS STORY
The Gifts This Season Show a Large Growth in
True Beauty and Practical Worth

The country has made a long step ahead
in the artistic quality and practical beau
ty and good sense of it's Christmas gifts.
There are pretty trihes in great abund-
ance, but of downright trash" to use
a good old New England term, there is
very much less than there has been for
years. There is more permanent, lasting
beauty. We have come to realize that
there Is even a superior beauty in many
fabrics and metals, wood and leather. in
which we formerly saw no beauty what
ever. Many of the new fabrics and or
naments shown this year are of love-
Illness that sticks In your mind, you can
not forget how beautiful they are. You
want to possess them, simply for their
beauty.
We have recently been through Stei-
gers store in Springfield, which is per-
haps one of the most representative stores
in New England, in all that Is good in
quality and design. We began at the top
in the daintlest baby room" which can
be imagined and of which we give
picture which tells the story. The room
is full of soft, fluffy, warm. beautiful
things which every baby must have, and
which every mother in the world, to-
gether with all its sisters, cousins and
aunts, grandparents and all of its friends
want to give It, on the same floor are
children's clothes warm, bright and pref
ty in great abundance, occupying a whole

mothers and little folks may be seen in
crowds
on the third floor the milliners have
many beautiful hats from which gifts will
be selected as in years past The beaver,
in hats for young people, is one of the
NOSE beautiful fabrics ever made, just
the fabric that nature makes for her own
children who live out in the snow. the
rabbits and other little animals soft
fluffy and warm.
on the second floor Is the wide suit and
fur department, and Christmas shoppers
are looking over the fine furs with eager
interest. 1t seems as If each season gar
ments and furs were far more beautiful
than anything that precedes. 1t is a de-
partment which takes on the Christmas
decoration and atmosphere in a fine way

THE PROPER FOOD FOR POULTRY

with all the diversified beliefs as to
the proper died for fowls to induce the
greatest egg production, 1t is almost uni
versally conceded that some meat or
animal food Is needed. For this purpose
the handest and most satisfactory ar

of poultry as the best food on the market
for laying hens. We have already placed
