Concerning Suits.


Skirts are being made slightly fuller
than they were in the early part of the
season. but they are still cut with the
long slim lines which will prevail dur
ing the fall season.
The popularity of the panel back
and front still holds. The newest
skirts have plaits inset at the sides to
give the desired fullness.
The raised waistline with an inside
belt to keep it firmly in place is fea-
ture on the modish models.
Separate skirts are strictly tailored.
and those that do not show the panel
effect are either cut perfectly plain,
trimmed only with stitching or have
a simulated tunic effect obtained by
the use of bias bands.

TO KEEP THE SKIN CLEAR

For more than generation, Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment have
done more for pimples, blackheads
and other unsightly conditions of the
complexion, red, rough, chapped
hands, dandruff, itching, scaly scalps,
and dry, thin and falling hair than any
other method. They do even more for
skin-tortured and disfigured infants
and children. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers throughout the world, a
liberal sample of each, with 32-page
book on the care of the skin and hair
will be sent post-free, on application
to "Cuticura," Dept. % L, Boston.

To Make Ruttonholes.

We have ali been troubled in max
ing buttonholes in thin materials. Here
is a way of overcoming the difficulty.
Hold a piece of the material on the
under side and cut the hole through
this as though it were part of the
waist.
After you have finished working the
buttonhole, cut away the under cloth
very carefully. so that it will not
show. You will have no difficulty even
with chiffon, If you fold the cloth two
or three times.

quated accumulation of wood used for
the main highway crossing over the Jail
branch on South Main street. The day
Of the covered wooden bridge is gone.
Most of all it is gone for a thoroughfare
that is as much travelled as is South
Main street. Moreover, the present plae-
ing of the bridge with its closed sides
makes the approaches particularly hazard
Gus, as was noted the other day, when
a pedestrian got in the way of an auto
mobile and was saved from injury only
by the quickness of the operator Of the
machine. The approach from either end
of the bridge at the present time is at
such an angle that the other end is COM
pletely hidden until one reaches point
inside the bridge itself; and then it is
often too late to avert collision. The
structure, to-, is rather Enthusiastically
at its best, which is when the props are
placed under the middle and extending
down to the river bed
Therefore, in view Of these conditions
it would seem best to replace the wooden
building with a modern iron structure
next spring or early summer. The auto
mobile traffic over this route, it being
the direct line of connection between
Burlington and White River Junction, is
very large; and by another year it viii
be still greater. To remove as much OF
the danger as possible and to provide a
safe sidewalk for pedestrians, new
bridge is absolutely necessary. In max
ing up the appropriations another year
this new iron bridge ought to be reckonei
in, as no doubt it win be.

Apples and the Boy on the Farm.

The Vermont apple show held at
Montpelier, last week was of practical
value to every farmer and fruit grower
who took advantage of an opportunity
To inspect the exhibit.
This exhibit was one of the finest
and most attractive ever held in Yer
mont and when one considers the limit
ed appropriation made for such exhibits
by the state, the energy of those having
the matter in charge is to be commend
ed.
It is worth while to note the fact
that at the recent New England fruit
show in Boston against sixty entries in
Northern Spies ''decadent' Vermont
walked off with. first. third and fifth
prizes. with fifty entries of Mcintosh
varieties Vermont captured first prize
and was again first in SpitzenbeTgs
plate exhibits, Vermont had the second
best box of Northern Spies, and second
in Greetings and third on barrel Of
Northern Spies
The fruit growers Of Vermont, and
the general farmer are beginning to sit
up and take notice OF the fact that
we have the soil and the climate for
raising the best apples in the world,
and with half the attendant labor of
the fruit ranches Of Oregon and Wash
ington and at considerably less expense,
we can produce apples right here in YER
mont, which can have no rivals as to
merehantable size, flavor and quality.
Get the apple culture bulletins from
the state and government agricultural
and horticultural departments and study
up the apple business this winter Help
your boy determine what the old or
chard needs to have done to IT, Help
him to start in the right direction,
then let him have what money he can

has stimulated other managers to Of
fer productions of a similar nature. but
none hns ever vet succeeded in produc-

The company this season is said to
be even stronger than when the play

well for capacity business. The prices
are in accordance With the times and so
reasonable that everyone can afford a

standard of excellence that characterizes
Fred Raymond's attractions.
