flowing backward and foreward in

farmers that supply the material
There is nothing from which a farmer
is more certain of a steady income
than few good milch COWS. and the
husbandmen of the valley and hill
lands have commenced to realize this
fact. 1t is an industry that is bound
to grow until it becomes one of the
most important sources of revenue
for those engaged in it that can be
set on foot in the county.

The police authorities Of Far Rock
away are puzzled by an odd comet
dence and are now trying to figure
out the possible connection between
the coinciding events. When Mr..
Butler, a wealthy cloak manufacturer
residing in Far Rockaway, came down
to breakfast the other morning he
missed his butler. When Mrs. Butler
appeared at the breakfast table a
few minutes later she informed Mr..
Butler that her jewelry, worth about
$4,000, had disappeared during the
night from the dresser in her bed
room. AS neither Mr. Buffers butler
nor Mrs. Buffers jewelry could be
found anywhere, Mr.. Butler called up
the police station and informed the
official in charge of the strange coin
cidence in the disappearance of but
Ter and iewelry. After mature delib-
Grafton the police officials have come
to the conclusion that the possibility

One sees quite as many short
sleeves as very long ones; in fact, the
three-quarter length is a good adve-
age. The long bishop sleeves of chif-
fon in blouse of black velvet, worn
recently for a luncheon at one of the
large hotels, displayed very clearly the
charm of this style of sleeve. Other
long sleeves fit the arm more closely
and extend well over the hand;
sometimes they are held in at the
wrist by band of black velvet rib
bon drawn through a slide of jewels.
The particular bright color note
this winter is sulphur, and it is shown
on many of the newest blouses. On a
charming little net model it appeared
in the picot-edged ribbon vestee and
on the collar and cuffs On another
blouse it was used combined with
black in the crushed girdle. This gir-
die finish is a new one this wiuter,
and is carried out in velours, velvet or
ribbon, and generally in two colors.
Burgundy and old gold, old gold and
green, and blue and old gold are,
perhaps, the favorite color combina-
tions. Over this girdle the waist

this winters waist lies in its general

New York, December 8.-The new
cline" or silhouette is still in the
making and heaven only knows what
it is going to be- Judging from some
of the extreme advance models" dis
played by noted fashion designers in
Paris and elsewhere the coming style
promises to be a sort of cross between
Oriental trousers and ballet skirt.
However, a great many things may
happen before the new style crystal
lizes into definite form. Some OF the
best Partisan dressmakers are intro
ducing a curious combination of pan
niers and tunics, the panniers being
rather flat and the tunics distinctly
Persian in outline.
This style was exploited with con
siderable success in a dinner gown Of
orange colored charmeuse which was
shown by one of the exclusive de-
signers recently. On the draped fronts
of this skirt there were some fine Jap
anese embroiderfes, and the short,
rather flat, panniers were carried out
in dull blue chiffon Of the exact shade
of the most prominent designs on
The skirt. Then there was Persian
tunic of diamante tulle, fringed with
crystal and folded corsage of oyster
white tulle, mounted over flesh pink
chiffon. There were diamond shoul-
der straps and broad sash of black
crepe de chine embroidered in cut jet
and finished off with jet fringes. At
the waist, directly in front, there was
one of the new conventional flowers
which are made of velvet or plush.
The flower was in velvet of the deep
est shade of blue, and for heart it
had huge diamond button.
One of the newest and most sue
oessful materials for afternoon wear is
''drap de neige' This lovely cloth
is, as it's name suggests, pure white.
In texture it resembles duvetyn, but
it is even softer and more supple than
this famous material. Drap de neige
is being largely used by one of the
most exclusive tailors in Paris He
is making it up into ideal walking
and skating suits for girls, and he is
trimming If with hands of white fox
and also with Siberian fox The lat
ter combination is wonderfully effec-
tive for this fox is lemon yellow in
color and the Innings of coats and
wraps are made to match. There
is no more satisfying combination of
color than lemon yellow and ivory or
oyster white With clever touch of
some deep vivid color in the hat a
perfect ensemble is obtained
Another new material is vel
vet chiffon. This stuff is heavier
than mousseline de velours and very
much more durable. 1t is being made
in all the rich shades of claret and
red which are now so fashionable,
and in the purple known as violet
de Monseigneur' it is Of rare beauty
Taffeta combined with velvet is a
well liked combination for bridge
gowns The taffeta usually appears
in the flounces or tllnic of the skirt,

FASHIONS

and again as collar and trimming on
the bodice. Promet, one of the noted
Paris designers, delights in black taf-
feta for the bustle-like drapery on his
velvet costumes, but if the gown is to
be worn for bridge, where the wearer
must necessarily be seated for some
time, these elaborate back drapings
are not practical.
Second in demand to velvet at the
present time is duyetyn, the all-silk
fabric which has proved more popular
and wearable than the silk and wool
combinations BY way of variety two
new duvetyns have been introduced
by the Greater Of the original fabric,
a striped effect resembling corduroy
and brocaded design The plain duve-
tyn combined with either of these
makes an interesting gown. Though
there is sufficient body in the all-silk
duyetyn to make it an ideal material
for the three-piece street costume, yet
it is not too warm for an interior
frock, especially when it is combined
with chiffon or some other thin mate
rial.
In fact, many of the velvet dress
es, as well as the duvetyn gowns, dis
play the popular transparent bodice
of chiffon A stunning frock of taupe
colored duvetyn had bodice in the
self tone embroidered in gold thread
and an apron effect on the skirt of
the duvetyn more richly embroider-
ed in the gold thread The contrast
ing color was introduced in the sash,
a brocaded affair in which green and
blue and purple and yellow were mar
velously blended Effective as this
splash of color was, it was the chif-
fon bodice that made the frock com
Portable.
The demand for comfortable bodices
for interior wear is also answered by
the sleeveless bolero waist. The bo-
lero may match a skirt of velvet, or
even a woolen fabric, but the sleeevs
of chiffon, or a thin silk, make the
gown wearable and comfortable in a
steam-heated apartment.
The increasing interest displayed in
the three-piece costumes and in the
jacket dresses has brought about a
corresponding revival of interest in
the blouse. For blouse displaying a
feature like the bolero makes the
combination of skirt and shirt waist
look remarkably like one of the pop
ular Jacket dresses, and the shops are
beginning to sell blouses of heavy ma
terials, like velvet, in various colors.
Heretofore there has been practically
no sale, except in a few speciality
shops, for blouse that was not of
the lingerie order, or of crepe de chine
or taffeta. This winter women have
discovered that a very presentable
three-piece costume can be evolved by
matching the skirt with a velvet
blouse.
The basque blouse has serious
rival in the bolero waist, which is the
favored mode of the hour. 1t makes
little difference how the bolero lines
are produced so long as the effect is

that there were not enough flagstaffs

as it would have been a serious

concern in the city and the business
department of the Metropolitan opera

dealing with the public. While pre-
tending to carry on a vigorous war
fare against ticket scalpers to pro
tect the interests Of the theater-going
public, and using the most spectacu-

STRAY TOPICS FROM ). ). y
= y LITTLE OLD NEW YORK

New York, Dec. S.New York city
is quite an old town considering the
comparative youth Of the country S
civilization, but it has grown with the
astonishing speed of a mushrooms
growth and owing to the lack Of
space it was necessary to remove
everything old before it could be re-
placed with something new and bet
ter adapted to the new conditions.
Until few years ago but little at
tention was paid to historical asso-
Citations connected with certain To-
calities or structures, but in recent
years there has been considerable in
terest manifested in historical asso-
Citations and il New York city con-
tinues in this policy the city will
soon rival Boston, where nearly every
other building in the central part Of
the city is marked with tablet
The other day tablet in men,
ory of Thomas Willett, first mayor
of New York, was presented to the
city, to be placed in the city hall.
The committee which presented the
tablet, had been appointed by Mayor
Gaynor short time before his un-
timely death. For many months the
committee made a thorouph search
of old archives, Libraries and histoTd-
cal collections in the hope of finding
a portrait of New York's first mayor
but it seems that in 1864, when Thorn
as Willett was appointed first mayor
of New York by Governor Richard
Nichols, under a patent granted by
James, duke of York, neither the
newspapers nor the photographers
were on their jobs. In fact, the com
mittee came to the conclusion that
there were neither newspapers nor
photographers in New York at that
time. At all events, it is impossible
for the committee to find thing that
could be taken for a portrait of the
city's first mayor and the result was
that the tablet only bears legend
stating the fact that Thomas Willett
was the first mayor and giving the
date of his appointment.
