amount of its valuation. This court
would be. established at one side of
the county. / will say that there is
| not a city in our whole county. The
town of Edgecomb in 1850 had pop

we have less than 600. The villages
of Wiscasset, Damariscotta and Wal
doboro are the three largest villages
in the county In years past there
was a considerable business in ship
building and in connection with the
mills but you all know that is gone
now, and as i say we are decreasing
in population; we are one of the
smallest counties in the State.
Under the present system of trial
justices it is satisfactory to most ev-
erybody. Under this system in 1912 il
cost us for justice fees something over
1912; under the provisions of this bill
they are going to start with a salary of
$500 fol tthe judge of this court. The

people of the county should have a

THERE are many new styles of veil
ings that will find favor this sea-
son, particularly for motoring. The
most striking novelty is a chiffon veil
with an oval insertion Of craquele. which
Is really a very fine fancy mesh. Another
is what is called the "Chinchilla," Of fancy
chiffon. 1t is practical for motoring. as
IL is easily washed, and this process more
over, does not destroy the crinkle In the
chiffon, which is its chief attraction.
Chenille spots are becoming more gen.
eral, together with the fancy mesh.
Wells will be very much worn this sea-
son. for with the small hat q smartly ar
ranged veil adds much to the appearance.
The Bulgarian designs in ribbons still
continue to the fore for millinery pur-
poses. strong colors being popular. Moth
ing, indeed, is apparently too startling in
ribbons for millinery. The Bulgarian
floral designs are particularly good. and
fruits, such as apples, cherries, tomatoes,
are used in small clusters. A band and
flat bow Of fancy edged ribbon and a
bunch Of fruit on the small brimmed hats
are the fancy for morning wear with the
tailor made coat and skirt
Among the most fashionable oolors of
the new season are the Cog de Roche and
the Russian green. The former is per-
haps the leading color. especially for trim

shades Of 1t. 1t may perhaps be most ac-
curately described as tangerine with a
slight touch Of yellow. Dark blue coats
with wafstcoats of this shade will be much
seen.
The waistcoat Is being made longer and
longer. and now It almost gives the effect
OF an inner coat. When the coat itself is
opened the waistcoat alone is seen, the
blouse being completely hidden.
The Russian green is between an olive
and myrtle shade. and looks lovely in
rich bengalines and crepe de Chine. which
materials will take the place to a great ex-
tent of satin for coats and skirts. Printed
silks will be used to trim the collars and
cuffs. and also for waistcoats. the bright
colors relieving the darker tones Of the
greens and blues Of the costumes.
It is curious to note how the Chinese in.
fluence Is setting its mark on the spring
coats. We have become accustomed to
the evening wraps in the richly en-
broidered styles, and now this shape in
plain colors is the latest novelty. The
sack does not deviate at all from the
mandarin coat either in length or shape,

\IEW outing coats to wear for all out
IN door sports have caught the vivid
color note of this season, and here
is one place that the new craze for color
is at its best. These bright outing coats
are admirable against the background of
trees, grass, sea and sky, for they tone in
with the varied colors of nature and lose
the hard brightness that they often have
in the more subdued coloring of town
backgrounds.
These brilliantly colored coats, which
replace the Angora sweaters of last sea-
son, are also made up in new materials
At first glimpse they look thick enough
to be for winter wear, but q nearer ex-
animation of them proves them to be of
unthinkable lightness. This is one of the
triumphs of the woollen manufacturers,
for warmth is combined with lightness of
weight which is thing most desirable
for the wearer's comfort.
Among the new materials of this sort
are the chinchilla cloth, the Persian lamb
cloth and the velours de laine. The sur
face of each is different; the chinchilla.

Latest Pink Batiste Used for
Lingerie.

n NE of the novelties in underwear is
1.-THE very pale pink batiste and lawn
used to make chemises, corset covers
and slips. 1t is not a strong pink that is
used indeed it is so delicate that it can
hardly be distinguished from the skin.
This style doubtless owes its vogue to
the fashion of transparent gown tops and
blouses, which are of an inconceivable
filminess and which show the lingerie at
best vaguely through the diphanous
folds. The pale pink tones in delightful
fashion under the filmy white blouse,
taking away from the too white look it
often has, making it unbecoming to many
persons
These dainty pieces of underwear are
made in the same fashion as those of the
usual materials, with Valenciennes, point
de Paris or Cluny lace, and have more
often broad ribbon interrun through
wide entredeux, or hens, than the baby
ribbon that is ordinarily used in feminine
underwear.
These novel sets are, of course. laun-
dered carefully. The French method Is
used; a slight solution of gum arabic re-
places starch and gives that delightful
limpness that is feature of French lin
gerie.

easily discerned through the meshes of net
and chiffon.
Round necks, from those that enclose
the base Of the neck, emitting the stock, to
those that seem almost too decollete for
afternoon wear, are the rule, and in elbow
sleeves the finish is often simply a drop
ping of the under lining into longer
sleeve to give a modish contrast of color
or material.
Several models of Paris design are
shown in photographs on this page. One
of these is typical of many of the other
new models seen in both afternoon and
evening gowns. As in all of this type of
gown, the skirt is made of two flounces,
and the whole gown is posed over a rather
light blue chiffon slip of the odd shade
called virgins blue. The corsage is as
simple and filmy as the skirt and is
dropped below the girdle belt enough to
break the straight front contour which has
been the vogue during preceding seasons.
This being an evening gown model, a slen-
der line of silvery crystal tubular beads
cred lace of which the gown is made. The
high shaped girdle is also strung with
these beads; above the material is softly
draped into a point and a pale pink rose
is tucked into the belt introducing the
Pompadour color combination that is al
ways so becoming to the delicate coloring
Of blond women.

slip, but of thin material is draped

the waist line. In fact. almost any
pretty arrangement of this sort is good
style. Three flounces are also used in
stead of two when more becoming :,
the figures and long chiffon sash ends of
two co]ors or two shades of one color
fall in very wide ends at the back and
may be of quite a different material
from that in the girdle. which is usually
OF satin or wide lowered ribbon.
A charming gown worn BY a lovely
FRENCH actress shown here is of a white
ana green combination. The skirt Of
white satin, is narrow and drawn TO-
ward the back with just an indication of

cutting. An amusing feature of this coat
is the square patch pockets on the wide
hip belt, one each side of the front These
longer coats can be used for driving and
steamer wear.
Some OF the new steamer coats are Of
the new block woollen plaids in bright
contrasts. One. of blue and orange, is Of

Pleats of all kinds are seldom laid BY
hand, now that those mechanically laid
can be had in all depths. They are sci
dom stitched down, for the machine
pleating stays in place without this pre-
caution. Three times as much of the
goods needed to make a plain shaped
skirt or tunic is allowed for material
when sent to the pleaters. For picot edg-
ing or for hemstitching a basting thread
run in the material, indicating the
line where the hemstitching is to be
placed, or the edge where the picotinx
Is to be added, is the correct way to pre-
pare material when sent TO the shop
where such things are done. Hem
stitching is generally ten cents a yard,
pioot edge the same, while mechanical
pleating ranges from six cents a yard
upward, according to depth.

net luffle and blouses transparency over

seen for many day, is not even

ribbon makes the girdle and fascinat-
ing vine composed of creamy white flowers
and green satin berries and stems trail
.alluringly across the tunic length.
On more unique lines still is the third
model portrayed, which contains a tunic
and draped girdle borrowed from an
lcient Egypt. White satin, supple as
lone could wish, is used for the under
dress and white silk wolfe for the-pleat-
led tunic. simple corsage. The draped
girdle, so strong feature of the sea-
sons gowns, is of satin in this case,
oddly finished by three semi-sphericai
buttons, satin covered. There is mo-
tiff of hand embroidery on the corsage
front and the long edges of the pleated
tunic show trailing border design in
