a certain lack on the part of designers
to produce any decided novelties; and
cropping around for what has not yet be-

the jaded fashion appetite.
For practical street suits and service
able dresses, the latest conceits show
plentiful use of serge, and gabardine, COM
bined with plaid silks and gay Roman
stripes, as sashes. girdles, facings lin
ings, etc. Thrce-piece suits have related
blouses of chiffon. Where tafeta is used
in combination it appears, as for in
stance, in a Bernard model, in the form
of a sash, long in the back, and draped
in bouffant effect, with a bow in the
front.
Sashes are a conspicuous factor, and
may be looped twisted twice around the
body and tied in front. This way is
instanced in the attractive model on the
upper right side of the page (SO7O.

Il ions OF the hourS not IN the consplc-
uous stifened hump that was in vogue
almost a generation ago, but in more
subtle puff so to speak, or the arrange
ment of sash in outstanding loops, to
which many of us will take kindly for
one dainty frock or another in the spring
wardrobe. Shopkeepers have taken adj
vantage of the innovation as an excuse
to sell adjustable hustle pads, for whicS
there has been slight call already.
Imported model gowns, and few man
uractured silk dresses, the earliest of their
kind to be shown, are truly fascinating
in the novel arrangement of overdress
drapery, similating hustle.
One of many equally attractive frocks,
which might have been chosen from the
latest importations is that in the lower

skirt S151). In the first place 1t is made
in the black and white combination be-

women
The material is a satin striped wolfe,
resembling grenadine of few years ago,
out of which the model could be suitably
reproduced. 1t is hung over a narrow
skirt of white taffeta, and blouse lining
of white net. The two tunics are scarce

taffeta having sash ends finished like rib
bon with a hemstitched picot. 1t is ad-
justed in three loops, each under one

out in the hustle effect which is really
fascinating as well as novel. Many fea-

The Free Press, like Browning, is

that Judge Powers was selected for his

pointing old men to iudgeships was dis
carded by the federal government years
ago. Judges Robb and Stafford Of Yer

The wicked folly Of permitting chill

is deadly danger in allowing young
sters to use firearms, and no conceiva-
BILE compensation. There is time enough
to train men to be soldiers after they
have reached maturity. An amend

vides that the right of the people to

the recognized principle of the police
power of the states, nearly every state

concealed weapons. 1t should be
equally easy, without conflict with the
constitution, to provide by statute that
small boys shall not be permitted to
handle firearms. But of vastly more

that the company can be organized

Editor Of The Reformer:
As we are leaving Brattleboro, af-

standing our action has been criticized
by some, we wish to give our reasons
to the public for so doing.

our home in Orleans county and moved
to Brattleboro with the intention of
making our home there and with the
full expectation of being allowed to
have her with us during the week
ends as is the custom in schools for
the blind. Greatly TO our surprise we
were told by the authorities Of the
school that we could have her home
once each month for the weekend

ties of the school was that the child
might contract some contagious disease
and carry it into the school, but we

Auto Turns SumersauIt.

Underhill, July 27. William Hunt of
Jacksonville was seriously injured here
Saturday evening in an automobile acct
dent when the machine which he was
driving turned turtle and then righted
itself. Accompanying Mr.. Hunt were
Benjamin Stafford, owner of the car,
and another man from Jacksonville,
and John Howrlcan of Essex Center.
The latter suffered three broken ribs.
The others were somewhat bauised.
Just how the accident occurred is not
known. The party were returning from
Burlington. Mr., Hunt, an experienced
driver, had put on speed to climb a little
and then did not slacken the speed. He
lost control of the machine, which ran
into a ditch, turned completely over
and faced about in the opposite direc-
ton.
Mr., Hunt was removed to the home
of Mrs. Dickerson, where he remained
most of yesterday in an |unconsciou,
condition. One shoulder was dislocatec
and he was internal injured.
