Woman With Wide Girdle Causes People To Stare At Belmont Park All That Saved It From Looking Like Basque of Thirty five Years Ago Was Lack of Shoulders and Sleeves
 Necklace Should Be Worn on Arm.

trimmed three-plece suits. In many instances they form the lower part of the bodice, the other half of which-or whatever remains of it af- ter the neck has been cut out-is in sheerest fabrics. The fronts and sides of the jacket are so shaped that one can tell at glance that the girdle is bust-high as we'll as hip-long. It seems to take as much material as the narrow skirt, which scarcely shows under the long, full overskirt.
 The basque girdle is quite as likely to close blindly as it is to button prom inently, and at times it's fastenings are the sole ornament of costume. In the shape of passementerie loops and buttons they are used on the redingote of costume in tilleul golfine. On this costume the girdle extends five inches above and five inches below the waistline, and across the front is closed with three sets of braided ornaments.
 An attractive phase of the new gir- dle is in plain rose silk on a rose patterned white chiffon gown. It holds in the top fulness of a gath cred ankle-long tunic, knots low at the left side and falls in long and pointed sash ends below the hip. It's upper edge, running close under the arm eyes of the bell sleeves, over- laps the point of the plain rose silk double ruching, finishing the w. opened neck. and that is all there Is of the bodice.
 Ripping Folds in Sea Green.
 Without it's deep girdle, the bodice of one of the most successful of all- black dinner gowns would be mere- ly two wisps of black gauge crossing the arm tops. But the great width of satin, drawn in ripping folds about the figure, from an inch above the bust almost to the hips base, makes an exceptionally modest bodice. Under it's lower edge ma- line overskirt veils to the ankles a front-crossed satin skirt, which ta- pers into a narrow train A woman who ordered this model in sea green carried out the aquatic idea by wear ing aquamarine-set bracelets.
 The tall girdle is not always of even width about the figure. At times it's ends are extended and knotted at the center of the front. This arrangement is shown below the jet rose em mbroidered plastron on a rose colored crepe de chine danc- ing gown. Drawn several inches above the center of the back, the girdle's upper edge brushes the arm- pits at the sides, and from there slants sharply to the waist, where the fringed and jet embroidered ends, loosely knotted, fall to the hips. The belt line is merely cov- cred by the girdle's lower edge, which is drawn tightly to conceal the gathers of a front t-cross draped skirt. bouffant at the hips and ex- tremely narrow at the ankles. With this gown a long string of jets Is worn. Only the conservative wom- an now wears her necklace around the throat, the prevailing Ashion being to wear it upon one arm, twined about the wrist or above the elbow.

The death of young Fred S. Platt
at Rutland Saturday Is one more re.
hinder that the careless use OF FIRE
arms, especially by boys causes more
deaths every year than smallpox,
diphtheria and several other diseases
combined The difference Is that we
spend thousands of dollars yearly in
fighting these dangerous diseases
while there are almost no restrictions
against selling guns and ammunition
to children and incompetents The
shooting of young Plat was due to
the most stupid carlessness on the
part of his companion, but that will
not deter some other thoughtless boy
from carrying a gun with the muZzle
directed toward his best friend, not
thinking that some accident or mishap
a fall or careless step may result
in another fatality a lifetime of re-
gret will not undo the damage.

A Vermont Weakness.

The complaint has often been
made that Vermont ought to change
tactics and re.elect men to the legis-
lature, tlstead of continuing to pass
the office around. One of the theor-
les OF government is that the people
delegate TO men of their own choice
the power TO represent them in the
halls of the legislature These rep.
resentatives are supposed 10 serve
the interests of the people who elect
ed them and the voters are given
the power TO remove their representa-
tives whenever these men fail to per-
form their duties in satisfactory
manner. II is argued that the know
ledge that he is subject to recall at
stated intervals has the effect of
squirting the representative on TO his
best efforts.
But do we give this theory an OPP
portunity to work itself out here in
Vermont? Indeed we do not 10
man goes to Montpelier with the idea
that he must do his best If he is to
be returned. He knows, in ninety
nine cases out of hundred. that he
will not be returned. He will not be
permitted to block some other good
fellow from enjoying the honor and
the compensation that goes with an
election to the legislature. He. then,
is urged by no spur to the best dis
charge of his duties. He expects to
be recalled and he knows that his re-
call win not mean to the people tina;
he has failed in his trust. There is
no reflection cast in failure to be re-
elected. The average representative
knows better than TO run again.
Thus il develops that the Vermont
way of doing il throws to the winds
enc of the greatest incentives to
good service that republic is able
10 devise.-St. Adams Messenger.

Our Democratic friends are little
on edge just now and barking toward
Washington for news Of appoint
ments. Practically all the terms of
the leading federal Office holders
have expired and there is naturally
no good reason from Democratic
point of view, why Republicans
should continue to draw these salar
les. The president is due back in
Washington Tuesday and congress
resumes it's session. The fact that
there are several candidates for
every place makes the waiting a lit
tie harder on the nerves of the aspir-
ants. The death Of United States
Marshal Bailey adds a place that
would not otherwise have been va
cant for two years, but there were
four or five candidates for it already
in the field.

Newton's Shock.

The immortal discoverer of the law
Of the attraction OF gravity was at
one time beside himself. In his fiftieth
year Newton suffered the severe shock
from which he never fully recovered.
A dog upset lighted candle, and pre-
cious manuscripts embodying the re-
suits of many years experiments in
optics were destroyed. In consequence
of this Newtons mind lost its balance
Brewster denies this. but about its
truthfulness there is not much room
for doubt. 1t is certain that for CON
siderable time his letters were quite
incoherent. and to be accounted for
upon no other hypothesis than that Of
a disordered mentality. Newton slow
ly recovered and lived to be eighty
three years old.
