The ownership OF the Montpelier
Journal is again being discussed by
seve-al Vermont newspapers and
there is evinced a desire 10 smoke
out the real owner. The Banner re-
prints an article from the Randolph
Herald and News. This article tells
the truth so far as we know The
editor OF The Banne. has tried to dis
pose of the shares of stock which
stand in his name but finds that he
cannot do it because transfer re-
quires clerk OF the corporation and
the last known clerk of the corpora
ton, Charles a Webb. resigned seve-.
al years ago. We have thought OF
calling on the attorney general for
detective service but there seems 10
be feeling that that bill Is big
enough already. We do not care
really who owns the Journal. but its
editorial views do not coincide with
those OF Mr.. Howe and he does not
like TO have his name identified with
a business for which he is in no way
responsible. bur he has so FAR found
no way ont OF the dilemma

the most attractive of all the new
models are those in which smooth
faced cloths and fur cloths are used
together.
In combinations of this kind plain
skirts of broadcloth with very wide
borders of fur cloth are worn with
skirted coats in which the two fabrics
are cleverly worked up together.
Fur cloths are as we'll adapted to
millinery as to costumes and are
made up into toques and turbans.
They are utilized in muffs and neck
pieces and in coats for little chill
dren. In these particular directions
they have been considerably exploit
ed. But in costumes only the begin

velopment as the winter season ad-

WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS

No housewife if she could once see
them would willingly forego the salts
faction and comfort of owning such a
spendid cutlery set as the Star-Mir-
rOr is offering as a premium in con-
nect1On with one years paid-in- adj
vance subscription to the Daily Star
Mirror.
The two sets offered are identical
except that in the case of the cheaper
set the cleaver is not included.
Here is a description of the sets !:
The knives and forks in this set are
made from the very highest quality
crucible steel, oil tempered. The
knives are each ground by hand on
grindstones under water, which meth
Cd Of grinding produces knife capa-
BILE of holding very keen edge, and
this result cannot be obtained if they
are ground on grinding machines or
emery wheels, as is usually done.
Spatula is made from the best Eng
lish Sheffield steel, especially made
and imported for particular use in
this Spatula. There is not other steel
SO good.
The handles are made from West
Coast Cocobola, brought in from the
West Coast of Costa RIGA and Hon
duras, at a great expense. This Coco
bola is used in this set, as it is the
hardest, finest grained and most beau
tifully colored in the world and diff
fers very materially from the usually
so-called Cocobola. Handles are rivet-
ed on with heavy brass rivets.
The Cleaver is full seven-inch size
and specially hardened and tempered,
made from steel manufactured es-
pecially for this use.
No. 81, 6-piece set consists of all
above. Regular price $3.50.
No. 61A 5-piece set consists of all
but the Cleaver. Regular price $1.75.
Each set packed in neat box, and
guaranteed for five years.
With one years subscription to The
Daily Star-Mirror, paid in advance,
we are offering Set No. 81 for $1.5O,
and Set No. Ola for $1.20.
Only a limited number of sets have
been purchased. Get your order in
early. Send a check or money or
der, or call in person.

" plush first appeared they made a
strong appeal On the score of novelty,
but seemed somewhat heavy. Manu-
facturers have improved the quality
of the new pushes or fur cloths"
for making suits and costumes by
making them lighter in weight, more
supple and handsomer than ever.
Some of them are marvelously faith
full copies of certain furs, as broad
tail and mole. They are made in
greater number of colors than in for
mer seasons and there Is no doubt of
their success in entire costumes.
In any representative display of
suits and costumes those models en-
ploying fur cloth are found combined
with plain smooth-surfaced cloths.
Occasionally contrasting cOlors are
used but much oftener the two cloths
are of exactly the same shade. The
