the alien born is not so great as
among the native born. But the
commission recommended that i'm
migration be restricted on an eco
nomic basis.
The difficulty is that our immi-
grants are lily assorted. Formerly
we got artisans with the laborers
but now the immigrants are mostly
unskilled laborers and that market
is over crowded. Business wants
them only at certain times when
there is a rush. If the demand for
this class of labor could be better
distributed through the year it
would be much better. Our immi-
grants are centering in the cities.
The foreign born people do not form
a greater proportion of our popula-
ton than they did so years ago.
There was IA % then and 14% now.
From 1880 to 1890 the greater pro-
portion of foreign born people were
in the northern central states but in
1910 there were 100000 more in
the North Atlantic states and 1870
of them are in the cities.

WANT TRAINS RESTORED
ST. JOhnsbury U. G. T. Told That
Railroad Is Ignoring Courts
Order,


Railroad Is Ignoring Courts
Order.
1t is expected that at a very early
date the two passenger trains which
were taken off the Passumpsic Div
ision last fall will be put back on
their old schedules. These trains
are the south bound train leaving
here about 1870 a. m. and the north
bound train leaving here about 7.13
p. m. This is expected because
Frank A. Miles of Newport acting
for nine petitioners in a hearing held
some time ago regarding these SAME
trains finds that the management dis
continued these trains last fall with
out getting the consent of he public
service commission which had order
ed the continuance of these trains
and whose order had been confirmed
by the supreme court of Vermont
Mr.. Miles took up the matter di-
rectly with Pres. Mcdonald, Messrs
Pollock and Rich of the Boston and
Maine. The gentlemen acknow-
ledged that the discontinuance of
these trains was a violation of the
public service commissions order
and promised the resumption of these
trains. They made this proposition:
10 put the trains DacR on now II de-
sired with the possibility of applying
to the public service commission next
fall for the right to discontinue them;
or if the people along the line would
wait until the summer change of
time table June %, these trains
would be put back on and operated
through next winter without any con-
test.
Mr.. Miles met the travelling men
of st. Johnsbury at the Avenue house
Friday evening to learn whether they
wanted to wait until June % or in
sist on the trains going on at once
and possibly have a contest before
the public service commission next
fall. The matter was fully discussed
and the unanimous sentiments SEEM
ed to be that service should be re-
sumed at once.
If the road puts the trains back
at once it escapes the liability of
prosecution on a criminal charge and
for contempt of court.

Married I'd Nofre Dnme

There was a pretty wedding at
Notre Dame church yesterday morn
ing at nine o'clock when Miss Millie
Guyer, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Leon
Guyer, was married bye Rev. e. c.
Drouhin to William Langlois. The
bride wore a navy blue travelling suit
and a white hat and carried a bou-
quet of bride roses. Two members
of the Children of Mary, Misses
Beatrice Juneau and Annie Guyer,
stood up with her and assisted in the
act of conservation when the bride
takes off the ribbon of the society
The wedding ceremony was perform
ed within the sanctuary. The two
fathers, Leon Guyer and Louis Lang
lois accompanied the bride and
groom. After the wedding a break
fast was served at the brides home
to about 60 relatives of the contract
ing parties and Mr.. and Mrs. Lang
lois took the air line south to spend
a few days in Boston. They received
many beautiful gifts of china, furni-
ture, linen, silver and embroidery.
On their return they will go to house

Brocade is not used as often as velvet.

than gold. but the same idea runs
through all.
The bodice that Martial made is cut

There are straps of gold-colored velvet

CHANGING FASHIONS.

MANY novel changes are noted as the
AVA season advances, among these be-
ing the princess gowns, with an un-
broken line from shoulder to ankles
with slight curve at the waist. Other
changes Of Importance are the long
wired tunics, forerunner of the crino-
line and the fuller skirt in various
forms.
Some skirts have the circular cut
while others are in pleated form or
shirred and set on a deep yoke. This
extra fullness Is seen in afternoon and
street costumes, as well as in evening
gowns. Some skirts are seen shirred
on to the waistband. A new skirt has
tucks graduated from three-inch
width just above the hem to less than
an inch at the waist line. These tucks
are sometimes used on the long tunics
in graduated styles.
The long tuntc is now more in the
form of an overskirt than a tunic, as
it reaches almost to the skirt edge.
are also more full than formerly. Trim
mings on tunics consist of bands of
fur used in horizontal arrangements,
velvet ribbon, bias folds of silk or
strands of iridescent beads. Sometimes
tunics are ruff1ed in silk or lace from
the hem to the waist, the ruffles being
placed about two inches apart on tunics
of net. chiffon. tulle or taffeta. Some
times the tunic reaches to the skirt
edge in front. but is considerably
shorter in the back.
Fitted bodices have a curved line
over the bust which outlines the figure
under the arms more distinctly than
has been the case for some time. Old
fashioned PORTED basques are worn
with the full skirts. The sleeves of
dressy afternoon gowns are long in
nearly every case. Evening gowns are
either extremely short or are short in
front and finished with a train in the
back. Draperies are principally in
Grecian effect, the materials being
chiffons over satin foundations. Such
dresses are short and intended princi-
pally for dancing.
Flowers in soft colors are the chief
trimming for these gowns, appearing
on the shoulder and at the waist line,
either at front or back. Evening gowns
are made of metallic brocades. beaded
chiffons, embroidered nets. plain and
brocaded velvets and chiffon plushes.
Beaded bands and metallic embroid-
cries are much used on evening gowns.
The length of suit coats varies great
ly, some being made very short and 9TH
ers reaching almost to the hem of the
dress. Some are in semi-f1tted effect.
showing straight line in front, but
broken line in back. The skirts flare,
which carries out the same idea as the
long, full skirt tunic.

Pretty Candle Shades.

you may easily make candle shades
L to suit the occasion. Cut out d
circular foundation from white bristol
board, then cover this with crepe paper.
1t will be smoother if stitched On the
machine, rather than fastened with
paste. Make a narrow ruching of crepe
paper on the machine and sew at the
top and bottom of the shade while
fiat; then fasten the ends of the shade
together. For a bridal shower. cut
four hearts one inch in size at equal
distances apart out of the bristol board,
but not through the crepe paper. For
a card party use spades, diamonds, etc,
for the cut-out design. With the nu-
merous shades of crepe paper you can
use class or club colors and have an
effective shade at a small cost and
very little labor.

are not placed on black hats.
For the young girl entering society
there are fascinating bonnets of black

for the all-black hat and are often
worn with white fox neckpieces held

that founced skirts will be very much
in fashion, and separate velvet bodices
although the one-piece frock. made of
one fabric. with its belt at the hips. is
equally smart. Last spring there were
many fiounced evening skirts. and 1t
will bring JOY to the woman of slender
means who owns such a gown to know
that she can step right into it again.
If the bodice is not in good condition
she can fall back upon the fashion for
1.-The brocade or velvet one, which is cut
low in the front of the neck, if 1t is
for afternoon wear. and in deep round
decollete if it is for the evening.
| The MILDLY blouse, as it is sometimes
called, which is made of velvet in
straight line from shoulders to hips. is
possibly too much in fashion to recon-
| mend without warning of its over
popularity; yet. if you want it to reno
vate a frock of which the skirt is good,
here's a garment right to hand. Black
velvet ones are slipped on over all
kinds of black skirts, and colored ones.
too, for that matter. The combination
| of hydrangea blue tulle and black
panne velvet goes very well as skirt
and bodice for formal afternoon and
theater wear. The separate bodices for
evening wear are cut on different lines,
| as a rule, from those worn in the house
| in the afternoon.
The milliners have adapted them
selves to the sleek fiat coiffure that has
| won out and been accepted by all kinds
of people, fashionable and unfashion-
able. 1t is not always becoming, but a
woman can modify it SO that it will be.

Millinery Fancies.

TuRBANS continue. if anything, more
popular than ever. Russian effects,
Scotch effects, various notched and cor
nered styles and very long severe boat
shaped models are smart. Large sailors
are worn for knockabout, and huge far
ing Gainsboroughs are among the dressy
models.
Fur cloth is much used in the making
OF smart turbans, combined with dull,
soft tinsel, panne velvet and satin, also
frequently combined with felt Tinsel
ornaments and tinsel braids are used to
bind brims and edge novel fancies Band
ings OF various widths. edgings, cockades,

frequently single flower is used in
combination with fur. Metal roses are
favored for this purpose Some OF the
newest nowers have fur petals or fur
centers All. sorts of tall trim fancies of
psaoees' Pea Ostrich. COG and burnt novel
bans. Beaded and spanglea birds and
ornaments continue to be popular.

NOTES ON SEASONS FUjRS

DOLINSKY is the popular fur of the
n moment. Like many popular
fashions, it is not new. Kolinsky
was used last year by Callot and Poi
ret. This year it is dipped to deeper
brown than it was last year.
A Russian furrier in New York has
launched in the smart houses a wolf
fur each hair of which is dyed by
hand. 1t wears forever and a day and
it is not expensive-two features which
ought to make it popular. 1t is made
up with brown millinery velvet into
muffs and neckpieces.
Common backyard goat, deprived of
any unpleasantness. is used by Drecoil
in many OF the best coat suits. The
hair is left in its original long, coarse
state.
Monkey, as every one knows by this
time. is exceedingly popular. 1t is
finer than goat. 1t is used for after
noon wraps. as well as for collars and
cuffs on street suits, for bordering of

Sewing Cards for Children.

NOW that long delays in the house are

is essential to prepare for their occu-
patton. Even if they do not go to kim
dergarten. many Of the kindergarten
occupations can be given to them. Sew
ing cards are one of the most enter

Small ones are sold for 35 cents a
hundred, pricked with simple geoNet-
rical designs, animals, children and
fruit. Larger ones, pricked with more
elaborate designs. sell for so, 60. 10
cents and a dollar a hundred. The
more expensive ones are pricked with
groups of animals or children, black
smiths, American flags and designs for

but it does not aid in a chiffon blouse
which is to be worn with a coat suit.
Here Is where the snag comes. The
blouses unless one keeps on the coat.
There are two kinds of white mus
Lin blouses worn this winter. One is
utterly simple, with. possibly. tucks
and long small sleeves ending in turn
over cuffs. The collar may be high
and boned if one wants to adopt that
revived fashion, or half low in front,

one finds the novelty and the price.

on this.
The top of the coat is cut like a
