The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-11-23

The past week, from the standpoint
of general business, has not been ma
terially different from the weeks i'm
mediatelv preceding. Constructive news
far overbalances any developments of an
opposite nature, and the daily recital
of specific instances Of trade revival is
now accepted almost as q matter OF
course. Bank clearings last week broke
all weekly records in the history Of the
country, railroad traffic is i'll enormous
volume, and steel and iron operations
continue on capacity basis. Copper
metal is in increased demand at high
er quotations and the country s staple
crops are changing hands at prices
highly remmerative to the producers
In the stoc market, the trend is toward
sOunder conditions. The wild specula-
tion in war stocks has in large measure
subsidized and in its place q healthy de
mand for railroad and the better class
of industrials has arisen. Representa-
tive Wall Street houses express the opin
ion that the technical position of the
market has been greatly improved by
the liquidation Of the past fortnight
Meantime an insistent demand for high
grade investment issues attests the
strength Of underlying conditions in Sc
curity markets.

Not One of the Smaller seminaries.
Barre Times. J

barre lines
In speaking of the decreased regis
tration in many of the "smaller acad
emies and seminaries, - the Brattleboro
Reformer also expresses its conviction
that "the day of usefulness for these
institutions is passing" Probably the
contemporary would not include God
dard seminary in that list because the
Barre institution has greater enroll
ment than ever before and because it
seems to be calling a noteworthy mis-
sion in the educational world. There
are always exceptions to the rule, and
Goddard seminary, we take it, is. an
exception to the rule pointed out by
The Reformer 1t might be added, too,
that this seminary has an endowment
fund equal to that possessed by some
small colleges, which tends quite bit
toward the permanence of the school.

ed only around the edges. Then too the
ferns are picked at the end of the sea-
son at their maturity and the roots are
ordinarily not disturbed. Many varieties
are not picked at all and only perfect
specimens will be accepted. When all
these things are taken into considera
ton it is probable that the beautiful
and valuable ferns of Vermont are not
in danger OF extinction, but it would be
well TO have the question investigated
by the commissioner of agriculture or
some one selected by him as the bust
ness has grown to such important pro
portions that it is desirable to keep it
on permanent basis.

Greece is surely between Seylla and
Charybdis. If she listens to the leu
tons and interns the allies troops as
well as the Serbs she is threatened with
blockade that will strike at her very
heart for the reason that Greece is
made up of a chain of islands that
owe their very existence to the sea. On
the other hand if she accedes to the
demands of the allies that she de-
mobilize her army and allow free
passage for the British, French, Ital-
ian and Serbian troops she is open
to the threats of Germany. King Con
stantine, proGerman as he is, must now
declare for the central empires, give to
the allies a satisfactory guarantee OF
the continuance of benevolent neu-
trality or, by immediate action, prove
that he is willing to submit to the
wishes of the great majority Of the
Hellenic people by honoring the treaty
with Serbia and ranging his army and
navy on the side of the entente al
lance, thus making for d Greater
Greece. The country 5 hour has strucl

When Ladies Wore Maske.

In the seventeenth century ladies
wore masks in public. and great was
the variety of face screens that We're
seen. Ladies who had "cOralline" lips
preferred short masks, as was natural.
For others who wished to hide the
lower part of the face the mask was
completed by chin piece of linen,
which afterward passed under the
chin and over the ears. In 1852 IA new
mask called the mimi. from the Italian
mimics, was all the rage and threat
ened, to usurp the place of the black
one. 1t was even the cause of violent
Quarrels between the ladies who held
to the latter and those who preferred
the latest novelty. Some years later
it became the fashion to trim the up
per part of the mask with a ruche of
lace. to iengthen it with a beard Of
the same material and even to cover
II more or less with lace to the bor-
ders Of the eyeholes Young ladies
of this period. however. frequently
contented themselves with covering
the face simply with piece of black
Grape for coquetry's sake and to ap-
pear the fairer.
