ATTIRE OF MEXICAN WOMEN
Poorer Class Accept Without Protest
style OF Dress Which Custom Has
Dictated to Their Class.

AS to the women of poems, their
dress is generally somber hued and
modest. No scarlet blanket covers
them, but a blue reboso, or shawl,
which is generally placed over the
head in lieu of a hat.
The women of the poorer classes ac-
cept, with what to the foreigner seems
almost pathetic resignation. the
style of dress which custom has die
tated to their class.
There Is no aping OF the rich in
their attire. Whether it be the-fne
lace mantilla or the Partisan hat
which the ar-distant-from-her senior
ita wears. as in temple or plaza she
takes her dainty way, or the pretty
frock or delicate shoes, the poor WON
an OF the peon, or the mujer OF the
petty shopkeeper, casts no envious
glance-but no, that would not be
true!
She casts them, but she will not
strive to initiate. Is there not some
virtue In such non-emulation, or is II
but the spirit OF deadened race? Yet
this rather somber and unattractive
apparel is found more among the peon
class; the Indian girl In some parts OF
Mexlco-as at Tehuantepec-wea a
handsome native costume, derived
from Aztec days, at holiday time.

flan composer-sIster Substituted

Benedetto Marcello, one Of the most
famous Venetian composers, fell In
love with beautiful girl named Leo
nora Manfritto. who married Paolo
Seranzo, Venetian noble. She died
In short time after her marriage, a
victim OF the harsh and jealous treat
ment OF her husband.
Her body was laid out in state in
one OF the churches, and her lover ac-
tually succeeded in stealing the CORPSE
and conveying 1t to a ruined crypt in
one of the islands, and here he sat
day and night by his lost love. singing
and playing to her. as though by the
force of his art he could recall her
to life, says the London Telegraph.
Leonora had twin sister, Eliade.
who was so like her that her closest
friends could scarcely distinguish
them. One day Eliade heard a singer
In a gondola singing so exquisitely
that she traced the gondola to the de-
serted island. and then she learned
later the fate of her sisters corpse
and the identity of Marcello. Aided
by servant, Eliade substituted her
self for his sisters body, and when
Marcello returned and called Leonora
to awake he did not ask in vain, for
apparently she rose alive from her
coffin. Marcello, when he found out
the delusion. was quite satisfied and
married Eliade, but his happiness was
short lived, as he died a few years

peared as quickly as it had come.
Have Only Description.
Detectives who have sought to iden-
tify the animal and to question it's
owner il he should be found, say that
they have not themselves seen the
horse, but have obtained an eyewitness
description from a young lady, as fol-
lows:
The horse is quite different from
the type ordinarily seen in Chicago.
The orange-colored body is merely one
OF the peculiarities. In addition no.

Meat Cieaver in Forefoot.
Questioned more closely, the young
woman remembered that the beast
limped little with it's right forefoot,
and that the left forefoot, oddly shaped
like the hand OF a gorilla, brandished
an ordinary meat cleaver such as may
be observed in any butcher shop. This
item, the cleaver, is believed to be
the only tangible clue to the identity
OF the beast. At a late hour last
night, however. the police had not re-
ceived any complaint of a missing
cleaver.
The young lady said also that the
lips OF the horse, when she saw 1t,
were parted in "a sort of leering grin"
But this testimony is not taken at
par, for authorities are agreed that a
horse laugh never is leer 1t is
therefore supposed that she is mis-
taken about the lips.

ASKS COOPERATION WITH
 STATE GAME WARDENs
State Commission Urges importance
 of Protecting the Birds.

The state fish and game conrnis sSi on have issued the following circular:
 "The very startling statements made by the Hon. William c. Redfeld, sec retary of commerce, in his address be- fort the national fish and game com mission in Washington in September, prompts the commission to make this vigorouse appeal to you. Secretary Eedf1eld stated that insects caused an annual loss of two and one-flaif bii- lion dollars to the agricultural inter ests of the United States.
 It has also been estimated that our most beneficial birds have been so ruthlessly destroyed that in less than d generation their number has, de- creased so per cent.
 These facts prompted congress to take strenuous action relative to the enforc ement of the federal laws, and the most important factors In the throughout the state are the wardens and special protectors. The state board of fisheries and game respect fully request all persons to cooperate with them in the enforcement Of the statute laws.
 Forty years ago, the preservation of wild life was regarded chiefly as sentimental cause of practical in- terest to the sportsman only. Today, that cause IS not only acutely senti- mental, but it has also become in tenSely practical to millions of Amer ican producers and consumers. It af- fects the lumber pile and the market basket and it is of such practical inn portance that 1t demands the atten- tIon of the public al large.

CHURCH COUNCIL AGAINST
 MARRIAGE LICENSE CHANCE
Does oNt Want to See Repeal of Five
 Day Clause for Non Residents.


 Nine of the fifteen churches Of Nor Wich which arc members were rep resented at the regular meeting OF the Church Federation council held Mon day evening at 7.45 o'clock in the rooms over the Otis library.
 The president of. the council, E. A. Prentice, was in the chair and the minutes were kept by the secretary Rev. E. $. Worcester. Reports of the standing and special committees were made and the council passed 8 vote that it was opposed to the suggested repeal Of the five day clause relative to the granting Of marriage licenses to non-IeSidents, which was enacted in 1913. The vote passed also con tained 9 request from the council that the senator from this district and the representatives from this town use their influence in opposition to such a repeal
 Rev. pr. T. E. Sfocurl. Rev. 1T. J. Wycltoff and Hugh Black1edge were named as 8 committee to see that this vote was transmitted to the senator and representatives and to follow the matter up.
 It is the general experience of the pastor in Norwich, it is stated, that the passage of the bill resulted in an immediate and very desirable decrease in the number of doubtful marriages which they were asked to perform.
 A considerable part of the time ef the meeting was also devoted to an informal discussion Of the apparent increase of Sunday selling in Norwich. One of the members who had made a canvass of the business section of the city reported that he had counted about 50 places where business was carried on on Sunday. which included fruit stores, candy stores, cigar stores, shoe shining parlors and drug stores.
 No action was taken on the matter. -11r Ez--- sibility of arousinG public sentiment on this subject.
