THE GROWING GIRL.
Fashions Seem Made For Her Special
Needs This Spring.

Fashions Seem Made For Her Special
Needs This Spring.
For the girl who Is neither a child
nor young lady the present fashions
seem made for her special needs. We
all many time in the reign Of the mar
row skirt have deplored the fact that
the young girl with her undeyeloped
figure should don such an unbecoming
style. No longer will this be neces-
sary, for the empire waist with the
fuller skirt will beyond doubt be
a more graceful mode for her young
ladyship. The skirt that is plain in the
back and the front with the fullness
at the sides will be close rival of the
gathered or plated skirt. There is an
other style that bids for favor, and
that Is the gored skirt, well fitting at
the top, but with a decided fare below
the knees. The plated skirts are In
variably stitched below the hips. and
from there they flare In the approved
manner.
Bolero and Elton jacket effects are to
be selected by the wise parent for the
growing girl. The high placed belt Is
also becoming style.
While the berufied skirt Is not new
mode for the young girl, there is new
method Of disposing Of the ruffies. In
one girlish affair they were applied at
each side Of the front, leaving panel

The reinstatement OF the blouse and
separate skirt is sure. And be 1t known
the utility blouse this season is very
severe and exquisitely tailored, has a
high collar and long sleeves and is but
toned straight down before and right
up under milady's dimpled chin.
Such blouse is shown In the ac-
companying illustration. 1t Is deyel-
oped Of cream white georgette Grape,
with tiny turnover collar and turned
back cuffs. Nothing could be simpler
or smarter.
And We cannot escape pockets II We
would. Illustrated is q circular tailor
ed skirt of covert cloth. Triangular
pockets are placed at the front finish
ed with trimming Of tiny self covered
buttons. The skirt is short to display
patent leather boots with tops of covert
cloth.

The Christmas shin,

We reprint below two poems by Mabel
Haughton Collyer, OF San Francisco, CAL,
q daughter Of Austin p. Brown, q native
OF Orland. now OF Washington, d. c.
The first OF the poems was written for the
Public Ledger, of Tacoma, Wash, and the
second for the San Francisco Chronicle.
Both have been widely copied.
IsAsaucH.
There's sail on the seathat is stranger to all
OF the warrior ships there at bay;
She speaks from afar aud they answer her call
And salute as she goes on her way.
For the Gag that she flies is as white as dove,
With the gold star of hope for its crest.
And the word "Inasmuch" is the message of
love
That she bears to the nations oppressed.
..Inasmuch What We do for the least one Of
Inasmuchi Ye have done 1t for Me-"
Obi Brayely her flag is shoat in the breeze.
For this ship has no foe on the sea.
The warrior ships that crouch back in the
dark
Are abashed by her Hastings OF light:
Her signal is clear as the voice OF a lark.
.'For the children.m she speaks through the
night.
There are mines in the sea, there Is terror
above,
But our good ship sails on, unafraid;
She is laden with hope-she is laden with
love
To redeem the sweet promise He made.

Recalls Old Names.

AUBURN, Me-, March %, 1915.
To the Editor of The American:
Reading in the Lewiston Journal re-
Gently OF the death OF William b. Peters,
one of my schooimates OF the early 'fifties,
awakens in me wish to get in commune
cation with any others OF that period
whom time has spared.
The life of town where we lived in our
young days, stays with US. What that
town may pass through, or be, in other
years, we may know little OF, bat that
town will always be to us what it was in
that early time.
Ellsworth in 1858 was busy place. Its
workers were men of energy and enter

Jarvis, who supplied Elisworth's Aost

Jarvis Greedy, an ardent friend TO every
good cause and enterprise. 1t is my be-
lief that nothing which concerned tie
welfare OF Ellsworth failed Of free and full
discussion at Aim Greeiy's headquarters
when that town was in the framing.
In April, 1858, lone passenger rode to
Ellsworth from Bangor with Ben Tinker,

Our Otis correspondent is reminded by
this touch Of winter after the spring like
weather OF q few weeks, of an experience
related by her father, then a lad of ten
years, in April, 1916. The boy and his
father, caught away from home by sud
den blizzard, were homeward bound with
an ox-tearn, walking themselves to keep
from freezing. When they reached the
Ssswamp road", the main and only road in
those days, the drifts had piled beyond
the boys height, and his father wrapped
him il blankets and placed him on the
sleds, while he forged on through the
drifts, urging the tired oxen with his
good. They reached home safely, but
when the father pulled on his long legged
Feather boots, it was found that his feet
and legs were frozen white. Heroic home
remedies were applied, and the circulation
wss restored in legs and feet, except in
one big toe. The absence of that tee was
. rsminder through life OF one Of the
bittsrsst days April ever produced.

Correspondence.


AUGUSTA, ME-, March %, 1915.
To the EdstoTsof The American:
Committee hearings are over, and al
though much matter is on the table, the
end is in sight. To have seen the House
members filling their waste baskets with
spoils and shipping them home Thursday
one would have supposed it the closing
days OF the session.
Agitation before the ways and bridges
about change in the expense OF the
building of highways. The people, as
whole, have commended since the new local
bond issue that the expense OF construc-
ton per mile has been altogether too
much.
Hon. J. p. Bass gave interesting facts
and figures on the matter, and said that
5000 q mile was twice too mach. He
said, further, which illustrates conditions,
that the commission had already expended
about fs00, 900 on the lao miles OF roads
planned, and that the work would take
t225, 600 more. There were 5000 miles OF
road yet to build.

scientific engineering and too little COM
mon sense. He declared the highway
commission to be too arbitrary, and said
$40, 600 mile WAS too much to spend on .
road which could be built for much less.
He criticised the action o. the highway
commission. in refusing TO consider the
appeal OF the Eden highway commits
sioners at hearing held in Bangor, where
they asked that gravel road be built in
that town instead OF the expensive macad-
am road which had been planned, and
which wSs put in at = cost Of $4,000 per
mile. He also criticised the detour roads
which were provided around places where
the new highways were being constructed.
Judge B. F. Cleaves, Of the utilities
commission, gave an interesting address
on the subject Of the B. q N. reorganixa-
ton, before = joint session OF the House
and Senate Friday.
The druggists bill, which ID generally
considered ~ resubmission bill In lambs
clothing, TELL with . dull thud when il
came mp for hearing In the House. This
has been pet measure with Representa-
tive Fossett, and this and the failure Of
his measure to investigate blaine viles
have caused the Portland man to lose some
Of his faith in the Judgment Of Maine
legislators.
Both branches Of the legislature have
approved OF the women's reformatory,
after much discussion. A sub committee
Of the legislature had previously visited
similar institutions in other states. Much
credit is due Senator Allen, who has
worked increasingly on this matter for
two sessions.
One Of the best business men in the
upper branch is Senator Chatto, of Han
cock county. His judgment has been
much sought, and he has been spoken OF
IS one OF the leaders il he returns.
Two ex-governors have been visitors at
the state house this week William T.
Cobb and Bert NJ. Fernald-and both re-
ceived warm welcome.
April is the date generally set for ad-
journment.

The senatorship.

Announcement OF the withdrawal Of
Ex-Governor Cobb from the contest
for nomination for United States sem
ator has precipitated considerable
newspaper talk about the senatorial
campaign, In which the papers have
pretty generally assumed that Con-
gresham John A. Peters, of Ellis
worth, was a candidate. The latest
rumor was that he had withdrawn
from the contest.
Congressman Peters has not with
drawn; he has no intention OF with
drawing; 1t is impossible for him to
withdraw-for the simple reason that
he has never been in the contest and
never entertained for a moment the
idea OF getting into it.
At the converting of the Maine legis.
lature in January, and the gathering
of the clans at Augusta, conversation
naturally turned to politics. 1t was
equally natural that, in casting about
for likely senatorial timber, Congress-
man Peters was mentioned. This was
the beginning of his Candidacy, and
the end of it, for he never gave it any
encouragement.
Congressman Peters is recognized
by the people of Maine as man of
senatorial size; down here in his
home district we realize that the
State ct large will sooner or later de.
mand his services in the upper branch
of Congress, but the third district is
q little selfish in desiring to keep him
to herself while longer, while
he realizes that he owes something
to the old third district.
Ellsworth and Hancock county still
have personal interest in the sena-
torial campaign, in the probable can
didacy of Col. Frederick Hale, of
Portland, an Ellsworth born man.
Other probable candidates in the
primaries are former Governors Fer
maid and Haines, and Congressman
Guernsey. One or more of these may
drop out before the real contest
opens, and others may enter the lists,
but it is pretty safe bet that the
leaders in the race will be among the
men named.

A new referendum wrinkle. which
may have merit, has been enacted
by the legislature of Washington
state. 1t forbids the circulation of
initiative and referendum petitions,
requiring that they be signed at q
registration Office. The law is aimed
at the abuee of the referendum in
hiring canvassers to circulate petit
tions, paying SO much name, under
which method anyone putting up the
necessary money may obtain refer
endum on any law passed by the leg
islature.

Representative Small, OF Mt. Desert,

the purchase OF the Mt. Desert toll bridge
by asking unanimous consent for the in

that the balance necessary for the pur-
chase Of the bridge be raised by the

not received.
