wound with narrow satin ribbon, and
the hanging loop is slipped through it.
The hair bow is mounted on an elas-
tic band covered with plain satin rib
bon shirred over it. 1t is merely a
group of four loops very tightly bound
at the base, where they are sewed to
the band.
For the slippers tufted soles are
bought and covered with ribbon sewed
over the tufted side! The uppers are
lined with plain, thin silk and finished
with a shirred band of narrow satin
ribbon. This Is formed into a little
rosette centered with a small but
ton made by covering a mold with
the ribbon.

railway opens for traffic this
summer. 1t runs from Brig
~ along the line of the F'urka post
road and traverses a little
known region of the Alps.
When the Simplon line was opened
in 1906 there was probably no other
city in the Rhone valley which gained
more through this achievement than
Brig, delightfully."- quaint community
at the junction of the Simplon and
Furka post routes. A few years later,
in the summer of 1918, the completion
of the celebrated Lotschberg railway
added further to the Importance of the
town.
The Simplon railway forms the in
ternational highway between the Lake
of Geneva and the Rhone valley and
Italy, and the Loetschberg line, con-
Meeting with the Simplon at Brig, has
brought the Rhone valley and the
Bernese Oberland in direct communi-
cation. There remained one other
Alpine pass, the Furka, which had no
train service. The Furka post road,
forty-two and one-half miles long,
runs from Brig to Andermatt, at the
foot of the Oberalap pass. From
Andermatt the Oberlap pass, practical
ly a continuation of the Furka road,
leads to Disentis, an ancient monastic
village with recently discovered radio
active mineral springs, a distance Of
eighteen miles
To cover this entire distance of
sixty and one-half miles requires 4
diligence journey of one day between
Brig and Andermatt and four and one
half hours between Andermatt and
Disentis, fascinating drive for the
tourist who is fortunate enough to be
able to travel with leisure, but often
out of the question for those who are
somewhat pressed for time. The con-
struction of railway to form the

Hats like that at the right appear
in soft blues, purples, pale gray or

Short Skirts.

Girls in rather short skirts, slightly
fuller but not really wide, are wearing
short, loose backed coats with turned
back collars and cuffs of fine lingerie
A small toque of straw and silk
trimmed with closely set flowers looks
very well with a costume of this kind
and high laced boots Of patent leather
and light cloth, or neat brown boots
look equally well. The foolishly high

"Sam Slick"


The term, Sam Slick, as designating
a typical Yankee, originated with one
Thomas c. Halliburton, former judge
in Canada, who used 1t to caricature
Americans. In 1885 or 1886, Juge Hall
burton contributed to weekly paper
In Nova Scotia series of articles pro-
Tossing to depict the peculiarities of
Yankee character, the hero of his sto-
ries being Sam Slick of Slickville. The
keen satire of the articles gave them
considerable popularity, and they were
published in book form entitled. "The
Clock Maker, or the Sayings and Do
ings of Sam Slick of Slickville." The
book was enjoyed by Englishmen and
even by some Americans for its racy
humor and satire, but cultured Ameri-
cans resented it as a gross caricature.
Professor FELTON,, himself a Massachu-
setts Yankee, and at one time presi-
dent of Harvard university, writing in
the North American Review, said:
"On this point we speak with some
confidence We can distinguish the
real from the counterfeit Yankee. at
the first sound of the voice, and by
the turn of single sentence; and We
have no hesitation in declaring that

connecting link between Brig and
Disentis came up for discussion a
number of years ago and the construc-
tion of the line was started in 1911.
On June 80, 1914, the inauguration of
the first section between Brig and
Gletsch took place, but four weeks
later, when the railroad was actually
ready for regular traffic, the European
war broke out and in view of the new
conditions it was decided that the line
should only be opened for the summer
season of 1915
Many Interesting Features.
The railway has steam traction. 1t
is narrow gauge line with rack and
pinion sections and possesses an
extraordinary number of interesting
features from an engineering point of
view. There are over fifty viaducts,
bridges and galleries, seven tunnels
and five loop tunnels. The total
length of the rack and pinion sections
is nineteen and one-half miles. 1t is
estimated that the cost of construc-
ton was over $7,600,000.
Those who take a delight in explor-
ing districts situated off the beaten
path will be particularly pleased with
the trip along the Rhone from Brig to
Gletsch, as it traverses part of the
country which may be termed un-
known Switzerland.
On leaving Brig, situated at an al
titude of 2,215 feet, the Furka rail
way first crosses a bridge over the
Rhone and almost Immediately reaches
the picturesque valley of Matters, a
considerable part of which is at pres
ent occupied by Italian tunnel work
ers. On one bank of the river runs the
Furka line and on the other the Sim
plon line, which presently enters into
the worlds longest tunnel 12A
miles).

trains is Morel a typical mountain

Usefulness In Growth,

Michet Angelo said: The more the
marble wastes. the more the statue
grows" 1t is painful to see the chisel
cut away the precious stone, but if
grace and beauty follow, the process
is worth while. Many of our losses
are only the chips of stone that must
fall away before the image of the Lord
appears in human life-The Watch.

These hats are types which one sees
repeated in transparent tulle or lace,
or in the most open and unsubstantial
of basket weaves. They bespeak oc-
casions that require more than simple
dress. They are gay with flowers or
the shapes themselves are indulgen-
cies in color, which may be anything
under the sun their wearers like and
can get hold of. For it is a cOlorful
summer and the devotees of fashion
have developed a fad for daring.
Certainly much white and black and
even more all-white is to be seen in
millinery worn with afternoon gowns
and in street and outing hats. But
fashion swings away and strikes the
other extreme with colors more varied
than the rainbow dreams of, when it
suits the fancy of those who love color
to indulge in 1t. ..,

Attractive Coats.

The little coats and Jackets designed
in many shapes are very attractive
above the full short skirt. Very often
these coatees are cut in loose sack
shape, hanging away from the waist
line in graceful effect. At other times
they are cut with ridiculously short
basques, sticking out round the
waist line, and they open wide in front
to display the daintiest of blouses.

upper edge. The plated skirt has a

striped eton' jacket is edged with a
crosswise four-inch band of the silk.

the right thing for all-round summer

valleys-two mall side valleys in this

keep cheeses of this kind for many
years as sort of family heirloom.
Specimens of them, some dating back

shown in the city hall of Fiesch.
Resort of OberwaId.
At an altitude of 4,497 feet the re-
sort of Oberwald is reached. 1t is
the furthest point to which the Furka
railway will run in winter. It is ex-
pected that Oberwald will later join
the circle of Swiss winter resorts, as
it's opportunities for skiing are par
ticularly favorable.
Gletsch is the present terminus Of
the Furka railway and the junction
of the Furka and Grimsel post roads.
The Grimsel, leading to Meiringen,
will in years to come also have it's
railway, but at present the diligence
still travels twice a day in each direc-
ton through that magnificent Alpine
pass.
-Gletsch, as it's name implies, Is
near the Glacier of the Rhone. In

cade is but half an hours walk from

Andermatt and Disentis, which has,
of course, to be made by diligence un-
til the railroad is completed, touches
many spots which have classic repute
for their beauty as well as for their
historic associations Realp, Hospen-
thai, Andermatt and further on the
quaint Grisons hamlets right to Di-

own which will help to make the

finest scenic railways in Switzerland.

Itinerant Who Said He Walked from
Bennington Persisted in Calling
for Food-Warned to Leave.

A man probably 50 years old, who
claimed to have walked yesterday from
Bennington, caused some excitement
in West Brattleboro late in the after
noon by his persistence in calling at
houses and asking for food. He was
given some at two of the houses and
stopped in front of them and ate what
had been given him. At one place
where a woman was in her yard he
stood and stared at her so long that
she became nervous and went into the
house. Selectman w. f. Stellman was
appealed to and ordered the man to
take the next car under penalty of ar
rest if he failed to do So He did
board the next ear, but some claimed
that he returned to the vicinity of the
Melrose hospital, accompanied by
another man. At the hospital it was
said this morning that they did not
see anything of such person.

Recognition of the imperative impor-

the Russian reverses and gaining the ini-

LITTLE GIRL IN LOVE.
Adeline, Weight $50, Who Had Henry
Woods Jewelry, in Court.

SPRINGFIELD Mass, August IL
Little Adeline, the fat girl, with all of
her $50 we'll advertised pounds, was
hauled to the police station yesterday
in the patient speed wagon when Act
ing Inspector Walter +. Goldrick ar
rested her ON charge of larceny. Ad-
cline B. LaFranee-that' s her full
name-has been exhibiting her pom
derous pulehritude in u North-end store
for about two weeks, along with man
billed as the only living human skele-
ton. While the exhibit has been IN
progress a romance has arisen. Adeline
admits, between her and Henry ),
Wood. Wood says that Adeline has
taken from him a ring, a charm and a
chatelaine pin, all valued at $50.
Adeline told the police that Wood
had made love to her and given heI
the iewelry. She was willing to give
up her jewels, she said, and accompanied
the police officer willingly. The police
estimate of her weight is 40 pounds
but the lurid posters call it $50 and nc
one has attempted to lift her, so the
higher figure is unchallenged.
