Cream Tones Are to Be the Craze .
of Fashionable Women This Season
Filet Lace Is Seen Frequently Among New Gowns-t
Trims Collar and Provides Deep Cuffs
Black Hat Desirable.

Cream tones are to be the craze
during the coming summer. Cream
color is an elastic term, including
various shades between one not quite
white TO one which barely escapes
being yellow. A beautiful gown in
cream hued net and .filet lace has a
skirt, dipping at sides und back,
which is banded about the nips' base
with a self-ruffle headed by broad
putting. Almost to the top Of that
putting falls deeper fiounce. starting
at the waist and fiattened by broad
strip of flet. This ~laee strip, ex-
tending to the skirts hem, forms a
full length back panel, partly con-
cealed by the short ends of sash in
king blue MORE ribbon, which. al
though broadly encircling the waist,
is so low-dropped that long lines are
given to the upper portion of the
figure
Bands of feet starting at the. neck
end of the shoulders, cross on the bust
and run under the arms to meet low
ut the back, where they simulate a
bodice on the blouse, whose plainly
set-in sleeves stop at the elbows under
bands of putting. Viewed from the
rear, these short sleeves are contra
d;cted by a collar SO high that it's
upper edge comes we'll above the hair
line, while its lower limit comes
several inches below the neck's line.
Made of two distinct frills, which
merely touch at back center, the col
lar covers the neck only as far as the
ears, ends on the shoulders and ex-
poses the throat above the bodice's v
decolletage.

MANTELL AT PARSONS
ALL THIS WEEK

Robert b. Manteil's success with
king john" with which he will open
his weeks engagement at the Par
sens theater, Hartford, this evening,
has led lovers of Shakespeare to- sug-
gest to him the revival of the other
historical dramas seldom attempted
on the stage. The first suggestion
came from u Chicago critic who
wished Mr.. Mantell to put on sue
cessively all of the historical plays In
some one large city, such as Chicago.
Philadelphia, Boston Or New York
during one entire season. These plays
of Shakespeare form practically
complete conspectus of English his
tory from the time of King John to
that Of Henry VIII, the father of
Qusen Elizabeth, in whose reign
Shakespeare produced a great part
of his work Others have joined In
the suggestion and MIR. Manteii has
taken the matter under serious con-
sideration. This experiment was
made in England half a century ago
by Samuel Phelps, manager OF the ia
NOUS Sadler's Wells theater, who re-
yived all of Shakespeares plays, tex-
cept four, and made a fortune at the
venture. The program for this week

STUDENTS EARN WAY

$37.146.
Work for 2.oo7 Obtained by Bureau o.

Year.

New Haven.-Yale students who
worked their way through college last
year earned total of $31 l46.SS in
positions obtained for them by the bu
reau of appointments of Yale univer.
sity, according to the first report OF
that bureau.
During the year the bureau assist.
ed 600 students who applied for work.
In the cases of three-fourths of the
men applying the bureau provided for
work and scholarship aid sufficient to
make the assets for the year equal to
the total necessary expenses.
Typewrting and stenographic work
furnished the most profitable means
of employment and the newspaper bu.
reau brought good results. Owing to
the discussion that arose concern
ing tutoring this means was not
pushed vigorously. Next year, ac-
Cording to arrangements made by the
faculty, there will be a regular tutor
ing school attached to the university.

of 2,007 jobs were given out during the
nine months of the university year,
from which the men reported total
earnings of $l9,646.SS, and It's posi-
tions were furnished for students for
the summer, from which the est.
mated total income is $l7,500.
This, of course, does not include the
work which they have continued on
jobs obtained through the bureau in
previous years, or the earnings from
the large amount of work which men
have found for themselves about the
city. On the basis of this compute.

WOULD HELP FARMER
Government Plans TO Mortgage
Forests Future Income.
viii Ask Congress to Advance Money
for Public Works in Order to
Stimulate Agricultural
Development.

Washington.-The secretary of agri-
cultures plan to anticipate future re-
ceipts from the national forests by
securing an advance of money from
congress for the construction of roads,
trails, bridges. and other public works
would stimulate agricultural develop
ment and would relieve many strug-
CLING communities from their present
burdens of taxation, says an article
contributed by the chief of the forest
service to the department of agricul-
ture year book, just issued. This pol
icy, says the article, would apply ex-
cluSively in those counties where there
is considerable area of national for
est land so located that the forest re-
sources cannot be marketed, al
though later they will yield a large
revenue. 1t would fully meet the To-
cal difficulties arising from the fact
that the national forests are not sub
ject to taxation; would aid in the pro.
lection and development of the for
est resources, and would remove the
Oilt DoI ltI II III ii lew plates pre-
vents farmers from Immediately en-
joying the benefits of the national for
ests.
Millions of acres of farm land are
today undeveloped because of lack
of good roads. In opening any new
country road building constitutes
hard problem for the settlers. At first,
while the settler is struggling to
erect his home and farm buildings
and to clear his land, he usually can
not afford to pay high taxes or other
wise contribute toward the expense of
road building The national forests
comprise the remotest and least set
tied regions of the country. In many
cases farming in these localities is
still pioneering, under as difficult con.
ditions as have ever existed in the
United States. One of the principal
reasons for the failure to develop the
large areas of excellent agricultural
land which lie near the forests is the
lack of roads.
The government is trying to meet
this problem in two ways, first, by
public improvements being made on
the national forests, and second by
the direct contribution to the coun.
ties Of a share in the forest receipts.
Up to date the forest service has con.
structed on the forests more than
900 miles OF roads, $1,000 miles of
trails nearly coo bridges, and $4,000
miles of telephone lines. Every one
of these improvements benefits set
tiers and ranchers. In addition there
is appropriated annually for the use of
the counties in which the national for.
ests lie 20 per cent of the gross c.
ceipts from timber sales and other
sources, to be used for road and
school purposes. Some of the indi.
vidual forests are bringing in over
100000 a year, and the business of
the entire national forest system is
increasing so that this direct contribu
ton TO community upbuilding is rap.
idly growing. In fact, already a total
of nearly $500 900 is obtained from the
forests every year for county, road and
school purposes.
