THE ART OF DRESS.
How Clothes Influence Character ano
Even Destinies.

The influence of clothes on human
destinies is enormous. We say ut is
not the cowl that makes the monk,
but that Is another erroneous proverb
Its stamp always remains and molds
the individual, body and soul, in GER
tain way. The prestige Of the cos
tune has great deal to do with the
sacerdotal or military vocation. Who
will ever know how much Mile. de
Montijo's dresses had to do with max
ing an empress Of her? She ordered
her dresses for Compiegne from Worth,
whose fame was just beginning, and,
according to her own expression they
were her "battle horse" On them she
won her victory, and we all know the
effects Of that victory.
"The death of a delightful man of
my acquaintance" declares Pierre de
Coulevain in one Of her sprightly books,
twas caused by hat being worn on
one side. One of his mothers friends
wanted him to marry pretty girl she
knew, who was very charming and
well off. He happened to be staying
at her house near Vernon when this
young protegee was going through on
her way to Rouen.
anxious for her guest to see the
girl, she persuaded him to go to the
station with her, He went, saw the
girl; but, alas, she had her hat on one
side, In the most comical way possible.
It was no doubt one Of those odious
hats, so badly balanced that no pin in
the world could keep them straight.
The harm was done. though. He ncv
err dared tell his mothers friend what
his objection to the girl had been. He
owned it to me later ON, adding, "
should always have seen her li'"
that"
Imagination plays tricks en- Frcpr'
men as ii dc'S ON no other men. VhiS
one married another airl who wore
her hats straight. but who"o head Vas
rather turned.
The marriage ended in divorce and
the divorce in sudden death, such s'G
den death that it was generally lr.
lieved to have been suicide.

FINAL NUMBER OF CENTURY
COURSE BIG SUCCESS.

The fourth and final number on the
lecture course of the Century Club held
on Thursday night in the Opera House,
"The Pierces, Dramatic Artists was
greeted by an enthusiastic and full
house. 1.-THE Pierces" proved to be
even more than had been claimed for
them, and the audience was delighted
with the wonderful mpersonating
ability of the dramatists throughout the
entire program. OF the selections given
it would be hard to say which were
best, as they were all so entertainingly
rendered. Their repertoire included
scenes from famous literature, child
studies, studies in elderly people and
short plays of various sorts, and they
seemed equally athome all. Mrs. Pierce
in her "child study" and Mr.. Pierce in
1.-THE Lawyers Advice" were perhaps
the cleverest and most remarkable bits
of impersonation.
The Lyceum Bureau has again out
done itself and Middlebury is again en-
thusiastic over the numbers that have
been presented during the year.

IL will mean a serious situation in the
Vermont State Prison and the House
Of Correction If Congress passes pend
ing legislation forbidding Interstate
commerce in prison manufactures The
present industries at both Windsor and
Rutland would have to be given up, and
how to keep the prisoners out Of idle
ness, which is the curse they most
dread would be a difficult problem.
Plants and machinery which the State
has provided would be rendered useless
Working on roads is impractical during
Vermont winters and adequate super
vision of outside labor is expensive,
Our representatives will stand for the
interests of Vermont and her pri 'oners
if they oppose the threatened legisla-
ton.

Taxable personal -

The law has some rigid requirements
which may cause some embarrassment
For example, the statement of Indebted
ness must include the name and address
of the creditor, the amount and rate of
interest. The listers must forthwith
send this information to the creditor
and also to the listers of the town where
the creditor resides, if it be in Vermont.
The supposition is that the listers of the
creditors town will look over his list in
the light of this information.
If the debts are owing to persons
without the State, sworn statement
by the creditor must be submitted by
the person claiming the offset.
Only half the net indebtedness is al
lowed in offset, and no offset in excess
of $1,000 can be allowed.
Another new feature of the tax laws
is that bank stock is appraised by a
State Board Of appraisers. The value
of bank stock for taxation purposes is
certified to the listers in every town,
and this value must be used.

TAXATION MATTERS,

Commissioner of Taxes, CHARLES A.
Plumley announces meetings for the
instruction of town listers in ten places
in the State from March l6 to March 80
Those in this vicinity are Rutland, We'd
nesday, March %, at the Shrine Hail.
aud Burlington, Thursday, March %,
at City Hall. Listers are required by
statute to attend the meeting most con-
venient for them.
The greatest change in the tax laws
this year is in respect to offsets, The
new law is not the old plan of offsets,
but allows a deduction of one-hali the
debts owing less the value of property
legally exempted. A taxpayer who
has debts of $1,000, but who has $1,000 in
a Vermont savings bank, or who has
loaned $1,000 at per cent on Vermont
mortgage, will find he has no offsett at
all. The attempt is to tax the actual
excess of assets over liabilities, figur-
ing in the assets any property on which
the State grants exemption.
The matter may be made clear by an
example taken from the Tax Depart
ment's Bulletin No. Z.
Find the taxable personal estate Of
merchant whose stock of goods is valued
at $40, 900; mortgages on which money
was loaned at 5 per cent, $4,000; savings
