Exposure of the silk petticoat swindle
has put the quietus on the dazzling
dreams of a good many high school girls
in Barre and not a few OF the mothers
and spinsters are remaining discreetly
quiet whenever neighborhood talk drifts
into petticoat channels. A Maple avenue
Walt Mason, having smote his blooming
Tyre, gives vent to the following lyric in
the vers libre style; "In Main street and
in Plain setreet and Pleasant street az
well, mention silk petticoats and"
anyhow, the reception you get is some
thin fierce. People who laid down their |
dimes and even went to tn pains OF in
viting five friends to MAXI the same out |
Law may be interested to learn that fed |
eral officers are looking sharply for the |
men connected with the so.called Ma !
tional Brokerage Exchange. A room in a !
Minneapolis business block was sudden
ly vacated one day last week. the au
thorities say, although thousands of let
tiers, each containing 10 cents, are pour
