VAGABOND FASHION TURNS BACK IN ITS FLIGHT TO THE
 STYLES OF YESTERYEAR

and soft taffeta are seen in the smartest advance "podels' and a great deal of bead trimming is used, also, as well as gorgeous, lovely. enchanting ribbons
 Although there is a decided tendency toward the very full skirts, these are charmingly modified by accordion plaitings which cling gracefully to the figure and make the gown have the appearance of being narrow.
 In the matter of lingerie frocks' we find the fluffy, frilly, lovely things pre- dominant; sounding the old fashion note of the long ago
 Perhaps the best idea of the early summer morning costumes may be con veyed by a description of a certain linen skirt played against a blouse of

tricks; we laugh at them; we try them; we accept them and then come to love them no matter how old fash toned they appear at first, and differ ent from the things We used to like.
 Everything, either in dressy evening frocks, dinner gowns, tailor mades or morning costumes, tends toward simple lines, and the charm of the spring gown will be it's cut and it's cleverness from the tailors and the couturiere's standpoint; their art alone can make it simple yet beautiful

The authority of the linen is shown by panel in the back of the voile waist together with a vest which buttons over frilled net guimpe. The entire combination hides its in genuity under charming simplicity of guise.
 As for tailor mades" they are won derfully and fearfully made.

the mere skipping through the shops these first days of the commercial spring Justifies the hint that has been given.
 Of course there is still confusion; there is, one might say, chaos; there is anxiety about the width and the length of the skirts; "Callot" says they must be longer and wider; "Cheruit'' says, shorter and narrower; but that need not bother us, flor all the powers that be have gotten together and issued an ultimatum and by that we will abide
 The truth is, the short skirt has become conspicuously common, but short skirts will undoubtedly continue; because the "modishes" say they must, and every woman who can possibly answer Pres ent' will be at the roll call' to give her approval of what has gone forth
 Dressy gowns will be lovlier than ever this season; white, will be the keynote, although gray is very dominant, bidding hard for first place
 White marquisettes white voiles, white chiffon cloths-all will be the smart thing in gowns this spring and summer.
 Taffetas will be used in great profuson and none will be quite modsh unless a touch of velvet is used on the taffeta gown.
 Wonderful combinations of chiffon cloth

The coats may be divided into three classes like the three bears" in the fairy story; big ones, little ones and middle sized ones.
 There are cunning little short waisted grandma "dolmans" (when have you heard that word before?) that ripple to the waist line and not an inch fur ther; there are the long redingotes like we had in the winter that close you tightly and "longly" in, from neck to toe, from chin to hem then there is the 36 or 3S length affair, coming just

NEW HOSIERY

The new hosiery is a joy to any woman, which also comes to please almost any taste, for the solid colored hose is in as good taste as is the plaid striped or fancy open worked ones.

 Then again there is the long coat attached to the skirt that looks like a short one; it is deceiving and therefore interesting
 It's all a thrill and an excitement these days to be sure in the fashion marts.
 Absurd? Not at all; there is noth- ing so delightful as variety, and fashion furnishes us that; we scoff at her little

Hat from LOveman. Joseph X LOebs
 Spring clothes like the heroine of the melo-drama, always come out in the dead of winter, usually in a snowstorm.
 Perhaps the first spring and summer offerings-in the very middle of F'eb- ruary-may not impose our entire clothes sentence" for the year of 1916-at the same tune they are a very reliable ihdi- cation of just what will be worn and what won't
 This season, for instance, we see vaga- bond Fashion turning from her spent and exhausted walks though bypaths and on the great high road looking for, not whom sine may devour-but what, in the way of giving my lady some thing brand new to wear
 This season, indicated earlier in the winter by the frocks and bonnets marks one of those relapses of fashion which come about possibly every decade, and

ought to know, and he said he did not

ought to know, and he said he did not know of any such buttons"
 Do you know whether there was a plan to have the faces of MT. Hughes. MT. Taft, and MT. Roosevelt on themT' MT. Willcpx was asked.
 Tt is foolish to have buttons with three pictures on them," he replied.
 MT. Wilcox was asked about the general arrangements for the recep- tion and he said:
 T told you all the facts about that the other day. I am a member of the club and I am to be at the reception. The Colonel is going to be at the re- ception. There is nothing unusual in this. It was suggested that the mem bers of the club would like to have the two former Presidents there. There i- nothing sensational about it." ,,
 MT. Wilcox was asked if MT. Barnes was going to be present.
 MT. Barnes is a member of the club.r he said, but I don't know whether he will be there or not"
 No Buttons, Says wilcox.
 Asked if Colonel Roosevelt had pro- tested to him orally or in writing about the button affair, Mir. Wilcox said:
 "All can say to you about it is that I had no telephone message, or any message, sent to me by anybody from him."
 Mr. Wilcox the next moment ad- mitted that the Colonels secretary had come to him about the matter, but, he said, he had told him he had just heard from a member of the club that there were to be no such buttons.

WARBURC SAYS GOLD EXPORTS
 WILL BE HUGE
Vice Governor of Federal Reserve Board Sees Con-
 ditionss After War;

/ Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 30-"Heavy exports of gold from this country to Europe may follow the close of the European war;" said Paul M. War burg, vice-governor of the Federal Reserve Board, in his address before the American Bankers association here yesterday.
 Foreign loans in the old and new world may attract our capital at in. terest rates far in excess of our own, he said. "Our exports will have tc meet the keen competition of other nations< while the purchasing power of many a nation will be found ma- terially reduced, even though in the beginning there Yill be a strong de- mand for certain of our raw ma- terials.
 These conditions, in the long run may be the cause of heavy gold ex- ports from the Unitedy States and if we remain unprepared may prove a serious check. If, on the other hand we forearm, we will be given the op- portunity of, taking our place as the strongest of the worlds bankers and furnish the basis of g solid exps nsion Ol OuI
 MT. Warburg appealed to the bank CTS to forearm by increasing their balances with the Federal Reserve banks and releasing some of the gold in their vaults. Keep all the gold inv our vaults where it is useless for yourselves and deprive it of the addi- tional force that it may gain in the hands of the Federal Reserve banks, keep every cash till in hotels, dry goods stores and fhat not filled with gold certificates and you will rob the country of~its legitimate opportuni- ties of growth, of helping the world
 He cited figures to show that the excess lending power of the Federal Reserve banks is s2O6, 900 if loans are taken in "lawful' money, and S5O1,525,250 if the loans are taken in Federal Reserve notes. He advocated speedy retirement of national bank notes in favor of Federal Reserve notes in order to obtain a Currency that is elastic"
 The Federal Reserve act should be perfected, he said. in various details, although he was profoundly convinc- ed that the Federal Reserve act will prove one of the most constructive ever made by Congress and the furtheY the system develops the more apparent this will become."

FESTIVAL OF THE ROSARY

This Sunday will witness the cele- bration of the Catholic feast known as the Festival of the Rosary. This ser ies of prayers called the rosary, which, for the convenience of worshippers are counted on strings of beads, had its origin in the sixteenth century, dur ing the reign of St. Plus V. The vic- tory over the Turks at Lepanto, which put and end to the threat of Moslem domination of Europew as believed to have been obtained through the in- tercession of the Virgin Mary, and Pope Plus ", ordered an annual thanksgiving commemoration under the title>of St. Mary de Victoria. His successor Gregory KILL, changed the titlf to Festival of the Rosary which has ever since been observed on the first of October. The victory of Prince Eugene over the Turks at Bel grade. in 1716, was ordered by Pope Clement XIII, to be included in the benefits which this festival commem- crates.

Miss slattery Is
 Impressive Speaker

In spite of the excellent array of speakers and specialists that. have been procured to aecist in the Con- necticut Sunday School convention, which will be held in this city soon, there is one figure that is bound to be predominant in the minds of those who attend the sessions She is slightly built woman, who at hrst glance would not necessarily impress the casual person, but when Miss Mar garet Slattery begins to speak the hrst impressions dissolve. There Is won derful magnetism in her personality Perhaps it is the unconcealed ana un- conQuerable earnestness that is evident in her voice and manner, but what ever it is, it has made her recognized as the foremost woman speaker on Sunday school work in the country. For several years principal of the Fitchburg Normal College, she gave up her work there in, order to act as disciple and apostle in religious edu- cation. Later. she became the head of the teacher training work in Congre- gational Sunday school work, and at the present time is acting independ- ently, featuring and writing. She still continues as associte editor of the Pill grim Press Tea cher. Her books, Talks with the Training Glass; ''The Charm of the Impossible" Just Over the Hill.'' 'The Teachers Candlestick." and others have proven interesting and authentic studies of various fea- lures in religious study.
 As a lecturer she is familiar to all Sunday school workers. For eleven years she was the chief speaker in the Northfield Summer school, and some of the greatest conventions have found themselves fortunate in procuring her for addresses At the great Interna- tional Sunday School convention which was held in Medina Temple in Chicago, 1914 she spoke among some of the-greatest orators of the middle West, holding her audiences wonder fully in the big auditorium.
 At the convention here she will speak at each session. The first ad- dress will be in the morning on No- vepber 1. her subject being '"The Door of Opportunity" In the evening she will fspeak on Emerging from the Chrysalis' On the following evening, her topic will be ThetPivotal Point" and at the last session on the evening of November 3, she has chosen "The Call of the Church to the Youth of Our Day"

PROF. M'MAKON FAv0RS WILSON
 FOR PRESIDENT
Cornell Instructor Gives Reasons Why Executive
 Should Be Returned.

Professor James McMahon, who oc- cupies the chair of mathematics at Cornell University, in a statement an- nouncing his intentions to support President Wilson, gives the following terse and impressive reasons: 'I fla vor the reelection of President Will son because his administration, in a great world crisis, has maintained single-handed and alone among the governments of the world the great principles of international law and the rights of neutrals on the high seas and elsewhere, and has accomplished this statesmanlike act in the face of determined opposition at home and abroad and in spite of the manoeuver- ings' of political opponents who were willing to play politics in a crisis in- volving far-reaching principles.
 Because his administration took a forward step on refusing recognition to an unprincipled adventurer who had seized the government of Mexico and who was maintaining himself in power by assassination. The old method of granting the recognition and support of the United States to any successful rebel was a direct en- couragement of revolutionary ( out pItdhS, anu IL was UlSH IlIl0 to Ill., troduce some new principle Of action.
 Because the many constructive and forward looking achievements in leg 1slation during the present administra- tion as well as its enlightened Amer icanism have made powerful enemies who are determined to punish MT Wilson at the polls and because his political opponents are evidently de- sirous of profiting by this resentment This fact alone should lead independ- ent and progressive thinkers who are not tied to a party name to rally to our Presidents support"
 Professor Dexter Perkins and Pro- lessor Lawrence B. Packard, both of the department of history at the Uni versity of Rochester, also have an- nounced their decision to support President Wilson. Both declafe that Candidate Hughes is 'conducting a campaign wholly lacking any con- structive program, and endorse Pres ident Wilson's treatment of the rat.- road crisis.

Berlin Criticises
 American Airmen
 With Allied Army

Berlin, Sept. >80.-Virtually all the Berlin newspapers contribute to the bitter criticism which is being made of the Americans who havS joined the French army. The news of the death in action of light Lieut.. Kiffen Rock well has precipitated a storm Of crit icism. The Post says that the pres ence of Rockwell and others in enemy camps cannot be regarded as the acts of individuals but declares that Ame' !ca sends it's own citizens to the Euro- pean theatres of war to fight Ger many. The paper says that the Rockwell incident shows to what depth regard for neutrality has sunk among our enemies in America. Such an unheard of conception of neutrality deserves to be labelled in the plainest way and not to be forgotten" says the a article.

COLONEL "CANS" TAFT BUTTONS
 AT BIG PARTY
Won't Stand For His Pic
 ture Along With Taft and Hughes.

New York. Sept. 30-Col Theodore Roosevelt left town last night to speak at Battle Creek, Mich., feeling per- turbed about his part in the reception to be given next Tuesday night at the Union League club to Charles B Hughes. When the Colonel learned that an order had been given to SUD- ply the reception committee with but tons having his pictures of himself William H. Taft and MT. Hughes to- gether, he was angry.
 Before leaving for the West he told friends that he had no intention to make the affair a get-together meeting between himself and Mr.. Taft. He said he would be present Oily because he was an honorary member of the club and wanted to make the recep- ton to MT. Hughes success. The Colonel was quoted by one of his close friends as saying: T
 q will make no advances to shake hands with MT. Taft. I will be in the receiving line and vii shake hands with MT. Taft only in the same man ner that I did at Professor Louns- bury's funeral in New Haven. l would do the same thing with MT. Barnes, or with Mr. Root, if they were in line.
 Thinks Pictures Outrageous"
 "This attempt to make it reconcilia- ton meeting between myself and MT. Taft. is all wrong. The reception is to be given to MT. Hughes, and that is the only reason am going to be pres ent. I do not want my picture to ap-
 
 of MT. Hughes and MT. Taft. I think suh an arrangement is outrageous. It is simpy a scheme to becloud the is- sues."
 The Colonel was asked regarding MT. Hughes chance for election and he said:
 'Five-s -sixths of the Progressives in this country are for MT. Hughes. Believe he will be elected"
 Don't you wish to make it little stronger ?" the Colonel was asked.
 That's all I care to say" was his reply.
 Those having charge of the recep- tion have made 1t appear that it was not to be so much reception to the Presidential candidate as it was to be a peace fest between the Colonel and MT. Taft. MT. Roosevelt, his friends said. accepted the invita- ton to be present on, the understand ing that while some of his old political enemies might be there, it was to be simply a reception to Mir. Hughes.
 Protests to Wilcox.
 When the Colonel learned of the program and that but tons were to be worn by the reception committee containing Roosevelt-Taft- Hughes pictures, he dictated a red-hot letter to William k. Wilcox, chairman of the Republican national committee. protesting against it. The Colonel had to each a o'clock train for Michigan and did not have time to finish the letter, but he asked his secretary, w. J. Hayes, to call on MT. Wilcox and tell him of his real sentiments.
 Secretary Hayes tried to deliver his message, but Mir. Wilcox cut him short by telling him and had heard all about the buttons and did not want to go into the matter any further, Later MT. Wilcox was asked about the but tons, and he said:
 "Oh, yes, about those buttons. I, heard that story today. I called up one of the members of the club who

Bernstein nev- CT held championship, although he. was out in the front rank in his division for several years. Joe and Dave fought three 25-round draws in 1899. but in that year Bernstein lost a 25-round deision to George Dixon, and was also defeated over the same route by Terry McGovern.

Two Autos damned
 Between Curb and I Connecticut Go. Car

The scuth side of Fairfield avenue, in front of The Farmer office isn't wide enough to let a trolley car and two automobiles pass abreast. This was demonstrated this morning when automobiles owned by R. T. Rock and George H. Moorey, and one of 1916 model Connecticut Co. touring cars, got all tangled up. The running gear of both autos was damaged, and the front axle of MT. Moorey's car was sprung. The trolley wasn't bothered to any extent.
 A tie-up in traffic resulted, clearing up when a couple of husktes from Marsh's safe store trotted out with heavy planking and pried the autos apart.
