comes a more interesting test of

A winter coat of heavy wool velour
with fur bandings is anything but a
novelty these frosty days, but the
designer of the coat pictured here has
discovered two new wrinkles in the
way Of coat making-the flaring skirt
and a fur cuff that extends from the
knuckle of the hand to the elbow.
The flare. welcome change from the
long straight line of the universal sill
houette, is achieved by the cut at the
waistline, and by generous fullness
held smoothly in check by a fitted
piece over the hips.
The deep, graceful cuffs reach al
most from the finger-tip to the elbow
of the outer arm.

Theater and dancing enga acsments
make an evening coat an essential of
the society woman's wardrobe. The
attractive model shown in the photo
graph is unusually handsome and rich
in effect. The coat itself is of a ma
tcrial called panameN. a sort of silk
velvet with a slightly corded effect.
The cape collar, cuffs and band at
the bottom of the coat are kerami
polar bear. Where the fur joins the
material at the back the points which
seem TO have been the first idea Of the
designer are blunted by an overhang-
ing triangle of the velvet ending with
a huge tassel of silk and chenille on
which a few large pearl beads are
threaded.

Here is a veil to fire the feminine

Although their richness and the
smart little Russian hat betokens the
eastern origin OF these Christmas
furs, they were sent out by a London
designer. The coat is Of moleskin
and the trimmings are smoked fur
grayish black tinge that combines
well with other smooth, soft-haired
furs, and with velvet.
The Russian hat Of silk is heavily
embroidered and beaded with shell
and wooden chains in brilliant colors
and is in effective contrast with the
subdued hues of the coat.

The turkey is not entitled to all
the attention OF the hostess and
guests at the Thanksgiving feast.
He must share honors with the lowly
vegetable, for Thanksgiving is es-
sentially a harvest festival and the
fruits of the garden should literally
flank the kingly brown bird.
Autumn vegetables such as onions,
carrots. beets, turnips, potatoes and
squash are especially appropriate.
The salad too is an important bit
of the menu and usually commands
the honor of separate course.
Jellies and tart sauces are desirable
accomplishments of the rich and
heavy meal and a few recipes for
each of these necessities are ap-
pended.

At special meeting of the South

Ing, q report was made BY the COMMITTEES
on iignt rates regarding . proposition
advanced by the Oxford Electric Co. 70
the committee. This was In brief tina,
the company will make q rate of eleven

complaint now pending before the Pub

tion that no collector shall be sent ont
oy the company, but that place will be
provided In Market Square where the
Paris bills may be paid, and that con.
sumers must attend to the payment OF
their bills themselves.
After this report of the committee had
been presented to the Board of Trade,
the matter was talked over q little In
formally, and q unanimous vote was
taken to accept the proposition of the
company and withdraw the complaint
now before the Public Utilities Commits.
sion.
1t will be remembered that since the
installation Of meters on the system In
South Paris and Norway, the rate for
lights has been fifteen cents per kilowatt
hour. The citizens of South Paris feel
Ing that this rate was too high, acted
through the Board of Trade to secure q
reduction. A committee was appointed,
which presented complaint In proper
form to the Public. Utilities Commits
sion. Soon after, at the instance of the
Oxford Electric Co., conference was
held between the committee and officials
OF the company, at which the latter
made an offer to give twelve-cent rate
If proceedings we're discontinued. This
proposition was presented to the Board
of Trade, which sfterward, at q largely
attended meeting, voted not to accept it,
but to make counter offer of ten cents
and half.
The company on the fret of April act
uaily made q reduction to q. rate of
twelve cents, which has since been in
force, but declined the proposition Of
the Board of Trade to make the rate ten
and half cents, and action under the
complaint proceeded, q hearing being
held by the Public Utilities Commission
at the court house q few weeks since.
Now in order to complete the case for
the consideration of the commission, 1t
was necessary for the company to file q
quantity of financial data with the COM
mission, and this would require the COM
pany to make physical valuation of the
Mechanic Falls plant, now connect ed
with the plant here. This the company
say would cost them somewhere from
five to seven thousand dollars, and rather
than 60 to that expense they would prefer
to make the reduction to eleven cents
fiat. As the Board of Trade took the
view that the cost of taking the valu-
alton would eventually come out OF the
consumers, it was deemed best to accept
the company's proposition.
The complaint now before the Public
Utilities Commission will be withdrawn,
but there 10 nothing to prevent another
being filed at any time, II thought sdvis-
able.
