our three superior courts, the last SeS
sion of the Legislature having estab-
lished one in Androscoggin county. In
introducing Judge Bean President
Carleton said:
It is pleasure to see running in
families a strong love for a certain
calling, and naturally it gives US the
pleasure when that calling Is the law
when successive generations follow
that high road. In our bar we have a
family where three successive gener-
ations have been it's members. first
the grandfather and son being asso-
ciated as partners, then the son and
his son, the grandson. the original
partnership name Beane & Beane con-
tinuing.
The grandfather was an honored
Judge OF our probate court. the son Is
now the honored Judge Of our superb
or court and is the dean Of the three
superior courts in this state.
His conduct as an advocate and
member of our Bar was marked with
sound Judgment, ability. courtesy and
fairness and these he took with him
to the Bench and has since display
ed them as Judge. He has the sin
cere respect and affection Of all the
Kenneeec Bar and Of those who come
before him. 1t Is with pleasure that I

Among new details worth noting is
the fact that high collars are insist"

models, or, as an alternative, a trans

twisted as desired.
Some new jerseys are being
brought out. and are decidedly more
decorative than any seen so far; and.
though they possess a certain amount
OF attraction, with their straight
panel fronts and odd little bits OF
darned embroidery, yet 1t is not likely
that they will, in any way, supersede
the more severe type, so long and so
firmly approved. In these latest ex-
amples, emanating from Paris. the
main lines are retained, with the
same loose, STRENGTHENING large pock-
etc. The difference consists Of little
touches of decoration, lines OF en-
broidery running along a hem, or
bordering lapel. These are gen.
orally in jersey tricot, and, adjoining
those with straight panel fronts, may
be seen series of military froggings,
in silk soutache. In another instance,
the sides of a coat will be cut above
the waistline, and set in again,
slightly full, then completed with tiny
silken tassels. There are many dis
tinctive ways OF varying or embroid-

Curtains come in every imaginable

cry of failing dye-pots. Very good

SUGGESTIONS FOR
CHIC FALL EFFECTS.

Belts and sashes play large part
in the fall fashions, two kinds OF
ceinture being in high favor with
women-the loose Fedora sash,
which gives a long line in front, and
the very wide, straight waistband,
which lends a boyish aspect to tan
and slender figures,
Stout women should never in any
circumstances wear wide waist
belts. This is hard and fast rule,
but on slender girls they are dis
tinctly attractive.
Some belts are fastened in front
by handsome cabochons worked
over with colored beads; others are
inset with squares Of glove-like kid
and embroidered or beaded quite
deliberately. In all cases these wide
belts are loose enough to give the
natural waist outline.
