Some negligees cOntrive to be sim pie and dignified, as well as pretty they have "a grace in being gay.". Here Is an example of a negligee that Is as easy and comfortable as ki- mono, presentable outside ones own room and very easy to make for the capable woman who does her own sewing. It has an accordion plaited skirt of thin, light-colored silk and a pretty coat of crepe geOrgette or chif- fOn cloth.
 The skirt is straight and rather mar row and hangs from a very short un- derbOdice, making a high waist line. The skirt and bodice are set together with narrow beading, which is pretty when crocheted of silk thread, like the skirt in color. Black velvet baby rib bon, run through two rows of the front and has hanging ends. This touch of black is effective on all the light cOlors used for the gay and love ly house gowns.
 The slipoyer coat is long at the back and has kimOnO sleeves. A vestee is suggested by the short, pointed front. All the seams are hem-stitched and a hem, put in with this stitching, fur eaishes a simple decorative border for livery edge. This method of putting together blouses, bodices and negligee coats simplifies matters for the home dressmaker because all she needs do is to baste in seams and hens and turn the garment over to the prOfes- siOnal hemstitcher.

Sleeveless Sweater.

The sleeveless sweater is a great success. Everybody who has knitted this type of sweater for the Red Cross, according to specifications, knows that in one guise it must fill real want. And then there are the purely frivo- lOus sleeveless sweaters of silk and wool, in gay colors, sometimes bor- dered around the neck and armholes and lower edge with a narrow band of angOra. The sleeveless sweater is usu- ally of the slip-over style, that is pulled on and off over the head.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Nov 22.-President Wilson's Labor Mediation Commission, one of whose members. Werner Z. Reed of Denver is here, has mapped out an ambitious pro gram for the settlement of la bor differences in the western states from the Mexican 10 the Canadian line. Every phase of unrest which is delaying llr- gent government work along the coast will be gone into.
 The remaining members of the commission, which is head ed by Secretary Wilson of the department of labor, are ex- pected here in a few days time. Their program includes media tion of industrial differences in the e-Miami Copper and other districts of Arizona, and Southern California before they arrive in this city.
 After reviewing the labor situation in San Francisco and endeavoring to compose all labor differences that have not been composed by MT. Reed, and the federal shipbuilding wage adjustment board, which is also here, the commission ex- poets to go to the lumber and logging regions of the north west.
 The work of the commission is to see specifically that the supply of minerals and timber included in the emergency shipbuilding and other con- struction programs of the gov

Walk CT, president of the Illinois state federation of labor, and a representative of capital in the person of Col. John l.. Spang- Ter, who has big coal mining interests in Pennsylvania.
 Two working miners accom- pany the commission for it's Arizona work, and a staff of stenogTaphers and assistant secretaries is also carried.
 In addition to mediating strikes the commission is aid ing the Arizona mine owners in securing necessary oil and timber supplies. It will con- tinue this policy wherever the mines or mills, and the neces- sary supply sources for these concerns need to be brought closer together.

Prohibition in Disguise.
bloomington Banner.)

Having failed to make Vermont pro
hibition by means Of the Perry bill
last winter certain prohibition adVo-
Gates are now seeking to accomplish
the same result by indirect means
Among these indirect schemes are the
Hunt bill, the county option bill, the
bill to raise the second class license
fee to $4,000 and other drastic bills
from the dry partisans. Now the facts
in the ease are that Vermont voted
overwhelmingly for local option in
stead of prohibition after a fair trial
of both-because the voters had found
out that no progress for temperance
could be made under prohibition, but
that the temperance cause did advance
n little under local option. In other
words the temperance men of Vermont
supported local option last March as
the best available temperance measure
Temperance men in the state and in the
legislature should beware of the bills
which appear at Montpelier with much
the same backing that the Perry bill
had two years ago. They are seeking
to do by indirect, underhand means
what the state openly and honorably
refused to do.

STATEMENT BY MIR. GUnFORD
Husband of Former Brattleboro Re-
treat Patient Writes.

Z. f. Guilford of North Adams
Mass, writes to the Springfield Re
publican as follows:
Gas the husband of Mrs. Hattie
Guilford, whose name has been prom
inently connected with the proposed in
vestigation of the retreat for the in
sane in Brattlcboro, VT, | desire to
contradict certain statements regard
ing the matter that have appeared in
your paper. In your issue OF February
it is stated that the nurse accused
of having beaten Mrs. GuilfOrd, later
came to Pownal with her and spent
several weeks at her home. This is I'M
true. The nurse who came had nothing
to do with the care OF Mrs. Guilford
while she was at Brattlohoro, but was
engaged at an entirely different part of
the institution. | wish also to state
that Mrs. Guilford denies that she ever
assaulted the nurse who attended her,
but says she tried to prevent the nurse
from taking some of her property from
her room in the retreat. Following
this attempt Mrs. Guilford says she
was beaten by the nurse.
"The statement by an officer of the
institution to the effect that the alleged
treatment of Mrs. Guilford is lie.
also resent and | will add that | have
reason to believe many things related
to me about the institution. Let the in

A Perfect Cup of Tea.

Almost every woman in the land
from the highest to the humblest,
knows, or imagines she knows, how to
make q cup of tea. How then is it
that the really good cup Of tea is not
more frequently met with? Familiar
ity breeds contempt. and this. prob
ably, is the reason for the carelessness
with which the "cup that cheers is
50 often prepared. The making of tea
has become SO much part Of the daily
routine, and so common the task, that
1T is not deemed worthy of any
amount of thought or care. Here are n
few hints for the would-be "perfect
cup of tea - maker.
Keep the tea in an alright tin.
Never use water which has been boil
ing for any considerable time, nor vet
water which has not reached boiling
point.
Tea should not be allowed to brew
for more than five minutes.
Rinse out the teapot with hot water
and drain well before putting in the
leaves
A china or earthcrnwarc teapot is
better than metal one.
Do not buy an inferior tea and eX-
pect the best results.

POSTOFFICE TO BE
MOVED SHORTLY
Postmaster Moran Thinks Change
Will Be Made About March |
Consignments of Equipment Delayed
Question Arises Over Size of Wire
Used in Electric Wiring.

f.. T. Abbott of the Abbott Construction
Co., contractors for the new federal build
ing, and + f. O'Brien, government super
vising inspector of the building, were in
town Wednesday and yesterday, which
gave rise to the hope that the building
might some time be opened to public
use.
Considerable work remains to be done
and various consgnments of equipment
delayed long weeks and months, are yet
to be received, but even, with these handi-
caps Postmaster NJ. j. Moran said yes
terday that it would be safe to say that
the postoflice would be in its new quarters
on or about March l.
When mechanical expert of the gov
eminent was here a week or two ago he
discovered that the sub-contractor who
had installed the electric wiring had used
a certain number of wire that was differ
ent from the government specifications.
This had been slipped over without the
knowledge of the superintendent OF the
contractor and under the eyes of the gov
eminent inspector of construction, whose
Job it is to see that things are done &C.
cording to the government specifications.
The matter was reported to the office OF
the supervising architect and no report
has been received regarding it. Whether
the matter will he adjusted by some form
of payment on the part of the contractor,
or whether the government will insist
upon complete rewriting of the building,
is not known.
The fly screens for the windows have
arrived, this consignment being one of the
few that have appeared in Brattleboro
anywhere near scheduled time. Some of
the lighting fixtures are lacking, including
the fixtures for emergency gas lighting of
the workroom, which are considered essen
tal before opening the office for business,
Generally speaking the furnishings have
arrived in sufficient quantity to permit of
the opening of the building with the ex-
ception of the gas lighting fixtures. One
hong delay has been because of the non
arrival of shades for the electric fixtures,
but a big consignment of those has been
received, and considering the arrival of
the fly screens there is little else lacking.
An incident showing the tightness of the
freight embargo on the Pennsylvania lines
I came to the attention OF Postmaster
Moran this week. Six crates of metal
lockers were accepted for shipment by the
railroad on the assurance Of the consignors
that they were for government purposes
only The railroad company, in order to
be sure that nobody was taking advan-
| tage of it, wrote to Postmaster Moran, en-
closing copy of the way-bill, and asked to
be advised if the lockers were really in
tended for government PURPOSES.

The Hartford Courant, however. offers
as proof the experience Of Abicl Stay

it made into watch chain and other
