OF Interest to Women
Straight Slender Silhouette of the Season
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, January 6.-It is not in
the new gowns ordered by restless
women that we see the fashions that
may do US the most good along the tine
Of ideas and suggestions for the i'm
mediate future. 1t is in the clothes
which have been ordered for the south.
and in which the American dress
makers have drawn inspiration from
demi-season French models. that we
get an inkling of what is to come.
Our Riviera.
Palm Beach from the middle of jan
uary to the end of March Is as brill
liant In mixture of fashions as one
would want in any country. This was
true before the war, but since then
it's truth has been emphasized beyond
our expectations. That butterfly set
that lives the life of birds. following
the sun and the south wind throughout
The winter and the shade and the north
wind throughout the summer, must go
southward as January advances. These
the people who expect the new
clothes What they wear at Palm
Beach in January they usually continue
to wear in the north and west during
April and May. They may get new
clothes for Newport and Bar Harbor
during July and August, and at the
present moment the air is filed with so
many rumors and possibilities of goinS
% France and Switzerland next sum
ncr in an era of peace, that on every
hand one hears the statement that tn"
new clothes are not expected to last
through the summer in this country.
Be that as it may-and ii Is all on
the laps of kinGs-there is enough 10
talk about in the clothes of the hour
that are going to our own Riviera.
Most OF these fashions arrived from
Paris on the steamer Chicago during
the latter part of November, and they
are being introduced this week as the
last word in fashion between now and
the st of April.

A Few Tested Recipes.

barley till thoroughly swelled in plenty
of milk; then lay it in a dish, sweeten

to the waist. There is a hip sash Of
blue chiffon knotted at the side, end
ing in full streamers.
The high sash is an outcome Of the
revival of medievalism which we first
saw in the great jeweled girdle that
was put about the hips and left to
hang in front. This has been placed
on more brilliant evening gowns. and
il is only natural that some substitute
for it should be found for street frocks.
1t is to be hoped that women with
large hips will take up this girdle
slowly and carefully, but on the aver
age American figure it will look very
well indeed.

ASSAULT CASES SETTLED
BY PAYMENT OF COSTS

couple Of assault cases which were
scheduled to come before the court on
Tuesday afternoon vanished in thin air
and were settled by the payment of
costs by the respondents in both cases.
The first one which was scheduled was
that of the three youths who were
charged with committing an assault on
Eddie Cote on Temple street Sunday
night. This was settled after a confer
ence in the judges office by the pay
ment of the costs by the three young
men concerned The other case was one
in which a man by the name of Brisk
was arrested for assault on two men,
the case growing out of an alleged af-
fray on Kelsey street at the home of
Jacob Brisk, Tuesday morning. 1t was
about o'clock that Patrolman Weiss
was called to the Brisk home by news
that a fight was in progress there. He
found a man with a badly bruised nose
and scratched up face who said that
Brisk had assaulted him. AS it was i'm
possible for him to arrest Brisk with
out warrant. he took the fellow to
City hall and the warrant was sworn
out, but In the afternoon the parties
got together and the matter was set
tied.

KENT'S HILL NOTES

One group Of Kent's Hill boys are
willing to testify to the ever-present
interest of mothers in their boys, for
the self-boarders Of Morse cottage
were agreeably surprised yesterday
when one Of these mothers drove up to
their abiding place laden with splen-
did array of goodies. Merle Jones OF
Fayette had at last reached his 17tn
birthday. and a gaudy cake. IA inches
in diameter. candy covered and illum-
mated with II candles, told the tale OF
his extreme maturity. For one evening
at least he was the most popular EEL
low on Kent's Hill and his mother I'M
doubtedly deserved the cheers that the
Morse cottage boys gave her. A pan
quet of home cooking supplemented by
the cake itself made a good celebration
for the boys.
At the recent limitations Hjalmar c.
Hanson of Berlin, N. H.. Warren
PRESLEY of Lubec and Philip Arndd
of Portland were made members OF the
Caliopean Society. Mr.. Hanson was
lately elected president of the Boys
Conference held in Bath. Philip Sever
son of Fayette joined the Literati So
ciety and Marian Chadbourne OF Saco,
Bernice Brown of Northeast Harbor,
Elizabeth Marsh Of Dexter. Frances
Quincy of Boston and Virginia Mayo
of Mt. Vernon joined the Adelphians.
Speeches by the newly initiated mem
bers and some of the teachers followed
the ceremony.
The Senior reception has been plan
ned for March this year. A cast OF
Seniors will give, If | had a Million,
a farce comedy in three acts.
The residents of Sampson hall were
glad to receive a visit from Miss Car
RE Miller of Lewiston, an alumnus OF
the school and one interested in its
progress.
Caroline Houston of Portland has
but recently entered the seminary as
special music student and will study
under Miss Bagley of the Seminary
Conservatory.

TOPSY-TURVY STATE
PENNSYLVANIA LINES
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence)

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Broos Pennsylvania, Dec. 30.-Long
lines of refugees waiting patiently Tor
a chance to get back to their homes
farther in the mountains, hundreds II
not thousands of soldiers returning
from furloughs and struggling to find
even standing room in the irregular
trains, timetables turned topsy- turvy
and 90 to 80 car trains that begin
their journeys two hours behind time
and end them from six hours to half
a day behind schedule.
Such is one of the superficial effects
of the Rumanian campaign. The Ru-
manians have long since been pushed
back into and across their own country,
but it will be weeks before the dis
turbance which they created will have
subsidized; it will be weeks before traffic
and other conditions will again have
resumed their normal status; weeks
before the festively- clad peasants
shall all have found their way to their
abandoned homes.
With the entrance of Rumania, war
in reality, came home to lower Hun
gary for the first time. 1t had con-
tributed its quota of men to the Aus
trian army, but that it had done in
peace times. The Russian advances
into the Carpathians had left it un-
scathed 1t was not until the Ruman-
ians swept through the passes and oc-
cupied portion of Pennsylvania that
the Hungarians of their section really
knew that they too were in fight to
the finish.
The majority of them were seized by
the same panicky feeling that in the
present war has seized the inhabitants
of Belgium, of Poland, of East Prussia,
of Serbia, and of every other district
that has been invaded Withuot stop
ping to consider whether they would
or would not be molested by the enemy
If they remained they flooded away
from their homes in untold thousands.
Now weeks after Pennsylvania is as
free and safe from invasion as Berlin
or Budapest. or Vienna are today the
interior cities of Hungary, in parti-
cular Budapest, are checked and
crammed with fugitives who find get
ting back home still attended with
difficulties. They fill every hotel to
overlooking, they clutter I'D every
train and choke most of the roads.
Their home coming, when such a
thlng finally is possible, is in general
more fortunate than that of most fugi-
tlVes' however, for the Rumanians
We're IN Pennsylvania for so short a
time that they destroyed little If any
thing, and the men and women and
children Of the district, though they
md little left to eat, at least are able
to move back into houses that are
fairly intact.

FAMOUS WELL IN
BRITISH ISLE DRY

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Holywell North Wales, Jan. 2S.-St
Winifred's Well, the most famous in
the British Isles and for centuries the
mecca for pilgrims from all parts OF
Europe, has gone dry. The incident
has created a sensation in this little
picturesque town which relies on the
well for its livelihood.
The we'll gave UP more than 1000
gallons per minute. The town relied
on the well for its water supply and
considerable revenue was derived from
the pilgrims and from the Roman
Catholic church which paid the town
council an annual rental for the privi-
lege of building a shrine and conduct
ing services on the site.
AS soon as the well failed an in.
vestigation to ascertain the reason
was begun and the authorities believe
they have fathomed the mystery. It
seems that he engineers in order to
drain the waters that have hindered
the mining of lead deposits under Hal
kin Mountain near here, tunnelled deep
and unexpectedly tapped the SUBJ
terranean stream that broke from the
ground at st. Winifred's.
