 TREES ALONG TIE MOHEGAN TRAM

 MT. Cruttenden was vigorously ap- plauded and Judge Love added an in teresting touch when he said that it had been learned that the value of the Mehegan Trail had been appreciated in Berlin, for the German plan of Tf- Evasion of New England. in case they fhad won, the war, had been to land at Salem, Mass, and bring their army Worcester and then down the Mohe- gan Trail. He was glad that certain young men from the Mohegan Trail neighboffood, assisted by a million or more other stalwart young Ameri- cans, had knocked this German | scheme in the head and saved the l Trail from the pollution of the dirty ! footsteps of the Hun.

Freaks of Fashion.

The crinolines of the reign of Louis
Napoleon had prototypes in remote az
tiquity. The orientals of long ago had
devised an equivalent of the hoopskirt
which we now ridicule, but which L
is not certain we shall not readOpt at
some future time. Only few years
ngO the high waists and sheath gowns
which women of fashion affected were
hailed as novelties, but the instigatots
of them had borrowed the idea from
Nine Recamier. She, says Roger
Boutet de Marvel, was inspired by tn 4
Greeks and Romans. In the eighties
there was a fashion among men of
wearing trousers that made many Of
them resemble skeletons. But in the
early eighteenth century it is report
ed that our ancestors "wore clothes
so tight to We skin that it might well
bee conceived that they wore no clothes
at ALL The practice of wearing furs
in summer is not a mere bit of mod
ern feminine foolishness, as some have
supposed 1t has been traced to GER

ANY USES FOR PAPER YARN
Combined With Wool, Shoddy, Cotton
and Waste, EnIargng Supply of
Fabrics for Clothing.

The use of paper yarn has been
largely extended during the past half
ear The Importance of the industry
may be judged by the increased pro-
duction now amounting to about 8S,-
100000 pounds a year, says the Frank
furter Zeitung.
The manufacturing processes are
constantly being improved. and as the
matter stands now paper yarn can be
used successfully in the manufacture
Of various fabrics and garments, ex-
cepting only body linen and the better
sorts of outside garments. Working
mems clothes, bed and table linen, cur
tains, sail cloth, imitation leather and
many other articles of good quality
can now be made.
In many fabrics the paper yarn is
combined with wool. shoddy, cotton
waste. etc., and the supply of fabrics
for the clothing industry is thus en-
larged. 1t is not to be supposed that
all these articles will disappear i'm
mediately upon the return of peace
The demand for them will continue

DECORATIVE POCKET IS BACK
Convenience of All Kinds of Garments
Has Gone Through Many Changes
in Recent Years.

A volume could be written on the
history of pockets within the last few
years. After the disappearance of
the pocket that used to be, long years
ago, cleverly-sometimes not so clev-
erly-concealed in the side seam of a
woman's skirt, there were years when
pockets were unknown. Occasionally,
to be sure, there were pockets on our
topcoats. But we never put anything
in them save, occasionally, our finger
tips on cold day.
Then pockets came in as a decora-
tive feature. Even before the war
began decorative pockets were well
established. Sometimes there were
| little handkerchief pockets on our
blouses, particularly n tailored sport
models. There wel, pockets on all
our coats, long and short. There
were patch pockets on our skirts.
The next phase of the pocket his
tory was the big pocket that looked
like half of bulgipg little workbag

ART OF SELECTING DRAPERIEs
Wise Choosing and Placing of Lamps
Lends an Air of Coziness to
the Home.

While the selection of draperies and
curtains is, possibly, the most obvious
method of lending an air of coziness
to the home, the wise choosing and
placing of lamps is factor which is
equally important, though too infre-
quently taken advantage of. To be
thoroughly comfortable and practical
during the evening hours, the home
should be equipped with variety of
lamps, to meet the particular needs Of
the moment. The fact that one does
not want the same kind of lighting at
all times becomes an important item
in the selection and arrangement of
fixtures, for, while soft, mellow glow
is highly desirable for conversational
purposes, it is usually insufficient for
reading or other close work. The liv-
ing room should therefore be fur
nished with both types of lamps, SO
that it will be satisfactory at all times.
Proper illumination of this room will
do much toward keeping the family
together in the evening, for it makes
it possible for several people to do
their different work in comfort.

NEW PATTERN PRINTS SHOWN
Fabric Is Entirely English in Design
and Manufacture; Firm Like Per-
Gale; Dyes Warranted.

Some new English prints are in the
market. They are entirely English in
design and manufacture, the material
is of firm quality like percale and
the dyes are warranted. They come in
all colors-rose, pink, greens, blues,
terra Gotta, or really the new henna-
with the little old-fashioned designs in
purple or lavender. The patterns are
small, delicate roses on the different
grounds, small conventional patterns,
and little leaf patterns combined with
small round figure of some kind.
There are few patterns with the ever
recurrent polka dot of moderate size,
set rather far apart on white or col
ored grounds. Another old-time one
revived is the tiny, pinhead dot in
white on navy blue. These, however,
are exceptions, most Of the prints be-
ing in small, sometimes very tiny, all
over designs set closely. The only
thing in way of stripe is indefinite,
formed Of lines of the dots. The
prints make up into very simple gowns
for women, children and young girls.

fastened on the skirt 1t was made
with shirred top, very often, and was
capacious enough to hold handker-
chief and purse. Then came the
pocket of real utilitarian value. Last
year, when the privations of war were
at their worst in Paris, parcels pock-
cts were made feature Of some of
the smartest coats and frocks and
skirts. And in these really big pock-
cts women were supposed to carry
their parcels, which in Paris. as in
most of our cities, could not be de-
livered for want of labor.
Now the pocket has gone back to
more decorative phase. To be sure,
the merchandise delivery system is
still a bit out of normal. But we
prefer to carry our packages in shop
ping bags, rather than in our pockets.
So the decorative pocket is the one
at present in vogue.

HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
But Young Husband Should Have
Known That All Jewels Require
Some Kind of Setting.

There was trouble in the Smugle7
household.
Mother had been to visit her son
and his wife and had found things a
bit strained between them.
"Can't they agree?" asked father,
angrily marching up and down the
room in his agitation.
''Pm afraid not" said mother sadly.
but not at all surprised that the girl
her son had chosen had turned out to
be. the wrong one after all, seeing that
the boy would take no advice on the
matter.
"But when he first married her he
called her his jewel" went on father.
$50 he did," said mother with a
sniff: 'but he discovered later he
couldn't afford the kind of setting she
demanded"
