NEW YORK, Dec. 20-There are
not only silver threads among the
gold but both silver and gold not to
mention copper threads intermingling
midst the warp and woof of all the
smartest fabrics for day wear or eve
ming wear or any old wear at all.
Positively we get more metallic
every day and if we aren't careful
we'll be buying our costumes by the
carat instead of by the yard. Judg-
ing from some of the evening toilettes
it won't take many carats at that.
The perfectly gorgeous metallic
brocadeis of China and Japan are
having a great wave of favor for
evening gowns draped to the figure
and for evening wraps that are the
acme of Orientalism. Personally, I
fear the heavily gold and silver in
crusted materials are a bit scratchy
when in too intimate a juxtaposition
to ones epidermis but one remembers
always the old adage that one must
suffer to be beautiful and the large
feather fans of the moment prove ex-
cellent screens to conceal any neces-
sary local treatment.
The rich metallic embroideries and
brocades are really the most wonder
fully expressive fabrics for the eve
ming costumes of this most expen-
sive and extravagant era but they
simply won't stay in their proper
sphere. They insist on weaving in on
frocks and suits of sober daytime
utility wear and embellishing neutral
toned duvetyne and practical serges
with reckless abandon.
Gold motifs enhancing the charms
of all shades, of brown are effective
indeed, and silver on blues or greys
are stunning. The CLINT of metal is
as necessary to the success of the
present day garment as it is to its
purchase though it does take some
thing more than it's CLINT to accomp-
lish that job.
Aside from the metallic threads in
the fabrics and the applied metallic
embroideries, metal in its natural
state has us in its golden grip in
the form of ornate belts of coins and
silver wires and links and interviewer
scrolls. The more barbaric anc
bizarre the design and effect the
more these girdles are to be desired
and they are striking the newest GOLD
and silver notes and are quite the
centres of attraction.
The belts that have had our coats
and wraps in their encircling CLASP
for 10 these divers seasons past have
at last been cast adrift. The man.
teaux of the mode hang free and un.
restrained from shoulder to hem save
for the graceful intake of a drape OF

two. No belts are allowed to mar
their graceful symmetry and the lit
tie string belt that has been dear to
the heart of the Partisan and all her
copying sisters as necessary coat
accessory is no more.
The belt in it's more glorious and
opulent form, however, is working
overtime circling the rich robes of
velvet and brocade and the simpler
serge and duvetyn with equal dazz-
ling and metallic charm.
With the H.. G. of L. ever on the
climb, though, it certainly does strike
one as bit appalling the way all this
gold and silver is going to waist.

MILADY'S SHEKELS

BREAD

R R E'A D-the most whole D some and the most nour- ishing of all foods, is today the only economical food.
 Bread has not increased in price like other foods. Your loaf today cost only a few cents more than before the war-an advance that repre- sents the increased cost of la Dor more than anything else.
 So Bread, the staff of life, is within the reach of every body. EAT BREAD-MORE BREAD-instead of the rich, higher priced foods, and you will cut down the high cost of living, and be healthier and happier.

NEW LUMBER MILL
AT LAKE DUNMORE

Commencement of extensive lumber
ing operations on Mt, Moosalamoo at
Lake Dunmore is forecast by an
nouncement that Frederick johnson, a
professional lumberman of Pike, n H.
has purchased 900 acres which comprise
the northern half of Mt. Moosalamoo
on the Lake Dunmore slope and that
by the first of November he will put
a large gang of men at work stripping
the mountain side of its largest trees
This move is one OF a series oil
numbering operations which may be ex-
pected in this vicinity, as over 4OOO
acres of lands owned by the Hortonla
Power Company in Salisbury, Han
cock Ripton, Lincoln, and Middlebury
were recently sold to a syndicate COM
posed of E. H. Hallett, Harry Roman,
Fred E. Thorpe of Lisbon, N. H., and
Sherburne Lang of Lyndonville, VT
1t is this syndicate which has just sold
900 acres of the Moosalamoo land, por-
tions known as the Kingsley and Ohm
lots. to Johnson, the lumber operator
and it is assumed that other transfers
are to be similarly made by the synui-
cate. 1t is understood that the plans
at Lake Dunmore include the building
of a modern lumber mill at the south
end of the Lake, near Fernville, where
electric power may be easily obtained
from the Hortonia station. After the
hig logs have been pulled down from
the mountain they will be fioated ii
the Lake to the vicinity of the lumber
mill, where after being cut to size the
lumber will probably be shipped Out
from Brandon,
Mr.. Johnson, who has lately been ii
Salisbury, expects to return there WIN
in two weeks and during his operations
in this vicinity he will live in Salisbury
with his brothers family, and with nj
sister as housekeeper.
