Recently, writes a Paris fashion cor
respondent, witnessed an amusing lit
tie scene In which a famous London
beauty played the leading role. The
background was one Of the big depart
ment stores on the Boulevard Hauss-
mann, and the beauty was none other
than Lady Diana Manners. daughter
of the duchess Of Rutland. I noticed
q considerable crowd of women and
girls at the untrimmed hat department.
This was nothing new. for nowadays
every department OF every big store
I'm Paris Is crowded. but 1t struck me
that instead Of searching for becom-
ing hat shapes for themselves these
eager girls and women were watching
someone else making a choice.
made my way to the scene Of &C
ton and there standing before a look
ing glass, / found very tall, thin Eng
lish girl with wonderful golden hair.
starry blue eyes and blushrose cheeks.
She was actually making a restaurant
hat before the eyes of those amazed
onlookers.
With absolute unconcern she pulled
on a transparent brim made Of black
tuIle and then added q full crown Of
giittering gold tissue. Then she push
ed into place q cluster Of metallic
flowers and a Louis XIV bow Of black
velvet, gave the whole thing final
pull to make It fit well down on her
lovely hair and indicated to the speech
less shop girl that she wished the hat
made '1ike that" 1t was the prettiest
sight you can imagine.
A really beautiful girl displaying a
wonderful cleverness IN the arrange
ment Of fragile materials, above all,
the essentially English disregard for
the crowd Of onlookers.
All for Picturesque Dressing.
Lady Diana was-as usual-dressed
picturesquely. All the duchess Oh
Rutland's daughters have inherited
their mothers genius where clothes are
concerned. 1t viii be remembered
that when the duchess was Lady Gran
by she led q very exclusive circle. In
London, who called themselves Inc
Souls" All the members Of this circle
went in for picturesque dressing and
the duchess Of Rutland is still famous
for her clever arrangements Of gor-
geous brocades, lengths Of rich fur
and priceless laces.
The day / saw Lady Diana she was
wearing a simple one-piece frOck, made
of navy blue serge. which had a mar

The Central Maine Power Company stands ready
and hereby pledges itself to do everything in its power
to cooperate with the citizens of Skowhegan attract
ing here enough industries to use all this power and
thus enable this town to achieve the growth and de-
velopment which this new power pl ant will make
possible
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1919-10-09

Skowhegan can have more than her share Of these
compete with other cities not SO avoraby
situated in regard to water power better than equal
TERMS for the industrial plants that are moving so rapid
y to Maine. They can do this because they can offer
unlimited power, generated on the spot backed by
big company with an nterconneced system and an
ample steam reserve.
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1919-10-09

The Central Maine Power Company freely pre-
diets that the day will come, in the no very distant
future, when every bit of the power developed by the
new Skowhegan power station will be used in bigger,
more prosperous Skowhegan.
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1919-10-09

Naturally, barring unexpected developments,
Skowhegan cannot at once absorb this excess of power
which will be developed here 1t is to the advantage
of the Central Maine Power Company, however, to
sell it all in Skowhegan and it confidently expects in
good time to do So
