VIEWPOINT

Special to the Times -FarmerD
 Signs of spring are evident every where particularly in the muddy con- ditions of so many of the town roads. Scarcely any frost remains in the ground and in many places work1nen are busy filling in bad spots with crushed stone. For the past week or ten days, the early morning trav- elers have been obliged to make a detour of a mile or more and the same in the evening on returning from work, to travel on state road or otherwise good road, to escape being, so to speak, stuck in the mud" It seems an opportune time to bring up the subject of making the road between the four corners and the watering trough a state road link, which has already been recom- mended to the town requesting a s1,- 900 outlay from Newtown and $3,00O from the state for the proposed per- manent improvement,

made with an underslip with various

Sometimes the underslip is plain, with

the plain neck is passing and few will
regret it for the plain neck finish is not

A later arrival in styles for after

thing new for fall. This is gown
made Of shot taffeta silk, and it sug-
gests the "bustle dress" OF two or
three years ago. One material and
cleverly managed drapery of 1t, are
the means at hand with which the
designer has succeeded in making an
interesting and very pleasing dress.
Bunchy drapery is caught at the right
side below the hip, with ribbon In long
loops and ends. Frills Of lace set on
the neck and make pretty chemi-
settle, adding their daintiness to tho
sleeves. This model, modified a little
and made up in light-colored silks,
makes a lovely evening dress. One OF

to pound. Something was wrong, be-
yond a question.
She saw the boat change Its direc'
ton, starting across the lake, In en-
tirely the wrong direction If her judg-
ment was right. Not knowing what to
do, she sat quiet, growing colder each
moment, with something that was not
the coolness Of the mist about her.
She did not know how many half
hours passed before she saw the gleam
Of light. Swiftly the boat drew In

"Here we are, MISS" her guardian
said.
Swiftly and tremblingly she rose.
Aided by the men, she mounted the
dock, and stared about her. The whole

At first she thought Of struggling;
then she went obediently up the path.

The latest arrivals in blouses are not
different from those that came early
in the season, except in inconspicuous
details of making or trimming. There
is no good reason why designers
should run after strange gods ~
long as there IL an insistent de-
mand for the styles now In vogue or
until some change in skirts opens the
way for q change in blouses. What
women are most concerned In Is
knowledge Of the merits Of materials
used In blouses and Of the most prac-
teal and becoming styles for various
uses.
The most durable and at the same
time dainty blouses for daily wear are
made of fine cotton voile. It does not
seem possible that 90 sheer and fine \
fabric could have such powers Of re-
sistance to wear and tubing, but the
fact remains that 1t will outlast any

Tired with her long journey and a
bit disgusted with her errand, Jean
Clifford descended from the dingy coach
and found herself standing on the plat
form of a small country station, dimly
lighted, gloomy with the night.
y "What a crazy way to be marie" "
she exclaimed to herself. Il hope there
is some one here to meet me-"
Save for the old station agent, who
was busy with his own cares, no one
was about; so she sat down In the
smoky waiting room and thought over
the situation.
Mr.. Curtis did not want the mar
riage to take place; neither did Ryder
Sabin so she had been forced to take
the lonely ride to the northern lake
cottage where the marriage was to
take place-a secret affair.
The door opened and mans face
appeared. He looked at her, then
smiled.
I'VE are waiting for you, MISS" he
said.
; Jumping up, thankful for the sight
|of a friendly face, she hurried out.
Her bag was taken, and in a moment
she was in a machine, headed away
into the darkness.
There was no one in the car save
herself and the driver, and she settled
back with sigh Of pleasure. The
road was rough one, but the driver
was skillful, and they went along
swiftly through the woody-smelling
darkness. Suddenly they swung down
a grade and before her was the long,
level brightness of the northern lake.
A voice called from the shore.
The machine turned and stopped.
"Here we are, MISS" the driver said.

The file fish captured off Lands
End Is q rare visitor to the English
coast, the only previous specimens re-
corded having been caught so long ago
as 1927. 1t belongs to a numerous and
important family Of the tropical seas,
which are so-called because the first
dorsal fin Is studded up the front with
small projections that suggest some re-
semblance to a file. Another peculiar.
ity of these comic-looking fish is the
gunlock spine, the principle Of which

thing she had been accustomed to ask
for when mother and father went ia

luxuries they buy for her and always
explain their limitation by saying ION
