LEGISLATURE
MEETS N TWO WEEKS
Busy Session Anticipated Because
There Are Many Matters to
Be Considered.

Two weeks from to-day the Vermont
legislature will commence its session,
which, If the present Indications prove
good, will be three months session,
for there are many problems which bid
fair to produce lengthy contests. The
commission to propose amendments to
the constitution viii present some mat
ters that will not pass without consid-
cradle contest.
Probably one of these will be the
matter of changing the legislature back
into fall session. II has been suggest
ed that if it eonvenes about Sept. 20,
after a September election it would
give ample time for the arrangements
of matters after election and would
give time enough so that the session
would be adjourned before Christmas.
This would shorten the session a little
probably with the time out for Thanks
giving. There is some discussion rela-
tive to the pay with perhaps time
limit with pay that would amount to
about So day.
An effort to increase the judges sal
aries will be made, for that matter is
now under consideration by a commit
tee from the bar. OF course the eduea-
tional matters will be shaken up. Ef-
fort to liberalize the Sunday laws will
be made perhaps, giving a local option
as to amusemen.s. There has been some
inquiry relative to a closed primary
and its action. Taxation questions are
being asked by some who do not feel
that the present law provides all it
should.
Probably direct state tax of 10 or
Is cents will prevail. There will be
some changes in the automobile and
highway laws Effort to agree with the
Volstead act will undoubtedly come up,
while limit to campaign expenses
may prevail. These are some of the
matters being mentioned about the
State House and there are many others
that will come up.

compe1s them to appear on a par with
women Of leisure who lead fashionable
lives. Yet the absorbing attention which
may earn, these large incomes prevents
them from ffghting to finish the COM
pick problems of good dressing.
The genuinely interested dressmaker
is one of life's best prizes to the
wage-earner, but it is asking much Of
human nature that it should give keen
interest and inspiration to a person
who does not buy heavily. one who is
apt to make the best of a mistake by
despairing acqufescence.
Probably. therefore. it Is best to
ignore both these classes under dis
cussion when it comes to suggesting
scheme of clothes. Between these two
there is a great struggling class trying
to look the best on the least with the
greatest saving in time and vitality.
To this class the most emphatic adj
vice that can be given, first and fore
most is to work out strict and care
full scheme for each seasons clothes
and to place this on a foundation stone
formed by general scheme of con-
tinuous dressing.
1t is only through this channel that
wage-earner can steer safely through
life If she has no definite plan of
clothes, if she is beckoned hither and
yon by succeeding fashions, if she is
stirred by suggestions from various
sources, she will end by drifting
through a series of failures.
Every woman should aim for indi-
viduality. This does not mean that
she should dress differently from her
neighbors. but that she should adopt
a rule of dress that suits herself. 1t is
of slight moment whether the style is
commonplace or eccentric, whether it
is worn by the girl who chews gum
and uses pavement slang. or is de-
signed by an individual dressmaker.
The main point is to work out a
scheme of dressing, hold to it and not
| be led by impatience or curiosity into
| other channels where there are rocks
! and sandbars.
| The woman who claims with a half
hidden air Of superiority that a coat,
! a skirt and a shirt waist are good
enough for her, is either false or
| foolish. If she says her scheme of
! dressing centers on tailored effect,
and that she finds a coat suit with
varying blouses the safest medium
