TO DISCONTINUE GLASSES
Interest In Bartlett Evening Classes Docs Not Warrant Their Contin- uancc, Superintendent says.

Superintendent of Schools Stanley If. Holmes will recommend to tho next session or the school committee that the Bartlett evening school be dis continued and that those registered for the classes at that school he trans fcrred to the ;lihu Burritt school building. There arc'bu 70 registered and. in the opinion of the superin- tendcnt, the costs of maintaining the tho school arc too high to warrant continuing. Ii is the first time that a local evening school will havo been closed for want of pupils
 The matter Of discontinuine the Bartlett evening school was presented to the school board at its last session hy the superintendent. but upon a sug- Cestion of Roy. l.. Bojnowski of the Sacred Heart church. the time for registration was continued until yes tcrday. The interest in the classes ap- parently has not been sufficient to cause their continuance.

1t is of little service to the woman
who spends her life in apartment
| hotels, but. fortunately for the race
these are in the minority.
The reason for the need and desire
for tea gown Is that it saves ones
| evening frocks and street clothes. 1t
is an utterly delightful compromise
| between the two. 1t gives one a
| sense of rest and cheer to change
| more brilliant for the evening meal
even If 1t is taken without guests
The woman who leads an active life
does not always have the energy to
get into the full harness demanded
by an evening gown with Its trans
parent shoulders, it's frequent neces-
sity for light stockings and slippers
The chiffon tea gown had its day.
and 1t was good day at that, but
it demanded a certain fastfdiousness
in accessories. and again it was often
too cold for the average American
house during the four months OF
winter
The velvet tea gown was a better
choice. 1t was made in black as often
as in colors. although women who
like rich settings in their homes
chose these gowns in deep Burgun-
dy, bronze, Vatican purple. and even
in rich topaz yellow.
Conservative women clung to the
black tea gown. and a clever way
in which they achieved a contrasting
color scheme was to line the black
surface with a colored satin, which
they matched up with shoes and
stockings. This was well done in a
certain black velvet gown lines with
French gray satin, with which were
worn gray silk stockings and suede
slippers with broad cut steel buckles.
Satin RonIoCoa VnJvRf
With the oncoming change of sea-
son women do not look with favor
upon velvet as a fabric for house or
street, but, as they like the black tea
gown with it's straight lines, they
have substituted satin. They get brill
liancy through it's lining and also
through a broad girdle of varicolored
ribbon. which is a two-year old trick
in France that has not been suffici-
emily utilized in this country.
The sketch shows a tea gown of
satin now in full service. 1t repre-
sents one of the new types. the sign
and symbol of which is the swinging
cape at the back which was the fea-
ture of the best velvet tea gowns of
the romantic period in Italian his
tory.
1t is quite probable that the pro-
duction of 'The Jest" with the Bar
rymore brothers. gave rise to much
that was Italian in a group of cos
tunes designed in New York for ar
tistic women.
This tea gown with the cape is one
OF them. The girdle which gives brill
liancy to the bodice is quite deep and
often serves as a corset holding in the
figure. 1t is of old rose, blue, black
and yellow folded satin ribbons and
there is broad band of cream thread
lace at the top.
The rest of the tea gown, except
for this girdle. is of black satin and
the cape is edged with band of err
mine.

A NEW TYPE OF TEA GOWN
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

Throughout the winter women who
like to dress for dinner in gowns that
stand for comfort and gayety have
adopted velvet tea gowns. They have
found them none too warm in a win
ter of slush, ice and zero weather;
quite comfortable to slip over bodies
that are often corsetless. They have

Will trip it's owner soon or late.
When Peter Rabbit told Mrs. Peter
he never would boast again he really
meant it. But the boasting habit is
one of the hardest in the world to
overcome. The very day Of his lucky
escape from Reddy Fox Peter and little
Mrs. Peter received a visit from
Sammy Jay in the dear Old Briar
Patch.

would go. Hes no friend of ours.

she Indignantly.
Peter said nothing, but began to

him immensely. Sammy Jay looked
at him sharply. What are you chuck
