ing, which is left unattached at each
side to form pockets. The sleeves and
both skirts are finished with a deep

in few sprays of blue wheat.
Another afternoon frock which any
one would be tempted to buy is made
of mignonette. a finer quality of tric-
olette, in shade of deep tan. Com
bined with it is a most unusual Jap
anese crepe in weird designs OF deep
red, green, and blue on tan back
ground. This material is used for
the extremely wide girdle which
loops in a graceful bow at one side.
for the lining of the elbow length
sleeves and for panels at either side
of the waist and skirt. The blouse
has a round collarless neck, and long
rows of tan buttons on each side as
trimming. The skirt is shirred in
wide band around the bottom, through
which an elastic is inserted to cause
it to drape "harem" fashion.

Box for Brattleboro

Easthampton, like most western
Massachusetts towns, is fortunate in
being represented by a fast ball team,
and like most of them takes particular
delight in putting one over on Brattle-
boro if possible, but with the local
boys showing the brand of ball of last
week it will take more than one Massa-
chusetts team to show them how the
game is played.
Easthampton has good record so far

fessional teams in their locality. They

of defeating the Athletics.
One feature that should be interest
ing is the fact that Guy Johnson of
Rrattleboro baseball fame will twirl for
the home team Johnson has never
pitched as well before as he has this
season. He tried out with the Ponies in
the Eastern league early in the season
and Mgr. Flynn considered him a good

Cording Up the Bed in Vermont.

You'll hear of eighteen holes of golf
In any goff-club shed,
You'll see the sport that's jest beer
round
Look, wise and wag his head,
But where's the man who used to cord
Twice eighteen holes of bed?
Say; there he goes upchamber way,
Keep track, see what he'll do;
Jest watch the feather tick fly off,
And then the husk ore, too;
If 'tisn't husk, it's barley straw,
Or was when it was new.
The bedstead stripped, he presses on
In three new kinds or four
OF dust, and yanks the old cord out
A hundred yards or more
When first he knows, the southeast post
Falls fiat upon the floor.
The lengthwise girders then collapse,
And head and footboard crash;
You'd s'pose that mothers spareroom bee
Had went to smithering smash;
Before he gets it up, he's earned
A dollars worth OF cash.
The new bought BEDFORD then he takes
And threads it through the beams,
Or stringers, for they're strong enough
To hold a string of teams;
Acrost and round he goes like one
A-passing chocolate creams.
Now comes the tug of war, to stretcI
That rawboned BEDFORD tight;
He needs some help and hollers dewn
The stairs with all his might,
Come up here, son, and tread the cord
And help me do this right"
Up sonny starts to walk tile rope
Upon his insteps; Bang!
Way up he goes, then back he comes,
A human boomerang,
A combination bird and frog,
A BEDFORD 'rangoutang.
Then father says, ''You hold the end.
Wen pass around the fun;
I'd like to do that monkey act
And show you how it's done;"
When, Bang! another father lays
Unconscious of his son.
His senses back, three hours or more
He lives amongst that rope,
And when it twangs, he's ripe to rest
A week, but-drat the hope
Upstairs rings mothers vibrant voice,
Come, father, stir the soap"
