A Peculiar Law.

TN early America the township and
provincial authorities regulated
private conduct and personal affairs
with a rigor which IL sought to be ap-
piled now would raise a general and
indignant outcry. What are called
blue laws were familiar to our ances-
tors. and it would appear that they
represented public opinion as to what
constituted proper and seemly conduct
on the peoples part.
AS bearing on the daylight-saving
matter, which is being agitated in a
number of localities. and as proving
that it is difficult to find something
new under the sun, the municipal au-
thorities OF Hartford. Conn.,, have
found among their records that q gen.
eral town meeting in Hartford, Octo-
ber "a. 1643. voted that there should
be a bell rung by the watch every
morning an hour before daybreak,
land that they who are appointed by
the constable for that purpose shall
begin at the bridge. and so ring the
bell all the way forth and back: Mas
ter Moody (WylfyshilD to John
Pretts, and that they shall be in every
house one up and some lights within
one-Quarter of an hour after the end
of the bell ringing. il they can. or else

toned half an hour before daylight.

II 1t was her knowledge of dish

she knew what she was talkin' about,
for you never see her anywhere with
out this woolly little parlor insect
that she calls Fluffy Duffie. He's al
ways perched up beside her when
she drives around. and where there
amt any hostile cats or dogs she
lugs him into houses under her arm.
You ought to hear her springin' her
line of baby talk to him. Say, it's
enough to make you want to throw
the little beast through window. I
like dogs well enough. too-real
dogs. But these pink-eyed things.
I've got no use for. Yet Lillith seems
to think a whole lot of FLUFFY Duffie.
Here about month ago when she
thought he was lost what does she do

wouldn't give that much for all the
white poodles you could herd into

The Rambler hoped in this narra-

races and sank boats. and how the
crews of the Columbia and Potomac
gigs were saved by life preservers
and lines thrown from tugboats. and
by a big rowboat quickly launched
from the Columbia boathouse and

Today conditions are reversed
That is there was more time to
think about better and finer wool
ems and workmen have proved

Reject Radical Ideas.
The fanciful styles of the last two
years will not be so noticeable this
spring. Designers were quick to
sense the acceptance or rejection of
their idea and mems clothes canno,
be forced to the degree that is pos
stble with women's modes. Hence
we will see a more conventional
note in the spring clothing note
that is truly in accord with the
tastes of refined dressers.
Young men Simply wore the rad
ical styles because they were the
vogue but accepted them with a
notable reluctance. And as time
passed the average mans idea Of
what style should be in colthes
swung with the pendulum.
Wide Shaped Trousers.
The only important change in
mems suits will be in the shaping of
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1921-03-17

Some pleats, yokes and panels
will be shown in lounge suits, but
not nearly as much as last season.
What novelty effects remain will be
shown in the button treatments on
pockets and cuffs.
Suits for business and general
wear for the coming season are
shown in fancy silk worsteds her
ringbones, in gray, brown and blue
mixtures. Prominent among the
newer styles are the so-called May
flower stripes in shades of gray;
oxford, blue and brown. These are
made of pure worsted yarn, of good
weight for year round service.
Checks Remain in Favor.
Shepherd checks, herringbones
in blue, brown and gray stripes
Glen Urquardt and Tartan checks
and overplaids will continue in fav-
or. Mems models are made with
either full or half lining, while
young mems styles are construct
ed with French facings and silk
piping.
Trousers for outing wear are
made of duck, navy drill, flannel
gabardine, doeskin and serge cloth.
Palm Beach and mohair fabrics all
so will be favored.
Smaller Effects Now.
There are no particular lines of

the trousers. These will be slight
ly fuller-a bit more English. but
not quite as extreme as the Lon
don idea.
In the making of the coats young
men will still continue to find the
full chested effecr but not quite as
pronounced as last season. The
skirt although continued long, will
not have the percepitble flare.
Better Effects Now Rare,
During the last year there has
been a gradual retirement Of the
belted effects and there also has
ben discontinuance to a degree of
the pleated and panel back effects.
They will not be used extensively in
the spring clothes, but with greater
frequency in the summer clothes,
in which the sports feature will pre-
dominate.
Patch and plain pockets will be
the vogue, while the crescent
shaped pockets will be discarded
almost entirely. Four button mod
els will be seen a great deal more
than heretofore and double-breast-
eds will remain in good taste.
Little Trimming i'm Vests.
Vests will remain collarless; of
the single-breasted sort, with hard
ly any trimmings. Such things as
pleats and pocket buttons will rare
ly be seen.
