ONE noticed the insistence on
enormous cabochon emeralds,
safphires and ruby rings and upper
arm bracelets CT diamonds and these
three ever popular precious stones,
which, of course, means that gloves
are left at home. And it would
seem as though the true Parisienne,
who formerly wore single string
of beautifully matched pearls, now
wears three strings of varying
lengths Of equally beautifully
matched pearls. the longest of these
sautoirs frequently ending with a
pendant in the form of a pear
shaped emerald or pearl. All pearls
seem to be much larger in size thar
those of pre-war days.
For some time past even the
woman who is the happy possessor
of beautifully shaped ears has SO
dressed her hair as completely to
conceal their existence were it not
Tor the telltale earrings. Now she
may proudly brush her hair hack,
discard her earrings and again re-
veal the formerly banished ears.

WEoUETEQUocK

The Community House at wequete- quoek Is seeking incorporation. The old scheolhouse. in which the members hold their meetings. will probably be pur- chased from the town and be used aa per maHent headquarters
 This building was the location of one of the most exciting episodes In the hls- Sunday, Nov. zs, 1883, there was con- fict of opinion between the school board of the district and several of the women of Wequetequock- The latter desired to hold Sunday school in the edifice and the committee held that the building should be used only for the purpose intended
 The Stonington Mirror says:
 On the above date occurred what has since been known as the WeQuetequock war" It was a contest between several of the women of that vicinity. armed with crowbars, axes and siedgehammeh, with which they determined 10 force admission into the barricaded building. and the school committee. armed only with a de- termination to keep the invaders out. It is matter of record that the women won. first breaking in the shutter at dne of the windows. and later the front door. During the melee one of the committee men was wounded, his right hand beine pinned to the schoolhouse by 8 crowbar
 The following inscription was dIscov. cred on the blackboard after the Sunday school had adjourned: '"They that love the Lord die early. The Lord Is on oul side. First petticoat battle won at Har. Her's Ferry, Nov. 90. etc"
 The incident Is recalled by the brinEin, | to this office of a New York paper of ISS; that contained full account of the hap pening, together with an illustration tha 1 shows the battle in progress.

STAFFORD SPRINGS

The approaching town meeting which will be held March list is of more than ordinary interest on account of the trn- portant matters to be acted on. The matter of levying a tax is always of in- terest, but the big question is what shan pc aone about the building of . new grammar school. A year ago the town appropriated $125,0o0 for this purpose and appointed a committee to secure bids and go ahead with the erection of the building. On account of the high cost of labor and material at that time, 1t was not possihle to get anyone to take the contract within the appropriation. the nearest bid being about $20,oeg more than the amount appropriated. The con- mittee therefore decided to drop the mat. ter and nothing further has been done Prices are now coming down and it h thought that the building can be erected Tor the amount appropriated and the committee will so report at the town meeting. There are many people, how. ever, who believe that the building should be deferred for while, when 1t is be- lieved that the contractors will submit lower figures than they can possibly do at this time. The committee consists of William R. Preble, Joseph H. Valentine. John R. Parkhurst Robert W. Smith and Alfred D. Bernardo.
 Officials of the Central Vermont Rail. way company are determined to put a stop to loafers hanging out near the local station. They have asked Chief of Po,les Hayes to warn all persons that Ioadno about the station is forbidden.

: ANNOUNCEMENTS
At the strand Today and romor,


 From the dawn of creation, down through the ages toN Nthe signing of the peace treaty in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, mankind has been struggling for true democracy; for brotherhood, for peace. This Is the theme of the epic photoplay, The Birth of a Race.
 The first part of this production begins with the wonderfully beautiful scenes of the Garden of Eden and show the happi- ness of the first man and woman.
 Then discord and violence come into the world, and mankind is punished by the first great calamity. the flood. Noah and his family are spared and the worlds history begins anew.
 The modern story introduces us to an American family, Fritz Schmidt, his wife, two sons. and daughter. Schmidt, an American of German birth, owns a great manufacturing pls>s. An envoy of the kaiser persuades him secretly to sell this to the German government, at the opeh- inG~6f the war. At the same time, the elder son returns to Germany, where he has been educated, to Join the army. When America enters the war, all is changed. The daughter Of the family goes abroad as a Red Cross nurse, and the younger stR wishes to enlist in the army. Bnt the poor father has become sO ciiIltoAS a fOVI VI tne NSEtldn govern ment that he cannot save himself. His son goes away in anger. weds the girl of his choice. and goes to the army. Schmidt and his wife arc left alone. in terror of discovery.
 During the young mans absence. his girl wife gets a position in the Schmidt works, which are now making defective shells for the allies, and She discovers that something is wrong. She learns that she is in the midst of traitors and Ger man secret agents. She gathers what in- formation she can about their methods but her work is discovered and she must fight for her life in order to escape. In the meantime her young husband has been wounded in the war and sent back to America to reeuperate. He comee to her aid and together they bring the evifdoers to justice.
 Then, after the arrival of peace, they take up their work again in civil life with prospects of happy future.
