yards of cold" and he wasn't SO far
from right. One never knows what
the next change in the weather will
be, and the gray, rainy morning Is
likely to be the preclude to an after
noon OF sunshine and ~cloudless skies.
So 1t is with due consideration for its
appearance when stormy clouds have
passed, that one chooses her rainy
day apparel. Gone the days when
all the clothes unfit for pleasant-day
wear were hung aside as stormy-day
attire. The suit. the hat. the long top
coat that is no longer fresh and equal
to the revealing glare of the sun, is
even less appropriate for wear on
rainy days. when one certainly needs
the moral support of smart clothes
to counteract the dreary influence of
the weather.

Mid season Models Are Colorful

Mid-Season Models Are Colorful
The newest models are touched with
color in q satisfying way. They are
hardly what would call vivid
Just gay-and they are reminiscent
Of the out-of-doors in summer time,
with It's rarely lovely colorings. It is
one way Of satisfying the demand for
change. for while the winter mode
has been a colorful in every sense
Of the word. it has not the same
tints. though It may have the same
colors. Felt, satin, taffeta, duvetyn
velvet and novelty weaves are the
chief medium Of expression of the
right now" millinery mode, which Is,
above all else, a mode Of smartness.
While the mode of real charm is
always he simple one. however de-
.viously arrived at. the models at this
particular time lay an even greater
stress on the value of linens and the
clever application of trimming. The
result is sou1-satisfying. 1t means a
mode that tempts - and frequently
proves the downfall-of the home
milliner, unless she is unusually
clever. For the simple thing is usually
the hardest OF achievement when 1t
comes to fashion. Tailored trimmings,
velvet, lace and ribbon-with a slight
accent on the ribbon-are the favorite
trimmings of the hour.
Pictured Hats Show Trend of Mode
The five hats grouped above are
types" SO far as present day ten
denotes In millinery are concerned. In
materials, trimmings and severely
simple lines they are the best of the
offerings of designers. The devotee
to the small hat will promptly recog-
nize the charm of the model made of
a novelty material in an unusual
shane. It Is q most considerate sort

ask for a smart, yet practical rainy
day outfit. And when afternoon tea
or the matinee makes a semi-dress
costume desirable it would be disap-
pointing for the clouds to threaten

brella that will do valiant service in

Certainly Youth may take sudden

TT CYNIC, perhaps. yet something
of q philosopher-ths author
Of the assertion that few sor-
" rows come to q woman that q
new hat will not cure. While no one
would take the statement literally. It
has a certain psychological signin-
canoe that anyone will admit, and
that significance has to do with the
influence OF clothes on the morale,
and their undoubted aid TO ones con-
fdence and ultimate success. Perhaps
a new hat will not wholly cur q
broken heart, but it will put It's wearer
in a frame of mind to better bear
her grief! Just at this season, for one
reason or another, the average woman
feels the urge of hat buying.
Shop windows hint Of Spring,
though Spring is yet far away, and
the reason is obvious. Wardrobes are
being stocked for a ~soJourn in the
tropics. where one battles and dimes
and dances out of doors; where
breezes are balmy and skies are cloud
less. So buyers are striving to meet
the demand for clothes that will be
appropriate IN a land Of summer,
while we are still In the grip of win
ter. The frocks and wraps and hats
in the windows are something OF a
forecast OF the fashions Of a Northern
summer, ever as they picture the
reality of the Northern winter. And
so 1t Is that while some shops display
winter modes. others feature those
of Spring and Summer. and yet others
make much OF what might be happily
termed "in-between" models. 1t is
not unusual to see fur hats. straw
hats. and hats Of velvet. felt, brocade
and novelty fabrics in the same dis
play, for all three are right now in
vogue.
Fur Hats An Important Item
AS long as the weather is cold fur
coats and wraps will be worn. and
there will be need of the hat
Of fur and satin, or fur and brocade.
1t is the logical hat for the purpose,
and beautiful models may be had with
only enough of the fur to make the
hat match" the wrap. the rest of
satin, cloth of gold or silver, brocade
or duvetyn-any fabric that will END
to tighten the general effect. Such

wardrobe of the wornan who wraps

months Of winter.
The Hat of Straw
Every now and then one glimpses a
gay little hat of straw, or some ma
teriaI resembling It. We may insist
that it is out OF place with a heavy
coat on a wintry day, but we like it
Dust the same. It MAJ not be exactly
consistent, out It is a happy reminder
that Spring is on its way, and warm
winds will soon be coming up from
the South to blow ~velvets, furs and all
their Xix into a season past-so we are
grateful for the fascinating little hat
of straw. If one sees less of the straw
hat than in other winter seasons. !" is
because we do not jump from winter
to summer In a day, buying the spring
hat the day after Christmas and the
winter hat in July. Between the truly
summer hat and the winter hat. fur oil
feather trimmed, there Is the happy
medium of the colorful felt; the satin
or taffeta hat: the velvet model. light
ened by Grapes or brim Of lace. and
the novelty model. whose material re-
sembles straw, but isn't.

THE C OF WHITE

TN a reason of regal fabrics and
radiant colors it Is not strange that
fashion should have to a
royal fur. So 1t is that she employs
ermine as a medium for the expression
of chic charm in Coates for afternoon
and evening wear. Such a coatee Is
really beautiful, when worn with a
OF velvet or rich brocade. and
the more colorful the fabric of the
gown, the more gorgeous the effect
produced. Other white furs, pliable
and workable. are used with the same
satisfactory results. A close hat of the

CANNOT Longer
REMAIN TEACHER
SAYS MISS FR|El

Following is a statement made by
MISS Margaret NJ. Friel teacher in
the Waterville schools. for the past
II years relative to her resignation
as teacher of English in the New
Junior High school:
In order that the citizens of Wa
terville and the parents of my pupils
might understand the true facts of
the case relative to my resignation,
! wish to take this opportunity to Of
fer an explanation"
I'm my resignation, and previously,
l requested that the seniority rule be
observed in the assignment of teach
ers in the English department of the
Junior High school. This has not
been done though as yet no satisfac-
tory explanation has been offered by
the superintendent or any of the
school authorities while my ability
as q teacher has been admitted with
out reservation.
AT the meeting of the Board of
Education. Friday evening, the su-
perintendent stated that the condi-
ton could be changed but that he
was unwilling to do anything about
1t. After the action of the Board Of
Education on Friday evening as pub
lished in the Daily Kennebec Jour-
nal and Waterville Morning Sentinel
of Saturday, I must necessarily re-
fuse to remain longer as a teacher
in the Waterville schools. I appre-
ciate the action of the board in ask
ing me to reconsider my resignation
but in view Of the further action en-
dorsing the stand of the superintend-
ent it is manifestly impossible for
me to do so.
I'm spite of my keen interest in
the teaching profession as we'll as
my devotion to it-and that in the
schools of my own city-my sense
of justice and honor will not permit
me to teach a moment longer under
the supervision of the present SUI
perintendent. after his treatment of
me at the Board Meeting on Friday
evening. I believe no fair minded
parent would expect me to do so.
Il feel very deeply the indigna-
ton and prosecutions heaped upon
me by the present superintendent of
schools in his campaign of spite
against not only those who objected
to the removal from the high school
of Mr.. West two years ago (by the
men, women or children) but those
who were in any way associated with
the people who felt they had the
best interests of Waterville at heart
and who thought their constitutional
righs as citizens. permitted them to
protest an injustice. 1t would seem
that anyone exercising the right of
protest, or at least the right of max
ing known his views, or anything
pertaining to the schools. unless they
be in accord with the views of the
present superintendent. must suffer.
THE question of my truth and
veracity which no one heretofore has
ever questioned, I am more than
willing to leave at the bar of pub
lie opinion.
Il wish to thank all of these citi-
zens of Waterville who have mani
tested so generously to me their dis
pleasure at the injustice accorded
me-" This letter is not intended to
start a controversy either in the
press or in any other manner: but I
do wish the public to understand
thoroughly my position in the mat
ter"
