NLD.TIME frocks and the un-
ruff1ed way of yesterdays
rutfled miss have little in
common with the new freedom of
mademoiselle. Nowadays, smart
attire is characterized by SIM
plicity, comfort and discrimination
and all of these most admirable
qualities are to be found in knitted
outerwear. And queen of the midi
summer knitted apparel is the
youthful sweater; it is smart as
a Tuxedo or a jacquette-but the
quintessence of chic is the slipover!
The youthful charm of la gar
come is further accentuated by
the trim tailored lines of the pop
ular slipon. Especially in favor is
the cricket neck sweater in solid
colors with striking borderings in
contrasting stripes.
This tailored sweater follows the
lines of least resistance of the
mode, into the slim silhouette.
Simple and trim, its very lack of
Ostentation lends q touch Of indi-
viduality of the wearer. The
porous texture of a sweater per-
mits the pores to breathe health
fully and allows the natural heat
to escape from the body.
Everywhere, in frocks and suits,
scarves and hats, one sees the de-
lightful predominance of white. But
nowhere is it more attractive and
withal more smart than in the new
cricket sweaters for nnilady! Black
is, of course, striking note when
it stripes the V neck and cuffs,
but two-tone effects in brightly
colorful hues may be used with
equally telling effect.

COBURN NOTES

DR.. Alan X. Foster Of Brookln. n.
Y. was visitor at Coburn yesterday
and spoke to the student body on
various subjects throughout the day.
DIR. Foster has been at Coburn in
past years but he never passed the
whole day at the school before.
Wednesday morning he spoke at the
Chapel exercises on the subject of
Life" In his talk DR.. Foster stress
ed the fact that there are three
things that people do not consider
as very important but which really
are the keynotes to happiness. These
three things are: Wonder, Curiousity
and Meaning.
He said that we do not wonder at
all the new scientific inventions as
we should. that we do not realize
that the modern science IL far more
wonderful than the explorations of
Columbus or Magellan. BY cudious-
ity he meant that we take too much
for granted and do not look into
things as we should. We do not study
the reason for life in our bodies or
the subject Of physiology but are
content to sit back and let ourselves
live without knowing why we are
living DR.. Foster did not explain the
subject Of Meaning" except to state
that we should understand why we
live and the meaning Of our lives.
DR.. Foster also spoke in the diff
ferent class rooms during the day

Attempt of Fire
Bug Manifest
In Late Night Blaze

A fire which showed evidences of in
cendiary origin was discovered in the
buildings on Silver street occupied by
the Waterville Emporium Furniture
store at 11.S0 last night by Deputy
Marshal George H. Simpson. The store
Is owned by Alfred Giguere of this city.
After the flames had been somewhat
subdued. Chief W. w Berry. Assistant
Chief Luke Iyers and several of the
f1remen entering the building found
kerosene-soaked material in the cellar
and on the first floor, and shavings lit
tered the floor in several places.
In one corner of the first floor Just
over where the fire burned the sur
face in the basement a bundle of
light inflamable material smelling
strongly of kerosene was found. De-
putty Marshal Simpson went to Mr..
Giguere's house and called him and
he arrived shortly after the blaze
had been put out. Mr.. Giguere said
that he did not know anything about
how the shavings came to be there
for the place had been swept clean
just before he locked up at q o'clock
Wednesday night.
Deputy Marshal Simpson walked
by the building about 11.3O and saw
smoke coming out of the building
near the sidewalk. He rang in box
20 and the department responded
promptly.
The fire did not seem very big
when the men, arrived but 1t kept
breaking out anew after the water
had been turned on and large guam
titles of shavings and excelsior
soaked with kerosene were dumped
out of tn basement by the firemen
upon the ground outside where dirt
had to be shoveled onto the pile to
eXtinguish the flames.
Very little damage was done from
smoke as the blaze did not touch any
or the furniture. Mr.. GiSuere said
that he was insured.
