The rise in temperature yesterday
was very apparent in Waterville.
The snow began to melt slightly and
a good many auto drivers who have
not been bringing their cars down
street appeared again yesterday. The
weather was not warm enough to
effect the skating Kinks of the city
TO any appreciable extent and all OF
them were crowded with skaters day
and evening. To the casual observer
It would seem that the children play
ing on the banks of the Kennebec
and running far out on the ice above
the dam are INDUCING in a danger
ons sport. The water runs through
this part fairly, swiftly when the
mills are running and undermine the
ice to some extent.

The thirty third, annual congress Of
the Daughters of the american Revo-
luton while larger than the congresses
of past years was conspicuously lacking
in the social and sartorial interest that
ordinarily goes with the meeting of this
great and still growing society of Amer
lean women.
There were to be sure some smart
gowns to be seen but by day or by eve
ming this most important of all women s
conventions was not the spring FASH
ions show Washington has come to ex-
pect with the assembling of the Daugh-
ters, and the anniversary of the Battle
of Lexington.
Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, who
brought her first year as president gen.
eral to a very successful close with this
anniversary, was model of good dress
ing every day and every hour. Fur
thermore being a woman of common
sense as we'll as independence of char
acter she did not appear In different
gown each day as some affluent Daugh-
tiers in the past have been known to
do. r.. 49,
The gown in which Mrs. Cook opened
the congress was of gray canton crepe,
a straight line model with long close
tunic bordered from the hip to the
edge of the scalloped hem in eyelet en-
broidery with delicate tracery of silver
The neck was square and the sleeves
long. but not tight. They opened from
the shoulder but were fastened until
the elbow then allowed to flow in a
graceful bell shape.
The hat worn with this was fine
horse hair braid in gray with the. same
colored ostrich plumes going about the
crown but held close to the base of
the crown by narrow band of rhine
stones.
