What They Are Wearing.
Straight line coats and suits
were most conspicuous. The trim
double breasted suits worn with
fur neckpieces were most chic
An absence of all braids and cord
ed designs were noted. The suits
gained their smartness by their
utter simplicity. The same may
be said for the coats
As usual plaids il. huge designs
and bright colors were worn by
the younger girls. Much discus
sion as to the popularity of the
cape has been going on. judging

were noted mostly on the plaie
coats mentioned and their wear

blue is the choice do these scarfs
come into their own as bright
ening touch. Large leather bags
of every shade were noted.
The possibility of large hats be
ing worn by women in the spring
has been greatly talked about and
much speculation has been abroad
However, if the Boardwalk is to
be criterion picture hats and
dropping crowns will not make ar
appearance worth talking about

The gigelot hat, as has been ex-
pected, was most popular, while
the tam-o'- shanter is not to be
overlooked. The tam-o'-shanter

BORROWING TROUBLE

'fiave q heart" pleads Governor
Smith Of New York in a tone inn
plying he is resigned to his fate, also
that he knows what that fate will
be SO far as denomination for the
governorship is concerned.
His denial Of any desire to be Gov
ernor for the next two years, assum.
ing he could get It, Is credible. He
now has all the advantage Of public
ity which might serve him In his
aspirations for the Presidency and
and denomination as Governor might,
under some circumstances prove det-
rimental rather than helpful.
He evidently Is a believer in party
loyalty. in the tradition Of party ser
vice regardless of personal pref
erence, even of his health, which is
understood not to lie Of the best. He
himself decares, that while 1t would
do him no good to be nominated to
the presidency and have his health
shattered, II will have to do" that
which the Democratic State Coven-
ton asks to have done.
All things considered, the last ma
tional convention of the party In
cluded, Governor Smith would not
seem warranted in borrowing trouble
about his health being impaired in
the White House.

As the little rabbit hurried down

His little candy cane held tight,
His knapsack by his side,
From out a cavern, deep and dim,
A mountain Elf called out to him.

of course, who it might be-.

NEED AWAKENING

In one sense 1t is as much a civic

important fact also for acting upon

The 1900 posts Of the Legion are
making an effort to awaken the pub
lie from its indifference to this i'm
portant duty Of voting at the cleo
tions. Commander McQuigg Is so
impressed by the situation that he
attributes much of the crime wave to
this indifference.
That this in a measure is warrant
ed needs little explanation. In city

ENCOURAGE DISQUALIFICATION

Whatever conclusions respecting
the transmitting Of electrical power
from Names waters to other States
may ultimately be arrived at, 1t is
gratifying to observe the efforts be-
ing made to apply it here at home.
cation OF our steam railroads, the
consideration now being given to
this by the Maine Central Railroad
being, we trust, the beginning Of an
effort productive of advantage to all
concerned.
The situation of railroad In
Maine. where the waters, so much
OF them, flow unfretted to the sea
with valuable power going to waste,
hauling fuel from far-away mines
with which to generate power, hardly
tallies with the effort to have Maine
do for herself that which she is best
fitted to do. But they tell us the
change from steam to electricity and
the consequent scrapping Of equip
ment now in use is a very expensive
undertaking at the outset, and we
know something about the condition
in which the Federal Government
left our railroads when these were
turned back to corporation manage
ment. There was overhead to cut
down, extravagent management to
curtail, funds to be secured, not
through Congressional appropriations
but by way of the channels of bust
ness. Under all the conditions 1t
seems no cause for wonderment that
our engines continue to burn the
coal they haul long distances.
Electrical equipment has been
found to be admirably suited to the
winter work of railroads in the
Northwest and lines running near
coal fields are electrically equipped
because Of the superior advantage so
secured. Maine should profit from
this development. Not only would
the work of the railroads, and posi-
bly,, once installed. the cost of power
be improved, there would be induce
ment for hydro electrical development
! and advantages for us. All being in
terested in the success of the under
taking all should encourage it.
