the present era in fur manipulation
for now there are furs that are
almost as supple and thin as fabrics
at least as fabrics thick enough
to provide adequate warmth III
Winter.
1t is always a good plan for the
stout woman to wear thin troCkS
even in Winter-beCause such mate
rials as georgette and crepe de chine
are very much more slender in ap-
pearance than the heavy wooden
materials Then she Will need u
really warm coat-and if she can
afford broadtail or some other one
of the slender" furs She is indeed
fortunate. There is an appearance
of luxury and comfort about u fur
coat in Winter that is usually most
becoming To the woman of larger
proportions-wh is bound to look
her worst when she wears anything
skinny or meager.

selection for afternoon or evening is
sleeveless frock with sort of crepe
drapery of lace at the back and over
the shoulders.
The "V" neckline and the surplice
closing are always we'll chosen by
the stout woman. But the "V" should
be deep and will, therefore, usually
need a straight inset at the front.
The short ''V' is not a good choice
unless one side drapes over and car
ries an unbroken line to the waist or
hips.
1t is we'll known fact that stout
women usually have fine skins, and
appear to far better advantage in
decollete than their leaner sisters. OF
this fact they should take advantage
and leave the new high-collared
frocks for the spindle shanks who
have less attractive necks to show.

there has been some device or
contraption OF Women'S clothes
L the real role of which has been to
make women look plumper or
rounder. Take bustles, hoOped skirts,
stnma"hers, closely nodded bodies.
slender wrists, slender ankles. slen-
der necks and usually slender waists
have been deemed beautiful. But the
effect Of bodily roundness has been a
fashionable necessity.
Tutil within the era of the present
generation. when very slim women
went to the dreSSmakerS, one of the
first things to consider was the max
ing oT skillfully padded lining.
Mrag"r buSts. sCraWny hips. angular
shoulders and a tatnesS Of outline
were regarded as defects of nature
which it was the duty of the dress
maker to conceal. Otherwise the fash
ionable Silhouette could not be
achieved.
Ii any one uses paddingS now, it is
certainly not through a desire for the
fashionable silhouette. II is because
of thiS that one has to admit that
women d. not dress primarily to
please men. because most men are
still primitive. or crude, or ignorant
enou@h Of fashions to like bodily
curves, At the same time, women
argue, mon prefer smart women, and
a woman can't wear smart clothes un-
less she at least looks slender.
The result of this is that when
woman begins 10 take q keen interest
IN her clothes and fashion she usually
makes a more Ur less valiant effort to
lose extra weight, because, while

accentuates the shortness Of stout
neck and gives the cheeks a bulging
appearance that is anything but be-
coming.
The best furs for the woman who
is stout-according to a fur expert
are mink, natural muskrat silver
muskrat, dyed muskrat-Which is
Hudson seal-kolinsky, natural or
dyed squirrel, flat caracul and the
cony, either marmot-dyed. seal-dyed
, or beaver-dyed. FurS that are not
appropriate for women of this genre
are skunk, raccoon, fitch. marten,
badger, wolf, fox and opossum.
Color has much to do with choosing
suitable fur just as it has in choos-
ing a frock. Light colors in general
are "large'-especially grays and
beiges. These tones by way of con-
traSt or as accessories are we'll chosen
because they are smart--but avoid the
all-beige or gray ensemble. For the

Ted Fools the Principal.

Ted Thornton was not really bad.
He just wanted every one to think
that he was. Every fellow who was
not inventing some new brand of
mischief every half hour was

At first Miss Brown had seated Ted
right up in front of her desk, where
she could keep her eye on him all
during study hour. But her poor eye
soon got so tired registering all that
Ted thought up to do that in despera-
tiOn she moved him away back in the
corner all by himself.
And now Ted was sitting there

and his eyes We're glued to the page.

Ted was Just ready to start when
the door opened and the principal en-
tered the room. Ted sat up straight
and looked pale. lie always felt just
like drowning man whenever the
principal came near him. That is to
say his past sins quickly passed
through his mind.
Mr.. Grady stopped and spoke to
Miss Brown. His back was turned
toward Ted, but he distinctly heard
him mention his name. The other
boys and girls looked at Ted and
laughed. Here's where you get It,"
Jack Clark whispered. Ted saw him

Eight Years Ago.

Most of you boys and girls are too
young to remember clearly the great
rejoicing that filled America on No
vember II, 1918, when the news of
the end of the Great War was flashed
over the country. People everywhere
went wild with joy. After years of
bloodshed and privation, the allied
armies had finally won the victory,
and millions of people looked forward
to the return Of loved ones who had
been fighting in France.
On that day patriotism and love of
country were at their height. In the
ordinary everyday life Of today it
may seem to you that there is little
opportunity for expressing your pa
triotism. But the true patriot is not
he who simply shouts and waves a
flag. The man or woman, the boy or
girl, who always lives true to the
ideals of his or her country-quietly
perhaps, but faithfully-is a patriot.
Being q good citizen in peace time
means that you will be ready to serve
your country in time of danger.

Operators Petition For One Cent More De- nied By Public Utili- ties Commission.
City Wins Verdict After Stiff Fight-Board Finds Bookkeeping System Not Reliable.

The public utilities comnlis- sion today rejected a petition for a one-cent increase on New Britain bus lines, declaring four of the six operators are apparently earning a fair re- turn on their investments with the present fare, while &C., counts of the remaining two do not clearly indicate the ab- sence of a fair return.
 Application of the jitneurs for an increase in rates was presented by Nair & Nair and was vigorously fought by Mayor A. M. Paonessa, Sena- tor Edward F. Hall, Chairman F. L. Conlon of the board of public works, Chairman F. s. Caldwell of the railroads con- mittee, Alderman John F. Maerz and Edward o. Kill bourne, a former member of the school committee.
 When it was first announced that the operators would pe- tition for permission to in- crease fares, the statement was made that transfers would be issued to patrons desiring them. At the hearing before the public utilities commission, counsel for the operators de- clared that it was not intended
 to issue transfers. This oc- casioned great surprise among the remonstrants, wkD had
 been led to believe that a
 transfer system would be in-
 augurated if the petition were
 granted.
 The hearing, held at the old sen , ate chamber in the state capitol, . January 27, consumed an entire day,
 Trial of the issue was enlivened by . frequent tilts between counsel for the jitneurs and representatives of the city government, and by spark ling repartee in which Mayor Paon- a essa and Chairman Richard T. Hig- Y, gins of the commission engaged.
