"What Shadows We A
We Pi]
An Old Citizen Recalls Many T
the Town
In 1859 t he town was innch smaller than
it is today. There wore then perhaps not
over 800 white inhabitants. No attempt is
made to recall the names of any of the
women and children of that year. The
effort is to mention the name of every
man in town at that time, and if I have
made many errors of omission, please try
the job yourself.

SURVIVORS.
Of the great number of names as given

have passed to the great beyond. Those

ist, 1912, are:

Hamlin, A. B.
Hughes, Cicero.
Hughey, T. SI.

Woodhurst, Andrew.
Wileon, Androw.
Wiison, Hugh.
With a tingle exception, I believe !
the living have llnished their work, and
are now only waiting the summons which
none of us are in haste to receive. If any
body can add missing names, I shall be
glad for him to do so. I desire,to complete
the list so as to have a correct historical
record. Please correct errors. I think I
knew the people in 1859 better than I know
the people of the town today, but fear that
the names of some citizens of ^9 may
b ave been omitted. ' '

TAFFETA IN
HIGH FAVOR
Probably the most
Popular, but Many
Other Light Mate
rials Also Are Used?
Coat and Skirt Lines
NEW YORK.?Although there la
no falling off In ihe popularity
of taffeta for every sort of tail
ored suit from the elaborate
three piece affair designed for
luncheons and oalllng to the simplest
type of the trotting coat and Bklrt
sostume, many of the models shown
by the exclusive shops during the past
week prove that several other mate
rials have been found equally adapt
able to the long lines and complicated
iraperles now In vogue.
The soft satina, gros grains and
Bven some of the silk poplins have
been made up successfully in the
coquettish little Jackets edged with
3elf shlrrlngs that are the rage of the
moment, and they }end themselves
readily to the tunic and oversklrt ef
fects seen In combination with these.
Several charming suits In bengaline
were noted among the exhibits of the
latest importations, but these were
necessarily built on straight lines and
the skirts were In all cases either ol
Lhe straight gored or the circular vari
ety with no trimming whatever, ex
cept when rows of buttons were used
to carry out a design started on the
soat.
An effective model In Edison Diue
bengallne seen In a shop on Fifth ave
nue bad a long coat reaching almost
to the knees at the sides and In the
bade, but cut away sharply In front
lust at the waist line. It was fastened
vltb four jet buttons, and the lines of
the black satin shawl revere were fol
lowed out In the skirt, which was cut
&way about a foot above the hem to
ihow an underskirt of black satin.
Trimmings of Sleeve.
The close fitting sleeves were of
three^uarter length, and were finished
Rith deep cuffs of the black satin and
trills of pleated white point d'esprlt
Black mousquetalre gloves, patent
leather pumps with silver buckles,
ind a hat of blue Milan straw trimmed
on the left side with a black wing
were worn with this suit, which would
be suitable for many occasions.
Buttons were used effectively on a
DiacK aDQ waive iroumg huh ui uuu
ton serge, the Jacket of which was
out somewhat on the lines of the Nor
(oik, and confined at the waist line by
ft broad patent leather belt. The
notched revers were faced with white
ftnd edged with black satin, the latter
material being used also as a covering
tor the row of buttons which fastened
the ooat a little to the right of ttw
center and were continued almost to
the bottom of the plain narrow gored
iklrt. The sleeves were long.
The skirt of a charming model li
white taffeta was garnished with ruf
lea five Inches In depth gathered sc
as to show no extra fulness at the
bottom, ^hlle the short coat wore
with It was fitted closely to the figure
In a style that suggested the UneB ol
the JL<ouls XV. jacket This coat aisc
bad the three-quarter sleeve, which Is
& fad of the moment In Paris, and ma;
be characteristic of all but the most
severely tailored coats In mannlst
ma<arlola fr?i? onma mnntha tn
Tbe loose straight back effects ar<
seen on most of tbe double-breasted
coats made up In tbe blue black and
gray serges which will be much uoed
for morning wear on cool days. The
white whipcord a, on the other hand,
we characterised by more formal
tines, and In many Instances are la^
Ishly trimmed with buttons and show
elaborate designs In gold and (sllvei
embroidery on collar and revers.
Pretty ThlnQs in Serge.
Pretty models In white and pic
striped serges are now shown, al
though they will not be worn mucl
for several weeks. Many of these hav<
black or colored revers of satin oi
taffeta, and others are trimmed wlU
rows of sQk braid 'and tiny crochel
oovered buttons. Pearl buttons and
buckles are used on tbe belted-ln de
signs, and the skirt and coat of on*
U1UUU1 W?RJ WlUi WUiJ
ruffles of self-colored taffeta.
The white serge skirt In comblna
Hon with one of the many types ol
loosesklrted blouses Is muoh used foi
tenuis. With It Is worn a striped coal
of blue and white, orange and white
red and white, or green and white
Combinations of the various college
colors are also seen.
Russian blouses In chiffon cloth em
broldered in Persian colorings are be
lng shown by some houses and ar<
meant to be worn over Bklrts of taf
feta, satin, charmeuse or messallne
This combination, If It is worn at aL
by New York women, will probablj
not become one of the popular modet
of the season. The blouses In th<
thinner materials are anything but
durable, and unless they are cut an<2
fitted by an expert they have a negll
gee effect which the well groomec
woman does not like. In llnons anc
lightweight serges, these blouses are
charming, and are especially becom
lng to slender figures.
Tailored 8hlrt Waists.
The strlotly tailored shirt waist li
always modish for morning and earl}
afternoon wear with the severe!
models of coats and skirts. It Is noi
altogether suitable ror comoioauoi
with Bilk or dressy serge models. Jfloi
these an a^pr ently unlimited variety
of etyles are being offered In lingerie
Signs That Foretell Weather.
The country dweller has a thousand
weather Blgns that the city man never
knows. A red sunset means very little
to the man In the Btreet, but to the
man among the lanes it Indicates rain
and bad weather. Smoke that rises
straight in the air is another of the
signs that a farmer notices and fore
tells bad weather. Circles about the
moon and sun, streaks of greasy
clouds and the peculiar actions ol
birds and domestic animals are all in
dications of some change in tbe
weather to the man wfeose sye haa
trajjgftjggnicuntin tU f.

. lace, chiffon, moussellne, marquisette,
and all the soft silks and satins.
The Jeanne d'Arc cuirass which
comes in all the heavy laces as well
as In. the thinner varieties, and which
follows the lines of the figure some
what closely, Is low necked and sleeve
less, and therefore well adapted to be
worn over chiffon blouses that are
toned to match the skirt. Many wom
en dislike the skirt and waist effect,
and yet do not fancy the three-piece
suit for warm weather. Such women
will undoubtedly welcome the appear
ance of the peplum blouse which Is
one of the novelties of the week.
> This blouse, which comes In lln
gerie and all the durable laces as
well as In silk and marquisette, Is fro
quently cut on the surplice lines, and
' the peplum consists either of a fitted
. skirt stitched on at the 'waistline, or
of some variety of loose drapery
i which starts at the same point. On
; some of the more elaborate models
the ends of the drapery are weighted
down with gold or silver tassels. The
shorter peplums are frequently fin
lshed with a full rosette of pompadour
, ribbon, and sometimes ribbon Is ar
i ranged to show a sash effect at the
> back or on the left side,
i Necks of Lingerie Blouse,
i Dutch necks are still used on many
i of the prettiest lingerie blouses, but
. the stock collar Is rapidly gaining
favor among the women who pride
i themselves on the correctness of their
t tailored clothes, and Is likely to take
i first place at least during the early
spring. For warmer days nothing is
; more oharmlng than the Innumerable
, varieties of sailor and round collars
. which the shops are showing in hand
embroidered lingerie and In baby
, Irish lace.
The suspender blouse Is ?nJoylng a (
, temporary vogue. One of the smart

of the Norfolk Jacket, Is loosely belt
1 ed at the waist and the sleeves are
loose enough to allow entire freedom
1 to the arms. A fiat collar about the
| depth of the Eton 1b sewed on the
blouse, and it may be worn either
[ with or without a tie; a loosely knot

tureequenesa.
We show a pretty model of a re

For Your Next Lace Yoke.
1 A woman who always has exquisite
ly fine lace yokes In her gowns and
yet who dresses on a limited Income,
I told her secret Instead of purchasing
' the lace yoke and stock collar attached
1 ?that so rarely fits?she watches for
) sales of turn-down collars. Any large
* Dutch collar can be used back part
1 front, and forms a dainty yoke. White
stock collars that match sufficiently
well can usually be picked up at slight
cost, and the combination Is good, so
much more Offeotive than the ready
made article.
Care of the Hair at Night,
On retiring at night the hair should
be carefully brushed, but not bound
up Or plaited. It should be allowed to
t j fall over the pillow, not under the
I! head and shoulders, so that It will get
f as much air aa possible. Air Is most
Important for the nutrition of the
hair, and the custom 6t spreading the
hair out at night Is one that has long,
been practiced hy the Japanese beUgf.
