She spoke in the high school on "Clothing During Colonial Days at Old Saratoga." She went on to say, "Settlers came here because of a desire for land. First came the patroons, wealthy and of high social standing; the professionals, such as teachers, lawyers, tradesmen, trappers, and doctors were next. The Jargest class were the indentured tenants, and the Negro slaves were the smallest class, because the chimate and terrain were not conducive to having large plantations which needed many workers, as in the South." The speaker noted that fashions in the Colonies, were dictated by London and Paris, especially from Queen Ann's Court. The patroon gentlemen were dressed most elaborately in velvet and satin waistcoats and breeches of blue; pink and lavender, embroidered with silver thread and ornamented with gold or silver buttons, laces and. jewels.

Their hair was carefully fashioned and nails were manicured, which showed their hands had never worked. "The women, likewise, were gowned in silks and satins, silk stockings and high-heeled slippers. Their hair styles were very a elaborate, requiring a skilled dresser to arrange, and hair was adorned with many jewels," she added. Mrs. Bullard said the professional people copied these styles with little difficulty since pirateering put many fabrics on the market at New York and Albany.

These people tempered the styles to meet their daily life requirements. The hair styles were not so elaborate. The men relinquished the silk for leggings and moccasins except for special occasions. Their waistcoats followed more the military trend and were. very -trim and form-fitting with less elaborate trimming.

The indentured tenant was divided into two groups, the one who was fortunate to settle on rich, fertile land which produced enough to enable him to pay his indenture, own his land and have a small amount of cash. This group dressed petter than the group who labored ear after year, making a meager living and never enough to gain places of their own. The indentured man and his family, the speaker said, were usually industrious. He could hunt and trap freely and the hides were entirely his, no part- having to go to the patron. Trading in skins gave him cash for purchase of certain foods and ammunition.

The skins also provided clothing. The men wore deer skin tunics, moreeches, leggings and moccasins. A wide belt held his hunting knife.

An increase in the number of pleasure craft traveling through the Champlain Division of the Barge Canal is noted this summer. The yachts are of assorted sizes, ranging from the modest cruiser to two-deck luxury ships.

The largest seen this summer passed south through Lock 7 Thursday afternoon after a two-week trip through Lake Champlain. The boat was over 100 feet long and had two full decks. Almost every night one or more yachts come in to the terminal on the Hudson River, located at the rear of the business section between the state highway office and the village park. Most of them stay over night although occasionally one docks here for a longer stay. A large yacht, "Moby Dick," was tied up here Thursday night.

While some of the boats traveling through here come from Long Island or places not much farther away, some them come from Louisiana, Florida and other southern states, traveling coastal waters before entering the Hudson at New York. In order to conserve water, practice which has been in effect for years, pleasure craft are only locked through the canal every two hours. Sometimes this means a wait of two or more hours for the water tourists. It is not unusual to have eight or nine boats going through the locks at one time and sometimes there are as many as 15 yachts at once. PLAN COMMUNION Holy Communion will be celebrated in St.

James' 'Church tomorrow at 8 and 10:30 a.m. by the vicar, the Rev. Paul E. Sanford. The Episcopal service of morning prayer will be read at 11 a.m.

tomorrow at St, Timothy's Chapel, 310 Gansevoort with the Rev. Bruce LeBarron, Deacon-in-Charge of St. Timothy's, as officiant. Father LeBarron will preach on the text "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before Thee and no more worthy to be called Thy son." The text is taken from the Gospel according to St. Luke, 15th chapter.

It is a part of the parable about the prodigal son which Jesus spoke to show that God's forgiveness and love are completely free, totally undeserved and without limit. The First Lesson, taken from the Apocryphia, is from the Book of the Wisdom of Solomon, a part of the 11th and 12th chapters. It is of particular interest to Christians inasmuch as the Book of Wisdom was one of the books our Lord Jesus Christ knew best and to which He often referred in His public ministry, Father LeBarron points out. To Discuss Government Al Baptist Worship "The Christian Relation to Human Government" will be discussed by the Rev. Nevin Korb, pastor of the First Baptist Church, tomorrow at the 11 a.m.

25 while a powder horn was slung over his shoulder. A musket completed the outfit. Rabbit skins were used for infants' clothing. Hides were also used as blankets, stretched on for beds, to cover doorways general were frames, very useful. Women raised flax and made it into linen.

Wool was scarce and not in general use. Women learned to dye the linen with butternuts, sumac, indigo and tansy, and with ingenious handling they produced many attractive colors. Women wore a shift, like a simple belted nightgown, several petticoats a skirt and blouse. Over this, if it could be afforded, was worn a shawl. The was usually braided, especially among the Dutch.

In summer the petticoats were discardand when very hot they wore only the shift. In winter, Mrs. Bullard said, a sacque, shapeless outer garment opened up the front and added either buttoned or tied together, was for warmth. This was lined and interlined with whatever was available for warmth. In -summer; women bonnets of similar fashion as a protection from sun and heat.

Women wove straw for these bonnets which gave them a little money when sold to patroon families. On Sunday the families donned the best they possessed and walked on footpaths for five to ten miles to attend the Dutch Reformed Church. The people were Dutch, English, Swedish, Scotch, Irish and French. "They were a mixture of hard -working folks. When the Revolution came these men left their homes and, donned in.

their deerskins, joined to fight for freedom. It is logical to assume that there were few velvet and satin breeches following the steps of Arnold and Morgan at Saratoga to win that decisive battle," the speaker concluded. During the business session it was voted to have- Mrs. Bullard represent the community at the launching ceremony of the Carrier Saratoga, to be held at the Brooklyn Navy Yard Oct. 8.
