Dorset people have enjoyed Grain
bow Sociable'' lately and this is the way
the Manchester Journal describes it:
'"The Rainbow Sociable,' at the hotel,
last Thursday eve., was great success,
being one of the prettiest ever held here
The only regret was the dark and rainy
evening prevented some from a dis
lance from attending. AS such an affair
was novelty here there was great curl
osity manifested and the six ladies who
had the matter in charge, kept the de-
tails of the affair a profound secret
Those who attended found in the hall a
large number of japanese lanterns. Over
each door the guests passed through was
a rainbow of the finest tissue paper, and
in the rooms pictures in every available
place and the hanging lamps were adorn-
ed in the same manner with all the col
ors of the rainbow. The napkins were
of the same material and the six enter
tanners wore each a tiny cap with the
various cOlOrs, and on table under one
of the rainbows was table covered with
bows, rosettes, ETC., of various COloTs.
As each guest entered one of these was
pinned upon the coat or dress, and be-
fore supper each gentleman was told to
find the lady wearing the corresponding
color as his partner at the table, and this
afforded a great deal of amusement. Lit
tie Bernie Sheldon, years old, grand
son and pet of the household was bound
not to get left Walking up to table and
demanding rosette he marched into
the parler remarking, Now must find
my girl" The supper table was also
decorated, huge cake with variegated
trimmings forming one of the attrac-
tions. Many thanks are due to the
family for opening their house, and also
to the daughter, Mrs. Sheldon and to the
other ladies in charge for their untiring
efforts in making the occasion the great
success it was.

rangements to visit England in June,
the relatives of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith being
all in that country. He will be absent
about three months.
A light rain Saturday made the grass
look green in places, but since then it has
been dry and cold. Vegetation will not
advance as long as it freezes nights or
comes very near to freezing, but it is a
SPLENDID time to pillow and get ready for
the harvest which is promised us.
The repairs on the lecture room of the
Congregation church having been nearly
completed, services were held their last
Sunday and will be in the future until
the church is completed. The lecture
room has been greatly improved. 1t is
nearly twice as large as before and will
accommodate the usual Sunday congrega-
ton with room to spare. The ceiling,
stained with light tints, makes band
some appearance and the ventilation is
greatly improved. 1t is now very
pleasant room and the chars are much
more comfortable than the old seats
were.

There was good attendance at Esta-
brooks Opera House, Saturday evening,
the occasion being the reorganization of
the Republican Club. The members of
this party are wide awake this year and
bound to poll big vote. Col. Colburn,
F. C. Archibald, ESQ.,, and the editor of
the journal made remarks on the politi-
cal situation and urged the Republicans
to do their duty in the coming canvass.
The Manchester Drum Corps was on
hand and played with great deal of
enthusiasm, though some of the mem
bers are Democrats, probably the Repub-
lican members will return the compli-
ment by putting in their best ticks at the
first Democratic meeting. The officers
elected were: Col. Colburn, President;
E. G. Owls, F. G. Archibald, w. H. Bene-
dict, G. X. Bucklin, A. b. Connor, Vice
Presidents; John II. Whipple, Secretary /;
j. N. Hard, Treasurer; John G. Black
mer. P. w. Orvis, A. l.. Graves, Execu-
tive Committee. 1t was voted that the
Executive Committee prepare a list of
District Committee men, to be elected at
a meeting of the club to be called soon.
1t is the design of the club to make a
thorough canvass and an opportunity will
be given to all who are so disposed to
join the club. There were some present
from Dorset and Arlington and clubs
will probably be formed in those and
other towns.

R-WE have received from Richard
A. Saalfield, 074, 076 and 07S Tenth Az
enue. New York, the first number of a
musical monthly entitled, The New York
Musical Monthly. 1t is a marvel of
cheapness and .eX lence. 1t fairly stag
gers us. How any publisher can afford
to give so much flor so little surprises
us. We all know what music costs, but
here is publication of - pages of mu-
sic, large size, large print, equal in every
respect to high priced music, which is
offered to the public at 10 cents per copy;
or, Sl.5O per year, postpaid. The num-
Der to hand contains. Nightingale
Song from the Tyrolean, by Genee ;
"Ta-ra-ra BOom-de-ay," by Ascher;
love and Duty" Song by Dryden;
"Serenata" Qtaliau) Waltz, by Jaxone;
"Kitsmin Schottische Miitaire," by
Leggett; "DarkIe's Dream" by Lansing;
'Tyrolean" Waltz, by Pratt; any one of
which is worth the price asked, while
the "Ta-ra-ra Boom decay" is the piece
that is being sung everywhere and made
such a success in London and Paris as
to increase certain singers salary from
$50 week to 500 per night. The pub
fishers advise us the May number will
contain "Paderwski's" Melodie; the
famous song "For You; the beautiful
Loves Dream After the Ball. Waltz,
by Czibulka; 'Paderewski's Menuet'' |;
Poor Girl Didn't Know; the great
song, "My Son, My Son, My Only Son" ;
the famous Swedish Song "Tystnad";
and last, but not least, MOntenegro's
famous "Oxford Berlin Polka" which
is danced everywhere.
This monthly is printed on elegant
paper, and we can hardly say enough of
it. Our subscribers would do well to
send - cents for a sample copy, or, bet
ter still Sl.50 for yearly subsc ription
to the publisher.
