towards her that Andrew held his down
bent head. A wan, frail-looking Great
ure she was, dressed in black, with a
close-ftting old-fashioned bonnet tied
under her chin in a bow of broad black
ribbon. Her hair, smoothed evenly upon
her forehead, shimmered silvery as the
new-churned foam in the bay. She
moved haltingly. even with the aid of an
oaken stan and the helping arm of her
companion.
Withdrawing her arm, she paused In
the pathway. and pointed her stick to-
wards the bare-healed old fisherman. In
thin, quayering tones, as If the words
were said by rote, there being no vehe-
mence in her utterance, she cried: "Ah,
/ knaw ye-I knaw We, Ban ye, for no

Andrew did not stir limb, but stood
there with dofTed hat, his head bowed
and his name of gray hair rufiiing In
the breeze. We had left the church
behind, the deep-rutted lane, the narrow
stone style that gave upon the fields;
we had traversed half the length of the
meadows themselves before he spoke.

siderable of a man when he reaches his
teens-all of which is in keeping with
the velocity of the age.
There never was a time when boys

improvements made in the last two
years have raised the manufacture Of
small clothes to the dignity of profess
ional tailoring or dressmaking. Here
tofore nice cloths were not handled
for the reason that 1t seemed a waste
of raw material. The regular stock was
limited to a small lot OF coarse fabrics,
usually domestic, that wore foxy"

garments. Then, too, the designs were
monotonous, and all the boys were
dressed alike.
Now that is all changed.

spiration. Ladies' tailor-made dresses
are the most fruitful sources of ideas.
The cloths are fine, the colors are gem
teel and the models are graceful and
adaptable. Children require roundness
or fulness of drapery: between the ages
of nine and nineteen the average youth
is awkward and rather elongated.
To utilize mems styles would be to
call attention to shapes that taste and
charity would conceal. Shipboard is

the sea captivates the small boy. There
seems to be an instructive love for blue
flannel, and the cheyron on sleeve,
worked with a few bright stitches, or
a touch of gold, will sell a suit every

trimmings and lace ruflles, but more

Barton, VT, July 10, 1920. His early life
was spent in gaining common school edu-
cation, and in 1888 Mr. Sortwell went to
Boston to seek his fortune. From that time
until his death he met success on every
hand. He entered the produce business in
Faneuil Hall Market, and conducted a
hourishing business He became a stock
holder in the Connecticut and Passuinpsic
River railroad and, through his connection
with the road, became a bondholder in the
Montpelier and Wells River railroad at its
inception. He was elected president Of the
road, January 1, 1877, and held that office
at his death. Mr. Sortwell was the pro-
moter of the Barre branch and Barre rail
roads, the latter being the famous Sky
Route " to the Barre granite quarries. This
road was commenced in July, 1888, and FIVE
miles were completed in 1889 Mr. Sortwell
took much interest in the construction OF
this wonderful railway, and left no stone
unturned to build the branch from here to
Barre, even buying much valuable real es-
tate that he might obtain the right OF way.
He will be greatly missed in railroad
circles, and the citizens Of Montpelier and
Barre Will long remember that to him is
due the excellent service and low fare be-
tween the two towns which has come by
competition with rival road. MIR. Sort

politics, Mr.. Sortwell was a democrat, and
