The dresses worn by the ladies in
Pauline Hairs new comedy "Dorcasn

coloring and. blending, and are direct
importations from the firms of Worth
and Felix of Paris, France. Those

nearly $3 800, and have the endorsement
of those two celebrated French designers

coloring ever exported by them for
stage use.
The team the Skowhegan High school
will put on the diamond this season will

Blunt, f right field yet to be filled.
The boys have good team and will
make a great deal better showing this
year than last. With Murphys arm in
good condition and the rest of the nine
playing in good form there is no reason
why they should not be up among the
leaders at the finish. Next Thursday,

of those good times sure to follow a
gathering of the odd Fellows, especially
when the Canton boys are the hosts.
