FLATTERING OUTLOOK
For the National Guard Of Maine and Increased
Interest Among the Men.

| There has been some talk in a few OF
the newspapers indicating that there is
an unfavorable condition of affairs in the
National Guard of Maine, resulting
mainly from inaction and lack of inter
est. In connection with these reports Col.
George A. Philbrook of the I'd Regiment
was seen by Journal man, yesterday,
when the subject was brought to his at
tention.
In reply to the question, Col Philbrook
said: You may say to your readers that the
condition of affairs in the National Guard
of this State was never in better shape The
semi-monthly returns are very gratifying
So far as the Cd Regiment is con-
cerned, am free to say there is much en-
thusiasm among the men. The reports
of attendance at drills the past winter
show marked increase in attendance and
in the work. So far as rifle practice is
concerned, most of the men have taken that
up this season nearly month earlier than
that as Gen. Conner has been kept
from his official duties by reason of very
painful and dangerous illness, it all the
more devolves upon them to assist in
keeping up the efficiency of the guard.
Furthermore, you can truthfully say
that better class of young men have
never heretofore, as rule, been taken
into the National Guard Many of them
are sons of veterans and high school
graduates, intelligent and enthusiastic
While have been talking more especially
of the conditions existing in the I'd
Regiment, 1 know, from conversation
with Col. Kendall, that the like exists in
the 1st Regiment.
Indications point to the largest and
best encampment of Maine troops in the
history of the State
During the enforced absence of Gen.
Conner, Gov. Clcaves, in addition to his
multifarious duties, has given the mat
tiers pertaining to the National Guard of
this State good deal of attention.

management Of public affairs
Well may you be regarded as one of thu
most popular Governors the State 81
Maine has ever had and the nearest to the

Governor Cieayes responded in a man.

by the manifestation of the high and very
kindly regard in which he is held by
those who have associated with him in
the responsible duties of the Executive
branch of the govel nment as we'll as by
those of the Legislative branch, very many
OF whom were present on this occasion.
Governor Cleayes, in substance said:
For this manifestation of your regard
anu friendship, you have my sincerest
tnanks. assure you that l appreciate
this all the more because it. comes from
my associates in this branch of the gov
eminent. Words like these which your
honored chairman has SO kindly spoken,
serve to Tighten the burdens of official
life. | wish to assure him that you will
ever have my heariest cooperation in ad-
mi Set 1Ssr
State in the best interests of the
people and the best interests of
this grand old State, which needs no en-
cOmiums from me.
Again l thank you for this present
You have made this occasion certainly
one of the pleasantest of my life. l am
gratified to see so many members of the
Senate and House present. 1t affords me
the greatest satisfaction to feel that the
most harmonious relations exist between
all the branches of the State government
Each and all have striyen to promote the
welfare of the grand old State of Maine,
and we can go to our homes knowing that
if we are true and loyal to this great
State we shall always be true and loyal to
ourselves (Applause.)
A Merited Tribute.

ceived the following grateful tribute from
the teachers and pupils of the Gorham
Normal school in recognition of his very
earnest work in behalf of that institution
during the session of the Legislature just

Gorham, March 21, 1895.

An impossible House.

The nan and his wife called on the
architect, and the architect was glad to
SEQ them, for business was extremely dull

said the man by way of introduction.
.Thanks," bowed the architect. Il
shall be only too glad to do so, and am
quite sufe that can give entire satisfac-
tion."
"Well, you ought to-" remarked the
lady. "We don't t want much"
"What kind of house did you wish!"
inquired the architect.
''We want good, plain one Of about
eight rooms" explained the man, land
we will leave the design to you. All we
expect is that when you have finished it
1t will suit my wife and myself mean
on the inside. We are not so particular
about the outside"
The architect heaved deep sigh.

well to profit by these directions. The
three piece skirt is quito as pretty as the
five piece and is much easier for the ANA
teur to handle. The first move Is to take
tho material and spread it out and draft
out the length, always allowing an extra
inch for stake up" Then measure across
the top, SO that tho doubled fold will reach
two-tbirds around tho waist. Hollow 1T
out three quarters of an inch in front and
mark in four darts, each 5inches deep and
IL inches across. These should cause the
front to fit smoothly over the hips. If
they are not deep enough or too deep, adj
lust them. The sides slant inches, so
that the bottom of the front breadth is 10
inches wider than the top.
The two back breadths measure II
Yards each, and the front one three-quar-
tcrs of a yard. or a yard at the bottom If
preferred. The back pieces are cut on the
full width Of 81 inch goods, and the side
Joining the front is cut straight on the sell
wage of the goods and should be drafted
50 that the straight thread goes from one
to the other Of the two AA's. The top OF
the skirt Ia curved ~ inches, and they
each measure 1S inches across the top
The back seam comes bias. The three
seams are stitched up, pressed flat, and
then the facing which has been cut to ex-
actly fit the outside, is put on.
First comes deep facing, or full lining
of silesea with an interlining of horsehair
or wigan A bias band of indestructible
vclutina is then stitched upon both I'm
ings so that when sewcd to the dress to
turn the velutina is outside. The facing IS
then basted in place, or the lining II IL Is
lined, and herringboned to the outside In
invisible stitches. After this it is pressed
into perfection. The darts may be left out
of the front at the top and small gathers
run in to fit it over the hips. Tho back
fullness may be gathered and left to fall
in natural folds, or it may be laid in the
small box piaits which spread out widely
toward the bottom, or it may be laid I'M
der in small, fat plaits, two on each side.
Tho model shows a skirt of tho same
length all around, but by allowing greater
length around the back of the two back
breadths 1t can be made demitrain. The
back breadths which are to fall in round,
fiat or burnoose plaits, should be lined
with wigan, or, better still, haircloth, and
when the plaits are taken in at the TOP
they are fastened into their rounded shape
by tapes. Tho three piece skirt is better
adapted for street wear than the five piece,
and when for that purpose the three
breadths must be the exact measure all
around. 1t is quite impossible for any one
to make one of these skirts and have it ex-
actly right, and the slightest imperfection
shows glaringly, without a dress frame to
try it on, or some one to help the maker,
who is TO wear Ii. The bias parts are also
apt to sag. Some dressmakers put straight
lining about 10 inches wide down the
sides and catstltch it down. Lining when
cut with the dress will sag with it,
1t is permissible to have very little
narrow trimming on these skirts, but al

most all are severely plain. The richness
Of the heavy folds of the skirt would lose
something of its effect if cheapened by
trimming. Enough of that is bestowed
upon the corsages
The amateur will be discouraged more
than once before she gets these apparently
simple folds into their proper shape but
with the diagrams as guide she will sue
coed il she porseveres. Those of equal
length hang in a manner that has made
them so famous. All depends upon the
finish of the seams and the laying in OF
those two or three innocent little plaits.
