Love Parties Notified.

Ever since our youthful counting
days it has been customary 10 take the
young lady who happens at the time 70
he nearest ones heart for a stroll
These strolls have nearly always led to
the little red schoolhouse on the hill
or the granite steps of the academy or
high school building. 1t may be that
our fondest recollections always cluster
around these places where we early
learned to love our country and our
fellowmen-and women. 1t is not
strange, then, that our later day fond
ness for other things lead us to hover
around those arks of safety, the foun-
dation of liberty. our countrys mstitu~
tons of learning when We want to bll
and coo, and whisper sweet nothinss
into ever-ready ears. We like to steal
away, far from the maddening crowd
you know, and in the shade cast by the
great elm or maple, or perhaps an ad-
jacent building, that shuts out the I'M
welcome glare ofthe electriclight on the
corner, build air castles and plan mar
riagcs. and perhaps Opponents. But
the Waterviile board of education Is
feelingless body, and they propose TO
put a stop to the timehonored practice.
The board have, with malice afore-
thought, it must be said, voted to post
notices, warning all parties of all
classes net to gather around the school
buildings after the shades of evening
fall. The gentlemen of the board
claim that the practice is getting to be
obsolete, though for the life of us we
do not know what that means in this
connection. Anyway, anybody that
does any more sparkling in or around
the school buildings of this city will be
arrested on sight. chased up if they are
out of sight, and prosecuted according
to the law in such cases made and pro-
Vided.

How 10 Pack a Trunk.

The woman who contemplates a visi
to the seashore or other distant summer
resort looks forward with no particular
degree of pleasure TO the hour whcr
trunk packing shall have become a neces.
sity. Surprisingly few women know how
to pack a trunk, and yet the matter is
simple enough when certain common
sense rules are followed. Perhaps tht
first thing to be impressed on the trav-
eler is that more rumpled and impossible
gowns are due to careless packing and
loose adjusting than any other one thing
No amount of tight packing or of pres
sure applied downward will do more than
accentuate the natural folds. a single
toss of the trunk that is loosely packed
means hopeless tumble of hats, wraps
bodiceS, lace and what-not.
Begin at the foundation with the heay-
lest garments. Do not fold too much;
shake skirts from the waistband and
spread them for the entire length without
folding that the size of the trunk will
allow. If not. spread out with great care
in the folds which are naturally taken
when held in an upright position and turn
over smoothly at the top. Shake wraps
from the shoulders, lay them out in the
folds which they naturally take. with
great care smooth the sleeves and turn
the fronts over on the back smoothing
and adjusting all trimmings and frills SO
as TO avoid horizontal creases. 1t Is i'm
possible so to fold garment as to avoid
all lines. but those taken lengthwise of
the cloth readily disappear and are also
little noticed. as they take the direction
OF the folds formed by the garment it.
self
Jackets, however must be so managed
as 10 show not crease. Loose bodices
require tissue paper for the support of
puts and the like, but they can be saved
from much rumpling if spread out in the
trunk and folded as little as possible.

The Band Concert.

The first band concert ct the season by
the Waterville Military Band was given
on the park. last evening, to large and
appreciative audience. The following was
the programme:
March, 'Gardes du Carps,' r. b. Hall
Overture. Tampa 1eroid
Waltz, Land of My Dreams
Trombone solo, "RomauZa," Bennett
Mr. e. A. Dearborn.
Concert Gavotte, (a). Loving Hearts,
Tobani
Characteristic, (b), Little Kinkies,
Tobias
March, king Cotton Sousa
The concert was very much enjoyed by
those who were fortunate enough to be
out at the park but it was generally con-
ceded that the band was in the wrong
place for the music to be heard by those
who from necessity were obliged to re-
main at home. We are speaking now of
those who live in the vicinity of the park,
and who. if the band was placed in a diff
ferent position, might easily have heard
and enjoyed the music. Last evening. as
on previous occasions, the band stand
was set about half way from Park street
to the Institute building, and just q. little
retired from the Elm street walk. In
this location the music has to combat
with the high walls of the Institute build
ing and the Baptist church. which act as
dead walls and prevent the notes from
going out to the people who have to re-
main at home and who are entitled TO
something of a consideration.
1t was suggested that by retiring the
band stand to a point between the sec
ond and third walks on the Park street
side just west of am imaginary line
north and south in the rear of the Insti-
tute and church, the band may be heard
at a greater distance and much more
distinctly by a greater number of people.
lt is understood that the committee on
parks. which has the placing of the band
stand i'm charge, Will be asked to make
this change before the next concert.

Ore of the bright spots during these
hard times is prosperous little Shawmut.
There is probably go more active town
these days on the river. The TWO large
saw mills of Lawrence Newhall X Co,
are situated there and keep business
rushing all the time. Two band saws are
in constant operation besides n gang
which saws boards only. The average
OUTPUT is nearly 160,0oo feet of long lum-
Der daily besides a large amount of
shir giles, laths and other short stuff. The
amount of freight shipped from this sta
ton is surprising. a special freight was
put on this summer in order that the
large output of these mills might be
handled without the delays that the reg
ular trains had always met with former
ly. A large steamer Is kept constantly
at work by the company towing logs
from its boom down to the mills. Scarce
ly Il pound of the lumber, in whatever
FORM is wasted. The Somerset Fibre
Company has a standing contract for all
the waste and all the wood made by the
mills. The company has an cnviable re-
cord for finely fitted lumber and its
product always commands the highest
prices in the markets of the world. The
whole town, and it is a fair sized one,
depends on the mills for its support and
its prosperous condition speaks well for
the company.
