The other exercises of the evening con-
sisted of two local selections, a poem by
Mrs. W. P. Frye of Lewiston and Miss
Munger paper, on English, as it is spoke
and writ. I"
Miss Munger's plea was for q more care
full study of our English tongue, among
our club women, and for a more thorough
study of our standard English writers
in regard to style of composition. She
advocated the writing of daily themes
among the women, and the comparison of
these at weekly club meetings, in order
to bring about more effective knowledge
of our language, even if the women did
not expect to become grea6 writer's.
Miss Munger spoke of the differences
between culture and information, and in
timated that it would be better for club
women in general if they did not try to
inform themselves on SO many subjects
Both the speakers spoke for themselves
in their own way, and both gave many
helpful suggestions to their listeners.

The above liberal offer is made to adver-
tise the old relia BILE Diamond Dyes and to
get their book upon home dyeing into the
hands of women who want to dress well by
making their old clothing look like new.
Diamond Dyes have special dyes for cotton
different from those that are used for wool
and are the only package dyes on the MAJ
lket that can be relied upon to give colors
Diamond Dyes have been the standard home
dyes for nearly twenty years and that their
sale increases from year to year is proof
positive that they have never had an equal.

Portland High had--a great practice
game last Thursday afternoon. Their Q
was the largest squad out with suits on,
that there has been for several seasons.
The men played hard and earnestly. The
backs of the first eleven played on the sec.
ond and the practice was long and hard.
Foot ball interest in the High school has
never been greater. There is every reason
to suppose that Portland will have
cracker jack team this season.
The boys will line up against the South
Portlands this afternoon at three O'Clock
on the acknowledgements. A twenty and
fifteen minute half will be played.
Every true lover Of the game should be
there.
