Probably no Maine library has Il
more interesting history than that in
corporatCd at Waterford last week.
Tho Eridgton News thus ahridgcs i'll:
Forty mine years ago a few ladies OF
Waterford formed themselves into 4
society for the purpose of founding "a
library. The movement is said to have
grown out Of still older Martha
Washingtnuian Society. In those days
money was not plenty, and thes. ladies
raised funds hY working with their
needles at their meetings. while one Of
their number read to the rest. For
two years they laborcd before They ac-
cumulatcd enough To buy books and
start library. They then paid small
dues themselves. and received money
from others for the use of their books.
For almost half a century the library
has been "A large factor in the intellect
ual life of the people. Last week seven
Of the original members We're formed
into a legal corporation. and there is a
prospect that a neat ana convenient
library building can be procured. The
volumes now number about 1150.''
Here is a good example for some other
community that wants a library. but
hardly sees how to get it.

TWO NEW FADS.
Monograms On Gloves and Writing
In White Ink.

The two latest fancies of our fair
English cousins. writes a smart Ameri-
can woman in London. is the embroid-
ering of monograms on gloves and
writing in white ink. Gloves made
to order with monograms are devoid
of stitching on the back. and the mon
ogram is embroidered in the center.
Those which are purchased from stock
and then embroidered have the mono
gram set between the thumb seam
and first row of stitching. and 9TH
ers have it placed on the wrist be-
low the stitching. 1t is almost too
soon to tell whether this new fancy is
to be popular. 1t is certainly very
striking, and is open to the serious
objection that it has a tendency to
make the hand look larger than the
ordinary glove. A glove of suede in
the new bluet shade. with a white
monogram in the middle of the back.
is really to the conservative taste more
striking than pretty.
The use of a delicate white ink TO
correspond with white crest or mono
gram is an exceedingly refined innova-
ton. 1t may be used with very deli
cate tints, but is, of course. most tell
ing on paper of some deep shade. Deep
Russian blue or sultan red shows to
great advantage under white ink. The
very prettiest, however. are the wedge
wood effects in a variety of shades Of
blue, the bluegray being the most eff
fective. The mOnograms and crestS
used with wedgewood blue papers are

PLOVER EGGS The
LATEST TABLE LUXURY.

floVers' eggs are now attracting the
attention and tickling the palate of the
| fashionable world. To the eye they
are very pleasing. because the manner
in which they are served is so artistic,
and the eggs themselves are a SYM
phony in exquisite colors. The rich fla
vor is equally gratifying to the most
critical taste, and one portion, or two,
! of them quite satisfies the appetite. At
any one of the large hotels, or in any
home where plovers' eggs have been
added to the menu, they are served in
the following manner:
Apparently, a delicate branch of a
tree is first laid upon the plate. 1t is
beautiful green and the leaves and
twigs are quite perfect. Upon examin-
alton il is found to be made of green
cloth and is covered by some trans
parent CONNECTION. In the fork of the
tiny branches there reposes a cream
white nest. 1t is made of potatoes. They
have been made into long, slender
pieces by passing them through a cul
ender and then arranged with innum-
cradle crossing and recrossings into an
imitation of a plovers nest. OF course,
the potatoes must first be boiled and
moulded to just the proper consistency
or such manipulat ton of them would
be impossible. Inside of the nest are
lWO tSSS- IHeN are perhaps a Irll1e
smaller than those of a bantam and
are distinctive in tapering to a point at
one end. The foundation color of the
shell is ecru, and it is exquistely mot
tied with deep crimson brown. When
broken open a lining of clear, robins
egg blue is seen.
To boil these eggs to the right de-
gree of hardness is declared to be one
of the triumphs of modern cookery. for
oh
greater uncertainty than the boiling of
an egg. The proper result should be
that the white part appears perfectly
transparent, while the yolk is flaky,
with just tiny soft spot in the center
The sauce that is served with this
delicacy is made of fine herbs and
sweet butter. Its color. which is nile
green, lends an additional charm to the
asthetic effect of the whole The cost
of enjoying this dish at any one of the
large hotels is S1.25.
1t is, however, quite feasible to pre-
pare it at home. where it would GER
tainly be a startling feature at for
NAL luncheon or dinner. The only real
requisite is the plovers' eggs: the SER
vice of them may readily be adapted
to suit the capabilities of the house
hold Happily there are a few Dlover
farms in America and we will undoubt-
edly have more of them as the demand
increase for their eggs. The birds
have been bred for a long time to sup
ply the game market. The plover is
we'll known as a shore bird, and is re-
garded as a good test of a sportsman's
skill. In England. the lapwing. or
bastard plover, is bred to produce the
eggs. which are there so highly es-
teemed as a delicacy, and which are
also important as a matter of COM
merce.

Wells are undoubtedly a nuisance
when on the golf field wheeling or
yachting, where clear. unobstructed
vision is necessary. In fact. as long as
they interfered with the sight they
were impossible. This year. however,
there is a new way of wearing them
which makes them a trifie more bear
able and leaves the eyes uncovered.
The lower selvage of the veil is first
arranged loosely about the shoulders
and pinned securely at the back of the
neck The veil is then taken up owe,
the face and the upper selvage drawn
tightly across the bridge of the nose
and under the eyes to the back of ths
head. By this arrangement the fore
head and eyes are all of the face thai
is left exposed to the sun; and the
brim of the hat should be such as Il
sufficiently protect them. Brown tbs
sue, or chiffon wells appear to be tbs
ones most often chosen for this pur-
pose; the black ones are really toe
gruesome and hideous. Sometimes d
white veil is used to cover the face,
and a brown one is loosely dropped
over from the brim of the hat to dc
away with the unpleasant glare of the
suns rays upon the white veil 1t is
said on good authority that the old
fashioned green wells will also be worn
in this way during the summer.
One unaccustomed to seeing wells
worn in this new fashion is apt to be
rather astonished at first by the Egypt
ian-like. curious effect il gives to the
whole figure. The scheme for protect
ing the face. however. is really a good
one. When the veil is not too thick
and especially when it is worn by 2
woman with fine eyes, it is Hlso no.

Summer Watch Chains.

Since the summer set in watch chains
have given way in a great measure 10

end and a silver buttonhole catch at the
other. Put through the buttonhole of the

into the upper coat pocket on the left
hand. and though this scheme for watch
carrying was first introduced for adoption
when no waistcoat is worn. it is now a
habit with men In linens and hannelS,
whether the waiStcoat is left off or not.
The standard has at last been reached
in straw hats. and crowns three inches
high with brims measuring Two inches
and fourth in width. prevail in the
circles of the well dressed. Men of staid
and settled mien seem TO have adopted as
their own hats that have brims slightly
curled up at front and back. while in
place of the gilt owners initials pasted
in the crown band, the leading hatterS
sell straws with the purchasers full name
or monogram perforated in the inside
leather strap. This is supposed to be a
tidier and more lasting insurance of the
proprietOrS rights than the long useful
gilt or silver letters.
The man most sensitive concerning his
personal appearance casts pride to the
winds when golf claims his attention. The
rule for dress on the links during hot days
seems TO be as slight clothing ciViliZa-
ton allows. and in place of the time and
tradition honored collar. the average man
wears a white or gray plaid handkerchief
knotted about his neck. Shirt sleeves are
worn well rolled up on the forearm After
trying every species of headgear. the
golfer has CHANGED upon a quaint device
that gives maximum of comfort with
minimum of beauty, but beauty is an in
significant detail to the earnest golfer.
These hats are called and consist of a
crown band firmly encircling the head.
From the band springs four curved straw
supports that hold high above the head
long canoe-shaped shelter of fine straw
or some lightly woven vegetable fiber that
juts well out over the eyes and back of
the neck. There is shade of the most per-
fectly adjusted nature, a current of air
passing back and forth over the head, and
no weight that can be realized about this
unique head arrangement. which was
first discovered and utilized by golf-loving
Englishmen in the tropics. and that has
been passed generously along to the
grateful American. Coming from the fac
tory these hats are ready TO wear, all
saving a lining of green taffeta for the
curious crown. The men who have sweet
hearts. sisters or wives can have their
hats lined most easily and beautifully at
home while those who can command no
willing needles pay a trifie more for their
golf shelters "a the hatter's and have
them professionally faced with temper

the hat usefulness.

in your hair by aid of jewel-headed
hatpin. In the evening also, every
woman who keeps abreast with the
mode, pins her little fan to her belt to
the right side. First she makes a
small perfectly fiat satin ribbon rosette
with bright imitation gem in its CEN
ter, and from this beneath hangs a
four-inch long strap of ribbon, on the
end of which is fastened a gold safety
slip ring. The ring, of course, secures
the fan when the wearer does not need
it. and it is perfectly easily detached
from the ring when she does.
1.-The Juliet"
For the undoing of the woman who
spent nearly all her years income two
months ago for proper spring plumage,
the milliners are bringing out their
midsummer crop of hats. They have
unique and lovely thing christened
Juliet, in honor of Miss Maud Adams.
though it has little outward and Wis
ible significance with the tempestuous
young wife of Romeo. From a crown
and wide brim of that sweet new fabric
known as open legnon, which looks
like fine straw lace, runs a garnish-
ment of tinted grain. from which at
some point springs a cluster of broad
and narrow muslin wings so painted as
to simulate those of butterflies The
leghorn brim is twisted and bent to
harmonic with the lines of any face
and then from the rear full tulle strings
come down to cross under the chin,
pass again to the back of the neck and
there tie in a vast and picturesque
bow.
The Juliet has penetrated many
wardrobes by sheer force of airy beau
ty, and its influence has been to rele-
gate many hat and bonnet strings to
the rear of the head, where the loops

sketched with this pearl embroidered
gown. 1t is a circular of white satin,
its edges shaped in large shallow seal
lops edged with dark brown marabout
and a deep frill of lace. A hood that
falls from the neck of the cloak is made
all of lace and brown marabout. Such
are some of the splendors of our mer-
chant princesses.
Well open, in a simple curve, is the
proper shaping. back and front, for an
evening dress body, and in the building
of bodices nothing is more justly popu-
lar with the slim women than the front
that is drawn in full horizontal wrin-
kles across the bust. OF course, very
soft satin and pliable muslins only are
adapted to this style. and the finish
for the fulness is three rosettes of
graduated size, or three smart clusters
of blossoms, fastened one at the waist,
one at the bust and one on the left
shoulder. Evidently every effort is
being made to replace by some equally
serviceable device, the pouched bodice
front that women almost refuse to re-
linquish.
