There is pretty romance connected with
the millionaire dry goods merchant and a
pretty Maine girl who first saw the light on
Cranberry Isle, near Mt. Desert. Some
years ago there dwelt on Cranberry Island a
family named Hibbard, consisting of a
mother and two very beautiful daughters
The barren isle offering little inducements
for an ambitious girl she went to Boston
where she entered the big establishment of
t. H. White & Co. as a Salesgirl and by her
tact and ability soon rose to high position.
That young lady is now Mrs. r. H. White
She accompanies her husband on his Maine
cruises and never fails to visit the island
which she left in coasting schooner to re-
turn in palatial yacht.-Rockland tar.
