u wonder how / would feel if had
few days vacation remarked &. w.
Hayward the other day when the question
Of holidays and the best place to enjoy
brief freedom from business cares were
under discussion. The various items in the
HERALD concerning people who had not
favored themselves with a vacation for
years prompted the query of Mr.. Hay
ward, who added that be had not been
of duty but once-and that for only two
days-for ten years. Perhaps he believes
in the policy Of cumulative holidays and
proposes to take a twenty weeks vaca-
tion each decade instead of two weeks
respite each year.
Mrs. l. d. Williams has in her posses
sion piece of old-time fancy work more
ambitious in scope and design than the
most extravagantly embroidered sofa pill
low, on which a head couldn't rest II
allowed to try. The relic is chatelaine
bag decorated with landscape-a house
and trees and a woman crossing a lawn
with a basket Of flowers on her head-the
scene being depicted by means OF small
/ cOlored beads sewed onto canvass. The
bag is finished with a row Of forgotten
, nots and Is an achievement that testlhes
eloquently to the skill and industry OF the
, old fashioned girl. A similar bag, made
by Mrs. Williams mother, the late Mrs,
3 Ora tRiford) Holman, has been handed
down as an heirloom to Mrs. Holman
granddaughter, Miss Mabel, who IS the
daughter Of Frank n. Holman Of SPRING

, We hear a good deal about the celebrated
o Empire State Express" and its fast time
for long and short distances, and also OF
2 other record-smashing runs on western
reads. But equally fast railroad time
nearer home is not unknown. FOR eN-
ample: the southbOund express, drawn BY
! engine No. 103, and due here at $50 IN the
afternoon. had a little exhibition OF
Saturday between RoNbury and this sta
+, tion, which. by the way, is no unusual az
j f,fr The 9fatau0p i "a uOOd Il miles. Hnc
the time made by the express was exactly
D Is minutes. The greatest squirt was iron
2 Braintree down, where there are teWel
sharp curves to contend with. Engineer
Parker pulled the throttle open and let I'M
iron horse cover the six miles IN nv
minutes. The average time for the i
miles Is, therefore, but a fraction over
7 mile minute,and is plenty fast enough 10
ordinary mortals.
