Somerset Pomona.

Somerset Pomona Grange met with
Sandy River Grange at Mercer on March
IL. The opening exercises of the morning
consisted of the usual formal work of
the fifth degree. All the subordinate
oranges in Somerset county were report
ed as being in a prosperous condition.
The address of welcome was given by
Mrs Mildred Tyler of Mercer and re-
sponded to by Mrs. Morton of Norridse-
wock.
After two hours of grange work the
members of the order were conducted to
the banquet hall, where tables groaning
beneath the burden of good cheer had
been provided.

ternoon session was commenced. The
grange opened in the fourth degree and
after a grange song by the members of
the order. the question as to whether the
present high prices of apples does not

very ably discussed by Messrs. BroWh.
Ham and Varney of Mercer, George OF
New Sharon, ChOate of Fairfield and
Toby of Norridgewock. The discussion
was not so animated as on other queS-
lions, owing to the fact that the ideas of
all the speakers seemed to favor the bet
ter care of apple trees. A duet by George
Wood and Eva Hatch, entitled BOyhood' s
Days, was well rendered and thoroughly
appreciated by the members.
Following came the question, fought
the Arid Lands of the West to be Irrigat-
ed at the Expense of the Government?

WARDROBE SECRETS.
Now We Know Whom Women Dress
to Please.

New Orleans Times-Democrat)
Have you ever asked a woman who
she dresses to please? She will invari-
ably answer herself, but the statement
is mendacious in every instance save
in those Of the dress reformer-and
that means the woman without hope.
In the palmy days of Greece three
philosophers sat against the sunny side
of the temple discussing the infinite
and the branches thereof
"a woman" said one, dresses to
please the men,"
"a woman" said the other, assertive-
ly, dresses to worry the other woman"
The discussion waxed acrimonious,
until both appealed to the third. who
belonged to the school of the trimmers.
"A woman" said he, dresses to
please the men. and thereby worry the
other women"
