The idea of a musical festival in
Barre which has materialized on one
such occasion, and which is to be re.
peated with greater artistic success
this week, grew out OF the conviction
that no city or town in the state had
SO much talent necessary to make
such movement success as Barre.
And the work has been carried on in
firm confidence that Barrels musical
festival would come to be the greatest
musical event in this part OF Vermont,
if not in the entire state. Those who
have had this movement for the glory
Of Barre on their hearts have felt
very much gratiied to see that the
people Of the city are coming to be of
the same mind regarding the value OF
such an annual event, and Of the pos.
sibilities in this direction. They ap.
preciate fully the interest that has
been shown in the endeavor to promote
the social life of the city In connec-
tion with the musical culture Of the
community.
In order, however, to lave Barre S
influence extended to the surrounding
country, it is necessary to offer some
attraction to musica! people in these
towns in addition to the musical priv.
lie ges of membership in the chorus.
Many Of them would be unable tC
come and recs i've the benefits which
Barre can give if they had to pay theil
board during the festival week.
Hence 1t has seemed best to the aSso.
citation to endeavor to make it possible
tor them to come without such ex.
pense. And they have ventured to
ask those who are willing to do so tC
entertain members Of the chorus who
come from outside towns. The com.
mittee do not forget that this is the
tryi-g time of the year for housekeep
ers, for many of this committee are
themselves having the experiences o.
house cleaning But they only ask
that lodging and meals, so far as pos

The little friends of James Rathbun,
pursuant to invitation, gathered at the
home of his parents, in this city, Satur-
day, to celebrate his eighth birthday
anniversary. The following verse from
of Johnson's poems aptly describes
the scene:
"Once in a while like the sun that
strains
Through the breaking clouds on a day
Of showers,
The light of happiness gaily CLEANS
On this wistful, wearisome world OF
ours,
And the sands of the hour-glass turn TO
gold,
And the melodies faint and far unfold,
And they lightly clink and our thoughts
beguile
With mythical music-once in a
while"
The elittle people report a most enjoy
able time; the afternoon was given up
to games and other amusemeIt5s
refreshments were served and done nus
tice by as only a party of happy hunsry
children can. 1t is fitting such gather
ings should occur, and occur frequently,
that the little participants may have I'll
the pleasure and enjoyment possible out
of the morning of their lives, for the
time comes all too Don when they will
be the men and women of their genera
ton; will have to lay aside the joys and
| pleasures of childhood-buckle on the
armor and face the stern realities of
life. Then in after years, when q lull
in the struggle comes, the memory
reverts to just such o~ccasions-a bright
golden page in life's dreary, monotonous
history; a green, fresh, pleasant spot; a
sort of oasis in the desert of life. Who
of us has not such memories-and
would life be worth living were they
obliterated? Let the little folks have
many parties and enjoy their childhood
TO the fullest extent possible, and their
enjoyment and happiness will brighten
the lives of their elders.
