Dress designing is becoming quite
an intellectual pursuit. l heard the
other day that one of the great Paris
San dress designers has been travelling
in the east to get fresh inspiration;
while it is well known that the picture
galleries of Paris are haunted by the
matchmaking fraternity, and old books
with prints and plates OF the eigh-
um in the old bookshops and the book
stalls Of Paris.-London Gentlewoman.

A very pretty bed cover may be
made out of heavy butchers linen, in
white, of course, and neatly hem
stitched into a two-inch hem, then en-
broidered in daisies at Intervals. If
time is an object or one is not expert
in embroidering a rich effect may be
had by using a sewing machine and
outlining some pretty designs with
one Of the heavy white braids.

troubles arising between the cutters and
manufacturers in Montpelier shall be
settled in Barre. A committee from the
manufacturers conferred with similar

Brads.rsep. Week., Trade Report.

Reports to Bradstreets from various
quarters OF Vermont indicate that the
conditions which were regarded so seri-
Gus several weeks ago have greatly inn
proved owing to the rainy weather. The
hay crop which it was feared would
prove almost total loss has been greatly
benefited by the rain and succeeding
warm weather, and while it will be two
or three weeks late it is thought proba-
bic that from two.thirds to almost full
crop will be harvested, with quality very
fair. Agricultural interests are also look
ing brighter and with this general inn
provement has come better tone in
business circles and collections are easier
than several weeks ago. Banks in most
parts OF the state appear to be well sup
Piled with money and labor with few
exceptions is we'll employed. Lumber is
reported to be falling off in demand from
month ago but the price is firm consid-
ering the conditions and season OF the
year.

village meeting at the town hall
this afternoon, at two O'Clock, to see
ii the trustees will be instructed to pur.
chase the lot adjoining the railroad
track ON North Railroad street, popu.
larry known as "the Gulch." The lot is
owned by DR.. J. L. Perkins who has
offered to sell it for $4,000. Residents of
that section have shown their interest in
the scheme by raising $1,000 towards the
price, several citizens pledging $500
apiece. Supt. Folsom has notified those
interested in the plan that the strip Of
land immediately adjoining the track
can be utilized for the proposed park. as
well as that portion at the extreme
north which is owned by the railroad,
now leased by the owners of the machine
and paint shops.
Our village is noted far aud wide for
Its park system, and the conversion of
an unsdightly plot of ground into an

A Question of Riohts,

When Julia Fairchild came home
from college at twenty-one the world
looked bright before her. She was
young, strong and keen-witted she had
n fair share of beauty, and was the
retted daughter in a wealthy and
luxurious home. AS the years passed,
however, she began to realize that she
was missing something something
that other girls with not half her ad-
Vantages seemed to win with scarcely
an effort. She was in the best society
at home; she had Travelled much, and
was acquainted with charming and
cultured people in many countries; yet
somehow she never touched more than
the outside of it all. Two or three
friends she had, but scarcely more;
girls never ran in to see her as they
We're continually doing with other girls
whom she knew; as for young men
the briefest duty calls We're all they
ever paid her.
81 don't see why it is" she said, in
moment of rare revelation to a
friend. Then instantly she changed
the subject, her pride angered that
she had betrayed her pain. by the
way" she went on, Il met Judge
Haven yesterday. l had wanted for a
long time an opportunity to tell him
what l thought of that matter. I
know that he is an old man, but l have
my rights, and / let him see that | in
tended to assert them. He didn't an
swer a single word-he couldn't
She spoke with keen satisfaction;
she had no conception of the cheapness
of her triumph. The judge was an old
man and she a young girl, and the
matter one of the slightest Importance.
But she had asserted her rights" 1t
was her perpetual attitude toward life.
1t was not strange,that few people
discovered that behind her continual
responsiveness dwelt a warm heart
and answering loyalty.
The secret Of the charm that wins
love never can be wholly Defined but
one element is always discoverable-
the tact and sympathy that make
those about one happy. Madame Re
| camier, old, impoverished, blind, was
yet sovereign over hearts. A remark
| in her memoirs is significant. When
darkness had fallen upon her, her
great pleasure was to have some one
read aloud; yet invariably she chose
| for the reading not what she cared for
| most, but what would give most
pleasure to the reader or the other lis
| teners. She would rather miss some
| thing herself than to have others miss
| something upon her account.
'"The best thing about having rights
of our own" says George Macdonald
| lis that, being our rights, we can give
them up 1t is a sentence that chal-
| lenges the test of life.
