There is a suggestion for all girls and
boys who live where snow falls in THE
Birds Breakfast table, in the February
St. Nicholas, telling how many Hudson
River valley birds are ted winter after
winter at Cherrycroft. Cherrycroft is
the home OF Amelia E. Barr, the writer,
aud stands on the banks OF the Hudson
near Cornwall. The hospitality Of
Cherrycroft is so widely know n among
its bird neighbors near and tar that every
fall Mrs. Barr lays in grain, corn, and
hickory-nuts by the bustel to provide for
her feathered guests. Among the inter-
esting incidents of this pretty hospitality
Isabel Gordon Curtis recounts the appre-
citation of Cherrycroft' S generosity shown
during the blizzard of 1888.

Vermont Association.



Many pleasant remind ences of bygone
days spent in old Ver1lnt were recounted
Saturday night, Jan. %, at the annual
reception of the Brooklyn Society of Yer
monters. Through the courtesy of Elijah
r. Kennedy, his residence at 33 Prospect
Park West, was taken possession OF by
the hundred or more sons and daughters
of the state, after which their society is
named. It is the custom of the officers
of the society always to have with them
at their annual reception some celebrity
hailing from Vermont. The guest of
honor was Charles A. Darling, Assist ant
Secretary of the Navy. Last year Cap
tain Clark of the bat,leship Oregon, had
they were in Vermont, and the only
thing that seemed lacking was the open
fireplace, which, however, modern archi-
lecture does not permit IN residences
along Prospect Park West.
Robert D. Benedict, pre- sident of the
society, took particular care to entertain
his gu SITS with he hospi atty character
istic OF tie New Englanders. Never an
idle moment did he spend. He was ably
assisted by john J. Allen, the vice presi-
dent, Frank H. Chandler, the trea surer,
and George E. Miner, the secretary. AS
sistant Secretary Of the Navy Darling
WAS pltdSdully iHlIOuuCSu ny TIC pISSl-
dent OF the society, Robert D. Benedict.
Mr.. Darling made graceful end friendly
little Speech in which be traced the rela-
tions between Vermont and the navy
from the war of 1912 to Dewey and
Clarke.
The former St. Johnsbury people pres
ent included MIR. and Mrs: Thomas E.
Bishop, Robert Bishop, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Nd. Stiles, Mr.. and Mrs. George
F. Miner and DR.. Tenney Wheatley.
Judge Hiram R. Steele. who was pres

Steele, who was judge of the
Vermont supreme court many years
ago. Letters of regret were read
from Gov. and Mrs. Mccullough,
Senator Proctor, Senator Dillingham;,
Congressman Haskins and many other
prominent Vermonters. The reception
was a very enjoyable one and nearly
every town in Vermont was represented.
Elijah R. Kennedy was elected presi-
dent of the New England Society Thurs
day night, Jan. 21; Judge w. B. Hurd,
first vice-president. and exJudge Steele,
second vice president. The election was
made public at the meeting of the Brook

Apparel for the Young Girl.

Dainty simplicity the Key Note-Re-
fnement in Teilet Acccssories-HIodes
i'm Perfumes.
Afternoon and evening toilets for
young girls differ little from the modes
prevailing in the adult world, and the
quaint models patterned after those of
her grandmother do much to enhance her
girlish charms
And with the wide scope Of the present
styles, home dressmaking is much less
difficult than with the severe modes of a
few seasons ago. More than one ravish-
ing toilet is possible to the girl of limited
means, and never was so wide scope
for individuality of taste.
But let dainty simplicity be the key
note in the young girls apparel. The
really well dressed girl is never over
dressed. Of hand work there cannot be
too much, and the material may be fine,
but never gorgeous.
The exquisite white gown I have de-
picted for you in my illustration is a
model particularly suited to the dainty
miss not yet ''out." It is made of wash
able peau de crepe, it's yoke hand tucked,
and is prettily trimmed in scroll design
in white satin ribbon. appliqued on by
fagot stitching in heavy silk.

The Grange and woman's Suffrage.

The Grange and WOman'S Suffrage.
The National Grange and the state
organizations are interesting themselves
in woman's suffrage, and this comes
quite naturally as the Grange is an order
that admits women on equal rights and
privileges with men. The State Grange
of Maine has endorsed woman's suffrage,
and the following resolutions were unani
mously passed at the recent meeting of
the Connecticut Grange:
Resolved, That the Connecticut State
Grange recognizes the equal rights OF
women by receiving them into full men,
bership, with the privilege of filling every
Office and voting for every officer and
measure.
Resolved, That the Connecticut State
Grange believes this equality OF rights
should extend even to matters of state,
and that it fully endorses the suffrage tor
women, and pledges its influence to
secure for them this right protective of all
other rights-a vote in the government
under which they live.
The movement is not confined to state
organiza lions, but is being endorsed by
the national body. At the last annual
session of the National Grange in Roch-
ester, N. Y, after a ringing address by
Susan B. Anthony, the following resolu-
ton was presented by T. P. Walcott of
Kentucky, and after prolonged discus
sion was adopted:
Resolved, That the National Grange
recognizes the equal rights of women BY
receiving them into full membership, with
the privilege of filling every office and
voting for eve.y officer and measure.
That the National Grange believes this
equality of rights should extend also to
matters of state, and that it fully
endorses the suffrage for women. and
pledges its influence to secure for them
this right protective of all other rights"
Ia voice in the government under which
they live.

The dark blue Silk Krash skirt on my
second figure exempli6es the new and
popular tucked model that is particu-
larry in evidence among well-dressed
women. The tucks are deep and four in
mum Der, the lowest about six inches in
depth, and the others are graduated, the
top one being about three inches deep.
Soft and rich, but not too dressy. Silk
Krash is a suitable fabric for all practi-
cal wear.
The girl or woman who wishes to
appear we'll dressed, no matter how
much individuality she introduces into
her gowns, must always carry an under
tone of the modes that be, even to her
smaller accessories, her boots and gloves
carefully selected, and her perfume refined
and delicate.
And as the fashions change in dress so
do they in perfumes, and in these days of
1880 modes milady delcately scents her
every garment with new and subtle
to the tastidious as Enigma-a creation
of TIE great Lubin OF Paris, whose
fame began in our grandmothers' time.
With care in the selection Of her hats,
avoiding all outre styles, fashionable,
though not exaggerated model in her
corset and any one of the C/B a la Spir-
ite models is an excellent one to choose
any blouse that leans toward simplicity
rather than sho witness, and she will pre-
senta charming picture of our much
admired American womanhood.

THE SHEEP INDUSTRY.

AS to Just what extent the raising
OF sheep can be profitable has not yet
been demonstrated it is not claimed
that Wood County is adopted to
any and every industry. Geo. Taylor
is evidently making success of the
industry on scale adapted to this
country. There are millions of sheep
on Montana ranges. There have been
fortunes made in business and fortunes
lost. This year was good one for
the growers. Montana has more
sheep than any other state or territory
in the Union, but there are less than
1000 persons engaged in the sheep
business as owners, and as these will
not require at the outside more than
5000 helpers, making total of 5000
men supported by the business, it
will be seen that the sheep business
in Montana is not such an important
factor as we might at first suppose.
Nor is there as much money in the
business as the uninitated suppose.
1t is generally estimated that the
profit on sheep for the year is ST..
That is to say, If the wool market is
fair and the loss ordinary, band Of
5000 will. after the running expenses
are paid, clear the owner $1,000.
The profit however, here in Wood
County can hardly be figured at this
rate at the present time, but there is
no question but what it is to become
one of our profitable industries in the
near future
