WIScASSET.

Wednesday evening, June 8th, a par
ty of eleven Huntoon Hill Changers at
tended the initiation and supper given
by Wiscasset Grange. Worthy Master.
G. f.. West and wife. Overseer F. 2.
Houdlette and wife, Treasurer, Joseph
Smith and sister, Asst. Steward, Will
liam FOye and wife. l.. A. Steward,
Addie Merry and brother, Edgar
Padger and wife, composed the parts.
The Grange was opened in third de-
gree. with Worthy Master Annie Dom
nell in the chair and nearly all
of the subordinate officers present.
The third and fourth degrees were
conferred upon two candidates in a
manner that called forth much admir-
alton from ill present, and is truly
worthy of imitation. All officers were
so cOnversant with their several parts,
as to avoid hesitation or undue length,
while the dignity and ease displayed
by the Worthy Master lent a charm
TO the whole, that was irresistible. The
very appropriate voice of the Worthy
Chaplain, together with his very rever-
ent manner, rendered the devotional
part OF the exercises. n most impress
sive feature of the evening. Sister Lii
liam Smith. of HuntoOn Hill Grange
assisted in the music which was also
much enjoyed. Supper was grand sue
cess in every respect, quantity, quail
ty and service, all of which were of the
very best. We should feel that we had
not done justice to Wiscasset Grange
did we not mention it's cosy, comfort
able. and convenient hall, which.
though not a large as many, is ample
for present need. With Robert Burns
we would say: It's not the house but
the people who are in it." At late
hour the visiting party said a reluctant
good night. feeling wiser, happier and,
we hope, better for the truly delight
fully spent evening.

There is legend that the first lace
was made by girl who preserved a
beautiful bit of seaweed by catching all
the dainty parts of leaves and stems to
a piece of linen with fine thread. The
most expensive lace manufactured to-
day is valued at $4,000 a yard. Such
lace is made, however, in small quanti-
ties. 1t is in imitation Of 'old point"
and the threat used is the finest filigree
silver. the pattern being thickly in
crusted with diamonds. The price of
this trimming is about $40 an inch
The high prices which the fine laces
command are. Of course, occasioned by
the careful workmanship that is re-
quired in their manufacture. Besides,
the thread is very expensive, an ounce
of Flanders thread having frequently
been sold at $50 a pound.
