 Polly reflected. Why should Mrs. Pickles have all the best? If Mrs. Tickles rellnquished the white carriage and pony and the diamonds to Mrs. Pickles, then why should Mrs. Tickles rank second In the matter of a parlorl

 ''Then, what can she wear?" questioned Polly, shade of disappointment in her voice. She had associated Mrs. Tickles with pink satin and diamonds, and 1t cost her an effort to give them up.

Southern Governors In New England

The coming of the southern COVER
nors and their talks to the people OF
New England will not be the only in
teresting feature of the southern ex-
hibit at the New England fairs at
Concord, N. H., st. Johnsbury, w.,
and Waterville, Me.
Mrs. Neva Summers Burgess, who
is doing SO much for the material wei
fare of the old people of the south,
comes north with the work of these
people which will be especially inter
esting to the women of New England.
A great deal of effort has been put
forth for the development of the
younger generation down south, but
little done for the older ones. The
work Mrs. Burgess Is doing deserves
the encouragement and assistance of
all interested in the betterment of the
elderly people. both white and color
ed, In the south.
This energetic young woman SET
tied In q remote section of North Car
DINA, where she could best give help.
There she founded the Southern
Handicraft Shops, at Pinebluff, North
Carolina. Her work has steadily
grown until the articles made have a
national reputation and are ordered
from far and near.
To assist those who cannot come
to the Pinebluff settlement, materials
are shipped to the homes, from Vir.
ginie to t. xas, where they are made
into various articles.
Mrs. Burgess is an advocate Of that
which must reach the people, to send
forth an artistic element into the
homes, thereby raising the standard
That industrial schools may be
established all through the south, il
the earnest plea of this handicraft
worker, several Of which have already
materialized from her suggestion.

with black chantilly lace insertion and
tucks and is designed to be completed
as costume with bodice in the same
materials. SThe fabric used may be all
white, white with black spots, black
with white spots or white with color.
A thing of decided chic in the midst
Of omntpresent elaboration and fussy
details is the plainly made black taffe-
ia gown. A wonderfully smart exam
pie Of it has the bodice cut into a small
severe V at the top, back and front,
and filed in with chemisette formed
Of row upon row Of ivory bebe Dalen-
ciennes. A rather unusual severity also
characterizes the sleeves, which are of
course elbow length and finished with
tight little lace frills. The whole effect
Is distinctive and peculiarly pleasing.
Another black taffeta boasts the orig
inal feature of white chiffon sleeves
caught with loose straps of the taffeta
that recall the slashing effects Of the
Charles II. period. These sleeves i'm
part very novel touch and point to
trend predicted by some Of the gown
builders as probable development in
the autumn-that is, sleeves different
in kind from the corsage.
Just as fashion had called halt
upon the blouse and seemed upon the
point Of drifting away from the sep
arate waist into the bodice proper
came shower Of lovely summer waist
fabrics that saved the situation. And

STOWE MASONIC HALL
Rebuilt and Refurnished throughout, Max
ing it the finest Society Room in
LsmOille County

The Masonic building which has
been in the hands of workmen since
the first of June is now ready for oc-
cupancy, having been remodeled and
reprinted to an extent that makes it
practically new building and an adj
dition to the appearance Gifts neigh
borhood. The building has been oc-
cupied by the Masons since 1896.
The entire outside finish of the build.
ing has been renewed and large We
randa has been added to the front.
The building is heated by furnace
and lighted by gas.
The veranda, which is 10 feet wide
by 80 feet in length and furnished
with Ia 160Ocandle power lamp, is de.
signed for smoke talks and other
social occasions. The entrance hall,
six feet vide, runs the whole length
of the southern side of the building
and is finished in spruce. The kitchen
is 10 by Is feet and fitted with mod
ern conveniences. The remaining
space on She first floor is occupied by
the dining hall, which itEis estimated
will seat 100 people. 1t is papered
and painted in green. Dining room
and kitchen are connected with cleo
tric b ellis.
A AEeht of stairs at the eastern end
of thE entrance hall leads to the ante
room on the second floor, which is
IKEA feet with closet at one end.
The assembly hall is 80 feet long, 81
feet wide and 13 feet high. 1t is
handsomely finished in red birch.
The HALLS above the birch wainscot
and Il he ceiling are finished with pulp
plaster. The walls are tinted buff,
the cd ling light blue. The furniture
is of auartered oak, upholstered in
leather. The draperies at the three
stations will be of dark red chenille.
1t is probably as handsome hall as
is to be found in this vicinity.
Much credit is due Master G. w.
Buzzell, who has had charge of the
work and has been largely instru-
mental in having the repairs made.
1t is expected that the building will
be opened on the evening of Sept. 10,
when the other lodges of the district
will be invited and a banquet served.
Mystic Lodge, No. Sc, was organi-
Esd ~ years ago, the charter bearing
the date of January II, 1861.
There were 10 charter members. The
