SMILING A LOST ART.
Has the Old-Time Smile of Welcome
DisappearedP

IF I found myself suddenly forced to
earn my living 1 would start class in
smiling. The American girl of today has
forgotten her grandmother's pretty trick of
smiling. and 1 believe could make for
tune If 1 opened a school"
So said a charming old lady who had
not tempered with her hair when 1t began
to turn gray, and whose cheeks were like
the petal tips OF bridesmaid rose-just
the sort OF woman who would not think
of wearing anything but real linen lawn
or, soft silk, in the afternoon.
Facing the assemblage OF women-it was
afternoon reception called by the mis-
leading title of tea-a study in smiles
brought strange results. There was the
hostess, with a thin, drawn, polite express
sion about the corners of her mouth, an
expression that somehow said that. while
she was very glad TO see you, she was Won
dering in her heart of hearts whether the
desirable guests would all put in APP
pearance.
Then there was the smile of a woman just
beyond, the president of a noted womans
club. Hers was the smile of the absent
minded. You could tell by the blank look
in her eyes thar the smile she bestowed
on her companion merely cloaked her
thoughts regarding the program for the
next meeting.
Just opposite stood really beautiful girl
whom an obviously young man was trying
to entertain. She smiled, too, the smile OF
bored belledom. Yonder was a stately
dowager whose cards for dinners and
dances were in great demand. pretty
young matron basked for a moment in the
dowagers smile, but 1t was the smile Of
patronage, irritating rather than soothing.
Two rival beauties met at the punch table
and they both smiled the same smile-can

seemed to see their teeth, and you knew
that each was taking mental inventory of
the others points, good and bad. notably
bad.
A slender. wiry little creature hustled
across the room to greet her hostess and
her smile was the smile Of WEAKNESS that
follows on the quest for social recognition

The Milk in the Cocoanut.

"Now, that's what one gets for having
come from Maine," remarked il lady at The
Breakers as she sadly returned from the eX-
press office, where she had been sending
out one of those Palm Beach cocoanuts.
every body has to take thrust at the citi-
zen from Maine, because it is a prohibition
State. What do you think that crue-heart-
ed express man did? Well, he looked at
the address on the cocoanut, shook it until
he could hear the milk spashing inside,
and then said he feared he could not accept
the package, as there was heavy penalty
for Introducing liquor into the State of
Maine, and the express companies were be-
ing very closely watched. What do you
think of that9 presume the next best
thing | can do now is to buy package of

BELFAST HOME FOR AGED WOMEN

A special meeting of the incOrporatOrS
was held at the Home of the Society on
Tuesday evening, Jan. oath. There was
large attendance, and as some were there
for the first time there were many express
sions of surprise that the Home was so
well equipped for the work and that it had
such cosy, home)ike appearance
The meeting was called to amend the by
laws so that members of the Kings Daugh
ters and W. c. T. U. could be admitted to
membership in the corporation without the
payment of dues.
These societies have done great deal of
work for the home besides the payment of
several hundred dollars, and this step was
TAX en- by the corporation to show its ap-
probation of their work.
The bylaws were amended so that arti-
Gle 2 which related to membership was
made to read as follows:
ANY person of the age of twenty-one
years may become member Of this corpor-
alton by majority vote at any meeting of
the incorporatorS or directors upon pay
ment of membership fee of one dollar,
and may retain membership thereafter by
paying annual dues of one dollar. Such
as aforesaid, upon payment of twenty-five
dollars. Persons who have aided in fur
nishing the Home or in carrying on its
work may be excused from paying men,
bership fees and dues by vote of the in
corporators or directors"
In accordance with the above amendment
the following members of the societies of
Kings Daughters and w. c. I. U. were
elected to membership in this corporation :
Mrs. Annie Shute, Mrs. Carrie Price, Mrs.
Bertha Smith, Mrs. Nettie Cross, Mrs. j. G.
Aborn, Mrs. Louise Eisnor, Mrs. W. }. Heal,
Miss Myrtle Pendleton, Miss Evelyn PEN
dleton, Miss Lena Fernald, Miss Mae Ad-
ans, Miss Edith Woodbury., Miss Juliet A.
Wiggin, Mrs. Fannie Frost, Mrs. Nellie
Howard, Mrs. Mary Littlefeld.
Mr.. A. f. Clark was also elected member.
| Now Just word right here about men,
| bership in this corporation. We need the
help of every man and woman in this city
| to make this institution success, and by
becoming a member and paying one dollar
you can help the work. The annual fee is
small, but if five hundred will take advan-
tage of this easy way to help the total
amount received will be great blessing to
the Home. Think it over and send in your
name with one dollar, then when you are a
member take an interest in the Home and
| its work and invite your friends to join
with you.
A committee of five ladies, Mrs. w. A
Mckenzie, Mrs. o. E. Frost, Mrs. Olive II
Cooper, Mrs. Frances Murch and Mrs. E.
S. Pitcher has been appointed to get up d
social supper and entertainment for the
benefit of the Home and they are planning
it for Wednesday. February 10Th. The
Opera House has been hired for the day
and evening. There will be a sale of ar
ticles in the afternoon and supper and en-
tertainment in the evening. Further notice
will be given in due tme.-O. E. Frost, Sec
retary.

the finance committee came in with ssoupht
not to pass" written across the resolve to
appropriate $4,000 q year for the Waldo
County General Hospital there was lively
time. Senator Morse of Waldo asked the
Senate to lay the report on the table till
such a time as he could have an opportunity
to get the people Of Waldo together and
have new hearing on the matter. This
| motion was opposed by Senator Putnam Of
HOultOn, the chairman of the committee on
appropriations and financial affairs. The
Senate heard both men and then voted to
turn the finance committee down and the
Waldo hospital resolve now rests on the
table in the care of its friend Senator
Morse.
Speaking on his motion to table the COM
mittee's report, Senator Morse said in part:
"No doubt the members of the committee
on Appropriations and Financial Affairs
acted up to their highest conception of duty
in making their report. l have no doubt as
to the manner in which the case was pre-
sented. The attorney who was to have
presented the matter was unavoidably alb
sent. But still, will say that had no idea
that this resolve would meet with this fate.'
He then read statement of the hospital
work and went on to cite the aid which the
State has given to other hospitals. He said
that they were certainly worthy institutions
and he was glad that they did not hold out
their hands in vain. "And although the
governor has warned u.s. said he, "that we
must avoid extravaganza, do not think that
he wished us to turn down these worthy in
stitutions.''
Senator Putnam replied, saying that the
committee on appropriations and financial
affairs had given the matter full after
moons hearing and consideration and
though he hated to vote against the wishes
of the Senator from Waldo, and more par
ticularly the wishes of Representative
Poor of Belfast, who is member of the
committee, he felt that the report was just
and proper. 1t would be a bad precedent,
he said, to have the Legislature in the
fourth week Of its session turn down the
report of one of its committees which had
fully investigated matter.
By a vote of II to Z the Senate voted to
table the report. Senator Putnam asked
Senator Morse to name an early date for
taking the report from the table and the
Waldo Senator said, Wednesday, February
1St.

The cattle raiser of the West may now,
perhaps, get competition among buyers,
with resulting fair prices for his steers; the

sumer may be able to get cheaper meat.
