Pembroke and East Bridgewater.
The maker of the dogs was son OF
Samuel Lincoln, who settled in Hing
ham seventeen or eighteen years afr
ter the landing of the Pilgrims. This
son established mills for grinding
grain, for saving out boards and other
building material, and one for the ex-
traction of iron from the rather in

more than good chateaubriand

Imnortance of the Veil.

The veil is always an important ac-
cessory to the hat, and veil modes
change even more often than hats.
The correct veil just now with the
tailor hats. meaning the simple toques,
turbans and Amazons worn with the
short skirted tailor suits, is of fine
figured lace, the color of the suit or
of some special trimming on the hat.
These wells are finished, as indeed,
are ALL on three sides, and when gath

smart women; but the long automo-
bile veil is not worn except for real
protection from the cold and wind.

A pretty fancy for the woman who
likes something different in gloves
are those with narrow gauntlet cuffs,

The gauntlets are regularly turned

Wouldn't Kiss Lincoln

The heroine of the following anec-
dote about Lincoln is now an old lady.
but she declares that when she recalls
the way in which she met the ad-
vances of the man who afterward be-
came her hero it still brings the blush
of shame to her cheek.
when 1 was about six years DID,"
she narrates, Lincoln for a short time
served in the general store of the
little yestern town near which was
my fathers farm. In the window of
this shop along with shoes, calicoes,
sun-bonnets, toys, candy-all the het-
nrogeneous stock of a country store
was displayed a bead pin-cushion,
which it was the ambition of my life
to own.
who has not at some time longed
for the unattainable-the thing just
out OF reach-which, for that very rea-
son, perhaps, seems to him the most
desirable object the world holds? That
bead pin-cushion was to me what
Great Britain was to Napoleon, but.
to ny despair, the little ticket pinned
to Its center read 'twenty-seven cents
just twenty cents in excess of my en-
tire bank account!
Week after week. when went
with my mother to the store to ex-
change butter and eggs for sugar and
other commodities which the farm did
not yield, the coveted prize lay tanta-
lizingly before my eyes. AS time went
on the brilliancy of the red rose which
adorned it's center began to fade; fly
specks appeared here. and there sui
lying the purity of the lilies, but new
er for a moment did my affections
waver Through whatever vicissitudes
it might pass, they still clung round
the wreck of the cushion.
'Lincoln's fellow-clerk, fresh-com-
plexioned young fellow, who with his
red cheeks and oiled locks seemed to
me perfect Adonis, and who, If the
truth were known, shared my heart
with the bead pincushion. always met
me with the stock pleasantly. Got
kiss for me to-day, little girl? Where
upon would be seized with par
oxysm of shyness and take refuge be-
hind my mothers skirts.
zone evening, after the red-cheeked
youth had proffered his request in vain
for about the hundredth time, a tall.
ungainly young man came forward.
and as he handed my mother her mail,
said:
Perhaps, little girl. you will kiss
me-"

a kiss I'll give you anything there is

from his great height, he lifted me to
the counter. where my face was on
level with his.
Anything in the store! I glanced
at the desire of my heart and my
resolution weakened.
"Nould-would you give me that
bead pincushion? l whispered.
He smiled and nodded assent.

was ugly-and grand (but l didn't
know that thenD. No, l shook my
head, the price was too high. Then
as l glanced at my blooming Adonit

me that l might strike bargain more

took my courage in both hands. If
you'll give me that cushion, I'll-IU

An Answer With d Postscript.


Mr.. Andrew Lang, the English critic,
is giving the public some heart to
heart talks on books and how to use
them. Stated courses of reading do
not appeal to him: He says: " ~

People who really care for books read all
Of them. There is no other course. Let
this be reply. No other answers shall
they get from me, the inquiring young
men. =
Farther on it appears that Mr.. Lang
is not too English in his prejudices to
admire an American production, for
he has this to say of the author of
"Evangeline:"
Next to Scott with me came Longfel-
low, who pleased me as more reflective
and tenderly sentimental, while the re-
hections We're not so deep as to be puz-
