Magazine and Book Notes

''Piney Home" is the name of new
book of Maine and its people, written by
George Selwyn Kimbali and published by
Herbert B. Turner & Co., Boston. The
characters are true to life-not oyerdrawn,
not exaggerated. They are characters of
the rugged, sometimes rough, but always
true manhood of which Maine is proud
The story takes the reader into the
homes of its people and into the depths of
tine pine woods. He sees the men at
work in the lumEer camp and on the
drive, he sees the family at home. Love
and adventure add sentiment and interest.
Through it all is the fragrance of the pine
woods, which remains with the reader
whenathe book is laid down.

AT ALEXANDRA COTTAGE.

The Frances E. Willard union was enter
tanned on Friday, June 2, its regular
meeting day, by DR.. Abby NJ. Fulton, at
her charming seaside residenee-sAlex-
andra," at Manset. Although the weather
appeared threatening at one time, there
was large attendance. DR.. Fulton's fame
as hostess is so well known that pleas
ant social function was looked for. The
anticipation was fulfilled.
The elegant simplicity of the decors-
ton, accorded well with the whole
interior of the house. There were pointed
frs tipped with the tender green of the
spring, garianded with white ribbon,
lovely wild flowers on table and sideboard
and mantels, exquisitely arranged in
chambers and halls, all gathered from the
grounds about Alexandra. The cordial
welcome and the tempting array of choice
yiands went to make up am occasion never
to be forgotten by all present.
After refreshments, those who had never
been taken over this house ''beautiful'i
were escorted over the upper chambers
and to the tower where the mountains OF
Mt. Desert are spread nut beyond the
adjacent islands in one of the finest views
to be seen on the Maine coast.
Most of those present did not know that
there was to be business meeting al
which some questions of finance were tC
be submitted, discussed and settled; bills
that had been paid by the county treasur-

caused by reason OF this ignorance, ane

by Percy S. Foster. The success of
this concert and MIR. Fosters able han

Whose deeds, both great aud small,
Are close knit strands of an unbroken thread.

Thy love shall chant It's own beattudes
After It's own life working. A ehild's Hiss

Some one has said II would be presumptuous
to write in eulogy on Shakespeare, when he has
SO exquisiiely pronounced his own:
To gid refined gold. to paint the lily,
To throw perfume on the violet.
To smooth the ice. or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper light
To seek the beau,eous eye of heaven to garuish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.

seription of the soldiers home In Togus. How
nice it is that the brave old soldiers can have
such nice home provided for them.

soldiers graves cor menced In the South. And

"Circling years may come and go,
With sunni er's heat and winters snow,
And time will hide beneath her leaves
Many an autumn's golden sheaves;
Yet loving hearts cannot forget,
And countless cheeks the warm tears wet,
When the nation with measured tread
Approaches graves where rest her dead"
