Chebeague l.
- -
Defyins the Years.

One of the best preserved houses on
Chebeague Island is the John F. Ham
ilton place. This house was built 81
years ago. on its pleasant East End
site. and with all the wear and tear
of the weather for 81 summers and
winters is still wearing the same
shingles as when built. The Sc
cret is in good stock and good
paint. No wood will live for any
considerable time without this
protection as almost everyone knows,
but few houses can boast this record.
The shingles were dipped before be-
ing laid on the roof, and have been as
carefully painted at intervals as the
walls of the house ever since.

Everyone who has been privileged
10 visit the new Hamilton at Great
Chebeague Island since the furniture
has been put in and the house really
equipped, has expressed most I'M
stinted praise for the interior decora-
tions and equipment. The scheme of
color in the rugs and cushions for the
lobby and parlor harmonizes so COM
pletely with the heavy mission furni-
ture in the former room and the neat
green wicker seats and chairs in the
latter, that the impression is one of
GOODNESS, ease and luxury. The
weathered brown and green effect of
the walls is lightened and bright
ened by large rugs of solid colors,
red predominating and red cushions
of the best make are fitted to the
large chairs and window seats. The
reading and card room and the writ
ing room of the parlor are furnished
In the same general style and are
both gems and thoroughly in taste
and harmony with the interior of the
two larger rooms. A heavy wrought
iron and bronze fire set gives the fin
ishing touch to the effect of the lobby.
The dining room, kitchen, serving
room and Office which are also on the
hrst floor are complete in their indi-
vidual details, the 100 chairs in the
dining room, being of the latest style
of black oak with rush seats. Even
the glass and china follow the colonial
style after which everything in the
house is patterned. The water has
been pronounced AL by a prominent
physician who says any spring flow
ing 5000 gallons day must be pure.
On the sleeping floors the main
halls running through the house from
end to end are oarpeted with Q. mar

nished in handsome style also and
with the best of springs and sanitary
felt mattresses.
The helps quarters are entirely in
the basement, there being eleven ex-
cellent rooms besides a dining hall
here. The hot water heating plant

The opening dinner yesterday was
attended by a select party of invited
guests. all OF whom were shown over
the house and inspected every part.
giving appreciation to each evidence
OF the superior equipment of the new
MOTEL. Mr.. Hamilton has without
question most commercially set the
pace for Casco Bay hotels by building
a house such as those which have
made New Hampshire famous and of
which we have too few at present. Ev-
erything points to the filing of the

Successfully Graduated.

AT the graduation exercises of the
High School held in the Methodist
church last evening, the interesting
program announced last week was
given very successfully. The music
was OF high order and pleasingly
rendered by the orchestra. The
young ladies, particularly those
having the speaking parts, were very
becomingly attired in white with the
class colors shown here and there.
Decorations of flowers and greenery
added the finishing touch of beauty to
the scene. A large attendance of is
land and summer people were present.
The salutatory by Miss Georgia Town
ly Hamilton and class history by
Ruth Lillian Hamilton followed the
opening of the program after two
musical selections and the prayer by
Rev. w. b. Eldridge. Both these
declamations showed much depth of
thought in preparation. The class
GRAFTON by Carlton Manning Littlefield
was mastery effort, and was given
with excellent force and delivery. A
musical selection followed after which
Miss Lenora Esther Bennett gave the
class poem and Miss Bennett was gen.
erously applauded for her most ac-
ceptable rendition of this difficult
though pleasing part. In addressing
the undergraduates, Miss Dora Esther
I.ittlefield gave much food for thought
TO the graduates of the next two class
es and Miss Louise Evelyn Hamilton
gave an amusing and welltaken class
prophecy. John Franklin Hill had
the honor OF delivering the valedic-
tory. which he did in convincing and
forceful manner. Two more musical
selections and the comforting of diplo-
mas by the principal, Mr.. Leighton,
and the School Committee, closed the
evenings exercises. The gathering
could well perceive that the training
of the scholars in the Chebeague High
School has not been neglected. and
they leave their studies here we'll
equipped for whatever course may
be their future fortune to pursue.
