Now is good time to organize a club
in your village or neighborhOod. The
tastes of your neighbors may be more
social than literary. in that case. it
might be well to, in the beginning,
have the meetings perfectly informal,
something like the old-fashioned
spending the day of our mothers
and grandmothers' time. Sewing.
knitting, fancy work may be allowed,
and even encouraged. until the new
ness'' of the idea he somewhat worn
away. The time given to the exchange
of iieas. harmless social chat and the
companionship of friends and acduaint-
anccs, with the broadening effects
upon individual horizons. would be
very restful and refreshing. The re-
freshmcnts should be limited to sand
witches and tea. fruits. or anything
light enough not to burden the hostess.
Reading and discussions of neighbour
hood needs might be gradually intro
duced until even those not wishing to
take active part in them would become
interested.
AS 4 suggestion. the farm women
might take up the subject of the school
facilities provided for their children
and "A little concerted action in that
direction might result in a very great
bettclment of prevailing conditions
Let them see that the children are
housed comfortably and taught prop
erly: see that the seemingly dull child
has III careful instruction as do the
bright ones. Take the teacher into
your confidence. make yourselves
familiar with present conditions. and
try TO plan for more desirable ones
You can make your children love the
farm life, and much can be done, also,
to develop tastes and higher ideas in
your neighborhood. The social affairs
are toe often sacrificed to the fancied
needs Of the material.-The Commoner.

AN OLD BATH HOUSE.
Interesting Features Of Dwelling
Erected in 1908.

One Of the oldest and most historic
residences in Bath, Me, is the home of
Mrs. George NJ. Shepard. at the corner
of Washington and Shepard streets.
Built in 1903. it has been kept in a
perfect state of preservation. In many
of the rooms are the pieces Of furniture
originally installed. On the walls of
the north parlor Is the original wall
paper, looking almost as fresh and
handsome as 1t did when it was put on
over a century ago. and much more at
tractive to the occupant and to callers
than any Of the patterns of more mod
ern design.
The house was built by George M.
Shepard for a tavern and for many
years was known to the public as
Shepard's Inn. There. in the days of
old, the yellow stage coaches used to
pull up at night and leave their tired
passengers. while in the big stables at
the rear the horses used to find shelter
and fodder.
All of the rooms are large, with deep
window seats and shutters, but one of
the most conspicuous sights which
greets the caller as he enters Is the
little window at the rear of the hall.
There was the bar, that being before
the birth of the prohibitory law, and
there II was that the guests were
served their hot toddies before retiring
for the night
The lower floor of this house was
arranged originally much as it is today
but the upper floor. or at least the
south side of it was vastly different.
1t was divided into two rooms in which
cot beds were placed. The rooms were
separated by swinging doors or par
titions which could be raised and hook
ed to the ceiling out of the way when
it was desired to make a hall large
enough for dances, banquets or other
social occasions.
Solar Lodge of Masons. of which
Governor William King was the first
master. was organized in the house of
one Of the members who lived on
Smith street. in the month of Septem-
Der. 1904, and after the exercises the
members of the new lodge adjourned
to the Shepard Inn, where a banquet
was held.
In every room today is a big fire
place in which big brass andirons
which have stood as silent sentipels
for more than 100 year.
The original dining table, with its
claw feet and old-fashioned Chippen-
dale bureaus are there. and the old hall
clock still ticks off the hours as merri-
ly as 1t did of old .'~ ~
The parlor wall paper, however. is
what drives the guests into ecstacies.
ior II certainly is beautiful. 1t was
brought from Italy by Captain James
Hall. who was son-in-law of Mr.
shepard, and was put on the wall in
iso4. The paper did not come in rolls
but In square sheets. 1t is highly COL
ored In natural tints and looks like
scenic painting. One of the squares
shows the Vatican at Romes.

Maine Club women have been deeply
Interested in the recently published in
terview with Mrs. Alice Frye Briggs of
Auburn in which she earnestly depre-
Gated the fact that the Maine Feder-
alton Is opening its doors to 50 many
reforms and interests instead Of adher-
ing to the original lines-the social and
literary betterment Of all members.
Mrs. Briggs, who was an early presi-
dent of the Federation believes, that
the spreading out Of the Federation has
driven out many of the women for
whom it was really instituted. In clos
ing Mrs. Briggs says: There is chance
for work of many kinds. and there are
many organizations for many branches
of labor. but l wish to say to the club
women Of Maine: If you mean to live,
to grow and to be, concentrate, deepen,
enthuse. instead Of spreading out your
forces. thinning out your powers and
wasting your vigor upon so many kinds
Of endeavor that you accomplish moth
ing in any one branch of work. Feed
yourselves that you may have the
strength. the judgment, the ability to
feed others"
