Maine Folk in California.
Los ANGELES, CAL, April !, Il

To the Editor Of The American:
From the number OF people assembled
in Burbank hail last evening, it is evident
that there are quite a number OF natives
OF the Pine Tree State who are now max
ing their homes in Los Angeles. The &C.
casion was the monthly meeting of the
Maine society Of Los Angeles. Over 500
were present, and delightful evening
was enjoyed by all.
The programme consisted OF good old
fashioned New England dinner, speeches
and short talks by officers and members
OF the society, renewing the old and max
ing the acquaintance Of new members,
and entertainment by the California Pro-
motion club. While enjoyed the meet
ing of old friends and making OF new
ones, was particularly interested in the
novel products of this state. Col. Dudrow
exhibited and explained the beauties of
the climbing rose of many colors, and
went into detail showing how that excel
lent fruit, grape fruit, was produced, and
also showed how eggs were preserved for
an indefinite period. BY this process eggs
can be kept nice and fresh for an expense
of less than one-half cent dozen.
Before the meeting closed DIR. w. A.
Lamb, of the Massachusetts, society, sug-
gested the amalgamation of the various
New England states associations into one
New England society. This arrangement
appealed to all present, and committee
was appointed to complete arrangements.
After the reading of very interesting
paper ON Maine, by A. /. Merrill, of Bush
field, the meeting wss closed, and we all
went to our homes, proud of the honor of
being natives of the good old Pine Tree
State. REV. +. T. MORGAN.

Dear Aunt Madoe and NJ. B. Sisters:
Returning from New York ten days ago. the
time passed so quickly l found no chance to
send line until arrived 10 Togus; and here
the hours go swiftly by. and The came excuse
stares me In the face-.No Time" So I'm taking
Aunt Maria's advice: "wri,e when you haven,
any time"
While In New York the days were warm and
sunny, and as l was out twice day II was q
pleasure, the whole visit. As I promised TO
send an idea of the things we wear. / will do so.
SKIRTS and jackets come first. The skirts are
cut In number Of nice easy ways-dye gored
skirt with q wide band around the bottom, of
the same goods; seven-gored skirt with several
small bands around the bottom, the box
plested skirt and the triple plated skirt; the
skirt with three wide tucks. fullness put around
the waist easy. Let the slender people try the
hve-gored and tucked skirt; the stouter ones,
the seven. gore and plated ones.
The jackets are short; in spite of everything
you will all have to wear a short jacket and
short sleeves. The shirt waists Insist upon be-
ing opened In the back and short sleeved. Don't
that sound alarming; however. we stu have the
tailored shirt waist. and we can all wear those.
Put lots of tucks in, then take narrow lace and
cloth underneath. Don't forget 10 put friil of
lace always IN the neck and sleeves and make a
collar Of The same and sew 1t on.
Everybody will wear white. 90 have either n
mohair or serge or nuns yelling. They all
wash and look well and are a great comfort.
Don't wear your skirts too short unless you are
blessed with charming ankles ana pretty feet.
The null embroidered dresses are for dressy
occasions; also the lace dresses which are very
dainty, and some are inexpensive. The ging-
hams are as pretty as the foulard silks and cost
almost as much and wear so well. The invisible
check of grey is supposed to be the one thing
this summer. but beware, my sisters, none but
the fairest of compilations can truly wear it,
and those with grey hair.
Can't write another wood. I'm having an
awful good time up here, and don't want to
spare you any more Of my time. With Easter
greetings to all. ANON.
In behalf of the entire sisterhood /
thank you, Anon, for this helpful inform
alton. I am glad the day of invisible
checks has again dawned on the fashion
world, they were always SO pretty.
