HOW LADIES MAY HELP

What enterprising women can do to
make their home towns attractive and
pleasant to live in for themselves as
well as strangers is shown in the fol-

picturesque drives and its old colonial

In the Belfast Improvement society,
although it numbers some masculine
members, the working force Is COM
posed entirely Of women, and the work
which they have done is noteworthy.
The society was organized five years
ago. and has been tireless in its efforts
toward making the home town more
attractive. Among their successful ef-
forts are the erection of band stand
on the common, construction of gravel
footpath on Northport avenue, having
the town water carried to the cemetery,
Boston ivy planted around the school
houses, barrels for the reception of
waste paper placed around the streets,
eleven reproductions Of famous paint

building and maintenance Of picnic

holding numerous social functions and

Town Identifying

A Worcester (Mass.) newspaper Ia.
ments that one can ride in trolley car
through all the cities, towns and vii
lagos from Boston to New York with
out learning the names Of any Of them
from legend placed by the wayside
to attract the travellers attention, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. The state
ment is little exaggerated. The great
towns are readily identified, but the
case Is different with respect to the
smiling villages to be found on every
electric line which runs to the country
side.
Scarcely any Of these alluring little
settlements can be identified unless one
happens to pass the postoffice or the
steam railway station or is fortunate
enough to be riding with knowing
and communicative conductor. One Of
these officials, employed on a street
railway line running out Of Philadel-
phia, had such slight knowledge Of the
territory through which his car was
passing that he was unable to give to
an interested passenger the name OF q
fine stream SPAWNED by graceful, old
fashioned, stone arched bridge over
which the tracks were laid.
Fortunately this dense Ignorance Of
local geography, of the names Of Ills
toric buildings and scenic features gem
orally, as to which the alert traveller
wishes to be Informed, 10 not common
among trolley car conductors. The
rider who was so lucky as to find q
place with the loquaclous driver in the
old stagecoach days needed no better
guidebook, but he Is gone, and the
casual traveller must seek elsewhere II 4
he would discover his latitude and Ion
gitude.
Our pretty little towns and villages
should be more self assertive and blow
their trumpets louder for the sake Of
the wayfarer who speeds through them
in the "broomstick train" A readable
sign at the boundary line woIldSbs

which have interesting HISTORICAL asoo-
Citations should be appropriately la.s,

mates were hanged for practicing

Many churches bear no name upon
their walls. 1t would be satisfactory
to know what denomination worships
in such an inviting place. There may
be scores of business signs along the
route and none giving the most impor-
tant information Of oil, the name Of the
settlement. One may travel through
long succession OF villages without
learning their names. Property own
ers are too modest We wish to know
who lives In the commanding residence
ON the hill or in the attractive cottage
empowered In roses. The trolley lines
have done much to waken up our VII
