MENDING THE BREAK

"a broken friendship, like china,
may be repaired, but the break will
always show some one says with a
good bit of truth and wisdom.
Friendship is precious thing
too precious a treasure to be care
lessly broken or lightly thrown away.
A true friend is a very anchor of
comfort and strength and courage,
One may be hardly dealt with aud
suffer injustice and misunderstand-
ing and many other cruel things, but
the heart will turn to a strong true
friend and find comfort in the
thought that this one at least under.
stands and appreciates and sympa-
thizes.
If you have ever one such friend,
do all IN your power to keep friend
ship unbroken. Let no cloud of sus-
p1clon mar happiness in each other.

ship of Mrs. George H. Ide, the subject

speaker of the afternoon. Mrs. Kate
Morris Cone, of Hartford, Vt. Mrs.
Cone spoke on What the educated
woman can do for the country town"
The typical educated woman of today is
one who can do different things we'll
Take for example Harriet Martineau, a
woman devoted to the interests of her
! town, identifying the streets, Improving
the parks, and endeavoring in,evey way
to uplift and beautify her village. She is
an example for Others to follow The
factory villages are the ones in which the
educated woman can show her power
and influence. To be sure she cannot live
an innocent and happy life in them, but
to certain extent law and order must
abide, and certain conditions exist. She
can show her influence in founding a vii
lage museum or historical society. Many
women help in the management of public
libraries while Others devote time to art
and handicraft, taste which should be
developed and studied in every town.
Woman, it is said, is municipal factor,
Through her scientific interest she should
become an information bureau, keeping
in touch and trying to use her influence
in improving the dilapidated buildings
and sidewalks of her town. Much of this
could come under village improvement, g
society formed 54 years ago, which ha:
accomplished great things.
After this scholarly paper, Mrs. HUI
bert W. Brooks favored the club with &
solo and the meeting adjourned.

A well-pleased audience left the opera
house Friday evening after the presenta-
ton of "A Dutchman's Honeymoon" by
Frank L. Whittier's up-to-date company
of players. They had everything to con-
graduate themselves for as they had
witnessed what is more or less rarity
on the stage today, that lisa comedy that
is really funny. 1t was veritable feast
of laughter with W. A. Bohme and Rob
ert 7. Parkinson as the chief joke-smiths,
supported by cast of players, who are
well up in the profession and widely
known and are favorites wherever they
appear. The specialties included char
acteristic dances and catchy songs
which drew forth much well-deserved
applause.
