MEETING OF WALDO COUNTY GRANGE

A very interesting meeting of Waldo
County Pomona Grange was held Nov. 10Th
with Sunlight Grange at Knox Station. The
officers were all present except the Lecturer
and Pomona. While the candidates were
being prepared for the fifth degree Edward

the order. A class of five was instructed in
the fifth degree. The roll call of oranges
found ten represented. The noon recess
was then taken. On calling to order again
a fine address of welcome was given by
Bertha Shibles and the Worthy Master ably
responded in behalf of the Pomona. The
topic, 'To what extent should present prices
of potatoes and apples influence farmers to
pursue these two branches Of farming ?"
was discussed by C. E. Smith, McGray,
Paul, Libby, Ware, Evans, Clements and
Foster. They all thought these two crops
the most remunerati7e crops that can be
raised in this section. The discussion was
followed by reading by Ellen Shbles, song
by Belle Crosby, rec. by Mary Clark, selec-
tions on graphophone. lecture by K. ID.
Leavitt, chairman of the State Grange ex-
ecutive committee, and remarks by E. E.
Addition, treasurer of the State Grange.
The afternoon session was public and was
addressed by Mayor Hanson of Belfast.

River Grange, Liberty, Dec 10th, with the
following program: opening exercises; con-
ferring fifth degree; report Of oranges; ad-
dress of welcome by John Carey; response
by Mrs. L. F. Sukeforth; remarks for the
good of the order; appointment of commit
tee; recess; music; topic, At the present
prices of hay and grain will it pay the far

and aunt who spared no pains in making
the occasion most enjoyable one-was
about filled with invited friends extending
their congratulations Refreshments were
served near the close of the evening. The
marked success of the happy event was
due in no small measure to Miss Helen
Wilbur, close friend of the bride. Miss
Grace r. Gilkey aad Miss Hall were also ex-
ceedingly helpful. The bride has taught
several terms since her graduation at the
Castine Normal school few years ago, and
is deservedly held in high esteem by a large

tee med, and is graduate of the Rockland
H Ugh school, the Castine Normal school
and of the University of Maine, class of

Flowers in Sick Rooms

In sending flowers to an invalid. great
discrimination must be practced. In
the first place. be careful not 10 cause
any extra work TO the already over
burdened family.
For this reason. growing plants are
undesirable, and, besides, while the old
idea that they harmed the sick one by
remaining In the room over night IS
only a superstition. it is true that the
invalid may easily harm them. especial
IL if they are much handled.
In the second place. do not send now
ers having a very pronounced or sick
ening odor. Tuberoses are thus distinct
" barred, as are other flowers of taeir
class.
Thirdly. avoid violent color contrasts.
The nervous system is always slightly
deranged and the perceptions unduly
sharpened in a serious Illness and the
contrast Of vivid reds and pinks and
yellows may be really harmful, and
will surely be disagreeable TO the pa
tent Choose, instead, delicate pinks,
soft creams. or light blues. On the
other hand. do not, above all, send
white roses, unaccOmpanied by any
other flower. nor an abundance OF un-
relieved white hOWers or any kind. You
migat just as well order floral pillow
marked AT Rest for the effect il will
have upon the recipient Of your mis-
taken kindness.
The sick are often inclined 10 be
morbid, and nothing but cheerful sug-
gesuons should be presented TO their
ina ginauOns. Finally, prefer the I'M
usual flowers. You may be pretty sure
that many besides yourself Will send
roses and carnations and violets. The
little bunch of ragged robins or the
cluster of old-fashioned pink peonies
Will be q thousand times more appre-
ciated.
And best OF all will be the butter
cups or the homeiy black-eyed Susans
which tell, perhaps, Of a far-off happv
/ nome or a dear one loved and gone.

Hight summer dresses
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1907-08-20

To keep thin dresses, such as organ
dies and muslins. in good condition and
not have them lose all their crispness
during the summer season, two things
are necesss ry-plenty Of tissue paper and
a little gum in the starch. Quite new
frocks that have not been Numbered
cannot have the latter but soft
paper and care in putting taem away
after wearing will bring the most
wrinkled to presune freshness as soon as
the dampness has dried OF.
No thin wash frock should hang It
win lose freshness quicker that way
than in any other. whether there be
dsmpnsss or not. All should be folded
when put away. and in the manner in
which this IS done lies the secret Of their
continuing TO look new.
A frock tnat has never been Numbered
should be carefully shaken when taken
OF, and the skirt laid out fat on the bed
with the creases at the side, thus leaving
the back and FROM lying together Pull
the under part until it Is quite without
wrinkles. and smooth the top Have
ready a twist OF tissue paper the length
Of the skirt The same twist can be
used many times. Put one Of these I'D
and down in such way that one end OF
each twist Is at each edge OF the belt
with the curve Of the skirt projecting
beyond the other end at the hem.
Take this curve OF point and lay Il
over toward the center. The twist you
see, prevents the material from hatten-
ing down 20 a crease or line as II would
without padding. Lay in another twist
