has more curves than the wool model and
on a figure that can stand the model one
of these frocks may DO chic II not actually

which the linen sleeves are attached and
which shows between the shoulders Of the
robe and the sleeves as well as in the
guimpe. This frock is braided in white
soutache and soutache braiding is used on
a good proportion of the new linen models,
Though 1t has enjoyed such a long season
of popularity that one questions whether
the summer will see 1t still in favor.
Linen frocks of the semi-princess type
such as were worn last summer, but a
trifle looser and often with shortened
waist line are numerous and often ex-
tremely pretty. Shades OF rose and berry
are especially liked for these models, and
indeed throughout the new materials one
finds these colorings and the lighter pinks
much in evidence.

mended that a school history he published

FROM BINGHAM HEIGHTS.
Fitting Approach to Moosehead't
Grandeur.

A visitor to Somerset county is
hardly prepared to find within it's
limits one of the most beautiful rail-
road rides in the country. The climb
up the valley from Bingham Heights
on the Somerset railroad is equalled
in scenic beauty only by the ride on
Baltimore & Ohio up the Cumberland
Gap and that along the east branch
of the Delaware on the New York,
Ontario and Western, and excelled
only by the famous ride through the
Crawford Notch of the White noun
tains, in all the country east of
the Rocky mountains. This bit of fine
scenery is not as we'll known to the
travelling public of America as it
ought to be. Other localities far in
ferior in real beauty are more widely
advertised and more generally known.
From Bingham Heights the train
steadily climbs along the eastern
slope of the Gorge until it reaches
.
The stream at the bottom of the val
ley runs in and out among the trees,
gathering in pools and falling over
the lodges. The finely nodded slopes
on the opposite side Of the Gorge are
clothed in an unbroken mass of rich
est vendure, restful to the eye and
uplifting to the mind. Beyond ques-
ton the Somerset railroad furnishes
the most fitting approach to the gran
deur of the Moosehad lake region. The
ride up the Gorge from Bingham to
Deadwater, the wild forests, lonely
lakes. and fine scenery along the
road past Moxie lake and mountain,
and the sudden burst of the grand
stretches of Moosehead as the road
breaks through the dense forest, pre-
pare one for the peculiar and exhilar-
ating scenes of Kineo, the lake and
the wild and fascinating streams of
the region. When varied attractions
of this route to Moosehead and to
the fishing and camping grounds of
northern Maine become better known
Somerset county will become the pop
ular approach. The building of the
extension from Skowhegan to Nor
ridgewock to make direct connections
from Waterville, is the pressing ne
cessity for the popularizing of this
most charming route to Moosehead
and northern Maine.

It is stated by the London Lancst
that The English professional class
es. who head the list as the tallest Of
adult males, attain the average height
of five feet nine and one-fourth inch
es. Next on the list come the Ame--
lean males, and a minute fraction be-
hind them come the English of all
classes. Most European nations ay-
erage for the adult male five feet six
inches; but the Austrians, Spaniards,
and Portuguese just fall short of this
standard"

Failure after long perseverance is
much grander than never to have a
striving good enough to be called a
failure.
Let us be of good cheer, however,
remembering that the misfortunes
hardest to bear are those which never
come.
The man who in this world can
keep the whiteness of his soul is not
likely to lose it in any other.
