A Christmas Mix-Up.

"No," said Mrs. Jordon, quite
grOuchy, Il can't say that Julia Hop
kins is really smart and intelligent
woman. OF course she sings well and
reads heavy novels and all such, but
she thinks too much Of her personal ap-
pearance to be really brainy. Why?
We went bathing the other day to-
gether, and would you believe me, but
! give you my word of honor, Josiah,
was nearly struck dumb with the way
she made herself up. No, not exactly
painted but she told me confdentially
that she used special kind of face
cream under her powder during the
winter months and cooling lotion in
the hot weather, and she also uses
| three kinds Of hair tonic, and-oh |
don't know what ALL And when we
had our shampoo-you should have seen
the extra hair she put on"
Mr.. Jordan dressed for dinner and
| waited calmly for the finish of his
wife's sartorial preparations and
smiled whimsically with his eagle eye
on the dressing table before which his
wife sat. 1t held quite an assortment
of dainty boxes and bottles and Josiah
knew full well that there were many
more tucked away in various drawers
| and cupboards and out of the way
places that he knew nothing of. He
kept on watching Mrs. Jordan smiling
| ly touch her cheeks with a delicate
pink powder, applied a white powder
to her forehead, nose and throat,
dellcately corrected eyebrows with a
black pencil, pinching the hairs Into
better shape with some kind of muci-
lage that was sweet smelling, rubbed
and manipulated the lobes of her ears
until they were as pretty to look at as
a Hood River Spitzenberg apple, added
the finishing touches to her hair with
a special curling iron and pinned on
six or eight puifs and froid. While
she was pinching and pressing her
| lips to perfect their shape, Josiah, the
mere man, INDUCED in a speech.
MY dear, " said Josiah gently, ''why
do you find fault with Julia Hokpins
for 'making-up, and what is the
difference between her and other
women? Every time you try new
cosmetic dodge you tell me that al
the women ! know are doing it, anC
you seem to be going some in The
same direction of facial decoration JUS
at the present time Why is it 81
much worse for Julia to do such things
to her face and hair than for you tt
be doing the very same thing?"
, Josiah Jordan" stammered Mrs
Jordan with all of her dignity, "if
hadn't any more horse sense than YOU
have | would certainly hide it as mucl
as possible. OF course, use but YER,
little powder. The woman WHIT
doesn is a guy, always. Then too,
add little hair, not because | need it
if the fashions weren't so severe bu
because don't want to disgrace yol
by looking worse than the wives O
your friends. All the hair fixings
wear are made from my own combings
and there is also the greatest differ
ence in the world between usng LITTLE
plain powder and making up your face
like perfect mask.

strong among the Representatives and
Senators. Evidently the people will

BUY SIN NEW TRANSFORMERS.
Cory, Deayitt and Frost Company
Purchases Transformers, Among
the Largest in New England.

Six new transformers for the Cory.
Deavitt and Frost Electric Company
have arrived here and are in the Wells
River railroad yards. Three of them
are to go to the new plant at Kinney
Mills and the others will be set up
in a substation at the Wetmore and
Morse quarry in Barre.
These are the largest transformers
in this part of the State, at least, and
there are few like them in New Eng'
land. They are of General Electric
Company make and each holds A bar
rels of oil. They are of $50 kilowatt
capacity and are what is known as the
efficiency type.
The three at the power plant will be
used to store up the current from O.
300 volts, the generating tension, to
10000 volts for transmission to Gran
iteville. The three installed there
will push down the current to 4S0
volts for use at the motors. By this
system low voltage at the dynamos
is possible, which is cheaper in many
ways. At the same time the high ten
sion on the long line of wire to Barre
allows a saving of copper, which at
the present market price of that arti-
Gle is a big item.

house (Which was back of the Bailey

fire. were badly burned, so their faces
and hands had to be painted to keep
the air from the burns.
Every boy must have drank cold
spring water from the water that
gushed from the drill hole in the rocks
near the Bailey & Taft grist mill.
This was where a company of men
had caused to be drilled to the depth
of $50 feet hunting for salt.
Montpelier in these days had a few
elderly men who were in touch with
the active business interests. Most
of them wore long BLACK coats, tile
hats and sticks. The men were
from so to 60 years of age, and their
advice and cousel was sought by the
younger men. Among the so-called
busy men were Levi Boutwell,, Col. e.

NJ j. Hapgood of Peru has replied
to Hon. John A. Meads recent open
letter as follows
Peru, March %, 1910.
Hon John A. Mead
Dear sir:
Yours of the 25th in reply TO my
communications of the 18th, 10Th,
22d, and the registered communica-
ton of the oath. in relation to the
filing by the several candidates for
the Governorship of a sworn state
ment of expenses incurred at hand,
You appear to refuse concurrence
upon the ground that the proposal
seems to countenance the unlimited
use of money provided that a state
ment was filed, and such notion
| is at variance with my ideas upon
the subject. You say
| beg leave to say that | thought
it was self evident that the whole
| object of the proposal was to curtail,
as far as possible, the use of money
which would not bear the light of
public inspection.
To meet your objections, | would
now propose that the several can
didates mutually establish a fund of
say one thousand dollars for the Of
fering of a reward of one hundred
dollars each to the first ten individ-
dals who shall furnish evidence of
the corrupt use of money in the COM
| ing campaign by any of the candi-
dates or their agents in the line of
| buying up editorials, sending out
agents for secret work, paying ex-
penses of delegates, pledging APP
pointments to office, and the like.
would suggest the Attorney Cen
eral of he State as the referee in the
matter This apparently, would meet
your objections and doubt not,
would be agreeable to the other can
didates, to whom / forward a copy
Of this communication, although they
T. light insist upon filing a statement
of their expenses in addition
AS to ''rehecting upon past candi-
dates and executives and the highest
office within the gift of the people.
l beg leave to say that the methods
used by some of the past candidates
and executives richly deserve re
Election" and that my main object
in entering the campaign is to use
my utmost endeavor to have this Of
flee considered by those striving for
1t "as the highest office within the
gift of the people, not subserviant
to the Vaccinations of a set of politi-
cal "heelers." In my mind it is an
office towards which the people, not
the candidate, should do the main part
OF the calling
remember we'll the remark made
to me by the then acting Governor OF
our State when driving with me over
a lone road in order to inspect pro-
posed site for a Swedish colony, "My
nomination did not cost me a post
age stamp | have revered that man
ever since, and the confidence of the
people was with him during his term
of office and afterwards placed him
in the United States Senate, where
he is today, the pride of the State and
a bulwork of the Nation.
