Riverview Local Union.
Cont ributed. J

Riverview Local Union OF Christian En-
deavor met at Lamoine, Friday, Jan. 26.
The day was enjoyed by all, and those who
made no effort to be present lost that
much out OF Christian living.
Mount Desert Ferry society had the
largest number present. Revs. P. A. A.
Kiilam and w. II. Rice were the only pas
tors present, but everyone came to work,
SO the day was well used. The topic of
the afternoon, "Our Crisis" was taken up
by Bro. Rice in his helpful way, and
every body had something to say which
was helpful.
The solos by Mrs. Holt and Mr.. Killam
were greatly enjoyed. The committee of
ways and means suggested that we try to
revive our old societies, which have
dropped out. We need revival. We feel
that many pastors have lost their interest
in the work which should make the life OF
their churches, for the hope of the church
is in the coming generation. They should
feel that they have work to do while
they are young, and in what better way
can the good work go on than under
Father Clark's banner.
The evening address by Mr.. Killam was
eloquent and inspiring.
The next session will be held at Mount
Desert Ferry in April.

's..,;.I committee on street lights. Mayor
s,sna produced typewriter copies of a

The only material difference between

80 MAYOR was the insertion OF the words
s.sa by the mayor in putting the motion
- accept the minority report-"to estab-

The mayors contention is that this was

Idea for Storinq.

A clever idea for storing away hats,
furs, blouses, etc, was evolved by
woman who lived in tiny apartment.
She had a wide shelf erected across
one end of her bedroom, about foot
and half below the ceiling. Then she
bought SIX. or seven hat boxes and
covered them with wall paper in a
rose design that harmonized with the
rose color OF her room. These formed
4 kind of frieze across one wall. and
without detracting from the general
appearance made a little storeroom
easily accessible On the outside OF
her cupboard door was kept a list
showing just what was in box No. l,
box No. 2, etc.

The young man made movement
and the speaker stopped; caught sight

behind that other one-the fine, patr1-

started back.

TRIANGLE IS FASHION MOTIF
In Some Form, Almost Everything,
Useful or Decorative, Is in
Three-Sided Shape.

Tt seems to be an all prevailing no.
ton that all draperies and materials
should be coayed into something
which is three-sided. Have You OBJ.
served that everything in dress is
dominated by the triangle? One Of
the most fashionable forms Of the
tunic is shaped in this manner, the
apex placed at one side of the figure
and the sides draping up to the waist
on the other side.
One of the newest models for eve
ming bodices means a triangle of mate
rial draping one side of the front and
another triangle draping one side Of
the back, the two triangles equaling,
of course a square Of the material.
The favorite rabat is just triangle
of lace, and the corne hat is another
triangle.

Jewels of Today.

Jewels grow more beautiful each
succeeding season. This year one no
tees stones of various colors set so as
10 show tartan effects. These are
smart and up to date, and are fashion
ed into rings, brooches, bangles, etc,
the dark colored gems being relieved
by rims of brilliants.
Other novelties are charming ban
dcaux for hair and necklaces COM
bined. These consist Of small wreaths
and buckles of diamonds threaded on
to narrow velvet ribbon, which can
be used either in the form of collar
or else Worn as a jeweled band in the
hair. This new fashion is craze OF
today and has done much to GUST the
once popular tiara.

Some time later, in the fast-gather-
ing darkness, from the cove small
boat put out, with Sanchez, gloomy
and sullen, in the stern; at the bow,
the Governors daughter. AS the isle
receded and the point Of land lcomed
bigger before them, the girl gazed
straight ahead: but the man looked
back; to the sands OF the little cove, a
pale simitar in the dragon-like mouth
Of the rock; toward the tower, near
which he fancied he could see fig
ure, turned from them-seaward-
where, far out, a ship might just be
discerned, dim outline on the hcri-
