have from you an exact statement OF
the affair. AS you had so many such
adventures. will indicate the particu-
lar one TO which I refer. The incident
was so extraordinary. and exhibited
such self-possession and unialtering
will that can only account for your
omitting it by your reluctance to claim
the credit which is due you. This

Do you know that Vermont has a
wonderful future as a summer-resort

so many western millionaires are turn
ing their eyes toward Vermont as an
ideal place for luxurious landed estates?

article entitled 1.-The Lure of New
England" appearing in the first num-
Der of the New England Resorter, the
bright, new monthly magazine about
New England's pleasure resorts, which
is out for the first time this week.
THE Lure of New England begins
with the story of Green Mountain boy
who went west, years ago, as pioneer.
His grandson comics back forty years
later to find the old farm in Vermont
abandoned and going to ruin. The
grandson is fascinated by Vermont's
beautiful country. settles down on the
old farm and changes it from a worn

National Textile Exhibition.

The rhythmic clack of the shuttle, the
whir of the loom; the smell of the we'll
oiled machinery; and the silent but ever
watchful operator of the great textile
producers of the busy mill communities
have all been transplanted in perfect
detail to the Third National Textile ex-
hibition which opened Monday, April
%, in Mechanics building, Boston. One
has but to step within the radius of this
activity to imagine that he is on tour
of inspection of one of New England s
greatest industrial centres.
The attendance was very large Mon
day, the opening day, and it is esti-
mated that 5000 persons visited the ex-
hibition during the day and night.
Those that did attend certainly found
much to interest them, for it is possible
to watch the forming of the fabric from
one stage of development to the next
and to watch the operation of machinery
which regulates the atmospheric con-
ditions to suit them to the various
processes of manufacture. Carding
spinning, and weaving are some of the
conspicuous processes, and there are
drying machines and conditioning
machines, which because of their size
and complexity are attracting much at
tention.
