CHANGE OF SCHEDULES OF CLERKS AND
CARRIERS OF CITY DELIVERY AT Posi- OFFICE:
Congress made the following provisions when
passing the appropriation bill for the postal
service for the year ending June 80, 1913:

ter carriers in the City Delivery Service and
Clerks in the first and second class post offices
shall be required to work not more than eight
hours a day: Provided, That the eight hours of
ek1ll
than ten consecutive hours and the schedules
of duty of the employees shall be regulated
accordingly
The post Office at Belfast. Maine, is a second
class office and complying with the above it
becomes necessary to arrange the 'sched dulles
of duty outlined below to begin Saturday
March LIST next:
Assistant Postmaster, 9 90 to l 90, 70 to
7 90 p. m.

The above schedule has been arranged as
far as possible to conform with the present
scheduie ana render to the patrons of the
office the same service as formerly. In order
to do this it becomes necessary to have the
early morning collection done by an extra
man, for which the department has made tenn
porary provision to allow fair test of this
plan With this arrangement it may be i'm
possible to collect the boxes in the outlying
districts more than once day especially in
very stormy weather when the streets are
dritted. All boxes will be collected at least
once day and those near the office at about
the same time as formerly.

The OLD TABLECLOTH

Ribs made from old tablecioths
are used most acceptably in one
house where there are three little
ones. AS soon as the cloth becomes
at all tn it is split lengthwise
through the middle and after folding
the long raw edge even g" tn the
selyeage six or seven bibs may be
cut from each ng folded strip.
Stitch each bib on three sides, leave
ing the bottom open. Turn it Inside
out and then stitch or blind stitch
neatly across the lower edge. Cut
white tape into twelve-inch lengths
and attach two strings to each bib
at the top near the neck. Tn is
most economical use for old table
cloths, as from cl tn two by two
and half yards one can make Twelve
or fourteen bibs, which will launder
well, and. as they are OF double
thickness. will completely protect
the child's dress.

CHILDREN AFFAIR

A very clever and interesting man
aer in which TO entertain children
at a child's party is TO have doll
hunt. Little girls never have enough
iol! es and no better plan could
be found than TO send them on a
hunt at the end of which little
doll he reward. This hunt is on
the same order as a cobNeb game
Each little g5rl is given the end of
a colored cord. which is wound in
and out over as much o. the house
rs the hostess sees fl. At the end
of each string is girls name. mean
ing the name of the dolly
All of the strings are gathered II
the parlor, from which point the
hunt starts, and each little girl finds
a pretty. though not expensive doll
waiting for her. The string leads
into the dining room, where a
clothes line is stretched. and on II
are pinned the clothes belonging
to the various dis. Each little
dress is labelled. While the good
time Is going on in the dining
room, where the doilies are dressed,
refreshments are served.
