felt the need Of just this kind of book.
Strange to say 1t Is the only one in its
field. No one has ever before made a
collection of Christmas stories for chill
dren. When the fires are lit on chill De-
cember evenings and the youngsters beg
for stories, what more pleasant than to
have collection of the greatest of Yule-
tide tales ready to the hand? A. D. Dick
inson and A. M. Skinner. knowing from
their experience as librarians and teachers
the demand for such a book, have COM

Chebeague the first time she ever
came here, which was about FIVE years

There is a cottage hidden away in
the woods on the post office road
which perhaps many people have
caught a glimpse of and wondered to
whom 1t belonged. 1t belongs to Mrs.
Charles II. Buchanan of Boston and is
so attractive that many visitors are
drawn to 1t. Among those who have
visited 1t already are: Mr.. Charles
Leo Bucknam, Mrs. Bucknam's SON.,
and Miss n. H. Hopkins, of Boston.
Mr.. Bucknam and Miss Hopkins are

charmed by the location and the inte-
rior also of this attractive little cot

The old guides and frequent climb
ers of Mt. Washington, in New Hamp-
shire, were recently astounded by the
sight of party of four girls gayly
climbing the northern peaks. They
were absolutely unattended, each girl
carrying bag weighing thirty pounds
filled with provisions, blankets, etc.
The girls did their own cooking, even
to chopping the wood, for a Ratchet
was carried in one bag especially for
that purpose. These young girls also
slept out of doors on the mountains
at night, rolled up in their oilskin
sleeping bags and blankets. The
members of this unique and venture

Theresa Howell of Baltimore, Miss
Betty Edmonds of Boston and Miss
Jessie Ridge of Portland. They left
Chebeague Monday, July 81, and arriv-
ed back the first of this week. They
stopped at numerous camps on the
way, where they were entertained
most cordially.

residents of Chebeague hear her sing.
DR.. and Mrs. Tonks of Poughkeepsie,
N. y, who have built an attractive
cottage-bungalow on the eastern end

 IL has been well narrated that Bob Roberts, recently held for larceny in connection with the Point Ward robbery case, was once piloting a small steamer in nearby waters.

Dwarf fruit trees will yield in two

for quick results. Ordinary apple trees

may stand as close together as eight

which are dwarfed: the fruit is as large
as that produced by standard trees and
even finer In quality. Commercial or
chards of dwarf trees have not been
found profitable, but ii Is an excellent
practice to grow these trees between
standard sorts when new orchard is
set out, removing them when the larger
trees demand the additional ground. In
that way the orchard Is made to show

beginning with the first year.
They are hardy and easily cared for,
and the fact that they are not pro-
ductve for as many years as the stand
ard sorts is atoned for by the early
bearing.
Strange as it may seem. it is possible
to grow apples and pears where there
does not appear to be room for even me
most lilliputian of trees. The feat is ac-
complished by training them on walls or
buildings. This is a regular custom in
Europe, as all travellers know, and
trained trees are now to be found on
many estates on this side of the water
They occupy practically no room that is
needed or could be used for other pur-
poses. except possibly for growing grapes
or climbing flowers, and they produce
crops of the very best fruit, large as to
size and fine as to quality.
These trained trees may be grown in
several distinct forms. which have been
worked out with skill by foreign gar
deners. Those most often seen are known
as Gordon and espaiier. The former calls
for a single stem. which may be trained
in any direction. but commonly is fasten-
ed TO a wire. Trees in espalier form have
branching stems. usually trained in both
directions and making a very interesting
and attractive appearance when in full
leaf and hanging with fruit.
Some work is required, OF course, in
trees do not assume them naturally
They must be carefully trained and held
in place by strings until the bark has
hardened sufficiently to hold them in
the position assigned to them. When
there are only a few trees however, but
little time is needed in order to keep
them growing in the right direction and
undesired branches cut out. The plan is
a perfectly feasible one TO adopt in any
suburban garden. Yet for practical pur-
poses the bush or globular form Is to he
