The Sacrament OF the Lords Sup
per was celebrated Ut the Church last

Austin Aldrich and Emma Irene Aid
rich, his wife,
William Marley, who has been
clerking the past winter in the St
Charles Hotel in New Orleans, La,
was at home for a few days last week
visiting his family. viii is again in
Manchester and will be found at the
Equinox House ready to do what he
can for the comfort of its guests. An
other Dorset boy making good
Speaking Of Dorset boys making
good, South Dorset has also had d
few who are working along those
lines, and two or three we know Of
are decidedly prominent in their pre-
sent homes. Why would it not be a
good idea for Isl Clone" to write up
a few Of them? He has known them
from boyhood and is well qualified to
do the trick.
As usual the women are ahead
Another instance. Mrs. Clifton p.
Kent has mastered the handling Of the
auto ahead of her husband. Sunday
Mrs. Kent drove the Kent car through
the village with as much assurance as
if she had never done anything else.
As yet we have not seen Clifton at the
wheel. We suppose he feels safer
with his wife at the helm knowing her
in all things.

Carrie Holley of North Main St., on
Thursday evening, TO few of the per-
manent residents. One Of the features
Of the occasion we're the place cards
painted by the hostess and accompan-

If the matter in hand, and all who |
rear him will understand and be in

The auto season has arrived and
will continue till the snow flies. We
inow that Dorset will have at least
- machines this summer and probab-
y 80. Would il not be good plan
or the local authorities to see that
he auto laws were carried out? Such
is the blowing of horns when going
round corners, the lighting Of lamps
Il the proper time, and last, but not |
# the least Importance, the proper
equation of speed in and around the
-ilage. Dorset has two very danger

o occur soon If more care is not taken
