STATE HIGHWAY.

State Highway Commission Desig-
mates Two Routes in this County.
The State highway commission has
solved the difficulty Of designating the
route for the State highway in Hancock
county by laying out two routes the
direct route from Bangor to Ellsworth,
and an additional highway by way Of
Brewer, Orrington Bucksport, Orland,
Penobscot, Bluehill and Surry to Els
worth.
This solution OF the problem is contained
in letter to Representative Ward W.
Wescott, OF Bluehill, from the chairman
of the State highway commission, which
follows:
PORTLAND, Me-, April 9, 1915.
Hon. Ward W. Wescott,
BltehitI, Me.
Dear Mr.. wescott: am sure you will be
interested to know that the State highway
commission at its regular meeting yesterday
voted to lay out . new and additional State
highway in Penobscot and Hancock counties
as follows: Commencing at Bangor, proceed.
ing via Brewer, Orrington, Bucksport, orland
Penobscot, Bluehill and surry to Ellsworth.
think you will recall my statement to you
that thought the only proper solution Of
this very difficult problem in your county
would be the final designation Of both routes
from Bangor to Ellsworth, and this view il
now ofacialiy taken by the commission, ths
former route, State highwaysM, from Bangor
to Ellsworth and Bar Harbor direct, via

The Habit Of Letter Writing.

Don't - into the habit Of sayine
that you hate to write letters. Many q
friendship has been broken by neglect
ing to answer letters.
Letter writing Is decidedly not forte
with some women-they think IL q
bore. and keep their correspondence as
far as possible within the very mar
rowest limits. Others don't trouble
even to answer letters when they get
them.
oh, you know I'm a wretched corre-
spondent." they will say in excuse.
The woman who can talk on paper
to the person to whom she Is writing,
almost In the same way and with the
same nuency as she would talk to her
were they together In the same room,
Is by far the most successful letter
writer.
A good correspondent nearly always
writes as she speaks.
II Is one Of the unwritten laws of
etiquette not TO begin a letter with
the pronoun a.
This Is always a point which should
be remembered in letter writing.
II 10 always a wise plan to answer
letters within q few days. In this way
there Is no danger of your laying them
aside and forgetting them. This Is
especially important where invitations
are concerned.-Camden Daily Courier.

PARAS0LS OF 1920 ARE TO BE
USED AGAIN THIS SPRING

The quaint styles OF parasols used from
1870 TO 1880 have again appeared. Shir-
rings. puffings. pipinss cordinss, and
knife-pleatings are used in a variety Of
ways, TO emphasize ribs. to outline cores
and TO form borders. Many odd shap
and rich color combinations are seen.
Plain servere styles. the most prominent
being the sand tones. are seen only with
tailored dresses. There is tendency
to combine materials. In dressy, fancy
models. the sand tones are combined with
bright colors. for instance. in one model
OF brilliant red there is a border and a
piping between the shirred cores in
rich sand color versins on gold
A smart parasol developed in con-
trasuaS colors has 4 row OF shirring be-
tween the cores. producing a leafike

Many striking shades are seen Among
these Is one with wide cores OF richly

The Charitable Work Aoron,

Every housekeeper should have q
good supply OF work aprons. OF as
many different kinds as she wishes 10
have. OF course. but enough to keep
her clothes always spotlese
There 10 no reason in the world why
one should wear an ugly checked
Bingham apron in work hours. To be
sure these pepper-snd-salt mixtures
show soil less quickly than an apron
of white muslin or even figured per-
Gale, But IL 10 little trouble to wash
and iron a work apron and it is. to
some women. far easier than TO wear
a becoming apron.
Then, too. the Bingham apron need
not be unbecoming IL can be made IN
any desired fashion. with neat belt
that buttons at the back or sash ends
that tie. . rune around the bottom
and embroidery edged bands over the
shoulders IL one wish them.
But whatever the apron material
may be for the real work aprons they
should be highly practical. and they
should be big enough to cover the
frock completely.
One good pattern Is that OF the ar
lists apron-with long. rather full
sleeves gathered into wristba nd
that buttons. and with a full, loose
apron section gathered into a neck
band. high or low. This cut has the
advantage Of completely covering the
frock beneath.
Then there is the apron with the
full skirt that buttons in back. with
two straps over the shoulder support
ing a bib in front
There is too, the Bingham or per-
Gale apron that looks far more like a
simple morning frock than an apron
one that buttons from neck TO hem
in the back and Is fitted with a neat
belt and elbow sleeves.
These huge aprons are the sort to
wear for work that might easily soil
the clothes. They should be matched
with caps. which keep odors OF cook
ing, as wen as dust from the hair. A
rune about the bottom Of the apron
skirt serves to catch anything that
is spilled and SO save the frock be-
meath from spots.
For lighter work. a small and far
moro attractive apron may be donned

March l8-Asla Held, Harriet
Smifhson.

Today IL the birthday OF Anna Held.
the distinguished American actress.
Another interesting woman Of the
stage was born lis years ago today.
This was Harriet Constance Smithson.
a native of Glare. At the age of she
was adopted by clergyman who
brought her up TO the age of :. when
he died and Harriet was forced to 60
back TO her father. who was q rather
good for nothing sort Of actor. His
health failed and Harriet was forced
to turn reluctantly to the stage for a
living.
She scored a success in Ireland and
billed as Miss Smithson from Dublin"
Her first English criticisms were not
entirely favorable. 'She is tall and
well formed, and possesses a handsome
countenance." said one. Her voice is
distinct rather than powerful. She
acts with spirit. overacting a little in
the broadly comic scenes and sings
with more humor than sweetness"
Later another critic speaks OF her
and thrilling tones which give an ir-
resistable charm to tho expressions Of
grief and tenderness"
But in England Smithson was al
ways handicapped because of her de-
cidcdly Irish way of speaking. She
was said to be woman not only of
talent but of genius. She was said to
be altogether lovely and altogether a
lady in private life" But all this did
not counteract this Irish Sbrogue of
hers. 1t was in Paris that she met
with the greatest triumph. for there
no one could tell an Irish accent from
tho most acceptable London intona-
ton. Paris was just undergoing q
great vogue for Shakespeare and Miss
Smithson reaped the benefit Of this to
the full. For weeks she was the SEN
sation of the city. The Parisians
fairl. worshiped her. Among her
many admirers IL 'hat city was the
musical compos"'. Hector Berlioz, who
went into raNru.es over his belle
Smidson." But the beautiful Irish
woman refused all suitors so long as
fortune. smiled upon her. Then, when
the enthusiasm of the tickle Parisians
waned. and her fund. ran out she had
the misfortune TO break her leg aliSht-
ing from her carriage. In this mis-
fortune Berlioz proposed to her again
and she accepted. The marriage proved
to be unfortunate and at 40 they were
separated. BerlioZ chose another
partner. but continued TO support her
for many years. q !
