The Dorset Library Association has
taken title to the piece Of property on
Church street and the necessary re-
pairs will be commenced this morning
under the supervision of A. A, Norton
Of Poultney who has taken charge of
the work As these repairs will cost
a little more than at first thought it
will be necessary to yaise about two
hundred dollars more to complete the
work and not have any bills owing
when the library is moved into its new
quarters. Why not make this a popu-
lar subscription ana every one in town
give something? Twenty-Five cents
and upwards will be gladly received
and if everyone in and around Dorset
will give what they feel they can
afford the necessary two hundred dol
lars will soon be raised. S. Frank
Holley of North Main street, is the
man to hand your subscription to. DO
! NOT DELAY THIS GOOD ACT;
| BUT DO IT WHEN THE IMPULSE
is STRONG.
A gala event Of the season was the
large lawn party and dance given
Friday evening by Mrs. H. 7. Nc
Tighe and Mrs Berniss B. Sheldon, at
the residence of their parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Serene S. Pratt, in honor of their
four house guests. The interest of the
occasion was heightened by the at
tractive decorations. Hundreds Of
lighted japanese lanterns were hung
upon wires extending along the porch
es Of the two houses and between the
trees. A unique feature that was a
center of interest during the evening
was moss and ivy covered copy of
an old fashioned we'll located under a
tree. In this the punch was served.
Other refreshments were provided in
one of the rooms of the larger house,
The dancing was carried on in the hall
and library, and on the ample porches,
and card tables were placed in the
living room of the cottage for those
who did not care to dance. The even
ing was one of great enjoyment for
the 125 Of Dorset's younger set who
fattended.
