past few weeks of Mr. and Mrs.
George w. Kimball She will return
soon to her home in Florida. Mrs.
Tarleton was much pleased with the
rough, rocky scenery Of Casco Bay, be-
cause it was such a relief from the
barren fiat stretches of sand on the
Florida coast. She says, however, that
! they very seldom have rain and never
have fog down there.

people are invited to attend this
charming social affair.
| On Wednesday, August the ninth,
the annual sale of the Cliff Island Lii
brary club takes place. This sale is an
annual affair, which has for it's pur-
pose the improvement of the island.
The proceeds all go toward the library
fund for establishing a fitting club
house and surrounding grounds, in
Guiding tennis court. The summer
people of the island are requested to
donate various articles or to make
some little thing which can be sold.
These donations will be received by
the Misses Bennett, who are among
those in charge of the affair. The sale
can be total failure or great sue
cess, and 1t certainly is to be hoped
the island people will make it most
profitable affair, both in the amount
of money taken in and in the amount
of pleasure they themselves will get.
