NORTH WALDO POMONA GRANGE,

A very interesting meeting of North
Waldo Pomona Grange was held with
South Branch Grange, Prospect, May
10th. The Grange was duly opened with
Worthy Master A. T. Nickerson presid-
ing. The secretary, treasurer and Flora
were absent and pro tenn appointments
were made. Six oranges were repre-
sented and reported in fairly good con-
dition. AS there was no degree work,
the officers and several members were
called upon for remarks for the good of
the order, and F. M. Nickerson, 0. B.
Dow, D. M. Kimball, W. j. Matthews
and Clara D. York responded. State
Master W. j. Thompson, who was the
guest of the day, spoke briefly at this
time.
Dinner was announced and recess de-
clared. When the patrons reached the
dining hall, they found the usual temp
ting repast awaiting them with ladies of
the host grange in attendance. After
the social hour the Grange was reassem-
bled in the fifth degree and F. l.. Ward,
Master of South Branch, extended words
of greeting and W. J. Matthews fitting
ly responded. A reading by Alice Hop
kins was followed by vocal solo by
Blanche Hartman, accompanied by Har-
riet Nickerson at the piano. A fine ad-
dress by W. J. Thompson. Master of the
State Grange, was pleasing feature of
the program. Mr.. Thompson spoke
along agricultural lines, dwelling at
some length on the Importance of exer-
cising great amount of common sense
while following the scientific methods
advocated today.
The question: Resolved, THAT the
the pleasures and profits of farm life are
greater than it's hardships and disap-
| pointments," Was read by the lecturer
| and j. W. Nickerson ably upheld the af-
firmative, while O. B. Dow pictured the
opposite side in deep shadows, consider
| ing the fact that he is rising young
farmer. They were followed by F. NJ.
Nckerson, A. A. CHM, D. Nj Kimball
and others. The balance of opinion was
| in favor of the farm, only two, in fact
expressing opposite views, A piano solo
by Harriet Nickerson completed the pro-
gram, and after the customary acknowl-
Judgements for courtesies the meeting

fully painted with wreaths of spring
HoWers-one sort on each piece-that
looked as if they were done OH the damask
cloth. The organdie was quite invisible
when placed over the linen cover.
Vogue of Spots
Spots are back in fashionable favor,
not only big polka dots, but all sorts of
odd oblong and diamond shapes, and since
these are very characteristic foulard
patterns, this old time silk is getting it's
innings once more. On the platform the
other afternoon, a well-known singer of
the Metropolitan Opera Company wore
foulard dress of bright, dark blue
darker than Kings blue-with an odd
oriental spot of green having white
design in it. This formed only the skirt
and high shaped girdle. The waist was
Of cream lace with an over blouse of
matching blue Georgette crepe delicately
embroidered in green crystal beads. A
black tricone hat completed simple but
most effective costume.
Leghorns and Vatican Plaques.
Leghorn hats in natural tint have been
worn by bridesmaids at most of the
spring weddings, though at one very
smart function the hats were of white
horsehair and the brides veil topped with
crown of white wheat ears in place of
the usual orange blossoms, while in place
of bouquet she carried an armful of
white lilacs and pink moss roses.
Vatican plaques that perch becoming
ly on the present shapely couture are in
creasingly favored for function wear,
and according to their coloring and ma
terials can be quite suitably worn by the
girl or her grandmother. The streamer
at the back, usually part of the trim
ming of these little shapes, can be fetch
ingly adjusted to set off pretty neck or
conceal lines on one that needs first aid,
without too apparent intention.
The tulle scarfs so generally worn
have the same possibilities, especially
when adjusted ''harem" fashion-twice
round with the ends at either side.

In this connection, We are reminded
