ANOTHER IN HER PLACE.
They say if our beloved dead

They say if our beloved dead
Should seek the old familiar place,
Some stranger would be there instead
And they should find no welcoming face.
Believe them not. All, those wfo say
Our best beloved would find no place
Have never hungered every day
Through years and years for enc dear
face.
They laugh at war who never felt a
sWordthrust. They sheer at the fool
ishness of being jealous who never felt
it's pangs. In the case of lovers who
have disagreed, or, perhaps, have had
downright quarrel and parted, the
girl, at least, wonders, anxiously, if he
makes no attempt to be reinstated in
her favor, whether or not he has put
another in her place.
It is one of the hardest ordeals a
girl can face to find her surmise is
true. She worries secretly over the
thought whether she should go among
the friends they were wont to visit
together or remain away, escaping the
embarrassment of meeting him with
new sweetheart. Her friends cOun-
RCA
Nine girls out of ten are too honest
to resort to this, believing it to be dis
honorable to encourage a mans suit
when neither her heart nor her wishes
respond.
While a lover is true to her, hope
bridges the dark current of fear, but
the knowledge beyond all doubling
that another has filled her place is a
woe that strikes deep into the heart.
The girl is indeed a heroine in real life
who can school herself to meet for
mer lover face to face, hold out her
hand in greeting and smile that he
may think she does not care. When
it comes down to cold, hard facts she
should not care, realizing that heart
that could be shifted from one woman
to another as easily is not worth
grieving over, not worth tear.
No man of principle would subject
a former sweetheart to such embar-
rassment if it were possible to avoid
it. The girl who has supplanted her
should not feel overtriumphant She
should realize there is a world of truth
in the old saw, that "He who can break
troth with one girl without even a
heart throb of regret can always break
with another and yet another"
There is another class of men-and
noble are they-who love once and
forever They wed the sweetheart to
whom they have given all the affec-
tion of their hearts and if she is taken
in the place made sacred by her. They
revere womankind for her sake, but
their hallowed memories of the bliss
full hours that are no more are dearer
than any living presence could be-.
Whether or not a lonely future is
wisest and best is for them to de-
termine. There are hearts which
blossom but once and only once. The
fear Of many a good and loving wife
is that were she to pass away another
would in time fill her place in her hus-
| bands heart and home, aye in the af-
| fections of her children.
| Such fear should never be allowed
| to darken the sunshine of a happily
welded woman's life. That which we
dread most never happens One bride
to whom this Thought was a terrify-
| ing bugaboo wearied of her unloving
spouse with the waning of the honey
moon, later divorcing him. A year
later she had put another in his place.

Velvet Ribbon.

Velvet ribbon, which has not been
used to any extent on dresses for some
years past, IS evidently coming into its
own again. One of the newest models
Is an afternoon frock of taffeta
trimmed with vertical bands of narrow
velvet ribbon, placed both on bodice
and skirt in graduated lengths. The
skirt was very full and hung in four
deep pcints, the velvet ribbon being
zig-zagged accordingly. The waist,

SINGLE 5LESSEDNESS.

I never wrote for money, l have no wish
for fame,
But the thought it was my duty stirred
my heart to flame.
I've longed to put my dreams in songs,
like the wild bird on the bough,
Just as I felt the soulful song ana nature
taught me how.
The free bird sings where none can hear
but the silent signing trees,
Where it can never touch the ear, but
dies upon the breeze.

Page-Fletcher-Gates.

They are off and it promises to be a
pretty race. Monday Governor Charles
W. Gates announced his candidacy for
election to the United States Senate The
announced candidates are Carroll S. Page,
Allen NJ. Fletcher and Charles w. Gates.
There may be other candidates, but Gov
ernor Gates probably completes the list.
Governor Gates sent his announcement
for publication in the only daily paper
in Franklin county, the st. Adams Mes
senger, and The Messenger, which had
not previously said a word about the
senatorship, took occasion on the very
day it published the announcement to
urge editorially that Senator Page ought
to be returned. The Swanton Courier
has already declared its faith in Senator
Page. The other papers in Franklin
county are published at Enosburg Falls
and Richford. These may support the
governor, but the ,aact remains that
newspaper support in Franklin county is
badly split.
Lamoille county, the home of Senator
Page, has two newspapers, one published
by the senator's brotherin law, and both
are solid for Page.
windsor county, the nome or Governor
Fletcher, has papers at Woodstock,
White River, Windsor, Springfield and
Ludlow with editions of the Randolph
paper circulated in Bethel and Royalton.
The Randolph paper and its editions
may be for Gates, White River and
Windsor for Fletcher, Springfield for
Page and the Woodstock paper never
publishes an editorial, so its attitude
will be difficult to determine. Ludlow
is red hot for Fletcher. The papers in
Fletcher's county are as badly divided
as those in Gates county.
Governor Gates will be a real factor in
the campaign. If there are any who
think he won't be, let them watch his !
smoke. He is not brilliant statesman,
but is typical old-fashioned Vermonter
with a good many modern ideas. He is
he type of man that thousands of Yer
nonters admire and no doubt will vote
or. His strength will cut into Senator
Pages following sadly.-Bellows Falls

TURN ON THE "GLIM."

Righteous condemnation of unthinking
automobile owners who abuse the use of
the powerful headlights at night is not
confined to pedestrians and people who
adhere to the old ia shioned horse as a
means of travel Motorists, themselves,
leastwise those who remember that their
rights take no precedent over the rights
of others, are equally outspoken in their
criticism. Here in Barre the projection
of strong headlights is continued on the
city streets after the undulating ribbon
Naturally the effect is one to bewilder
pedestrians and complicate traffic in gen
eral.
Beyond doubt there are drivers who
are aware that the proper function Of
the high power head lamp is exercised
most of the time in the open country.
But riding behind a long vista of lighted
street seems to generate sort of exulta
ton in some motorists even though the
nowhere seem to call for the use of the
brightest light. For all practical pur-
poses the ordinary "glimmer' seems to
suffice for travel wherever there are in
tersecting streets, and cross streets oc-
cur in almost all communities Of any
size. At night the useless projection of
headlights is almost as much Of a nuis-
ance as the continued use OF the cut |
out, albeit the potential danger of one
nuisance is much greater than the an
noyanee caused by the rsucous cut out.
Barre has an ordinance section forbid |
ding the use of the cut-out, but il has
never been enforced very effectively.
Municipal legislation for the restricted
use Of the high power headlight is far
more important and sentiment for the
enforcement Of restraining regulations
would be much stronger than in the case
Of the cut-Out prescription. :

CURRENT COMMENT

In his political advertising this week
Senator Page touches upon the value to
state of retaining its representatives in
Congress for long periods. Here is the
senator's strongest argument for re-elec-
ton. He cannot point to brilliant rec
ord OF achievements. He has been con
scientious and faithful and thorough 60
ing. If senator must hang around the
Senate chamber eight years before he
can secure recognition that amounts to
much, the senator has a good argument
However, we have a suspicion that the
degree of recognition secured prior TO
the eight year limit depends a bit on
the ambition and caliber of the senator.
Page probably makes no claim of being
a Wendell Phillips or Daniel Webster,
and, after all, the question for Vermont
to consider is whether the senator's RI
walls are his superiors in senatorial quail
fcations and whether they are superior
enough to outweigh the handicap the
senator's eight years of service places
upon them-Bellows Falls Times.
