Parasols for a season or 30 content
md attended to their duty with much
Gngleness of purpose. But now that
We may think of something else be-
sides duty, they are unfurled under
this summers sun touched up with
pretty Embellishments as in time
epoe by. They take their cue from
hats to be worn with them, and pass 1t
On to bags, so that there are two
Piece and three-piece sets to match.
Considering the chic Of these matched
sets 1t Is very well worth while to
choose hats and bags and parasols
with reference to one another, instead
II quite independently.
Usually 1t Is the art Of the milliner
nat inspires the decoration Of parasol
Or bag that brings these feminine be-
longings into the class Of the hat
worn with them. An example Of this
appears in the dressy bat Of black
chantiiIy lace trimmed with ribbon and
flowers and the lace-draped parasol
shown at The left Of the picture above.
Here the parasol is covered with the
same silk as that which makes tho
foundation of the hat, bOrdered with
~ same ribbon as that In the band

he same nne black lace. There Is q
6esp fall Of lace about the edge Of tho

and checked silk make up the hat, beg
and parasol, whose story is FULLY told
by the photograph. Finally plain

BEGUN BY THE ABoRIeINEs
Use and Abuse OF Narcotics Cannot
With Justice Be Laid to the
White Race

The use of cocaine and tobacco a.
narcotics was begun by the aborigines
long before the new world was dis
covered by white men. Cocaine il q
derivative of cocoa. Natives mixed
1t with dried cocoa leaves. lime or 9TH
er alkalis, or shells ground fine. This
was chewed by the natives along the
west coast of South America. The
practice of mixing alkalls with narcot-
les was also practiced by tobacco
chewers in sections adjoining the
cocoa chewers" land. Then it sud
denly made its appearance on the Pa
cific coast Of North America. Just
how this happened is puzzling eth
biological problem, as the two coun-
tries are so widely separated.
Taking snuff was correlated with
the chewing habit. Smoking was the
most widely distributed method Of u.s.
ing tobacco. Three original ways
were localized with the elbow pipe
in the greater part of the United
States, Canada and the eastern part
Of South America; with the cigarette
In Mexico, Central America and the
western United States, and the cigar
in the West Indies and the greater
part of the Amazon countries.

NEEDY MADE HAPPY WITH
HOLIDAY CHEER
Bethany People Responsible for Album
dant Thanksgiving Donation. En-.
tertalnment and Social

Community Thanksgiving offerings
were received by the Bethany Bap-
tist people at Bethany Chapel, Mon
day evening for distribution among
the needy, of Skowhegan. The re-
sponse to requests for Thanksgiving
food or dainties was very liberal and
as the result of the generosity of To-
cal residents, 18 baskets of abun-
dant Thanksgiving dinners were sent
out. These baskets contained chick
ems, vegetables. etc, for nearly 80
people. Aside from the substantial
dinners boxes of Thanksgiving cheer
containing fruit, candies and nuts
were sent to shut-ins in the communi-
ty. The call this year for supplies
has been much smaller than usual
and indicates that in spite of the high
cost of living. the list of the actually
needy is less in proportion to previous
years.
While the donations were being re
ceived social and entertainment was
held in the Chapel, Bethany orchestra
furnished the music at intervals dur
ing the program while other num-
bers included a reading by Miss
Dorothy Laurentson Of East Corinth,
a teacher in the public schools here;
song by Dr. Maurice f. Lord. a
reading by Mrs. Violet V. Fogg; a
piano duet by Misses Virginia Ames
ard Helen Day and remarks by Rev.
George Merriam. The entertain
ment was given under the direction
of the Ella F. Mitchell Philathea Glass
and the refreshments of popcorn and
apples were served by the Brother
hood About 125 people attended this
pleasant charitable event which the
Bethany people so wisely conducted.
The donations included considerable
money while Holt & Hight very gem
erously contributed the potatoes

for tive days and as the first two cases
were net completed, adjournment was
had to December 3Oth at Augusta. The
Burgess case was settled between the
parties. The most important claim
presented before the referees was
that of raising of the Shawmut dam, a
matter of some seven feet, had de-
stroyed the convenience for swimming
and bathing opposite the Good Will
Homes and necessitated instruction in
the same to be given lower down the
river on land not belonging to Good
Will. The amount of damages lies
wholly within the judgment of the
referee and in the two cases remain
ing the only question to be determined
is the amount of damage. l.. L. Wal

three plaintiffs and Weeks & Weeks of

Neither Judge Cornish or Judge

prior to the hearing and both gentle'
men expressed themselves as sur
