LIBRARY NOTES

This is the second and last week of
the Pilgrim exhibit at the library.
| Several things have been added to the
Colonial Room during the week. Mr..
F. ]. Wood brought in a candle mold
half filled with candles in the making.
Older people look and say, eyes, that
lis just the way we used to make them,"
and the children never tire of looking
at it. Mr.. Charles, Weber brought
in several things. The most curious
and interesting is an old chain brot
| from Ireland. 1t is hand carved, the
work of Irish monks. On the beads
are exquisite carvings Of old Irish
castles, the Irish thistle, rose, and
shamrock. Mr.. Weber also loaned
pulleys, a shell, and whales tooth
brought from Plymouth. The beauti-
full old quilt made by Mrs. Sarah
Phillips of Plymouth is we'll worth ex-
aiming. There are about as many
and various kinds of stitches in that
as in the lovely old sampler.
Among the books is an old Bible,
dated 1876, loaned by Father Rock
stroh. It is Is inches by 71a inches by
IL inches and not all of you could lift
it. The many illustrations, large clear
print, and queer old binding are very
attractive. The book, cart of Speak
ing" was loaned by Mrs. F. H. Jack
son, not Mrs. B. L Brown as was stat
ed in last weeks paper
The candle shutters loaned by Mrs.
Rockstroh make one eager to have the
candles burn down to the stage where
they need snuffing so as to have an OPP
portunity to use them.
And do not forget aye Pilgrim Box
Shelf" where the story of the Pill
grims is told in history and romance.
Here is fiction that gives the atmos-
phere of those early times such as a
history never could; books of travel
that lead you to the places where the
Pilgrims labored and fought; books
about the Pilgrim mothers as we'll as
the Pilgrim fathers; books dealing
with every phase of Pilgrim life Some
of these books have been borrowed.
Come in and look them over before
it becomes necessary to return them.
