"Quest For A Kiss"
For Benefit of
St. Marks Home

1.-THE Quest for a Kiss" is the name
Of the comedy which will be present
ed in moving pictures by Augusta
talent, the proceeds of the picture to
be for the benefit of st. Marks Home.
The beginning Of the moving picture
will be at Market Square Thursday
forenoon between 9 and $50 o'clock.
Director Stark says that the weather
will have a great deal to do with the
picture. Fair, clear weather is de-
sired and If that marks the day then
the fun for the day will be assured.
The scenes Of this comedy which the
members Of the cast will endeavor to
make a good one. will be laid in va
rious places about the city. showing
to a good advantage some Of the
beauty spots Of Names Capitol. The
principal thoroughfares, through the
fine residential section, the State
House, Ganeston park and the Angus
Ia House will be sonae Of the scenes
for the movie.
Something Of a historical nature
concerning st. Marks Home might be
Of interest just at this time. St.
Marks Home was q gift from Mr.. and
Mrs Allan .Lambard in 1871. 1t was
the old DR.. Smell place on Winthrop
street. In 1882 the Home was en-
larged to accommodate IL residents
Though under the care OF st. Marks
church. IT is not sectarian; women Of
all creeds are admitted SO that the
majority of residents are always
members of other faiths. The Home
is in charge of a board Of Is women
managers, members Of st. Marks
parish az provided for by the terms of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lombard's request.
The managers at the present time
are: Mrs. John Goodwin, president;
Mrs. E. c. sHeadee. vice president,
Mrs. William II. Reid. secretary; Mrs.
Charles Hichborn, treasurer; Mrs.
George Z. Macomber. Mrs. w. D.
Stinson. Mrs. w. H. Harris. Mrs. D.
w. Adams. Miss Mary Edwards, Mrs.
George E. Barnekov; Mrs. D. d. Sewall,
Mrs. Charles Kinsman. Mrs. A. II.
Sturtevant. Mrs. Cony Weston and
Mrs. J. H. Bridge.
The Home has small fund and the
residents pay small amount. The
income is not sufficient to support it.
If it was not for the generosity of a
few, good friends it would have been
necessary to close It long time ago
and that is what the managers are up
against now unless some further in
come can be provided. The Home has
done noble service for SO years. A
pound party is given every year in
April and that is the only time for
which gifts are asked.

tors will take care Of the present
needs of the company, the power
house has been constructed to &C
commodate four units with provision
for extending the house to take in a
fifth. It will thus be seen that the
immediate installation is 1880 H. p.
but that the ultimate installation
can be $1,000 H. p.
At the present rate of increase it
will probably not be long before the
fourth and even the fifth unit will be
needed.
Engineers Invent New Devices
Not only to plan and execute but
also to invent is the role of the mod
ern engineer. The Skowhegan sta
ton has given the engineers abund-
ant opportunity to use their invent
i've genius. >
Among the innovations has been
the installation of a remote control
switch board. Switches are located
in q room entirely separated from
the generator room but all are con-
trolled from the main switch board
in the generator room.
hc SSutIdlOI IOOIl 10 ClCdI GU Ny
this arrangement of everything ex-
cept the generators and switchboard.
Should any accident occur to an oil
switch the damage would be entirely
confined to the cell in which it hap
pened and no injury could be done
to the generator room by smoke from
burning oil.
The reinforced concrete head gates
are original with the Skowhegan en-
gineers. Instead of the unsightly
gears that usually operate such gates
an elevating crane will quietly as
sumo these duties.
A double-trol travelling crane
within the power house was first in
J stalled in the Skowhegan station and
by an ingenious arrangement re-
duction of fully 10 feet in the height
of the station was made.
Not only have permanent opera
ton problems been solved but daily
problems of construction have been
met and overcome with similar in
genuity and resourcefulness.
Now the station is done, the last
two units will soon be in place and

New Years
Ghost Party

-'llERE Is n pleasant old su
I'M perstitlon that jullity in q
81 house during the first week
E1VC of the New Year brings
- pleasure aud happiness To
that household during the
entire year. There are many interest
Ing ways Of entertaining New Years
PARTY, but the fayorite Of all Is the
masked dance or party, and the most
interesting way Of having this sort Of
entertainment is to give ghost party.
The Invitations read in this manner !:
our good old Father Time
Has promised to convene
The shades OF many notables
To meet you New Years cen.
Wen look for you, you know,
To help to make things go,
And incidentally to meet
Some ghosts you're sure to know.
There should be 20 or more guests,
and after the invitations have gone
out, the hostess has little private
chat with her guests over the tele-
phone. She requests them TO come
dressed to represent some famous per
son now dead. pantomime, words. ges-
lures and costume being used to carry
cut the impersonation.
Dressed in a misty black robe COW
cred with stars cut from gold paper.
the hostess will receive her guests in
q room draped all in white. Sheets or
cheesecloth can be uSea for this. No
word is spoken until a little red imp
distributes cards and pencils To the
assembled guests. Then each In turn
speaks some word or does some stunt
to suit his or her character. The
person guessing the greatest number
correctly receives pretty copy of the
book, Ghosts | Have Met"
Games, contests and dancing will
follow, and the supper or refresh
ment table will he filled with things
tempting enough To attract even the
most ghostly appetite. The table dec
orations should correspond with the
festivities Of the season. A New
Years pie made of crepe paper over a
deep pan is filed with dainty little
favors for the guests or cards upon
which some funny rhyme Is written
for each individual guest. Part Of the
entertainment for the evening may
be the telling Of fortunes, informing
each guest Of their fate for the com
ing year.
Whatever you do, don't let anyone
shatter your faith in New Years reso-
lutions. They are the best things ever
If you know how to handle them, and
the most discOuraging things If you
don't.
