Massachusetts, and Connecticut
Gave a few trunk lines better than
Tany in Vermont but their side roads
and rural highways are much worse
than ours. New York has few
splendid roads, a few that were
splendid but have gone to ruin, and
an overwhelming majority that are
worse than those of any other north
ern state. Vermont has no perfect
road other than two or three samp
les, but the state average is not ex.
celled in the northeastern part of the
United States.

SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1872:
VERMONT HIGHWAYS

Two thousand miles by automobile
over Vermont roads in twelve of the
fourteen counties gives a fairer idea
of conditions than more mileage made
in smaller area.

Query: II, after six years of road
administration by Stoddard b. Bates,
during which time il was impossible
to secure an adequate number OF
workers at any price that could be
paid. the Vermont roads are very
materially better than they ever were
before, wouldn't it have been better
to nave kept him in Office than "a
have appointed another? Seriously,
when man has done wonderfully
well under trying conditions, isn't he
fairly entitled to show what he car
do under improved conditions?

AS a whole, Vermont roads are
good, averaging far better than any
of the other New England states or
the state of New York, which is as
far as the writer's experience goes.

This excellence OF Vermont roads
is, however. confined to fair weather
in summer. In this respect they are
not different from Dirt roads in
other states. Heavy traffic in wet
weather needs hard surface roads
but it will be a long time before any
state can provide all hard surface
highways. In the meantime the
loading of trucks on soft roads ought
to be limited by some effective au
thority.

heard in all my life," murmured the
little girl with the bobbed hair and
the appealing eyes. Ben, who prided
himself upon guessing woman's age
nine times out of ten, decided that she
must be around eighteen. Dorothy
had just passed her twenty first birth
day, but how is one to tell nowadays
with fappers using the professional
lip-stick and movie ladies wearing
long curls?
sT guess you've never heard many
good papers them" he answered mod
estly. He liked little Dorothy Kahn,
he told himself after an appraising
glance. In this serious assembly OF
niddle-aged Sabbath School teachers
and rabbis come to Columbus for the
annual Chautauqua, she made posi-
tive note of relief with her fluffy dress
es, her naive comments, her appealing
WAYS. Ben decided it was well worth
cutting a meeting of the executive
board to linger in the hotel lobby
with the innocent child and hear her
gush about his paper on Discipline
in the Class Room"
"No. haven't attended single
Chautauoua in my whole life," she
confessed. "And I never went to
Sabbath School either. We never had
one in Painsville till wrote to Gin
cinnati for the leaflets and pictures
and started one myself. Mamma
doesn't see why I'm so interested in
such things-I guess I'm just natur-
ally religious"
"I suppose when women get their
rights and we have lady rabbis, you'll
enter the pulpit" commented the
bachelor rabbi teasingly.
"No-o," he found her hesitation de-
lightfuI, cpl never know half enough
for that. But one could be awfully
religious and do lot Of good as
rabbits wife, couldn't she ?"
"Sure!" Ben spoke heartily enough,
but he didn't like the turn the CONVEX
sation was taking. Maybe it would
have been better to have gone to the
meeting of the executive board after
all. & W.. *,%
"Mamma's awfully worried about

one reason I didn't marry Jack when
he asked me-" Her eyes dropped to
her lap in pretty confusion. II don't
know why I'm talking to you like this"
she confessed, "but it's always easier
talking to rabbi. They-they just
seem to know how to advise you. We
haven't any rabbi at home, you know,
and mammals as dear as she can be,
but she doesn't understand how
young girl feels about things-the
way you would"
II think do understand. Tell me
about Jack" commanded the bachelor
rabbi. To himself he muttered the
tardy warning: "A dangerous sign
when they tell you about their love

she went on, surveying her ringless
little hands. GA lovely solitaire

have broken mammals heart to have

but I never thought you'd take it SO
seriously. I'm terribly sorry"
"What--whatever are you talking
about?" gasping.
"I'm not serious-Tm not sincere
I'm not religious. And I never in
tended to be. I just came to this
Chautauqua to have nice trip and
meet some nice people, especially nice
Jewish young men. l never got lntl-
mate with young rabbi before and
I didn't know how to talk to you-so
I just talked about religion and books
and things like that. I wanted to
keep you away from the other girls
at first cause you were SO awfully
attractive and afterwards"
"Afterwards 2" he encouraged her.
"That's none of your business" she
flashed back at him. "Now please
take me right back, cause want to
do the rest Of my packing tonight.
I'm going home on the early train in
the morning."
II think I'll go as far as Louisville
with you," suggested Ben with his
usual caution. "The more I see of
YOU the better I like you, but I. want
to be sure before go any further.
AS you say, I'm awfully attractive to
women. All rabbis are and I'm more
so. It's my fatal beauty, I'm afraid"

pealing eyes were suspiciously moist.

"Don't you worry-the right man
hasn't come around yet" he tried to
cheer her. "a girl with such domestic
tastes is just the kind to make man
happy" his eye wandering longingly
to the door. He wasn't interested in
committee reports, but his bachelor
instinct told him this sort Of talk was
neither wise nor profitable.
Now she was playing with the Sec

did it so prettily. Besides one could
plainly see that the little thing was

you'll find him." encouraged Ben.
He rose reluctantly, his duty as well
as tardy sense of caution urging him
to break away. "I'm sorry-but I've
got to go to my committee meeting to
deliver my own report. You'll excuse
me, won't you?"

you when we were just getting ac-

"They've got us all billed for

told her recklessly, "but we can run
off for boatride or something. And
talk all we want. Would you like
it,"
"I'd love it," She rose to brush
bit of dust from his coat lapel. "Bad
boy" she scolded, "don't you know

he'd just come out Of a bandbox?
You need wife to take care Of you."
"Maybe I dol" and half-frightened,
half-elated at the discovery, the bache-
lor rabbi fastened to his meeting,
leaving an innocent-eyed little girl to
the beguilements Of box of cara
mels and a volume Of Breezy
Stories.'' She read industriously and
was able to turn the magazine over
to the appreciative chamber-maid by
supper time. When Ben stumbled
over her in the lobby before entering
the dining room, she was completely
lost in Husik's Medieval Jewish
