II last weeks Democrat there ap-
psared a paragraph relative TO the win
ming Of Boston Post sd con, est by Mrs.
Howard l.. Alden, daughter of the lafe
I'D. Williams. By error the amount OF
the prize was named as S. 90, and some
may have thought that the winning OF
that sum was not worthy of extended
mention. However, the amount actually
Won was $500, which is much more
worth while.
As one passes down Main Street the
store windows next entrances which are
putin on an angle with the sidewalk, give
reflection OF anyone walking toward
them, or away for that matter, but the
last doesn't count in this item. lt has
been stated by an observer that many
persons on approaching this street mir
TOR, stop and make little adjustments TO
their attire. OF course this is vanity,
and generally laid to the feminine por-
ton of the community; but it seems
women are not the sole possessors oil
this attribute; only il affects them In a
different way from the men. When
woman sees her image in these windows
she straightens her hat and pats her
hair; when a man sees his, he adjusts
bis necktie. Evid5Gtly a woman's vain
est point is her hair, and q mans dis
neektie, so there will be no use in throw
ing rocks.
