prominent men from New York and other
places are hiking the trail as a form of
pleasure and recreatio6 Wherever this
terminus is there will these parties descend
to meet their cars or take trains. Hun
dreds of men have this year traverscd the
Green Mountain trail and an opportunity
is before this county to get behind the
project and complete the trail to Jay
peak. Let's have jay peak day next
summer. Such a day would afford those

1t is said large deposits of tale have
been discovered in Montgomery Center
and that the prospects for its develop
are bright. This discovery only empha-
sizes the contention this paper has always
held that the Green mountain nge trav-
ersing the western side of Orleans county
is full of valuable mineral deposits. Just
what the difference between soap stone
and tale may be this paper does not know
but soap stone was -quarried in the town
Of Westfeld but few miles from Mont
gonery Center, many years ago. The
site of the old mine is near the Hazen
road marker al the Hazens notch high
way pass. This stone was grated or
scraped with a knife and used as tale in
many household of that vicinity many
years ago, and may be now. Asbestos in
this same range is now being mined few
miles south of this tale deposit, and crome
and iron in considerable quantities are
known to exist this side of the Canadian
border on this range.

Derivation of "Riondine.n

The term ''blondine" as it is gen.
orally used in the verb form, as ''to
blondine the hair" has never been
accepted by any photographer, and
so does not appear in the standard
dictionaries. The term is said to have
been derived from proprietary prepa-
ration bearing the title "blondine,"
which was employed as a hair bleach.
The inventor of the preparation may
have derived the word from the French
"blondir," to grow yellow. The OK
ford dictionary, a leading modern au-
thority, gives the word "blondine," and
states that this adjective is rare, and
is derived from the French 'blondin,"
and the italian "blondino," and is the
diminutive of the word blonde.
