MISS OPPORTUNITY

uSL QTOp WIldl you &c uoiHS, diiu ilulAy
like sin
To throw wide your portals and well
come her in!
With a smile and a bow and your
courtliest air
Just waltz her right up to the easiest
chair!
at best she's f1nicky maid.
And where's she's not wanted she never
has stayed.
So look to her comfort and lowering
To all that she says lend a listening
ear!
For-strange in a female-her words
are but few,
And when she has spoken. she really
is through!
And never forget. If you don't treat her
right.
She'll vanish away like a thief in
the night,
And though you may fancy she'll come
back some day,
IT'S likelier far that she'll just stay
away!
But if she's made welcome, why, then
she is fain
To bear YOU in mind and to pop in
again.
Ay! Though you leave home and go
wandering afar.
Believe me, she'll always know just
where YOU are!

The street in front of the E. X.
Brier Co., gift siNp at Belfast was
blocked Saturday night and by a
mite of a girl, little Evelyn Flood,
four years old, who unnoticed by
those in the shop, crept into the show
window and seated herself, among
some hand made dolls furniture.
She was totally oblivious to the at
| tention she was attracting and sat
| there humming a little song while
| she arranged the little chairs and
| tables to her liking. 1t was an at
| tractive sight and men, women and
al, 70 - la,-
the sidewalk was impossible. Then
she as suddenly decided to get out
| of the window, and calmly did so,
! leaving her admirers to go about
| their Saturday night shopping, per-
| haps a bit happier. for the sight Of
such little ray of sunshine.
Motorists going to the White
Mountain section will do we'll to go
by the road from Portland to Ossipee,
n. H, over a good road and then
! make their route to North Conway,
via. Chocorua, or go up through the
Franconia Notch, says the Bath
Times. The road through Bridgton
and Fryeburg, over which much
travel goes toward North Conway
is in fearful condition. Road con-
struction is underway for miles,
| Steam shovels are at work and along
the entire stretch at Moose pond a
| fill of rough rock is being made and
motorists have to travel over that
rock or go back. 1t Is hard on tires,
cars and the nerves of the driver.
At other points there are detours
and taken all in all the motorist will
find it anything but an enjoyable
ride over the Bridgton- Fryeburg
route for a time. When the job is
done it will be fine piece of road.
To hike $4,000 miles in seven years
is the job that Mr.. and Mrs. r. E.
Baxter of Minneapolis, Mimi, have
undertaken and up to date they have
travelled 1878. They left Washing
| ton, D. c., December IA, 1921, and
have been walking ever since. They
arrived in Portland on Monday and
they expect to stay here a day or
two. Mr.. Baxter is a World War
Veteran and a member of the Ameri-
can Legion. He served with the Rain
bow Division overseas and at the
close of the war suffered a nervous
collapse that resulted in a complete
paralysis of his arms. He was placed
| in a Government hospital and after
| IL ttIllC was uiSCudl ecu puI SilSllliy
| improved. He was advised to stay
| out doors and see what time would
! do. A friend agreed to give them a
sum of money if they walked $4,000
miles in seven years they announce.
| A year ago last December they
| started out and they are still going.
| In that time they have visited SO
| States.
