PRELUDE"

"PRELUDE
 At largely attended meeting of the Allied Arts club on last Monday eve ming at the residence of MT. and Mrs. Frank Hartley Anderson, the assem- blaze was most delightfully."- entertained with the dramatic reading of Edgar Valentine Smiths prize story, '"Pre- lude," by Mrs. Jerome Vandiver.
 All of those who had read and en- joyed and appreciated this finely told story as published in Harper's realized more fully the poignant dramatic ele- ment in it that night, as skillfully brought out by the expressive reading of Mrs. Vandiver.
 After the hearty applause for the ac- complished reader had subsided there were insistent calls for author" and Mir. Smith reluctantly responded with few characteristically modest re- marks.
 During the informal social hour that followed, the babel of conversation was broken by sounds of sweet music and all turned to see the clubs president, Ferdinand Dunkley, seated at the stu dio grand piano, playing in his artistic manner the wonderful sonata "Pathe- tique." Mendelssohn and other com posers were drawn on before his listen CTS would be satisfied.
 On tomorrow evening the club will meet at Miss Charlotte Blacks Flower Shop, at Five Points, when Mrs. Leon. ard T. Beecher will be heard in a read inp

Interesting Relic

In these days Of automobiles, when
a man may breakfast in Hallowell,
have a noon luncheon in Boston and
dine in the evening in q New York ho-
tel, bill recently found in the Niles
livery stable in Hallowell offers an
amusing contrast The bill itself is
decidedly interesting. 1t is adorned
with two pictures, one of barouche
drawn by two spirited horses and
driven by coachman in livery, the 9TH
er of man and a woman riding two
prancing saddle horses. The dress of
the characters in these pictures is of
the sixties. The bill is dated April 80,
1868. and is made out to John Green.
The items are ITO horse and phaeton to
Portland" ITO expense in getting
horse and carriage home" The sum
total Of the expense Of that trip to
Portland to John Greene was SIS and
the time consumed was about that
which the modern automobile would
take from Hallowell to New York.
