plans to bring the fact to Maine men
that they may buy Maine made
shoes at reasonable cost and at
the same time contribute to the in

due to the fact that Maine holds a
strong place in the shoe industry be-
cause it can successfully compete

penses. thereby producing a better
grade of shoe for the same money
than can be produced in most other
states Maine stands sixth in produce

Mrs. Thayer Delights
College Club with ne i
Talk On Wales = bra q

Intimate glimpses of the life and
customs of the people of Wales. and
something of the history of music
and letters of this little division of
the British Empire, were given at
the Tuesday evening meeting OF the
Augusta College Club at the Blaine
Mansion. Mrs. Fenton Tomlinson
proved u most charming hostess at
this meeting. The talk on Wales was
given by Mrs. Arthur i. Thayer, one
of the members of the club. Mrs.
Thayer's' mother was q native Of
Wales and Mrs. Thayer accompanied
her to that country and spent the
summer OF 1910 there. A very en-
joyable feature of Mrs. Thayer's
talk was her discussion of Welsh
music examples of which were Of
fered in several monograph records
by the we'll known Welsh tenor,
Sestin Davies. The selections chosen
by Mrs. Thayer as best typifying the
music of the country were: "All Thru
the Night" Wentra Given, and O'Na
Bydda's Han . Hyd, a pretty song
in the Welsh dialect. ....-..-
Carnarvon, called the capital of
Wales, a county and town in the
northern part of the country, was
most picturesquely described by
TIC SpSdNCI.
1t is interesting to know that it is
from Carnarvon that David Lloyd
George, the great English statesman,
was sent to Parliament. Because of
his introduction of the Workmen's
Compensation law into Parliament,
Lloyd George was very popular with
the people OF his own town.
Mrs. Thayer told of the origin of
the emblem of Wales, the leek. The
city Of Aberrytwyth in South Wales,
is often compared to Atlantic City
and the city of Aberdovey is famous
for the Wales song, Bells of Aber-
dovey."
The speaker brought with her sew
eral semi precious stones which she
obtained in Wales and also q rush
light whose history zoe back, to the
Shakespearian period.
One of the most amusing stories
of the evening was that of a town in
Wales which has 81 letters in its
name Mrs. Thayer spoke Of the
absence of wooden houses. most of
the homes there being of brick and
stone. She said that during her visit
she was taken on a long journey for
the express purpose of seeing some
wooden houses which the inhabitants
called American homes.
