Installation Day at Milford Grange
will be ON January 3rd.

Most children are uncomfortable
in stiffly statched clothes. The idea
that the garments stay clean long
er if starched may be true if the lit
tie ones do not indulge in their us
ual active play because of their
clothes. But it would be better to
choose closely woven, firm wash
fabrics, in smooth finishes that shed
dirt, and in colors and patterns that
do not look disagreeably dingy after
a short wearing. Then starching is
unnecessary.

at our Grange Hall. 1t surely is a
wonderful Improvement and will be
an inspiration to Orange players in
tho future. ''
The play "Old Acre Folks" was a
wonderful success from all points
of view. The cast was well select
ed and the players were compliments
ed in glowing terms on their perfor-
nance. But the directors should
also get their share of praise for the
effort they put forth to make this
play a success.
Pomona Grange will meet at Lau-

 French amusement taxes took 29 per cent of my receipts.
 Those Americans who are pro- French never came until the always tardy French criticisms were pun lished, so they might take the French view of things.
 Audiences were composed of 60 per cent French, yet not q single French person attended on the night of Friday, the 18th.

Parisc April ii. Rt-Why are Americans in France slower to laugh than the same type of people in America? +-
 A year or two, abroad seems to make them slow on the trigger when they see an American com edy, played in English by the same company that gets quick action from audiences on Broadway, in the middle west or on the Pacific coast.
 Well-proved successes, fresh from the United States, must be re-tlmed here to give the audience opportu- nifty to ''get the laugh.'
 This is one of the interesting points out of the experience of the American theatrical season put on here for twelve weeks by Carol M. Sax, founder of the Baltimore "Vag- abond Players" The reason, says Sax, is that the technique of the American stage has been modern ized.
 Formerly the actor, by pause or other indication, gave the signal for laugh,' he explained, but to- day, the American audience is men, tally on it's toes and seldom misses

Northampton, Mass, April ii. P) Calvin Coolidge calls it "a modest place, with little land"
 But most others speak of ''The Beeches" as show place of thls New England town.
 It is a lovely home on the edge of the Mt. Tom meadows and com- manding a majestic view of the Mt Tom and MT. Holyoke ranges fo- which the Coolidges will forsakc their half of the famous duplex within two months.
 For one thing there will be plenty of room for their dogs 10 romp in the woods after the re- strictions of Massasoit street, for the estate has nine acres of ground.
 The house has 16 rooms, a three- story rambling structure, with greenish-gray shingles on sides anl roof. It was built by Dr. Henry Noble MacCracken, president of Nassar college, while a professor at Smith college.
 One enters, perforce, by the back door. as the house faces on the meadows, with large veranda i front and no steps.
 It is approached by a private driveway after entrance through a wrought-iron gate flanked by i'm posing granite gate posts. On either side of the drive are beauti- fully laid out gardens, and father to one side are two tennis courts Of professional dimensions. Tue courts are partly screened by hedges and rose arbors which add to the privacy of the estate.
 In fact, the house itself is barely visible from nearby streets.
 At the right of the reception hall is a eozy library. with open hearth and shelves for 5000 books. Beyond the main living room is music room.
 The main floor also includes q cheerful dining room, a large kitch- en and servants quarters.
 On the second floor are bedrooms suites with private baths, as well as a guest suite, and two screened in sleeping porches which look out or the meadows and beyond to the silver ribbon of the ConnecticIt river.
 The third floor has a billiard room with pool table once a part of the old Amherst House.
 The interior of the house is fin ished in red birsh and handsomely appointed.
 Down a steep embanl1ment which has been terraced, the estate runs into the meadows where there is large vegetable garden.
 Part way down the embankment and screened by trees and shrubs, is an outdoor swimming pool, not

 Northampton neighbors of the Coolidges seem unanimous in ap- proving their selection of a resi- dence and since announcement of the purchase there has been a gen. eral expression of gratification.
 When the Cooldges moved back from Washington some 13 months ago, left most of their possessions in storage and moved into the little white house from which he began his political career there has been a vague feeling that their stay, af- ter all, might be only temporary.
 But this indication that North ampton is 10 be their permanent home is welcomed, for the city numbers enough old-fashioned Yan- kees to recognize the value of tell ing the world that it is Calvin Cool idge's home town.
