Following the recent dispersal of the
centennial commemorative exhibition of
relics of the first American yacht, Cleo
patra's Barge, which was built in Salem
in 1816, the Peabody institute of Salem,
where the collection was on view, has
issued a catalogue of the pictures and
articles shown, with the announced pur
pose of retaining public interest in the
ship. The catalogue gives a very inter
esting description of the famous voyages
of the yacht, particularly of the one
which was popularly supposed to have
been made by the owner, Capt. George
Crowninshield, with the purpose of rescu
ing Napoleon from St. Helena. Many
illustrations of the relics and of the ship
itself are given in the catalogue. Pea

Tlie Christmas number of the Wom
an’s Home Companion is filled with good
things. It is almost a fiction number,
for there are fine stories by such wel -
known authors as Eleanor Hallowed At
bott, who begins the first part of a two
part novel; Mary E. Wilkins Freeman,
Elsie Singmaster, Margaret Widdemer
and Mary Heaton Vorse. The special
articles are interesting, especially the
one by Arnold Bennett, called “Who is
the Rich Man?” An article called “Play
Producing for Amateurs” gives many
valuable hints, amt “Deciding What to
Make” is also helpful. Then there are
the various departments which have de
voted themselves to Christmas advice
and suggestions. The fashions, cooking,
picture section and all the others are
filled with suggestions and plans for
Christmas.
Number Three of the Fourth Volume
| of Sprague’s Journal of Maine History,
published quarterly at Dover, Me., is at
I hand and is one of its most interesting
and attractive issues. In it is a valuable
historical paper by Archie.Lee Talbot of
Lewiston, which was read before the
Maine Historical Society, May 24, 1916,
entitled, “Robert Bayley, the First
Schoolmaster in Falmouth (Portland)
Maine, and Some of His Descendants;’’
an article by Prof. Windsor P. Daggett
of the U. of M. on the “Songs of Thomas
Shaw” of Standish, an early Maine
poet; papers on “Teaching Maine His
tory in the Public Schools” read before
the Teachers’ Institute in the Foxcroft
Acaden y, Vlay J10, 1916, by Hon. Wm. B.
Kendall of bowdoinham and Editor
Sprague; a letter from Hon, Charles E
Oak of Bangor on the Waldo Patent and
other historical items equally as import
ant.
The December Wide World Magazine
is an especially interesting number, full
of thrilling and instructive stories of ad
venture, travel and sport. There are
many articles dealing with life in Canada
and the great Northwest and these should
appeal strongly to American readers.
Frarcis J. Dickie tells the story of “Can
ada’s Last Frontier,” while Day Allen
Willey describes the defensive organiza
tion which has been built up in our great
forests to guard against fires. As most
people are aware, half the battle of pre
serving our timber from the devastating
flames consists in getting to work prompt
ly, and to this end lookout stations have
been established on every point of vant
age, linked up by telephone with “rescue
stations,” while forest rangers patrol all
dangerous areas. The article is magnifi
cently illustrated. "My Seven Years’ Im
prisonment in Prussia” is an absorbing
statement by the unfortunate victim, M.
Paul Chorenne, a French engineer who,
some years before the war, was arrested
on suspicion of being a spy.
‘Living in History,'by Agnes Repplier,
—the leading article of the November
Atlantic,—is a s.tirr ng challer ge to those
Americans who, while the destiny of the
world is being decided on the battlefields
of Europe, profess to a ‘mental neutra
lity’ which, to MiBB Repplier’s thinking,
is unworthy of rational beings. Rein
hold.Niebuhr, author of ‘The Failure of
I German-Americanism,’ brings a moat
serious charge against modern civiliza
tion in The Nation’s Crime against the
Individual.’ The question of prohibition
is second in importance to none of our
national problems. The arguments of
one side haye been aoiy advanced in the
Atlantic by Jonn Koren; now Dr. Eu
gene Lyman Fiske, director of the Life
Extension Institute, offers in rebuttal an
indictment of alcohol drawn from the ex
perience and records of the world's great
life insur nee .companies. Under the
heading of The Great War’ are six ad
mirable articles: 'Neutral Europe and
the War,’ by L. Simons, a Dutch public
ist who has no illusions; 'The Conscienti
ous Objector,’ by Henry W. Nevinson;
‘The Defeat of the German General
Staff,’ by Herbert Sidebotham of the
Manchester Guardian; ‘Tne Flame of
France,' by Aden Tucker; a poignant
episode of tne Irish Rebellion, 'Easier,’
by Nora Connohy; and a terrible account
ot the Aroiem.tn Deportation as told by
an eye-wuness. There are many other
notable articles, stories and poems which
make the sum-total of a number which
ushers the Atlantic into a year promising
still greater achievement.

[Correspondence of The Journal.]
New York, Nov. 20, 1916. Following
the note of frivolous gaiety which domi
nated fashionable attire during the sum
mer, there is a wave of dignified rich
ness of materials, colors and trimmings
that makes tor the pleasure of matrons,
who felt, and alas! often looked out of
place in short flaring skirts and rain
bow sweaters.
Velvet and Fur.
‘ Velvet and fur, lace and brocaded silks,
with patterns picked out in gleaming
threads of gold and silver, and every last
hit of real lace that a woman can wear,
all go to make up the ensemble of royal
toilets worn on state occasions. It
sounds a bit discouraging for the girl
with “nothing a year,” hut really, if
clever, she can achieve an excellent ap
pearance spite of her limited allowance.
Many of the imported velvet gowns are
velveteen—velutine as theFrench call it—
and one can have an all-fur coat, or just
a little good fur trimming, or better yet,
a smart little set that will go with any
thing and he quite in the mode.
To Train or Not.
If one belongs in the matron class,
trains, which are in again,.add height and
dignity to the figure, but the girlish set
stick to their short petticoats, and show
the most fascinating cross gartering
