habit gave an entirely new solo dance of
intricate steps and poses in a manner
that entitled her to compliments galore
for her grace and originality. The exhi
bition waltz and fox trot by Mrs. Fattee
and one of her pupils, Warren Rollerson,
was said by many to have been one of
the most: graceful and best demonstra
tions ever seen in Belfast. Mrs. Pattee
wore a most becoming gown of purple
velvet with Bilver lace and garniture of
French flowers. General dancing with
music by McKeen’s orchestra was enjoy
ed until 1 a. m.
At the Waldo County Hospital Miss
Alice Wescott and the nurses were as
sisted by Miss Annie V. Field in arrang
ing for a Christmas tree. One of the
number made a fine Santa Claus while
the others were masquerading as chil

enjoyed a sumptuous dinner and the real
Christmas cheer prevailed.
It was a happy Christmas at the Home
for Aged Women, now under the
thoughtful and efficient management of
their new matron, Mrs. R. A. Clifford,
the family reporting it as the best in its
history. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Blais
dell sent a basket of chickens, nuts, can
dy, sugar, raisins and other good things,
including flowers for decoration. Mrs.
Blaisdel! dressed the chickens in paper
gowns and caps and made the gift artistic
as well as helpful to this happy family,
some of whom have reached their second
childhood. The home was also decorated
with ten large evergreen wreaths, the gift
of Miss Brown of Northport. John
Cochran Chapter, D. A. R., sent a bas
ket containing seven individual baskets
bearing the names of the ladies and con
taining nuts, candy and fruit. Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Moore of Northport donat
ed vegetables of all kinds. Mr. and Mrs.
H. L. Bucklin presented pickles, pre
serves, apples, etc., and Mrs. R. F. Dun
ton sent in a dozen Christmas cakes.
Mrs. i Annie Snow Dow, who has been
confined to her room for the past eight
weeks, was made happy with a Christ
mas tree presented by Harry C. Snow.
Christmas was a festive occasion at
the Girls’ Home. For weeks the girls
had been practicing songs and recitations
under the direction of the matron, Mrs.
Florence S. Taylor. They had also gath
ered evergreen and had made wreaths for
the windows and ropes for the doors and
the banister. Two big trees filled oppo
site corners of the long “schoolroom,”
and against the center wall the thrifty
house plants which are the special care
of the housekeeper, Mrs. Fred Greer
made a beautiful Dank of green. The
first girl up in the morning was much
startled by a dark form on the corridor
floor, looming large in the dim twilight of
early morning. Hurriedly she called the
other girls, only to lind that the startling
apparition was a heap of black stockings
left by Santa Claus. The girls themselves
had contributed to the contents of these
stockings, nearly every one making some
gift for another.

and looking very attractive in their white
dresses and red hair-bows.
As the last song closed Santa Claus

astic when some of the girls recognized a
favorite friend, Mr. E. M. Glidden. The
North church had charge of the tree this
year. The committee, under the lead of
Mrs Harry Kilgore, had arranged as gifts
dainty “Sally Lou” dolls for the younger

MISS JEAN W. FERGUSON
Miss Jean Wason Ferguson, one of Bel
fast’s most highly respected women, pass
ed away Monday night, Dec. 27th, at the
home of her nephew, Alfred M. Ferguson,
Durham street. All of her life was spent
in Belfast, where she was born Jan, 27,
1835, the daughter of Moses W. and Lydia
(Brooks) Ferguson. She attended the Bel
; fast schools and for several years taught
in Searsport and Camden. Wnen a young
woman she was associated with Mrs. El
len Littlefield Racklilf, now of Los Ange
les, Calif., in a millinery store on Phoenix
Row; later they moved to what is now
the Waldo Trust Company’s place of
business. While there she bought Mrs.
Rackliff’s interest in the firm and later
bought the Bean hat store, which she
: closed out and for many years conducted
a dry goods business in the block. H ™
millinery she sold toj her niece, Miss
Louise H Ferguson, who now conducts
it. Miss Ferguson retired about three
years ago. In all this long business career
; she had enjoyed the esteem and respect
of many who had been her customers for
j life and sincerely regretted her retire
ment. She was about the home Christ
mas, but had been in ill health some time.
‘ For many years she was an attendant at
the North Congregationalist church. She
was charitable and public-spirited, a
worthy woman in every sense of the
word. One brother, Capt. John W. Fer
guson of this city, survives her. The
funeral was held at her late home Wed
nesday at 2 p. m., Rev. Alfred C. Elliott
of the North church officiating. The
bearers were Messrs. Charles W. Fred
erick, John R. Dunton, Robert P. Chase
and Mayor C. W. Wescott. The burial
will be in Grove Cemetery.
OUR PUBLIC HEALTH WORK
A problem which confronts every citi
zen, young or old, rich or poor, is the
vital problem of health. Belfast,
through its Public Health Nursing Sur
vey, and the employment of a Public
Health Nurse is taking an important
steo in the solving of the local problem.
Is it not distinctly worth while to have a
trained, experienced w oman in our midst,
not only to help us in times of acute and
pressing need, but by ber advice and in
struction to forestall our mistakes and
educate us in matters of every day sani
tation and hygiene? We have just such
a woman in our nurse, Miss Sadie M.
Nickerson. Your physician will help you
to get in touch with her when you need
her in your home. You may consult her
freely at her office in the Savings Bank
Building any week afternoon from two
till three o’clock. Help us by your pub
lic-spirited generosity to maintain this
splendid work. Send your contributions
to our treasurer, Miss Isabel G.nn, 110
High St.
Since our last report contributions of
$5 or more have been received as follows:
Miss Louise Hazelline, $15.00

Charles W. Lancaster and Miss Sarah
J. Chapin, both of this city, were mar
ried Monday, Dec. 27th, at the Unitarian
parsonage. The ceremony took place at
4.30 p. m., Rev. Arthur E. Wilson offici
ating with the single ring service. They
were unattended. The bride wore a suit
of dark blue velour and a blue and white
ostrich feather hat. Mr. Lancaster is a
well known business man and his bride
has been bi8 housekeeper for several
years. They will make their home in
the Marsano block on High street.
THE CHURCHES
North congregational Church.
Rev. A. C. Elliott, pastor; parsonage, 26
High street; telephone, 157-4. Morning
worship at 10.45. Church school at noon.
Men’s Forum at 12.15. Stereopticon lec
ture at 7.30. Mid week devotional ser
vice Thursday at 7.30 p. m.
“The Cry of the Children” was the
subject of the pastor’s sermon last Sun
day morning when the cause of the starv
ing children of Europe was presented to
the congregation and a substantial sum
of money collected for the Central Euro
pean Relief Fund. As next Sunday is
the first Sunday in the New Year, it is to
be hoped the members of the parish will
begin the year well by being present at
the morning service. The pastor will take
as his subject, “Restoring the Wasted
Years.” The sacrament of the Lord’s
Supper will be observed.
The speaker at the Men’s Forum will
be Mr. E. B. Brierly who will introduce
the subject, “The Farmer in Relation to
the Labor Union and the Consumer,”
This is a vitally interesting topic and
many men ought to be present and an
interesting and profitable discussion fol
low.
Next Sunday evening there will be
given the first of the series of pictures—
talks on a “Better America.” These lec
tures have been prepared by the well
known preacher, Dr. Newell Dwight Hil
lis, and are challenging and thought
compelling. He has condensed much
valuable information into small compass,
and while these talks are bristling with
facts, each lecture only occupies about
half an hour for delivery. The lectures
are given under the auspices of the Frank
D. Hazeltine Post of the American Legion,
through whose kind offices and those of
Mr. Lynwood B. Thompson, they have
been secured. It is a very great privi
lege accorded to the citizens of Belfast to
be able to hear such inspiring and patriotic
talks and it is to be hoped all who are in
terested in the future of America will
plan to attend the whole course. It is
especially desirable that the young people
of our High school should attend that
they may catch the inspiration of Ameri
canism and be fired with zeal for the in
stitutions of their native land.

IN these days just before the New Year the
people of the world are apt to take inventory
-mentally, morally, physically, financially.
In this period of financial checking-up, the
preferred stockholders of Central Maine Power
Company find themselves in an extremely satis
factory position.
The price of the preferred stock has stood firm
at $107.50 a share-exactly what they paid for it.
The dividends have been paid unfailingly.
The 57th consecutive, uninterrupted dividend will
be paid January 1st.
Their investment has proved safe as to prin
cipal and certain as to dividends, and more than
that-their money has been put to work in their
home State, to build up this State and to increase
the prosperity of its people.
It is not surprising, therefore, that many of
these stockholders will invest a fair proportion of
their New Year funds in Central Maine Power
Company 7 percent Preferred Stock.
