We all rejoice in that tribute to the beauties and the unusual combi nations of lake and mountain scenery In endless profusion and variety at every hand throughout the state. How many people of Burlington have tested the correctness of this characterization for themselves? How many beauty spots on lake and on mountain have you vis ited yourself t If you have only a few hours to spare an hour's ride by auto will take you to Grand Isle county, wjiere you can enjoy a tour with mountain scen ery and a brbad expanse of water on both sides of you for miles a combi nation that cannot be paralleled in all respects anywhere else in the world If you have more time, still other com binations of lake and mountain in the IS RETIRED ON PENSION Harry A.

Cj" L. O'Clair, who died in Montreal a few weeks ago, brought this to great efficiency and his ' early death was a great shock to the granite men, as well as to the family. Mr. Flannery has been foreman in the shed for three years and is recognized by all to be a thoroughly capable gran ite man. Mrs. O'Clair has been in the office for 11 years and knows every line of the business and has been great ly interested and helpful in its devel opment. As far as known, she is the only woman in the county to own and rngage actively in this line of work. The best wishes of all are with this new firm, which, it is hoped, will be able to carry out some of the plans of Mr. O'Clair. The board of civil authority of Dux bury meets at the town clerk's office this evening. Rev. Edward C.

''Dodging an Eternal Fact" will be the theme of Rev. J. Garfield Sallis at the Center, Sunday morning. Mrs. Henry Demeritt, who has been seriously ill with pneumonia, -seemed more comfortable yesterday. A trained nurse is caring for her. Ridley Parker of New York City and Miss Julia Parker of Brookline, Mass., were recent guests of their brother, John Parker. . Waterbury feels justly proud of her increase in population and realizes that thanks are due the business enterprises, which have given work to many. Dux bury, too, has lost only 17 in popula tion, when many felt that, because of so many deserted farmhouses, the town would greatly fall behind. Dux- bury Corner and North Duxbury make up for the decrease in other parts of the town. Mrs. F. C. Davis of North Duxbury i confined to the house, but is im proving. Good news continues to arrive re ' gaiding the condition of Miss Norma Perkins at the Mary Fletcher hospital. Modest in Appreciation. The pretty cashier was so busy ad miring herself that she took an unrea sonably long time to count out change t a hurried customer. "Good heavens, how vain you are!" he exclaimed irritably. "Indeed, I'm not." she answered sweetly. "I do not. think I'm half as pretty as I really am." Rehoboth Sunday .Herald. an auto trip from Burlington. One of the most enjoyable - combina tions of delightful riding and all, the varieties of scenery we have mentioned is a drive over the smooth, gTaveled roads of Essex, Jericho, Underbill Cambridge, Johnson, North Hyde Park and Eden to Eden pond, a little shor of 50 miles from Burlington. You will seldom pass over that charming route through Underhill in particular, with out finding a man and team'at worlj with a road drag and another man with a rake filling in the slight ruts and holes with loose gravel thrown up by ant os. Underhill maintains its roads at less expense than any other town we know of, And Richmond, for example, might well, as well as other towns not excluding Burlington, use the same method to get rid of its "washboard" effects on purely gravel roads. Fieture one of the best of Dr. Webb's roads from Jericho to Eden pond and you have some conception of the attractions of this ride. After enjoying Eden pond, and it cooling breezes, which are peculiarly re freshing after a hot period in lower levels, the tourist can make the return remains trip by Lake Lamoille in Morrisville, drive well into Smuggler's Notch from Stowe, and return via -Waterbury to Burlington the same afternoon in am ple time for tea or dinner as you pre fer. If one can remain over night, a stop on the top of Mount Mansfield will repay the time and expense. When the tourist makes this circle round Mansfield, he has bounded what we believe wijjjie one of the future big show places of Vermont with ample ho tel accommodations. It is, so far as we know, the only place in the country, where one can drive to the very top of a high mountain by auto, and sweep the country by eye for so many miles around. When a man can ride on wheels to a point, where he can see the Presidential range of the White moun tains to the east and the highest peaks of the Adirondack to the west, he must admit it is the most attractive combination for tourists to be found anvwhere. All that is needed is to erect the big summer hotel to accom modate visitors such a summer mecca would attract, when fully equipped for business on a large scale. We are glad to say that C. L. Mc Mahon of Stowe is lugging round a big secret as to where and how soon the Stowe side of Mansfield will have such a hostelry. We hope by the time he is ready to disclose his secret other par ties will be ready to match it with an other big summer hotel on the Under hill side. We would not be afraid to guarantee that both hotel would be filled to overflowing from the very out set. Keep your eve on the Mansfield re gion and see how Vermont is going to match the White mountain region in hotels at it already excelis it in ac cessible beauty spots.

Kverywhere they stormed her with applause and everywhere ad mirers and charity seekers besieged her.

Baby's Clothing. In dressing the baby, he should be handled as little as possible. A little baby's body is very tender and if han dled roughly or too much, he will be made very , uncomfortable. All the clothing should be drawn on and off over the feet instead of over the head. When he is dressed completely, baby has on a band, shirt, diaper, skirt, dress and liootees. None of this cloth ing should be heavy or stiff. It is bet ter to dress a baby lightly and slii on a little short jacket for cool morn ings aim evenings. When baby ir a few months old, it is a good plan on a hot summer day to take off all his clothing for a few minutes in the mid dle of the day and allow him to roll and play on a bed. Elaborate or fancy trimmed gar ments have no place in a little baby's wardrobe. Both mother and baby are better off without them, .especially if the mother must care for the garments herself. Lace about the neck of a lit tle baby's dress is liable to irritate the tender skin and cause the child a great deal of discomfort, as will starched garments. Sometimes these irritations are difficult to heal. For the first few weeks of life, the new baby does little but eat, sleep and grow.
