in 1893, Mr. Pearsall. the owner
of the majority of the land on the
little knoll projected into the harbor,
brought his young wife to live in
this beautiful,cstate, now also in a
state of neglect. Thinking that it
would please her to have. a pictur-
esque little church that she could
call her own erected near her home.
Mr. Pcarsall spared no expense in
(be building of the structure.
The walls, which show little ef-
.fect of the ravages of time and ne-
'lzlect, were built of heavy logs.
brought from Canada in rafts, lloa
hedges, neatly trimmed, enclosed the
grounds and two rows of high trees
formed a pathway to the doors. A
wonderful alter, a clear toned organ
and a set of specially made chlmes
were installed and made the church
one of the show places of Bridge-l
port.
On Sunday afternoons Rev. lob-
inson. former rector of St. John's
Episcopal church, came. in the little
house of worship to preach. While
the church was built in accommo-
date 200 persons, it was rarely that
more than 50 or 60 would make ihc'
trip by trolley or stage coach to at.
tend the services.
For eight or nine years the church
was used steadily. Then Mrs. Pear-
sall died and her death was follow-
ed shortly lifter by that of her hus-
band. Tlle latter. in his will. deeded
over the church to his friend. Jona-
than Thorne. And so the Tllnrncs
came to take possession but rarely
used the place. For years it stood.
untouched. During the \Vorld \\'ar[
the church gained a lease of life and?
services were. held weekly for mem-

according to Major Clarence C. Scar-
borough who as state finance officer
or the American Legion has charge
of distribution of the state fund for
the relief of needy cit-service men.
The payment. to men who served
their country in the ’World “'ar and
who are now in financial distress

ranging between that figure and
$2,000. This is not as much a. the
weekly payments fist spring when
the totals ran as high as $4.000
but it is in excess of the figures 3
year ago. On August 1. 1923. the.
payments were about $1,250 a. week
and did not go above 1,400 for some
time.
Major Scarborough says that
there seems to be considerable need
from‘unemployment in the eastern
part of the state. He made a. visit
to Putnam Monday to personally in-
vestigate a number of appeals from
that town. Because of unemploy-
ment there the Puma. applications
for last week were equal to thoae
from this city. At the concluslo
borough commended chairman
Archibald MacDonald and the mem-
bers of the Putnam committee for
their diligence and thoroug'iess in
handling the cases. "

Perfumed Shoes
Queen Elizabeth. like all other
queens and royal ladies. not only ap-
plied delicate pertumes to her cloth-
ing: and body, but wore cloaks and
shoes of perfumed leather.
Since the days when a tavored
Italian perfumer came to \Paris and
opened his royal shop. a pioneer in
a delicate art Which has grown into
a refined industry dealing with the
mystreies and fragrant powder of
pleasing odors. the fundamentals of
pertumlng have not undergone rad-
ical change.
Even though extensive flower
farms have been established. single
scents superseded largely by hon:
quote and chemical knowledge add-
ed to the skill of the natural born
pertumer. the process or making the
sweet scented odors. particularly
those at unexcelled quality. remains
a mystery new as much as then.—
