A man who has lived to be 100years old and

Young Parker's boyhood was spent on his
fathers farm and in attending the village
school, At the age of 10 he entered Apple
ton Academy at New Ipswich and fitted for
college. Then he entered the University of
Vermont and was graduated in 1913, stand
ing second in his class He was distin-
guished for his scholarly achievements and
delivered an English Grafton, the Junior
Greek orator and the Latin salutatory adj
dress at commencement, which was held
July 18th.
There were many stirring times in Bur
lington during Amos Parker's college
career, occasioned by the outbreak of war
with England in 1912. Barbecues, heated
political debates, eftisy burnings, and other
demonstrations were of frequent occur
renee. In 1914 the garrison OF 1000 troops
had pitched battle with the British and
drove them from the place.
Endowed with college diploma, Parker
went South, and for a few years was en-
gagged AS tutor in the family of wealthy
planter near fredericksburg, Va. But the
natural bent of his mind was for the law,
and after spending few years in a law Of
fee he was admitted 10 the bar in 1921, and
opened law office in Eppng, n. II. On
October Is, 1922, Parker married his first
wife, Miranda w. Sanders, the eldest daugh-
ter OF Daniel c. Sanders, the first President
OF the University of Vermont A year later
Mr.. Parker removed from Epping TO Con-
cora, ana lnen became eQltor OF the New
Hampshire Statesman. He took an active
part in the political campaign previous to
the election OF John Quincy Adams for
President, aud was appointed by Governor
Morrill, to be one of his aids
In this capacity he was delegated to 60 to
Boston soon after Lafavette's arrival, and
invite him to visit New Hampshire.
From this dates Mr.. Parker s,intimacy with
General Lafayette, and he is probably the
only person ROW living who enjoyed the
close friendship and esteem OF the ilustri-
GUS Frenchman. 1t had been arranged that
Lafayette should assist In laying the corner
stone of Bunker Hill Monument on June
II, 1925, and he promised to visit New Hamp-
shire Immediately after that event.

DRESS, AN AID TO BEAUTY.
Redeem Gives Hints on Materials Hat and
COlldrette TO Match.
Special to THE SUNDAY CALL.

NEW YORK, Nov. %, 1891.-SOme long
time ago some person wrote book
on the art Of beauty. 1t was work that
gave very little practical information on
cosmeiiques, powders and hair invigorators,
possibly because the world was in far less
advanced stage than now and did not know
Its own wants This gentleman had great
deal to say on the matter and said it in
verse, which has been translated into rather
bold English. But as he is rather old
fashioned and trifie plain-spOken and re-
alIstic for modern readers he has long since
been relegated to the attic, or only drags out
an unread existence in our grandfathers'
libraries. Now in our time new speaker
has suddenly sprung up, and this time a
lady, SO tn at she speaks no doubt from per-
sonal experience, and her remarks are
worth weighing carefully Although she
Is no advocate or making up" she con-
soles her plain sisters by telling them that
beauty is formed by art as well as nature,
which Is highly cOnsoling. By art such vulgar
means as rouge, dye and their associates
must not be understood, but unknown, I'M
published aids. such as nose compressors,
nail-shaping thimbles and other secrets of
the arts of beauty as understood by this
new professor. At the lecture at st. James
Hall, London, the lecturer won great sue
cess, her audience being greatly Influenced
by the fair orators own good looks. which
formed the best advertisement possible for
her. In these days. when every discovery
possible for the advancement of grace and
beauty has been laid at the feet of modern
wo manhood; when cOmpleXionists, derma-
tologists, chropodists. modistes, milliners,
and even house deco ratprs. strive for the
success of beauty, the production of beauty,
surely such a thing as an ugly woman
should be an impossibility. At any rate, if
we go on at this rate ugliness will soon be-
come extinct, unless a few specimens are
kept by Government to show the fu ture
generation what art will have done for the
female race.
