There is movement on foot among
the members of the Bennington His.
torical society to complete the monu-
ment at Center Bennington that
marks the site of the old Catamount
tavern. The monument was started
in 1876 when block of Barre granite
weighing six tons was placed in posi-
ton near where the old tuvern used
to stand. 1t WAS intended then to
surmount the pedestal with q shaft,
GA the top of which should be brouze
catamount. In 1891 the four sides
of this stone were smoothed and an
inscription cut on the polished sur
faces. Nothing further has been
done until recently. H. G. Boot has
started movement to complete it.
Gen. j. G. Mccullough and Ii. W.
Putnam have each given 500 towards
the project, and in all about 5000 has
been raised. Mr.. Root thinks he
can raise $1,000, and with that amount
he could get suitable stone to com
plete it with, and for the purpose of
investigating into the matter more
fully has been several days in New
York. 1t is probable thai DIN l..
Warner, a well known American
sculptor, would be the designer. He
is descendent of Seth Warner aud
member of the historical society.

W ALLINGFORD.

A man fishing in the brook which
runs parallel with the road between
Wallipgford and East Wallingford,
Sunday morning, discovered the body
of a man in about one foot of water.
The authorities were notified. The
body was recognized as that of Geo.
Clemens. He returned Saturday
night from Rutland, having attended
Buffalo Bills Wild West show. 1t
is said that while returning to his
home, one and half miles from the
railroad station, he fell from high
way down a steep bank into the brook.
1t is supposed by the blood on the
stones and cuts on his head that he
was badly hurt. Being unconscious
he was soon drowned. He was about
40 years old. The funeral was large
" attended at the residence of his
mother, Monday afternoon. He was
brother of Dir. Clemens of Man
chester.

ing. Serviceable for school wear are the cheviots, mixed tweeds and serges, while for moro dressy occasions there are the crepons, challies and india silks. For school wear the sailor dress is much worn by girls. It is made with full skirt, generally plaited. The blouse is in every respect exactly like boys, but the vest piece has generally band around the neck, which makes it vastly more becoming.
 The simple dresses may be rendered quite smart by the addition of broad lace shoulder capes and satin ribbon. When a tailor gown is preferred for girls of II to l6, an appropriate pattern is what is known as an English jacket. This is, in point of fact, a three box plaited affair, the plaits running length wise and the jacket belted.
 Cloaks for children under 12 are either long enough to cover the dress or very short ill tho reefer style. The long coats are cut half fitting, with a flaring skirt, or with full skirt fastened to Q waist and worn with one two or three capes. Rough and smooth cloths arc both used. The cloth coats arc often guilt less of any trimming and depend entire ly on the beauty of material and fault less cut for the look of style. The rough cheviot coats, like peajackets, are smart little affairs worn with school dresses, and like the boys short coats, are par ticularly good for play and to wear when walking, as the long coats are somewhat heavy.
 Boots without heels arc worn by little girls, the spring heel until they grow older. Kid boots, with patent leather trimmings, and cloth and kid, with pat ent leather tips for dress wear, arc the proper footgoar. Slippers and short socks are only worn by very small girls, to whom also are relegated colored shoes to match the colored sashes.
 The little Lord Fauntleroy style pre- dominates in suits for the small boy on dressy occasions. A very attractive ob-

How to Lander Silk and Lace.

To launder silk handkerchiefs drop a little ammonia in water, rub carefully, rinse, and having placed cloth on the table pin the handkerchief to it, stretch ing tightly until every wrinkle is gone. When dry, remove the pins, take one corner of the kerchief in one hand and draw it briskly through the other This removes the glazed appearance, and your handkerchief is like new No ironing is necessary.
 Lace curtains are best done in the same way, except little starch may be added to the rinse water unless the cur tains are very fine. Spread a sheet-two if necessary-on the floor, and having measured the windows and allowed for draping, if it is wished, stretch care- fully and pin to the sheet and carpet Two curtains may be handled at once as we'll as separately, and you are sure then to stretch them the same length.
