OLD HOME FESTIVAL.
How Maine and New Hampshire
welcome Their Former Citizens.

How Maine and New Hampshire
Welcome Their Former Citizens.
Last year the governor of New Hamp-
shire established festival called odd
Home" week. The object was to bring
together each year the sons and daugh-
terS of the state who were residing in
other states to meet once more in the
towns and cities which were once their
homes. The idea was warmly received
by both residents and nOnrcSidcnts,
and appropriate exercises were held
by many towns to welcome the visit
OrS. Maine also took up the idea and
this year held an "Old Home" week,
which brought thousands of former
citizens. with their children and all
connected with them, back to the
scenes of their childhood. 1t is beau
tiful idea and calculated to work to
the benefit of all concerned.
The success of the festival In New
Hampshire is described by corre-
spondcnt of the Boston Globe.
Already there are evidences that
"Old Home" week Is means of help
fulrcSS to many towns from those who
had almost forgotten their native hills
in the turmoil of worldly endeavor far
away. Money is being contributed by
such to village Improvement funds. the
erection of memorial libraries is being
discussed by several, negotiations are
made for the purchase and improve
ment of the "Old homestead" by re-
turning ones. whose visits last year
awOle a desire for the preservation of
childhood's sacred surroundings. and
in innumerlblc ways the towns report
permanent good is being done by the
recognition of "Old Home" week.
Although many towns have not yet
caught the breeze of sentiment which
is blowing in all directions of the COM
monwealth. 1t is believed that ere many
years the town or even city in New
Hampshire which does not pay some
special attention to this festival will
be worthy of historical mention as an
exception.

wetting the hair and tyingbroad bands
of tape around it.
One of the most stylish gloves for
wear with light gowns is old fashioned

Apparently this is to be season Of
buckles. They are steadily growing
larger and more popular and are much
more beautiful, from an artistic point
of view, than ever before.
SILK applique on net and velvet appli-
que on net or silk are trimmings as
popular as lace, and stunning little
coats are made of black velvet appli-
que on coarse net and lined with white.
Dealers say that women are buying

poetically dubbed winter sky is the
