were financially able to return, would
enjoy far more such an informal gather
ing where they could meet and visit with
the old friends and neighbors, yet living,
than the best circus or show on earth.
Most of them can see better shows at
home than any town In Vermont can
afford to furnish.
After the picnic the visitors could go
their ways, visit friends or old scenes
without the aid of brass band or body
guard, and they would most of them
enjoy the quiet way the best.
An annual picnic gathering of the
people of every town within its own
borders, of its own citizens and the absent
sons and daughters, would be pleasant
event.
1t would be "a grand thing for the
people to get together, become better
acquainted; learn to know each other,
and feel that all were members of one
great town family interested in the sue
cess of each other and of their town.
The Grange has started similar
movement and in nearly every town
where there is Grange there is held an
annual picnic where not only Changers,
but all the farmers of the town gather to
enjoy a days outing and rest. What
is more appropriate than to hold their
gatherings all in Old Home Week?
There is no town so poor financially
or in public spirit, but that it has some
one or more live citizens, who could
issue call for such a gatherln g.
That is all that is needed.
The people would all come and
they would have such good time they
would want to come again the next year.
No brass band is needed. Every town
has singers enough that would attend
such picnic to make a big choir that
could lead in singing the old familiar
songs that everybody knows and loves,
and the whole company would join in
singing The notices could be given out
in the churches, posted in the postoffice,
and local papers would all print them
gladly. No money need be raised. Nc
long committees need be appointed
for such a gathering. They are well
enough and would help, but are not
absolutely necessary. The more in.
| formal these events the better. The
committee could all be appointed in
formally at the picnic itself and the
speaking and singing being all of the
same order, could be arraigned then and
there.
1t Is not to hear long speeches, etc.
that people attend such picnic gather.

FRILLS OF FASHION.

The fayorte material for mourning

Moire is expected to be one of the
fashionable silks of the fall.
Silver tissue is employed as back
ground for many of the fine laces and
embroideries.
The tendency of the dress designers
is just now to study old pictures and
prints and quaint old fashion books
for fresh inspiration and not only to
burrow in the past, but to explore the
unknown paths Of the present. Orig
inality is so precious an attribute To
the designer of to-day that he will
even wander into the far east to get
new ideas in form and color.
\ handsome French dress for even
ing wear is made of soft old rose wolfe.
with a rnsh like silk poplin. The
gown is made mp with taffeta silk of
the same shade, and trimmed with
black velvet ribbon, in five graduated
widths, on the lower portion of the
skirt. and on the bodice there is a
pretty arrangement of the ribbon, and
draperies and frills of black lace, show
ing applique designs of silk-embroi-
dered pale and deep old rose flowers
and foliage, set here and there upon
the lace.

THREE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

Their Health And Beauty
By Taking Peruha.
BY Taking Peruha.

Miss Florence Allan, beautiful Chi !
cago girl, writes the following to DR.. s. ]
B. Hartman concerning his catarrhal !
| tonic, Peruna:
rs WALTON Place, Chicago, Ill., !
GAS tonic for a WORKOUT system, ]
Peruna stands at the head In my esfi-
nation. Its effects are truly wonder
full In rejuvenafing the entire system.
I keep IL on hand all the time, and
never have that tired feeling as q 1
few doses always make me feel like a
different woman. "---Fiorence Allan.
| Thousands of women suffer from sys-
temic catarrh. This is sure to produce
such symptoms as cold feet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation of the heart
and heavy feelings in the stomach.
| Then begins series of experiments.
They take medicine for sick headache.
They take medicine for nervous prostra-
ton, for palpitation Of the heart, for
dyspepsia. None of these medicines do
any good because they do not reach the
cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-
tenn, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
Is removed.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.

In this way the glad tidings of prompt and effectual cures have been spread from day to day to the re- motest towns and villages, and the bless ed work of life saving progresses in every direction.
