Olu kiOLuC luACC
Miss JEANNE Hubbard, who has been
in Boston for several weeks, returned
Tuesday, and is at Mrs. Jackson'S. Miss
Mary Hubbard, who has been in Boston
for some months, returned at the same
time.
Mrs. Frank E. Buck of South Paris
and her mother, Mrs. Young, while rid
ing a little way above this village last
Wednesday, were thrown out of the car
rage, but not seriously injured. The
owner of the team assures the Democrat
that there is no truth in the report that
the horse was frightened by dog. He
SAYS the horse was only four years old
and is fearless, but was feeling quite
well and swerved little, taking the
carriage into place in the road, that
was washed OUT and overturning it.
The carriage, bicycle buggy, was
badly damaged.
Mrs. E. D. Hooper of this place, who
was stopping at the Sea View House at
Old Orchard camp ground, had very
narrow escape in the burning OF that
hotel early Thursday morning. She was
occupying a room on the third floor
when reused by the proprietor after he
had discovered the fire. She succeeded
in getting down to the second floor
where she sank unconscious on sofa.
The firemen found her there and took
her out of window. Mrs. Hooper's
health has not been good for some
months, and the very affair nearly had
serious consequences. Her condition was
such as to require almost constant at
tendance of physicians for day or two,
but according to the latest reports she
was improving.
A surprising lot of antique gowns,
dating from various previous generations,
were brought out by the antiquarian
party of the Universalist Circle Friday
evening. Among them all the palm is
easily awarded to Miss Frances Brinckle,
who, in old-style dress and pantalets,
was unanimously pronounced the real
thing in the line of old-fashioned girls.
There was a good attendance and very
lively party.
Mrs. Lyons mother, Mrs. James, from
South America, is with her at Lyonsden.
Professor and Mrs. Chew of Annapolis
are also guests there for few days.

Tea at The Doc" on Saturday proved
to be a very interesting affair. "THE
DOC" wore its party clothes for the oc-
caSion and was transformed into an eX,
ceedingly attractive spot, bearing nc
lingering suspicion of the aches and
pains associated with its earlier career
as the historic little office of big Doctor
Kittredge To Mr.. WinSlow and Miss
Brown is due the credit, and that must
be divided also among their able as.
sistants, Miss Snow, Miss Reilly, Miss

realized for the hose company.

The event of last week was the tourna-
ment given by the Paris Hill Golf Club,
under the auspices of its Greens Com

qualified success is hardly praise enough.
Every detail, even to the weather, was
all that could be desired. The beautiful
cups offered as first prizes were donated
by Mrs. Lewis NJ. Brown, and the four
leaf-clover pins offered as second prizes
were the gift of Chas. F. Mathewson,
Esq. Many contestants entered and
after very earnest and entirely friendly
contest lasting two days, Mr.. Mathewson

and Miss Carter second prizes. The ar
