Fifteen members of the West End
"63" club gave Mrs. John o. Parry a
farewell surprise party at her residence
on Cherry street Tuesday afternoon. The
afternoon was spent in playing "63,"
and the head prize was won by Mrs. G.
w. G. Wernicke. Elegant refreshments
that had been brought by the ladies
were served, and before taking their de-
parture they presented to Mrs. Parry
a beautiful chatting dish and other nice
remembrances. The affair was greatly
enjoyed.
Mrs. Parry will leave on Friday of
next week for st. Louis, where she will
join her husband, and will make her
home either there or in, that vicinity.
Mr.. Nolan, the impersonator, of Min
neapolis, was the central figure in de-

How to Keep shoes Looking smar.

LAX in their CATERS, lnXer in thei
gait" is an old saying which applies
well to the modern shoe and its wear
er. No shoe Will keep IN shape Ions
unless ii Is put on tree when out oil
use. These trees" are very cheap
but most women look upon them as al
extravaganza. Another rule of the
carefully shod woman is to rest her
shoes for day or so and always wear
a different pair indoors Low shoes
are better for house wear, as they per
nit of ventilation. Select strong
calfskin for n walking boot, keep it
well oiled, and your pedestrian trips
will be made in perfect comfort Keep
an old pair Of shoes TO wear under
rubbers, as the perspiration which in
dia rubber eXcites ruins good leather.

own, and never loses it. The locket is
 case in point. For years the wearing Of lOcketS has been in fashion and has grown steadily in favor till to-day
 lockets are more generally W orn than at any time in the past. To be sure
 there is partial explanation for this,
 the reason that the locket serves a tW"-fold purpose to a woman's dress final grace, and symbolizes an intimate sentiment as we'll. Besides, just now, there is another reason for their 'popularity-their extraordinary beauty. The richness of design in the locket of to-day is little short of mar velOuS-it makes comparison with the exquisite, cunninglY wrought examples of the old time goldsmiths most favor able indeed. MT Riddiford believes that in every department his stock this year is more attractive, more in- tereSting and more comprehensive than ever befOre-and that is saying good deal. He can assure you that you will always find in his store ex- ceptional value, just prices, courtesy and continual desire and effort to give satisfaction. In conclusion MT Riddiford expresses the hope that this little book will be of assistance to many in choosing their holiday purchases, and that it may be his pleasure to serve you not only at this season, but throughout the year as we'll.

 CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES.
 Sunday, Dec. II, Rev F. A. Johnson preached a sermon commemorative of the 18th anniversary of his installation as pastor at the New Milford Congre- gational church. After reading the latter part of his inaugural sermon of 15 years ago, containing suggestions for the future work of the church, he stated how the church had much more than carried out these suggestions. The interior of the church has been en- larged and reconstructed, a chapel, parlOr and clasS-roOms have been added; beautiful and comfortable new par sonage has been built; a fine new or gan has recently been presented; an artistic Tiffany memorial window has been placed, and other improvements added which have increased the con- fort and usefulness of the church. In these years S78, 1858 was given for par ish purposes, and $33,694 for benevo- years ago the membership was BIS, and 324 members have been added, but 1O4 have died and 79 have been removed from the roll by letter or otherwise, leaving present membership of 437, net gain of 122. On Sunday pictures of the old church, as it appeared 15 years ago, before it was renovated, were displayed on the pulpit platform.
