THE woorkhouse near Whining
ton has been under the public eye
for a month past, by reason of the
resignation of the Chief Warden,
and the action of the trustees in
holding their meeting behind closed
doors. The people are demanding
the reason for recent developments
and ask that they be fully informed
as to the financial situation Of the
workhouse. There is always safety
in letting the people know how and
where their money is expended, it
prevents graft and begets confidence
in those who hold public places.
incidentally, Milford has a case
very similar to that in New Castle,
in the management of the public
schools here. After repeated re-
quests the Board of Education has
failed to respond to the peoples de-
sire to have the matter of amount
expenditures, and amount received
from various sources of revenue,
made public through the press.
Can it be that there has been mis-
management, and they are ashamed
to let tax payers know the true con
ditions of affairs in Milford? We
believe there has not, but the peo-
pie are entitled to full information,
and they will have it regardless of
any set of men be they board of
education, or the trustees of a
workhouse. Be fair and frank
with the people they paa the bill,
and the officials are only their ex-
ecutive officers.

esting buildings we visited was the Par
lament Buildings, which are the largest
and most magnificent buildings in the
city.
We left Toronto at three o'clock Thurs
day afternoon for Thousand Islands,
which we reached early on Friday morn
ing. The sail from Thousand Islands to
Montreal was beautiful as the day was
clear and made it pleasant on deck. We
arrived at Montreal about six O'Clock
Friday evening.
Saturday morning a "victoria" was
hired to see the city. Montreal, although
a pretty city is not SO pretty and clean
city as Toronto, for the streets are not so
wide or in such good condition. During
this drive we visited the Bank Of Mon
treal, which is the largest and handsom-
est bank of Canada. Stanford White was
the architect of this building. Next the
first house of Montreal built in 1903 !;
also the residence of the first governor.
Not far from this house is BoscO Church
the oldest church in the city. On this
same street is the Notre Dame CATHEDRAL
which we went through, it is the largest
cathedral in the world except at Rome.
There is also a Notre Dame Hospital.
Vigers Square is a public square given to
the city by q man named Vigers he also
established Place Viger Hotel and Depot.
Victoria Square is one of the prettiest
squares in Montreal. The statue of the
late Queen Victoria is erected here.
Next we drove up Mount Royal on a
road called Jacobs Ladder" On our
way up we passed Royal Victoria Hos
pital which lie $50 feet above the sea
level. We also passed the reservoir that
supplies Montreal with water. This
water is taken from the Lachine Rapids
Magils University. Strahcona Hall for
men, Victoria Hospital for women doc
tors and Nelson's Monument were on the
road. On the very top of Mount Royal
is a glass house called observation point.
Souveniers and views OF Canada are sold
in this house On the way from Mount
Royal we stopped at the st. James Cathe-
dral which is said to be the finest of its
kind in the world, as the interior is hand
carved. They have been working on this
Cathedral forty-five years and it is not yet
completed. We also saw the La Val
University and La Patra Printing Office.
We left Montreal by rail at eight o clock
Saturday night, and boarded boat at
Plattsburg to go down Lake Complain.
After crossing the Lake we took a car at
Ticonderoea for Rogers Rock, where we
took the steamer Sycamore down Lake
George this was beautiful ride, in fact
thought the prettiest of the whole trip.
After arriving at the town, Lake George,
we took a train for Albany where We
stayed a day and a night. While there
we visited the Capitol Building.
1t was Labor Day when we came down
the Hudson River on the steamer New
York, and the boat was so crowded that
there were not enough seats for all the
people. We arrived in New York about
six o'clock Monday evening after having
an instructive as well as pleasant trip.
From then back to Milford ended a two
weeks tour-the first of my life exper-
fence, which will always be a happy /
memory. PAULINE TOWNSEND. /

A Girls Summer Tour.

In company with relatives l started on
ny trip to Niagara Falls and the Thous-
and Islands from Philadelphia, taking a
Lehigh Valley train. The scenery was
perfectly beautiful, and all the way to
Buffalo it was a continuous chain of noun
tains. We arrived in Buffalo at eight
O'Clock in the evening; and, as our train
did not start for Niagara Falls till 1915,
we walked around the city for a while,
then went through the Iroquois and La
fatte Hotels. After this we boarded the
train for Niagara. 1t was nearly midnight
when we arrived there. As it was the
only moonlight night we would have at
the Falls we went down to view them by
moonlight. There is hardly words to de-
scribe them when the moonlight fell upon
the spray, making it look like silver, and
the roar of the water rushing down the
river made it impossible for conversation.
Monday morning was spent seeing the
city. In the afternoon an automobile
party was made up to visit Goat Island,
Three Sister Islands and all points of in
terest about the Falls. In the evening a
vaudeville show was given in the Cataract
and international Hotels. After this a
ball was given for the people attending
a convention.
Tuesday morning was spent indoors as
it was raining, but in the afternoon it
cleared off and we took the "Great Gorge
Ride" starting at Prospect Park and
passing close to the whirlpool Rapids
and the River until reaching Queenstown
Heights; first going on the Canadian side,
then crossing the suspension bridge to the
American side, where we saw the "Whirl
pool Rapids" tothe best advantage. This
view represents the full breadth of the
river, between the American shore and
Goat Island, and the tumultuous charac-
ter of the rapids on the American side. !
The bed of the Niagara River at the |
Rapids is a succession of shelves, from |
which in many places large rocks project
to within few feet of the surface. The
upper Whirlpool Rapids are about three !
miles below the Falls at a point where
the gorge is so narrow that the vast flow
of water is brought suddenly into con-
stricted space, which, by the rapid cur
rent is caused to leap fully thirty feet
above the natural river level. The noise
of this tossing, swirling, foaming, struggle
of maddened waters, descending at a
grade of one hundred feet to the mile, !
and a depth Of three hundred feet, is
truly APPALLING as well as deafening. The
canyon walks are not more than three
hundred feet apart, and the rushing flow
between them is at a speed of twenty
seven miles an hour. 1t took about two
hours to complete this ride, by trolley,
on which is seen all points of interest
about Niagara Falls. On Tuesday even
ing another ball was given by the pro-
prietor of the hotel for the convention
people.
Wednesday morning at 11.45 we left
Lewiston by boat for Toronto, arriving
there about three O'Clock in the afternoon.
In the evening we attended an exhibition {
held at Toronto. The next morning the
party hired a sightseeing automobile and /
rode around the city. Among the inter- c

GOSSIP ABOUT PREVAILING

Winter Tints of Striking Hues Are

The black tailor mades, unless of
the best materials, never are so salts

favorite, as it suits so many women.
Gray and blue may be considered suit
able for wear at any season of the
year and are popular with the eco

are essentially winter tfnts, and al
ways blend we'll with the fur acces-
series that are so necessary in the
wardrobe at this season. Coats may
be short or three-quarter length, some
even are longer; but the coat should
not be too long if the skirt is short.
This, of course, should only just clear
the ground unless the woman has
quite shapely feet and is we'll shod
Good shoes are more important to
well dressed woman, or one that de-
sires to be thought SO, even than

TO MAKE OVER OLD DRESS.
A Little Planning and Labor Will Be
Found to Work Wonders.

If you have dress in your ward
robe which has an old-fashioned waist,
run and get it out and rip it apart
Then clean and press it and when this
is done you may get your scissors out
and cut it over into a little jumper
dress.
The waist probably had some full
ness in it and if it did cut it in this
manner: Cut it out in the front to a
point just above the bust line and cut
the back to correspond. Leave about
an inch and half over the shoulders.
The armholes must be cut fairly large
The fullness may be adjusted by
means of two large tucks at the shout
derS, in which case larger amount of
goods will have to be left over the
shoulders, or it may be arranged in
little pin tucks at the front of the
waist. Finish it with either braid or
velvet the color of the dress or black.
If braid is used it should be two
inches wide and if velvet is used it
should be cut into bands two inches
wide for the kimono sleeves and an
inch wide for the waist
The size of the kimono sleeve you

SHORT GLOVES FOR STREET.
Change in Fashion That Will Be Wei.
coined by Many.

A decided change in street gloves is
in the length, and while manufactur.
ers will no doubt regret this different
style the consumers will rejoice, for
this means that about three pairs of
short ones may be bought for the same
price as was paid for one long pair.
A buyer for large house says that
by far the largest stock of gloves they
had imported were those in two-button
length, in plain blacks and whites.
And here is hint to buyers. Already
this house is receiving orders by the
dozen pairs from single customers, so
that the chances are this model will
advance in price as soon as the time
comes for winter suits.
Heavy grades of gloves, such as
cashmere, are ready. These, too.
come in black, two-clasp, and cost
from 35 cents to rs cents. The double
silk gloves-that is, silk gloves with
a thinner silk lining-are very nice
this year and are coy, especially
when a muff is carried.

Fashion DEGREES Larger Hats.

1t was all a mistake about woman s
head shrinking. Really, it is growing
bigger instead of smaller, and the re-
ports about less elaborate hair dress
ing and smaller hats are being dis
proved by the sale of millinery of
enormous size in fashionable shops
abroad 1t is fact that the ultra
fashionable hat to-day is three times
as big as the fashionable hat of ten
years ago. 1t has twice as much
trimming and it's feathers are more
costly. Osprey buying has become a
fine art. OF course hats have expand
ed in price as much as they have in
size. Everything must be of the best,
and the women buy in just the same
way in Ostend, Paris or Monte Carlo.
Americans do not buy expensive hats
generally. They perhaps buy one
good one and half dozen cheap ones.

TuM0Rs CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia {. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound Succeeds

Il have been under different doctors
treatment for a long time without
relief. They told me | had q fibroid
tumor, my abdomen was swollen and
suffered with great pain. | wrote
TO you for advice, you replied and
followed your directions carefully and
to-day | am a well woman. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ex-
PEELED the tumor and strengthened my
whole system"
Mrs. S. j. Barber, of Scott, n. Y,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Sometime ago | wrote you for
advice about tumor which the doc
tors thought would have to be removed.
Instead | took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and to-day am
we'll woman"
Mrs M. NJ. Funk, Vandergrift, Pa,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinknam:-
Il had tumOr and Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound removed
it for me after two doctors had given
me up. l was sick four years before
began to take the Compound l now
recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Veget-
able Compound far and near"
Such testimony as above is con-
vincing evidence that Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for Tuner
Growths as we'll as other distressing
ills of women, and such symptoms as
Bearingdown Sensations, DispIace-
ments, Irregularities and Backache,
etc. Women should remember that il
is Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Com

Line with silk, any color desired,
bringing the edges of the lining over
on the right side, about an inch all

stitched frequently are used. Buttons
are extensively used as trimmings.
and braid can be used without limit,
Some costumes recently on display
had the coats heavily braided, while
the skirts were quite plain For the
girl whose dress allowance is small il
would be advisable to make sets OF
f1ounces in dark colored silks, which
may be buttoned on to black sateen
petticoats and removed and renovated
when necessary. Much of the good ap,
pearance of the tailor made skirt in
town depends upon the fluffy petticoat
beneath it, and only silk gives the
desired effect of fullness about the
ankles.
Large hoods are seen on a good
many of the coats of travelling dresses.
They are an advantage when caught
by sudden showers. In the little points
which go to give chicness to cos
tune, belt, gloves, and shoes are worl
of the same color-gray suede belt,
gray suede gloves, and gray suede
laced shoes were the accessories to
navy blue gown. In the hat line
charming little toques, both in felt and
straw, have appeared for autumn trav-
cling wear. Bright colored wings are
their principal decoration. They are
covered with thin chiffon wells which
tie under the chin. The crepe de chine
veil still is kept for motoring. Another
new item is a white linen hat of the
panama shape, caught up in two or
three places with knots of brilliant
colored velvet. For the young and
pretty a white linen dress, a bright
red pique coat, with one of these hats
is getup which must tempt the
woman who likes to be looked at.

One of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of woman's
dread enemy Tumor.
The growth of a tumor is so in
sidious that frequently it's presence
is wholly unsupported until it is well
advanced
So called wandering pains may
come from it's early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly peri
DDS accompanied by unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh
If you have mysterious pains, if
there are indications of inflammation
or diSplacementS, secure a bottle Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin its use.
The following letters should con-
vince every suffering woman of its
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.
Mrs May Fry, of $50 W. Colfax
Ave, South Bend, Ind, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-

VENUS DE MILO A TRUMP.
That Is What the Modern Woman
Would Call Her

Would Call Her.
It is questionable whether the real
Greek woman, of that immortal epoch
when sculpture meant something
more than a decorative end to an arch
itectural means, possessed the chaste
loneliness accredited to her in the
chiseled remnants left to us. 1t has
ever been the whim of artists to
work away from the physical facts of
their models toward the ideals of their
fancy. The sculptor is usually a
proudly careless historian and but a
poor reporter. All Greek sculpture
doubtless is a highly glorified record
of true Greek ethnology. But, grant
ing such a woman as say, the Venus
de Milo did exist in all her bodily and
facial perfection, she would meet with
but cold reception at the hands OF our
critics of femininity to-day. Her mod
ern women associates would, am GER
tain, adjudge the classic lady a trump.
Ideals change with the centuries if
nature does not.
