The genial hostess had been requested to prepare Thanksgiving dinner with all the "fixins", for those who do not have the comforts of home in the bus mess world, and for those who, be cause of the absence of members of her immediate family did not have the heart to prepare dinner in their own abode. The dinner, we'll, it was Hike mother used to make," but that might be revised to read Aunt Martha s home comforts, "and then followed one of those chat fests which caused those who would otherwise be inclined to brood over the incidental troubles of life to forget all the ills and sorrows

MIR HENDERSON'S PURCHASE.

NM llC1NDLlsoOAN ID CSSA1AOESs
 From an authoritive source, it is re- ported that John B. Pope has sold a piece of farm property located on Sun set Hill to Arthur Henderson. It is estimated that there are over 80 acres in the lot and it is almost as level as a billiard table, being one of the most desirable pieces of farm property in Oxford. MT Henderson has occupied a position of trust with MT Pope for many years and he has wide acquain- tance in this section of the state. He is capable and progressive farmer and should be success in business for himself. It is said to be MT Hender- sons intention to go into fruit raising, making a speciality of peaches. His new purchase is situated in the peach growing belt, where they raise the best to be had in the markets.

and look at the world from brighter point of view. During the evening there were diversions, aside from the ordinary comment of the day, and the reading of an original poem, written by one of the guests, as follows: l A THANKSGIVING PRAYER. We were seated round the wood stove in a quaint old country home, When the talk turned on the subject Of
 those who chose to roam.
 Not all of us were happy. because one
 was far away,
 And it didn't seem so home-like on that
 bleak Thanksgiving day.
 "I would be content" said mother, If
 my boy were only here,
 But don't know where he is tonight
 and my heart is full of fear. But we cannot always have our wish,
 our will is not Gods way. So we'll wait along hopeful prayer
 on this Thanksgiving day." 'This world is full of joy, yes, and
 full of sorrows, too,"
 Said member of that family group
 which met at Meadow View. We cannot have the sunshine, unless
 we have the rain,
 And we cannot have the happiness
 without twinge of pain. "As we gather round the table, let
 us utter up a prayer,
 That when the last roll it is called, our
 loved ones will be there. Let US hope that they'll be waiting to
 guide us on the way,
 So i've all may be together on some
 Thanksgiving day."
 PROPOSED SUMMER COLONY. L. F. Raymond, of the firm of Ray mond, Wightman and Russell, 229 Broadway, New York, was in town last week for the purpose of looking at a tract of land owned by Charles Mey- CTS. If the deal should go through the property may be cut up into building lots and next spring a building boom will be under way and several cottages erected by artists and theatrical men who live in New York. The tract of land under consideration is one of the ideal spots in Connecticut for colony of summer bungalows. It is located on high hill, the highest point in Ox- ford and overlooks the village of Quak. CT Farms, with view of the beautiful winding Housatonic and glimpse of Newtown in the distance. From the highest point it is possible to see near ly all the prominent farms in the pretty town of Oxford and the drives in the immediate vicinity cannot be surpassed for loveliness. Those who have driven at a leisurely gait over the shaded roads and lanes in and near Quaker Farms, and along the banks of the Housatonic, will never forget the view, and the sentiment aroused cannot fall in an appeal to the artistic. ,

Trimmed Skirt Favorites.

Now that it is the fashion to trim
the bottom of the skirt with one deep
fold every woman seems to be adopt
ing it, whether it is becoming or
not.
Decidedly it is not when the wearer
is short or unduly stout, as it cuts the
height, the wearers height apparently
ending where the fold begins. If, how
ever, she will slash the deep fold in
several places, and round off every
corner, she will be able to wear this
up-to-date style most successfully.

Well Groomed Hands.

A well groomed hand is a rarity,
even though many people are careful
about the nails. The hands show age
much quicker than the face, for few
people spend as much time on the
hands as they do on the face, and
then the hands are in water more than
the face, with the result that they are
drier and more apt to wrinkle. Soft
and white hands are best acquired by
night treatment. Use a toilet cream
that agrees with the skin, and rub 1t in
thoroughly before retiring, being espe-
cially careful to rub and massage the
knuckles well. Then slip on a loose
pair of gloves to keep the cream on
the hands. Red hands are caused by
poor circulation and often by tight
cuffs or bracelets. Small gloves often
make the hands red and leave marks
on them from the seams in the gloves
The only way to effect cure is te
remove the cause.

HAVE THE MONOGRAM FAD.
Initials on Everything Is the Rule
Now with the Girls.

Girls have gone monogram mad
are in evidence! The background may
be silk, satin or wash material; it may
be leather or metal; in some way or
another the owners monogram is in
troduced, and by no means inconspicu-
oUsly either.
On purses the letters are governed
entirely by the size of the portmon-
naie, but as rule the initials are de-
tached rather than being run together.
Travelling bags for girls who will
move about this summer are not con-
sidered equipped until the owners
initials are put on. For this the let
ters are as plain as those in the al
phabet Of a child, and each is separate.
They are placed quite near the top, at
the middle of the side. Occasionally
they are to be seen on the end, but
ters are preferred to those of nickel.
The newest key rings that girls
may have for themselves or use as
gifts end in single initial letter. The
plain cushions for hammocks or loung-
ing chairs are embellished in huge
initials, sometimes of brass. In the
latter case they are thin, though wide,
and when on tan leather background
are certainly decorative.
Wash blouses show the monogram
done, preferably in small letters, on the
left side of the front; hosiery has a
single letter on the instep.
