termination to have an operation per
formed was reached by DR.. Stanford.
when he realized that his condition
might become serious. Various rumOrs
gained Credencs concerning the charac-
Ter Of Or. Staftord's Illness. but when
the operation proved successful and
cheering bulletins were sent out from
the hospital. the congregation and other
friends OF the priest were treasured.
Congregation Informed.
Some time later. the announcement
was made in church that DIT. Stafford 8
attending physician had declared he
must have a complete rest. and could
not consider returning to his duties
until fall This decision was supple
mentsd with the restriction that he
must not, under any circumstances, go
abroad. a trip which had been partly
contemplated by DR.. Stafford. Many
read between the lines OF the doctor 5
stipulation and concluded that Or. Stat
fords aiIment was far more serious
than his friends had been led to be
Ieve.
Some members OF the congregation
suggested, IN order 10 prove TO DIT.
'5tamord their devotion TO him and
genuine hopes for recovery, that the
congregation get up a subscription Of
money as a gift from his friends and
permit him 70 go where he pleased and
enjoy the months during which his
physicians said he must rest Nearly
s2,000 was raised through this sub
scription and nothing which had ever
been done for him by his congregation
so nearly touched his heart as this
mark Of affection.
DR.. Stafford went 10 Atlantic City and
remained the entire summer. His
friends from Washington who went 10
Atlantic City never failed TO 1all upon
him. Some returned with glowing &c
counts Of his Improvement and others
with the discouragi ng report that he
locked far worse than he had ever
before. DIT. Stafford, however, kept
Up ais spirits and when he returned TO
Washington IN the fall Il was believed
that he had materially improved. He
never returned 10 his duties. however,
but paid visits 10 various friends out
side OF Washington and made every
effort 10 put aside the all too convinc-
ing proofs that his end was not Tar of.
Twice he went 70 Barnesville. Nd,
where he was the guest Of the Rev.
George B. Harrington. and on both OF
these occasions he gained materially in
weight.
Several weeks ago when the congre-
cation Of St. Patricks was leaving the
church after the 10 o'clock mass on
Sunday DR., Stafford came out of the
school where he had been making a
visit 70 the Sunday school, and went
up c. street and down Tenth on his
way 20 the church. Everyone who saw
his that DAY was shocked al his APP
pearance. From a man Of wonderful
physique he had lost flesh until he
looked like an entirely different person.
His height was accentuated and his
face wore a gaunt look that flashed
death from every line. He wore his
long cloak. thrown carelessly over the
left shoulder as was his custom, and his
berTetta. At first glance many die not
recognize MIN. Upon inquiry that day
DR.. Stafford declared that he felt much
Improved and seemed in very good
spirits.

IMITATION FURS r,

Among these superior limitations that
will be popular for children's use during
the coming season are coney, brown "sa-

PLENTY OF FRESH AIR
CLEARS COMPLEXION
Physical Exercises Help in Relaxing the Nerves and
Should Be Employed By Every Woman.

In the never ceasing fight for beauty
that should be waged by every woman
the necessity of fresh air cannot be too
highly estimated. For exercise and cos
metics will avail little if one sleeps in a
poorly ventilated room.
Some persons have an idea that if a
room is cold the air in it is fresh. yet no
greater mistake could be made. Low
temperature and ozone are not synOny-
nous, as applied to house. for the cold
est air indoors may be foul. Without ven
tilation there cannot be freshness, and
ventilation means a current of air, a
space for egress as well as ingress-
To secure pure air. If both sashes can
not be raised 1t is better to lower the top

The ideal way OF ventilating i sleeping

though this may be done when the person
using the room is strong and vigorous
and can stand excessive cold. There will
be healthful sleeping conditions with the

part of the window is also open. Extra

the lungs will be constantly refreshed and

fastened at each side of the front. There
then was a ruche, top and bottom. the

Against the top or neck ruche were
laid ostrich tips. standing erect, each
about three inches apart. The tips curled
out, the higher ones. OF course, al the

the collar in such manner as to conceal

A white one would be charming for
evening, but black is better for general

A CONTEMPORARIES JOY.

1t is easy to detect a note of joy wher
the Rutland Herald says, For the first
time in 40 years there is no representa-
tive of the House of Proctor in public
life in Vermont" Considering that the
Proctors and The Herald never would lie
down together, since p. W. C. took a
domineering hand in the management OF
the latter, the Joy of the contemporary
is perhaps natural enough. II is trihe
unjust, however, to gloat because the
Legislature has thus far not followed the
advice of Ex-Governor +. d. Proctor in
his retiring message. The legislature
has not been in session more than seven
days, and has hardly organized, TO say
nothing of transacting business. It is
too early yet for any recommendations
to crystalline in the form of legislation,
even though there were man on the
spot to engineer them into being. It is
not a slap at Proctor or his recommenda-
tions that they have not been immedi-
ately set into the statutes. In fact, it
would place Vermonters in ridiculous
light il they should without mature de.
liberation enact something into law
because someone told them to do so.
They would be in the Proctor leading
strings in dead earnest then; and that
is what The Herald would have us avoid.
