Aunt Sally's Advice
 to Beauty-Seekers

/ W. c. D. says; My elbows are so thick-sk1nned, goosepimply and mud dy can't wear short sleeves. How can this condition be overcome?f Don't use elbows as props The treat ment recommended to Minnie l.. will make your elbows quite presentable. Ellen B. asks: What should I do for deep lines under my eyes and across my forehead?" Such lines, and all wrinkles, are best obliterated by bathing affected portions in a good astringent and tonic lotion, which strengthens and draws in the relaxed tissue. Here's a reliable formula: l ounce powdered saXOhte, F pint witch hazel; mix and use daily until entirely relieved
 Minnie L.: The undue redness, as well as the pimples, may easily be re- moved by using ordinary mercolized wax. Apply nightly like cold cream and erase mornings with warm water. Soon you'll have a beautifully white, clear soft and velvety complexion. Mercolized wax, sold by all druggists, is better than cosmetics for any com plexion trouble. One ounce suffices for most conditions.-Woman's Realm.

BREED rHEArER.

Truly. a splendid picture at the Breed today is the one entitled For the Sake of the Papoose. It is one of those incomparable western Pathe productions, that fairly scintillate with the atmosphere of the great and glor- ious west It is a beautiful story of Indian life, and wins the admiration of the house by it's beautiful scenery and picturesque characters.
 Quite the opposite to this picture is the one by the Vitagraph company, en- titled The Miracle. a story of old Bag dad This picture is more than rem inisoent of the orient, and by its plot that Is most heart appealing, holds the attention of the spectators and sways them as has no other picture lately.
 A purely vacation picture is pre- sented by the Lubin cast, and as it Is intended solely as a laugh producer 1t Is more than successful, while the Biograph caps the bill with two com sdy-farces that are screams.

FAMILY REUNION.
aatherins of Talbots at Putnam-Old
 Homestead Visited.

Mrs. Louis Olsen of Scotland road. with Mrs, D. B. Talbot and daughter, frs. Frank Marquis, were guests on FhurBday of Mrs. Justin Greene in Putnam Mrs. Greene also entertained Fred Hamilton and Mrs R. w. Hanil- eon of New Jersey. All of the party Rre related through Talbot ancestry end the gathering was in the nature bf a family reunion.
 During the day trip was made by 8utomobile and carriage to the old hemetery in Killingly, where lies bur Jed Jared Talbot and his wife and son, Pf the same name, the latter being a hSutenant in the Connecticut militia an 1Ts7 under Gov. Oliver Wolcott. The older Jared during the revolution was commissioned as lieutenant by Jona- than Tr1mbSrTl. One of these commits Bions with several silhouettes and da- DuerOtypes of the old people is in the possession of Mrs. Greene. This same Jared was one of the original settlers in K1lnngfy. and a prominent public spirited man. according to accounts found in the late Mrs. Larned'S His- tory of Wind1ran County, Tn 176O he bought a watre privilege in Kiliingly on the Five Mile river and built a Erist mill which he operated till his death in ISIS. and which remained standing until 1890 in active use A great part of the time.
 Several photographs were taken of the Picturesque ivy grown ruins of the min, and also of the stone house built by this same Miller Jared" and now in an excellent state of preservation Tn this typical New England home stead the grandfa1hers and great gr1ndfathers of the visitors were born and brought up. and 1t was to their great delight that permission was ob- ta1ned from the present occupants for 2n inspection of the interior. The great, solid timbers, huge, old-fashion- ed brick ovens, deep window sills, carved dails and quaint doorway make fl an ancestral home which it's de- sSendants are proud to claim.
 A of the above data has been gath cred by the Mir. Hamiltons during 25 pears of painstalzing research. They have succeeded in tracing the Talbot line back to the English ancestor who came to Taunton in 1637 and was one of the founders of that town. From that source various lines show pioneer settlers in northeastern Connecticut, khe Connecticut Reserve in Ohio, and farther west in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota Commodore Silas Tal- but. naval fighter in the revolution, was one of the early descendants.
 Fred Hamilton took rosebush from the old homestead for transplanting at his grandfathers farm in Coventry, which he has recently purchased for a summer home. With his brother, he is now visiting George Talbot of Putnam, and other old residents in KilIing1y, whose interesting reminis- cences may find place in the complete family record compiled by Robert Ham, ifton.
 Mir. and Mrs. R. w. Hamilton will later be the guests of Mir. and Mrs. b. B. Talbot in this city.
