OLD HOME DAY AT BRADFORD
FAIR.

The executive committee of the
Fair Association met on Monday
and made some definite arrange
ments about the coming Fair,
August q, 2S and 80. The first
day, August q, will be a big day
as it is to be Old Home Day. The
Bradford Fair has always been
an occasion for the meeting of
old friends from far and near and
this has given the management
the idea of making a real Old
Home Reunion a feature of the
fair. Lyme, Oxford, Piermont,
Haverhill, Newbury, Bradford,
Fairlee, Thetford, West Fairlee,
Vershire, Corinth and Topsham
will each have a tent on the up
per grounds for headquarters and
someone will be on duty there to
give all the assistance possible to
visitors desiring to meet old
friends and to make appointments.
A register will be kept in each
tent to facilitate the guests in
finding each other. The commit
tees plan to carry this out to the
minutest detail will make the first
day of Bradford Fair a Red Let
ter day. The various town COM
mittees will be announced later.

A. A. HEATH.

The death of Abel A. Heath,
which was noticed in the Opinion
of last week, has removed one
who was long and most favorably
known among us. He was born in
Corinth May 10, 1888, where he
married in Jan, 1862, Miss Nellie
Kimball of the same town.
He served in the Fourth and
Tenth Vermont regiments during
the closing years of the Civil
War, when he saw much hard SER
vice. Not long after his return he
and his brother Lyman, who mar
ried Miss Susie Kimball, moved to
Pennington, Conn, where they
lived six years, when they came
to Fairlee and bought the farm
where they lived "a years, or I'M
til the death of Lyman in Nov.
1910. Not feeling able to carry
on the farm alone, he sold out
and moved to Lancaster, n. H.,
where they had two brothers re-
siding. May %, he and his wife,
together with her sister, came to
Bradford for a visit among their
old friends, but they had been
here but a short time when Abel
was taken seriously i'll and died
June 10th at the home of his bro
ther George in Fairlee, where the
funeral services were held. A
large number of friends gathered
to show their respect for a sin
cere Christian and one who was
held in highest esteem by those
who knew him best. Rev. p. A.
Smith, the pastor of the church
where the two Heath families
were faithful attendants for so
many years, made brief, but fit
ting remarks, and the pastor of
the church at Fairlee offered pray
er. A quartet sang a selection
used at the funeral Of Lyman, the
sweet strains OF the familiar
hymn bringing tears to many
eyes.
The family feel grateful for the
sympathy OF friends, for the min
istry OF song and service, and the
many beautiful flowers. amid which
their dear one was laid to rest.
Beyond the storm and tempest
safely anchored,
Just on the other side,
We see thee looking through the
shadows,
Not changed, but glorified.n

HINTS BY MAY MANTON
OF FLOWERED AND
PLAIN BATISTE

Combinations Of lowered material
with plain are greatly in vogue. IL
lustrated is morning gown that
shows white batiste printed with a
dainty design combined with plain
pink and it is very charming and
very attractive. II is simple to make,
also. which should make it especially
desirable at this season of the year.
The jacket is cut in one with the
sleeves and is tucked in a distinctive
and novel manner The tucks give
a yoke effect at the same time that
they provide becoming fullness and
there are only underarm seams to be
sewed up. The skirt is five gored,
but it is laid i'm a wide tuck that gives
the effect Of a tunic and in this case
the lower part is made Of plain lawn,
the seam being made beneath the
tuck. AS will be seen. there is very
little labor and very little time need
ed for the making of such a gown
yet it is graceful and attractive, FASH
ionable and practical. The same
model can be used for any season
able material. If liked, tho skirt
can pc made all of one and it can be
trimmed with bands or finished only
with a hem and stitched tuck Bord
cred materials are very attractive this
season and the skirt could be made
Of bordered lawn or batiste. with the
border cut off and applied as band
ing to give a most charming effect
Stripes are greatly in vogue and
striped lawn could be trimmed with
the same material cut ON the cross
Indeed. simple as the design is, it
means many possibilities.
For woman Of medium size the
jacket will require 1-2 yards Of
material q or 80 or 1 "a yards a

the skirt will be needed "a yards

the lower portion of the skirt 3 yards

the right-hand glove usually wears
out first, leaving the other practical

ness, occasionally turn the gloves ln-
side out, which transfers the right
glove to the left hand, and makes

One great objection to using
