breathing of the girl at my side, but
she did not speak or move. She had
overheard all that was said; she must
also realize fully the object OF these
men. and the desperation Of our posi-
ton. Would she continue to trust
me? To believe in my purpose, or had
the words of betrayal spoken by Anse
Cowan and Kelly left a sting of sus-
picion behind? If they had, would
dare to confess the truth, fully reveal
my identity, and thus leave the fate
of my secret mission in her hands?
Her sympathies must naturally be
with the Union forces; she would see
the issues from the viewpoint of her
father That would have nothing to
do with these banditti. but later might

Some may be outside in the storm

nresses for Girls.

High waist lines are the rule for the
little girls thin dresses. Like grown
up dresses, the skirts of these dresses
are very faring and frilly.
The skirts Of tulle and chiffon
dresses or those Of lingerie, batiste or
very thin silk are often finished at
the hem with three little ruffles. These
are only about three or four inches
in width and are not gathered very
full. A picot edging is used often
instead of lace to finish them, or a
very narrow satin ribbon, perhaps
in a double lengthwise stripe.
Little pulled sleeves that come only
halfway to the elbow are considered
very correct, and they go well with
the general empire contour of the
gown.
In linen dresses the empire waist
line has belt of the same that has
a slot inset in the middle of it of an
other color.

NERGENNES CELEBRATES.

The l50th anniversary of the settle
ment of Nergennes was held under
lowering skies Tuesday, July 4th.

in connection with the placing of a
marker at Arnold's bay, Panton, under
the auspices of the Vermont Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution,
which were to have been held in the
park. were held in the Methodist Church
Redfeld Proctor president of the
society, presided. Prayer was offered
by the chaplain of the society, the Rev
|. c. Smart Of Burlington, The other
members of the society present were
the vice president, Judge Frank L. Fish.
the secretary, Walter H. Crockett and
H, S. Howard, member of the board
of managers of Burlington.
The address was given by the Rev,
G. Glenn Atkins of Providence, R. |,
Despite the occasional showers of the
morning all of the events scheduled on
the program were given, with the eX-
cepton of the hose race. The program
opened with concert in the park by
the Nergennes City band.
In the evening a company of boys in
the uniform of sailors were put through
fancy drill movements under the drec-
tion of DR.. C. H. Cole and H. W, Day.
The boys made a fine appearance, and
were given generous applause. In the
evening there was also concert by the
Vergennes City band, illumination on
the park and street carnival, during
which fun and frolic reigned supreme.
The ,crowning event Of the evening
program was the masquerade novelty
ball in the upper hall of the opera house,
with music by Feton's orchestra of St,
Albans.
The weather throughout the three
days celebration was unpropitious, yet
all in all the celebration was marked
success and the attendance good
At one clock came the street parade,
headed by the State Industrial school
band and delegation from the school,
followed by the members of the Yer
gennes fire department, body of horse
men, a company of boys in sailor uni
form, under command of DR.. C.. H.
Cole, Vergennes City band, city officials,
a large number of school children, each
a flag, decorated floats and
the line of march being
through the principal streets. An at
tractive number of the program was
the folk dance by little children, which
was to have been given out of doors,
but on account of the rain was given in
the city hall. The children have been
drilled by Miss Edna Dickin-
son, but in her unavoidable absence
Miss Katherine Fish acted in her place.

FRESH AIR CHILDREN,
Plans We'll Under Way for Their
Reception Here.


Sometimes 1t is sidewalks, and
sometimes it Is Fresh Air kids. The
sidewalk conspiracy having nearly
reached a successful ISSUE we can at
tend to the youngsters,
Here are a few words from letter
inst received from the manager of the
Tribune Fresh Air Fund, Mr. Leslie N
Comfy;
"The Board Of Education estimates
that there are, in the schools of New
York, 100000 poor children suffering
from lack of food Every one Of them
ought to have a country vacation with
plenty of milk and eggs, sunshine and
play in the open this summer But they
stand no chance Of getting these yaca-
tions if you and the rest of our good
friends in the country do not help US, "
1--WE appeal to you in the name Of
humanity in the name of childhood -
We know this whole story We do
not need to have it repeated, But what
are we going to do about it? Well, we
are going to help little if we can. And
we can. A whole lot of people got away
from the sidewalk racket who will not
escape when it comes to the "Fresh
Airs" Besides, there are people who
will be glad to help the kids who were
not very much interested in the walk.
Then too quarter will make more of
a show in the case of the children. 1t
takes only twenty quarters to keep a
kid for two whole weeks, Just $500
turns the trick, And surely, we have a
lot of quarters and now and then a
$500 bill-in this prosperous community
for this work,
So look alive, The solicitors will be
after you. This is how the account
closed in 1915 and opened in 1916:
