You can believe the testimony of your own townspeople. They tell it for the benefit of you who are suffering.

Follow this Canaan citizens advice and give Doan's a chance to do the same for you.
 Mrs. Jacob Scamerhorn, W. Main St., Canaan, says: My kidneys were dis. ordered and I suffered from backache. Dizzy and nervous spells were common and was subject to headaches. was restless at night and got up in the morning feeling all tired out. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills highly advertised, I got box at R. T. Farnum & Go. B Drug Store, and began using them. They removed the trouble and made me feel better in every way"

White House Garden Parties

A delightful rumor went the rounds
of society last week to the effect that
Mrs Wilson will continue the charm
ing custom of giving garden parties on
the White House lawn this season
be announced.
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt revived the
custom of entertaining on the lawn
after lapse of many years. and the
events proved SO beautiful in general
effect, so useful in accommodating a
far greater number of persons than
could be entertained in the drawing
rooms. and so altogether delightful
that each mistress of the White House
has continued them since then. In fact
the spring garden parties bid fair to
become quite as permanent a form of
entertaining and as much a part of the
seasons program as dinners, recep-
lions and musicals.

Gossip of Society.

When Mrs. Louis Lehr threw open
the other day for a continuation of the
hat sale held for the benefit of the
Junior Republic she not only gave
many of the women of Washington an
opportunity to buy smart hats at half
or a quarter the price they usually
have to pay for them, but she also
gave Them glimpse of one of the most
attractive homes in the capital.
While not a large house as mansions
in Washington go, it has an air and a
character of it's own. rejecting the
taste of its mistress, which is most de-
lightful.
1t is a new house without any Of the
neWness so often associated with
places recently built.
This is largely due to the fact that
Mrs. Lehr, who was Miss Marie Con-
rad of Baltimore, granddaughter of
Senator John Tolley Worthington of
the Worthingtcn valley, is the present
chateiainc of Montmorenci, the old
Worthington homestead, built in 1850.
and from there she has brought many
pieces of the fine old colonial furniture
for which the old place was and is
ia nous.

Open fireplace, with colonial mantle
and candlestiCks of the same period
on the shelf, and on either side tho
hearth al right angles to it are twin
sofas upholstered in old blue velour.
Everywhere where there is available
space on the walls are artist proof
etchings. rare old specimens whose
soft brown tints tone so admirably
with the background of cream walls.
Moreover. the room has the aspect of
being lived in; in fact, so has the whole
house
Aside from the grandfather's clock on
the stairs, the finest bits of colonial
mahogany are in the dining room, a
big, sunny apartment, whose walls are
hung with old family portraits, an old
sdeboard being the most remarkable
because of its shape.
1t is a corner piece, fitting close into
the angle O fthe room, being in shape
similar to a half-cIrcle, and is very
massive.
Beyond the dining room is a sun par

the antique, but is upto-the-m minute in
