MILFORD WOMEN
HOLD A RALLY

The Democratic women of the Sec
ond and Third districts of Milford
held a unique and very successful
rally at Oak Grove Casino. Walnut
Beach, last night, which was attended
by about 400 Democratic women and
the same number of men.
1t was the largest rally of either
party held in Milford for a number of
years, and Town Chairman Kerwin,
who had charge of the arrangements,
is confident that Milford will give a
Democratic majority in the coming
election.
The audience was addressed by Mrs,
Josepha Whitney of New Haven. who
was a delegate to the National Demo-
cratic convention in San Francisco,
and who told of the serious objec-
lions which the women of the state
had to the return of Senator Erande-
gee On account of his record of op-
position to all progressive matters
which had come before the Senate in
the past six years.
The speaker called attention to his
systematic opposition to and denun-
citation of woman suffrage and all laws
which We're to benefit women and
children and compared his record or
these matters with that of Augustir
Lonergan, the Democratic nominee
for Senator. which showed that Con.
gresham Lonergan was at all time.
in favor of their passage Of laws tina
would enfranchise the women of the
country and benefit women, children
and soldiers and laDoring men.

USE YOUR
HAND GLASS

The woman who observes must
realize how few women apply them
selves faithfully to studying the hand
glass i'm connection with their mirror.
Many use their hand glass to study
their hair and then do not use it again
except to dab a bit of Powder on their
nose.
This is a great mistake. No matter
who fastens your gown in the back
or helps to adjust your collar or Cir
die, study the results carefully by the
aid of the hand glass. You always
make a final survey of yourself in the
mirror, SO why not swing ABOUT and
have a glance at your back? A large
hand glass, shaving mirror or even a
wall mirror is just right for this pur-
pose.
See that your collar, if you wear
one, is adjusted just right and that
your hair looks well in the back as
it does in the front See that your
gown is fastened just right and that
it hangs at the right angle.
