PARAGRAPHS FROM POMFRET

the span of an ordinary lifetime she
 had participated in events abou. her, while almost to the last hour of her
 existence, she followed with zest all that took place in the world at large. A constant reader, a good talker, an eager listener, she was in touch with all questions and problems of the day.
 Politics, the worlds history, national
 and international welfare, the church, the life and growth. of religious insti-
 tutions and teaching at home and abroad-aH came within her ken, stimulated her vigorous mentality, and made her life one, of unusual contact
 with the world about her.
 Louisa Jane Sumner was bern in Ashford, Nov. 3, als2s, daughter of
 Timothy Sumner of Woodstock and I Prudence Haynes of Bromfeld, Mass. In 1851 she wassnarried to Edwin
 Ruthven Reyes. Both Mir. and Mrs. Reyes were educators, and for some years after their marriage they taught together in different schools and acad- emies, finally establishing themselves
 in Pomfret few years before the be- ginning of the Civil War. At this time I they bought farm, now the estate of
 Mrs. John Addison Porter. From there, Mr. Reyes enlisted, leaving his wife with five small children and the entire care and responsibility of the farm, no small undertaking for a young woman anaccustomed to such work. Leaving Pomfret in September of 1862, Mr. Reyes was wounded at the storming of Fort Hudson, Louisi- ana, in May of s63 and died three weeks later on Jnua i2fhssat Baton Rouge, from inquiries Fec6sved at this
 charge. s1-r.--- ''''~' N's sa Through the years of discoursge-
 ment and hardship and sorrow that
 followed, the young widow never lost
 courat-s or faith LOT 3hef determination
 to grappae successfully ~rifa her prcf- , lems. One of her childreR, Rosa M., died in infancy, but the others grew t'
 maturity and n,ade for themselves sue
 cessful careers. The only son, Ruth. ven Sumner, man of excellent busi-
 ness aehsevment. died in the west in llS98. Three sisters, Amy A., Ellen L.
 and Minnie F., survive thear mother
 The forraer is the wife of Rev. c. E- Gorden, pastor of the Congregational
 church at Francoria, N. H., former
 pastor of the Congregational church 1 in Ponfret, 1876-7. The Misses Reyes
 occupy the old home i'll Pomfret,
 where they have always lived with l their mother. There are alse, surylv- | ing, six grandchildren and seven great
 grandchildren, the eldest born on Mrs.
 Reyes eighty-third birthday.
 The funeral from the home on Sat l-urday afternoon, Jan. 29, at 5 o'clock, Ioonducted by Rev. ]. Spencer Voor-
 hees, was largely sttended by old ifriends and neighbors- Burial was in Ihe north cemetery. Among those

Old age is dry. drab and dull. When
a woman no longer feels that ir-
resistib1e impulse to powder her

complains about 1t. A shiny nose is a
more reliable stigma of youth than
| a red nose is of total abstinence. for
| every little while one hears of an
| individual with a red nose who really
does drink.
In youth the sebum or skin oil is
secreted copiously and it keeps the
young skin soft and pink and warm
as a skin ought to be. Sometimes
