'>was the life in the country round
about that which later became
GAINESVILLE. In 1903 there were
four or five houses forming the
little hamlet which seems to have
had no name until in 1911 it was
created by the General Assembly
and named GAINESVILLE in honor
Of one, William Barnes, who had
acquired a portion of the Hays
land, and who later moved to Ohio
where still another town was
named in his honor.
This gentleman by the name of
Barnes built the first house on the
lot where the home of William
Hilton stood in after years. The
first store keeper was Leonard
Hays.
There was a tavern, too, if you
please, where the wayfaring man
could find lodging and food. Good
DR.. Lisle, not very far distant,
was ready to minister to the calls
of him who ver-indulged at the
board.
A tannery was there also, run
by John Poole, and best of all. it
had a real revolutionary soldier
TO call its own. Captain James
Gleason was the hero of a hundred
Indian battles, winning laufels
under Generals Wayne and 81.
Clair, and won distinction in his
country's fight for independence.
He lived in the last house on the
right of the road leading north
ward to the Sugar-Loaf mountain.
In the center of the town was
to be found Abraham s. Hays,
fine, courtly gentleman of the old
school, who was also magistrate
for many years. Tradition tells
us he was wont to hold his court
in his own parlor, and so exceed
ingly decorous were these meet
ings that no unseemly sounds ever
penetrated to the ears of his fami-
ly. In a northern and eastern
direction stretched his acres of
farm land. Across the street was
his blacksmith shop ard his old
slave, "Uncle Ned" was the
village smith.
1t was on his land, east of the
town, once stood that seat of
learning first known as Hays
School House. and afterward
reaching the dignity of-Barnes-
vile Academy. 1t consisted of
one room, sixty feet long by thirty
feet wide, and could house one
hundred pupils. It's palmy day 5

AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS
Chest Clinic

The plans for the T. B. X-Ray
Clinic are being developed by the
Health Chairman of the twenty
four Homemaker Clubs. Mrs. Tip
ton has appointed Mrs. Arma
Rush of the Colesville Club as
County Chairman and the various
club Health Chairmen are to re-
port to Mrs. Rush by May first
the number of club members and
their friends who are signed up
and the hours that the members
will come during one day the
first week in June. This cooper
alton is very necessary in order
that the work may go along
quickly and without delay during
the hours set for the X-Ray Gin
ic. If you are a friend of a
Homemaker Club member, let her
know that you wish to avail your
self of this opportunity and then
you will be listed as to the hour
and the day that club will re-
port. The Clinic will be held in
Gaithersburg from June 3 through
June Z from one to three-thirty
p. M. and five to seven P. M.
The HomemaHers must sign up
at once so Mrs. Rush can plan
with Miss Galliher the final de-
tails.
The Washington Grove Cross
Canteen will furnish helpers at
the Clinic for the week.
The aim of the Homemakers
Council is to have every family
in the club neighborhood asked to
sign up for this health survey.
Help the local club by calling a
member and telling her you want
to be included and state the hour
that will suit you best. Also tell
her if you need transportation so
that she can help the local chair
man plan for such needs.
Washington Grove was the first
club neighborhood to be lined up
and have its report in. Let's see
who will be next in line.
Rural Short Course
Enrolment for Rural Short
Course June 1928, has begun at
the Home Demonstration Office,
with Mrs. Leslie Mullican and
Mrs. James Wilson of Gathers
burg first to register. The presi-
dent of the Garrett Park Club,
Mrs. Bettye Saunders, has report
ed that four members of her new
club are anxious to go.
A very detailed letter from Miss
Kellar told of the general plan
for that week at the University.
The fee is still only ten dol
lars for room, board and the sight
seeing trip. Where can one have
vacation to equal that? The
speakers and instructors are the
! best in the country, so that each
day your horizon is widened as
you listen to talks by national
and international celebrities.
Three Montgomery County
homemakers, Mrs. Alice Kinsey,
Mrs. Clagett Hilton and Mrs.
Motley Davis have never missed
Short Course week since it
started in 1923. The war inter-
rupted the presentation of the
course for four years, but now
everyone is rejoicing that the
University of Maryland has re-
established this practice of open
ing the college to the rural home
makers of the State. If you are

Hartford chronicle., 1946-11-23

Now we turn our attention to the matter of smart suits for this fall. Both single or double breasted are good. It will be noted that the suit for the com ing fall season has longer lines. But regardless of type, one thing is definite.
 To be a success, the suit must have the right detail, right styl- ing, right shoulder line, and also made of the right fabric.
 To my way of thinking, the dressmaker type of suit is the most important of all, and if we'll developed, can be made to be becoming and to be worn under your fur coat.
 Smart women have learned to wear this combination of snappy suits worn under ele- gant furs with great distinction. For popularity of a kind is a swallow-tail suit with the black longer than the front. It has simple pocket treatment and hitch notched rivers with four or five buttons for closing.
 All in all, the style picture in the field of coats and suits gives one much to think about.

FASHIONS ARE FUN by Irma Logan

As the fall season approaches, we look forward to the elegance which the use of fur lends to the smart women's wardrobe. The coming season will not dis appoint us for it will be marked by a really lavish use of furs on coats.
 At this stage of planning for a new season in the field of fashion, the preliminary ideas have had time to crystallze into a definite silhouette that will dominate the picture when the season reaches it's height.
 We look forward to a great success for the seasons new sill houette. It is one that will lend grace to the smart women of fashion, but will be equally becoming to the figure.
