A pleasant bome gathering was held
with Hon. George W. Sanderson on
Monday, December 26, when the four
generations of his family, including
thc families of Chester F. Flagg, Josiah P. Thatcher, Judge George A.
Sanderson, Arthur F. Blanchard Burton S. Flagg and Charles R. Houghton
centered under the paternal roof to
participate In the Christmas festivities.
Following the dinner an entertainment fitting to the day was carried
out by the ' children when the old
dining room was transformed Into
Santa Claus land, and the old walls
which for generations havo cherished
such reunions once more echoed with
iiappy Christmas carols and added
another red letter day to the memory
of every one present.

I will tell you; That man, as you say,
will arrest me, and I sbaU be sent to

"How can I do that?"
"We are not unlike—the same height,

glasses. Give me your traveling coat
and your golf cap and put on tbese
Russian clothes. When tbe train stops
an offlcer will come here to arrest me.
But by that time it will be night. I

of despair. 'I am caugbt at last, but I

Wbiie tbey are removing you I sball

Wben tbe scheme was first proposed
to me I had not tbe remotest idea of
perpetrating it. But since it was an

Big Hats May Produce BaldnsM,
London, never as exaggerated as
America's metropolis in tbe matter of,
feminine fashions, nevertheless flnally
bas fallen victim to the enormous hats
of straw or lace affected by summer
gowned womankind. Not only do the
English newspapers and periodicals
denounce the huge specimens of millinery •wbta by women of the
smart set, but they even invent hygienic reasons to prove the evil of tbla
type of headwear. One west end hairdresser, for Instance, has taken ft on
himself tb denounce publicly and In
no measured tone the effect such bats
have on their wearer's tresses. "As
grass turns yellow under a mushroom
so women's hair will lose its color and
deteriorate under the gigantic hats
wblch are now tbe mode," says tbis
specialist. "There Is every possibility
of the fair sex going bald unless a
revolution In hats is effected. First of
all, these enormous mountains of millinery shut Out the health giving sun
and air; secondly, tbey present such
vast surfaces to the wind that they

to remember that things become disconnected when they are divided by a
