MIILINERY.-We would call attention
to the advertisement and the liberal offer
made by Mrs. N. H. Jaquays of YER
gennes, found elsewhere in this issue.
She offers millinery goods Of first quality
at low prices, and then proposes to pay
the fare of any lady from Middlebury
who will take the trouble to go there for
the purchase of a hat or bonnet. We
had the pleasure last week, of looking at
her establishment and observing the
beauty of style, and excellent taste she
exhibits in the preparation of her goods
for her customers. She has hats to suit
every complexion and to meet the capaci-
ty of every purse. They range in price
from $3.50 to $500. You can get q
Glove of bonnet" for the latter price,
and no imitation about it either. We
noticed that the customers began to come
in quite rapidly, though it was early in
the morning when we were there.
