Millinery Less than Cost.

We have decided, owing to Our
limited space, to close out our
entire millinery department by
January 1, and as we are too busy
to remark each and every article
we have decided to save time by
sacrificing all; hence we will sell
everything in the department at
just one-half the present actual
price. This is no advertising
scheme, but the straight truth,
which will readily be seen by
pricing Our goods. Remember,
everything at just half of former
pieces. !

AS 1T LOOKS TO WOMEN.
The Monthly Meeting Of the Woman
Suffrage League.
ABOUT THE HUMBLE POTATO
IL May be Cooked and Served In Many
New Ways Fashions which are In
teresting Because of their Quaint and
Curious Eccentricities.

The Providence Woman Suffrage
League held its regular monthly meeting
at 331 Westminster street yesterday after
noon, Mrs. A. G. Dewing, the president,
in the chair.
The report OF the annual meeting OF the
Rhode Island association was presented,
and an address was made by Miss Eliza
beth NJ. Yates, who discussed the al
vances made by women along many lines
of thought and action. Briefly reviewing
the condition of women in Greece, Rome,
and in ancient times in England, Miss
Yates considered their influence in colo
nial and revolutionary days in America,
citing Abigail Adams. Mercy Otis War
rem and others, who impressed their per-
sonality upon their times.
The property rights of women and their
neglected claims to equal ownership of
their children were touched upon, and the
contrast was noted between the scant re-
cognition accorded women at the centen-
nial exposition in Philadelphia, in 1875,
and the representation they are TO have at
the Columbian exposition.
Miss Yates's address abounded in tell
ing points, which We're fully appreciated
by her hearers. The officers of the League
are Mrs. A. G.. Dewey, president; Mrs.
Thomas j. Hill, first vice president; Mrs.
Martha Green, second vice president;
Miss Annie Earle, secretary; Mrs. f.. G..
Ormsbee, treasurer, and Mrs. II. G..

The Austrian Empress Enchanted Palace.
The electric arrangements in the villa OF
Empress Elizabeth at Corfu have been
completed The house and the extensive
gardens are lighted by electricity, the
lamps and lusters and candelabra being
for the greater part adapted to the
Pompean style of the house. Incandescent
lights are used for the interior, and large
swan lamps light the terrace and portion
of the landscape around. A perfect net
work OF telephones and signals connects
ali the portions of the house and gardens
with the town and the yacht Miramar,
which rides at anchor in the port. The
empress has named the house Achilleion,
and indeed, the whole villa is devoted to
the myth. 1t contains a statue of dying
Achilles, modelled by a Berlin sculptor,
which took the empress fancy when she
saw it. Italian painters have decorated
the different rooms in the same style as
the patrician villas found in Pompeii. In
all the rooms the history of Archilles re-
curs-his happy childhood, guarded by a
beautiful and DEVOTED mother, his youth,
full of promise. the comely presence,
winning manners, the elevated mind and
hot courage; his devotion to PolyXena;
his death, the sacrifice of Polyxena, and
their reunion in happier world. In the
frieZe over the last picture is n verse by
Bulwer, written in Greek letters, "Nought
of her survives but beauty; nought of me
survives but fame. Fame and beauty wed
together in the isle of happy souls"
