THE LONDONDERRY SITTER.
The indioations are ANAL tha Brai

The indications are that the Brat
tleboro Fair which comes off next
Wednesday and Thursday, will, as
usual, draw largely from this town
and others on the line of the narrow
gauge. Half-fare rates will be given
for the occasion. Brattleboro has
justly earned the reputation of hold
ing fairs unequaled by any others in
the state. This year will be no ex-
ception and no one in reasonable dis
lance can afford to stay away. The
exhibition Of cattle, sheep, swine and
horses will be very fine this year.
The grand coaching parade will come
off Thursday morning. There will
be fine trotting both days and to be
sure to see all that is worth seeing
one should attend both days. The
Valley Fair must be seen, and when
once seen it is sure to be appreciated.

WOMAN OF FASHION.

1t is too bad that Easter comes so
early this year. We can scarcely
feel bright and fresh and blooming
and wenr the gay springy air that so
properly accompanies this season,
when, only IL short time before, the
snow fell fast and the wind blew
keenly iii our faces. We have not
yet had time to accustom ourselves
to the thought of soft, bnlmy breezcs,
bright sunshine, clean, beautiful
streets, gay throngs of women clad
III fresh, spotless attire, and flowers
springing up all over in token of a
changed season. We have held Up
our dresses so long to protect them
from tho awful mud which splashed
from below and the teeining rains
and binding SHOWS that fell from
above, that our arms have not vet
lost the weary feeling that has arisen
therefrom. We have kept orr mack
intosh, orr rubbers, our umbrella,
our stormy weather skirt, and all the
other precautions against iuclement
weather i'll prominent place for so
long TINT it will be strange to SEQ in
tneir stead Il beautiful new gown, a
dainty Easter bonnet, spick and
span parasol, a pair of lovely pale
colored gloves, and all the other
things 80 dear TO the heart of women
IN the spring time, so BETTING the
fresh garb which nature also wears

Evory day, however, some new
ruling or determination comes that
fills the breasts of tho candidates
with the most conflicting emotions,
and leaves him at night i'll possession
OF all of the bewildsring possibilities
that are presented in the political
kaleidoscope.
Mr.. Cleveland comes forward now
with bucket of cold water and re.
lentlessly dashes it upon the burning
aspirations of those who have con
spicuously sought the unanimous EN-.
dorsement of the State delegations.
He now declares that those seeking
office will not be adjudged to have a
sure thing WAC rely only upon the
unqualified endorsement of their del
eSations, and that he will look as fu.
yorably upon those who come with
the full recommendation of their
heighbors and associates as upon
those who by tho ordinary rules of
politics secure the favor of their CON
gressiuen.
VI course the members of Congress
who have always been recognized as
the controlling spirits within their
districts heartily resent this inrova-
tion, and there is no doubt but that
sentiment of resentment is crystal.

some candidates. but it is reassur
ing fact to loyal and deserving citi
zens who have not the pull to reach
the ear OF those who assume to pro
nounce the doom of local aspirants.
Mr.. Cleveland proposes to give
every man chance, and doubtless in
many instances will appoint men wllc
have only the Interrogation of theil
local acquaintances in lieu Of an en-
dorsement by delegations who per
sonally know them not.
The EEK feature of the Presiden

The rush for positions i'll the va

such proportions as to materially

been the stream of visitors that The

this year. That young damsel has
not yet clothed herself in her now
garments, and she seems 10th to pre-.
pare herself for them. Whereas we
poor .mortals have not her independ-
once and must perforce, willy-nilly,
don our. smart attire at the appoint
ed time.
So begin to get ready, fair maid,
and let me give you few words of
advice before you begin. Make your
bonnet u so betwoeu,not too springy,
nor yet particle winiry. To nccou-
plish this you must procure one of
those dainty, now strawa, all fanci.
fully twisted aud worn 80 that they
scarcely look like straw. Get very
snnll one, and it will be ali the more
appropriate Or, better yet, got n
tiny shape, covor it with u Jew eled
crown aud fancy straw edge. The
straw must always be of the genuine
straw color, that bright SHADE. SO like
sunshine. The jewcled crowns are
very beautiful, somo of them made
all of pearls, row after row, large
pearls and small pearls, running out
like the spolles Of wheel, but more
closely; some of them arc goll bars
and emeralds. others nra rhine stones
nn1 gold. Jeweled bugs aud flies
will also be qnite feature of the
coming hat. Some flies have i'm
inense wings aud would need u large
hat To bold them These arc bril-.
liant colored and produce siost COR
geous elects. Even the nigrettes
have taken u new form; for they now
arise from feathers that have been
drawn into a soft roll, instead Of
curling as before, and no ends are
visible. One little gem of II hat that
will come snnnily forth on Easter
day is made of yellow gauze. and has
fine pearl ornament, standing in
front, dotted here aud there with II
rhine stone to catch tile suns rays.
1t il hat, not Il bonnet, but exceed
ing'y small aud lovnble.
Another one that could not posi-
bly, be resisted liz made of particular
ly fine, open straw, so fine and open
that the pale blne silk lining shows
between tho strands. II has grace
full gold uaments i'll front, and
three beautiful plumos. Such pref
ty combination, is it not? All the
trimming on hats seems TO have
come round to the front. We SEQ
not even little bows and loops ut the
back Of the new hats.
Another one is so pure that you
scarcely dare touch it with the tip of
your little finger. 1t is shape Gov
cred with white gauzo and pretty
folds of fine laco. In between the
folds, MI around the edge, peep out
great turquoises that are fastened
around the brim A straw ornament,
wing shaped, is ell that it has for
trimming in front.
! could talk forever ON the fnscin
atinG bonnet question, Int must re-
gretfully pause to take up the spriug
costume. There is no use of talking
you must actually have consid-
cradle slant to your dress. In other
words, your breadths must MI be cut
very narrow ut tho waist limo, and be
allowed full swing ut the feet At
the back in pnrticuln great sullness ia
thspnaed i'll plaits, so that the dress
nlny have ample oppoi tunity to fold
from wide belt, and the belt is edg
ed by narrow embroidery. The
sleeves are exceedingly large leg-of
muitons. over which a pretty lac,
rufflo falls, even TO the elbow.
