A Woman's Use or Gfmlets.
 From Hsrdvare.I


 A short time ago a modes. little lady avenue in this city snd asked about our stock of gimlets. Being informed, she said that she wished to purchase some. They were brought forth and placed upon the counter fer her s,l.c;ion. In the meantime she had proceeded to make her self at home by placing her numerous packages and umbrella in @ convenient place. Stepping once more to the counter, she opened the conversation thus: Young man, you are not aware of the new use make of these little boring mschines."
 My thoughts began to wander to numer- ous things out of the ordinary use. Civ ing me no time to make reply. she con- tinued: "Soms years ego was in 6 hotel h the town of B.

FASHION NOTES.
Hat Oddities.

The woman who strives to be at the fore in fashion matters, and. to show 1t plainly, takes of her rings and puts them on her hat. Hats are trimmed by wide ribbon passed about the crown and drawn at the four corners into great spreading loops through rings. The loops at the sides of the back of the hat are longer than those at the sides of the front, but the latter are wide enough to scare you. The four rings need not match, and they should bs of the hoop kind set with jewels all around the hoop. You see the desire to lengthen the fat distance between the loops of the
