The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-10-16

nad lived In Barre and Montpelier Mr..
Redding was suspicious, and wired the Mont.
pelier bank in which she said she had funds,
receiving the reply that no such name as
MRS: o. w. Burgess appeared on the books
OF the bank. In subse Iuent visits to Mr..
Redding, the young woman dilated on the
vast wealth she was to inherit from Mr..
sIangdon, and mentioned so many prom.
inent Montpelier people that she knew that
the real estate agent, for once, turned de.
tective, and determined to get at the bot
tom of the IN after. From a snap shot, taken
when she least suspected It, an excellent
photograph OF the woman was secured
which was sent to Montpelier last week, for
identification. 1t was Immediately recog-
nized by several parties as a girl who had
formerly lived here and in Barre, and the
facts were communicated to Mr.. Redding.
Last wednesday she was in his Office again,
attempting to impress him with her impor-
lance and expected wealth, and he told her
what he knew of her. She did not appear
disconnected, simply laughed in his face,
ana acknowledged that she had been try.
ing to work him. AS she had OBJ aimed
no money or property under false pretences,
no crime could be oh Arged against her, and,
unless the real estate agent charges up his
lost time and blasted hopes of big sale to
her, the matter will probably be dropped.

A REPRESENTATIVE of the WATCHMAN
Joined the throng that crowded the milin
cry store of Mrs. NJ. e. Dickey in Holmes
block during one of the opeRing days last
week, and through the kindness OF
Miss Dckey and Miss Bailey, the mo
diste of the establishment, took a fresh
lesson in styles and effects in milin.
cry that have been produced this season in
the fashion centers Of New York and Paris
In attempting to describe what he saw the
reporters pencil is lame. He learned that
a great deal of brilliant color is used in this
seasons millinery, and many different
shades and tints are seen on single hat or
bonnet. Tobacco brown and heliotrope is
one of the most popular combinations of the
day, and in this some very pretty effects
we're seen. One of the most popular styles
shown is Of black velvet, with a gracefully
rolling brim and a soft tam -shanter crown
the only trimming being band of folded
black satin ribbon run through rhinestone
buckle and a mass of black ostrich plumes
at one side. Purple revet roses are quite
the rage, and entire bonnets OF velvet flow.
ers, with prancing aigrette in front are the
proper thing for theater or C ncert wear
|
last year, and the punches on the sides have
migrated from the ear to the back, where
they rest prettily on each side against the
hair. Flowers will be much in evidence
and they serve to perfection the purpose fol
which they are ntended-to give masses Of
color. Feathers come in plumes, extra
long and extra short, and the variety in
size makes 1t possible to load a hat with
them, each feather being used to the besI
advantage. The velvet flowers are exceed
ingly beautiful and run to deep rich colort
such as purple, prune and royal blue
with wonderful velvet leaves in richest
green. Large black velvet hats in various
shapes are very stylish. When trimmed
with masses Of ostrich plumes and tips, and
worn with rich sable furs, the effect is al
that could be desired. Space forbds the
mention OF the heliotrope and gold brown
felts with rolling brims and square corners
black leghorns trimmed with butterfly
bows and loops Of iridescent ribbons, tn,
line OF French flowers, feathers, buckles
car bschous, and chenille braids, ETC., etc.
which were deity shown to the bewildered
reporter. Described in DETAIL they would
make the story too long.
