]. A. Ennor of that city has purchased
the pleasure boats, twenty in number,
formerly used by P. j. Clinton in Lake
Emily and that they have been trans

This note is made for the benefit of our
summer picnicers to the Lake, so that
they will not count on the Clinton boats
and be disappointed.

DR.. NJ. Mellin, the noted specialist for
rheumatic diseases and Kidney troubles,
has decided to locate permanently in
the twin cities. His large and sue
cessful practice here for the past
months has encouraged him to take
this step and he talks very strongly of
opening an Infrmatory for Rheumatics
IN the city. A hospital or place where
the sick can be lodged and nursed
carefully and properly is an institution
of which we cannot at present boast and
it is to be hoped that the Doctor will
not falter in carrying out his resolution.
Mr.. Mellin has state reputation in the
above diseases and operated a similar
Home for the sick for several years at
Oshkosh. His patients come from all
directions and his facilities at present
are not extensive enough to accommo-
date them. By all means lets have the
hospital.

etc. The material has to be gathered
by means Of interviews or from the files
Of local papers and it is sincerely hoped
that any requests for aid will be cheer

shape is very like that of the old turban
of hated memory. The trimming differs,
however. 1t no longer closely hugs the
hats brim. but as in the example of one
coarse close plated straw, consists first Of
band Of quilted yelling about the crown,
then OF big chou Of roses or other flow

ribbon. Let the straw be cream or ecru,
the yelling creamy white edge with a tiny
red band, the chou of pink roses and the
ribbon bow creamy white with a slight red
band at either edge, and the combination
Is pretty enough for the shape of the hat.
A more dashing arrangement Is in green

den yellow, and this is one of the favorite
color combinations of the spring.

The edged ribbon. the edgiEg not always
