ALMOST AT AN END.
Persons Are Now Leaving the Seaside and
Mountain Resorts

People are now leaving the seaside
and mountain resorts by the hundred.
The season has virtually closed al
though there will be some who will re-
main a while longer.
The two steamers, the Kennebec and
Sagadahoc. are heavily laden with
passengers on every trip from the
kennebcc to the Hub of the Universe.
and a person who wants stateroom
will be obliged to ask for it some time
in advance. 1t was a big load that left
Augusta on the Della Collins, Saturday,
for their homes in Massachusetts. after
spending part Of their vacations, at
least in Maine.
And, by the way Maine is great
State for man to spend his vacation.
during the summer months hundreds
of people from distant states come to
Maine for an cutting. We have our
Bar Harbor, our Moosehead Lake and
hundreds OF other resorts within our
borders. Wnlcn are indeed most Deau-
tiful, and which please the stranger
every day in the week
The exodus by train from Ear Har
Dor and other resorts in that Vicinit!
at the present time is phenomenal.
Every Pullman car going west has
full list. and the passenger coaches
are crowded. These visitors leave
hundreds OF dollars within our borders
in the course of the year. which bene
tit the inhabitants to remarkable
degree.
The season of 1896 has been a fairly
prosperous one, all around, but next
year with Mckinley and a gold stan
dard, money will be more plentiful and
q decided boom at the Maine resorts
will take place. They will come early
and stay late.

My diSnterested advice TO the lover OF

better, and keep them watered until the re-
ward comes. This will be i'll the form of
generous lilies by Easter. AT any time of

PARIS FASHION FLATS.
Advice for Women About to Invest

lConvrieht. 1s96.l


Paris, March I0.-If the Easter bells
had gone ringing over the town calling
all good folk forth in their spring finery
there could not be greater nUster and
hustle in the streets.
The merry nutterers are fair women
shoppers, who are out looking for spring
creations, pretty hats and gowns for
Easter, which is all around the world the
dress opening OF the year.
IL must be admitted that the styles are
mostly III the shop windOwS-those mar

beautiful things seen among the shoppers,
for in Paris women buy good clothes
in which 20 shop, as well as fine things for

tion. be /. known that all Partisan women
shoppers meet their friends a noon for "a
cup or chocolate, and never chance to
look pFettier than now, when the winds
nip cheeks into pinkness and the cold is
not intense enough TO make the nose and
ears glow.
Many demi-season hats are being sold.

dare to leave off the heavy coat of spring.
for it is needed for the carriage and the
ferries, and has 10 wear with these coats
and wraps must be suggestive of the

1t was made out OF grenadine, as this is

was given tie trimming. Upon the top stood
tall loops of the grenadlne, and from out the

The hat ordered for Mrs. IseIn Is q deep

side like poke. Its front, however, does
not poke out dIspT0portionateiy- but sabout
even al around. The deep blue is horGered
with white, and upon the top there Is the
most charming bow Of ribbon in dark blue
and white, with raised velvet stripes
Two wings OF bluebirds flare across the
front OF the hat.
This simple bit of millinery. 7 am told,
cost a prettier penny than many OF the
elaborate lacey er1ccts which We see so
abundantly at this demi-seasOn.
And speaking of lacey effects upon hats,
let me describe avery becoming and fashion
able hat / saw upon the head of blonde
pedestrian who shops a little, walks Il
great deal and seems to .oy the Paris
streets as Partisan women know how To
do.
This hat is q deep red velvet. II is TOO

This little hat had a velvet brin which
looked very light and thin for velvet
hat. 1t was covered over with a wire
frame without any stiffening inside. This
gives the thinness andli lightnesS. .andif put on
cleverly holds its own shape well.
Upon the front of the hat were three
big fluffy pomponS of silk. And over the
pompons fell Il big loose velvet crown.
This Tam crown is much liked in Paris and
holds its own here year after year through
all styles and colOrs and materials.
Therinestand dmostdelicateofIace formed

on over white satin ribbon instead OF being

was thinner and lacier than though the lace

| ] saw one enthusiastic shopper upon tb,
most thickly thronged street whose hat

| for the interval between now and Easte
| flowers.
This hat had white wire foundation
| the wires being wound with white vel
| vet chenille. Between them ran wires
| wound with black. At the left side perchet
| a tiny black veive tbow- This accidcnta
| placing of a coquettish bow is much al
| fected by milliners who want to produc,
| a piquancy upon serious faces.
| Around the hat went hand of hlacl
velvet, from the upper and lower edge
of which projected a thick rufflns o
chiffon. Tiny Jet sprays extended a

This was a mourning hat, you will say
| But wait. The crown was brillian
gold, and CLEANS or gold flashed from th'
lining of the chiffon, for the chiffon ru
rIe was both lined end stiffened. Thi
gold lining was a thin quality OF cloth o
