principal places of attraction is the we'll
known dry goods store of Gilley & Abbott.
They have now on hand a full line of holi

times. In making his way through their
crowded store the reporter noticed line of
Indian baskets, made to order at Oldtown,
Me celluloid novelties, including all kinds
of toilet articles, handkerchief and glove
cases, button boxes. Fancy ink stands sta
tionery cases and Japanese baskets, rang.

found in great variety, also fancy mirrors,
collar and cuff boxes, card cases, ladies'
shopping bags, in leather, cloth, seal and

display of handkerchiufs, from large i'm
port order, ranging from five cents to 81 %.
One special value is gents handkeI chiefs,

Kid gloves and umbrellas purchased spe-

damasks, towels, etc, shown by this firm
go a long way towards solving the problem

a young lady who speaks Italian fluently,
