millinery and for Frightening dark or neu-
trail house dresses and waists.
Fitted bodices of seal, otter, chinchilla,
Persian lamb and dark beaver are in high
vogue this season. They are worn various
ly with skirts of velvet, ladies' cloth, satin,

Box coats Of black or colored velvet or
brocade are among the winter elegancies.
They are lined with shot satin and trim
med with applique lace laid over velvet
points, with narrow bands of otter or chin

Locate the Monument IN Owosso.

At the last meeting of the Shiawassee
county battalion of veterans held at Ban
croft, a committee, consisting of III. IL. Pull
yer, z. l.. Brewer, p. Kline, Il. M. Bill
ings, G. Pelton, A. b. Crane and K. b.
WEIGH, was appointed to take steps looking
to the erection OF a soldiers monument al
some point within the county. So far the
committee has done nothing toward this
enterprise. On Wednesday evening at the
public installation of the G. A. K and w.
X. c., the monument question being under
consideration, 1t came out that there was
now on hand nearly $500, which had been
secured during the past five years for a
soldiers monument In Owosso. The ques-
ton now is, can this fund be utilized for the
furtherance of the project started at the last
meeting of the Battalion. 1t cannot be
used for the erection of a monument else.
where than in this city. II the committee
having this matter in charge will agree to
locate it here, those having charge of this
fund will undoubtedly be only too glad to
cooperate with the county movement to
that extent. But then. where shall it be
located? No one would want 1t erected at
the cemetery, and the city has no public
park. A conspicuous place Is what will be
wanted. If the common council will set
apart some suitable site tor Its erection 1t
will no doubt result in securing it. Will
they do so?
