OF the season, while it will bring ont nearly
all the new creations for the FIRST time to-

women, especially the society leaders, have
bought their spring bonnets much earlier,
late spring honnets few weeks later, and
then summer hats still further along Those
who have heretofore bought four hats dur

The Tame Fawn.

Although they do not appreciate con-
finement in a paddock, 1t is easy to
tame a fawn, and it makes a delightful
pet until it attains to years of indiscre-
ton. A tame roe used to follow the
children everywhere round the old
castle of Duntroon and even up the
stairs and into the rooms. One of his
little play-fellows had been obliged to
give up his room to a gentleman who
had come to stay there, and the sur
prise of the guest was unbounded when
the head and neck of a roe protruded
through his half-open door. Dear
mei'' he said, "game must be extreme
Iy plentiful in these parts!"
Yet just as a kitten would be the most
delightful of pets except for its I'M
fortunate habit of growing into a cat.

declination Of Mr.. Grant Smith,
was not an active candidate for
the position, and expresses HIM
self as thoroughly satisfied the
board has made a wise selection.
It is Mr.. Rocks intention
to enter the medical department
of the University Of PennsylVa-
MA to take a three years course
Of study and become an NJ. D.,
and while he would have laid
aside his cherished ambition for
a year and taken charge OF the
school had the board insisted
upon it, it would have sadly dis
arranged his plans. During his
stay in Webster as head OF the
high school, he proved himself
an instructor Of sterling worth
and indominable energy, and
much Of the present high stand
ing Of the school is due to his
earnest work. One and ali, the
people of Webster will wish him
God speed and good luck in his
chosen profession.
