A Word of
Trimmed Millinery.

Many of the hats trimmed in our
work rooms are as pretty and dain-
ty and as distinctive in a style pc
cu1iar to themselves as are the pat
terms from over the sea. This is
season when we exhibit new beau
ties each day, and would like to
describe them, but describing a
pretty hat is like describing a pretty
woman-it seems hardly worth
while trying, because there are no
more just like that one. Come and
see them for yourselves, is the
most satisfactory way. These are
busy days here, but no matter how
busy, we've time to show them, and
there's a rare assortment at such
prices as So so, 81 and 81 so to
select from.
Also for the little folks and
misses we show a handsome line for
81 rs, So, So SO upward.

The purchase Of your winter gar
ments from us is in itself a guar
antee of reliability and satisfaction.
The most painstaking care was
shown in the selection of each gar
ment, from the cheapest to the
best, and they were picked from
the samples OF the best wrap man
ufacturers of the world. They are
perfect in every point and not a
garment is permitted to leave our
salesroom with a wrinkle or a
draw, and considering quality, fit
and Workmanship, Our prices are
sa low as to be simply irresistible.
Do not think OF buying your wrap
until you compare ours with what
you see elsewhere, in style and in
price. Well then be satisfied with
the results.

THE announcement that Will Carleton,
the poet, will read from his own writings at
the Baptist church next Monday evening
will ensure very large audience. The
former visit of Mr.. Carleton to Montpelier
when he gave his poem lecture "The Science

fresh in the public mind. In this lecture
were garnered many of the poets choicest
ballads, and the lecture next Monday
