sauciest hat is sable lined little affair,
which just shades the eyes enough.
Its only trimming is any quantity of
airy black net, which has been plated

this sombreness, which you, of course

THE TROLLEY-CAR.

As the trolley-car whizzes along country roads on summer evening, its most ob- vious use is the giving cheap and health ful pleasure to people who are tired with work of the day. But there is much else to be set down to it's credit. Cheaply con- structed and comparatively indifferent to grades, the electric railroad finds it's way to many small villages which were left one side when the great steam railways were built. It brings the summer visitors, it re- peoples abandoned farms ,and it gives the farmer a chance to reach a large market.
 Statistics show tendency toward a crowding of population into cities. This is because the cities offer both opportuni. ties for employment and for social pleas ures. But the trolley car draws city people into the country, and if its exten, sion continues at the present rate it will have an appreciable effect on the density of population. Rural real estate where the trolley-car has reached has risen 1T value from ten to twenty-five per cent. This effect is most apparent near large RciH6s. Fifty or sixty years ago, people who did business in cities had to live there. What are now closely built sub urbs were then rural districts, reached only after houIs of riding by private con veyance or a line of omnibuses. Int hor se-cars first ,and now trolley -cars, have extended the suburbs to include large ares suitable for residence.
 Among the advantages of modern life we must give the trolley-c car a conspicuous place. -" Youths Companion"

 Western Massachusetts folk have reason to remember the great sale of carpets held here last June. Over one hundred and fifty rolls of carpets from the great auction of Alexan- der Smith & Sons production were sold at the lowest prices on record.
