"The "Children's Day" entertainment
at the Coterie rooms last week Wednes-
day evening, under the direction of Mrs
+. S. Briggs, was very creditable indeed
and the guests who filled the room were
immensely entertained. The bright lit
tie people who took part in the program
showed that the intellectual married
ladies of the Coterie must be the very
best of mothers.
1t is fact creditable to the courtesy
of Paw Paws women, that you cannot
now go into public entertainment with
out noticing that many of them, frequent
ly nearly all in the audience, remove thei
hats so as not to obstruct the view O
those behind them. The Northerne
trusts the custom will grow, until it viii
be considered as much discourtesy fo
a woman to annoy those behind her 10y
wearing a large hat in public assem-
blages, as it would be now for a gentle
man to do exactly the same thing.

has resumed operations. For severa

when the manufacture of the remedie
was first started, has been secured t,
take charge of the laboratory, which ha
been established for the present in tn
Longwell block, in the store formerl
occupied by Cummings. The bushes
will now be pushed.
Men of the navy are frequently givel
credit for showing more bravery in battl
than men of the army, but it should b
remembered that when battle shi
rounds up for fight, there is no chanc
for a sailor to run away, no tree for a
officer to get behind, and no telling, i
torpedo times, which is the safest part @
ship; there is nothing to do but fight
1t is so with f. Smith & Co. For sprin
business, their store is filled as never be
fore with mems and boys attire. The
make another master stroke this week
Their prices advertise them.
