perfectlv Il home as usual. Mr. Relnach
and Miss Louise Bracky, the heads Of
the department. have simply. outdone
themselves In trying 10 serve everybody
and deserve great credit for the Smooth
management Of the complicated work
ing OF the department
Notable among the many beautiful
patterns Is a black walking hat. very
neatly trimmed with wings and ribbons
a perfect dream.
Another lovely creation is a turquoise
blue shepherd hat magnihcently trimmed
with nice roses. Then there may be
seen a black wheat hat the entire brim
of which Is loaded bountifully with wheat
and covered with a lot OF melise. The
side OF this lovely hat is raised by

Then again there Is a Turkish turban
which attracts the righteous attention

In the early seventies the road bed Of the

There were some claims against the

The railroad bed. a strip OF land extend
ing from Keysyile via Ciarksville TO

by Mr.. Finch.
This was nearly thirty years ago, and

morous way.
