The Alma MillinerS.
Many Things 10 Delight the Ladies' Were and
Are Being Displayed

MRS. j. f. LATHROP.
The millinery store of Mrs. Lathrop
was formally opened for the display of
fall and winter styles on Friday and
Saturday of last week, and although the
weather was such as to deter many from
attending, a large number of the ladies
were present and were amply repaid for
their trouble. Miss Anna Mckay is in
the trimming department while Mrs
Lathrop will supervise the work of the
establishment.
MISS c. Z. SMITH.
Friday and Saturday of last week
were also opening days at Miss Smiths
millinery store, and the windows which
were beautifully trimmed, only showed
what might be expected on the inside.
Mrs. j. +. Suydam, who is too well
known to the ladies of Alma to need any
introduction, will have charge of the
trimming department.
MRS. w. NJ. WILSON.
The opening of Mrs. Wilson's millin-
cry store for the fall trade was held on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
this week and the weather proved
exceedingly propitious for the occasion.
The windows were very tastily trimmed
and the interior only reflected them in
style and elegance. Mrs. Bart Miller
will have charge of the trimming de-
partment, which is sufficient guarantee
of the popularity Of this establishment.

Gratiot County Fair Next Week.

Because we have not covered the
county over with big red posters, is no
reason that we are not going TO hold a
fair this year. With notices in all the
county papers week after week and free
tickets in the hands of all the scholars
in the county ought to advertise the fair
in a most thorough manner. Remem.
ber the fair begins October 4. Corn is
all cut, wheat all sown, and no work
crowding. The two previous years corn
was cut by the frost on the first day Of
the fair This year it is all cut by the
farmers, and in the shock Taking tho Sc
things into consideration, we have ar
ranged with the weather clerk for good
weather. and with good weather we ex-
pect large crowd. The track is put in
good shape, the grounds are neat and
clean. Stalls and pens are being fixed
up. and good hay and plenty of straw
for bedding will be furnished free to ex-
hibitors. We are trying to arrange for
good races throughout the fair, and want
to make school day the largest on record.
There is no reason why this can't be
made the best fair in the history of the
association. Now my brother farmers
let us all take a day off, turn out and
make it a success. The power lies with
you to make it success or failure.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rrmbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when itisentire-
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by ca
tarrli which is nothing but the innamed
condition OF the mucous surface.

Paris JACKETS.
Special to the Sunday Cali.

~ ARTS, Oct. 6.-The cool October
Obreezes have brought in their wake
the new fall Jackets. They In no.
wise resemble the modes that have
prevailed during the summer, and still
less are they like those that were worn
last fall.
The very latest thing is the Swallow
tail coat" 1t is modelled closely after
the masculine ''swallow-tail." and a jabot
of lace or mousseline de sole takes the
place of the stiff shirt front. The jack
ct may be closed at the front and it is
then trimmed with reveres orna-
mented with braid to give the jacket
dressy air.
Box coats. cut after the "swallow-tail,"
are going to be rather popular, although
the close-fitting jactets look more trim.
The redingotes are cut with straight
fronts, but tit close into the curves OF the
figure at the back. The high Medicis coll
of stitched cloth. The sleeves are close
fitting The bottom of the coat is cut
in a rounding point. The smartest OF the
showing but a glimpse of the front of the
gown underneath.
Army, jackets are not as popular on
this side OF the ocean as they are on
yours. Those that are worn here are not
strictly according to army rules and reg.
plati9ns They are cut long, and the
at the front with buckle. The top of
the sleeves and the edges have the strap
finish.
Capes are worn within twelve inches of
the bottom Of the gown. They are
trimmed with from one to three frills of
the same material. Some of these gar
ments show another shorter cape of a
different material. but shaped like the
under cape. Golf and shawl capes are
still worn, but the new patterns are very
much longer.
For capes designed to show the gown
there are dressy little collets of velvet
and mousseline de sole They reach a
bit below the waist line and are fashioned
in a rounding point at the back. This
length garment is the only one that short
women should affect. The long redin-
gotes or capes are designed only for tall
women A petite woman in one of these
is subject for cartoonist.
