they have been for few days. They
have made arrangements with a New

tonight, and said the story was true
and that the mill would be in running

Millbury girls have transferred their
affections from street car mems buttons
of brass to covers of tea chests. The
latter fad at least has semblance of
good sense, as the covers which the
young women covet are transformed
into bewitehine bonnets. The straw
mating is. modelled into a handsome
bonnet, bewitchingly trimmed, and
when poised coyly on a pretty head, dis
counts any brass button ever worn by
a fara-taker OF brake-handIer on any
road.
