County Agricultural Society is revising the
list, and it is probable that number of i'm
portant changes will be made. Some Of the
new premiums proposed will be of special
interest to the common school pupils, and
other changes are contemplated along lines

tors and the public.

| MRS. CHAsE's OPENING. The first mil
linery opening this season was at Mrs. R.
| P. Chase's, and it equalled if it did not excel
, her past successes. The show window was
unusually attractive. graceful arch orna-
mented with violets and broad heliotrope
ribbon bore the word spring in large letters,
while at the base was the bust of a lady,
handsomely dressed and wearing a stylish
hat of black and white tulle. In the mil
linery rooms was fine display of hats and
trimmings. The hats are generally light.
with small amount of black. Flowers are
used in great variety, from very fine, delicate
blossoms to very large roses. There is not
SO much chiffon used as formerly; it is
principally in the facings, but not used for
entire hats. Hats are generally made on
frames this season. Turquoise blue is much
in evidence and a new decoration known
as cabochon is largely used with telling
effect The sales were the largest of any
season since the rooms were opened.
A WORTHY UNDERTAKING. The sewing
school established in 1892 by the Non-Parti-
san W. c. T. Alliance began its session for
10000 Nov. 10th and closed April 9th, max
ing term of q lessons of three hours each.
The register shows "a scholars. The num-
Der of garments made by the girls was 1O4.
Two hundred and twelve yards of material
was used. In addition to the making of
garments there was patchwork and outline
work, which the girls enjoy ed. The materi-
al was all kindly donated, the use of the
room given by the city, and the wood was
given by Miss Carrie NJ. Cutter The la
dies of the Alliance, and friends, feel that
they were fortunate in having the services
of Miss Lillian Ryan, who has conducted
the school in the past so successfully. 1t is
interesting to visit the school and see the
''little women" busily at work. At the last
session treat was furnished by the friends
of the school, which the children appeared
to enjoy very much The committee in
charge of the school were untiring in their
efforts to make the session a profitable one,
and their labors were crowned with a large
measure of success. 1t is hoped the good
work may be continued in the future.
